Elicia has been my daughter’s childminder for 3 years and I couldn’t wish for a better childminder. Elicia understands children and knows what they need and when they need it. She makes them feel safe, secure and happy. Elicia reinforces what is taught in school and home in terms of academic skills but also important values such as friendship and kindness. The setting is equally wonderful ‘a home from home’ with a lovely playroom, outside play area and dining area for everyone to enjoy their meals together. The food provision is outstanding and my daughter often comes home telling me how to make carbonara, shepherds pie or chicken soup. Elicia’s communication with parents is excellent and includes termly overviews and daily communication when needed. Elicia also plans special outings to theatres, local parks, libraries and play centres broadening experiences and building confidence. We feel very lucky that Elicia and her family are such a big part of our daughter’s life.
