I first used Coleen when I was in need of a reliable and safe childminder because I was previously using someone in another local village who was not meeting the needs I was expecting and paying for. From that day my son and I were welcomed into Coleen’s front door I instantly knew this was going to be a lady who not only was to be major care and support for my son she also become a dear friend where I have been able to use her shoulder to cry on and has become part of my support and rock to allow me to work and grow my career in the relevant fields I have explored after having a child.
She ensures she gets to know individual children’s interests and personalities. She knows what the children like and dislike.
Her home is also her work space and has ample amounts of toys and activities for the children to use and have each day. And a well organised garage for them all to be stored in!
There is no problem or issue that prevents Coleen from doing her very best to support and provide care for the children.
My son has made many friends that without time in Coleen’s care he would not have the time to play and learn with them outside of school time.
Being a working parent Coleen has always provided professional paper work to show her career is organised and up to date. She provides care for children at a very reasonable price. Her working hours are catered to suit all working parents. She is an emergency number on my sons school details if I cannot get to school as soon as possible. I do not know what I would do without Coleen. She is a star, an outstanding, caring and genuine childminder that any child who gets the opportunity to be in her care will always know they are safe, protected and cherished!
