Val has looked after my son Jacob since he was 10 months old he is now 4 and she is absolutely wonderful and couldn't ask for a better person to look after my son.
I chose the childminder route as I wanted a more home from home upbringing for Jacob. I'd known Val for a couple of years before I had Jacob and knew from the moment I decided on what childcare route to go that Val was the person I wanted to look after him and luckily she had a space.
She is an amazing woman who will do anything for your child. Her house is very clean and welcoming and has loads of indoor and outdoor toys for them to learn and have fun with. Jacob loves going to her and never wants to leave when I pick him up!! He comes home quite regularly with pictures and things he has made especially for special occasions.
Val always updates me on how Jacob is doing and concerns she may have. She is very flexible and has helped me out last minute when needed.
I couldn't ask for a better lady to look after my child. She is lovely, kind, caring, thoughtful and very understanding. Jacob has been so happy there and I will be very sad when he has to start school. Val has been part of our lives for nearly 4 years and is not just a childminder but a lovely friend too. She is amazing! ? xx
