Julie was our childminder for over 5 years and looked after both my very active boys in this time. The boys absolutely loved being with Julie, every day was different but with the right balance of activity and down time. Activities were varied and included crafts, walking her dogs, attending playgroups or even trips to a local farm. The boys formed strong relationships with Julie and the other children in her care and we were very sad when they started school and our time with her came to an end. I can honestly say Julie went above and beyond for us, if ever I had to work late she would be flexible to keep the boys without issue, she was also very supportive with issues pertaining to our family, for example my youngest was due to have an assessment for his school entry, part of this, at only 3 years old was to be able to write his name and count to twenty, Julie spent time doing this but never such that it felt like a chore to my child. Julie is extremely creative in play and experiences and the children would bring her wonderful homemade pieces of art. Julie is diligent in her knowledge and understanding of OFSTED requirements and kept me informed of my child's development steps with pictures and booklets. Fabulous, I would not hesitate to recommend.
