The dream childminder

My daughter started at bright butterflies when she was just 10 months old, and stayed with her until she was over 2 years old. I can honestly say Maz was like a third parent and came to be such an important part of our lives. Incredibly caring, switched on, emotionally intelligent to the children’s needs, reliable and trustworthy. She had such a reassuring structure - would always send the daily food menu which consisted of healthy, good food, the day would often then revolve around a theme e.g. if it was autumn, they would go for an autumn walk, collect leaves, do arts and crafts with them, read books about autumn and sing songs that related to it - creating a healthy, stimulating pattern to the day, with a combination of activities. Maz also really thought about different toys and development activities depending on the age and personality of the child - she really thought of everything and we felt our daughter had such great access to so many different types of play and activities.
The most important thing was how our daughter behaved - she would run in and give Maz the biggest hug when she arrived and would often cry when it came to home time(!) only now she is at a nursery and is not that keen that I realise how truly special Maz was. I can’t recommend highly enough, the feeling that your child wouldn’t want be anywhere else but here was priceless.
