We did a significant relocation to the area and had to find a childminder for our just-turned-5yo for a couple of months prior to his starting/transferring school. We visited/interviewed a couple of candidates but knew within a few minutes of stepping through the door Corin was the man for us.

That choice was vindicated in the coming weeks as our son was accepted by Corin and his lovely family into their home. Corin took him to all sorts of interesting local places. Sometimes train trips to places slightly further afield in line with our son's interests (dinosaurs, animals etc!). He's seen more of the area than we have :) Relocation is a stressful thing for parents and children alike but we know this experience hugely helped our son and all of us settle in.

Few other points:
- Usually get a text or picture message with that days adventure.
- Good comms
- Family home environment

No problems at all, we all worked well together!

We would unreservedly recommend Corin if you are looking for childcare in this local area in 2016 and beyond. I'd be very happy to give a verbal reference any time (ask for my number) to complement this review. Please just ask Corin for my number.
