Denise is an absolute treasure. We don't have family nearby and she has been instrumental in the development of our 4 year old son into the lovely, fun and happy boy that has just started school. She goes above and beyond, always looking out for our son and offering me emotional support during the tougher times (potty training, 2nd child, lack of sleep arrrrgh :)). My younger daughter is now with Denise and I would passionately recommend her to anyone looking for a caring childminder that provides a home from home.
