It was our first experience with a childminder and we were very impressed. Our daughter started with Olivet at 9 months old and settled in very easily. From the beginning she was happy when we were dropping her of and picking her up. It's such a peace of mind knowing that she is with someone she likes and who we can trust. Olivet takes her to baby groups, to the parks and to the local library. She is responding to her developmental needs with new activities. Oh, and our daughter loves the meals that Olivet prepares. It's also important for us that Olivet communicates with us on regular basis and she puts lots of updates in the journal.
