I’m not too sure there are enough words to describe how incredible Julie is; she is simply one of life’s most amazing people. When we decided that we need to put our son into a childminder setting Julie from the off showed high levels of professionalism by inviting us round to her home which is her child care setting, ensured we saw her work as a childminder with other children and showed us her style of teaching and play. We was encouraged to look through her reviews and certificates to make sure that Julie was the right fit for us- to me this just shows that Julie puts the children and their needs first at all times. Once we had decided that it was a no brainer to start our son with Julie, she offered us some taster days so that our son could settle into the new environment before starting for 2 days a week.
From the off Julie made him feel welcome, and he settled into Julie’s care in no time. Each week there are different activities that they do including going out to local play groups. It is safe to say our son has thrived in the time he has been with Julie and we have noticed his speech has come on leaps and bounds and we have Julie to be forever grateful for assisting him with that. Potty/ toilet training also commenced whilst he was under Julie’s care and with her encouragement he has bypassed the potty and gone straight to being comfortable on the toilet. So many little examples I could use to explain how Julie has played such a pivotal role in making our son into the great little guy he is today.
My husband and I will be recommending Julie to everyone; even though it goes without saying she is probably the most in demand childminder around for miles. We will always be so grateful that Julie has been such a big part in our lives and has helped our son grow, we Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts.
Even now, our son will often mention Julie and her family alongside the other wonderful little ones she cares for and it just shows she has had such an impact on him.
You are one of life’s finest Julie! A big thankyou once again and for those considering a childminder in the Oakley and surrounding areas look no further- this lady is a gem x
