Val has been my son's childminder for just over a year and a half, I was so worried about leaving him with anyone, he hadnt been left with even family before! But Val is wonderful, caring, passionate about her setting and loves the children she looks after!
Leaving my son with Val is just how I imagine leaving him with a grandparent (sorry Val) would be. He loves going to her setting, they play outdoors, go for walks, get messy and do everything you would want your child to be doing during the day. My son comes back with all sorts of beautiful paintings and crafts.
This is an honest setting, all 3 ladies are lovely, if you have any worries about your child's development or anything, my little one went through a few night terrors and I had no idea what to do, I spoke with Val and I felt reassured and ready to take them on. The advice is only given when it's asked for, I never feel undermind or judged by Val. Even when I forget my son's lunch once in a while!
Her beautiful home is the perfect setting, it really is a home from home for my little one :)
