Diane looked after my 3 year old son for 9 months. Due to a house and job move all at the same time I was very anxious that he would take a while to settle down. I needn't have worried Diane's environment was ideal for him she has a relaxed approach whilst maintaining her high professional standards he bonded well with her own children as well as the other minded children in her care easily.

They participated in many toddler groups throughout the week I received a new piece of art work every day. They frequently went to the local parks in all weathers which my son loves. Regular visitors to the local soft play.

Since his time with Diane my son has learnt a whole host of new skills from creative skills like baking and painting right through to social skills and speech and language development.

My son attended Diane's setting during her most recent offstead inspection and it really is easy to see why she received such high praise from the inspectors. Every child in her care is treated like and individual with all of their needs met as she takes the time to get to know each one she adapts her care around them.

I have been a working mum since my son was 6months old and I have now given up work to look after my son myself as I feel I have spent enough time away from him. However if I was to continue to work I would not hesitate to entrust my children with Diane she is a kind and caring professional person who we all miss greatly.
