Excellent Childminder who really cares!

My 2 year old was in Alison's care for almost a year and we were devastated to have to leave her as we moved away unexpectedly. From day 1, my daughter loved going to Alison and spending time with her and her kids, who quickly became like family to her. Alison really cares about what she does, more than any other child minder I have come across. She is so dedicated, has so much energy (more than me!) and is constantly organising activities, art and crafts, games, walks and day trips. What I love about Alison is that she really wanted to help develop my daughter and every day, she would come home knowing new colours, numbers and letters. She even helped with a long potty training month, when I was just about to give up! At the same time, Alison is also very professional and I particularly liked the daily updates, photos and emails she provided in writing so that I didn't feel like I was missing out on my daughter's growth. I know that my daughter had a great time and got so much out of her time with Alison, as every day still, some weeks later, she still wakes up and asks "are we going to Alison's house today?" I would very highly recommend her services to anyone, especially if you are looking for more than someone who will just "mind" your little one. Alison is excellent in her approach with kids, her breadth of knowledge and fantastic dedication to her vocation.

Awww many thanks for such lovely comments :-) I really enjoyed looking after your daughter and my children really loved her coming to mine it was nice to see them all get along which is very important :-). We were so upset to see her go, but wish you all well for the future and my children are hoping to send her soon a picture they have made for her :-)
