There are actually no words to describe how wonderful Nerina is as a childminder and person. From the first moment of entering her house, you feel the friendly, welcoming, warm, calm atmosphere that she and her lovely family create and surround the children with. Our little 2-year old boy, who is generally a little apprehensive when it comes to staying with someone else, transformed into a happy little person, skipping into her playroom as soon as he arrived. It was a pleasure to observe and made having to go to work so much easier.

She goes on fun outings with the kids, such as soft play, library, playgroups, parks, and seasonal events, and provides delicious food for the little ones. My favourite read of the day was the little journal she keeps and sends home with your child.

On top of all, she was incredibly flexible and understanding of our unusual working schedules and accommodated us whenever she could.

It broke my heart having to take our little boy from his happy place under her care due to us moving, and he still misses and talks about Nerina.
