Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
A highly recommended and absolute godsend of a childminder who we were introduced to when my son was 9months old. Belinda was reliable, flexible and very supportive in every way to both me and my son (who is now 3.5yr old).
Belinda's home is a very loving and caring environment where children are encouraged to be creative, role play and have fun in aide to learn to interact with each other. She offers breakfast and lunch in with her price too which again, due to early work starts was a great convenience to us. She supported my son (and me) through teething, potty training and when he was first introduced to nursery, encouraging him in every possible way. Due to redundancy I no longer need Belinda's services but we keep in touch to this day as she has become like a second mum to my son.
