Wendy has been looking after both of our little boys since they were 6 months old. Wendy’s greatest quality is that she loves them both - and they love her. To them she is “Wendy” not a childminder and they feel very at home in her house and with her family. They both rush off to play when we drop them off in the morning and we have never had any problems leaving them - they feel so settled and secure that we have never doubted that leaving them with Wendy is in their best interests. She has a wonderful selection of toys and activities for them in her (lovely clean) home - and they also spend a lot of time going out and about - to toddler groups, to other childminders’ houses, to the woods or park, to the library, to the shops, further afield on train trips / day trips (e.g. Hampton Court, Portsmouth, Windsor). My husband and I regularly reflect on how lucky we are to have “found” Wendy and how lucky the boys are to be being brought up by her - we almost feel like we’re doing them a favour by going to work ;-)
