We had just moved in Bishop's Stortford and only had had a brief contact with Wendy when our 3 year old son started with her two full days a week besides preschool. He loved it from our first visit when he saw the great outdoor space, the toys and the slide in the garden!

Being educators ourselves, we were looking for a childminder who would be nurturing but firm and able to adapt to our son's interests to help him grow and get ready for school. We have been really pleased with Wendy in that respect. She has a genuine love for children and supports each one of them to flourish through the learning experiences she provides.

Wendy has also been very flexible to adapt to our changing schedules in the course of the year and has been a great support to us. She is also available for parents and I have greatly appreciated that she has taken the time to chat/e-mail whenever needed. Our communication has been great and I can say that I have left my child in her hands with the peace of mind that he was being cared for just as if he were with family. I am delighted and looking forward to our son returning to Wendy's before and after school as he starts Reception this September .
