When I had my daughter Isla in May 2011, I never planned on sourcing childcare when I returned to work as family members had offered to look after her for me, when that fell through I had to look into childcare which was a daunting and scary experience. Aileen soon put me at ease and is now like a member of my family. Aileen has been looking after Isla for 2 days a week for over a year and half and it is one of the best decisions I ever made. I trust Aileen 100% and she is far more than a child minder, she offers advice and support and because of her experience and skills Aileen is always recommending innovative ways to further develop Isla, help her and solve any issue or problem we have. Isla has shown massive development and progress since been in Aileen’s care, she is very advanced in many areas and I strongly feel this is down to Aileen’s interaction and the different activities they do on a daily basis. Isla is very happy at Aileen's and sometimes doesn't want to come home! Due to attending Aileen’s child care services Isla has being able to interact with other children, adults she is unfamiliar with and set boundaries by another adult (beside family members) this has helped her progress immensely and preparing her for nursery and school.
