We have been so lucky to have Fernanda as our daughters childminder. Fernanda looked after our daughter from 14 months to 21 months and she thrived in the 7 months that she was with Fernanda.

Fernanda and her family are so welcoming, kind, nurturing and her setting was a true home from home. We did not have any worries leaving our daughter with Fernanda and would recommend Fernanda to everyone and anyone. She provides nutritious meals, fun activities and many additional extras that she does without thought.

Our daughter loved going to Fernanda's and after the initial settling in period would happily walk/run in without looking back at us to say goodbye, she would literally run in to Fernanda's house to see Fernanda and her family. Fantastic service and can't speak highly enough about the childcare provisions, development, and genuine care that she received.

Finally the little dog Sushi is so cute and amazing with children, our daughter loved playing with Sushi and still walks around with a toy dog under her arm referring to Sushi.

In only 7 months the impact Fernanda and her family had on our little daughter is astonishing. I am so sad that Fernanda moved to Peterborough, London's loss is Peterborough's gain.
