Dorothy has been looking after our son since he was a 3 month old baby, now he is 11 years old and will be starting secondary school later in the year.

What lead us to our decision to choose Dorothy to look after our son was not just her professional qualifications, skills and experience, she also provides a wide range of activities for her children, including regular outings during school holidays. This makes school holidays a fun time which our son really looks forward to.

Dorothy continues to develop new ideas, engages all of her children as well as parents, promotes fairness and can be relied upon to handle all situations in the best way possible.
