When returning to work I knew that we wanted our son to be with Coral. I knew her a little from attending the same playgroups with my son and knew that she was kind and attentive with the children and never seemed to have a bad day! What I hadn’t realised is how professional she also is, how much she goes above and beyond for all the children she is looking after and how much she genuinely cares about them.

Our son hadn’t been in a childcare setting before but settled with Coral so quickly. He was always happy to go to her house and full of enthusiasm for the things he had done that day. Coral always keeps the children busy, taking them out and about to various places.

I really appreciated that Coral provides a home-from-home environment which is safe and friendly. The children in her care make great friendships between each other. We have only stopped using Coral as my work situation has changed but it was a difficult decision! If I ever needed a childminder in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Coral.
