Our daughter started with Lesley at 13 months. We chose a childminder as I wanted a mixture of ages in a homely setting. We immediately felt comfortable with Lesley in her beautiful home with all the space, toys and activities a child could want! We were happy that the children would be out and about each day at different activities, eg mixing with other children at local playgroups or visiting playgrounds and softplays further afield. Our daughter has been to places we had never taken her eg Gorgie Farm and Butterfly World so she has made amazing new memories with Lesley! We feel she has a genuine love for the children in her care, encourages their interests and development, our daughter truly loves spending time with her and we know that she is safe and well looked after. Lesley sends pictures throughout the day so we know what they are getting up to and most of pictures of our daughter that we have around our house have been taken by her...she has a real knack for getting a big smile! Current circumstances meant our daughter did not attend for the past 5 months but she restarted this week and has been very excited. Shes now 2yrs 2m and talks about Lesley's house, being picked up in the car, seeing the other children and what they will do together. Im so glad we chose this setting as it has been a success all round!
