My little chap has been with Byron now for nearly a year- he first started when he was 11 months old. I can not speak highly enough of Sascha- the setting is fabulous and full of stimulating educational toys and activities. Shannon and Sascha do lots of art and craft, outside play , singing and dancing and imaginative play. As a working mum, its lovely to know that Byron is doing all of the lovely things I would like to be doing with him if I was at home. His talking is great as a result of the time that Sascha has put in. Byron has not always been easy!!!- he has gone through clingy phases with tantrums and general toddler antics. Sascha has handled it all brilliantly; she is consistent and builds in lots of routine so that the little ones know exactly what is expected. Byron's behaviour there is now fantastic and I am constantly asking for advice on how to achieve the same at home!!! Byron is treated just like one of the family and absolutely loves going to see Sascha each morning. As a teacher, I knew I would be fussy when it came to a childminder but I really can't rate her highly enough- the care she has provided for Byron is outstanding. xx
