Noelle has looked after my boy since just after his first birthday - he is nearly nine now and she will continue to look after him until he doesn't require childcare. I chose Noelle to look after my child as I could see her care was that of a mother with extra attention paid to safety. My boy is quietly confident, polite and kind, has great road sense, loves the outdoors and is adventurous - this is how Noelle has made him, she asked me what I wanted from her all those years ago, and this is what I got, I couldn't ask for more. When returning to work you realise that your childminder sees more of your child than you do some weeks - so it's important to chose the right person. I have no regrets whatsoever. My boy loves Noelle and will frequently give her a hug just because.
