Hazel cared for our son for three years, from when he was 12 months old until his fourth birthday. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Hazel creates a true home-from-home environment and genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after. Our son would mention Hazel in the same conversations as his grandparents, which shows just how much he saw her as an extension of our family.Hazel provides a wonderful setting, with plenty of toys, educational activities, and a large, lovely garden. She also regularly organised outings and trips, which our son would always come home excitedly telling us about. She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which was incredibly helpful for our family, and she consistently provided nutritious meals that our son thoroughly enjoyed.Hazel's wealth of experience was invaluable to us. She supported us through potty training and was also the first person to notice that our son may have a hearing issue, something we had not recognised ourselves. Following her recommendation, he was tested and diagnosed with glue ear, which could easily have gone unnoticed for much longer otherwise.It is clear that Hazel genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in the care she provides every day. We couldn't have asked for a better childminder and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and highly experienced childcare professional.
