Anita has looked after my 3 boys since she started working as a child minder when my youngest was about 16 months old. He has always just waved me off when I have left him with Anita. Always happy to go and happy when I pick him up. He loves all the outside activities Anita gives him the opportunity to do. He is 3 now and has thrived going to Anita, with her positive influence he is always happy, very sociable and is so polite too. My other two boys aged 8 and 9 also love going to Anita for before and after school childcare. They used to go to a breakfast club and nagged me to go to Anita. So they do, and they love it and are so settled with her. They enjoy playing and creating before going to school with these opportunities Anita gives them. Anita always has by lively boys under control with her calm but assertive caring way, and they really enjoy going.
As well as the children enjoying going to Anita, I feel her warmth, welcoming, upbeat personality comforting. Making me feel at ease to leave my children with her. She is very adaptable in the way she cares for the children making it easy to approach her when I have asked her to drop the children off at my house or at a more convenient place for me. I strongly feel my children would not be half as happy or as safe with any one childcare provider.
