My 8month old son is just about to start. From the moment i walked in i was welcomed. My son for the first time out of home sat a play with them and the toys and didnt cling to me. He didnt even cry when i left the room. Its a lovely family environment with lots on offer for all ages.
I am very happy to be leaving my son with them and after meeting many childminders i can safely say i wont be panicking now when i have to leave him in their care.
