Chris had looked after my daughter since she was 13months old when I went back to work. She was a clingy baby and I was nervous about leaving her. M settled in really well and I felt secure in leaving her. M has been with Chris since Nov 2012 and leaves July 2015 as she will be going to school. Chris is an active childminder and has a well planned out week. Typically falmer palmers, the library (weekly group which M had received certificates and books), parks and groups. She has a dedicated "main" room in her bungalow with lots of bright colourings, games, weather charts and topics. Secure garden with outdoor games also. I feel Chris also offers value for money as she provides snacks and lunch. She's also worked with M preschool to keep information consistent and up to date. M had made some lovely friends whilst being with Chris and built up a good relationship with her too that I'm sure it's going to hard to leave next month. I would fully recommend Chris in an instant.
