Absolutely amazing childminder!
My girl, now 28 months old, has been going to Dawn's since she's turned 1. I was very sceptical towards childminders before she started with Dawn, hence we had her in nursery one day a week and four days at Dawn's (as the nursery just wasn't flexible at all with their timings). After a few months we noticed though, that our girl got way, WAY more out of being with Dawn, than being at the nursery (a very well known and well regarded nursery that was, too). Dawn just manages to do so much with the kids. She's got a little group, so the children have the interaction with other children (our girl especially loves being with younger ones, to care for them, older ones, to learn from them, and same aged ones, to be mischievous with), but has enough time to give every child special attention, too. Not that I at all think my girl needs special attention, but at nursery she was one of 30 and there they really couldn't go out as much or focus on one child as much as Dawn can and does. After only a few months we took our girl out of nursery and ever since she's with Dawn every day. She is developing fantastically and is just loving, going to Dawn's. I can honestly not recommend Dawn enough!
