Kirsteen has been Max's Childminder for just a few months now, but in that short space of time he has thrived in her care. He has become more confident and is learning new skills daily. He has been toilet-trained, learnt to dress/undress himself and is saying new words every day. He is extreemely happy and content in Kirsteen's family home, and when my partner picked him up one day, he commented that Max looked like a member of their family sat at the table eathing his dinner. I would highly recommend Kirsteen as a childminder - she is kind, patient and always happy to discuss any needs/concerns as soon as they arise with diplomacy and genuine concern. Definitely one of the best childminders I've encountered. I felt I could trust her at once and now consider her to be a friend.
