Simply a wonderful Childminder .

Reviewed

Abi is a wonderful Childminder, and I’m very very happy with the care and service she provides.
I’ve been working from home for over a year (which I loved) and I was only given a weeks notice from my embassy to return.
My little one is only 14 months old, I new this day was coming but it’s still a bit of a panic!
I started out by visiting nurseries thinking that this was the answer I don’t have any family in London, but I didn't like them not for my little one anyway she’s to young they all had to many older children charging around, i also found them impersonal, over priced and not at all flexible.
ABI invited me to visit and first impressions her place is amazing, she is very warm patient caring and easy to get on with very relaxed and professional and she explained everything to me and showed me around. Her place is set up just for her child minding she’s converted the ground floor of her house just for this and has a great garden, She has lots and lots of toys, activates, and lots of testimonials from other parents on the wall.
I would have liked to do some settling in but I didn’t have time, my job had offered me unpaid leave but it wasn’t really an option, abi told me not to worry and was very reassuring. So I had viewed her place on Saturday and dropped my little one off the following Monday, abi made everything so easy for me, I know shes probably done this so many times but it’s my first, in fact I realized at this point Lilliana had never been with anyone else away from me. Abi must have realized I was putting a brave face on it because she sent me lots of photos and updates I actually quiet enjoyed my first day back at work, I can say she is very professional at her job, thank you abi !
It’s been a few weeks now and Lilliana has settled in fantastically she doesn’t cry when I drop her off in fact she can,t wait to go in she gets so excited when I pull up outside Abi’s and she’s always content and happy when I pick up, I couldn’t of hopped for more, but there is ! Abi helped me claim the tax back on my childcare. I didn’t even know about it and it’s paying part, Fantastic 😀 it’s saving me quiet a lot of money.
Also just a quick mention abi has some fantastic assistants all very professional, sari, Cora, Amelia and fariba thank you ladies I can tell Lilliana loves being with you and she has made so much progress since being with you guys and I can tell from the pictures abi sends me how fantastic you all are.
I wouldn’t normally write a review but in this case it’s worth it , hand on heart I can’t recommend abi enough, you will not find a better Childminder.
PS Thanks abi for the card Lilliana made for fathers day it was my first one, someone at work mentioned it but it hadn't even crossed my mind let alone expect to get one.
