I first started looking for a childminder for my daughter when she was approximately 6 weeks old. I scrolled through childcare.co.uk and saw numerous childminders. I read Danielle's information and was intrigued straight away. I thought I can't possibly go with the first childminder I've come across, that would be too good to be true.

If you are a mum or dad and worrying about sending your child to a childminder and wondering if your making the right decision. If you chose Danielle I can hand on heart tell you, it will be the best decision you make.

Danielle had my daughter from 6 months old, for 2 years. When she told us she was moving away we were devastated because we had already planned for our son to attend and for Madeline to continue to go when she started preschool.

Danielle and her family welcomed madeline into their family and hearts as if she was a family member. Madeline had a beautiful relationship with Danielle, and still does. I have never had to worry about dropping her off in a morning, Madeline would run straight in. It was picking her up, I couldn't get her home.

Madeline has come on leaps and bounds and is really advanced for her age, I would love to take the credit for this but most of it was Danielle. The time and attention Danielle gave to Madeline made her into a clever independent child.

Madeline has had many adventures with Danielle that I know I could never have given her myself.
Madeline had a lovely relationship with Danielle's daughters too, they would read books with her and interact. Madeline made special memories throughout the day and Danielle would send pictures and updates.

Danielle was so flexible with us, nothing was too much trouble and this made our lives so much easier especially with work.

Danielle we miss you! We wish you good luck.

I know we will never find a child minder like her again.
