I left my 5 year old son with Bal for 1 day. It was the first time i have ever used a child minder so i was quite nervous with what to expect and how my son would settle. My son had been going to nursery since he was 2 years old, so was familiar with the routine of me going to work and him going to nursery, school, holiday clubs etc, however he had never experienced staying with a child minder. My son did get a bit teary and upset a couple of times, however Bal did really well with reassuring and entertaining him. Bal has a beautiful home and the downstairs has been converted into a child orientated and safe zone with a homely feel. I didn't get to have a physical tour due to covid, but i did get to have a virtual tour. Bal sent me pictures of my son during the day which was lovely. She also catered for my sons dietary requirements. She ensured he had no allergies and provided him with a vegetarian diet and snacks during the day. Bal is very warm and happy individual, she is always smiling!
