Rhys has been providing part time childcare for my eldest daughter since November 2014 when she was 2 years and 4 months.

We have found Rhys to be a godsend; he is incredibly punctual, reliable and flexible. His deep understanding of child psychology has helped us overcome several problems including extreme shyness and anxiety in our daughter which culminated in a stutter. He has also been instrumental in helping us prepare for the arrival of her baby sister in June 2016.

Rhys has spent a lot of time helping develop her confidence. He has also taught her how to write her name as well as phonics so she is well prepared for starting reception in September 2016.

One of the things I most admire about Rhys is his ability to connect with children. He is extremely kind but firm with them and has an amazing way of communicating with them. He never raises his voice or belittles anyone yet the children always do as he asks and never disobey him!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rhys and will continue using him for both my daughters in the future.
