My wife and I were looking for a childminder on an ad-hoc basis so we could occasionally go out for date nights. Cotema was very easy to communicate with and always responded to messages promptly, which made arranging everything straightforward.

When I visited her home, she was very friendly and reassuring, which immediately made us feel comfortable. Her place was tidy and well set up for children, with plenty of toys, games and activities available. It was clear that she is very experienced in looking after kids and that children feel comfortable in her home.

Our six-year-old son stayed with her until late in the evening and had a great time. In fact, he didn’t want to leave and said he would like to come back again.

I would definitely recommend Cotema as a childminder, and we will certainly be choosing her again in the future.
