I started looking for a childminder in June to cover the summer break, as my regular childminder did not work term time. From the minute I got into Leigh's house I could feel she was the person I have always been looking for. She has been an absolute star with my twin boys, aged 8 months at the time of their first visit. She takes them out for walks in the park, takes them to feed the horses or ducks, plays with them at home with toys suited their age, cuddles them when sad, and most importantly, she knows that sticking to a routine is of upmost importance and she therefore ensures they have a proper morning and lunch nap. As she has my two young ones, Leigh's lovely mum is always there to help. When I go to pick up my boys, they are smiley chaps, are well rested and you can tell they have had a great time. In the end my boys stayed with Leigh after summer break and sadly their time is coming to an end as I go back to work and they'll go to nursery but I am grateful for her excellent care and the friendship we've build will not end here.
