Our little boy has been with Leigh since he was 10 months old and I do not have enough words to express how wonderful his time with her has been. We are moving away from the area and leaving Leigh behind has been the single biggest decision that we have had to make as part of our move. I cannot recommend her highly enough but here are a few of the highlights:

- Lovely home and fantastic garden (climbing frame, sandpit, water play)
- Lots of outings (parks, farms, library, playgroups)
- Fun activities (baking, arts and crafts)
- Lots of cuddles and laughs
- As a teacher, Leigh is great at spotting the development areas for focus and finding ways to encourage the children in her care
- She has a lovely way when the children are playing up and is firm but fair
- Home cooked food full of fresh ingredients - the same as I'd give him at home (and the same as Leigh is feeding her own kids!)
- Great communication via daily diary and a catch up at drop off and pick up
- Flexible and accommodating to working parents

All of the children in Leigh's care seem happy and always like they are having fun. She has been like a second mum to our little boy and I genuinely believe her when she says that she loves him like one of her own.

Thank you to Leigh and to anyone looking for a childminder in the area, do not hesitate to consider Leigh
