My daughter Isla has been with JuliAnn and Keith since i returned to work just after her first birthday. I was very apprehensive about leaving my little girl but on meeting Juliann and Keith my mind was put completely at ease. They are a very warm, kind and caring couple, who have been in the childminding business for many years. Their love for the job and the children they care for shines out of them both. Their house is structured around the children and being child friendly, on entering the house all the children have their own coat and bag peg, their own drawer for everything they need. The kitchen is filled with boxes of toys for children of all ages (including educational toys), they also do Arts & Crafts and bake with the children.

The garden is extremely child friendly with loads of areas for them to play in and they have cars and other things for occupy them. They make a big effort to interact with the children and play games everyday and the children all seem to get on and play together really nicely. My daughter always comes home happy and talks constantly about the children shes played with and loves them both. They have a very structured routine which seems to work really well for all the children they look after.

My daughter has quite a healthy appetite and has breakfast and lunch at the childminders. They have a healthy breakfast and a proper cooked meal for lunch everyday. She also receives healthy snacks when needed mid morning and mid afternoon. My daughter seems to love the food she is given and im very happy with the thought and effort that goes into her meals. My daughter will be leaving Juliann and Keith soon as I am due to have another baby and will be home to look after her myself. I know that she will miss them and I will not hesitate on choosing them to have my son when that day arrives.
