I looked at lots of childminders and nurseries and when I found Pat I knew we had the right place. The setting is brilliant with an open plan play area leading straight onto the large garden. Pat takes the children to lots of different playgroups, music groups and parks so they are always busy. Although my daughter has had issues being without me, Pat has worked really hard to make her feel happy and helped her settle. She is really approachable and friendly and I would definitely recommend her setting to others. My daughter has been there for 5 months now, 3 days a week and i'm sure she will really miss Pat and the other children when she is bigger and leaves to go to nursery/ school.
