Christine looked after my daughter since she was 10 months old for 2 days each week and I have been extremely happy with the care she received and the great progress she made whilst with Christine. Christines home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Molly had great fun playing with all the toys and activities available. My daughter especially enjoyed creative tasks such as drawing and painting and has made me some wonderful pieces that I will always treasure.

Christine is fantastic at encouraging good behaviour, manners and kindness to others, skills which are important to us at home and her warm and friendly but no nonsense approach really sets her apart. She provides healthy, homemade food and snacks each day and Molly always ate better here than she did for me.

All in all I am really happy with the level of care Molly received and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment has helped her to develop into a confident little girl and made the step up to nursery much easier.

I would absolutely recommend Christine as a wonderful childminder. She has so much experience and always had good advice or ideas of things to try at home if I was struggling with issues such as sleep, eating and potty training but over all my daughter loved going to see Christine and still asks to visit her now.
