Francine is the most wonderful childminder you could ever hope for. She looked after our daughter Cassie for 18 months and we wish it could have been longer. Sadly we moved house so had to say goodbye and my partner and I were just as bereft as Cassie to leave!

Francine is like no other, we are in awe of her energy and her positive attitude. She always has something fun planned for the children and they all completely and utterly adore her. Cassie learnt so much from her time with Francine, and made so many new friends. It really was the perfect setting for her, especially starting at a young age.

Francine makes such a huge effort to plan a variety of activities, from days out to playgroups and trips to the farm. Her house is well equipped with plenty of things to do for the children, she has an amazing garden and lots of books and toys.

Francine always kept communication open and updated us regularly with how Cassie was doing, sharing photos of her day and what she had been up to, which was really important to us, especially at the start as she was settling in.

We could not recommend Francine more, our whole family love her so much!
