My Requirements
We're currently in the process of moving to Ipswich and will most likely move early May. We will then need full time childcare for my 1.5 year old son and 4 year old daughter until September, where they will start school and nursery. If full time not available I'm also open to talk to someone who has a different availability.
I'm hoping to get a nanny or childminder for both of them - with a nanny we could look at continuing for after school care from September if this is wanted.

Liz looked after my little boy when I went back to work when he was only 10 months - having worked with Childminders in the area for my other two kids before I knew I really wanted a home from home setting. Which is something I immediately felt when I first visited Liz at her home and met her lovely two girls!
My boy only spent 7 months in her care as unfortunately we moved out of the area but we still miss her immensely and wish we could have taken her with us!! He was always extremely happy going to her, at drop off he went in with his arms raised, wanting a cuddle from Liz :) I loved that she took him to local play groups, the library parks but also spent quality time with him at home. All was very well documented and I received updates of his day via Whatsapp most days.
As a full-time working parent, I also very much appreciated Liz's flexibility and communication - whenever we needed an extra day out of our contract, extra days during school holiday, occasionally swapping a day or when she offered to drop him home to me instead of me having to get him on occasion (as she knew I am not driving, it was extremely helpful and thoughtful)
I'm still extremely sad we've had to say goodbye to Liz but I wish her all the best for the future :)

I tend to never write reviews (too lazy) but I just have to write one for Anita :) We couldn't have found a nicer, more loving childminder who genuinely cares about the children that she looks after. Both of my girls went to Anita for almost 2 years and the adored going to her - they even called her "Nanny" by the end!
On top of that, we as parents, appreciated Anita's quick help and flexibility whenever we needed it - you had the feeling she cared about you as parents as much as the children. Thank you Anita :)
