Being a first time mum and knowing that I would be returning back to work full-time, I had the daunting task of finding a Childminder. I went onto childcare.co.uk and a list of 20 Childminders came up, which in one way is great but in another its not, as how do you choose the right one?

Well let me help you..........................Stop looking as you have found her!!!!!

She has been looking after my son for over 2 months. When I collect him he is happy, well fed, interacting with the other children she looks after and then cries as he doesn't want to go home. His development is coming on in leaps and bounds. Since being there he has learnt to crawl and I believe in no time will be walking soon. He is always doing some kind of activity be it swimming, baking, painting or days out.

She helped make the transition of me returning back to work and leaving my son with her easy and so reassuring.

Not only has she welcomed my son into her home but has become a good friend to me in a short space of time and welcomed us both into her life.

I know I am very lucky as I truly do have my very own Mary Poppins and would recommend her to everyone.
