My son has been in her care for two years, and the progress he has made under her guidance has been incredible. She has created such a warm and supportive environment where he has grown in confidence, independence, and curiosity.

One of the many things we are grateful for is how she encouraged him with sensory play. It was never something he naturally gravitated towards, but through her patience and creativity he now enjoys it, a skill that has helped his development in so many other areas too.

Elaine has a real gift for balancing fun with learning. From outings to the zoo and park to creative activities, she has supported his social, emotional, and cognitive growth every step of the way. Her thoughtful updates always reassured me that he was thriving in her care.

We are so thankful for the love, dedication, and support Elaine has shown. She is very experienced and has been an important part of my son’s early years, and we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder.
