Lovely, friendly Childminder.

Reviewed

We started sending our little girl to Barbie in Sep 2013, as I went back to work. Barbie is a bubbly, friendly and a warm childminder and instantly made us feel at ease. She interacted with our daughter as soon as we met and our daughter was happy playing with Barbies toys within the first 5 minutes of meeting her. It was really hard going back to work after having 3 years off and Barbie made this transition so much easier for me.

They never having a boring day, there always doing something fun and different...either at the park, one of the play groups (my daughter loves the one with the ball pool), the library, super fun days out at Odds farm. Barbie has other childminders over or she goes over there so the children get to play with one another and with different toys. Barbie has a lovely selection of toys and a lovely garden, Her home is lovely and a real home from home enviourment. My daughter loves having nap time at Barbies and story time. Barbie loans out books from the locally library and the children get to take it in turn to bring them home.

They always do arts and crafts especially on special occasions, and my little girl talks about everyone she met in the day and everything she has done.

When ever my daughter is having an "eat you out of house and home moment" Barbie always gives her healthy snacks when she has finsihed what we have packed for her. It's all the small things barbie does that really matters too she sends me lovely updates throughout the day and pictures so I know where my little girl is what she has been up to, which really brightens up my day when im stuck in a meeting.

Unfortunatly our little girl won't be able to stay with Barbie come Sep 2014 as she is off to a school that is not at Barbies current picks ups, and even though this is the case Barbie has been trying to help us find someone, and she has been thinking of alternatives to help us, if we would continue having Barbie as our daughters childminder we would....:) We have been so lucky to have found her.
