Calm and caring!

My son started with Louise recently after the childminder he had been with for 3 years moved away.
She's been so calm and reassuring providing a smooth transition for him (and us as parents!)
So far he has done so much: trips to Willows, different playgrounds, the allotment. Plus loads of opportunities for imaginative and creative play. I've seen him absolutely blossom with new skills and confidence in things he hadn't done before.

It's clear that the children are the absolute centre of what Louise does. Couldn't be happier!

5 stars is not enough!

Kristina is family orientated, child-led, thoughtful and knowledgeable.
If you're worried about leaving your child at any age (mine started at 5 months) then Kristina is the childminder for you.
She works directly with all parents to create continuity. If my son is struggling with something we work together to be consistent with him. If my son is really excelling at something she tailors activities to engage him and gives amazing tips for things we can do at home. On top of providing home cooked meals, teaching them to bake, arts and crafts (my walls have no space left!), taking them on trips, providing us with development updates, teaching them life skills! I honestly don't know how she does it all!
She is the most thoughtful and holistic provider and has a compassionate, open and straightforward approach which means we feel completely safe and happy.
And, best reviewer of whether your child will love it there? My son sings songs about going to "Stina's House" and frequently asks to go at the weekends too!!
