I write this review with two hats on, both as a mother and a professional working as a senior clinician in children’s mental health services.

As a first time mum, I was apprehensive about starting my journey to look for childcare support for our toddler son. I booked to meet Antoinette for an interview, having met with other individuals from this site, and the quality of care Antoinette provides gave her the real edge.

She immediately bonded with our son, and I noted her careful care and attention to supporting his needs from a developmental and wellbeing perspective. Indeed, she is skilled in shaping behaviour, applying boundaries and using a strengths based approach which is fun and interactive for children.

From a professional perspective, safeguarding is a high priority. I am assured that our son is safe with Antoinette and she has demonstrated an in depth knowledge of protective care.

Antoinette has been very reliable and has developed a very good rapport with our son. I look forward to continuing working with her and would highly recommend.
