I was very nervous about leaving my daughter with a childminder, but in March 2012 she started with Apple Tree childminding at the age of 10 months and has been there ever since.

Cheryl and Tory provide excellent care for the children and ensure they are fully involved in activities in the area from toddler groups to days out in the city or trips to the zoo. The food is varied and nutritious and the children are encouraged to try new things.

My daughter has progressed extremely well and is very sociable, confident and keen to learn - I feel this is owed to her fantastic care from Cheryl and Tory.

I would highly recommend Apple Tree Childminding to any parent considering care for their child - you will receive an exceptional service.
