A second home for our children

Val has looked after both our daughters, so we've been with her for around 3 years now. Our children have loved going to Val's, and my youngest who first went to Val about 6 months ago has settled so well - she doesn't even seem to miss me!
Val offers such a caring environment for children, and they do so much fun stuff - trips to toddler groups, soft play, painting, playing outside, singing and dancing etc. Val's daughter, Lauren, works with her too, and the children adore her. She's clearly great at interacting with them and they have so much fun with her.
I feel so lucky that we found Val when we moved to the area. It's so reassuring to know that my children are going to a happy, fun, safe home for the day while I'm at work.

Brilliant childminder

Row started looking after our daughter when she had just turned one. As a first time mum I was a bit anxious about leaving my baby with someone else, and my daughter was also quite clingy to me and didn't generally warm to people quickly! However, she loved Row straight away and settled quickly there. She was always happy and I couldn't fault Row for her caring nature - I still haven't seen my daughter as comfortable with anyone who isn't her parent! I highly recommend Row as a childminder.
