Scarlet has been childminder to my three children for the past 3 years. Scarlet, along with her family, has become a significant part of our family life and without her, it just wouldn't have been the same.
I fully trust Scarlet to look after the children and I know it is not easy for kids with allergies to always find someone who has an awareness of this and other medical needs. We have never had any problems while in their care with Scarlet.
She has been a great asset to my children's emotional, physical and educational development providing structure as well as room to explore and be creative. She frequently updates on TapestryJournal and shares progress and pictures on here.
Scarlet is very well organised (thank goodness as I am not!) and always has any paperwork prepared as well as relating any messages which might have been passed home from school. Her setting is clean and tidy with room for the children to play and do other activities. She also has a garden where the children love to go in the warmer weather. Scarlet had a dog now and I was a little worried my very allergic - to - everything daughter would react but I can reassure that there has not been any problem whatsoever and he is a gorgeous pup who loves the kids as they do he.
The children have breakfast and tea at her setting so I am rest assured they are fed an watered when I get home from work. This is a huge benefit to me.
There have been times when I have asked Scarlet at short notice to have the children and she has been very flexible and accommodating.
Sadly, we are moving away from the area shortly and Scarlet with very much be missed as will her family. I could not have asked for a more caring, considerate and organised minder for my children and wish I could take her with me!
