Outstanding Childminder!

I was more than nervous at the thought of moving my husband and 16 month old daughter down to Northampton for a short term contract I had been offered. I was terrified at the thought of sorting childcare for my little one in a new town away from family etc. When I went to see Mrs Bligh (Hayley) I was instantly put at ease and we went through a typical day that my daughter could expect with her as well as all certificates and Oftsed reports that she had
The first day I left Lola, she was a little teary and when I pulled up to work, I got my phone to send a text to see how she was doing and I had one already, telling me how Lola was. All that day, I was able to text and more often than not, I had a text waiting for me, such a reassurance.
Lola has been with Hayley several weeks now and all my family in Yorkshire comment on her rapid development in speech, social skills etc.
What makes me feel good is when we pull up outside the house, Lola is excited to go in and often reaches for Hayley to pick her up. I also get a daily report in a diary for Lola and myself, hubby and grandparents love reading it as we get to know what she has eaten, who she has played with, where she has been and what her favourite toy/book of the day was
Hayley's rates are amazing and I don't even need to provide milk!!
Lola and us will really really miss Hayley when we have to move back to Yorkshire.... THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. Lola was able to settle well due to the great communication between us, as we all want the very best for such a special little girl. I will truly miss Lola and you and your husband when you return to Yorkshire as will my family and all the other children and parents within my setting. We still have four months for lots of fun and learning ahead ( can't wait for Christmas time activities ) but when the time comes I will be very sad to lose Lola, please keep in touch. Hayley x
