An absolute gem of a childminder

Trista offers a consistently warm, nurturing, stimulating and safe second home for my daughter and as a caregiver, she is unwaveringly patient, firm, kind and reliable. The children get along well, Trista's daughter is really sweet and nurturing to the little ones, following her mum's example.
Not only is there a range of games, creative tasks, toys, reading, role play, baking, water and paddling pool on hot days etc (so much more) for the lucky littluns at the house, but they're often out to a park, library, gym class... Occasionally a farm, museum, gallery or the Space Centre - she goes above and beyond to offer them a balanced range of early learning experiences. The woman has a background in early years education and culinary school (+probably a lot more) - what an absolute treasure of a combination in a childminder! I think how lucky my girl is to have Trista care for her and help her learn - she has made so much progress since joining her. Communication is excellent, she is really careful with the kids and responsive to their needs and small changes in them.
It's nice to gush like this here because I can't with friends with small children in nursery or with other childminders, as from what I hear, none of their experiences comes close to what my girl gets with Trista 💎
