Highly recommended childminder
Charlotte has been a fantastic childminder to our daughter and we feel very lucky to have been introduced to her when our daughter was still a baby. From day 1, Charlotte demonstrated her expertise in professional childcare. She organises activities that are adjusted to our daughter’s age and current skills. She monitors our daughter’s development and encourages her to practise newly learnt skills as well as gradually introduces those from the next development stage. Charlotte supported our daughter at all the important stages of her development, when she started walking, during the weaning, potty training, as well as later in her pre-school age as she is starting to read and write. The setting has been appropriately adjusted to each stage.
Charlotte encourages learning via a variety of games, songs, readings, or indoor and outdoor play activities. Our daughter absolutely loves the summer house as well as all the play area in the garden. Our daughter is bi-lingual and so it was great to see when Charlotte created a long list of flash cards and helped our daughter say the words in the second language.
While taking care of our child’s cognitive development, most importantly, Charlotte creates an environment in her house where our daughter feels happy and safe. For us as parents this is our top priority and to know that our daughter is given such care puts our mind at rest while we're busy at work. Charlotte and our daughter have gotten to know each other well and I notice a lovely bond that grew between them.
Lastly, all the family members at Charlotte house including the lovely animals have become our daughter’s friends. She knows them all by name and when we're at home she tells me what everyone was up to and how they spent their days. It's nice and reassuring to see our daughter feels at home with Charlotte's family which I think contributes even more to creating a positive and safe environment in which she can continue to grow emotionally, as well as intellectually. I completely recommend Charlotte.
