I have two children with Val and they've now been with her for nearly two years. She runs an excellent childminding service offering stimulating and wide ranging activities for them in a home environment. The boys thoroughly enjoy their time there and they thrive on the mixture of fun activities and play; educational activities with numeracy and literacy focuses; and singing and storytelling. The number of children she has is a perfect balance between friends for the boys to play with but small enough for creative and learning activities. I also like her strong focus on manners and good behaviour as well as teaching the children to be considerate of others. She has been a real find for us all.
