Roisin has looked after our daughter since she was 6 months old. Two and half years later and she has become a solid part of our daughter's life and routine and soon our younger daughter will enjoy the same. We reviewed all inspection reports available and were more than pleased with them and to get a space with Roisin when I had to return to work.

Roisin has treated our daughter like one of the family from day one. She has gone above and beyond to show her love and attention, including being a stable childcare presence in our daughter's week while we had a family health crisis.

Our daughter's day involves quality time with Roisin and with other children in her care, who she has grown to love. She has a wonderful mix of outdoor adventures, trips, and normal everyday activities and imaginative play. Her time involves being part of pick up and drops offs for the older children during term time - that helps normalise everyday routines and gives her a peak into her future school life.

We also understand the demands of an underfunded childcare landscape and the pressures work hours places on families - and childminders themselves. Roisin takes these in her stride to offer a quality service to our girl in spite of it all.

Roisin has always been kind, flexible, professional and communicative in her care of and updates on our daughter as. This is exactly the same for any aspects involved in running a caring business including contracts, ensuring updated paperwork, relevant checks, payment cycles, holidays etc. We are thankful to Roisin and her family and would not hesitate to recommend her care.
