As a first time mother the prospect of returning to work after a year out was daunting enough without the worry of finding somebody that I could trust enough to look after my blue eyed boy.

From the first moment I stepped into Nina’s home until now (nearly 3 years on) I know without a doubt that we couldn’t have asked for more from our son’s childminder.

Finley adores Nina and her family, he has learned so much in such a short time and continues to bloom in her care. This is why he will continue his wrap round care with Nina when he starts nursery full time in January.
