Alison has been caring for our 18 month old daughter for the last 8 months and we couldn't be happier. As she is our first we were understandably very worried about leaving her on my return to work,but Alison made the process so easy and supported us the whole way through-within a week my daughter was waving me goodbye!Alison provides an enriching,homely environment and wonderful opportunities for children in her care and our daughter always comes home with lovely craft items or news of adventures during the day,which as a teacher myself I value greatly. I am completely confident in Alison and the proof is in how happy my little girl is to see her every day and we feel she has flourised socially and developmentally since starting. We feel very lucky to have Alison and her lovely family in our lives and would recommend her wholeheartedly.
