Alison looked after my little girl Effie for about 18 months. From the moment I met Alison I knew she was going to be the best childminder for Effie. She was so welcoming and engaging. Her home is like a home away from home. They were always going out on days out and doing lots of different activities. You can tell that Alison really cares for the children in her care. Effie blossomed whilst there and is now such a confident young girl. Effie now goes to nursery but speaks of Alison often and I know we all miss her. For anyone that wants to go to work and know their child is getting well looked after and going on fun adventures, I would recommend Alison 100 percent.
