Maya was 12 months old when Andree started to look after her. As a first time mum I was terrified and remember messaging Andree every hour during the first day to ask how Maya was. Andree sent me pictures and reassured me every step of the way which I was extremely thankful for. I have complete trust and confidence in her.

Andree is experienced, extremely professional, consistent, trustworthy and treats children in her care as they were her own. My daughter has lots of fun and talks about Andree and her family all the time. Andree gives detailed feedback every day when I pick up Maya and will let me know of any concerns (if any) during the day. As an experienced mum herself, Andree gives good tips and advice which I have always appreciated.

Contrary to the feedback below, Andree has always been a good communicator with us. If I ask for a picture to see my little girl Andree is happy to send me one or 4! And we get loads of pictures every month that have nothing to do with payments.

Maya is very happy in Andree’s care and is excited about going to Andree’s every morning. I know Maya is looked after well and loved which is what every mum and dad is looking for in a childminder. Maya has achieved all her milestones, which I was slightly worried about as she is bi-lingual, and it is truly noticeable how much she learns in Andree’s care.

As we are moving away, we had to find a nursery closer to our new home and I am saddened about taking Maya away from Andree’s care. I got emotional when I told Andree our new arrangements and feel a little nervous about whether Maya will adapt to nursery as well as she did with Andree. No doubt Maya will be asking for Andree when nursery starts. I hope we can swing by sometimes or go to a park together as I know this would make Maya very happy.

I cannot recommend Andree more. She provides your child a home away from home.
