Previous today last review, our little boy stayed with Julie for 7 months before our circumstances changed and he had to move on.

Julie is a FANTASTIC childminder. Our son would wriggle with excitement even in the car pulling up to her house.

He learnt to walk during his time at Julie's which was wonderful and it was clear Julie's support he really flourished in all areas of development. Even though our boy was under 18 months Julie involved him in all activities, painting, crafts, song time etc, so lovely to receive little homemade gifts and have a happy child to pick up having had such fun!!!

Julie's professionalism and communication were second to none. We have a wonderful diary full of what our baby was up to every day. It was a great way to know what he had eaten, been up to etc. Julie would sometimes put photos of our baby in there too. A real treat to see him having such a nice time. Julie is organised and methodical, so reassuring and kind.

Julie is naturally considerate and it was very clear to my husband and I that our son was very well cared for and loved when with Julie.

We can't thank her enough for her care, we miss her hugely! I would recommend her to anyone with great confidence.
