Nell has been my child-minder since my son has been six month old. He is now 3.5 years old and is very sociable, bright and confident which Nell has played a big part in,i couldn't ask for better!.
He has a good varied diet, which again i feel Nell has played a part in achieving due to the wholesome, fresh varied diet she provides for the children ( meals and snacks )
He always enjoys going and i can tell he enjoys all the various activities Nell does with the children in her care, which include daily groups, special outings eg farms, woodland walks, going swimming and seasonal activities
Nell undertakes various other activities with the children eg cooking and crafts.
Nell has fully supported me with helping my son with potty training and using his dummy less which has been brilliant!
My son now attends main stream nursery for two days a week but still goes to Nell's for the rest of the week, Nell was brilliant and very supportive in my sons transition and liaised with nursery and visiting it for herself so they could provide a seamless learning experience for my son.
i work full time and Nell is always flexible when required and in emergency situations which again is very beneficial, Nell always gives ample notice if she is taking a holiday or requires time off and will offer her help and recommendations if childcare is required to cover any of her holidays. Nell always records a daily diary and completes a progress book which includes pictures of activities and developmental stages that my son has achieved.
All in all Nell is great, my son loves her and i know he is happy and settled with Nell, her daughter and husband. i have never had any concerns with the great care that she provides and would highly recommended.
