My 2 daughters went to Anne Marie when they were 11 months old. Like many new mums I was nervous to hand them over to a stranger at first. Soon though, I was very impressed with how Anne Marie looked after them. She is kind and caring, nurturing and supportive. As a parent I felt like my children were always safe and valued and receiving the best of care with Anne Marie. Nothing was too much trouble and she is always careful to check for our approval before starting something new. We loved her creativity and finding new ways to teach the girls skills as they grew. I appreciated her support and guidance at each new stage such as potty training and starting school and her flexible approach as she always tried to accommodate the parent’s preferences. Anne Marie became part of the family and although we have moved away, the children talk about her often and remember the places they went to and the activities they did with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anne Marie as a childminder to a parent who wants a caring and experienced person with a kind heart to take care of their child.
