My son has been going to this childminder, full time, since he was approximately 17 months old. He is now nearly 3yrs old. Cherie is a very caring, understanding and trustworthy childminder and I would highly recommend her.
My son loves going to her and is always greeted with a very warm welcome and a friendly smile.
Cherie always has plenty of activities out for the children she minds. She encourages the children, age appropriate, to discover new skills and bring out the childs natural talents. They have story time and song/music time.
Cherie often takes the children out to the park or to playgroups to encourage the children to explore new sounds etc and mix with other children.
The snacks she provides the children are always healthy and varied - except on any of the childrens Birthdays, then it's party food time :-)
There is always a drink available (water) on the side for the children to help themselves to, or Cherie encourages the children to drink if they forget!
I would not entrust the care of my son with any other childminder - Cherie is truely the best childminder you could wish for for your child.
