Christine is a really outstanding child minder she looked after my son for around two years while at infant school and was very supportive when we were going through the process of diagnosis for ADHD& AUTISM for our son both Christine and her partner helped us in anyway they could and even took the time to sit and go through his homework so he understood what he had to do .
Christine has always been there to give advice if we've needed it even after our son left her care .
WE CANT THANK HER ENOUGH
