Val is a FANTASTIC childminder. We have been lucky enough to work with her for 3 years now and I really don't know what we'd do without her.

She provides an exciting and stimulating environment with a home from home atmosphere. Both my children, 1year old and 3 years old, love going to Val's. The purpose built children's rooms and garden are the perfect places for little ones to explore and learn while having a brilliant time. It's not unusual for my children to want to stay longer when I go to pick them up.

They regularly attend local children's groups; take part in lots of arts and crafts projects and in the holidays go on fun days out.

Val is incredibly adaptable and looks after the emotional, social and learning needs of all the children in her care to the very highest standard.

I can't recommend Val highly enough.
