when i decided to start a course at uni, my biggest worry was childcare. k is first child and as at that point, had not left the home environment. so at 6 months, i was really worried at leaving her with someone who was not i or her dad. we originally planned to put her in nursery but for some reason, i was not confident with that decision. so we opted for a minder instead.

we were at ease from that moment we saw julie. being that k was only 6 months, she took a very long time to settle in but julie had the patience of a saint. when she finally settled, she loved going there and would cry during the holidays when she didn't have to go to julies.

what i liked about julie was that she was firm with the children and yet loving. k was a very shy child she managed to encourage her to speak more. her children are also accommodating. i also liked the way all the children in her care interacted with each other. from the older ones to the younger ones - they all played together and were nice to one another.

I would absolutely recommend julie to anyone considering childcare. I would also like to thank her very much on behalf of myself and my k. k still cries every morning because she wants to go to julies house and not nursery. xx
