**FIVE Star Childminder**
Bernadette has been looking after my son since he was around 10/11 months old late 2012.
Honestly I can vouch for the quality of service she gives. She is more than a childminder, the love and care and nurture she gives to my son and extends to other children in her care is second to none. She is like a second mum.
I leave my son in her care and my mind is always at rest, she knows what she is doing and she is always surprising me with her wealth of knowledge.
She is qualified in more ways than one.
if awards were given for 5 star childcare and nanny services, Bernadette would be front running.
My now 16 month old son adores her and he has developed so much in her care, encouraging him at every stage from crawling, feeding himself to help walking.
She takes him to the parks during warm seasons and they do messy play at home during colder seasons. She keeps pictures and records for the mum and is always ready to tell me what his day has been like.
She would often have him at the weekend (Saturday night) for me to go out even after she has looked after him all week while I am at work.
As a Law graduate working in the fast paced & demanding career of Investment Banking in the City, I craved a childminder that wasn't too sticky on timing and who had a lot of understanding and was flexible, would go the extra mile and who also loved my little boy as much as I did. That was a huge ask, but thank God Bernadette is all of that, she is worth her weight in GOLD.
She LOVES the children so much and has so much love to give and they give her so much joy and love in return. They all call her 'Auntie B' affectionately.
If you try Bernadette you won't regret it x
