Linda has had my daughter from 5 years old then my two sons both from when I returned to work when they each turned 6 months. She has been a big part of their lives and now 11 years on I couldn't be without her!

As a Headteacher, Education and care is the forefront of what I do, so obviously I want the very best for my three children and know what areas to look for and the type of person who is able to do this job with efficiency, care and success - this is Linda.

The children have loved the activities she provides and especially enjoy the garden!

When we need emergency cover, due to sudden meetings or have been caught up at work, she is always totally flexible and helps us work round these problems whenever she can.

Next year will be my youngest son's final year with Linda and we will be sorry to say goodbye!
