Fantastic childminder!
My 3 year old daughter has been going to Bine's since she I returned to work when she was 13 months old. I was apprehensive as I'd never left her with anybody except immediate family but I needn't have worried - she settled right in and absolutely adores the whole family and the pets! She's being raised bilingual so I love the exposure she has to another bilingual family - she's even picked up some German along the way! My daughter loves the wide selection of toys and the creative activities Bine comes up with - she also loves being outdoors so the garden is great all year round and there are frequent visits to the park. My daughter also has several allergies and Bine has always taken these seriously and kept her safe. Communication through the record book is nice but we always have time for a chat at pick up as well to find out what they've been up to and how she's eaten/napped etc. You can tell Bine really cares for the children she minds and they're treated like an extension of the family. I'm so grateful that I can go to work and not spend the time worrying if she's ok. My daughter also recently started pre-school a few days a week and ran off inside confidently without looking back. I'm sure in large part this is due to the foundations laid with Bine over the last couple of years. I'm currently on maternity leave but will leave my 2nd daughter with Bine without hesitation when I do return later this year when she's only 10 months old. Thank you Bine!
