I went back to work at 6 months and felt terribly sad about leaving my daughter to go back to work. I immediately felt that my daughter would be happy in Corinne's care and she stayed with Corinne until she was old enough to go to pre- school. She got immense enjoyment of the time she spent at Corinne's and felt at home there. She adored Corinne's daughters who made her feel like part of their family and were extremely welcoming to children Corinne was looking after. I feel my daughter excelled in Corinne's care and was hitting targets above her age when she left as well as feeling very happy and at home there. My daughter used to do fantastic artwork, sensory activities and lots of outdoor activities which Corinne clearly encouraged her and supported her through her learning journey. Everyday she had a very clear and detailed diary of what my daughter had been up to as well as truly memorable photos of her that we will treasure.
My daughter unfortunately started to suffer with her asthma as she turned one and Corinne was able to amend her activities depending on how she was and helped her with her inhalers. I was always confident that Corinne would pick up on when My daughter was not well and would always promptly contact me and I felt she was safe in her care. She gave her quiet time and cuddles when she needed them but also disciplined her when she misbehaved. Corinne was a very useful source for parenting advice and I learnt lots from her.
Corinne was flexible and was able to help when she could for extra sessions or if we knew we might be late. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder. My daughter felt very happy and safe there and Corinne helped her grow up into the daughter she is now.
