My daughter joined Peaches and Pears when she was 14 months (she is now almost 3) and she absolutely loves it.

It is a family run childminders, and this is reflected in the environment which is warm, welcoming and nurturing. They do lots of stimulating and fun activities with the children both at the house and in the local area including arts and crafts, marking making, park visits and baking.

One of the things I find the most valuable is that each child has a diary where they document what your child has done that day, what they have eaten and if they have slept. They also provide a school pick up service which my son (aged 5) attends a couple of days a week. Being able to have my children in the same childcare setting is not only very helpful in a practical sense, but also means they share more time together.

I would absolutely recommend Peaches and Pears to others.
