Amber has looked after our 4yo in her family-run childminders for over 2 years. During this time, we felt confident that Amber always listened and paid attention to our daughter's feelings and emotions, undoubtedly making her an excellent carer and companion throughout the day. The facilities and day-to-day activities offered were just as we wanted with lots of time spent outside in the garden or nearby allotment, and a good mix of organised crafts, games and free-play activities. Amber always has a very pleasant and reassuring approach at drop-offs and evening pick-ups, which really helped especially during the settling-in period. We feel Amber and her family have made an important contribution to our daughters' development.
