When I searched for a childminder a year ago and met Noemi I've already knew during the inerview, that I've found the perfect one for my children.

Noemi looks after my sons (y7 and y10) not only with her professional attitude and lots of experience but always seems kind, calm and patient with them, which makes me relaxed.She also keeps excellent communication with me regarding timing and necessary updates, which makes our parent-childminder relationship very easy, reliable and friendly.

Noemi's home is welcoming, clean and well organised and the boys have great fun reading books, playing with all the toys available, and with the other children in her care. She provides a wide, fun range of activities, has lots of ideas how to entertain children in a fun, but educational way.

My sons are always happy to stay with her and enjoy all her fun activities and her special Spanish lessons. As my children are already at primary and junior school Noemi's extending teaching experience is a great advantage for me, because my children's homework are always done during her childminding and she supervises their independent work.

When my children step outside their boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which they understands. When they feel under the weather I know that they feel happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure their health and safety.

Noemi is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my sons confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.

I am also aware that Noemi ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.

When my sons stayed with Noemi for all day during half term, she completed daily diary detailing what they have done each day. From this I have a complete picture of their whole day including what they have eaten, and all their activities. This helps me to feel involved with their care and that I can talk to them about their day in childcare.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my children receive and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping them develop into a confident and self assured children.

I would absolutely recommend Noemi as a great and reliable childminder.
