I'm sure it was a twist of fate that I met Trudie when I was pregnant with our first daughter. She looked after our little girl from 9 months to 2.5 years. She offers a real home away from home childcare experience. She clearly loves her job and all her babies (all her children are her babies!!), and they love her right back. Trudie is very focused on every stage of child development, and sees it as her role to prepare each child for school. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She made a mothers guilt of returning to work so much easier to bear. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If she had a space grab it with both hands, as childminders like Trudie are like gold dust!!
