When we weren't able to find a place at a nursery, a friend of ours suggested a childminder and we stumbled across Alice, and I feel so lucky to have done so!

Our son loves Alice (and her daughter, and her cat!) and he's thrived under her care. He can't run into the house quick enough when I drop him off in the mornings!

As a parent I've felt completely at ease when my son's with Alice and this is partly due to the way Alice communicates. We get daily updates, photos and videos of what he's been up to and how he's been - so we never feel like we miss a moment.

We are relocating soon, which means we will need to find alternative childcare and I'm gutted about that. We want to take Alice with us!

I could write much more - but ultimately I would wholeheartedly recommend Alice and I can't speak highly enough of her and how she's taken care of my son.
