Our current childminder was going on leave for 5 weeks so we needed to find a temporary childminder for our 3 year old. As soon as we met Monique we knew she was going to be wonderful with our daughter. She immediately bonded with her and played with her. She had so many fun toys and activities for our daughter to do.

During the time our daughter has been with Monique she has absolutely thrived. Her confidence has improved, her communication skills have flourished, her logic and art skills have gotten so much better, her concentration, and she's just so happy at the end of every day there. Monique does lots of practical and hands on activities with the children so whilst they're learning they're also having so much fun. Our daughter brings home numerous arts and crafts projects that they've worked on and shes so proud, its lovely to see. They play games, do puzzles, dress up, paint, go to the park and splash pool, go for walks - and so much more!

One key thing I love about Monique is the affection she shows for the children in her care. Shes so loving and she has treated our daughter like one of her own which is priceless for us. Our daughter absolutely loves her to bits.

Monique has always been really open and honest with us about our daughters progression and has highlighted to us any challenges that have arisen. We also receive a progress report at the end of each day which is such a nice touch. We also receive photos throughout the day which is so lovely as its nice to see what they are up to.

I really couldn't recommend Monique enough, she is an absolute Godsend.
