I have an 18 month old daughter who is looked after by Barbara. She has been our childminder for over 8 months now and from day one Charlotte loved her! We get a regular chorus of 'Barbie Barbie Barbie' when we get up in a morning and Charlotte loves being with her.

Barbara's own two children are lovely and Charlotte adores them. As soon as she sees Jamie in a morning she follows him round whilst he gets ready for school.

We have a little diary that Barbara writes in every day to let us know what Charlotte has been doing. There are always a selection of activities, toddler groups and classes, trips to the park, feeding the ducks, play dates with other childminders that occur during the week and we regularly have beautiful works of art to put on the fridge!

I have always found Barbara to be very accomodating. With our work patterns my husband and I dont have normal 9-5 hours that Charlotte needs to be minded and Barbara has been very helpful in working with us.
Charlotte is very happy and that makes us very happy. We have been lucky finding Barbara and it helps me, as her mum, to relax when i am at work, knowing my little girl is in good hands.
