Charlene is the most amazing childminder to our children (6 and 9 years old). She is well organised and professional at all time and her setting feels like home to our children.
Charlene offers them a wide range of brillant activities and days out, marking birthdays and special days. She also provides them nutritious food and treats. We had to request details of some of the foods our girls discovered at her setting and now love.
Her service to us includes school pick up and she always arrives much earlier, ensuring she has enough time to collect them on time no matter the circumstances.
We are so lucky to have found her and can't recommend her enough!
My experience of the care, support and education Charlene provided to my child was truly excellent. Charlene came across as very experienced, knowledgeable and skilled within childcare and development as she introduced my child to so much different varied activities and equipment which really helped his learning opportunities particularly as he has additional learning needs. In addition Charlene also provided/ introduced a variety of healthy meals and snacks to my child of which I had never considered giving him before. Lastly, the care Charlene provides within her environment is like home from home I was always happy and confident leaving my child in her care and would therefore highly recommend her as a Childminder

Thank you Shantel for your kind words and great support you have for precious Gemz, it was my pleasure to care for your child.
It would bring me joy to see him in the evenings and plan activities that would make him smile.
