Eugenie cared for our twins from the age of 22 months for about 6 months (when we moved away from London). We were really sorry to say goodbye to Eugenie and her family, we had looked forward to seeing them every week. I had been apprehensive about having a childminder as we'd only had experience of nursery prior to this but Eugenie was immediately reassuring. Eugenie is a wonderfully caring, hardworking and positive person. She is passionate about supporting children's development and is generally a lovely person to know! We received daily updates and lots of photos of the girls enjoying themselves playing outside, on walks, making a mess, eating loads of fruit... The playroom and garden at her house are well laid out and equipped with lots of activities.

We'll be forever grateful that we had such a good experience with our first childminder, but it will be a tough act to follow :-)
