Eva has looked after our son for 18 months, covering a big span of his 4 years. We are about to move on from her care (as he's starting school) and it's a big wrench for all of us! He's had a wonderful time with her and her lovely family; it's been a real home from home for him, which is exactly what we wanted from a childminder.

Eva has, however, surpassed all our expectations; she's been unfailingly patient, she's great at creative stuff, has a lovely welcoming home and garden and is extremely kind and warm. Our son has had a really wide range of activities with her and usually has something exciting to show for it! Most importantly, he has been so happy every 'Eva day' to be dropped off, which is so reassuring. We will all miss Eva very much.
