Kate and Ali are excellent childminders - I can't recommend them highly enough. I wanted my son to be in a home from home environment whilst I was at work, and that is exactly what they provide. Actually, if I'm honest, it is better than at home because they manage to get him to eat vegetables and put himself down for a nap!
They offer a structured day with plenty of activities (kids groups, swimming, soft play centres), nutritious home cooked meals and cuddles. I love reading my son's daily diary which tells me what he's been up to, what he particularly enjoyed doing, and what he ate. Kate also texts me at lunchtime to let me know how their morning went.
I have utter trust in them and feel very lucky to have found them.
