My daughter started with Elaine last September (2021) as she started school and both my husband and I work. Holly met Elaine and straight away they got on like a house on fire. I was worried that she might not settle, but instead of having a child who didn’t want to go to school in the mornings I had a child who absolutely loved visiting Elaine and her family.
The environment is stimulating for all age groups and children are encouraged to grow and explore, through play, homework, reading and also trying a variety of healthy foods. Never would I have thought Holly would eat stir fry, but she absolutely loves it and I put this down to the friendly, safe and family orientated environment that made it safe to try these new things.
Elaine is more than I could have wished for in any childminder and she definitely helped Holly to develop greater resilience and independence.
