A complete god send!!
I found Naomi through this site in September 2011 and I am so glad I did! My daughter Daisy was looked after by Naomi from September 2012, for a year, whilst she attended reception at Lionwood Infant School (aged 4). We relocated to Cambridge hence having to move Daisy however we still go back and visit which is a testament to how lovely Naomi and her whole family are.
Daisy adored her time with Naomi and would often rather have stayed there playing than come home! Naomi is professional and dedicated to her job. Having used 2 previous childminders I can honestly say Naomi is by far the best, going above and beyond what she is required to do. The children all have so much fun, in the holidays they have trips out and after school they regularly bake, do art work and enjoy her spacious garden. Naomi also used to provide Daisy with Dinner which was home cooked and nutritious.
Lastly I would also like to add that as a non-smoker I was initially apprehensive about meeting a childminder who had declared that she smoked however I would just like to say that from the moment I met Naomi in her home it was clear that she is extremely professional and true to her word regarding smoking. Her house is clean and doesn't smell of smoke as is her car. I would not have chosen Naomi if this wasn't the case and just want to put others minds at rest if this was a concern.
I hope this helps anyone trying to decide who should look after their child when they are at work. It's a really daunting task finding a childminder so I hope this helps.
