My son Ben has been with Amanda and Peter for 3 years and with much regret we've had to say goodbye as he starts primary school in a different part of Worthing.
Amanda and Peter have been fundamental in Ben's development, teaching and encouraging him as he has explored new experiences and skills. Ben is an only child so being in their 'home from home' setting interacting with children of different ages was one of the reasons I chose Amanda and Peter as his childminders so that he could learn to build relationships with different age groups, learn from them and also be put in his place by them when necessary- necessary life skills in my view.
Ben has had so much fun mixing structured and free play with sit down learning and I've been particularly happy that Amanda encourages the children to be out and about a lot whether with trips to the park and beach or more further afield to soft play, garden centres and so on. In particular the trips organised with Magicminders which have included farms, Field Place Trains and the fire station have been special treats. So much going on.
And now it's time for him to move on and I'm hopeful that with this great start in life going to school will be a positive step.
