An excellent childminder - "My Fiona!"

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Fiona as our daughter Bethany's childminder from the tender age of 6 months until she transitioned to school at the age of 3. Fiona's dedication, warmth, and genuine love for the children in her care have made a profound impact on our family.

From the very beginning, Fiona created a nurturing and stimulating environment that allowed Bethany to flourish. Her home became a second home for Bethany, filled with laughter, learning, and endless adventures. Fiona's commitment to providing a safe and loving space was evident in every aspect of her childcare.

Fiona's ability to tailor activities to suit Bethany's developmental needs was remarkable. We watched in awe as Bethany not only learned essential skills but also developed a love for learning. Fiona's creative and educational approach to playtime was both engaging and age-appropriate, fostering Bethany's curiosity and imagination.

Communication with Fiona was always open and transparent. Regular updates, including photos and anecdotes, allowed us to feel connected to Bethany's daily experiences. It provided us with peace of mind knowing that Bethany was in such capable and caring hands.

Fiona's genuine affection for the children in her care created a close-knit community. Bethany formed lasting friendships and developed social skills that have undoubtedly laid a strong foundation for her future interactions. The sense of family that Fiona cultivated among the children was heart-warming and reassuring. Bethany still calls Fiona "My Fiona" to this day. She is always happy to see Fiona if we do run into her while out and about!

As parents, we appreciated Fiona's flexibility and understanding of our family's unique needs. Her support during transitions, such as introducing solid foods and moving onto school was invaluable. Fiona truly went above and beyond, making every effort to ensure Bethany felt secure and loved.

In summary, Fiona is not just a childminder; she is a caregiver, an educator, and a friend. Bethany's early years under Fiona's care were filled with love, laughter, and growth. We cannot thank Fiona enough for the positive impact she has had on our daughter's life and for providing us with the peace of mind that every parent seeks.

If you're looking for a childminder who goes beyond expectations, Fiona is the one. Our family will forever be grateful for the beautiful start in life she has given our daughter.

Thank you, Fiona, for being an extraordinary childminder and a cherished part of our family's journey.
