Madhuri has provided us with the care and home from home we were looking for for our little boy Axel. .
He blossomed in her care, his fine motor skills improved dramatically and Madhuri did an amazing job getting him ready for reception.
She cooked daily for him, and his feeding habits became much healthier and varied. He spent long hours with Madhuri and yet was always sad to leave her to go back home! Madhuri is extremely reliable, she communicates very effectively and created a bond not only with Axel, who still visits her from time to time a year later, but with us too. She was the perfect balance between a mother figure and a teacher. As a teacher myself, and a head of year, I know the effects ineffective childcare can have on a child development. And I can honestly say that even after moving to another town, if I ever needed a childminder again she would be my first choice.

Axel went from a shy, introverted boy who hates formal learning, to a thriving little boy who received his first certificate for reading 75 books by March of this year. I have no doubt in my mind that Madhuri set the foundations for a positive start to school for him.
