Sue is a truly amazing and exceptional childminder. Sue looked after my son from when he was a year old until he was 8 years old and my daughter from 6 months - 2 years.

We'd been with another child when my son was young and hadnt had a great experience but Sue has restored our faith in childminders and changed our view on what childcare is. Both children settled very quickly and absolutely love and adore Sue. Sue will instantly make you feel comfortable and you can tell from the offset that childminding is her passion.

Sue takes so much time to prepare the children's day ensuring that there are educational, fun and stimulating activities to suit the child, they go on lots of outings - indoor and outside play. She also keeps a diary daily to detail what the children have been up to and particulars about nap times, food, toilet habits etc. so you know exactly where you are.

My children have thoroughly enjoyed their time with Sue and we are so sad that the time has come for us to move on, we are only departing as we have moved to a different area and Sue is also moving - if we could move to an area so we could stay with Sue I would in a heartbeat.

In our eyes Sue has became a part of our family, Sue has played such a huge part in my children's journey and has taught them so much I will be forever grateful for the kindness, warmth, nurture, patience, love and care that Sue has shown our children.

So in summary Sue is a wonderful lady and a truly fantastic childminder! It's a true privilege to have had her as our minder - Sue comes very highly recommended.
