My daughter was lucky enough to be in the wonderful care of Linda from around 15 months. Prior to this she was in a (well rated) nursery and then as part of a nanny share. At the time I thought the childcare in those settings was decent but it was only after we found find a full time spot with Linda that I realised everything that was previously missing.

Linda is an exceptional childminder - she has a natural gift with kids and works to ensure every child is provided the best care. The setting is homely, with nutritious home cooked meals (that my daughter still talks about!). They go out daily to explore the commons or down Northcote Road for a babycino. They provided more than just care but a truly family environment where my daughter thrived.

In a city where many of us don't have family close by, Linda became part our family and we were fortunate enough to have her around to provide childcare for us. I will always be grateful for the amazing start that she provided to us and could not recommend her more.
