Rosarii looked after my son from around the age of 2 and started going to her around the time of Covid so he wasn't used to other settings. At first he was sad to leave me, but always settled quickly and happily. And Rosarii would send me an update and photos, putting my mind at ease.
Rosarii always finds activities to appeal to my son- jigsaws, reading, mark making with cars, trips to the library, playgrounds and the local community garden which he loved. Her home is warm, loving and nurturing and she provides delicious home cooked , healthy meals.
Her older children are a delight and often play with my children in the school holidays when they go back to Rosarii's. They spend lots of time outdoors playing and meet up with other childminders and children.
Rosarii sends photos and a write up at the end of the day, is always happy for a chat on the door and shares her experience of childcare with you. For example my son's speech was delayed, Rosarii was a real comfort during this time, shared resources that we could use at home, she took part in additional courses like learning Makaton and really helped us to encourage and develop his speaking.
Her setting is a real home away from home. She loves what she does and loves the children in her care.
