Ylva has a very special place in our family. Six years ago when I was looking for a nursery/childminder for my then 2-year old daughter, Ylva was the only person I felt confident that my daughter would be cared for in a warm,loving and stimulating environment. My daughter absolutely thrived in Ylva’s care, so much that she stayed with her until starting school and had the smoothest transition.
2 years later when expecting our son I knew that only Ylva could look after him when I returned to work. He’s been in Ylva’s care just over a year and absolutely loves going to her house. Both my children adore her, we’ve seen them standing by our front door in their pyjamas with their bag in hand wanting to go to her 6am. (They start at 8.30am :))
Ylva provides a wonderfully stimulating, engaging and happy setting. The children explore nature in any weather, eg. splashing in puddles, sledging and building snowmen, collecting sticks in the woods. They also visit various playgroups,the library and get to know their local community. Ylva also organises special days out in the holidays which the children love.
Ylva encourages early development in a fun and exciting way. My son seems to learn something new every from her. Even though she has vast experience and knowledge in child development she continues to develop her skills.
She provides a written daily diary and sends photos of the children which is the highlight of my often stressful workday.
I could probably write an essay about how invaluable Ylva is for my family and how much she’s supported us becoming more confident and happier parents. Anybody would be lucky to have Ylva caring for their children!
