I'm very happy to recommend Bernadette. My daughter was at the setting from the age of 9 months until she started school, and now my son attends 4 days a week.

Both children have absolutely loved their time there, and been really at home with Bernadette, her husband and the whole family. It's a really comfortable and calm place - every morning my daughter went straight into the house and is always excited about going. The setting is a peaceful place, but also with plenty of stimulation and variety, there are plenty of parks nearby and as long as the weather cooperates most days they are out. There's also a good range of activities for the children when they're at the house. Bernadette is encouraging and supportive, and also provides structure to their activities.

Bernadette always has time to talk about how the children doing, and is really committed to their wellbeing and development. I would thoroughly recommend her as an excellent childminder.
