Julie is fantastic at her job and she goes over and beyond the call of duty! She is extremely approachable, professional caring, and friendly amongst others things! She understands children and their needs, and she puts the needs of the child first! She has excellent knowledge of the different areas of leaning and development and she linked this holistically when working alongside our little girl. She made our little girl feel part of her family and loved and would send us up-dates during the course of the day, including pictures! when your a working parent this is a wonderful thing to recieve and extremely comforting they are happy and in very good care. Our little girl adored Julie and we couldn't have asked for a better child minder, we have used others before, but by far Julie stood out! She even compiled a book to present to us at the end of her time with her, something we will treasure for ever! I cant recommend Julie enough she is very natural around the children and above all our little girl was safe with Julie and very well cared for. she is extremely competent in her job! We would use Julie every time to look after our children!
