My child has been with Maxine since September 2018 when I had to return to work full-time when he was just 9 months old. I was very nervous about going back to work and leaving our son in someone else’s care but Maxine was very warm and caring and this was very comforting. Maxine looks after my child term time every Monday and every other Thursday as this fitted around my other childcare needs. Our son has created a lovely bond with Maxine and we couldn’t be happier with the way she looks after him. Maxine has given him confidence and the ability to be himself which has helped him grow into a sociable and playful child.

We have recommended Maxine to friends and family as we feel she is a fantastic, trustworthy and competent Childminder. We look forward to our sons journal which we get every few months and enjoy reading through what our son has been up to with some lovely photos. As I am at work when his Nan picks him up I am unable to talk to Maxine about his day so Maxine gave us a Daily Diary which is our communication between ourselves and I get a little insight to his day. I also receive some photos through the day which is a lovely way to reassure me that our son is safe and enjoying himself. Maxine makes our sons day very fun and enjoyable as he goes to messy play, soft plays, rhyme and time at the local library and Avon Valley to name a few activities!
