When I was looking for childminders, I visited 10 individuals with my daughter. I loved how Doris immediately went to interact with my child on a personal level, and not just with me. Doris provided enough time during that initial meeting to cover her approach to childcare and safe-guarding practices, while still engaging in positive interplay with my child. I came away feeling extremely positive about the meeting, felt her practices aligned with my personal preferences and was more than happy to engage her services.
I loved the range of ages that my daughter was exposed to while in the care of Doris. I always felt that taking her there was a positive force in my daughter's life. I felt my child's development was in excellent hands, and I highly valued the fact that my daughter was experiencing a broad range of cultural diversity that differed from my own background and experiences.
My daughter is progressing well in all regards, and I believe that Doris has significantly contributed to that development, providing strong, consistent fundamentals vital to the growth of my child, for which I am extremely grateful. I would be delighted to recommend her to other parents.
