I don't know where to start in saying just how brilliant Julie is. She is such a dedicated and lovely lady who adores every child she cares for (and it's clear they adore her too). Julie is so kind and really understands the needs of each individual child. My daughter, who can be quite clingy, warmed to Julie straight away and enjoys her days with her each week. Julie is extremely reliable and has never let us down. Julie sends me photo updates half way through the day which always puts a smile on my face at work and not only writes a detailed account of my daughter's day, but also hands over in great detail too. Julie's serves a cooked meal each lunch time which my daughter thoroughly enjoys. Each child has a tray/box to store their belongings so it really does save that dreaded ''did I pack everything'' feeling in the mornings. Julie's house is very well set up for the children including a large indoor and garden space. There are lots of local parks (including one opposite the house) which Julie takes the children to daily. Julie and her family are so, so friendly and welcoming I cannot recommend her enough.
