When my daughter start going to the childminder i was very stressed about it but now i am happy taking her because she is happy .They have different activities day by day ,new games and toys ,parties .I can say is even better then in a nursery ..Flexible shifts ,she is learning ,she is playng ,she has always childrens around ,she is eating,using the potty ,she is happy .If she will not feel she is loved she will cry when i drop her every day(she is 21 months old)..but she is happy to go .It is a welcoming environement ,pleasant ,warm.You can feel it professional like a nursery but in the same time warm like a home ! Well done girls ! You are doing a great job !
