Lynda was nanny to our three children for several years and when she first started they were all under three years old so health and safety was one of our main priorities. Lynda provided not only a safe and clean environment but she organised fun and stimulating learning whilst respecting the differing needs/routines of all three children. As importantly, she encouraged them to socialise with other children in the local area through her very well established relationships within the childminding community. Lynda's warmth, humour and genuine love of children is evident in the way children respond to her. She has no reservations in plonking herself on the floor and instigating games, teaching or just giving out cuddles. Lynda is an outstanding child carer and a natural with children (and parents!) of all ages and I would be more than happy to give a verbal or written reference for her in the event you were considering her to be your childminder.
