It was apparent from our first meeting with Rebecca that she is a diligent, flexible and professional childminder, however her love, care and dedication to our son was truly exceptional.

In the six months that Rebecca has looked after Alden (sadly we have to relocate due to work otherwise we would of remained with Rebecca) his speech has come along greatly and he is a confident and polite little boy. Her handling of disciplinary issues are exceptional, with her using excellent communication skills to explain why the behaviour is not acceptable, previous issues that we had encountered when disciplining Alden have since ceased.

The activities she embarks on with the children are superb, baking (the best apple crumble we have had!) arts and crafts, free play, mornings/days out at playgroups, trampolining club, the farm, the list is endless!

We really can't speak highly enough of Rebecca and I know that we will all miss her greatly. Thank you for everything you have done.

Sarah, John and Alden.
