When we first started thinking about childcare for our son, we weren’t sure if a childminder or a nursery would be better. The nurseries all seemed so large, busy and overwhelming, whereas most childminders work on their own with 2 or 3 children. So, when we came across Caring Hands which has 2 childminders and 2 assistants working together was like a perfect compromise.
From the first visit we fell in love with bright, clean, homely atmosphere there and the kind and dedicated way in which Slavka talked about the setting and the children in her care.
The setting is excellent. Every day includes stimulating, exciting and different activities for children. Atmosphere there is always peaceful, relaxed and everything seems to be well organised. The play room has an excellent range of activities which opens to an outside area where the children can also play. The food and snacks provided are healthy, and my son always eats well there.
It is quite a small and intimate setting as well, so I know that my son is getting care and attention he needs as Caring Hands staff are always making great effort to respond to individual children\'s needs. Also, we are always kept well-informed by the staff of our son progress receiving a daily report advising about his activities and interaction, what he has eaten and how he has been for a day.
In summary I couldn\'t recommend a better, more experienced childminder and I feel completely confident that my son is getting the best possible care at Caring Hands.
Thank you Slavka, Ioana and team!
