As a parent, I totally understand that choosing childcare is one of the most important, and difficult, decisions we sometimes need to make for our children when they're little.  The type of childcare we choose is a very personal thing - it doesn't matter of the house is a mansion and there are enough toys to fill a football pitch, if you don't get that 'good gut feeling' about the provider, you will never be totally happy and confident leaving your child, and being able to concentrate on your working day. 

What the best type of childcare, and who provides it isn't the same for everyone - what suits one family won't necessarily suit another, and so I like to be open and upfront from the beginning - if there's anything a parent isn't happy about or comfortable with I would encourage them to tell me about their concerns.  I believe that honesty and trust between the adults involved in any childcare arrangement is fundamental to its success and, most importantly, the happiness of the child. 

Like many childcare providers, I have vast childcare experience but I also have a friendly 'real' approach to childcare.  I want all the children I look after to feel special and cared for, so I treat all my special little friends the way I would want my daughter to be treated.  I work hard to ensure I have a professional but friendly relationship with parents so that they trust me and know I will always do what's best for their child.  It is important to me that parents know that I will listen to them and respect their views and wishes - after all they are the parents and know their child best! 

I want every child and parent to feel happy and relaxed, and able to treat my home like their second home.  I want my special little friends to look forward to, and enjoy coming to, Kiddiwinks and to thrive in the opportunities and experiences offered.

If they're happy, you'll be happy and then I'm happy!
