Vickey and Andrews, Baildon Childminders.

We always put our heart and soul into all our children which always means I feel my heart breaks a little more when they go 😭😭😭 .

I know the 2 children who have left today will love where they are going, one to school nursery and one on an adventure to Scotland to be with family.
Thankyou so much for allowing us to care for your children and putting your trust in us.

I wish you all the best at your new childcare and our setting won't be the same without you both...go smash life beautiful girls x

Leah Martin and Dani Slavova thankyou
