Reviews:

"This book is truly inspirational, As a childminder for the past 13 years I found this book to be a valuable source of up to date information and advice... It's like my bible. You won't be dissapointed."
- Anne Dolphin, Registered Childminder

"This book gives an excellent range of advice and references... Written in a way that makes it ideal to just dip into when you have a problem or question that needs to be quickly answered but at the same time equally good for a sit down with coffee when you get one of those rare moments for relaxation."
- Childminding Help
