Leahs Childcare's Reviews

Excellent!

Leah has been amazing for our son from when he joined at 11 months. He settled so quickly and the care provided by Leah is excellent.

The home environment is stimulating with lots of toys and activities available, and the range and number of groups that the children attend, alongside the activities outside the home like the aquarium, farm etc makes me really happy as a parent that every day is so varied for Archie. His learning and development has come on brilliantly, and more than anything, he is so happy to be going there, and has built a fantastic bond with Leah.

I couldn’t recommend Leah highly enough, she is an excellent childminder!

Truly wonderful

Leah has provided exception holiday childcare for my little one whilst her pre-school was closed and will do so in the future too. I have total confidence in Leah and know that my daughter is secure, safe and having a truly wonderful time, so much so that my lg has been pestering me all morning to go there on what is meant to be a fun day with myself. My lg settled in very quickly and I had no concerns at all whilst there. Leah provides a warm welcoming environment, lots of play/educational activities and a daily outdoor activity. At the end of the day you receive a report of your child's activities, what they have ate, what they took a special interest in amongst other useful pieces of information.
One very pleased mum and daughter and I can not wait for the next school holidays as I know my little one loved her time with Leah so much.

My 2 year old loves Leah!

My daughter has been going to Leah 3 days a week since she was 9 months old. She is now 2 and has really settled in with Leah, the other children and also Leah's children whom she adores!
I am more than happy with the care that Leah provides, as well as the trips that she takes the children on and the activities they do during the day - I know that on the days my daughter is with Leah she will have had a fun-filled day!

Response by Leahs Childcare on 22/07/2017:

Thank you so much! we love her too!

Fantastic

Whenever I drop off my son with Leah in the morning, I know he'll return home happy and have loads of fun. I know he'll go to playgroup, park, farm, playground, aquarium or have a nice walk on the beach. He'll play, sing, dance, paint with other children at Leah's care or those he meets at playgroup. It was like this when my son first went to Leah's care in September 2014 when he was ten months old. He's a happy toddler now and he still enjoys going to Leah's two years later. Leah not only looks after Matthew but also shows great appreciation for the other half of non-British cultural heritage that is part of Matthew's growing-up experiences. Leah's help has become an essential part of our family life!

Leah has been our childminder for almost 5 months. From the first day our child started she has been settled, she arrives smiling and happy to see Leah and when we collect her she is happy.

Our daughter loves the environment and the other children. She receives plenty of input and stimulation. We are very happy and confident with the provisions Leah provides.

Wonderful!

Leah has been looking after my 20 month old for the last 6 months. We had started him at a nursery but he was really unhappy so we decided to try a child minder instead. After just two days there were no more tears, and within a week or so he was happily running into her arms without a backward glance - we couldn't believe it! Leah provides a really happy and secure environment for all the children she looks after, and does such a range of activities it's hard to know how she fits it all in! She is promoting my son's development in all areas and we regularly discuss his achievements and how we can work together to encourage further development. I feel as though she has truly listened to me in terms of what's important to me and how my son is looked after, and she often has really useful suggestions to tackle any problems, based on her broad experience in child care. It is such a lovely touch to receive photos every day that show what he's been up to and how happy he is! Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Peace of mind and a happy child

Leah is an absolute godsend - she just amazing with my little boy (now nearly 2) who has been with her for 18months. I love that Leah always gets the children out and about, going to playgroups, the library and the park. I never worry when D is with Leah as she is clearly patient and kind and well trained in every aspect of child care. I love that D runs up laughing and smilling to her door, and hardly looks back as I leave for work. But that's not surprising as at Leahs he gets to paint, draw, plant, run, cook, play and read - what child wouldn't look forward to that! Leahs' house provides a roomy safe environment for children to grow and explore. I also love that her record keeping notes, diarys and pictures will provide D with a lasting record of his early years with Leah.
Thank You Leah
Rach and D

I don't know how she does it!

I have two girls (aged 8 and 6) who go to Leah's before and after school. They both love it there with a wide and varied range of activities available to them both indoors and out. They always seem to want to do just one more thing when I pick them up in the evening and my car slowly fills with the stuff that they make to bring home, whether a Mothers Day card, a plant they have grown or biscuits that they have made. I feel a bit guilty I never manage to do half the things she does with them in the evening! Can not recommend her enough!

Fabulous childminder

Leah has looked after my 2 girls (currently 8 and 6) before and after school for the past 3 1/2 years. In this time I have been constantly impressed with the way she has cared for, entertained, engaged, cajoled, comforted and supported my children. A good childminder is hard to find and Leah is a gem. She genuinely cares about the children and wants to make sure their time with her is positive, stimulating and happy. despite only being there for brief periods of time, I am amazed at the craft activities; outside play; educational games and fun that Leah manages to fit in with my children. I also like the fact that they learn about and celebrate key events and festivals from a vast range of different cultures and religions. I feel my children's lives are enhanced by their time at Leah's and I would recommend her warmly.

Amazing!!

Leah has been looking after my little girl from the age of 6 months. My little girl is now 4 and LOVES her days at Leah's. She always comes home with great stories of things they have done and Leah has always encouraged her to explore, play & learn. I go to work safe in the knowledge that my daughter is safe and very well cared for. Leah genuinely loves all the children she cares for and this is reflected in how much my daughter loves Leah. I couldn't fault her in any way.
