Holly

Highly recommended!

My daughter has been going to Holly since she was 7 months old and she’s almost 15 months old. Holly is a great childminder, she has helped so much with my daughter’s development, she has taught her the actions to some nursery rhymes and takes her out to do different activities to keep her day exciting. She has a clean and tidy setting with lots of toys and activities. My daughter enjoys going to Holly’s so much that as soon as she hears Holly’s doorbell every morning, she gets excited and starts giggling and singing.

I couldn’t recommend Holly enough, having to go back to work so early on after having a baby was really daunting and difficult, knowing my daughter is in extremely good hands with Holly and is happy to go everyday has really given me peace of mind! I highly recommend.

Amaizing person and Great at her work

Holly has been our son’s childminder since he was 7 months old. Currently almost turning 2, Holly has been amaizing. She is professional and efficient in her role and you can tell she enjoys it. She has been very supportive to both us and our son in so many ways.

Her home setting is spacious and well organised to give lots of room for the little ones to play and run around. She has lots of toys and activities lined up throughout the week to keep them busy and have lots of art work to bring home with them.

She always has themed activities like Pretend Hospital, pretend Market, various animals and hygiene. As well as various holidays like Mother’s Day, Queen’s Jubiliee and Christmas. These are very educative and fun for the little ones to enjoy.

Her home is always clean and well organised, her food is splendid and lots of varieties and healthy snacks all week long.

I have seen my son grow from a little baby into a little boy since she has been with Holly. Currently learning to speak and eat independently.

Holly keeps us updated through out the day with lots of pictures and messages.

We are really happy with her services , she and her family are like a second family to our son. I highly recommend her . She is a blessing.

Friendly & Flexible

Holly was the childminder of my daughter Zofy for 2 years (since she was 1 year old until 3 years old). Zofy was picky in eating and Holly have managed to make sure Zofy ate her food. They do lot of activities from painting, baking, singing reading a story and even going to the park.

A big thumbs-up for Holly for toilet training, because one day, Zofy said to me "Mommy, Holly said, not on the nappy, only on the toilet". From that on before her 3rd birthday, toilet training was successful and completed for just a couple of weeks.

Just what we wanted

Holly has been great. She is professional, caring and passionate about her role as a childminder.
 
We needed a childminder and short notice and Holly communicated quickly and efficiently so set up a meeting asap and agree everything.
 
Her setting is immaculate, safe and full of things to keep the kids busy.
 
She is always doing new, topical activities with the kids, recent examples include the Queen’s Jubilee, animals and transport.
 
Our son’s speaking and eating has developed so much over the time he has been with Holly.
 
She provides a wide variety of healthy snacks like fruit.
 
Holly keeps us up to date with pictures and verbal updates.
 
We and our son are very happy with Holly and will miss her when he leaves for Kindergarten and we would highly recommend her.

very warm person, patient and just perfect

Holly has been childminding my daughter Sara (32 months now) since September 2020. She looks after her for 5 days each week (total 40 hours)

I have been extremely happy with the care Sara has received, and the great progress she has made whilst in Holly’s care. Holly’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Sara has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.

Holly provides a wide, fun range of activities. I know Sara has recently enjoyed drawing, sticking, baking and reading. Last week she did Valentine’s card for mummy and made shortbread biscuits for us, but actually she ate it all by herself so we did not have a change to try it :)

I am aware that Holly ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. I’m sure that it is this practice together with the cleanliness of Hollys’s home – Sara keeps singing the song at home while washing her hands “This Is The Way We Wash Our Hands...”

Holly provides a lot of different activities and sends me picture every day of what Sara was doing. Holly is very creative and allows Sara to get “dirty” while doing crafts which makes my little daughter even more happier. Holly makes themed days to celebrate various occasions such as Chinese New Year or Ramadan so children can learn about other cultures.

All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care Sara receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping her develop into a confident and self assured little girl.

Holly is very warm person and gives a lot of love not only to Sara but to all children she is looking after – which ensures me that Sara is in good hands.

I would absolutely recommend Holly as a great and reliable childminder.
