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.
