My little boy has now been with Victoria & Gareth now for a few months I can honestly say its been the best move I have ever made he was in a nursery from 6months old and it's probably one of the worst decisions I've ever made even though I thought I was doing right, I wish I would have known about Victoria and Gareth from the start they are amazing people and can't do enough for us they are truly a inspiration to and for us our little boy has come on tremendously since being there, I cannot thank you both enough and I would recommend you both to anyone. Thank you so much don't know what I would do without you both xxx
Thank you Sarah, Billy & Harry James xxxx

My daughter has been going to Victoria and Gareth afterschool for quite a few years now, and she simply loves them to bits. They were the first Childminder that I visited and for me I didn't need to go anywhere else.
Victoria and Gareth have wonderful children of their own and you can see from their relationship with them and the behaviour of their own children that they are the kind of people you would want your child to be around. They are always doing fun things together as a family and this is extended to the children in their care.
They will always offer you a warm welcome into their home whilst maintaining a very professional environment. Their home and garden is lovely and adapted well to suit their childminding needs. It is a very spacious environment with a large garden partly covered to protect the children from the elements. The playroom again is a great size and is fantastic for children of all ages (you may be hard pressed to encourage your child to come home with you of an evening). The children have their own downstairs bathroom which is spotlessly clean.
My daughter is one of the older children at Victoria's and she still enjoys the time spent there. She loves to help Victoria, she loves playing with the younger children and she particularly enjoys time with Gareth in the garden picking fruit and vegetables.
I would definitely recommend both Victoria and Gareth to anyone. They have been invaluable to me whilst I have pursued my career, giving me peace of mind knowing that my child is well cared for when I am at work.
I would recommend that you visit Victoria, Gareth and Children, chances are you will go back again.

My daughter started going to childcare three days a week with Victoria and Gareth when she was twelve months old. Victoria and Gareth immediately welcomed her as part of the family, and our daughter always came home a happy and content baby. They have a beautiful clean family home, which they have adapted for the needs of the children, making it a more fun, happy and playful place to be.
My daughter loves to play outside in their play houses, and the extra facilities they have in place including a decked play area with roof allows the children to play outside during all seasons throughout the year giving them access to the various climbing frames and slides. Victoria and Gareth’s’ home grown fruit and vegetables in the polly tunnel also enable the children to learn about fruit and vegetables in a safe and enjoyable environment, and not forgetting, the very large trampoline. The lay-out of the play areas are truly amazing and it is obvious a large amount of time and effort has gone into making this a very unique but safe and enjoyable play area for the children.
I would describe Victoria as a very softly spoken person who is always very kind and polite with the children. The one thing that makes Victoria stand out above all others is that she always goes that extra mile with the children, spending time with each child on an individual one to one basis when possible, allowing her to make gifts for friends and family of the children. On Mother’s day, our daughter brought home a beautiful flower, which had been decorated and gift-wrapped in a beautiful manner along with a canvas paint print of her hands. Christmas cards and wedding anniversary’s cards were always sent home, and they always had that extra special touch which Victoria had obviously spent many hours planning beforehand.
Sadly, my daughter had to leave Victoria and Gareth’s’ in the summer of 2011. Within a few days of leaving, all my daughter kept saying was Toria (as in Victoria) and bouncy bouncy (which related to the trampoline). After many weeks of thinking that my daughter would eventually stop this, she never did forcing myself and my husband to purchase her own a trampoline, even though our garden was not big enough!
My daughter can now say Victoria and she asks about her on a daily basis. Luckily, she still sees Victoria, Gareth and her friends on Tuesdays at our local playgroup. Without fail, when she sees Victoria she runs up to her and gives her a big squeeze and a cuddle.
Victoria obviously takes pride in what she does and this shows in everything she does with the children who are put in her care.
She is a fantastic childminder and an honour to her profession.

I was absolutely dreading going back to work and leaving my 8 month old daughter, who i must point out is a very clingy baby and has never been left with anyone before. After much searching victoria and gareth were recommended to me by a friend. After visiting victorias child friendly, loving and adapted envrionment, i felt confident that i could leave my child there without any worries or concerns. My daughter goes there 3 full days a week now and after the initial first day tears, mostly from me, she seems to be quite happy. Victoria and gareth both provide lots of love and comfort towards each child, and treat each child as one of their own. They provide a stimulating environment and ensure that there is lots going on throughout the day to meet each child's individual needs. I am quite happy and confident that my child will be going there for many years to come!
