Excellent childminders are hard to find. Patty and her assistant Ola are passionate about looking after children. They pay attention to detail, empathetic and make delicious, nutritious meals. My daughter aIways looks for to going to Pattys everyday😊.
I am at peace when my daughter is at Patty's setting, with regular updates during the day, you know that your child is safe and in good hands. As a student my hours vary and Patty is very accommodative and flexible.
Patty thank you for the excellent service you provide. We love you xx

My little girl loves going to Patty. She's always coming back with stories to tell about their lovely and active day. The setting is very friendly, there are loads of activities that help her develop in a nice rounded way. Kids spent quite some time outside in the garden playing organised and free in nature. All of the children are happy and fulfilled at the end of the day on pickup.
Patty sends updates on the children's day throughout the day so we know what they have enjoyed. She is also a good communicator, trying alway to find a solution to a problem. She has always respected my asks re my daughter, from cloth nappies to dummy to nap times.
All in all, I'm very happy

Thank you sooo much. Thank you for trusting us with you amazing precious baby
My daughter use to attend pattys childcare and she loves every moment of it. Even now at 6 years of ages she still asks to go back in holidays. Patty is very friendly and great with kids. She cooks nice nutritional food and has lots of activities for the kids to engage in daily. She also has an assistant Ola who is also fab with the children she is very creative and loves to bake cakes with the children. The children have the opportunity to go on trips and outdoor activities such as parks and museums just to mention a few. I have no negative comments about this childcare provider pretty much one of the best from my past experience. Patty is a easy to get hold of via wats app and she updates you daily with images of what your child has been up to.

Thank you! Thank you for trusting us with your precious child
My two grandchildren are looked after by patty and her assistant ola they are amazing and very accommodating my eldest grandchild was struggling to settle in at a nursery and I couldnt bear him being distressed all the time so I found patty on childcare.co.uk and it was the best thing ever she and ola have settled him in lovely it was a shaky start but they were so loving and reassuring that he settled in after a few weeks he has been going here since the age of just over 2 years he will be 5 this year and unfortunately will be leaving to go reception but his little sister will stay until she reaches that age to they have both developed excellent confidence skills nappy training was a quick progress with the support they enjoy the home cooked meals never ever come home hungry and they always want to talk about their activities of that day it's always something different I wouldn't wish for a better nursery as this one meets all my needs just one word explains it and that's AMAZING

Thank you Paula🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
My daughter really enjoyed her time. And I felt so at ease knowing she was in Patty’s hands.
Nourishing meals, learning, teaching, even cooking with the children.
I would highly recommend.
Absolutely loved the time my child spent with this child minder.
Even prepared her for school.

Thank you for this Michaela! It was a real pleasure caring for her
My daughter attends Patty’s home childcare during school holidays. She really enjoys herself, with a variety of daily activities such as art, cooking, baking, building, creative work, trips to the park. She keeps in communication with us through the day to give us comfort knowing how out little ones are. Would defiantly recommend. Thank you very much for taking good care of Her (:

When I decided to go back to work, my little one went through 2 childminders and a nursery and was not happy and felt slightly scared and then along came Patty, she was like a god sent!
She looked after my son for 2 and half years and he loved every minute of it, he is now due to start school in September so sadly leaving Patty! you can see the love and dedication she has for what she does and for the kids under her care. She goes the extra mile constantly to ensure the kids are happy and well looked after.
She prepares lovely homemade meals and snacks for the kids, plans a day full of activities to nurture their learning and growth. We have been extremely lucky to come across Patty, she gives that peace of mind a working mother needs when leaving their child with someone else. I am extremely grateful for everything she has done for my little one and we will miss her loads!

Thank you ❤️
Patty cares for my 7months old baby and he is now 13 months, Patty is very caring, patience, understanding, she treats the children individually but equally. She is very passionate about the children and pays attention to every child needs. she would send pictures which reassures me a lot because my baby can cry for England. I would recommend her to everyone, I wouldn’t swap Patty for 20 childminders put together. Thank you so much

Thank you❤️
I am so pleased I chose Patty to child-mind my son! Her and her assistant Ola are amazing with my son. He has been there just over a year now and I've seen so much improvement in his language, motor skills and development in general. Patty keeps me updated throughout the day by sending pictures and videos of the activities they are doing and as this is the first time using a childminder it definitely puts my mind at ease. He is always smiling when he is there and has never not wanted to go! It is lovely to see the bond my son has with the both of them. Patty is also very flexible and has helped me in many ways when facing difficulty as a single parent which I truly appreciate. I couldn't recommend her enough!!

Thank you Sam! ❤️
We had from bad to terrible experience in the past with few chilminders and were very worried for our son as either he used to cry every time we left him or was not getting to do enough activities . This hasn't been a case since we met Patty. He loves her to the bits and so does she. Our son asks for her even when it's weekend which makes us feel very relaxed and jealous at the same time ?. She is very energatic and full of ideas when it comes to doing various age appropriate activities. She's always out and about with kids and making sure they're learning something whilst having fun.
She's very particular and loyal. She has moved to a different area which is approximately 40 mins drive from us. We were petrified with the thought of finding a new place for our son. Having such an attachment with our son she offered to pick and drop him off, which was the biggest relief and quite comforting. Hats off to her dedication and love towards the kids.
I can write a whole book on how good she is towards kids but I think I'll stop here

Pat has looked after my son since he was 10 months old. From the start she has created a nurturing, loving, secure and fun envionment for my son. Pat is absolutely great with kids and makes them all feel very special. Pat will always go the extra mile to help out in any way she can. The environment that she has created has enabled my son to learn very rapidly. He has grown in confidence and because of the healthy food Pat cooks for him, he has developed a varied diet. When my son is with Pat, it's very much home from home.

Aunty Patty is absolutely lovely, very caring, understanding and trustful. I would recommend her to everyone. She is really attentive to every child's need and in my situation I had no problem with her caring for my son who has many allergies. My son was safe and well looked after and he loves her.

I'm so glad I found Patty thanks to this app, my girls love her.
They do so many different activities that by the time I'm ready to pick them up the girls they are tried. Patty always keeps me informed and send me pictures and texts thought out the day. Patty is like a part of the family now, I feel like my girls are safe and secure in her care giving me piece of mind which is so important. they love cooking with her, picnic, going play group, making lollies and just playing dress up. thanks to Patty's support I completed my course....I would definitely recommend Patty.

I have known Patty for over 5 years andd have found her to be a loyal, genuine and dependable friend person. She is a remarkably calm and patient person who is ideally suited to working with children and young people. She is honest, trustworthy and reliable and committed to the service she provides.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality childcare. My 2 year old has been so happy daily going to her nursery aa he well looked after.
Try her and you won't regret keeping your child under her trust.
