Exceptional Childminder

Since my daughter Gracie-Mae was recommended to Bryony's childminding service we have seen a massive progression in her development with education and self confidence. Bryony encourages both individual skills as well as team building situations. Throughout Gracie's stay at Bryony's, Bryony shows not only professionalism and experience in her field but also offers the parental instincts and support as if Gracie was her own child. I have full trust in Bryony's childminding services to insure the very best upbringing and education of Gracie. We kept fully informed of each days events by means of a daily diary and accompanying photos to support. In the event of any mishaps or accidents we are informed directly and Bryony supports every recommendation and resolution we provide. With all things said Gracie would not be the characteristic well educated 2 year old without Bryony's experience and time spent with her. I would highly recommend Bryony to anybody to ensure your child's educational and safety requirements are fully met.

Don’t miss the opportunity if she has a space!

Bryony has looked after my daughter since she was 7 months old and has been instrumental in her growing into a happy confident 3 year old who loves life!
My daughter has such an eventful week attending various toddler groups and fun outings alongside lots of creative indoor fun that now decorates our home.
My daughter attends for long hours but I can truly concentrate at work comfortable in the knowledge that she is in the best hands.
When my daughter attends school she will still be attending in school holidays so she can still spend time with Bryony, her kind children and the special friends she has made.

Really excellent, high quality child minding

My 8 year old daughter has recently started at Bryony's two days a week before and after school plus some school holiday days. I had no experience of using a child-minder and the whole experience has been a very positive one for our family.

Bryony is super organised and has very clear policies and paperwork. Her home is really child-friendly and welcoming. I was impressed with her experience and ability to cope with anything! Her home and family are lovely and it is clear that everyone has a wonderful time when with her.

My daughter says that she "loves going to Bryony's because there is a lot to do - lots of craft activities and outdoor activities including the tyre swing". She also loves the pets and has really enjoyed becoming friends with Bryony's older daughter and the other children.

The on line system is great allowing you to see photos of what the children have been doing. My daughter cannot wait for Bryony days to come around which I think is a very good sign of how much she enjoys it! Bryony is very fair and kind and sets clear and appropriate boundaries which mean everything works smoothly. Each child is treated very much as an individual which I love.

Can honestly say that I have been wowed by Bryony and would highly recommend her.

Bryony has been looking after my son for a year and she is absolutely fantastic, she is extremely reliable and has helped Arnav tremendously with his development, she has a lovely family and has a great family feel to her home and the kiddies have so much fun with her and its always a pleasure for me at pick up time receiving a thoughtful gift from her arts and craft time with the children. I would recommend Bryony 100%

Two wonderful years and still going!!!

Bryony has been my son's childminder for over two years, after school picks ups, school holidays and some early mornings. I've reccommended her to friends and colleagues alike, I trust and value her input. She keeps my active, eager and bright boy safe, happy and engaged! But what do mum's know, here's what my soon to be 8 year old son has to say about Bryony...

" Bryony is a nice and kind childminder. She's good fun and has a range of things to do at her house. She cares alot and cooks delicious meals. She does very good lasagna and apple crumble. If you're naughty she gives you a warning, she is very fair to all the children. She has a nice family and makes me feel like I'm at home. She also has a very good garden for football! If you are upset she takes care of you well. I like her alot! "

I would say that says it all, but think it is worth adding that Bryony is an honest and reliable. She is thoughtful with her feedback and when I collect my son I always feel I have a good sense of what kind of day he has had and if I need to be aware of any troubles from school or otherwise. We are so grateful she is a part of our lives!

Simply The Best

Bryony has looked after my daughter since I returned back to work 8 months after my daughter was born. This was 2 years ago and I have never looked back.
Bryony is a major part of Mia's life and it is so comforting to know that Mia loves going round whilst I am working. Mia practically jumps into Bryonys house to see all of her friends and there are always educational activities going on for the children to take part in - which are also brought home so we can see what the children have got up to. Drawings, Christmas decorations, Mothers Day cards and so on. Such lovely keepsakes.
I cannot fault Bryony and the childcare she provides.
Simply the best.

look no further

Bryonne is simply amazing. My daughter went to hers from six months to three years and my son now goes - he loves it at bryonne's. The only way to get him to leave the house is to say that we are going to her house where she loves and tends to the kids as if they are her own.

Home away from home

I've had Bryony as a childminder for the last 4yrs for my 9yr old daughter and 6yr old son. Bryony’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my children have great fun playing with all the toys available and interacting with the other children in her care. Mostly I like the fact that she treats them as part of her family which was an important decision for my decision to place them with her.

I love the fact that all the food provided is nutritionally balanced and home cooked, always provides fresh vegetables (some from the allotment) and fruit to ensure their 5/day.

Beyond all this though, it is Bryony’s warm and friendly but no nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders I have experienced.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know my children enjoy playing with all the outdoor toys, crafts, cooking, reading and puzzles as well as outings during the holiday. Also having the children participate in themed seasonal and holiday crafts and activities. She also helps them with their homework if I'm going to pick them up late.

Bryony is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my children's confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to me at home. When the children step outside their boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what she & I would like to see in terms which they understands. When they are hurt or feeling under the weather I know that they feels happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure their health and safety. I am also aware that Bryony ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.

I couldn' t praise her enough and would not hesitate her to anyone.

Wonderful Babysitter!

Bryony has looked after both of my little girls, one is 3 and a half, the other is 2, on a very regular basis for the past 6 months and she has been wonderful! She is trustworthy, friendly, reliable and faultless with the kids, both of my girls think it's a treat when she babysits! She has also looked after them through the day until very late at night, given the kids dinner and got them to bed with no problems, she's taken them out to activities, played games with them, given them books to read, she's just great fun to have around.

Its a big deal leaving someone with your children for the night but with Bryony both my husband and i can completely relax, we couldn't ask for our children to be in more capable hands. I would highly recommend her.
