Our eldest child went to Phoebe just after she turned one in 2016, and stayed till she was 2.5. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring person to look after our little girl than Phoebe. Our daughter made incredibly strong bonds with the adults and the other children in the setting very quickly and still loves seeing Phoebe and her team when we walk past. Phoebe treats the kids in her (immaculately clean) setting with such warmth, respect and love, and creates an atmosphere of fun, always promoting learning through play. Her home-cooked meals were always devoured with gusto too, even during fussy periods of food refusal at home!

Phoebe has continued to provide our family with incredible support, coming to the rescue to provide our youngest child with emergency childcare during the last year on more than one occasion. It’s a testament to Phoebe’s skills that he has loved spending time in her setting despite being thrown into the deep end with no settling in period.

I genuinely don’t know what we would have done without Phoebe in our lives over the last five years, and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her highly to anyone looking for a childminder.
