As a first time mum I couldn’t be more proud of Linda and my LO. Linda started to mind my child when he was 15months old. Linda has helped us in raising a future leader. She offers different daily knowledgeable activities which help with cognitive and motor skills.
Linda is very patient, kind, loving, passionate and a dedicated childminder. My husband and I are so grateful that we got to choose her. Choose Wise Children Childminding, you will never be disappointed. God bless you Linda.

I did our experience with linda very educational and worthwhile. My only regret is not spending my son to hers earlier. Rest assured your child is in good hands. The understanding and care she gives the children individual coupled with activities they do together was very helpful.

Linda was recommended to me by a friend, and I was not disappointed. She is a very nice, calm, and positive childminder who genuinely cares for and looks after children exceptionally well. She engages them in daily activities, keeping them busy and entertained. My daughter was always happy to go there, and I had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Linda is a professional and flexible childminder whom I would definitely recommend.

Linda is very passionate and dedicated to her job as a childminder. She is excellent, caring, and has a good attitude toward the kids and parents. She cares for my daughter like her biological one, to the fact that my daughter always cries whenever she is at home and not going to see her . She works closely with me to discuss my daughter's improvement and recommendations that could help in her development.
My daughter gets access to a wide range of activities, such as field trips and library visits . I am extremely impressed with the exciting learning environment, flexible teaching style, values, and discipline that she instils in my daughter.
My daughter has made good and rapid improvement in her care, which has really helped as she progressed to nursery class . She is lovely and kind .
I would highly recommend her as an excellent child minder .

My son absolutely loved going to Auntie Linda's. It was more like visiting family, than attending the childminders. He always felt right at home. Unfortunately, I don't currently require a childminder, so he hasn't been for a while and he always tells me how much he misses Auntie Linda, Auntie Rose and the children.
He was one of the older children and he loved to help out with the younger ones.
He says what he misses about Auntie Linda is that she was kind, funny, caring and always happy.
We wish her all the best in the future and if I'm ever in a predicament where I need a childminder again, there's no where else I'll take my son without a doubt. We absolutely love her and her team 💖💖💖

Linda is a friendly, caring and reliable person. Not only is she flexible but her rates are affordable too. Her house is clean and is a great learning environment for all the children, who seem happy and well behave whenever l drop and pick up my daughter. She is excellent at what she does and always seems kind, calm and patient. I have always felt at ease with asking her questions about my daughter and her day. And since my daughter has been going to Linda’s l have been reassured that l made the right choice. She is always happy to go there and really loves it. I definitely recommend Linda.

I have been using Linda for nearly 2 years after my last child minder left the profession. My little girl loves going to Auntie Linda's. She always has structured activities going on for the kids rain or shine. She is flexible and her rates are very reasonable. She has lots of trained helpers to ensure her business is run safely and efficiently. All the children who attend seem happy and occupied. She has worked with very young ones and also up to age 11. I would recommend Linda's company to all.

Linda is very passionate about her role and has an excellent manner with the kids. She cares for my child like one of her own. It is evident that she has an excellent relationship with my daughter, who often tells me that “she is not ready to leave”.
She regularly tracks my child’s development and provides me with pictures and detailed reports on her progress. She works closely with me to discuss her next steps and recommends activities that she could do at home to further enhance her development.
I am very impressed with the stimulating learning environment (looks like a mini-nursery), the range of activities including trips that my daughter has access to, her flexible approach and the values/discipline that she instills in my daughter. I could go on......
My daughter has made excellent and rapid progress in her care and is able to access materials above her age group.
I would highly recommend her, as I have to alot of my friends seeking childcare.
