Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My twins have been with Bonnie for the past few months, and it has been an absolute pleasure having her as their childminder. She has a beautiful home and a lovely family who are also wonderful with the twins, particularly her daughter who seems to love playing with the children! It is a lovely home-from-home environment, where they spend time playing inside, outside in the garden, and going on trips out on walks, to play parks, and to softplay. I honestly can't fault her at all and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, happy, and homely environment for their kids. Thank you so much for everything Bonnie, they clearly love coming to you every morning, and I am so grateful for you!!!

My 2 year old has been with Bonnie full time for a few months now and absolutely LOVES her!! Bonnie has been amazing, he quickly settled in, her home is lovely and he goes running in every morning excited to play and is always happy at pick up, he says Bonnie and her daughters name all the time! She sends me pics everyday of the fun things they have been up to. My son is thriving and his development is coming along great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a home from home for their little ones!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your son is an absolute delight in the setting and has settled well. It will be lovely to see him develop and progress within my care. Thank you once again for putting your trust in me. Bonnie x
Bonnie has looked after my (18month) old daughter for the past 9 months and has been absolutely wonderful. Grace settled in so well, she goes In happy and comes out happy! I was so nervous to leave her with anyone when the time come for me to return to work part time but my mind was soon put at ease when I found Bonnie. She has taken her on days out to the farm, soft play, the park, done a wide range of activities with her that have not only been fun but also educational. I get regular updates and pictures through out the day and he communication has been great. It really has been a home from home for Grace and she has thrived in Bonnie’s care. It’s only due to us moving house that we have had to find childcare closer to home and I can only hope Grace will be as settled as she is now. Highly recommended Bonnie and we are sad to be leaving! I wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure seeing Grace develop. She has been a valued part of the setting and I will truly miss her, once she has left. I hope all goes well with the move and wish Grace all the best in her new childcare setting.
My youngest has been with Bonnie just over a year and has absolutely loved it. She has learnt so much and her speech has come on so well since being in Bonnie’s care. Earlier this summer we had a few bumps in the road in terms of my daughters behaviour but we managed to work as a team with Bonnie to try and help overcome the issue. My daughters social skills have developed and feel she is getting that confidence playing with other children. Bonnie you will be missed!

It has been a pleasure working with you and having your daughter in the setting. It has been loving seeing her progress and develop into the confident little girl she has become. Once again thank you for working together with me. She will be missed and I wish both you and your daughter well in the future. Bonnie x
As soon as I met Bonnie I knew that she was the prefect choice to look after my 1 year old daughter. Bonnie provides a safe, fun, clean, family environment. Lilly loves the arts and crafts, soft play outings, and all the toys available. Bonnie always communicates with us, sending updates throughout the day and also providing development updates and next steps so we all know what milestones we are working towards. It is like a home from home for Lilly and she always comes home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for you kind words . It’s been a real pleasure having Lilly in the setting.
Once we met Bonnie for the first time we knew she was the one /parental instinct. She is so lovely, warm, kind, funny, caring and thoughtful and she is just wonderful with kids. Our little girl loved her from the very first day. She absolutely loves going to her house and see other children , her friends. Bonnie looked after our baby girl since she was one year old and we couldn’t be more happier and grateful. The best choice ever. Bonnie is very good at keeping in touch throughout the day to inform us about the activities , lunch time, nap time , walks, play - so comforting to know how our little one is doing each day.
We are very grateful, happy and we hope Bonnie will be available to look after our next baby in the future as she is definitely the best 🙏🏻💜
