My son has been with Becky for nearly 2 years now and she is fantastic. She's kind, clean,and friendly. Her home is more welcomed and neat. My son has learnt a lot from her which really reflect when he comes to the house. She's got a nice playing area for the kids in her house and takes the kids to play group, park and sometimes to Zoe and farm. It has been very nice working with her because it's not everyone you can trust and leave your child with.

Becky is a lovely childminder who is great with children. I have seen my two years old daughter improving her language skills significantly. They seem to be having fun time together and I like that they are going out often. My daughter really likes spending time with her and I feel that she is safe and loved when she is with Becky.

Choosing to work and leave your children with someone is never an easy thing. Finding Becky has been a godsend. She is amazing with my children. My son even asks to go to her on a weekend. Some nights he cries for her when we leave. He is 2.5yrs old. He's been with Becky for about 9 months now.
She has been so supportive and accommodating always. My sons speech and knowledge and identification of shapes, colors, vehicles etc has improved dramatically since being with her. I feel that he actually learns something every day and doesn't only play. They are always doing activities and going out. He really loves it with her.
I couldn't be happier or trust someone to take care of my children more than Becky. She has been truly amazing with them and they love her to bits.

After a shakey start with another childminder we met Becky and just knew that my daughter liv would love going to her. She instantly made us feel at ease and my daughter instantly took to her. They are always doing fun exciting activities and liv has come on leaps and bounds even when they are not out and about they will be getting up to all sorts of adventures at Becky's beautiful home and liv has adopted Becky's family as her own which is just lovely. Going to work and leaving your children is always worrying but I can honestly say that since starting with Becky we have not shed one tear in the mornings and liv is waiting at the door ready to go before I am! Really couldn't be happier and I know while I'm out at work my daughter is happy, safe, entertained and getting second to none care and as a mum I couldn't ask for more :))

Becky looks after my 2 and 5 year old boys after school and during school holidays. They love it and sometimes complain when i pick them up because im too early. My youngest is very clingy but has settled really well. Brilliant. Im very happy.

My Daughter Olivia is 2 and has been going to Becky for over 3 months and I have already seen a great improvment in Olivia's speech and skills. Becky was the first and only Childminder I met for Olivia, from the first time I met her I knew that Olivia would be 'Happy & Safe' in her care and from the beginning I felt happy and content that whilst I was at work she was having a great time.
Olivia has so much fun at Beckys and cant wait to wave me out the door so she can play. Olivia used to be very shy and clingy before i took her to Becky and now she feels safe enough to leave my side. Olivia loves Becky and her family and always comes home saying all there names.
Becky writes down all Olivia's activities for the day so i can take home everyday and have a read on what Olivia has been up to. i would recommend Becky to anyone she is a very trustworthy, lovely and caring person i could not fault her at all. x
