Finding a trustworthy person to look after my son was not an easy job, I have met with few childminders before we found Andrea. She was very attentive, warm and professional, and my son instantly warmed up to her. I had no reservations when my second son also started attending when he turned 1.
Both boys were very happy in Andrea’s care, they were always out and about on activities, visiting the zoo, the library, toddlers groups and various activities organised by Andrea.
Andrea prepared home cooked nutritional and balanced meals for the boys who thoroughly enjoyed her cooking. We needed to relocate but the boys still talk fondly about Andrea to this day and ask to go visit.
Can’t recommend Andrea highly enough. The best childminder my children ever had.

My daughter has been going to Andrea for 2 years now. Everyday she comes home and is so excited to tell me about her day as she has had so much fun. Andrea is always out and about doing activities. If you want a childminder who truly cares and loves what she does, then Andrea is for you. She is passionate and always wants the best for the children she looks after.

My daughter was 18months when she started and she is still there now!! Andrea provides a home away from home. My daughter sees Andrea and her daughters as a second family. The way she cares for each child she looks after is outstanding. She is so proactive and always has a busy day planned to keep them all entertained. Very rarely do they ever stay at home. She cooks nutritious meals which they all love. Andrea is trustworthy, professional and interacts amazingly with all the children. It is really great to see how happy my little girl is to the point she doesn't want to leave. I 100% recommend Andrea to anyone looking for childcare.

Andrea looked after my daughter for 4 years, with school pick ups, holidays as needed and extra babysitting. She is kind and caring, always looking to do new and interesting things with the kids in her setting, flexible and understanding with parents and an excellent cook. My daughter has always seen her and her kids as a family away from home and I would recommend her to parents looking for care with kids of any age.

Andrea was looking after my son for 4 years and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is amazing with kids and I have been very lucky to have her looking after my son. Andrea is professional, has high standards and provides thorough communication home. My son loved going there and will miss her dearly. She does plenty of arts and crafts with the children and happily takes the children out to local parks, zoo, play areas etc. We have now relocated and will be very difficult to find an equal replacement.
Thank you Andrea for all your support through the years!
