A lovely warm setting, my daughter gets excited to go there and breaks into a massive grin at the door (sometimes I think she doesn’t want to come home!). Ashley and her team are brilliant, cannot praise them enough. My daughter has mobility issues and they have been patient, kind and caring and given my daughter the additional support and input needed. My daughter brings hime lovely pictures and arts and crafts, the activities she does there are fantastic and the outings she is taken on are just amazing and interesting. Thoroughly recommend Ashley and her team.

I needed to send my little boy to daycare from 10 months old in order to return to work as a teacher; and in the middle of a pandemic! This was obviously very stressful, but I was SO glad I had chosen Crouch End Childminders. They made sure that my little boy had settling in sessions and very quickly put my mind at ease that he was in excellent hands. It is brilliant to drop your child off somewhere that feels like home rather than a big organisation. In addition they take the children on lovely day trips and have fantastic provisions and staff. It is lovely to see a smile on your child’s face every time you collect them at the end of the day. Highly recommended.

Our daughter joined Ashley and team at age 2, she absolutely loved it and still fondly talks about ‘Ashley’s House’ and the team there. Ashley has so many interactive activities for them - making and painting according to different times of the year and different themes and religions it’s just so lovely. They have such a gorgeous setting with so many different toys and tables of exciting things for the little ones to get involved with. Things in water, clay, paint, play doh - endless things. Our daughter always came back talking about the stories, songs (and breadsticks!) plus the added bonus of going on trips out to playgroups, parks and the zoo! We loved ‘Ashley’s House’ for our daughter she absolutely thrived there and it set her up socially to go to school nursery.

One of the best things that ever happened to us was finding Crouch end Childminders. We knew the second we walked in that this was the place for our son. The house is full of warmth, love and lots and lots of cuddles.
Over the last year we have seen our son grow from a baby to a confident toddler full of wonderful and considerate habits. And we have Ashley, Isin, Uzlum and Amy to thank for this. They are all absolutely wonderful and we can’t imagine a better place for our son to spend his days.
It warms our hearts to see Kai run in happily every morning and come out in the evening giggling and laughing. Thank you for giving Kai a lovely home away from home!

My son has been at Ashley’s since he’s 12 months old (he’s 17 months now) and we couldn’t have made a better choice. The settling in was gentle, we were able to come for several settling in sessions not just the 1-2 days offered most of the other childminders and nurseries we looked at. The setting a warm, welcoming family home with a great garden, but it’s a also like a small nursery in that there are two assistants working with Ashley (they are always the same, Isin and Uzlum) and they have a really worked out theme each week with a range of activities, rhyme time and outings planned for each day. The daily outings to the zoo, city farms, parks, playgrounds and playgroups are fantastic for the kids. The meals are nutritious and my son loves the food, routinely eating double portions.
He runs to the frontdoor each morning, excited to see Ashley, Isin and his baby friends, and comes back happy.

Our daughter has been going to Ashley, Isin and team for over a year, since she was 11 months old, and absolutely loves it there. It feels like a mini nursery but with the advantage of lots of attention, care and cuddles for each child. They use an online system called Tapestry to record developments and progress, as well as to share photos, which is great. There are also themed activities, great outings, including regular trips to London Zoo! and home cooked, varied meals.
Our daughter is two now and has definitely become much more sociable and confident as a result of going to the childminder. She has made friends with other children who she is excited to see each day. She doesn't look back when we drop her off and, when we pick her up, she has clearly had a wonderful time! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend our experience.
