I was that nervous mother who had only had family looking after my child. When we walked into Victoria's house, both my children went to play straight away. They felt comfortable in her presence and home. Her set up is built for children and Victoria herself is extremely loving, friendly, oozes warmth that both the children and parents respond to. I never worry about my child when in Victorias care because she looks after her with the utmost professionalism. Your child will thrive with her and you will be forever greatful, as I am, to have found a childminder as great as her.

Victoria is a great childminder. She's very flexible with parents, her communication is clear and she is very responsive. She works hard to ensure she provides a good service. She is friendly and easy to get along with. She's warm with the kids and our son absolutely adores her. She offers pick ups and drops to your home which was a bonus when we had a newborn and weren't too keen to take her out too much particularly with the whole covid-19 crisis.
Her setting is nice and there is a good amount of space for the kids to play. She does a range of activities with the kids; before Covid she used to take the kids to lots of groups, post lockdown she often takes the kids to the local park and/or does activities in her garden.
I couldn't recommend her enough. We are very happy with the service we receive and our son looks forward to going to her setting daily.
