Noreen has been my daughter’s childminder since July 2023, and we have been very pleased with the care she provides. My daughter, who is 3 years old, always looks forward to spending time with her and comes home full of stories about her day. Noreen is caring, kind, and very attentive to my daughter’s needs.

They do a variety of lovely activities, including attending a playgroup session on a Wednesday, visits to the local park after the school pick up, where my daughter enjoys playing with other children from different childminders. Noreen also spends time reading educational books with the children, encouraging her learning and curiosity.

My daughter loves participating in craft activities organised by Noreen; these are often themed around the seasons, such as sticking autumn leaves onto paper. She also enjoys painting, as well as playing with educational toys like blocks, counting games, and magnets.

We have noticed that my daughter always remembers her manners and has made good progress with her number skills and drawing. Noreen is very well-organised – my daughter never loses her hair clips or any of her belongings, which reflects how much care and attention Noreen puts into her setting. Noreen cooks nutritious and varied meals for her, they are always healthy.

We are very happy with the care Noreen provides. She is warm, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. We would definitely recommend her to other parents seeking a reliable and nurturing childminder.
