I took my little one to see sue and she was amazing, she has everything covered! I felt very welcomed and my little one who was shy at first soon came around which inwas very suprised. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, caring childminder in the area. I think you get a feeling about a person when you meet them and its all positive for sue. My little one after our visit commented "i liked that lady" and that was just from a short meeting.

Cannot fault Sue at all, as soon as our little boy walked through the door he felt so at home. He’s developed so much in the short time he’s been there and we feel so comfortable and happy leaving him in sue’s care (such a warm homely environment, so many activities, healthy food, daily updates). We feel so lucky to have found her! Would recommend her to anyone looking for 5* childcare.
Thank you so much Sue!

Both my girls have been in Sue's care over the last year and half. I couldn't ask for a more caring and supportive childminder. My eldest loves going to her childminders and spending time with the other children. She has opportunity to play with a wide age range get involved in physical, creative and sensory activities. I know my girls are happy and well cared for, while I'm working. Sue has been great at accommodating changes hours and emergency childcare.

My son has been attending sue’s childminding every day Monday to Friday for the past year and he absolutely loves it. He is so happy to see her and they have a lovely relationship which I couldn’t be more grateful for because I know my son is cared for and is safe in Sue’s care. Truly a home away from home. My son has dietary needs which sue completely supports me, my partner and my son with which makes life so much easier for us. Sue is extremely helpful, caring, compassionate and flexible, all the qualities we were looking for when looking for a childminder over a year ago. My son has learnt so much and is encouraged with his learning too.
Thanks for everything Sue!

Me, my partner and son met Sue today and her daughter. Her home is lovely and warm, extremely child friendly with plenty of art work on display. My partner and I love Sue and can not wait for our son to start in the very near future. Sue has been so helpful and extremely flexible. It was so lovely to see her interact with my son also and we really liked her warm approach towards him. She really has put my mind at ease returning to work and we are looking forward to working with her
