Arbitrary Cancellation

1 stars

We needed a one-off pick-up and the childminder doubled the price without any mutual agreement and failed to provide the full contract, policies and procedures months after commencing childminding responsibilities. Abrupt and sarcastic at times. Not abiding by own policy as per holiday entitlement.

I was desperately looking for childcare at the beginning of the year 2020. Found Excelling Kids on this website. Viv answered me very quickly and was available to look after my 3 months old baby girl. Viv is just excellent with kids: professionnal and careful, full of love and radiant!! I can only recommand her.

Oh wow! thank you Felicite; it was an absolute pleasure having your baby, and thank you for entrusting her in our care.

Great Childcare Experience

5 stars

We've got an 18-month old girl, during Covid-19 we became registered as Key Workers and so needed somebody to step in and provide childcare for our little girl.

Viv was excellent in taking her up on short notice and provided superb childcare with regular photos and updates showing all the fun activities that filled every day. Highly recommend Viv to anybody else looking for childcare services.

Thanks Viv!
