Thank you Tendai, its a pleasure taking care of your lovely happy children, they have adapted so well to their new lives here in England.
Bernie has been brilliant since we chose her, my little boy is happy and enjoys the different things he gets to do. She is reliable and is very accommodating. Her husband Tom helps out from time to time and I can't fault them. Absolutely recommended

Thank you Kassie, Charlie is a pleasure!
We had to find another childminder quite quickly when ours was moving up north. Bernie was so accommodating and was happy to move things around so that our little girl could attend. They are ALWAYS out and about which I love and Freya is learning all about the rules of being safe near roads as well as days of the week and the weather - all at 2 years old! Bernie is a great cook and provides lovely home cooked meals for the children. Her husband Tom always makes our daughter feel very welcome as well and they have a lovely dog called Albert who is amazing with children. Only the worst rain will stop them all going out and even then there is a big playroom with lots of activities and arts and crafts to keep them entertained. Overall I would highly recommend Bernie and Tom if you are looking for a new childminder.

Thank you Liv. We love our little Freya joining us x
We initially chose a childminder over a nursery as our son wasn’t very confident in meeting new people and we wanted a family like setting for him to grow in. Bernie arranged several sessions of various lengths for Toby to meet her and become familiar with her before starting. The time Bernie took shows how caring and kind she is and how important all the children in her care are to her. Toby has settled extremely well and has become much more confident in the 7 months he has been there. He enjoys the trips to the parks but also enjoys all the hands on sessions, painting, crafting and cooking. I would highly recommend Bernie especially if you are looking for someone who is kind and nurturing. Toby is very happy there.
Bernie’s husband Tom also takes our daughter to school three mornings a week which is great. Our daughter also goes to Bernie’s during half terms and loves her ‘craft days’ as she calls them.
