We have lots of days out in the school holidays, making each day fun and stimulating.

Dawn looked after our daughter for over 4 years - before and after school and school holidays. She provided excellent care and my daughter always looked forward to spending time with her.
She had fun and was kept busy and entertained with lots of activities, crafts and games. She was made to feel part of the family. Dawn was always so helpful and accommodating and I was 100% confident that my daughter was receiving the best care and attention. I couldn’t have wished for a better childminder to look after my daughter and I would highly recommend her services to all.

Dawn has cared for my 8 year old for just over 3 years after school and during the school holidays. Dawn has always been flexible when she has capacity to, which has been great over the school holidays and at times, during the week. There has always been excellent communication and reinforcing boundaries when needed. Thank you!

Dawn is absolutely amazing, she looked after my 2.5 year old and my 9 month year old. They warmed to Dawn straight away and they were both very happy there. There were hardly any tears and if there were Dawn knew exactly what to do. I loved that we had a detailed daily diary of how the children were, what they got up to and what they ate etc. The children were well entertained and Dawn also took them out to places like the park and a phonics class.
I would highly recommend Dawn to any parent as she is a friendly, warm person and my children absolutely adored her.

Having been a childminder myself for over 14 years I was looking for the perfect match for my children when I returned to a job where I would need before and after school help and also the odd days in the holidays !
Well Dawn has done all this and more, she has cared for my boys like I would and given them such a great experience with learning,
From Pick up and drop off of my youngest to helping the transition of one of my elder ones with secondary who has Autism.
I have used Dawn for over 4 years now and sometimes even when I least expect it she still surprises my boys with fun days out and she’s always equipped for any eventuality.
I seriously don’t think I could do the job I do if I didn’t have her in our life’s
100% recommend Dawn as you get that real professional relationship alongside your children getting the caring and nurturing side Of a home from home environment.
