My Summary
About Me
We are a Mother and Daughter childminding setting caring for children from 3 months to 8 years. We believe that children learn more through play experiences such as fun games and activities. Aside from activities in our home and garden we also visit local places such as parks and the library. We believe that all of our work as childminders should be child centred so that we can put their needs and interests first. In our setting we enjoy doing arts and crafts, cooking and outdoor games.
Every child in our care will be welcomed into our home from home setting and provided with homemade and nutritious meals from a Nut and Egg free environment.
We do our school pick ups from Alderton primary school and Thomas Willingale school and nursery.

Vanesa and Olivia is an experienced childminders who puts children at the heart of everything. We have had Vanesa and Olivia for a year now and from the first day, my son was in love with they and didn’t want to go home! They are very loving; treats the kids as if they were there own. They engages children in many activities and provides them with home-cooked meals of their choice. They are very sensitive to how the kids are feeling. They are very trustworthy and reliable. Vanesa upholds strong values, honesty and integrity. As a mother, I couldn’t wish for better care for my child. I look forward to having Vanesa and Olivia next year too and would highly recommend to anyone.

My little
One started with nessa and Olivia and he has loved every day, such a welcoming environment. The kindness and care given to him every day is amazing. He constantly talks about them and wanting to go every morning. They always keep him busy with games and activities which he loves. They also keep us updated with photos and videos throughout the days which is lovely and makes us feel at ease with him in their care :) could not recommend enough the best people around !
