The absolute best!

Maddie has been caring for our son for two and a half years, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found a space for him with her. She has been gentle, compassionate, thoughtful, and intelligent, always generous with her time and full of insight into what is going on with him. She is clearly an expert in early years development and uses this knowledge to facilitate an environment in which children can thrive. It has been amazing to be able to talk through our son’s various phases and stages with her, and she is always a calm and reassuring presence. She takes them on outings to the forest, beach, farms, National Trust gardens, playgrounds, etc., which makes the week varied and exciting for them. She provides a creative and healthy array of home-cooked meals and snacks, which is amazing! She also gets the children involved in cooking soups, scones, etc. They pay close attention to nature, and as well as frequent nature walks where they observe the local wildlife, they learn poems and songs that reflect the seasons. We honestly could not recommend Maddie enough; she is a wonderful childminder!
