Louise has been our daughter’s childminder since she was 5 months old. We chose to opt for a childminder rather a nursery because she was so young, and we wanted her be in a home from home setting. We looked at a number of childminders but Louise stood out from the crowd. My daughter now 10years old still opts to go to Louise’s in holidays. We have known her - where children have fallen behind at school - to set up and work with them to help them to achieve more. Her emphasis on preparing children to be ready for school is invaluable. Play is structured to enable learning whilst having fun. Activities are varied and creative. There is no onesize fits all - her approach is individual to a child's needs and abilities. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She has been wonderful to us and is well recognised locally as a trainer / supporter of other childminders
