Rosie has been looking after my 3 yr old son for a while now. His development has come on leaps and bounds. Her incredibly kind and caring nurture really shows. Rosie is so supportive to me as a parent too. Supporting with potty training and helping to teach life skills such as dressing, talking etc. The potty training for sure, I'd of struggled to do without her help and support and my son cracked it super quickly. So thank you!
Rosie provides nutritious breakfasts and snacks throughout the day and always has lovely activities set for the children. My son is always happy to go and can't wait to tell me about the things he did.
I am so so grateful for Rosie. And will be very sad when the time comes for my son to move up on his next journey.
Highly recommend!

Rosie looks after my 3 year old son, Me and my partner couldn't ask for a better childminder. Rosie is excellent at her job, my son always has positive stories to tell me after his time with Rosie. she's creates so much hands on arts and crafts for the kids to enjoy and learn with. Rosie as a person is very polite and kind and genuinely a lovely person. I'm so happy with how my son is progressing under her care and would highly recommend Rosie for childminding.

We literally could not ask for more from Rosie, she is an absolutely fantastic childminder and she has such a natural way with the kids. She is kind, calm, patient, and always prioritises the children's well-being. My 2 year old son is so happy with her and always comes back from childcare with stories of what he and his friends have been up to that day. Rosie takes the Early Years Foundation Stage framework extremely seriously and has age appropriate activities or outings planned for the children every day including nature walks, messy play and crafts to name just a few. She also gives us activities to complete at home to help support our little boy's development and independence, and is even in the process of setting up a toy library so that the children can have some different toys to play with from time to time. She provides breakfast, and healthy snacks in the morning and afternoon, and has a box for each of the children so that we can provide a stash of nappies, wipes, spare clothes and other essentials to stay at her house. This has absolutely transformed our mornings as with our previous provider we were running around getting multiple bags ready every morning to make sure that our little boy he had everything he needed. Now we can drop him off with his packed lunch and know that everything else is taken care of.
In summary we are incredibly lucky to have Rosie taking care of our little one, and I could not recommend her highly enough. She really has thought of everything and the kids and the parents all love her. Anybody would be lucky to have the peace of mind of knowing your child is being fantastically cared for by Rosie.

Rosie looks after my two children and I have nothing but good things to say about her. My son is severely autistic and she is amazing with him, making sure he is included while knowing when and how to regulate him when necessary. Both kids love going there and have so much fun when they are with her. It really is a home away from home and as a single mum I can relax and work knowing that they are safe and happy. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her she is awesome and I would highly recommend her to any parents of either neurotypical or SEN children. Thank you for everything Rosie.

Rosie looks after my 9 months old baby boy. I was so anxious at the idea of leaving him but Rosie has given me soo much reassurance and support that the anxiety quickly reduced if not disappeared. Drop off is the easiest thing, little one wants to go to her and is happy to stay. He participates in so many fun activities and feels happy and secure. Rosie keeps you updated and informed, she encourages independence but will also provide needed levels of support and comfort! The children in her care get to play and learn all day with fun developmentally friendly activities. She takes in to account interests, likes and dislikes and provides age appropriate activities for all.
Highly recommend Rosie!

My twin boys (2.5 years) go to Rosie 2 days a week and they absolutely love it! There are developmental activities always placed out on arrival, interactive games, garden fun and so much more. I have noticed a change in the boys development already since being with her, saying new words and doing new things. She also offers so much support to me as a parent with giving me the confidence to try new things and how to set routines/boundaries etc. I also really appreciate the daily update of picture/videos of what there doing, food they have eaten, general behaviour. Rosie has been a life line that I didn’t no I needed, we really appreciate her and everything she does. The boys love their time with you. Thank you ☺️
