Mrsbligh

Part of the family

My daughter has been with Hayley since she was 6 months old and was immediately welcomed.
I can’t fault the effort and care Hayley puts in.
She makes sure our daughter has everything she needs! She will be sad to start school and leave Hayley and so will we. If we hadn’t moved from the area she would continue before and after school care with Hayley.
Hayley has taken them on days out, drop offs and pick ups at preschool and had my daughter to sleepover. She has taught our daughter so much.
She is massively flexible which has been a great help along the way. I would recommend Hayley 100%. I could go on and on about what a great support she’s been and how much she’s cared for her. I never have to worry about her whilst I’m at work and she loves it.

Firstly thank you for your review ☺️
Secondly I will be very sorry to say goodbye not only to your daughter but all of you as you have all been very much part of the family for almost 4 yrs. I wish you all the best for your next big adventure of starting “ big school “ and I’m sure we will keep in touch with lots of play dates.

A real mother's and father's help

Hayley looked after our daughter for 12 months from the age of 10 months. She was unfailingly cheerful and wonderfully flexible during that time. Our daughter was always comfortable with Hayley and her family and we found her support vital when we returned to work. I would happily recommend Mrs Bligh's childminding services.

A very good minder for my daughter

I did not know what to expect when I went back to work after a 2 and a half year break, I had never been away from my 2 year old daughter lizzie nor she with me.

To say I did not know what to expect was an underestimation.

I did not to be nervous, Hayley's approach is 2nd to none she fills out a diary everyday so I can see what Lizzies day has been like and what she has been doing which is varied varied.

Lizzie feels really comfortable with hayley and I feel reassured that she is in good hands and she has only been with hayley one week.

I made the right choice in choosing hayley to look after my daughter whilst working. Thank you Hayley

Thank you so much for your kind words, it is a pleasure to have Lizzie she is so full of life and a great character to be around. I am enjoying watching Lizzie becoming a social butterfly with the other children. I'm glad you chose me as I am so happy to be part of your little girls life xx

Outstanding Childminder!

I was more than nervous at the thought of moving my husband and 16 month old daughter down to Northampton for a short term contract I had been offered. I was terrified at the thought of sorting childcare for my little one in a new town away from family etc. When I went to see Mrs Bligh (Hayley) I was instantly put at ease and we went through a typical day that my daughter could expect with her as well as all certificates and Oftsed reports that she had
The first day I left Lola, she was a little teary and when I pulled up to work, I got my phone to send a text to see how she was doing and I had one already, telling me how Lola was. All that day, I was able to text and more often than not, I had a text waiting for me, such a reassurance.
Lola has been with Hayley several weeks now and all my family in Yorkshire comment on her rapid development in speech, social skills etc.
What makes me feel good is when we pull up outside the house, Lola is excited to go in and often reaches for Hayley to pick her up. I also get a daily report in a diary for Lola and myself, hubby and grandparents love reading it as we get to know what she has eaten, who she has played with, where she has been and what her favourite toy/book of the day was
Hayley's rates are amazing and I don't even need to provide milk!!
Lola and us will really really miss Hayley when we have to move back to Yorkshire.... THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. Lola was able to settle well due to the great communication between us, as we all want the very best for such a special little girl. I will truly miss Lola and you and your husband when you return to Yorkshire as will my family and all the other children and parents within my setting. We still have four months for lots of fun and learning ahead ( can't wait for Christmas time activities ) but when the time comes I will be very sad to lose Lola, please keep in touch. Hayley x
