Choosing a childminder is a minefield; we only want the absolute best for our children and want to be sure that they will be in safe, secure hands. That, for me, is Honey.

Honey is professional, knowledgeable, warm and has an amazing way with children. She looked after our daughter for 4 years and it was so endearing to observe the relationship flourish over the years. Our daughter felt at home in Honey's setting and genuinely felt like part of the extended family.

Honey provided our daughter with full time care and then wrap around care, undertaking nursery drop off and pickups and the transition was seamless. Regardless of the hours our daughter spent within Honey's setting, Honey made the time count with plenty of fun activities, interesting trips, learning, healthy eating and much needed structure.

Honey genuinely cares about the children in her care and often goes that extra mile; during lockdown Honey maintained contact with the parents via an online group, allowing the children to stay in touch, which our daughter cherished. She also arranged a parent workshop about children's dental hygiene and a park meeting, ensuring the government's Covid guidelines were strictly adhered to. Honey basically provided the glue that kept parents and children connected, at a time when there was so much uncertainty around. Moreover, she was under no obligation to do so, which is why I'd say that Honey is first class and I would highly recommend her childcare service.
