Memorable Years

What a lovely Childminder !!

Noreen has been an absolute blessing for my toddler, and I can’t thank her enough! From day one, she’s treated him like family, almost like an aunty. She’s got this amazing ability to turn every day into a fun adventure. Whether it’s heading out to the park, going to playgroups, or just finding cool activities, my little one is always excited about what they’re going to do next. What I love most is how caring and warm she is. Noreen really creates a genuinely loving space where my son feels safe and happy. I’m so grateful for everything she does, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a fantastic childminder! Noreen is truly one of a kind!

Amazing and caring childminder!

Noreen looked after my son since he was 9 month old and till 2 years old. She was the first childminder he had, and I was a first time young mum who worries about everything. So quite picky. I was so happy I made this choice. He settled so well. He was so happy to be at her place/setting. I felt about Noreen as she is a part of our family. I really can’t recommend her enough!

Highly recommended, fantastic childminder

My son was into Noreen's care for a year and a half and we could not believe how lucky we were to find her! Our son was immediately at ease with her, you can tell she loves looking after the kids in her care! We loved that she not only offered the cosy, caring, warm small setting care in her home but also took the children to playgroups everyday so they could interact with other children and chilminders which made the transition to nursery for our son as smooth as it could have been - he had developed so well in her care and had been exposed to so many different activities and developed so many skills. We also were thankful for her flexibility and we loved that she also does babysitting which relieved us from the stress of finding a different babysitter when we needed one, we have Noreen whom we trust and our son loves. She continues babysitting our son and does the occasional pick up and drop off for us, she's just amazing! We just had our second child and we will entrust his care to Noreen as well!

Wonderful childminder, highly recommended!

I am very happy to write a reference for Noreen - she has been a wonderful childminder to my two boys, aged 5 and 2, for the past two years. I have no hesitation in recommending her very highly. She is warm, loving and affectionate and my boys absolutely adore her and look forward to their time with her (my youngest is with her for three full days a week and my oldest, two evenings a week after school). She has a brilliant and continually expanding range of toys, a super garden and she makes sure the children’s experiences with her are not only safe and stable but also full of enriching, creative activities. The children get to visit other settings with her too including groups, parks/playgrounds and other childminders homes for varied and fun activities. They have also secured some lovely friendships. As parents we have massively appreciated her responsiveness and flexibility - she does all pick ups and drop offs to our home and readily swaps days if our work commitments change. We will all be very sad to say goodbye to Noreen but we leave with the knowledge of how much she has contributed to my boys’ development and happiness.

Exceptional and caring childcare

Noreen looked after my daughter after school from reception trhough to year 5. She provided exceptionally caring and fun childcare, a nurturing and supportive environment and plenty of fun things to do. My daughter enjoyed going there throughout her time and I always knew she was receiving the best childcare possible. Noreen is also very flexible with drop offs and pick up arrangements and went way above and beyond to provide support. I can't recommend her highly enough.
