Due to our family circumstances, i needed to go back to work after just six months, so finding a childminder who was going to be able to provide my child with the care and attention she would receive at home was paramount.

Meeting Dawn was exactly why we knew not sending our daughter to nursery at 6mths was the right thing. She has cared for our daughter like she was her own. Updates are regular and detailed. Her husband makes the children’s food from scratch and it is varied and nutritional and our daughter loves it. She teaches impeccable manners and how to be kind, loving and caring which is SO important to us.

We have met a long term friend in Dawn. Other than grandparents, there really is no one else we would entrust our child with. She loves her, we love her and whilst we know moving our child to nursery is the right thing for her social development as she prepares for school next year, it has been the hardest decision as we know we will have to compromise on many things.

Any parents who choose Dawn to care and look after their child will be making the absolute right decision.

Whilst we will miss our daughter being with her daily, we know we will retain contact for years to come.
