Philippa is an amazing childminder! She has taken care of my little boy for two years now, and when he started with Pippa, he was a shy and unsure in new situations. Now he is a happy, secure, confident three year old who is ready to start pre-school.

Philippa is kind and caring but quietly professional and structured in the care she provides. The three little boys she currently cares for are full of energy and fun, and Pippa ensures they are stimulated and have a great day, every day, through a variety of outings each morning, such as playgroup, farm tots, and craft days at the playbarn. Each afternoon is filled with activities like gardening, baking, crafts and imaginative play. Every festival is celebrated, from Christmas to Chinese New Year and Australia Day, with crafts or foods relevant to the occasion. My little boy comes home with all manner of crafts and tasty treats!

Philippa also takes the children on outings regularly to the park or playbarn, but also to Chester Zoo, the Cheshire Show and 'Monkey World'! They have a much more varied and interesting time than being in a nursery setting, but have the benefits of playing with lots of other children at playgroups etc.

Pippa is extremely flexible and accommodating, which is very important as working parents. We have never had a single worry or problem in the whole two years we have known Pippa, and are happy that our precious baby girl will also be joining Pippa and the gang soon!

Pippa and her lovely family have become part of our extended family and I can't recommend her highly enough!
