Brenda has looked after both of my children and wouldn't send them to anyone else. Brenda started looking after my little girl when she was around 2 and then when I had my little boy she looked after him from about 6-7 month old as I had to return to work. they are looked after so well and I feel at ease that they are being looked after while I am at work. after hearing some quite bad reviews about other child-minders in the area i am so glad i chose Brenda to look after my children. They are always happy to go to her and always happy. they go out on day trips and always doing lots of activities. would definitely recommend Brenda if anyone else is looking for childcare :)

Brenda began caring for my son when he was only weeks old. It was daunting the thought of leaving my new baby with anybody other than myself! However, I felt very relaxed leaving him with Brenda so that I could complete my academic year at university, I trusted he was in best hands! And I was right.
I found Brenda to be very understanding and flexible with me as my lecture times would change from week to week and Brenda never let me down.
She is incredibly trustworthy, my son absolutely loved spending time with Brenda and the other children she cared for during the time, there were times he didn’t even want to come home!
I was given a daily record of times of feeds, nappies changes etc which was great to have too.
I’d recommend Brenda to anybody. Without her I’d never of been able to graduate, my partner and I appreciate everything she did for us. Thank you.
