When I started to think about putting my first daughter into childcare I knew I wanted her to go somewhere where she wouldn’t just be looked after but where she would be loved. From our first settling in day with Suzanne I knew that’s how Brea would be treated, it’s as though she’s a part of the family. We drop her off and she barely notices us at the door, running straight in to join the fun and when we pick her up it’s clear she’s left no stone unturned. When we get in the car to go anywhere she asks if she’s going to Suzanne’s! I love that Suzanne keeps us updated with the private Facebook group too with plenty of pictures and tells us exactly what they’ve been up to! Plus for every occasion Brea comes home with something she’s made that day - our fridge is covered! I can’t thank Suzanne enough for loving our little girl as much as she does!

We cannot recommend Suzanne highly enough. My eldest started with Suzanne in primary 1 for before and after school care and quickly settled in, she loves Suzanne and her family. The older children were great at keeping an eye out for her and saying hello in the dinner hall. It's like a wee extended family. When no.2 came along we opted for Suzanne as a childminder instead of nursery and he joined at 10 months old. He loves going to Suzanne's and has a great bond with her and the other children. Suzanne does such a wide variety of activities with the kids, I've no idea where she gets the energy. Her house is spotlessly clean and she has robust process in place which has been reassuring during covid.

My son has been with Suzanne since he was a year old he's now three. He immediately settled in well with Suzanne and her family and has loved every day spent with her.
Suzanne provides a safe, nurturing home environment and plenty of opportunities to play and learn. She regularly takes the children out for walks, trips to the parks and other activities including fun day trips during holidays.
Suzanne and her family have always been so welcoming and accommodating to our son, we couldn't be more thankful of the support we have recieved.
During COVID Suzanne did what she needed to to continue providing a safe environment and maintained a high standard of childcare through a difficult time.

Although my youngest initally found it hard being away from me, she is now very settled and happy little girl at Suzanne's with my eldest. Her face lights up when she sees Suzanne. She enjoys all the activities which Suzanne does with the kids from gardening to baking.

Overall
Both my boys (now 2 and nearly 5) have been going to Suzanne's for the past year and she's been great for our family.
We had initial selling issues with the youngest but this came at covid time so wasn't surprising as he hadn't been left with anyone really at a year old. Suzanne did so much to help him settle and to reassure us and was in touch through the day.
Suzanne does so many different activities with the kids from play in the house, learning, time in the garden and great days out over the holidays that they are always keen to go. The rest of Suzanne's family are also great with the boys making it a real home from home environment.
