Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for pansypotters. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
I cannot recommend Donna and Warren highly enough. From the first time meeting them both reassurance was given and my little girl is super happy whilst there.
Donna and Warren go above and beyond to provide a safe, fun and homely environment for children and offer updates throughout the day which gives piece of mind and the ability to check in.
Theres no need to look for another childminding service because you've found the perfect one right here!!

Thankyou so much Hannah xx
I visited a number of different settings and made the decision to send my 1 year old son to a setting at the opposite end of Lincoln to where we live, just because I was confident he would be happy and well cared for.
From day one they have provided my child with exceptional care and it felt like he was an extension of their family.
They run a wholesome home and I can say I am so sad that my son is leaving and this is only to enable him to transition to nursery and pre-school.
I would recommend Donna and Warren to anyone looking for childcare within Lincoln. Thank you both so much

Thankyou so much we already miss Carter and wish you the best for the future xx
Our daughter has been going to Donna since she was 9 months old. She is now nearly 5. She took some time to settle with being so young. However Donna and Warren were understanding and really helpful to us during that time. Whether it's a water fight with Warren or baking with Donna our daughter is really happy at their house. This is a genuine, caring place where they go above and beyond. It is a home away from home setting. Our daughter has learnt so much from Donna and Warren including ,counting, writing and life skills. The activities vary all the time to keep the children engaged.

We sent our boy to Donna and Warren 18 months ago after being left in the lurch by a previous unreliable childminder.
Our son took time to settle as he's a shy boy but Donna and Warren were very understanding and patient, which in turn has brought him out of his shell big time.
He's loved going here and didn't want to leave on his last day such was the extent he enjoyed it.
He loved playing with the dogs and was always coming home with paintings, and stories about what he got up to.
Thank you Donna and Warren we will miss bringing our son to you and you've prepared him very well for nursery!

My son was with Donna and Warren for 2 years and enjoyed every second of his time there. They’re attentive, caring and professional and always go above and beyond with the children. It’s a lovely homely environment and we always loved our son coming home with stories of his day whether it was playing, going to the park, learning, painting, drawing and the baked goods were amazing too! They were always flexible and understanding around my working hours and will go above and beyond even having my older child on occasion too (which she loved!)
Thankyou Donna and Warren for everything you did for our boy, and as he goes to school he will miss coming to see you each morning and so will I!
100% recommended to anyone!
