Ness is a lovely lady who has looked after my daughter for the last couple of years, my daughter adores Ness and loves going to her house which is very welcoming and is a very child friendly environment. They are always going out places to the park, beaches, farms etc and my daughter has come on a long way with her learning since being with her. 10/10 recommend x

Aww thanks so much Zoe that is a lovely review, i love having Indie too. xx
Vanessa has looked after my children ranging from when they were 6 months up to 9 years old. Vanessa has supported the educational, emotional, and social development of all my children and she means so much to our family. We are sadly relocating and I so wish we could take Vanessa with us. Xx

Thank you for your kind review Beatie, we will be up to visit for sure. xx
Ness is a fantastic childminder for my 5 year old daughter and 10 year old son. The both look forward to going to her house and I could not recommend her highly enough. Her house is welcoming and my children feel completely at home. She reads with them after school and provides a lovely home cooked meal before I pick them up which makes my life much easier.

Thanks Emma I love having them too.
Finding the right childminder to suit my work needs & children's needs was really important to me. This lady was exactly what I was looking for.
My girls were really happy to be looked after by her throughout the summer which made me really happy knowing I could go to work at ease.
She likes to keep children in her care well entertained which my 2 really enjoyed. They have formed great relationships with her own children which was really nice too.
I would highly recommend, lovely lady, lovely family :-)

Overall
This wonderful lady is my childminder for my 5year old son before and after school and I could not recommend her highly enough. My son has felt like part of the family from day one she provides a lovely home environment, they have a balanced diet through out the week and have plenty of activities after school, as well as helping with reading and maths.
She is very flexible, friendly, has a fabulous rapport with the kids being a peadiactric nurse I know my son could not be in safer hands.
My son has never been so quick to relax and be happy to go off to childcare than since he has been with her and the whole family are amazing and I feel so comfortable knowing that he is in their care.
She has my highest recommendation a fabulous child care provider.
