Another very happy and grateful mother!
My son has really thrived under Venus' and her team's care. He is quite difficult - with language developmental delay, multiple food allergy, stubbornness. Venus has aced it all and I am forever grateful to her! My son went from crying hard and refusing to go into her home at the start to walking in happily, within a few sessions. Venus has also been amazingly kind and flexible with me - which I know no one else could have offered.
My son also ate and slept very well at Venus' - and the difference was very easy to tell because he only went twice a week...
What more can I have asked for, when my child returns from his childminder happily, healthily, and feeling more eager to express himself!
Venus and her team have gone so much above and beyond to get my son's language development up to speed. He only had around 5 vocabularies after the summer and within the last three months, I saw a huge and steep improvement curve in my son's language development and the full credit goes to Venus and her team!! We speak a different language at home so I just know that my son learned everything with Venus! He can now put 3 things (sometimes more) together in a sentence and the amount of words that he knows really surprises us each day! I honestly cannot thank Venus enough for this, as I really have been worried, especially hearing what therapists have said...
Venus' and her team's hard work and nurturing have also really come through and paid off - my son started at school nursery yesterday and he walked into the classroom without a fuss, no crying no lingering no looking back at us - and I know that his confidence must have been built from the time he spent with Venus.
I am just really really grateful to Venus and her team.

Thank you for your thoughtful and positive review. It was truly a pleasure teaching and having him in my setting. I appreciate your kind words and believe in his great potential for a successful future.
Fabulous care and support from Venus and her team. They’ve really helped my little boy to flourish and are so supportive of his dietary requirements due to food allergies. I have one happy little boy so I’m one happy mummy!

My daughter is with Venus since April and i must admit Venus and her lovely Team are providing excellent service. They are friendly, helpful and most importantly very flexible which is a big bonus for us.
Our daughter was very shy, hardly talked but she has developed a lot so i must thank for the team. Now she is looking forward to go there every day. 😃

We have used Venus and her team for the last few years, the service they offer is first class. The children have a great space to play and learn. The day's are well structured including singing, learning time and outside play. Our little boy was very shy and hesitant when he first started but Venus and the team made him feel so welcome, we are really thrilled with his development especially his speech and social skills. I would highly recommend Venus and her team to anyone looking for childminding services in the Walton-on-Thames area.
