Highly recommended childminder

5 stars

Dawn has been looking after our son for the last two and a half years, and is only leaving her setting to start pre-school in September.

From his first day with Dawn we knew we’d made such a good decision, he went in happily that morning and has gone in happily pretty much every day since. Dawn gives us a daily update, along with a photo or two, on how he has slept, eaten and what he has been up to, with a fair amount of poo talk too! Our son has had a few medical problems which Dawn has taken the time to understand and work with us on, so we know he has consistency and is always well looked after.

You can tell that the children all get on and that they enjoy spending their time together and with Dawn- so much so she has older children, who came to her as babies/toddlers, come back in the school holidays. A lot of time is spent in the garden, or out in the local area having a walk, unless the weather is bad- which our son loves. Her meals are well thought out and she works really closely with us to ensure he’s getting a good diet- which is hard when he’s a picky eater!

If you are looking for a reliable, experienced, friendly and caring childminder, we honestly couldn’t recommend Dawn more. We are so grateful to have had Dawn in our lives and looking after our son for the past 2 and a half years and we are genuinely sad that his time with Dawn is coming to an end.
