I found Dawn on this site as we were looking for someone to look after our daughter.

Dawn was amazing from the moment we contacted each other. She was completely approachable and made our decision so easy to make and even our daughter who was 7months old at the time fell in love with her instantly.

We are both teachers and knowing ofsted regulations etc we just knew that our decision was the best for our little one.

Dawn organised settling in days for our little one before she started full days and whenever she went for these she never cried once (which for our daughter was a first) Dawn was wonderful on these days and put us all at ease.

I went back to work knowing she was in safe and happy hands and a place where she loved to go.

Dawn is very flexible indeed and is willing to in my eyes go above and beyond. She and her family (husband and 2 children) are all so lovely and we have had the pleasure to arrange out of hours play dates with my partners other child who loves them too.

Dawn has days all planned and there is never a time where fun, love and laughter is never being had. She writes a daily diary so we can see what they've all been up to and her food and sleep patterns.

Our daughter has been with Dawn now for nearly 5months and she is developing not only fantastic social skills but also with her communication skills.

She has the opportunity to be with lots of other children as Dawn meets up with another childminder on occasions and goes on lots of outings.

I would recommend Dawn to anyone who wants a friendly, professional, reliable, flexible and happy childminder for their child/ren who can flourish in a safe and caring environment.

A definite 5* from us.
