Warm and nurturing space to leave your most precious child. Linda is loving and kind, they did great activities, it felt more like we were leaving our child with our parents, rather than a business. Linda was also very flexible and accommodating. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to take our child. We are very grateful for linda and her mum for caring for our son.
We sent our daughter, Margot to Linda's childminding 3.5 years ago when she was just 10 months old and we're so very glad we did. Linda and Nanny Connie became a second family to her, welcoming her warmly with affection and exciting play everyday. This was all throughout COVID when everyone was hypersensitive and nervous and yet Linda made the whole process very safe and easy. I highly recommend sending your child, especially in those younger years when you want to know your child is in a happy, family environment.
Our son was with Linda from 9 months until age 3. Linda made him, and us, feel so comfortable straight away and he enjoyed going every day, which is such a relief as parents.
She creates a fun and home like environment with lots of learning opportunities. She encourages friendships and promotes kindness in the children. She is incredibly patient, caring and warm and gives her all to the children in her care.
We feel very lucky that we found Linda!
My little boy Cole started with Linda when he was 10 months old - as he was born in lockdown he'd had very little contact with other people and I was initially very nervous about him being able to settle with someone else. Linda put me at ease straight away and within a week Cole was happy and excited to be going to her every day. 2 months after starting with her, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Linda undertook all the training from the hospital to help care of him, without hesitation and learned so much about his condition that I felt nothing but confidence in her ability to care for him.
Cole absolutely thrived with Linda - he had so much fun every day, made lots of friends and just loved Linda and Nannie Connie. He started pre-school in September and we were so sad to say bye to them and Cole still talks about his time there. I can't recommend her enough.
Linda and her mum Connie took great care of my twins who were 2 years old. It was their first time in a formal childcare setting so there were a few worries beforehand, but they both settled in much quicker than I expected and would run in each morning. They enjoyed their time at Linda's and the activities they did whilst there, especially around holidays and occasions. It was a warm, family setting and perfect for them to get used to being away from home and with other children before moving to a preschool environment. Would definitely recommend.
My daughter joined Linda and Nanna Connie when she was 18 months old and was very very happy there right up until she left for preschool this September. She absolutely loved her time with Linda and still asks when she can go and play with with her and Connie! The loving and encouraging family environment was ideal for Ruby, playing with children of all ages and getting out and about with Linda and Connie. I felt perfectly happy every day I dropped her off every day knowing she would be safe, happy and stimulated. She made some great friends there - namely Linda and Connie who she loves dearly. If you are in search of a nurturing, friendly environment full of happiness and positivity look no further. I would recommend Linda in a heartbeat.☺️☺️☺️
My son started going to Linda’s when he was six months old and stayed until he was 3!! My daughter also attended for a few months, we sadly had to leave Linda due to relocating.
I cannot tell you how special this lady is! From the moment I met her I knew she would always go above my beyond for the children she cared for.
Linda is kind, supportive, experienced, loving, approachable, friendly and so much more!
My children absolutely adore her, we were made to feel part of the family.
Linda is a very special woman indeed and we are so grateful to her for everything she did for Sam and Emmie.
Connie, Linda’s mum is also AMAZING!
A wonderful family :)

As soon as I met Linda, I knew she would take great care of my son. She didn't disappoint! She was always smiling and full of fun - my son adored her. He was very happy to be with Linda and her mum, Connie, plus all the other children. There were plenty of age appropriate toys for him, both inside and out, and she made sure they went out to the park often as well. She set very firm but fair boundaries but most of all, she made sure that my son was happy. He had no problems settling in, and would bound through the door without a backwards glance every morning. At the end of every day, he would be full of stories of the fun things he and his little friends had got up to. I would have no hesitation using Linda again or recommending her to others.
Linda was our first ever childminder for out 2.5 year old boy. He was very happy to go there and always come back smiling too. Never had any issues and would happily recommend. I am sure our transition to pre-school is now made also easier.
Our daughter Sacha stayed under Linda's care for about 18 months from 6 months old to about 2 years. Sacha now started at the nursery because we thought she was ready to go to the next stage and wanted her to be prepared for pre-school.
We have been extremely happy with Linda’ s work with Sacha and Sacha was always extremely happy to spend her days with Linda. So happy that often she was not even looking back to us. Linda is a caring and dynamic person. We got regular updates on Sacha’s progress through pictures or daily chats. Linda has also been flexible when we needed it. In conclusion, an excellent childminder who help us in preparing Sacha for the future. Highly recommended.
