Laura is brilliant with children of all ages. I am so pleased that I chose Laura to look after my child. She goes above and beyond, planning fun activities and organising a wide variety of outings locally and further afield including forest-school type play every week. I can tell that Laura really enjoys her job and is gentle and caring towards all the children in her care. My child loves spending time in her care. I 100% recommend!
Mimi worked for our family for 1 year and looked after our 2 girls. From the very beginning she was caring, reliable, and full of kindness. The girls absolutely adored her, and we always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such safe and loving hands. She has a wonderful way with children—engaging them in fun activities, helping with routines, and making them feel both happy and secure.
Sadly, we moved and it didn’t work out for both of us, otherwise we would have loved to keep her as part of our family. Mimi is not only trustworthy, reliable, and very polite, but she also has a warm and calm personality that makes her a joy to be around. She quickly became part of our household, and her presence brought us so much peace of mind.
Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
Laura goes above and beyond when it comes to taking the children out and about. Trips to museums , the park, bowling just to name a few. She has had my son from the age of 5months to 3years old … and now my daughter . Both children see Laura’s house as a safe and happy place , what more could you want !
Laura is a brilliant Childminder in the heart of Thornton and my 8-year son loves going to her.
At the moment Laura does school drop offs and pick ups and full days during school holidays. During school holidays, Laura does lots of exciting outings with the kids (I am jealous!!)
I feel well informed whenever there is a slight problems (e.g. usual bumps while playing) or if there are any days off planned.
I would totally recommend Laura
I could not recommend Laura enough to any friends or family that are looking for childcare for their children. I have a little girl who currently attends and she has loved going to Laura’s since she started aged 1! Laura is always taking the children out on days out or to fun activities to keep them entertained! Laura is very creative with the children and always goes the extra mile on occasions with her creative ideas with children. She always keeps me updated with my little girl and what she has done/ eaten throughout the day. It’s would highly recommend Laura child care services I will continue to use her for my next child
My daughter was cared for by Amber recently she always loved attending and settled in very easily. Amber is a kind and caring childminder who provided excellent care with frequent updates and photos which showed the many activities they did daily. I would highly recommend her.
Our little ones nursery finished at 3 and Shanice was helpfully able to pick her up alongside another 2 children a few days a week. Our daughter enjoyed her time there and we always found Shanice and her assistant very friendly and professional. We could sometimes hear them all singing when we went for a pick up. Would recommend.
My daughter has been cared for by Neera over the last year. My daughter always loves attending and settled in very easily. Neera is a kind and caring childminder who provided excellent care. I would highly recommend Neera.
Emma looked after my daughter for almost 3 years from when she was 1 years old. I honestly cant fault her, she’s been great and I would recommended her to anyone.
The amount of activities and days out she plans with the children is amazing and my daughter loved going there (she still wants to come back!)
I’m so glad we found Emma, she always kept us updated and I knew my daughter was very well cared for with her.
We are so grateful to Emma, she is the best of the best!
I have bee cancelled on twice now with 2hours notice for a meet and greet the first excuse was that she was too tired and today no excuse at all she simply refused to send the address with and excuse about needing 2 days minimum which was not discussed before and then simply didn't reply to my text. Paula's behaviour is unprofessional to say the least would not trust my child with her.
My 23 month old daughter has been at Kavitha's setting for the past 6 months and has settled in so well. She has made new friends and enjoys all the fun educational activities that are available for her every day.
She has enjoyed lots of water play in the garden during the summer months, and loves to get busy with arts and crafts.
She is surrounded with high quality activities which is showing in all areas of development such as her speech, motor skills, compassion and confidence levels.Her needs are being met very well and she clearly enjoys her time at Kavitha's house as she looks foward to going there.
Kavitha is a very kind and professional childminder with a wonderful team!
Our daughter was with Aisha and her family for more than two years and we feel truly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. Our daughter was always happy to go and came home talking about how much fun she had. Aisha takes the children out for play groups and dance classes as well as to local playgrounds, but also has a wonderful garden full of toys. Aisha clearly spent time working on development and skills and offers a fun, safe space for children.
We as a family are incredibly sad to say goodbye to Barbara as our daughter Darcy sets off for school. Darcy spent 3 years from the age of 1 with Barbara from 9-4 Monday to Thursday. As for any parent putting your trust in a stranger was completely out of our comfort zone especially as Darcy was our first child but very quickly, we were put at ease and going to Barbaras every morning just became like second nature.
I will never forget the first day I met Barbara. Before we had even left Barbaras home I knew she was the one for us. Her beautiful home and loving family are a bonus. Barbara is always putting others first and will always go that extra mile to help.
We could not recommend Barbara enough. If you are looking for a home from home and a genuine, caring, thoughtful child minder than look no further. Darcy was always fed delicious home cooked meals and taught to sit at a table when eating. The children would often be taken out to willows farm, paradise wildlife park, soft plays and the occasionally trip to the seaside. Nothing was ever to much for Barbara.
It shines through how passionate Barbara is about her job. I don’t think it even is a job for her; she genuinely loves her time with the children. Darcy has grown an incredible bond with Barbara, something I never thought possible. She was not just our childminder, she was more to us, and she is now a friend for life.
Fantastic service !! From first day our boy was super happy at Dawn's. From a parent perspective I could not been more satisfied. I could rest assured that he was well looked after and that he enjoyed himself. Location is also great with no problem with parking at any time.
Our daughter Phoebe started with Clara when she was 10 months old and was with her until she started school recently.
Her time with Clara was full of fun and love and for us as parents, Clara provided a 'home away from home' where Phoebe could learn, play, have fun and express herself in a safe and nurturing environment.
Clara will make delicious and healthy home cooked food for the children, something that was important for us, and having our daughter pick up words in Spanish during her early years only added to the enjoyment of her experience.
Clara will take the children out to different settings both indoor and outdoor as well as providing a very comfortable and safe home for the children to spend time in.
We were delighted with our choice in having Clara help raise our little girl in her early years and are thankful for everything that she did for Phoebe and for us, she made the journey of being new parents so much easier and allowed us to have the peace of mind that our daughter was in the best possible care.

Marie has looked after my four year old daughter this year and provided excellent care.
She is reliable, friendly and flexible and my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the time she has spent in Marie's care.
Her home is lovely- it is clean, safe and organised, exactly what you would hope for. There are plenty of toys and books to keep my daughter busy. There is a secure, clean garden with a fantastic range of outdoor play equipment, which my daughter really enjoyed this summer.
Marie has gone the extra mile and taken my daughter on some wonderful trips out over the year, including soft play, cinema and the seaside.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marie's services to anyone looking for childcare in the area.
