my two girls go here and they love it. One is 4 and one is 2. They started off at safe hands nursery (which where awful my eldest girl got held back in the baby room for nearly a year ). Anyway we where looking for someone who would really respond with the girls and after their first settling in days we never looked back. Char takes them every where from play centres to museums to parks and they even enjoy all the cooking and learning they do in her own home. Char has done so much with them I feel that I'm quite confident about my eldest girl going to school in September. She can write her name recognise numbers and some letters she is now so excited to go to school which she wasn't at the beginning of the year and that's all thanks to the support from char. Couldn't recommend a more genuine child care provider thankyou for all you do can't wait for my youngest son to start in September xx

Aw thank you guys for the great review I love having the little cuties they have come on so much and are now part of my family to. They are beautiful children kind and so caring I love every minute I spend with them xx

Charmaine is brilliant with my boys who are 10 and 6. They attend her setting every school holidays and they love it. No 2 days are the same whether they are baking, doing arts and crafts or playing outside and they are always going on trips to Manchester, Blackpool, local parks and museums etc. Nothing is too much trouble and its so reassuring when you have to work full time during school holidays that your children are well looked after and are having a brilliant time. Charmaine has always been very flexible and understanding if I have had to drop the boys off slightly early or pick them up slightly late. I would definetely reccomend Chars Childminding to anyone.
