Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 8 reviews)

When we were looking for a childminder, our son was 18 months old and we had only 18 months of experience as parents. It was a big step for us, how can you leave your child in someone else's care, will he be safe, will he be taken care off, hugged when he cries, fed when hungry, loved when he feels sad?
Million questions were going through our minds and equaly, we visited quite a few childminders and for all of them we found something not right for us. Until, we knocked on Trudie's door!!
Honestly, we just felt like in heaven!! A place of happiness, learning, acceptance, safe and absolutely spotless.
Just 5 minutes talking with her and seeing her environment was enough for us to say yes.
Our son absolutely adores her and she has helped him develop into a bright young boy, hes's been under her care for 3 years allready and we can't be thankfull enough for her help.
We consider her part of our family now and we hope she'll bring the same joy and support to many more children and parents.
We love you Trudie!!!

Trudie has been our childminder for around 4 years and we would highly recommend her services.
Trudie provides a warm and friendly setting which is also educational and supportive. Trudie also keeps us updated on what the children are doing and sends photos.
As well as playing in the home, the children are taken out to parks and play centres on a regular basis and are able to socialise with other children who are cared for by other childminders.
Our children enjoy their time with Trudie and are happy to be cared for by her.

I'm sure it was a twist of fate that I met Trudie when I was pregnant with our first daughter. She looked after our little girl from 9 months to 2.5 years. She offers a real home away from home childcare experience. She clearly loves her job and all her babies (all her children are her babies!!), and they love her right back. Trudie is very focused on every stage of child development, and sees it as her role to prepare each child for school. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She made a mothers guilt of returning to work so much easier to bear. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If she had a space grab it with both hands, as childminders like Trudie are like gold dust!!

I am so happy I ran into Trudie while she was out with "her" children whilst I was on maternity leave after my second daughter was born. I could see immediately that she was a complete natural with small children - she genuinely loves all of her children and they love her right back. She has looked after my second daughter full time since I returned to work as well as doing the school run with my older daughter. I am so much happier with the care my children are receiving than I was with the nursery I used first time around. I can see that my children and happy and secure, and my youngest is so confident - she has really blossomed and I can share each of her triumphs with Trudie as we gloat over "our" little girl! She is an absolutely indispensable part of our family - I can't imagine how we'd function without her. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

I run a childrens painting studio and play area in Sittingbourne. Trudie has been a customer for many years with her own children and the ones that she looks after. It is so wonderful to see a person give as much love, care and attention to others as she does her own. You can see the children adore her and are all so well behaved and poilte.
If I was asked to recommend a childminder, Trudie would be the first. She gives each child lots of attention and is always playing and interacting with them.
It is wonderful to see that children stay with Trudie for a long time and they and the parents become part of her life.

My son was cared by Trudie since he was 5 months old and I trust Trudie with all my heart. She has a very warm approach with all the children and has ability to encourage positive behaviours. She has helped my son enormously and I thank God I was able to find such brilliant person to take care of my him. Her own children are really polite and always so very caring towards my son . Trudie encourages educational activities as well as lots of fun !!
Any child in Trudie's care will be looked after fantastically and will learn all the important things to set them up for school.
Thank u Trudie for being such a brilliant chilminder x

Trudie has looked after our son since he was three months old. He always looks forward to his days with her. He is looked after as if he was her own child. She has assisted with his development from an early age and due to the professional approach she has with all the children she cares for we are confident that he is well prepared for starting school this September. He has learnt to play with respect and consideration for others, of all ages, and understands the implications of any poor behaviours. On a personal level Trudie has always been hugely flexible and accommodating when the unexpected happens. In short, we are really lucky to have Trudie in our lives and would want our son (& any future children we may have) to be cared for by her for as long as necessary.

I am 3.5 years old and have been coming to play at Trudie's house since I was 9 months old. I love coming to Trudie's house, I have lots of fun and am always learning new things. Everyone is happy there, we go out on trips, the park and other groups. We play with other children. We do lots of fun things and rabbit loves it too. Trudie is my best friend xx

As you can see our daughter absolutely loves Trudie's house! She has blossomed there, is confident, out going, adventurous and very social, this is in some part due to the work that Trudie does. They are constantly doing something and often meet with other minders and other children. She is attentive to all our needs, will provide advice and guidance as an experienced mother herself. She has been flexible with our needs and fully supportive of our daughters. We have regular reviews and have loads of opportunity to discuss next steps, she includes us in everything they do and is always interested in our weekends so they can discuss what each child has done. She is totally approachable which is important when dealing with children and always available to chat if needed, we never feel rushed. Trudie's family are lovely and like to spend time with the children. She is loving, caring, generous and we know she misses every child when she has a holiday! We are all going to miss Trudie when our daughter goes to school and hope to continue the friendship that we have developed. We wish every child could benefit from having a 'Trudie' in their young life.
