Colin's Reviews

Colin is like family to us

My daughter has been with Colin for 3 years and It has been absolutely the best choice I would have wanted for her. In these years he has been supportive and a crucial presence in my daughter life and I can definitely say that he has been more than a carer and almost family to us. Helpful, professional and always with a smile on his face has guided my little one through the most delicate years of her life , helping her blooming and acquiring all the important milestones. His food prep is delicious at the point that my daughter would eat certain meals just if prepared by him. I will be always thankful for the support and help that he has given.

Professional

Our son has been with Allyson and Colin for 1.5 years. When he started, they made sure he settled down comfortably and now he is happy to go there every day. He has a diary where they write down how he gets on during the day. The playroom is full of toys, books and games, where kids can help themselves to whatever they want to play. They provide healthy food and snacks and our son enjoys eating there. They are always easy to contact and very responsive whenever you ask them. Moreover, they are always flexible and available to do extra hours if needed. We would recommend them.

Amazing childminder

My son Oscar has attended since 2019 when he was 7 months old. Over all these years he learned so much. The setting is always clean and well-prepared for every child's needs. Oscar loves going there and it's always exciting. Colin always goes above and beyond to give the best care and support also it's extremely patient. I was updated about Oscar's development and improvement regularly. I never had any concerns about how he takes care of my son. My son is a really active and challenging child but he never had a problem to calm him down or keep him occupied. Oscar was always telling me about activities they were doing and how he spent his time. When I became very ill last year, Colin was really supportive and helped Oscar to keep things as normal as they can and pass through this difficult time smoothly. He provided excellent care in a safe, quiet and calm environment. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a childminder. I cannot imagine an Oscar in better hands. Now my son it's in the Reception and is fully prepared what to expect and goes to school with a smile on his face thanks to Colin.

Fantastic Childcare

My son is 2 years old and has been receiving childcare from Colin since April 2023 and he has absolutely loved going to the group. Colin has been absolutely amazing in helping to reassure my son when he at first experienced separation anxiety and he’s been so accommodating, being able to fit around my work schedule and keeping up with any and all communication. I am very grateful for everything he’s done and I honestly couldn’t recommend the care more.

Brilliant childminder

Collin is an absolutely amazing childcare provider. My little one was with him for around 2.5 years and really loved the environment. He still speaks about Collin even though he’s recently left for nursery now. If he wasn’t going to nursery he would 100% still be with Collin. I can not recommend enough, our little one developed a lot of skills and was always talking about the fun he had. They have great communication and over the 2.5 years we’ve had no issues at all.
