Over the last year Gwen has been our childminder for 2 of our girls. From day 1 both girls settled straight away and felt at home in her care. I see Gwen as an extended part of my family. The girls love spending time with her and the other children in her care. I love the variety or activities Gwen plans for the children. These are clearly planned and have built in skills and experiences for the children to explore, create, and learn through play. They are often linked to themes throughout the year. Gwen’s nurturing approach is what I love about her care. I know my children are safe, happy and thriving.

Gwen has been a fantastic childminder for my daughter for over a year. She absolutely adores going to Gwen’s house and all of the things that Gwen does with her. My daughter has learned lots with the help of Gwen, every week she is developing and learning something new. I couldn’t recommend Gwen enough, my baby will be attending when I go back to work next year and I am filled with such confidence knowing she will be going to someone so caring and loving toward her children. Gwen is very flexible and accommodating, something no nursery could be. I have watched my daughter thrive in the last year and I am excited to see my other daughter do the same under Gwen’s care.

We done a lot of research when looking for a childminder for our daughter and instantly knew Gwen was the one when we met her. Our daughter has now been with Gwen for over 2 years and she is absolutely thriving. She is nurtured, loved and treated like part of the family when she is with Gwen and our girl has made some amazing friends during her time there. The level of care she receives is second to none and the learning and development opportunities Gwen provides are amazing. We are forever grateful for the love and support Gwen shows not just our daughter but our family. Her communication is second to none, I love getting my daily updates on all of the days adventures. I can’t recommend Gwen enough as a childminder and I hope she plays a part in our daughters life for many years to come.

Gwen is such a great childminder for my kids. I needed a childminder for over the summer holiday period & Gwen was recommended to me by a friend & I have not looked back. This is now the 2nd year that my kids have been with Gwen & they absolutely love her, she is a very friendly, caring, accommodative person who really has the best interest for the kids that she takes care of. My kids are taken out on trips everyday, away doing fun activities come rain or shine. My kids love the trips & I am kept up to date with how things are going throughout the day, with lots of great pictures of what they have been up to on that day. My kids always come home with a smile on their faces, which says it all. I cannot fault Gwen at all with the work, care & attention that she puts into looking after my kids & the peace of mind that this gives me handing them over every morning on my way to work. Thank you Gwen, Amazing!

I have 2 young daughters. Gwen looked after my girls before and after school. Gwen’s home is beautiful, clean, safe, and well equipped for looking after and keeping children entertained whilst teaching them. With a playroom and garden play area there is always plenty of activities to keep the little ones busy. I required a childminder after a life event which changed my circumstances overnight. This was a turbulent time for my daughters and Gwen was approachable, accommodating, and completely understanding of my girls needs. She formed a lovely relationship with my girls and I felt absolutely at ease leaving them with Gwen. I would recommend Gwen to anyone in the area looking for a childminder, she becomes part of your family and I can’t praise her highly enough.
