Leigh Anne looked after our son for almost 2 years until he started nursery. Without any shadow of doubt I have no hesitations in recommending her. Her caring and loving nature just shines and she treats every child as part of her family. My son still misses Leigh Anne and all his friends from his time with her. The effort that Leigh Anne puts into the care and nurture has been invaluable in my son’s initial development. Everyday was fun. The daily diary entries gave great insight into his day, just such a lovely log to have and along with the photo book of which LeighAnne produced when he left 😀

My son was with Leighanne for just over a year and I can’t recommend Leighanne anymore. She is the most loving, caring and patient person. My son always had the best time and still talks about Leighanne and misses her lots since leaving to start nursery.
My son came on leaps and bounds development wise during his year with you. Thank you for being so wonderful. We miss you lots and any child that gets placed with you is so very lucky.

Leigh-Anne is a wonderful childminder, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Our daughter was immediately put at ease by Leigh-Anne and it is clear that she has flourished whilst she has been in Leigh-Anne’s care. Leigh-Anne is kind, thoughtful and extremely caring and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her. She has gone above and beyond for us, and is so accommodating, we are truly lucky to have had her care for our daughter. She is child focused and her experience with children shines through.

My son has just finished 2 years with Leighanne and I cannot recommend her more highly!!! She has consistently gone above and beyond and is so much more than childcare! She treats the children as part of her own family and has an amazing nurturing manner. The whole family are welcoming and kind. She provides an amazing variety of experiences and days out which my son thoroughly enjoys and can tell me all about. She is so tuned into the children and their individual needs and interests. My son, despite being quite a fussy eater, wolfs down everything Leighanne provides him with! I know exactly what his day has been like through her amazing communication books. She also sends fantastic pictures through the day which always make my day at work! On top of all this she is just so ooen and approachable. I would not hesitate in recommending Leighanne as a childcare provider.

Leigh-Anne has been looking after my daughter now for just over a year and I cannot recommend her highly enough. My daughter loves the days she is with Leigh-Anne and looks forward to it every week. It is a very caring, nurturing environment and my daughter loves playing and interacting with Leigh-Anne’s own children and family. There is a vast variety of toys, books and art materials for the children to use. My daughter has been taken out to various places such as Greenbank Gardens, Rural Life museum, Art Galleries and Museums, Softplay, Libraries, Dumfries House, Culzean Castle, Parks, beaches and many more. There is a great variety of educational and fun activities and Leigh-Anne always provides a healthy lunch and snacks and caters for food intolerance too. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her service. Thank you Leigh-Anne!

LeighAnne has looked after my 2 boys for the last (almost) 4 years.
LeighAnne has a lovely gentle manner with the children and is thoughtful and kind. She has an endless supply of toys, games, books etc and each day they play with different things or do activities, like painting or crafts. They also get some exercise every day with a walk or playing in greenbank gardens.
My boys adore LeighAnne and her family and can't wait to get there in the morning. They are happy and relaxed in her home and are always welcomed by the whole family.
LeighAnne organises day trips throughout the summer holidays and my boys have had great experiences and lasting memories of the trips. They have lots of interaction with other children through activities with another childminder.
The children are always given healthy food and snacks and their individual preferences are catered for.
My children have really benefited from the care and attention they have had from LeighAnne. And I am assured that they are relaxed and cared for in a lovely home environment.
I also get a diary update everyday as to what they have been doing, saying and eating as well as regular photos.
I don't have any hesitation in recommending LeighAnne. She has been such an important part of our family life for the last 4 years and I honestly couldn't have asked for more from a childminder.
