Excellent childminder!!!

I moved my 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter to Linda a few months ago and from the 1st day have been so so impressed. Linda provides a very supportive and encouraging environment for my kids, and at the same time teaches them really clear and consistent boundaries which is important for me. They really enjoy going to her and have lots of fun doing various activities, they go out lots and have especially loved trips out with her during the school holidays. I appreciate how Linda has taken an interest in my son and daughter and this shows in how she cares for them. I have 100% confidence in her ability to take care of my little people. Like one other reviewer on here my son was actually disappointed one Saturday when he realised he was spending the day with me and not Linda!! Another nice touch is that Linda sends me photos and updates of what they're up to Thanks Linda!!!

Thank you

My little boy was looked after by Linda, u I don't feel comfortable leaving my boy with anyone as he is simply too precious, however I felt very at ease while he was in Linda's care, she met his every need and more. The food he had was in my boys words yummy he is allergic to egg but still had a varied diet of fruit veg meat ect. As much as I don't like to admit he even asked could he go to Linda's at weekend. My boy did go to a nursery at first and if I had my time over he would have gone to Linda from day one Linda is a wonderful caring childminder whip you can see treats every child as if he or she is her own. I liked the little photos she would send of my son playing and no day was the same , bed time was a walk in the park when he had been in Linda's care. Thank you Linda sincerely you are amazing xxx Hayley xxx

Childminder

Linda has been looking after my son since the begging of 2015 who is now 21 months. She also picks up and drops off my daughter to Urmston infants.

Linda is a fantastic and very supportive childminder. She has helped little Seb in reaching his milestones who seems to be thriving with her. Seb had been to 3 nurseries in the area before starting with Linda but failed to settle in any of them. It concerned me to be leaving my son in tears every morning and picking him up unhappy from the nursery and I wondered how unhappy he had been throughout the day.

At Linda's he happily skips into her house and is straight in wanting to play with other children. Having a range of different ages is helping him develop in a natural and stimulating environment. Linda has helped him lots with his eating (he's a terrible eater at home) and I am happy to know that he's had at least one proper meal. She provides lots of fresh fruit and snacks to keep them going. Another aspect I like about Linda is how much time she spends with children outdoors doing various activities. It's great for their physical and mental development and fitness. She attends all school events where possible to build a strong relationship with children. She's good with setting boundaries but encourages their curiosity. My son and daughter are very happy with Linda. I am 100% happy mummy knowing my children are looked after by Linda.

Excellent childminder

Can't speak highly enough of Linda whos looked after my daughter for over a year now, sadly relocation means my daughter will be finishing in July.
My daughter attends regular play sessions and gets out and about with the other children, she also gets prompted to eat fresh fruit and vegetables.
Overall my daughter has highly enjoyed her time here.

Great help

Linda is such a great help and flexible. She has minded my 10 month old son for only 2 months and he loves going round. He reaches for her as soon as she opens the door :) she sends txs regulary through the day and takes them out :) xx

Thank you so much for the great comments, it is so nice to know your child is happy, and you enjoy the text message and poto service. thanks x

Excellent

Linda has cared for my two children for the last year and they have enjoyed every minute of it. In addition to the fun and stable environment that she provides, the children have the opportunity to attend groups, meet other children and childminders and go out on day trips during the school holidays.

Linda has really taken the time to get to know my children and their likes and interests providing them opportunity to pursue these.

I can highly recommend her.

Hi Lou,

I would like to say thank you for your review it is a pleasure to care for your children, it is also great to know they love the things we do and places we visit,


thanks again Linda x

Outstanding

I have used Linda to look after my two children since the youngest was 6 months old, and now (7 years later), we still use Linda for holiday cover and babysitting, as I work part-time now so don't need the after-school cover. But where do I start with Linda - there are so many good things to say? I love the fact that she offers a safe and stimulating environment for the children, not only in her home & garden, but also takes the children out almost every day to one place or another, whether it's a local childminding group or to the zoo or parks, all across Greater Manchester. Linda also has the perfect combination of love and care for the children with discipline and structure. Linda is so aware of all of the children's good and bad points, and can deal with them all so well. I can totally rely on Linda and trust her implicitly.
