Highly recommend

5 stars

We highly recommend Tanya, my daughter struggled leaving me at first after being with just me for 13 months to then being left with someone unknown to her.

Tanya persevered and after not too long my girl loved going to hers.

They go on fun days out to the park, farm, zoo, playgroups and meet up with other childminders and their children to. This has really helped my girl become more confident with other children and different surroundings.

She provides regular updates during the day with photos and if you ever text to check in she usually responds very quickly. Which makes you feel at ease.

My girl now happily walks up Tanya’s drive and into her house without crying now and when I pick her up she is still smiling.

A lovely childminder with a lovely home which is very clean.
