My Experience

We work really well as a team!

Hollie has created the most perfect home from home environment for children and her setting has a real personal feel to it - dropping my little ones off with her makes going to work that little bit easier knowing that they are happy and being looked after with lots of love, care and cuddles all day. My 2nd little boy has been with Hollie since he was 9 months old, he settled in really quickly and I am so grateful for all the daily communication received as it's so reassuring to see how happy he is and how much fun he's having. They go to wonderful places and we are always very grateful the experiences they offer each day. My 3 year old is also with Hollie one day a week and he absolutely loves it with them and is always so excited when I tell him he's going there and always tells me how much he loves Hollie's cooking! They have both absolutely flourished with Hollie and we are so grateful to have found her and hope we can be use you long term for childcare. Feel so grateful to have been introduced to you and we trust you wholeheartedly with our children and would recommend you to anyone requiring childcare. We only have positive words to say about Hollie and our children love spending time with her. Thanks so much. X

My son has been going to Hollie regularly since March.
I was returning to work after mat leave after having my first son, it was a stressful time and I wasn’t having any luck finding a childminder. My close friend recommended Hollie after working with her at a nursery.
As soon as I met Hollie I felt a sudden weight lift and only had confidence and reassurance from her that this is where I could trust my son to be left while I work.
I love getting updates on the app we use and the messages throughout the day to let me know what they are up to.
My son always comes home having had a great day, lovely food and fun with some little friends.
Hollie puts in 100% and is so creative with her fun, educational and enriching activities that she does with the children where they can learn, grow and develop in such a safe and caring environment. But also just be children - playing and exploring freely.
I would definitely recommend Hollie as a childminder her home is welcoming and fun and a nice place to be.
My son went from being quite needy and clingy to very quickly going straight through the door without a glance back!

Hollie provides a safe, home from home environment, our son loves it there so much, he is continuously learning through play and in the few months he has been going here has built such an amazing bond with Hollie and her lovely family. She spoils them with trips out eat play groups parks and soft play. I love the daily updates we get letting us know what they are getting up to!

After a less than satisfactory experience with my previous childminder, I was recommended Hollie by a friend of the family. Since the beginning Hollie has been a warm and welcoming person who has given my daughter the nurturing and encouraging environment I was looking for while I’m at work. Hollie uses an app to update parents on the various activities she has done with the children and it’s wonderful to see. She does so many educational activities with the children of various ages to help them build their skills and I can see such a huge difference in my daughter already! Hollie is extremely approachable and will work with you and never against you. She is respectful of parents wishes and my daughter is incredibly happy with her. So glad I found her!
