Dee looked after my son from 2011 to 2013 and, when my daughter needed childcare from 2017 to 2019, we were lucky enough that Dee was once again available. My daughter is now moving on to nursery and I would recommend Dee in the strongest possible terms to other families. She is a wonderful childminder and we feel very fortunate to have found her.

Dee's home is ideally suited to caring for young children with lots of space and things to do. The garden is beautiful. Dee gets the children out and about and my daughter likes to tell me about the activities she does with Dee and other children at various playgroups. Dee is extremely well organised and is kind and accommodating when our organisation has been less than good! She is good at communicating what goes on during the day through notes and photos. Mealtimes are calm and the food is varied.

My family feel such a debt of gratitude to Dee; my partner and I go out to work and do not have to worry about our daughter, she gives us complete peace of mind. We will miss her very much and whole-heartedly recommend her to other families looking for childcare.
