An experienced childminder offers a nurturing environment with a strong focus on outdoor play and hands-on learning. Children enjoy exploring nature, developing language skills, and engaging in first-hand experiences. The atmosphere is loving and positive, promoting strong bonds and social skills. While communication and safety are prioritized, there is room for improvement in explaining behavioral expectations and planning intended learning outcomes for different age groups.

I have known Sue for a very long time as she looked after my son who is 11 years old now. He is such a confident, happy and independent boy and she played a big part in his life. We always kept in touch. Sue was one of the first people that I told I was pregnant for the second time. I always knew that I could trust her and rely on her care when I went back to work after my maternity leave. My daughter has been going to Sue for over a year now and she loves it.
Her relationship with Sue and her friends is great. Sue always take them out to different places to explore and discover.
She is very flexible and trustworthy, her communication with me is brilliant and when I need her to do for different hours or dates she always there to help me and other mums.
I never feel anxious or sad leaving my little one with her as I know she will have an amazing time and will be cared perfectly.

Sue has looked after two of my children and I honestly wouldn't have made the decision to have my last child if I didn't know she would be cared for by such an amazing person. Having to go back to work full time when my baby was just one was one of the most difficult things I've had to do and l wouldn't have left her with anyone else.
Playdays has been awarded OFSTED outstanding multiple times but this rating does not reflect the level of love, care and stimulation provided to all the children in Sue's care past and present. Sue doesn't just provide educational and developmental stimulation of the highest standard, she provides a family for her children which makes going to work every day that much easier. My daughter has never worried about being left and is one of the luckiest little girls I know.

I have been incredibly blessed to have Sue caring for my daughter for the last 3.5 years and fortunate that she will continue to look after her with after school care as she transitions to school in September.

Having been awarded consecutive ‘Outstanding’ grades by Ofsted, Sue also came highly recommended by a neighbour.

From our very first visit, I knew this was the right setting for my daughter as Sue opened her door and welcomed us in as part of a wider extended family, helping my daughter to feel safe and secure. Seeing her flourish and enjoy the time she spends with Sue made my return to work that bit easier, knowing she was receiving the best possible care and attention.

As my daughter has grown we have worked together to help her achieve her full potential. She has had so many opportunities through Sue that she would not otherwise have had elsewhere. Outings to farms, woodland walks, soft play, trampolining, trips to National Trust sites etc are a daily occurrence with learning and achieving milestones at the centre of each activity. The children thrive in her care, enjoying parties to celebrate different festivals such as Halloween and special events including the upcoming Royal Wedding.

Sue clearly loves her job and adores the children she cares for, regularly going well above and beyond by expectations. I could not more highly recommend her in helping provide the best possible start in life for children.
