Vanessa's Home is favourite place for my son

5 stars

Words are not enough to express my deep gratitude for Vanessa's unconditional love and care for my 3 year old son Kiaan. He is most happy and excited in going to her place. He miss her on weekends and waits for Monday. Vanessa has taught him as like her own kid and given so many great values that I can't teach even as being mother. The values of sharing, kindness, politeness are just few apart from the love and compassion being practiced throughout the day at her place. I am so grateful and fortune to God for finding her at right time when we needed most. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Love you and God bless you loads of success as a great Human being.

Best place for your kids

5 stars

My 2-year-old daughter is attending Caress, where Vanessa is a caregiver. Due to being born during the Covid pandemic, my daughter faced challenges like severe separation anxiety and difficulty in socializing. Vanessa's patience and care have made a remarkable difference. Now, my daughter is more confident and sociable. I attribute her progress to Vanessa's efforts. Vanessa offers a variety of engaging indoor and outdoor activities that the kids adore. Among these, dressing up is my daughter's favorite. Through these activities, she has learned valuable skills such as sharing, taking turns, kindness, and making friends. My daughter's improved behavior has garnered praise from others, and I consistently express my gratitude to Vanessa. My daughter sees Vanessa's place as her second home and is always excited to go there. Vanessa's nurturing environment fosters the children's growth and development effectively.

Home away from Home Service

5 stars

Vanessa has been looking after my 3 yr old son, Yuvaan, for more than a year and he absolutely loves his time there. Having been at nursery previously, we found the service and focus on him, above & beyond the care we have received from nursery and she really does provide a home away from home service, which we are absolutely grateful for. The intimate setting means that he has more received more one-on-one care. He has learnt to count and the also alphabets. He has developed a lovely bond not just with her, but also her husband and daughters as well as her pet dogs. He is well fed, always happy at pick up and doesn’t want to leave, so I feel confident that he is being well looked after in her care. She really goes beyond her duties of a childminder and has been a lifesaver in supporting us when we have run late and needed the occasional out of hours care. I could not recommend her enough for providing a healthy, happy, clean environment for him to develop in. There are lots of activities planned and she has a large outdoor space in which he can safely explore. I have no reservation in recommending her services and will continue our early years care there until my little one goes to school.

Very professional and friendly childminder

5 stars

I am so glad I have found Vaneesa when looking for childcare for my son (age3). Vaneesa is caring, friendly and very patient. She provides a large variety of activities and walks/ outings, she has a lovely outside space too for children to use. She has been so thoughtful in acknowledging special days like fathers day and pancakes day and planned activities accordingly. I also found her very professional and organised.My son has learned numbers and shapes and comes home with new activities every day. I very much recommend Vaneesa to anyone looking for childcare.

Amazing, my son love Vanessa.

5 stars

Amazing childminder, my son absolutely loves Vanessa and is always excited to go and see her. She does lots of activities with him and he always comes home with new drawings and things they have crafted. Would highly recommend to anyone. Vanessa also keeps a detailed diary of everything they do which is very useful.
