We were so lucky to find Donna, after an awful experience at a nursery we were extremely anxious about leaving our child. Donna was very reassuring and nurturing. Our child is thriving in her care, the children have so many lovely trips out and lots of interesting and exciting activities. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Donna is an amazing childminder, professional and caring. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time at Little Lions and learnt so much. I can't recommend Donna highly enough.

We asked Donna to take on T with very short notice one day a week which Donna did for us and settled him into her care soon well and really quickly.
After T's first day, the rest of the week he would wake up asking to go back to see Donna.
Donna always ensures the day is filled with exciting things to do. They go out to play groups and play areas and even trips to the farm.
Donna used a diary to communicate with us about what T had been up to and often included a picture of something T was doing during the day.
I would highly recommend Donna as a child-minder to anyone!! x x
