Amazing Childminder

Bernadette has been looking after our 8 month old son Jacob for several weeks now following my return to work, and he is absolutely thriving! Despite all my first-time-mum angst, tears and worries about going back to work and leaving him, Bernadette has been a tower of strength with endless patience, and in just a few short weeks has managed to get my previously fussy son to eat properly and even self-soothe on occasions! He never fusses when his daddy drops him off in the morning, and is always super-smiley and giggly when I pick him up, clearly having had a fabulous time!

Bernadette is a wonderful and loving mother to her three gorgeous sons, and treats the children in her care as if they were members of her own family. Both she and her assistance Grace have made my transition back to work almost effortless (almost!), and keep me updated at all times, not even complaining when I check up on Jake for the umpteenth time during the day!

Thanks to both Bernadette and Grace for being the most amazing carers to my special little boy, and a great friend to me in the last few weeks, and for the forseeable future xxx

Emma,

Thank-you so much for your kind words. Jacob is a pleasure to care for. You're perfectly entitled to feel angst about leaving your baby for the first time. You're a first time Mum & I promise it'll get easier the more you have ;-)

Excellent

My son has been going to bernadettes for 6months now and we couldnt be happier, i know that choosing a childminder can be a scary thing for parents but bernadette made us feel so welcome and put our minds completely at ease and best of all my son felt completely at ease, we are so happy with her that we changed his days from two days a week to full time in a matter of weeks, she has a warm loving home and a fantastic enviroment for children to be themselves and all play and learn together, if anyone is looking for an excellent, warm and caring childminder look no further than bernadette you wont find a better one, if anybody wants further reviews on bernadette contact me ill be happy to recommend her, i know that when we have more children theres only one childerminder they will be going to!!!

Best Childminder

Bernadette has been looking after my little girl for 6 weeks. She does great daily report to what activities she has done during the day like what she had in breakfast, lunch, snacks, sleeping time, playing time etc which is very useful. She also kept us informed of her activities not only through the daily contact book but also by text messages during the day when necessary. I felt that I could talk to her openly about anything, which really helped me in feeling comfortable leaving my daughter in her care.
We have found Bernadette to be very flexible and are more than happy with the care she has been providing. Mahnoor took a couple of weeks to get settled in but Bernadette helped us through this process, she now leaves us everyday with a smile which gives us great peace of mind. Bernadette is always doing something with the children which we have no doubt is helping with Mahnoor development and we often get pictures. No day is ever the same as they go on outings to playgroups etc. She treat her like a family and you can’t ask for more.

My wife was personally very concerned about having our child in someone's house, but I am now sure that leaving Mahnoor with Bernadette was the best choice!

I would recommend her to parents looking for a good and reliable childminder.
