Pat has been looking after my younger daughter, in her clean and loving home, for just over a year and I am beyond happy I found her. As a baby, my younger daughter clung to me and didn’t like many other people. She became comfortable with Pat very quickly and absolutely loves her days with Pat. Pat is extremely reliable and always goes above and beyond to accommodate our childcare requirements. Pat will often pick up my older daughter from nursery when needed. When both of us parents are out of the country Pat looks after both of our girls during the day as we know they are in safe hands. Pat always takes extra care when my daughter needs to take medicine or have cream applied throughout the day and I can’t express how valuable she is as a childminder. I most definitely recommend!!!

My daughter (7 years old) has been with Pat for about a year now and she enjoys her stay with her. Pat is everything I hoped I'd find in a childminder. I am very happy with Pat as she looks after my daughter very well. Pat is very reliable. She picks and drops my daughter off to school on time. Pat communicates well with me as well. What I also love about Pat is that she is very empathetic. She would try her best to accommodate us looking after my daughter when there is an emergency. I am a nurse so work long hours. I have no concerns with my daughter’s safety and well-being when she is at Pat’s. Pat creates a fun and educational environment. They go for walks to the park and to the library. Pat is a kind, patient person and fantastic childminder. I highly recommend Pat for anyone looking for top quality, reliable, caring childminding in Thornton Heath.

I am a new mum and Pat has been looking after my daughter for 6 months and I couldn't be happier. Not a bad word to say!! I feel comfortable leaving my daughter in such caring hands when I go to work. Communication is great and i am regularly updated with my daughters developments via pictures and a daily journal. Pats house has a lovely clean homely atmosphere with a special designated area filled with toys and interesting posters. If I was to have any more children, I wouldn't hesitate to let Pat look after them. : )
