When we first met Donna we were blown away by her professionalism, facilities and high octane enthusiasm. Previously we had only used large nurseries with our first child, so going down the child-minder route with our second child was a step into the unknown. She instantly put us at ease and advised us on the kind of requisites a competent child-minder should have, along with the kind of questions that we should be asking….

Then she sent us one our way to go and meet other child minders!!

We found straight away that the bar had been set incredibly high and search as we may, it was inevitable that we would end up back at Cookie Maison. Ultimately the decision was made by our 1 year old daughter, Yasmin, who instantly felt at home with Donna and settled in quickly with little fuss.

Due to one of us working shifts, childcare has always been a sore point. Donna has been more than accommodating and on several occasions has been a real life saver by stepping in at short notice.

A year has passed since we first set foot in Donna’s beautiful log cabin and in that time she has developed an amazing outdoor space to compliment it that is safe and functional. Yasmin loves her time there and now sees it as a home away from home.

We can't recommend Donna enough to people and even if you are just toying with the idea of using a child minder, you owe it to yourself to go and see what she has to offer.
