My Summary
About Me
I have been a Ofsted Childminder since 2006, and love every minute of it. 20 years of all childcare experience, married and a mum to 4 grown up children. I also have a granddaughter from child number 1, who we adore. Live in a large house with large safe garden for lots of fun. I feel great satisfaction in my work and I believe in being very flexible to parents needs and understand that juggling working life and childcare is not an easy thing to do. Children are always very happy to visit and I've never had a child that did not want to return. I have more Children friends than adult ones.

I am very happy to recommend Trish, who looked after my son Oliver for around two years.
I first heard about her through recommendations from my friends, and I am so glad I chose her. I have never regretted my decision. From the very beginning, she was caring, kind, patient, reliable, and professional.
I always felt confident leaving my son in her care, knowing that he was safe, happy, and well looked after. My son developed very much with Trish because she was organising him a lot of entertainment and educational and creative work which he was bringing home.
I am very grateful for all the care, love, and support she gave my son over the two years. I would happily recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder.
I’m satisfied with Trish work. My son always liked to go to her home and after some time he didn’t want come back when I was picking him up. He never didn’t complain and he was always happy to be able to go there. We will miss Trish very much. She is a very good person and I can truly recommend Trish.

It been a absolute pleasure. I've loved being part of your lives over these past years and able to watch him grow into the amazing little man ready for school. Miss you all xxx
Honestly 5 stars is not enough ! Trish is the kindest Childminder I could ever have hoped for. My little boy started with Trish when he just turned one a year ago and I was very anxious leaving him with anyone but family . I can safely say Trish now feels like family and my little boy loves going . She is nothing but kind, polite , professional , flexible and so much more. Trish always wants to help with tweaking nap times ect when needed and always rotates toys ect for learning and development needs at each time . She listens and cares . She has a wonderful family home , with a lovely garden for the kids to play in . Trish really is one in a billion
