Donna L

Best Childminder.

We had the pleasure of having Donna look after our son for 2 years from the age of 1 to 3 yrs old.
Our son absolutely loved his time with her and we were instantly at ease with her organisation, manner and most of all her kindness. She always had interesting activities for the children to engage in which made it far more than just child care.

Outstanding child care couldn't hope for better

Donna looked after both of my children after being highly recommended to me by several friends. She looked after my daughter from 6 months and then when I had my son she looked after both of them from him being 2 months old while I was at uni and when I moved into full time employment.
My children loved Donna and I was devastated when I learned she was moving up to Whitley Bay as she was the best childminder I could have wished for. In her care my children were well looked after, well stimulated they always came home excited telling me about the fun they had. Donna's house was always clean and tidy with plenty of toys and activities. They went to various playgroups and built fantastic social skills. Donna kept diary a for me so everyday I knew what they had done/eaten.
Donna was so incredible she looked after my daughter and older son as emergency care when I went into labour.
Donna and her family are lovely, really down to earth people and I cannot have wished for a better place for my children to go. It means a lot to have someone I know I can fully trust to look after the most precious people in my life. In the 3 years my children were with Donna I never once had a problem, she never let me down and was an absolute diamond.

Donna's a Star

Donna was my daughter Rosy's childminder for 10 years, from the age of 9 months old. From the very start, Donna ensured Rosy was well cared for, loved and stimulated every day.
Donnas house is always of a very high standard, clean, tidy, smoke free and always full of a large variety of toys and stimulating equipment. Outside play is always encouraged and Rosy was always taken to playgroups, toddler play sessions and regular trips to the parks.
Donna always keeps a diary to log your child's progress which I found so helpful. All of Rosy's first experiences was with her beloved Donna. Advice was always available, without Donnas help I couldn't have held down my job as she went above and beyond what was asked of her.
She has loads of experience in children's nutrition and health issues and has a solution for most problems that can occur when it comes to a child's wellbeing.
I have never really thanked her properly for all her support and love that she gave me and my daughter, so the opportunity to put this in writing and to let her know how much we love her and her family is long overdue.

More than a childminder

Donna has been looking after our first born between the age of 8 months old till 2 years old when I stopped working.
Donna has always given the best care to my son, giving him lots of affection and spending lots of time helping him develop into a confident baby then toddler. Her lovely family welcomed my son as one of their own and I felt so happy to know my boy was safe, loved and so well looked after when I was at work.
Donna was such a wonderful support to me as a mummy as well, always willing to give me the little tips I was seeking as a new mummy. She has great experience and it's so easy to get on with her and fully trust her. She is one lovely lady that I recommend very highly.
