Barbara is a wonderful childminder who creates a nurturing and engaging environment for my daughter. Her days are filled with a variety of well-planned activities that my daughter genuinely enjoys—she always looks forward to going. Everything is beautifully organised, and Barbara’s communication is clear, friendly, and reassuring. I feel confident and grateful knowing my daughter is in such caring hands.

Barbara has been caring for my two-year-old daughter for the past few weeks. My daughter is very attached to me, and I was concerned that the adjustment period would take a long time. However, within the first week, she stopped crying at drop-off and now happily walks through the gate. I can see that she receives a great deal of warmth and is looked after with exceptional professionalism.
I’ve also noticed a positive change in her behavior at home—she’s more focused and responsive when I explain that we need to do something. She listens attentively and behaves well. I’m deeply grateful to Barbara for the care and attention she provides to my child.

We are delighted with the childminding service provided by Barbara. She is extremely professional and provides a safe and stimulating environment for children to play (her garden is fantastic)! She takes the children on trips out and my son has always come home happy and tired from a fun day of playing.

Barbara has been taking care of my son for over a year. She is a very nice, kind, creative and resourceful person. The children gain many different skills from her, they learn through play. My son loves going to her.
