Barbara is great!! My son attended Barbara's setting for nearly 12 months. He's communication skills came on great whilst at barbaras, she always kept me informed how.he was getting on every day and things he discovered he liked. Barbara was always foing something with the children whether that be days out, park or craft work.. Barbara always accommodated our needs. Honestly, if you can choose this childminder then do! You won't be disappointed. I have certainly made a friend for life and my son also has friends with her family.

I work at the Alexandra hospital and needed my son to be collected from school from the first phone call she was great. My son has been going to Barbara for a few weeks now she picks him up from Woodrow first school. He is so happy there and from the first visit we were made to feel so welcome. He has an amazing time there and can’t wait to go everyday. I would highly recommend.
