We’ve had a fantastic experience with Louise. She has taken the time to understand our son Daniel’s individual needs and has shown real care and thoughtfulness in how she supports him, including learning about Down syndrome to better meet his needs.
She is very nurturing, patient, and attentive, and Daniel is always happy and comfortable in her care. She has also made us feel very confident and at ease as parents.
We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and genuinely caring childminder.

We couldn’t have asked for a better start for our daughter than the time she spent with Louise. From day one, Louise provided a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where our daughter truly thrived.
The setting is amazing – full of engaging activities and fantastic opportunities for outdoor learning. Our daughter enjoyed exciting trips throughout the week, and no two days were ever the same. One of the things we especially loved was receiving regular updates and photos throughout the day, it was such a joy to see what they were up to and so reassuring as a parent.
Our daughter grew in confidence, made lots of friends, and learned so much under Louise’s care. Louise didn’t just support the children, she built a lovely little community among the parents too, which made the whole experience even more special.
Saying goodbye was incredibly hard, which says everything about the impact Louise had on our family. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Our eldest started with Louise in 2022 and our youngest started with her in 2024 - they both LOVE their days at Louise's.
They have so much fun, do a variety of activities, have days out and have both learnt so much. Their development has really flourished.
Her setting is just perfect, she uses the "Curiousity Approach", the children eat lovely food and always come home happy.
We feel super lucky to have Louise as our childminder. She really is a lovely person and is fantastic at what she does 😊
