Amazing childminders

Reviewed

My son attended Little Gigglers from 2019-2020. From the very beginning it was evident how amazing the care was going to be by Donna and Graeme as my son warmed to them both instantly . Their home accommodated all of his learning and care needs perfectly with lots of space and resources for his time there. Hugo always looked forward to his time there and especially enjoyed all of the days out that were planned on different occasions. I always felt at ease that my son was in the best hands whenever he was left in Donna and Graeme’s care . Hugo’s development come on leaps and bounds in the time he was cared for and this was always recorded and accessible for me to view through an app on my phone to view what actives / any additional information throughout the day.
Communication with Donna and Graeme was always easy and they were always very accommodating to work with my shift patterns at the time or even on occasion had Hugo for me if I had taken ill, this kind of support was always very appreciated.
I couldn’t recommend a better place for anyone looking for childcare and I think that their influences on Hugo have been invaluable . Hugo now sees both Donna and Graeme on his way to school and although he is not now in attendance of their care , he will always run to catch up / talk to them both and I think that shows how amazing they are to make such a lasting impression years later . They treat Hugo like he was one of their own and I will always be grateful for their amazing care and the start they gave him in his learning .
