Susan was truly one of the best things that happened to our family. Our son has been with her for two years, almost every day, and we couldn’t have wished for a better childminder.
Susan is incredibly responsible, caring, and trustworthy. She has created such a warm, loving family environment with all the children in her care, and our son genuinely feels at home with her. She keeps us updated throughout the day and always gives us thoughtful feedback about how he has been.
From our very first meeting, it was clear that Sue genuinely loves what she does and is passionate about caring for children. Her experience, dedication, and lovely character really shine through in everything she does.
As a non-native English speaker myself, I am especially grateful for the impact Sue has had on our son’s language development. His English has improved so much during his time with her, and she has also taught him important values, kindness, and respect.
Sue is not just a childminder — she has become a very special and trusted part of our family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone caring, reliable, experienced, and genuinely wonderful. She really is the best!

Thank you so much for the lovely review.
Our son has been going to Susan for about two years now, and we feel so lucky to have found her. He is growing into a curious and independent toddler thanks to Susan, her partner, and the lovely bunch of children she looks after. He enjoys going to her every day, doing lots of different activities, and always comes home with a smile.
She is very passionate about her work and is always flexible when we need it. She has great experience and has been helping us enormously as first-time parents.
