Beth has looked after my daughter (aged 2) for the last 5 months & it has been amazing. My daughter is like a member of her family now (we all are). My daughter goes on many outings & has learnt so many things. She is jumping over her mile stones & is thriving in Beth’s care. My daughter is happy to attend, eats well, sleeps well & is making many friends. I cannot recommend her enough.

My Phylo has spent two years with Beth from the time he was two, and she was fantastic from day one. He learned so much from her he was so happy and settled with her from the jump, and she was so supportive through all of his assessments and his development and so communicative with everything he did during his time with her.
I will always recommend Beth, she is so thoughtful and caring with all of the children she minds and has such an incredible bond with each and every one of them. We were so sad to move on from her!

Beth hands down was truly the most wonderful childminder I could have ever dreamed of. She always put 110% into all her children she looked after and I was constantly updated with pictures and information what they got up to in the days with Beth. My children were always so excited and happy to go to Beth’s, she always did different activities with them and they learned so much and come so far. I couldn’t recommend you enough! Thank you for being the best childminder ever! X
