I have been childminding for eight years and absolutely love what I do. I provide a warm, friendly and welcoming home-from-home environment where children feel safe, happy and cared for.

Andrea is so friendly and enthusiastic. I felt really comfortable leaving my 11 month old daughter with her immediately, when I went back to work. She provides some great activities for the children and really cares about them all. Her family are also lovely and their home feels very welcoming. My daughter is really happy there.
I would highly recommend her.

I ve visited quite few childminders in the area before I got to Andrea and I must say the environment is far more pleasant.
The house is contemporary decorated and seems clean,
- the covered outside play area won me, as the little one can get fresh air even if it’s raining.
- Andrea is active and takes the children to play groups, parks, etc and most important... keeps the parents updated
- she tries to offer organic, healthy food ... customised for each diet
- she’s extra careful when it comes to safety
- her program is flexible and she is always willing to help
- none the least, the rates are reasonable.
Andrea, her pets and her family makes My daughter feel like she’s got a second home!!!

Andrea is caring and affectionate with my 2 year old daughter. She looks after her well and goes an extra mile to keep the children and the parents happy. She has a huge conservatory with play equipments and a small setup in the living for kids to play. The house is tidy and her own children are very well behaved and kind to my baby. 5 stars
