The most amazing and reliable, trusting child minder you can ask for honestly she is amazing my daughter has sen and can be difficult and Wendy and Annieka have been nothing short of amazing with my daughter I know she has always been safe at Wendy’s. couldn’t recommend a better childminder in the area.

I can not fault Wendy and annieka for there care. The setting is spot on and my twins adore them both. They go above and beyond for the children in their care ..they give encouragement and confidence in the children. The food provided is lush and my children always eat what is given as they are given a choice. Communication is really good and they always let me know of anything even if minor.. I can't say enough other than definitely give them a chance

Literally the most amazing childminders you will find they work very hard with the children, have great communication with parents. My daughter is awaiting an assessment for autism Wendy and Annieka have done nothing but support me an my daughter. Would highly highly recommend.

My 10 month old baby started settling in with Wendy 4 weeks ago, however we have been in contact with each other since October. Since then Wendy has been very thoughtful and has always ask how we are and more importantly how my son is. Wendy even remembered when he had an operation and wished us well...she definitely goes the extra mile!
I made my decision to go with Wendy because as soon as i walked through the door, she intergrated Zavier with the other children and I watched how the other children received praise for there achievements.
My son has settled in really well, he especially loves the outdoor play area and they show him so much love which he loves.
Wendy's house provides a high level of security and Wendy and Annieka make sure that all child protection policies are followed.
If you are looking for a childminder, I highly recommend them, I visited 2 other childminders before i made my decision and I just knew within the first 5 minutes where i wanted my son to go.
