A home from home

Trudi has been looking after our daughter for two and a half years now, and we couldn't have asked for a better childminder. She is very experienced and brings so much knowledge, patience, and love for what she does. Our daughter loved her right from day one.
Trudi's home is warm, fun, and full of laughter and it genuinely feels like being part of a big, happy extended family rather than a childcare setting. The setup at Trudi's is amazing. There's loads of great toys and play equipment inside, and the garden is brilliant; there's an amazing new covered outdoor play / adventure area and a shipping container kitted out as a soft play space. The kids are always busy, happy, and having a blast whatever the weather.
Our daughter has been on some brilliant trips out, to the zoo, the wetlands centre, and lots of great local outings. She loves the weekly playgroup that Trudi runs in the village hall and looks forward to it every week. We also really love that Trudi takes the children along to the local primary school for their weekly assembly, it's been a lovely way to help our daughter get used to school life and feel confident ahead of starting school next year.
The progress our daughter has made under Trudi's care has been amazing, not only with things like reading, drawing, and her fine motor skills, but with social skills too. She is kind, independent, and polite and Trudi has massively helped shape that.
We feel so lucky to have found Trudi and would recommend her to any family without a second's hesitation. She really is one in a million.
