Just two weeks of taking our daughter to Willow’s place and i see so much difference. Her words are more clear and she has become more expressive. Willow pays attention to details and tailors the care of each children to their personal needs. She is an advocate for healthy eating and snacking and i love that about her.
Her environment is very clean and peaceful. Our daughter won’t stop saying she wants to go to Willow’s place every morning after our two weeks came to an end.
Willow is kind hearted as she gladly took in our daughter even at the last minute and I’m glad we chose her.
I would definitely choose Willow again.

Thank you
Vilo provided excellent care for our little boy (2) and our daughter (4). Not only is she friendly, gentle and caring but also provides a range of activities every day for the children. My daughter particularly loved getting butterflies! I couldn’t recommend this setting enough. Unfortunately our time with Vilo is coming to end as we are relocating but we will all miss her and her wonderful family.

Thank you
Our time with Willows has now come to an end but the care she gave to my little girl was exceptional. From the very first day I have been completely at ease with Willows, she welcomed my baby and gave her the best care, she nurtured her and helped her grow from a baby into a nearly 3 year old.
Willows always gave excellent hand overs and kept me in the loop about everything. Her setting is clean and tidy and has a lovely variety of toys. I highly recommend Wilows to any family.

Thank you
Willow looked after our little boy for two months until his space at the nursery was available and she was so fantastic. My boy had just spent his first year of life only with us, as my wife was in maternity leave and we don’t have grandparents living nearby. We were quite anxious about leaving him with another person, but Willow made this transition very easy for us. She was loving and caring towards him all the time and she reassured us that he would adapt, always giving us updates throughout the day and keeping his routine from home. He grew really attached to her and became very happy each time he had to go to hers. Also, he developed social skills under her care. He used to be anxious about other kids, but now he is interested in them and not scared anymore. This made easier when he started at the nursery.
If you looking for someone to look after your LO, i highly recommend you to contact Willow.
Willow, thank you so much for everything!!

Thank you 🙏🏻
We knew her from when she worked at the kids' nursery, and were very happy that she was able to look after the kids last week. The kids had a really good time, and she is always very understanding of the kids dietary requirements. 5 stars.

Willow has provided amazing care for our son. He joined her in Sept 23 when I returned to work after maternity. From the very first settling in day, she made us feel supported and at ease with leaving him and ensuring he had everything he needed. Over the past 4 months our son has made incredible progress whilst in Willow’s care and he thoroughly enjoys every day with her. We couldn’t be more grateful for all she does for our little boy!

Willow is honestly amazing ! We were really
Worried about sending our daughter to childcare, but willow has done an amazing job to put our mind at ease. Our daughter has settled in well and it’s amazing to see how much she has learnt from willow too. I would highly recommend her and she has made this journey of me going back to work after maternity so much easier for our little family. She goes above and beyond to always accommodate our needs and we are so happy with her.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!!
V was the first ever person to look after my 1 year old. He was super clingy and hard to get to sleep but was always given super care and lots of understanding cuddles. She’s the best person to trust your child with! Thank you so much for all the care you gave to Kai. ❤️

I appreciate your kindness and love always. Thank you for your feedback ♥️
My 2 children (3 and 1 year old) have recently started at Willows and I couldn't be happier with the care so far. They have both settled straight away, despite it being the first childminder setting they have ever been in. Willow has been excellent with communicating with me and she does everything properly. Her house is so clean and the toys are all lovely, she is also extremely qualified in early years childcare. I know my children are going to be really happy here.

What else do I need from a mother? I promise will keep the trust you have in me.
Thank you so much.
super caring and attentive and does a lot of activities with the kids. She looked after both my kids (age 6 and 3) and they absolutely loved her. She’s an absolutely amazing person and I could not ask for anyone better to look after my little ones
