Mel's Reviews
Parent
Below are the reviews that Mel has written.
I have been extremely happy with the care T has received, and the great progress she has made whilst in Jo's care. Jo’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and T has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is jo's warm and friendly approach which sets her apart from other childminders we have experienced.

My daughter has been attending Panda Cubs since it opened, and she absolutely loves it. It truly feels like a home-from-home environment where she is happy, safe, and well cared for.
Clair and Nicki are fantastic childminders who take the children on amazing adventures and provide so many opportunities for them to learn and grow. Since being in their care, my daughter has really thrived and her confidence has grown so much.
I would highly recommend Panda Cubs to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive setting for their child.

Panda Cubs have been amazing with our little girl, F, who’s been there since they first opened. She’s now the oldest there, but it’s still her favourite place to be! ❤️
F has struggled a bit with settling into school, so we had to reduce her hours, and Clair and the team have been brilliant at making sure she can still go to Panda Cubs.
Clair has gone out of her way to help F, even getting extra resources to work on her speech. Her speech has come on so much, and her maths has improved loads too. It’s lovely seeing how far she’s come with their help.
F is always talking about the lovely food she has there, and she even reminds her siblings to wash their hands before eating! 😂
We can’t thank Clair, Nicki, Ethan and Maria enough for everything they do for F. They really do go above and beyond, and it means so much knowing she’s happy and loves going there.
If you’re looking for somewhere your child will be cared for, supported and made to feel at home, these are the people you want. We’re so lucky to have them! ❤️
