⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 150% Recommend! Such a Wonderful Childminder!
I am so incredibly pleased and grateful for the almost year my son has spent with her. When he first came, he couldn’t speak, couldn’t express himself, and could barely do anything on his own. Since he stepped through her door, God has been so good every bit of progress has been amazing to see.
She is such a lovely, God-fearing woman with a truly kind heart. You can see she cares deeply for every child. Not once have I picked him up and found him unhappy or unkempt every single day he is clean, neat, and looked after so well. She is endlessly supportive, has so many wonderful resources and ways to help the children grow, learn, and thrive. The change in my son is just wonderful.
It honestly makes me sad that he’s leaving now, but I will definitely come back to visit she feels like family. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, wonderful place for your child, do not hesitate. I recommend her 150%you won’t find better care. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️

Aunty Dee and her childcare services have been nothing short of amazing. The way she cares for my son, as if he is her own. He is learning, playing, making friends and his progress since joining Aunty Dee's setting has been amazing to watch.
Aunty Dee is very intentional about the quality of her staff (which I appreciate), the kids learning and everything she does for the kids. And for this I'm super grateful.
I couldn't recommend her enough. She is also flexible - which has been helpful for my husband and I as we navigate wraparound care and work, and a new baby.
Aunty Dee is an extension of my family and my husband and I are grateful to her for her continued care of my son.

We are so grateful to have had Dee as our children's childminder. She is caring , kind and patient , and genuinely dedicated to the children in her care. From the very beginning she made our children feel safe, happy , and comfortable , which gave us a great peace of mind. My son and daughter both greatly developed their knowledge and also learnt a lot in her settings.

Deeblooms is a truly 5-star nursery. Our son settled in so quickly and genuinely loves his days here. The team is fantastic, not only providing brilliant activities and care but also going the extra mile to help with his homework, which has been a massive support for us. He is always happy and full of stories at pick-up time. We have seen him grow in confidence and can't thank you enough. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent 🤗.

Thank you so much,it was a pleasure supporting your child
I cannot recommend Dee-blooms highly enough! From the moment my children step into her care, I have complete peace of mind knowing they are in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. Her home is always neat, warm, and welcoming—creating the perfect space for little ones to feel comfortable and happy.
It is clear that she has a genuine love for children. She is incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, always ensuring that each child feels valued and cared for. My kids absolutely adore their time with her, and it’s heartwarming to see how much they thrive under her care.
As a parent, finding someone you can trust with your children is priceless, and I feel so lucky to have found [Childminder’s Name]. If you are looking for a childminder who truly goes above and beyond, look no further!

I’ve been taking my 3 year old sister to Deeblooms for quite sometime and ive been consistently impressed with the care and attention my child receives at this childcare. Dee is not only professional but also creates a warm and welcoming environment. My sister has had an awesome time and I wouldn’t change it for the world !
