Ben has been our childminder since September 2025, our daughter attends 3 days a week.
Ben is welcoming, attentive and kind in his practice and his provision reflects this. Ben has a lovely routine for the children which enables their independence and this has been reflected in our home.

Transition, was one of the best I have ever been involved in! It was smooth and Ben had taken the time to really get to know each child and a few 'get to know me' days. By day 3 it was like our daughter had never not been there! Relationships are at the heart of what Ben does best, allowing her to feel settled or to notice if she is not 100%. This offers us peace of mind and knowing she is in the best hands.
Ben provides healthy, home cooked meals, often picked from the allotment.

They are constantly out and about, always on an adventure! Being outside is very important to us and Ben always ensures they are in sun cream, hats or wet weather clothing so they can enjoy the activities to the maximum. Ben speaks to the children in such a nurturing and respectful manner and we often hear this wonderful way in his voice notes.

We are kept updated throughout the day of all the wonderful things our daughter gets up to through photos or voice messages which are wonderful to receive on your break in a working day!

Ben goes above and beyond and has supported us as first time parents in ways we will be forever grateful. Offering tips, strategies or just some reassurance balancing work and parent life.

Our daughter has had so many wonderful opportunities available to her to come out of her comfort zone which has shaped her personality and built her confidence. We plan to keep her hear as long as we possibly can!
