The thought of having to find a childminder was very daunting but from our first contact Hayley put both my child and I at ease.
My child was very anxious but settled very quickly and in the end didn't want to leave as she was having so much fun!
Hayley is very reliable, a great communicator and very nurturing.
I would thoroughly recommend Hayley, 100%!

Hayley has provided care for my little boy since he was 9 months old (he is now 3). From the very beginning, she took the time to understand him & his needs and work with those to get the very best from him. She provided a real home from home and always communicates any concerns she had as soon as they arise. Hayley also offers an incredibly broad, nutritious menu. She listens to what you need & want for your child and works with you to aid your child. In summary, Hayley is an incredibly knowledgeable, lovely & caring childminder and any child placed in her care will excel!

Our daughter Isobel has been with Hayley for the past two years, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. When Isobel first started, she was quite shy, but Hayley has brought her out of her shell completely. Under her care, Isobel has grown into a confident, happy, and amazing little girl who has learnt so much in such a short time.
Hayley provides a warm, nurturing, and fun environment where children thrive, and the progress we’ve seen in Isobel has been incredible. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and support Hayley has given her, and we know that the skills and confidence she has gained will stay with her as she moves on to her next chapter.
We would highly recommend Hayley to any parent looking for a kind, professional, and truly wonderful childminder.
