Cindy's Reviews

Superb!

Cindy has looked after my granddaughter five days a week for over two years now. She is an absolutely amazing childminder in every regard and our lives only function as they do thanks to her support and flexibility. She has our absolute trust and confidence, and has had that since day 1.

Her setting is amazing, highly educational, completely safe and immaculate. Her warmth, kindness, compassion and care show through in every single interaction. She is flexible, adaptable, and willing to help if there is a problem. She is highly organised, extremely knowledgable in her field, and the consummate professional in every regard. She places great emphasis on her own development and that of the children in her care, and that shows in the quality of the care provided.

My granddaughter absolutely adores her, is delighted to go there every day, and constantly tells us how much fun she is having.

If you are looking for a childminder you will do exceedingly well to find anyone half as good, never mind any better. Absolute recommendation from us, if you are looking for childminding support and she has space then snap her up!

Thank you so much for such an incredibly kind and thoughtful review. I was genuinely touched reading your words.

It has been an absolute privilege to care for your granddaughter over the past two years and to watch her grow, learn and develop into the wonderful little character she is. Knowing that she comes into my setting happy, feels safe and secure, and goes home telling you all about the fun she has had means more to me than I can say.

I also really appreciate the trust that you and your family have placed in me from the very beginning. As a childminder, being trusted with someone’s most precious little person is something I never take for granted.

I put so much time, care and thought into creating a safe, nurturing and educational environment for the children, so to have that recognised in such a lovely way is incredibly rewarding.

Thank you also for acknowledging the support and flexibility I try to provide. Childcare is very much a partnership with families, and having such a wonderful relationship with you all makes my job even more enjoyable.

Your recommendation truly means the world to me. Thank you for being such a supportive grandparent and for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. It has been, and continues to be, a pleasure having your granddaughter as part of the Owl Babies family.

A super experience

Cindy is a lovely, welcoming but very professional individual. My son has additional needs and i had to leave him with a sitter for the first time which I was terrified about. She gave me so much reassurance, regular updates through the day including photos and the environment in which she childminds is clean, safe and has resources such as toys which is lovely . She is thorough with details before, during and after the service and would definitely use her services again.

Thank you so much, Jennifer, for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It truly means a lot to me.

I completely understand how daunting it can feel leaving your child with someone new, especially when they have additional needs, so I’m delighted that I was able to provide you with reassurance and make the experience a positive one for both you and your son.

Building trusting relationships with families, maintaining clear communication, and providing a safe, clean, nurturing environment where every child feels valued are at the heart of everything I do. I’m so pleased you felt supported throughout your experience.

Thank you once again for your kind words and for trusting me with your son’s care. I would be delighted to welcome you both back in the future. 🦉

Cindy was great!

My son was with Cindy for the whole day and it went very well. He had lots of activities, and Cindy made sure that the day was fun for my son. He was a happy when I saw him in the afternoon, no sign of stress at all. Cindy knew how to deal with young children. I will definitely go back to her if she has space. Thank you Cindy.

Thank you for this lovely surprise review Jennifer. I really appreciate this, thank you 😊

The perfect Childminder.

We were super nervous about leaving our boy with a childminder. We'd seen others and left their houses worrying about what we'd do as it just wasn't right. We visited Cindy and knew straight away we'd found the one. Not only was her house perfectly set up to look after children, Cindy herself was warm, and wonderful and we knew we could trust her right away. Looking at her credentials, and ethos on childminding just even further sealed the deal.

Our boy was only with Cindy for 1 month before starting Nursery and we wish it could have been longer. He was so happy every day, and even came home with little paintings that he'd done. Throughout the day we were kept up to date with how he was and got sent photos. He made a friend whilst there and they played together perfectly.

We can't recommend Cindy highly enough and hope to stay and touch and go back at some point.

This is such a touching review. I am so happy to hear that you were very pleased with my service. I always strive to be the best for the children in my care and to give them an everlasting experience. Thank you for putting your lovely baby boy in my care and having that trust in me. I really appreciate your fantastic review. You are always welcome to bring him back once I have a part-time space. Thank you Tim and Laura.

Fabulous childcare provider

Cindy is a real gem ! She is patient, accommodating and caring . She put both myself and my son at ease as we were both quite anxious. He had a lovely time and she handled his autistic tendencies very well. She gave me regular updates through the day and after a fun filled day my son had a very good sleep 😴. Thankyou Cindy x

She is very knowledgeable about children care whether is their physical, mental or emotional development, she has always been a great support and she really cares about your child. She makes learning fun and the children look forward to spending time with her.
