About Me

I am based in Berinsfield, a beautiful village with lots of green space, parks and close to many other lovely villages. Berinsfield also has a lovely family centre that offers stay and play. I will primarily offer a childminding but am able to provide some babysitting services if required.

Leanne is an absolutely amazing childminder and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Our toddler attends her setting 4 days a week and he adores her! He has come on leaps and bounds since starting with Leanne, and quite literally runs to her house shouting her name in excitement!
Leanne is extremely friendly, caring and trustworthy. We get daily feedback on our child via the app, with extra photos, videos and messages showing just how much fun our son is having!
We have found Leanne to be extremely reliable, and she’s brilliant at listening to our needs, and offering support and advice when needed.
Our toddler goes out every day with Leanne, something which is really important to us as parents. They visit farms, the library, soft play, local baby groups, and lots of other places! My husband and I joke that he has a better social life than us!
We couldn’t be happier with the service provided and genuinely feel that we’ve struck gold. Thank you Leanne for everything that you do!

Leanne has helped both my young boys flourish and become more confident within themselves. She is kind, caring and created a great learning environment for my children to grow and develop.
I could not recommend this setting enough, Leanne has made the process of going back to work much easier knowing that both children are being well cared for!

Leanne has been the perfect childminder for my little girl. My little one has always been a quiet girl, a bit nervous around non family members and pretty much a velcro baby who only wants mum - So finding someone she felt comfortable around was my priority. Leanne was incredibly friendly and relaxed from the start and importantly she was really attentive to my little girls likes and interests. They both managed to bond super quickly which was reassuring.
Leanne runs different special activities each week, from book nooks, cuddly toys of her favourite animals, tea parties, and musical performances, to water play, finger painting and ball pits. Every session is something different and child led using fun and play which my girl loves. Her patience, playfulness, silliness and dedication to creating interesting activities has fuelled my girls learning has really helped her develop her communication, walking skills, motor skills and overall confidence in just a few months. I'm often finding her laughing her socks off with happiness on the drive home. I also get regular updates on meals, her wellbeing and activities she's doing through the day which also helps me feel reassured she's definitely having a better day then me :P
Would definitely recommend, I couldn't have wished for a better or more thoughtful childminder!
