We are very happy with our childminder. She drops our daughter off at school and picks her up afterwards, which is a huge help for us. Our daughter is always excited to go and loves spending time there, especially playing with the childminder’s own children, which makes it feel like a real family environment. She also really enjoys the food provided. We feel confident knowing she is happy, well cared for, and settled. Highly recommended.

My two daughters go to Chenelle every morning before school and they love it, they are always excited to go and see her and her own children. Chenelle is lovely and is always happy and has a smile on her face. My girls can be quite shy with new people but they took to Chenelle immediately and that in its self speaks volumes. Would highly recommend Chenelle to other parents.

Chenelle is a great childminder. She currently looks after my daughter full time as she has recently left nursery. I cannot thank her enough for the kindness and patience she has shown her. My daughter has settled in so well it is great not having to worry whilst I am at work. Chenelle is always busy doing something with her and she has settled in great. I cannot recommend enough. Lovely house and very clean also with all the toys a little one could want. She also regularly updates us throughout the day which I love.

She is such a joy to work with. Always have a smile on her face all the time. She is very easy to approach for anything, and her feedback of your child at the end of the day is constructive. I could not ask for a better person to look after my boys. Very patient with my LO. Thank you, Chenelle, for being a caring and loving person. I rest well at work knowing that my kids are getting the best care. Much appreciated!

My little boy has been really enjoying his time with Chenelle. She has been very professional with everything yet she feels like a friend. My little boy feels comfortable with her which puts my mind at ease. She takes him out to playgroups and to the park so he gets to experience different settings. Would highly recommend

My son has been going to Chenelle for almost a month now and absolutely loves the time there. They go out, do arts and crafts, all sorts of activities. He is always so happy when he’s there and has a lot to tell me when I collect him. Highly recommended ☺️
