Holly

The best of the best!

Holly’s House Childminding has to be by far the best childminding service you could ever find. Our little one took a long while to settle in, as he was very clingy to us with separation anxiety. However Holly and Jon took this in their stride and worked very hard with our little one to increase his confidence when away from us, and to make him feel happier and involved when at Holly’s House. They never gave up on him and made sure he was always very loved and comfortable. This was a success as he is now extremely happy and excited to go to Holly’s House, and is so confident, getting involved in all activities and really enjoying himself; even reassuring and comforting other new starters when they are upset away from their parents.

The activities that Holly and Jon do with the children are amazing and varied, and definitely help the children to develop and thrive. They spend a lot of time outdoors and at the allotment with the animals too which we love, as our little one loves being outside in nature with animals. The activities at Holly’s House are very creative and always so much fun for the children.

Holly’s House is like a home away from home setting, where all of the children are extremely well looked after. Holly and Jon are becoming like family, and you can see that they have formed a very strong bond with our little one, which is important for him to feel secure.

Our little one is gluten intolerant, however before this allergy was identified and he was having meals there, the food was always very healthy, well thought out and varied. Holly and Jon even did a gluten free buffet so that our little boy could be involved at the Christmas party at Holly’s House.

Holly and Jon absolutely go above and beyond in all areas, and I’m convinced you’ll never find a better service than them.

Wouldn’t want my daughter anywhere else!

Holly’s house is such a fun, loving and exciting setting. My daughter is happy to go every day. I am absolutely at ease leaving my daughter knowing she is not only learning but more importantly having a fun day! I get updates every day and pictures frequently which is a highlight of my day to see how happy my daughter is. She loves seeing Holly and Jon.
My daughter has improved with eating a large variety of food since attending Holly’s house, I had a struggle getting her to try foods before hand!
Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for childcare ❤️

Home away from Home

I was highly recommended to Holly after needing childcare for my baby at the time 9 months old.
As soon as we met Holly I knew I wanted Blossom to be in her care. Her warm, caring nature and gorgeous home was the perfect setting for my little one to enjoy.
She’s constantly keeping me updated and communication if great throughout the day.
I always know the days about fun as well as learning and I feel so confident she’s in the best hands.
There’s always a variety of food and snacks at mealtimes and I’m always informed on what she’s had.
Holly’s house is just what I wanted for Blossom and I feel so at ease leaving her there.

A truly amazing childminder who feels like family

Moving my little girl from a nursery setting to a childminder was the best decision i could have made. From the very beginning Holly house made my little girls transition so easy and was handled with such care, patience, and understanding that it instantly put me at ease.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my little girl has received. From day one, the warmth, patience, and genuine love shown everyday have been nothing but outstanding. Me and my little girl feel safe, valued, and she is so excited to go each day, which speaks volumes.
The environment is always welcoming, stimulating, and perfectly suited to support learning through play. Activities are thoughtfully planned, encouraging creativity, confidence, and development, while routines provide a reassuring sense of structure. This has helped my little girl not only develop with Holly’s house childminding but also at home.
Communication is excellent — I am always kept informed and feel completely involved in my little girls progress. Most importantly, she is thriving: happy, confident, and created friends.

Finding someone you trust completely with your child is priceless, and i truly feel I’ve found a gem. Seeing my little girl come home smiling, happy and talking about her day is priceless. I would recommend Holly without hesitation to any parent looking for exceptional care. 💖 absolutely fantastic
