My Summary
Holly’s House Childminding
About Me
Hello! I'm Holly, a childminder based in Wythenshawe. I offer a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I am also a huge animal lover and have 2 cats, 1 dog, 3 horses and 4 chickens which I love to involve throughout my everyday teaching and we take weekly visits to the farm to get hands on with my horses. I believe in the power of the outdoors and animals to inspire children. Whether we're exploring nature, visiting farms, or meeting big animals like horses and dogs, I ensure each day is full of adventure and learning. I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun environment where your child can grow, develop empathy, and enjoy the beauty of the natural world.

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 ❤️

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.

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
