After moving house, we had to change childminders, which was not an easy decision as I already trusted the people who cared for my daughters before. Denise made the transition so much easier – she listened to my concerns, asked questions, and gave me the confidence to trust her with my girls.
My youngest daughter (18 months) is usually very selective with people, so I was most worried about her. To my surprise, from the very first day she felt comfortable and safe with Denise. She has since grown in confidence, is always happy to go, and has clearly built a lovely bond with her. My eldest (4 years) was only with Denise for a short time before starting school, but also settled quickly,
Denise gives regular updates, is flexible with our schedule, and creates a warm, caring environment. I am truly grateful for her and would recommend her to any parent without hesitation.

I’ve been really impressed by Dee who has been so welcoming for my two children. She is really put them at ease in their new setting. She plans activities and goes out as well. They always enjoy the food that Dee provides. Would highly recommend.

Denise is simply the best! My twins were with her for a few months and they had the best experience with her. I saw such positive changes in their development and I owe it to her! I highly recommend her!
