My three children have attended Little Bunnies since July 2021. Throughout that time we have always been extremely happy with the care and attention provided to our children and we have always felt very conformable leaving our children knowing they were being so well looked after.
Rebecca’s home is always immaculate and she creates a really warm family environment. She has lots of fantastic resources, which the children play and learn with. Rebecca does lots of different educational activities promoting a positive learning environment for children of all ages in her setting.
Rebecca puts pictures on the FAMLY app of any days out or fun activities so we always feel involved in the children’s progress and any new adventures they have had that day. On the rare occasion that any of children get upset on drop off, Rebecca always send a picture straight away showing me that they are happy and playing.
My children have always enjoyed being able to mix with other children from the child care setting and we love to hear about the friendships they have developed.
Rebecca keeps the children’s progress updated in line with the EYFS. She is really passionate about her job and the role of child minders as teachers and educators and she successfully completed her degree while still working full time as a child minder.
Rebecca does lots of arts and crafts with the children and always celebrates any cultural festivities with the children.
Rebecca has a clear strategy of encouraging positive behavior, being respectful and treating other children with kindness. She has always maintained excellent communication with us and discussed any incidents of concerns. Health and safety is of utmost importance and she always ensures that the children are safe and all necessary risk assessments and records of incidents are completed.
When the children have been ill, Rebecca has always kept us well informed and allowed us time to get to her while still maintaining the safety of all the children under her care. Rebecca has done an amazing job in managing her childcare setting throughout the pandemic particularly where clear communication was key.
She is always calm and has always been able to comfort the children when they have been upset or feeling unwell. This is due to the strong bond she has built with them. Not only the strong bond with Rebecca but also Linda, Pam, Millie and her wider family who are all wonderful and add to the real family feel that sets Little Bunnies apart from other childcare settings.
Due to nature of our jobs we needed a childcare setting that offered some flexibility. I can honestly say Rebecca regularly goes above and beyond to support us and help us out.
I feel like my children are thriving under Rebecca’s care. She has an excellent understanding of the individual needs of my children and how to bring out the best out in them. I feel she really knows and understands each of my children. We couldn’t ask for more!

My little boy is 10 months old and hadn’t been going to rebecca’s for very long but we had to take him out due to my change in job. Rebecca has a lovely welcoming settling that is home from home. As soon as we went to visit we could tell she was the type of person that would go above and beyond for the children and Harley seemed to take to her very quickly. Due to other bad experiences with childcare it was so lovely to go pick Harley up from rebecca’s and have such a positive energy when greeted at the door from her and her staff. All Harley’s needs was taken into great consideration and her flexibility was amazing! The communication through the day was brilliant and I can tell great thought and care goes into her setting and the way she runs things as I’ve never felt so at ease leaving my baby as I have done with rebecca. I just wish he could have stayed longer as I know he would have been so happy.

My daughters have been going to Rebecca for almost 6 months now and they couldn't be happier. It's such a good sign when they both run in on a morning and my youngest cries when I pick her up!
I spoke to lots of childminders prior to settling on Happy Dayz. I got a good vibe from Rebecca. She was friendly, warm and welcoming when I spoke to her over the phone. Exactly like she is in person!
I was so nervous about sending the girls to a childminder during the middle of a pandemic but as a student nurse it's paramount they are in childcare. I needed have worried. Rebecca has always been upfront about safety being paramount and nothing will compromise that. Social distancing and covid19 rules are always adhered to and Rebecca has been amazingly fantastic with the fact my hours/days have changed and has accommodated us where she can.
I think of Rebecca now as a friend and love that there's such a close bond between her and my girls. Everything from fees, allergies, food preferences has never been an issue. We work together as a team to sort out any issues and I'm sure the girls will continue to go for a really long time!

Although our time with Rebecca and the team has been short, they have been incredibly welcoming and provided great care for our little one. These are the first people we have left our child with and he has been able to form a bond with everyone. Rebecca was very flexible and supportive in terms of settling in sessions and making us all feel at ease. Thank you!

I moved house in May and decided to go with happydayz as they were close to my new house and were very flexible with hours unlike nurseries where you have to pay for full sessions. I am delighted with the move as Rebecca and her mother and mother in law are so loving and caring with axl and has that personal touch nurseries just don’t have I feel way more relaxed at work knowing axl else like he’s at home get his cuddles that he loves and is fed really well (he had a huge appetite) rebecca gives him all home cooked food and healthy snacks. Axl can also be very accident prone but in the past 5 month with Rebecca he has never had a bump. He loves going to Rebecca’s never had any tears he tries to open her door before she answers and Rebecca sends me direct pictures sometimes of his days and what he’s been up to which is just lovely when I’m at work. He enjoys arts crafts and day trips here. I highly recommend Rebecca.

Although our time with Rebecca was brief, in that short time she demonstrated that she was a very friendly and flexible childminder. She was extremely kind and patient not only with us and our situation but also with our daughter who is by no means a quiet character. It was the first time we had left our child in anyone elses care and we were grateful to recieve photos and videos which showed our daughter being welcomed and cared for by the whole family. We were always certain that our child was affectionately cared for by all of Rebecca's team.

None of my children have been to a childminder before so I was naturally apprehensive about sending them. Especially my youngest who was so clingy and wouldn't go to anyone other than me. Becky was amazing from our first visit where her gentle and friendly nature were evident and the children took to her straight away.
In just 3 months, I've seen progress with all 3 children but more noticeably, I've seen a massive improvement in Matthew's confidence and independence and his speech has vastly improved. The children adore Becky, Pam and Ryan and have been welcomed into their family like they belong there. Fuss and cuddles are available in abundance and I feel happy leaving my children with someone who clearly loves and cares for them. I couldn't ask for anyone better to leave my most important people with.

I was let down by a chilminder I had set up when I started my new job, and after struggling to find a childminder that fit in with my work pattern I came across rebecca. She was very friendly when I went to meet her with my son and a lovely home and child friendly, clean enviroment. My son took no time at all to settle in and loves going. His development has come on in leaps and bounds since starting at Rebecca's, and all the other children there are all welcoming and friendly. Would recommend Rebecca to any parent looking for peace of mine that their child will be looked after very well when they are at work.

Thank you for your lovely comments Lynne, Much appreciated. X
My son Hugo started with Becky in January 2016 when we moved to Drighlington. While searching for childcare before we moved I was finding it extremely hard to find a childminder who would accommodate my early shifts that I would be required to work. Becky was very helpful with this and as I can't drive she also said that she would be able to pick Hugo up and drop him back for me for a small charge which has made it so much easier for me. Since receiving childcare with Becky and her lovely assistant Pam I have noticed a huge change in Hugo's progress and confidence which is great for me to see. I really can tell by the big smile on his face that he always has a great time there while I am at work.
As a single parent and not having my family close by to help out it was essential to find a childminder that I could trust and rely on. I feel very lucky to have found Becky, Pam and the rest of her lovely family as they really have made Hugo feel so welcome from day one.
I would highly recommend Becky to anyone that is looking for childcare in the area as she really is great.
Thank you

Thank you for the lovely comments you have made Abi. They mean alot!
Its such a pleasure looking after your little one. x
i have 2 children currently staying with Becki for 6 hours a week, my little girl is 6 and my little boy is 3. I knew that I would not have a problem with libby settling in as she is a happy go lucky little girl, but Harry is very clingy and very shy around new people, Becki and her husband made him very welcome so this gave me peace of mind. He looks forward to Tuesday and Thursday as that's the days they go. I have quite a few behavior problems with HArry but since been there I can see a dramatic change in him his manners have rally come on and the paddying as stopped, my children always say they have had a good time and enjoy all meals. also I have had to call on a couple of accasions at short notice and asked to swap my days and Becki and her staff have done there best to try and help I can't thank her and her family anough xxx thank you xx
