Francess is such a loving, kind and fun childminder to my children aged 4 and 2. Having worked with Francess several years ago in a nursery, and both of us having children of our own, I was so happy to find out she’d started being a childminder. Having an insider knowledge of how she works with children and her professional experience and knowledge coupled with her warm, comforting and kind nature was an absolute no brainer to trust her to have my children. She does lots of fun activities and my children are so happy. Having a park and playing fields round the corner is a huge advantage too!

I feel so lucky to have met Francess. She is a warm, positive, full of energy person doing her best in any situation. Very understanding and patient. Will always go an extra mile to make my child happy. Constantly keeps me updated by sending texts and pictures/videos. I feel like i can trust her 110%. Happy to recommend her as a lovely person and a great professional.
