My son was cared for by Donna for 4 years. He loved his days with her and the adventures they had on day trips.
Donna is a lovely kind and caring person, who will treat your child like her own.
Donna became an extension of the family whilst my son was with her, we never had to worry dropping him off as he was so excited to go.
Donna arranges fantastic activities and helped my son grow so much in confidence whilst he was with her.
If you are considering getting in contact with Donna I would say do not hesitate, it will be the best thing you could ever do!

Thank you so much for your lovely words. It has been such a privilege to care for your son for 4 years and to watch him grow in confidence and personality. We have shared so many wonderful adventures and memories together, and I will always treasure them.
I’m so grateful for the trust you placed in me from the very beginning. Knowing that your son was happy, excited to come each day, and felt so at home means the world to me. Becoming part of your family has been incredibly special, and I truly appreciate your kindness and support throughout the years.
Thank you again for such a heartfelt review — it really means so much to me.
Donna looked after our son from 11 months to 3 years of age. We cannot fault the care provided. A kind, nurturing environment with age appropriate development encouraged. Regular and varied days out were provided; walks in the forest, picnics at Witley Court, the Safari park and many more. We were always kept well informed and updated. Genuine, lovely people.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure to look after your son and watch him grow from a baby into such a confident little boy. We always aim to provide a warm, caring environment with lots of fun learning opportunities and happy memories along the way, so your kind words mean a great deal to us. We truly appreciated being part of your family’s journey and will always look back on our time together fondly. Thank you again for your trust and support.
My daughter has only been with Donna for 4 months but I’ve seen a massive step in her development which comes from the nurturing and peaceful environment Donna has created. She loves going each day and always has the biggest smile when I pick her up. It’s clear to see how much Donna enjoys her job and I couldn’t be more pleased with the choice we made to send our little girl here! On the days when she’s teething or a bit under the weather, Donna always makes sure to give her extra cuddles and attention which helps relieve some of the guilt when dropping her off on a bad day! I will be sad when she has to leave but I couldn’t recommend Donna enough!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means the world to hear how happy and settled your little girl is, and I’m so pleased you’ve seen such a positive difference in her development in such a short time.
She is an absolute joy to care for and always brings such a lovely smile and personality each day. I know how hard it can be leaving your little one, especially on those teething or under-the-weather days, so I’m always happy to give those extra cuddles and comfort when needed.
Thank you again for trusting me with your daughter’s care — it’s been such a pleasure being part of her early years journey so far, and your kind words truly mean a lot to me.
Our little boy has had the pleasure of being looked after and cared for by Donna since he was 9 months old.
He absolutely loves going and always goes in with a massive smile.
Knowing our child is safe, stimulated, and cared for in a warm environment has been a fantastic support to our family.
We’d highly recommend Donna to any parent, she is a very caring and nurturing soul and made me feel so at ease when I was a little nervous when our little boy first started at such a young age.

Thank you so much for your lovely words. It has been such a joy watching your little boy grow and develop since he first started. Seeing him come in with such a big smile every day means the world to me.
I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can feel leaving your child at such a young age, so I’m so pleased that I’ve been able to help you feel comfortable and reassured. Thank you for trusting me to care for him and for your recommendation — it truly means a lot.
