Our little boy has been at Mountain View Childcare with Danielle for almost 2years, since he was 10 months old. He absolutely loves his time with 'Auntie Dan' and all his friends. We receive daily photo updates of what he's been up to - crafting, outdoor adventures and much more. His language and social skills have come on a treat. We are so glad we went for a home from home setting rather than a big nursery. Honestly, I couldn't recommend her enough.

I’ve used Danielle for nearly eight years, my children have grown and thrived under her care. They have always enjoyed going to Danielle’s, taking part in a variety of activities, in the house, garden and especially up the mountain.
It’s hard to find childcare as a shift worker with a different rota each week. But Danielle has always accommodated me and the boys, term time and holidays. This has occasionally involved last minute arrangements and Danielle has always helped me out!
It’s hard being a full time working mum and I wouldn’t have managed with Danielle. But Ive always known that my boys are happy and well cared for ☺️

My boys absolutely love going to Danielle. She accommodates my difficult shift pattern and changes days short notice without question. My boys look forward to a fun filled day full of adventure, crafts and learning. Having previous experience with other childcare providers it is such a relief to see the boys happy and eager to go to Danielle , no tears no questions just pure happiness. They always have an amazing variety of meals! And even help to make them! A huge weight off my shoulders knowing they are content and cared for by the best x

I’ve been using Danielle for five years and my boys love going to hers, they quite often don’t want to come home. She ensures they do a wide range of activities, a lot of them being outside. Danielle is also is very flexible and caters for my shift work which life so much easier!!

They absolutely love going to her and are always so happy when they come home. The activities they all do are fantastic. I can highly recommend Danielle’s childcare.

Our son has an amazing time at Dan's and is very happy to leave us every morning :) Dan is incredibly flexible which is so helpful for us as a shift worker. The kids do so much and the activities are varied and include lots of outdoor fun and adventures.
