Our son started with Elaine at around 19 months old. Being a covid baby and never being cared for by anyone else it felt like it was going to be so hard getting him settled. Elaine goes above and beyond her duties of a childminder, she made us feel at ease in the early days when he was finding it hard to settle and she never gave up. Fast forward to our son turning 3, he walks into Elaines home like its his own, his confidence and development since being in Elaines care has thrived. Seeing him interact in social settings now and everything he learned in Elaines care - we are so grateful.
Daily diaries were always something I looked forward to hearing about what he had got up to that day what nutritious and delicious food he had ate. Even down to the stories they had at story time the detail Elaine would give is amazing.
Elaine really does welcome each child to become part of her extended family, my son has now seamlessly transitioned into preschool which I can honestly say is all thanks to Elaine being that stepping stone and a huge part of his early years journey.
Thank you so much Elaine, and for anyone considering a childminder I cannot express how highly I would recommend Elaine.
Elaine has looked after our son since he was 10 months old and he is now 3. He will be starting pre school full time meaning our time with Elaine is sadly coming to an end in December.
Elaine is caring, committed and all round amazing. She made our son feel happy, safe and we never incurred any issues.
We have created an amazing relationship with Elaine and hope to use her again when our daughter has arrived.
Elaine offers breakfast, snacks and a cooked meal everyday which is amazing as she is the only childminder in the area I know that offers that! She also included nappies and wipes when our son was still in nappies. That is all included in her hourly rate which is so handy and helpful.
If Elaine has ever had any concerns with our sons development she would always sit down and have a conversation with us so we can have full understanding.
Elaine sends a daily diary everyday at the end of the day with a break down of their routine, including what they have eaten that day, what activities they have been up to! Even down to their toilet routine which is really helpful
Elaine’s house is well kept, very clean and inviting which multitudes of activity’s and toys for the children to play with.
Elaine has been absolutely amazing. Looked after our little boy from 9 months old to 3 1/2 years. The care he received was second to none. He absolutely loved going to Elaine's and settled in really quickly. Felt like a member of the family. Great routine, healthy tasty meals and a good mix of activities. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a childminder. Thank you so much.
My eldest daughter has been with Elaine from age 4 to age 11 and my youngest from eight months who is now 2 1/2. Elaine is one of the most kind caring woman I have ever met and my children absolutely love being with her.
