At dionnes tiny stars We provide a safe warm and caring environment where children feel welcomed and loved, and are able to develop at their own pace. over Christmas I have been replacing toys with small parts and natural resources and is a big hit with the children, I live with my husband Malcolm who is my assistant and my 3 daughter who are 11 years old and in full time school and a 7 year old also in full time education and a 2 year old that is going to nursery part time to have her time with out me.

We go on outings to local parks, farms, libraries, playgroups and other local events. I am Ofsted registered. we have 1pet dogs Zuma and a cat called pip.

29 March 2022
A recent inspection revealed a nurturing and stimulating environment where children form strong attachments and develop essential skills. The childminder promotes communication through engaging conversations and encourages a love of books. Personal development is supported via hygiene education and independent play. While the overall assessment is positive, the report suggests enhancing opportunities to enrich and extend children's vocabulary to further support their communication skills.

Couldn't be happier

5 stars

It took me a while to find a childminder I was comfortable with but when we met with Dionne I was instantly happy. She has been so supportive and flexible, which has made the difficult transition of going back to work and leaving the care of my little best mate to someone else as easy as possible.

Even though we have only just started with her I can already tell Rudi is so comfortable and happy there and he loves Dionne. She sends regular updates and he always looks SO happy on all the pictures. Thankyou so much!

Wonderful

5 stars

We have been with her a little while now and our child goes there and comes home ever so happy! He loves every moment and he has come along way too. She truly goes above and beyond to help with the extra help he needs too it's the perfect setting. Taking them out into the local parks, woods and play areas always making things and messy play it has really brought him out of his shell away from home.

Thanks, Dionne!

5 stars

Many thanks for all your care and support given to both myself and my daughter over the past ten months.

She has really loved coming to your house and settled in really quickly. She enjoyed playing in your garden and the outing you have been with her.

Also, a big thank you for picking her up and dropping her off at any time after my phone call. You have been so helpful to accommodate us both.

My daughter still asking me if she is going to your house. She miss you and your family.

All the very best for the future. You have a fantastic set up and work hard to provide a top class service.

Thank you!
