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!

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.

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!
