Dionne is the most nurturing and warm childminder you could ask for. She has cared for both of my children, and they absolutely adore her. I spent months searching for the right childminder and something always felt like it was missing when I met other providers. From the moment I met Dionne, I felt completely at home and knew she was the right person to care for my daughters.
The setting is amazing, you have to see it to believe it, it’s not like other places. Dionne takes them out regularly and we always enjoy getting updates on their days out.
Her husband and children are equally amazing, and they truly make you feel like part of the family. I genuinely cannot recommend this setting enough. It has been a wonderful experience, and I am already dreading the day we have to say goodbye.
You truly won’t regret meeting them.

We have previously used Dee as our childminder before she had her little one and she was fantastic.
Our son has additional needs and Dee went above and beyond with him everyday and gave us plenty of updates through out the day.
We saw some big changes in his behaviour when he went to tiny stars and we couldn’t have been more thankful!

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!
