Dee has looked after all 3 of my children either during the day or pick up’s after school. She is very reliable and never has a day off sick! My son absolutely loves going to Dee’s and he has a lovely little friendship group. Dee takes the children out to various places, toddler groups, etc and my son loves them. Dee always keeps us parents in the loop with what’s going on and sends pictures throughout the day of activities they are doing. I would highly recommend Dee! We would be lost without her.

Thank you for your kind review
We feel very fortunate to have found Dee to provide childcare for our two children. It is obvious that she loves her job and the children she cares for. She understands each child as an individual and takes the time to find out their likes/dislikes, interests etc.
I honestly don't know where Dee gets her energy from! The children are busy from the moment they arrive. They are always out and about, crafting, singing/dancing, playing games and more. She has lots of resources (including a dedicated playroom and lovely garden) and has the children constantly learning in a fun, engaging way. Dee encourages the children in her care to be independent and provides them with the skills they need to achieve this.
Both of our children are now at school and we no longer require additional childcare but we are very grateful to Dee for the safe, secure, educational and fun environment that she provided whilst they were in her care.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dee to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing setting for their child.

Thank you for your kind review 😊
Dee is an expert in caring . I have known her for at least 4 years and she cares for my 2 boys. She loves what she does and the kids love her . She is quite flexible . The kids have a varied timetable and she takes them to so many places. I love that she goes out with the kids which gives them great exposure - museums , fun parks , soft play, toddler groups -you name it . And its at no additional cost. She has a varied food menu and did well with my boy who was a fussy eater but now enjoys his food. Shes been brilliant with him. Dee is also supportive and goes the extra mile e.g picking up kids from home sometimes . Her setting is clean and she is a great communicator with an open door policy , always cheerful , helpful . Shes amazing . Thank you Dee we love you

Dee has been looking after my daughter since September 2016. Dee is always very friendly, and brilliant with the children!
My daughter absolutely loves going to Dee's in the morning's, so much so I barely get a goodbye when I drop off :)
As a working mum, it is great to know my daughter is being cared for in the best possible way.... I would highly recommend Dee as a childcare provider!

Dee has been caring for my son (Milo) for the past 3 years and I couldn't ask for more from a loving attentive child minder. She really is one of a kind!
As a parent what I love most about Dee is the warm and friendly environment she creates for the children and how child focused she is. Dee is very friendly, approachable and she genuinely cares for each of the children she has in her care.
Milo absolutely loves going to Dee's and playing in her perfect child care setting. Dee has a dedicated playroom fully equipped with a variety of play and educational toys, and which also has direct access to a very large garden. The garden is very geared towards the child and includes a children's gardening area, Trampoline, swings, slide and ride-on's amongst other things. During the summer months if Dee hasn't taken the children out on one of the many day trips that they do, then Milo loves the days they spend in the garden in the paddling pool with the 'water slide'.
Dee has played a key part in Milo's educational and physical development. Through discussions together we agreed when we both thought Milo was ready to be toilet trained and Dee was more than happy to accommodate; in fact she did most of the hard work and made the whole process very easy. Equally Dee consistently ensures Milo is learning through a variety of means whether that be through conventional means or taking him to country parks, Milestones museum or exhibitions.
As a working parent It is so reassuring to know that your child is going to a home from home setting that he absolutely loves and is receiving the best care! X
