We first used Dawn before I went back to work after having our first son. She took care of him while I went to job interviews. Right from the start I had complete confidence and peace of mind with Dawn. My boy had a milk allergy at the time which she managed with no problem and he always seemed happy in Dawn's home.

When our nursery closed at the start of started and I needed childcare as a key worker. I contacted Dawn to see if she could help us with my two boys! They are now 2.5 years and nearly 5.

Dawn was able to take the boys so that I could get to work. They both settled in really quickly. It's a home from home in many respects. Dawn has kept them entertained, well fed and in line! She has been preparing wonderful lunches for them including a roast! They love the different toys and the garden.

I think Dawn's experience really shows in the way she's managed their squabbles and misbehaving. She's firm but fair (even my 4 year old says so) and is not phased by any challenging behaviour.

Dawn lives in a quiet cul de sac which is ideal for drop-offs.

I'd highly recommend Dawn. She's been an absolute life-saver during lockdown!
