Our Son has been going to Suzanne’s since last year and he loves it! Suzanne creates a very welcoming environment. The children are always so happy to see her and our son is super excited to go there in the mornings. She keeps you updated with how they have got on that day with the app. Highly recommend!

Our Son has been going to Suzanne for over a year now and we feel incredibly lucky to have found such a fantastic childminder. From the very beginning, she has created a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where he feels completely at home. It’s clear how much care and thought she puts into every part of the day and always thinks of fun activities!
Our son absolutely loves going, and we’ve seen him grow in confidence, independence, and happiness since starting. She communicates clearly and regularly, keeping us updated with photos and stories. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands.
Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for children shine through in everything she does. We couldn’t be more grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond. Thank you Suzanne - being able to drop David with you without a worry means the world to us!

Our little boy has been with Suzanne for the past year. We have felt from the minute he started that Suzanne treats him with as much care and kindness as she does her own children. He is thriving in her setting and always runs in with a huge grin on his face.
Aside from her care of our son, Suzanne has gone above and beyond to support us when our circumstances have changed, and we couldn't be more grateful.
We highly recommend Suzanne as a childminder.

My daughter has been with Suzanne since she was 8 months old, almost 2 years now. Suzanne's home is clean, warm and welcoming. My daughter loves going to Suzanne's and has a wonderful relationship with Suzanne, her family and the other children. I love the mix of ages, during the day there is a small group of under 5's and then a few primary school pupils join after school.
Suzanne organises a wide range of activities for the children, building their skills, both in the house and days out.
She creates a great routine for the children, my daughter has always napped well for Suzanne!
Communication is good, Suzanne shares photos and uses an app to share your child's day.
I would highly recommend Suzanne.

We have been sending our daughter to Suzanne for 2 days a week since she was 1.5 years old and it was the best decision we have made. Suzanne makes the kids feel so comfortable in her setting, just like a home away from home. We don't think our daughter would leave if she could have it her way, really is made to feel like part of the family.
Brianna has come on leaps and bounds with her socialising and is always so excited to go and see her friends on her Suzanne days. She is especially excited when it's the school holidays and some of the bigger kids are there to spend time with her, doing different activities.
Suzanne always keeps us updated with what's going on through messages, photos and videos. Not only does she support Brianna but we have found her so reassuring and helpful as parents while going through potty training.
We all feel very lucky to have found Suzanne.

As we don’t have any family or friends nearby that can help look after our little boy, the first day he went to Suzanne was the first time we had spent a moment apart! He was 14 months old and we were both extremely anxious, but Suzanne did everything possible to reassure us and kept us updated on how he was throughout the day. Almost one year on and not only do we hear about “Ann Ann” (Suzanne) everyday at home - we hear about the whole family!
Suzanne and her family create a loving environment for little ones to play and be themselves. They get involved in a whole range of activities and are always out and about doing different things. We are always given an update on how he has been that day, what he’s been up to and how he has eaten and slept etc. He also comes home with some lovely artwork which he’s always delighted to show us!
Looking for childcare for your little one can be a really hard task - it’s the most trust you could ever put in another person, but I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for a home away from home for their little one.
Thank you Suzanne for becoming an extension of our family and somewhere that we feel completely at ease leaving our baby!

I have my 2 children with Suzanne full time. It’s always such a difficult time having to put your trust into someone to look after your most precious possessions I cannot praise Suzanne enough for the love and kindness she gives to my girls. They both absolutely love going here.
They are warmly welcomed everyday into Suzannes home. Suzanne drops off and collects both from the local primary school. She keeps me updated daily on how their day has been, what they have been up to and what they have eaten. The girls are always busy with a huge variety of experiences and in the holidays they are out almost every day which is great for this tired mummy. I love the photos and videos Suzanne sends as I get to look at them together with the girls and hear all about the fun and adventures they have.
Suzanne has been super at supporting both the girls through life’s curveballs and challenges when I can’t be there.
I’m invoiced monthly and find it a super easy transaction to pay fees. Never had any issues but know Suzanne is just at the end of a phone if I needed any support.
I cannot thank Suzanne enough for the love and care she not only gives my girls but also me as a parent. She genuinely cares for not only the children in her care but also the parents.
I will always be eternally grateful for Suzanne and her support and wouldn’t hesitate to ever leave my girls in her care.
Thanks you for everything Suzanne.

When I started to think about putting my first daughter into childcare I knew I wanted her to go somewhere where she wouldn’t just be looked after but where she would be loved. From our first settling in day with Suzanne I knew that’s how Brea would be treated, it’s as though she’s a part of the family. We drop her off and she barely notices us at the door, running straight in to join the fun and when we pick her up it’s clear she’s left no stone unturned. When we get in the car to go anywhere she asks if she’s going to Suzanne’s! I love that Suzanne keeps us updated with the private Facebook group too with plenty of pictures and tells us exactly what they’ve been up to! Plus for every occasion Brea comes home with something she’s made that day - our fridge is covered! I can’t thank Suzanne enough for loving our little girl as much as she does!

We cannot recommend Suzanne highly enough. My eldest started with Suzanne in primary 1 for before and after school care and quickly settled in, she loves Suzanne and her family. The older children were great at keeping an eye out for her and saying hello in the dinner hall. It's like a wee extended family. When no.2 came along we opted for Suzanne as a childminder instead of nursery and he joined at 10 months old. He loves going to Suzanne's and has a great bond with her and the other children. Suzanne does such a wide variety of activities with the kids, I've no idea where she gets the energy. Her house is spotlessly clean and she has robust process in place which has been reassuring during covid.

My son has been with Suzanne since he was a year old he's now three. He immediately settled in well with Suzanne and her family and has loved every day spent with her.
Suzanne provides a safe, nurturing home environment and plenty of opportunities to play and learn. She regularly takes the children out for walks, trips to the parks and other activities including fun day trips during holidays.
Suzanne and her family have always been so welcoming and accommodating to our son, we couldn't be more thankful of the support we have recieved.
During COVID Suzanne did what she needed to to continue providing a safe environment and maintained a high standard of childcare through a difficult time.
