Dawn has looked after my daughter for nearly 4 years and continues to do so. She is an excellent childminder. I feel confident knowing she is safe and very happy when she is with Dawn more often than not not wanting to come home when it’s pick up time. Dawn does so many activities both in the house and outside with the children. She has taken them to lots of different places which my daughter thoroughly enjoys. She loves the food that Dawn makes her and has so much fun when she is there. Can’t recommend highly enough

We took our son to Dawns childminding when he was 18 months old until he was ready to start school. Dawn provides an absolute outstanding service and our son was always so happy to go there. We feel that she helped with the development of our son with all the fantastic skills she has to offer, he loved to learn and he loved all the trips out she does etc. Our son is now in school and doing great and still always asking about Dawn. Thanks for a great service and we wish you well for the future.

Dawn has looked after our daughter for almost two years, at first we put our daughter into the local nursery, but after several weeks she did not settle well. Deciding to use a child minder was the perfect solution for us. From the very beginning she settled really well, we are more than happy with Dawn. Meals are always home made and good healthy variety. Now lilly asks about all the friends she made and seems to be developing very fast. We have and going to recommend Dawns child minding to friends and family.

I used Dawn as my childminder was having some time off. I was worried that my daughter wouldnt settle in as she is always a little unsure with new people, however Dawn made her feel at home straight away and had a busy day planned full of activities! My daughter, from the pictures, looked like she was having an amazing time!! Dawn documented the day in my daughter's daily diary and i was jealous from what they'd all been up to! I would definitely recommend Dawn.
