My two year old son has been going to Minibugz since November 2012. When I first met Jo and Faye I was really taken aback and impressed with how much passion they had for providing good childcare and my first impressions were proven right!
The first day I left my son to go to work was really hard as I had never been away from him but leaving him at Minibugz meant I was safe in the knowledge that he was going to be well looked after and was getting to play with children his own age! I even got an update during the day to tell me he had forgotten me 5 minutes after I left and had settled in fine which was a huge weight off my shoulders on my first day at work!
My son had a slow start with his speech and when he began at Minibugz within a few short months there was a huge development in both his speech and his confidence in trying to communicate! Minibugz really pays attention to each child's needs and is always striving to improve with facilities and activities for stimulating the children's imaginations. My son loves song time and has even taught me a few new ones! There have been outings and trips to give them different surroundings. Faye, Jo and Laura really care about what they do and want to create a positive environment for the children.
This isn't just childcare it is a second family and having them has meant I am safe in the knowledge my son is being well looked after and that means I can
go to work and have peace of mind.

My daughter is 7months old and has being attending mini bugz childminders from 5months old. I was so nervous about leaving my new baby and going to back to work so soon. On the first day I dropped my daughter off and went to visit on my lunch and there she was being fussed and played with, after that I felt so much better. Faye & Jo are lovely people very down to earth and seem to be fantastic with the kids. From day 1 I've noticed such a change in my little girl she is much less clingy has a better routine and just generally coming on really quickly and well. Absolutely lovely people easy to get along with and would highly recommend to any parent.

My daughter is 18 months old and has been attending Mini Bugs since September 2012. I was very aprehensive as a new parent to leave my daughter in an environment and with people she did not know, However I knew it was important to get her interacting with other children at a young age. After researching other childcare facilities in my area I felt Mini Bugs would be the best choice for my daughter and also myself as a nervouse parent. After our first meeting with Faye my worries and fears diminished, she assured me I could have as many settling in sessions both I and my daughter needed which was great as after the first two sessions my daughter forgot I was there and quickly joined in the activities with the other children and I realised she did not need me there anymore she was going to be fine!
Over the short period my daughter has been attending Mini Bugz I have seen a masive improvement in her social skils with other children, her speech has come on leaps and bounds I can no longer count how many words she knows. Everytime I go to collect her Faye or Jo are always ready to fill me in on the days activites and the the new things my daughter has learned.
I cannot reccomend Mini Bugs highly enough my daughter has developed massivly since attending and I know she is in a safe and enjoyable enviroment, both the staff and other children there are great and my daughter loves it!

My little boys has been attending mini bugs since September, He was 16 months old when he started. I never thought in a million years that I would be able to put my little baby into someone else's care but then I found out about mini bugs and that feeling change. When I walk out that door after dropping him of I feel settled as I know they love and care for him as if he was one of their own. The whole team is truly amazing and really work around us to suit our needs. My sons face lights up even when their names are mentioned at home. Archie's speech is really developing. It has come on heaps since starting, their always teaching him new words and I'm amazed at how clearly he repeats them. I always go to find out he's been busy with creation all activities. Their always doing something new and different to keep the children learning. I feel happy and settled putting my baby boy in their care, his older sister really wants to go as when she picks Archie up she wants to do all the things he has so I'm now starting to put my oldest in twice a week. Mini bugs is truly a wonderful place and really makes me and my children feel like apart of their ever growing family. I wouldn't be able to follow my dream without mini bugs as it's the most hardest decision a mother has to make is putting their child into a childminders but all the team bring home from and only do things for Archie which are best suited for him. I am so great full and thank them for everything. I would give them a million stars if I could. Xxxx

Our son has just turned 2 and has been attending Minibugz since September 2013.
We were naturally nervous about leaving him with people he was unfamiliar with, however, this quickly subsided after both Faye and Jo took the time to meet with us and explain how everything worked in detail.
Our son settled in amazingly quickly and really enjoys his time at Minibugz. He particularly enjoys song time and now likes to sing at home and show us the actions that go with each song. In the time he has been at Minibugz, we have also noted a marked improvement in his development. His ability to talk and socialise with other children has significantly improved, and he has taken more of an interest in his books at home.
We have found both Faye and Jo to be very supportive of both our son’s needs, and ours as parents. We both find it difficult working full time, but Minibugz makes the effort to keep us informed about what our son has been doing each day, which helps us feel more involved.
As parents, we have peace of mind in knowing that while we are at work, our son is not only having fun and making friends, but he is well looked after in a safe environment. If he has an upset morning, for whatever reason, Minibugz will send us a reassuring message to let us know he has settled. On the one occasion he has been unwell, we were immediately informed and he received the one-on-one attention he needed until we were able to collect him.
I cannot recommend Minibugz highly enough. They provide an excellent service and we know our son is in safe hands.

Both our children settled very quickly and enjoy their time with Faye, Jo and Laura. They regularly do a variety of activities with the children. It is so good our youngest doesn't want to leave anymore!

My daughter has attended Minibugz for nearly 8 months now. My daughter settled from the word go which was largely down to Faye enabling her to feel so comfortable. Faye provides an excellent environment that encourages children to thrive, I often see new toys, books, dressing up and activities for the children. Minibugz always act professionally and accountably. Faye provides me with a link to the school as she drops my daughter off there nearly every day. Faye always reports to me if my daughter is needing anything for school and often passes messages on for me. Luckily Faye also reminds me of school activities too! As Faye has close links with the school this enables her to continue with any particular themes that the children are doing to promote their education further. My daughters development has increased significantly since starting Minibugz which I am sure is down to Faye's gentle encouragement and praise. Faye and her colleagues are all approachable, friendly and helpful. I could not have got through the end of my degree course without them. They are supportive of me and I feel comfortable in the knowledge that my daughter is being looked after by the best in the area. When it is time for my daughter to leave she always wants to stay longer as she loves it at Minibugz so much! My daughter enjoys the days out and trips that Minibugz provide and there is always something exciting going on for the children. I cannot recommend this service highly enough. If you are looking for a child care provider that really cares about you and your children look no further, there really is no need. Minibugz are the best in the area by far.

I would highly recommend Faye at Mini Bugz, My little boy as been going for 3 months now and I'm very impressed at how well he has progressed :) he settled in really quickly and learns something new Every week!!
I was a mum who was nervous about putting him in childcare but after speaking to Faye felt very at ease and confident about leaving him. Now he loves going and playing and learning new things, and I love going to work knowing My little fella is the BEST hands in my opinion :)

My daughter who is 10 months goes to mini bugz and she loves it! I was very nervous at first as I didn't get much time to make sure she settled in properly but my daughter has settled in very well and has even made a good friend out of daisy :)
My daughters development skills have improved since going to mini bugz and its great to read her book everyday to see she's had such fun and has been happy with no problems.
Faye keeps in touch with me all day if I think my daughter has been teething or had a bad night which (even more!) reassures me she's is in great hands and don't have to be worried as with her been at a childminders and not a nursery I know she gets that one on one time she needs. I would reccomend mini bugz to anyone :)
