We would highly recommend this setting to any parent. We are so grateful to everyone at 365 Childcare for the care, support, and encouragement they have given our son.
Thank you for helping our son develop his confidence with talking, becoming independent with going to the toilet, and encouraging him to enjoy healthy food. It has been wonderful to see how much he has grown during his time at the setting. We also really appreciate that he has been able to take part in the curriculum through a wide range of fun and engaging activities that have supported his learning and development.
A special thank you for always keeping us informed about our son’s progress and development. The communication has been excellent, and it has been reassuring to know how he is getting on each day. We truly appreciate the dedication and care shown by all of the staff, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our son.

My daughter started just after her 1st birthday. The settling-in period was great lots of communication, and taking it at my child’s pace so it didn’t feel rushed, like we were just a number.
My daughter also has a CMPA dairy-free allergy. This has never been an issue no reaction or cross-contamination, which was a big fear of mine.
The daily diary is always filled in with details on food, naps, and what they got up to. I love reading this every day.
The staff all understand and are willing to work around her routine for example, if she’d had a bad night or woke up early, they’ll put her down for a nap earlier.
She has become so confident and chatty, and I can truly say it’s because of their hard work. She’s formed a great
bond with the staff, and it truly feels like a home away from home.
I don’t have any negative comments. I’d recommend this to any family who is anxious and wants that home

Choosing 365 Childcare for our son, has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. Also our twins will soon start with them, we cannot wait. :)
From the very first day, the team welcomed him with kindness, patience, and genuine care.Over the past year, we have watched him grow in confidence, improve his listening skills and develop new abilities. The progress he has made has been incredible, and we truly believe it is thanks to the dedication, encouragement, and nurturing environment that 365 Childcare provides.
As parents, we have always felt reassured knowing Fabian is in such safe, loving, and capable hands. The staff are professional, caring, and always keep us informed, making us feel like true partners in our child’s development. They treat every child as an individual and genuinely care about helping them learn, grow, and thrive.
We are so grateful to have found 365 Childcare and are delighted that will continue with them until he starts school. We recommend them wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a childcare setting where their child will be loved, supported, encouraged, and given the very best start in life.
Thank you, 365 Childcare, for everything you do. You have made such a positive difference to our son and to our family, and we will always be grateful.

He feels part of them when he goes there and he’s very indulgenced with the love and care that 365 childminding provides. I would not look back having my child in safe hands.

We wished we found 365 Childminding sooner.
365 Childminding are highly competent, have supported the individual needs of our children really well. Both of our boys enjoy their time with Hetal, Hardik & Hema. It is a great peace of mind for us a parents knowing we can go to work and our children are in trusted hands. We have seen both of our boys develop in their motor skills and their cognitive development as the 365 team continuously work closely with the children completing different activities everyday including phonics, reading time, arts and crafts, writing and interactive story telling. They also learn about the world around them by partaking in different festivals and cultural events that occur on the Calendar. Meal times are exciting and nutritional with great home cooked food. They are so accommodating and always willing to help.
Thank so much for taking care of our boys.

We were recommended 365 through a friend and have not looked back. Our son loves this place. He is so well looked after, loves the various activities and obviously the home cooked food. We receive regular updates and pictures on a daily basis. The communication is fantastic and the team always take the time to ask about our child’s needs; such a personable service. It’s a lovely place to send your children. Look no further.

I am a mother for 2 children who have both attended 365 childminding. My 5 year old is now at school and still remembers her time at the childminders. So when o had my younger son, I knew exactly where I was going to go when the time came. I made sure I could get a place and had asked well in advance and although had a 4 month wait it was worth as my younger son who has now been attending for 8 months, has settled in amazingly.
All at 365 are very accommodating and have always helped my children progress. I am very happy with the services provided and the warm, care and love given. It’s like family and I have no doubts it had been the best start for them.
365 have also catered for the dietary requirements well and helped the children with all the EYFS core milestones.
Thank you 365, very grateful! Keep up the hard work 😊

Placing in our daughter with 365 childminding when she was 9 months old was a brilliant choice. Our daughter receives fantastic care, fresh food, and the opportunity to learn and play in a safe environment. 365 childminding are extremely accomodating and treat our daughter exactly as we had hoped. She does a huge variety of activities, and we get regular updates, pictures and have noted the progress in her development since starting. We feel we receive good quality communication from the team, who make us feel at ease and confident with our child's care. I would highly recommend.
