Linda

Home from home

My son has been going to Linda's just over a year and it has been the best decision I have made. My son always is happy to attend and often talks about his friends he has made. I trust Linda completely and she has been so supportive and welcoming. My son often comes home with things he has made, and I'm kept updated with photos of the activities he has done. Linda is always kind and thoughtful towards all the children in her care. Lindas setting does feel like home from home to my son. I cannot thank or rate Linda enough!

Thank you for your lovely review. Your son is a pleasure to have and a joy to see him come on from a baby, and a pleasure to have a good relationship with you.

Always wonderful

My daughter has been with Linda for a long time, she loves going there, she always has something to do, always brings home things she's made or drawn. Daughter will be going to Secondary school and we will both miss Linda.
As a parent Linda is always flexible, accommodating and welcoming

Thank you for your lovely review. I will miss your daughter, and wish her good luck in secondary school and for the foreseeable future. She has been a delight and pleasure to look after. I will miss you both.

Great childcare provider

My 2.5‑year‑old daughter has been with Linda for six months now, and I am very happy with the care she provides. Linda creates a warm, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe and confident. She takes the time to take the children to playgroups and library story time, which helps them develop social skills and enjoy learning with others.
She supports children’s development in numeracy and literacy and encourages physical development through active play. Linda also provides a variety of creative activities such as crafts and art, helping children develop their creativity and fine motor skills. I am very pleased with the care, attention, and learning opportunities she provides.

Thank you for a lovely review, it's a pleasure looking after your daughter and a joy to see her come on and excel, and it's also thanks to you and your partner for working with me throughout your daughter's learning.

5 Stars

Our little boy has been with Linda since Sept 2024 and we are very happy with her care. He has come on so well since being with Linda with his speech and learning. They also attend activities together like play group and trips to the library/park.
Our little boy loves going to Linda’s and we also love the fact that he is in a home environment/setting. ☺️ We have a nice bond with Linda which I feel is very important when trusting someone with the care of your child. Highly recommend 👍

Thank you for your lovely review. It's been a pleasure looking after your little girl and talking to you both.

Amazing with children!

My 6 year old has been going to Linda for around 2 years now and she absolutely loves it! She always comes home telling me about all the other children she has played with. Linda is amazing with the children she is so kind hearted and really gets to know each child individually, currently on maternity but will be back in February with another little one for her too look after. I wouldn't trust anyone else, love the homely environment she provides.
Couldn't recommend her enough!

Wonderful childminder

Linda was really wonderful with my kids. She always had a fun day planned for them. Took them out for some sun, had them do painting, clay works and lots of crafts. My kids were absolutely happy with her and so was I

Thank you Dinah for your review, your children are well behaved and very respectful. You and your Husband are very welcome.

Lovely Childminder great with children

Myself and husband have been sending our boys for the past 6 years and have had great experience throughout. It is now time for our youngest to start pre school and Linda will be hugely missed. Linda is great with the children, always taking them to parks/soft plays and different play groups. Excellent childminder. Thank you so much for your years of service.

Amazing childminder

We’ve been with Linda for a short while but already within 6 months our daughter (2.5 years old has come along in leaps and bounds, every day we get all of the crafts they’ve been up to, EF can also count to 12 and understand quantity to 5, she’s knows her colours, alphabet and sings her days and brings back her dancing and movements from playing with the other kids. Linda encourages the kids with playing together and brings them out to bigger playgroups to meet other kids. It’s so comforting to know that Linda treats every child as her own. She has been very helpful with listening to my requirements for EF, as she wasn’t finished with her naps Linda helped accommodate this and more recently helping with her potty training. She is thoughtful, kind and not ridged on drop off and pick up times (have experience stricter minders), she also helped with wonderful conversations and advice on EFs learnings at pick up and drop offs. Highly recommend sending your little ones to Linda!

Thank you for your very kind words. your daughter has been a pleasure to look after and see her excel in her learning, it's been a pleasure having parents that work alongside giving your daughter the best.

Amazing Experience with Linda

Linda’s had our little boy for nearly 3 years now, and he has had such a lovely experience! Linda really knows the children she looks after and she has supported with speech, reading, colours and so much more. Our child loves it there and is always so excited to be there since they do so many different activities in such a caring setting. She really takes the time to have conversations about progress, what is going well and the areas where more support would be helpful. We are moving away from the area but are so sad to be leaving and will definitely be staying in touch!
