Absolutely Second to None

We cannot easily express how grateful we are to Wendy for the care she has provided for our two children across the last six years. We simply would not trust anyone else. From day one, when we dropped our first child at 5 months old, she has been an extended part of our family.
As well as feeling very happy with the level of care provided, we have always appreciated that our values are aligned. We can trust Wendy to make decisions and keep us informed. While this sounds like a small detail, this has meant the world to us. We know our children are in her safe and very capable hands.
We also cannot thank Wendy enough for the way she has significantly contributed to our children’s development. Both our son and daughter have made rapid progress in reaching milestones, which we attribute to the educational input Wendy provides. Her planning and organisation are impeccable; we love it that she tracks progress against the EYFS framework through detailed journaling and recordkeeping.
We feel so lucky that we have known Wendy and have been able to use her to childmind both our children. It would have been very distressing if she had not had the capacity to support us because other childminders simply do not compare. There is nothing more precious than your own children and I simply wouldn’t have anyone else looking after them.

Highly recommend

We would highly recommend Wendy. She has been looking after our children for the past four years and we can honestly say, we couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Wendy is kind, caring, extremely professional, reliable, trustworthy and considerate. Both our daughters love going to Wendy’s and are extremely happy and settled in her setting. Knowing our children are so content and well looked after in a safe environment takes pressure off us, allowing us to go to work at ease, knowing our children couldn’t be in better hands.
We look forward to the daily update from Wendy detailing what they have been up to. It’s so lovely to read.
We can’t thank Wendy enough and are so grateful for all she has and continues to do for our children. Without doubt Wendy has significantly contributed to their development. We are so glad we found Wendy and would highly recommend her to others.

Brilliant service

We were really lucky to have Wendy as our childminder. Not only due to her location from us but due to her professional yet warm approach to childcare. It is rare that Wendy has vacancies and using her services it is not difficult to see why! Not only is it obvious that she enjoys her job, she has the children's health and wellbeing at the forefront of her daily activities.

We have been fortunate that Wendy has looked after three of our children now and still cares for the school aged ones during school holidays. This is a weight off of my mind, knowing that all three are so happy in the setting and cared for as though they were Wendy's own. They see going to Wendy's as going from their home to their 'other home' and that is exactly what we wanted.

Thank you Wendy and we look forward to many more years together!

Superb service

Wendy has cared for my son for 7 years, throughout primary school and we could not be happier with the level of service that she has provided.

My son is always made welcome and feels like he is 'part of the family' with Wendy's own children making him welcome at all times. He often does not want to come home at the end of the day and this tells you all you want to know!

Wendy is extremely professional and maintains the highest of standards at all times. She attends many courses to increase her knowledge and understanding, all in her own time and is willing to seek additional knowledge in her own time and expense if it is beneficial to the children in her care.

We are leaving Wendy's care due to our son starting secondary school but would not hesitate to recommend Wendy to you all.

Fantastic Childminder!!

My children are always excited to arrive at Wendy's house. They have a very good bond with her and they have asked many times if Wendy can come around to our house to play!

Wendy always greets us all with a smile, asks how the girls are and is interested in hearing about them.

The daily diaries which Wendy writes in for the girls, are very informative, such as nappy changes, sleeps and activities they have done that day.

My eldest daughter is able to tell me all the things she has done, such as crafts, outside play and other activities. She talks fondly of them and I can see that her interests have been recognised. There is always a calm and happy feeling within the setting, which is to Wendy's credit.

The girls attending Wendy's setting, has made such a difference to my working day, knowing that they are somewhere they love going to, enjoying play and activities, as well as being with a person who genuinely cares about them.
