Louise is a real treasure for the children she cares for, treating them like her own. A kind and loving childminder, she’s great at handling a variety of different personalities and bringing out the best in the kids she spends time with. She is very organised and operates with an easy-going but professional manner – she knows the area well and has a good network of other childminders, which means her kids get to experience a wide range of activities available in the local area.

Our daughter spent over 3 years with Louise and has honestly loved every minute of it – she’s grown into a confident and outgoing young girl, with a good balance of discipline and curiosity. Louise has got bags of energy and as a group, they are always out and about having fun and learning, seeing the world (parks, farms, softplay, playgroups, local events etc.), and enjoying experiences that frankly, you don’t get at a nursery.

Communication is good and she regularly shares pictures and videos of their adventures, which as a parent is important in understanding how your little one is developing and living their life. She has a wide range of toys that cater for different ages and keep them engaged, and our daughter regularly comes home singing a new song that she’s learned! Location is also good, with a large park within walking distance.

I thoroughly recommend Louise - we’ve felt comfortable with her since the start and talking with other parents of children she looks after, there’s a unanimous opinion that she is simply the best!
