Fab child minder

I was ab,e to meet danielle via this site. We had worries about out youngest daughter settling but having the chance to meet with danielle and her own children prior really made my 2 girls feel settled. When she has had them during school holidays the kids had so much fun making foodie treats, going out on day trips, lots of toys to play with. Danielle herself is soft and very caring would highly recommend

Thank you so much Louise!

Kind, caring and a great role model.

After moving house/area I was having difficulty getting my 3 year old, Evie into nursery so I had to look else where. I was lucky to find such a brilliant child minder, who has a wonderful way with children. She knows how to get the best from them, whilst maintaining good standards of safety, behaviour and discipline, but in a fun, relaxed and creative environment.

The children she looks after get the opportunity to experience a wide range of everyday environments, such as going to the park or a trip out somewhere.

Her home is welcoming and open and a perfect setting for looking after children, in doors and outdoors. Evie is always pleased to see Danielle and the other children, and I am 100% happy knowing all of her individual needs are being taken care of.

Danielle is reliable, professional and approachable in every way. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone :)

Friendly, supportive and educational childminder

Danielle has been my son's childminder for nearly 5 months now, 3 days a week and he has developed massively in her care. Every day is full of activities in and out of the house and he is always full of smiles when I drop him off on a morning he loves going there so much - he's not sorry to see me go at all haha.
There is a nursery-like feel to the house with lots to do in the garden as well. Danielle does a lot of educational play such as sensory, singing, messy play, cooking, gardening, to name a few! They visit local play groups and soft play and on summer days go for outings such as the beach, Beamish or local play parks.
I am updated on his whereabouts throughout the day with texts and pictures, which is of course nice to look at on your break at work. I also get a diary describing his activities, things he has enjoyed or new things he has learned every day on collection. Danielle is working on a month by month journal which shows his key development stages in line with early years curriculum (EYFS). She is very professional when it comes to planning and evaluation of my little ones development. Also, the food she prepares is always healthy and looks so yummy!
I think leaving your little one in the care of another person in another home while you're at work is a massive decision for any mother, but I know I made a great choice with Danielle. She is calm, patient and professional, creating a fantastic environment for my son to develop and grow. I would highly recommend!
