We are so lucky we have Andrea as our sons childminder for the 12 months, she is amazing always happy, friendly, supportive, flexible to help, and is great friend. Prior to finding Andrea we visited other childminders and nurserys but none of them felt right, as soon as we visited Andrea's it just felt perfect and knew this was where we wanted him to be, all the children were happy and smiley and loved the environment.Our son struggled to settle to start as it was the 1st time away from us ever. Andrea was so patient we went through a plan together and increased hours weekly until he was settled, Andrea provided us with updates / photos through the day to reassure us he was OK and having fun. Amir absolutely loves Andrea and can't wait to go each day, he loves the home to home environment, the activities arranged each day, the lovely set up reflects in all the children as they are all so happy which in turn we are happy and reassured our son is safe, happy and secure.

My daughter is under Andreas’ care since she was two years old. On her first day, she cried a lot, and I was very close to giving up. But I trusted Andreas’ calming words and experience, jackpot! Now Libby says: “Andrea is my friend, and Alfie (her cute dog) as well!” She doesn’t even wave to me goodbye anymore, just goes straight into the house. Andrea´s home is always welcoming, very clean and well-organized. Libby has a lot of fun playing with all of the toys. I like that we are informed over the phone with pictures of Libby´s activities so afterward, we can speak with Libby about her day and what she did. I am also happy that Andrea has her dogs over there because cuddling with them helps her relieve stress.
Andrea is a very, very responsible person, empathic with a lot of experience. Highly recommended!

Andrea has been looking after my daughter for the last 5 years and I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else! She has a fab, considered, natural learning approach with creative play at the heart of everything she does. The setting has a variety of resources for children of all ages and it’s so lovely seeing all of the children from ages 2-10yrs old playing together.

Andrea has been a godsend when family emergencies have occurred and she’s been flexible at the time to help look after my daughter.

I would highly recommend Andrea’s Childcare and all the children in her care have blossomed in her Reggio Emilia Approach to childcare.

I highly recommend Andrea as a childminder. She is professional, experienced, trustworthy, organised and efficient and was fantastic with our son. I really like her approach to early childhood (the thought and research she has given to what activities the children do and the play things she provides is beyond what we had ever seen or expected) and it certainly did spark curiosity and wonder in our son. He loved it.
The environment she creates is safe, clean, light/bright and child friendly. We can’t recommend her enough.

Can’t thank Andrea enough! at really short notice she fit my children in on temporary basis so I could look for more permanent and not worry about childcare so I could still work!
She is super warm and friendly and both children are excited to go to hers! Would recommend her 100%

Thank you im just sorry I've not enough space to keep them on xxx

Angela helped me at short notice on a temporary basis when I had to return to work unexpectedly.
She was flexible and helpful. My son absolutely loved going there and I was always updated with how he was in the day!
Would of loved to stay with Angela longer and only adjusted childcare because of schools. She was especially helpful in reassuring me around guidelines during the pandemic, felt so at ease leaving my son with her. Would highly recommend 😊

My children have been going to Andrea for nearly two years. One, before and after school and the other full days. I truly believe you wouldn't find a better childminder for miles. She is the first UK accredited Curiosity Approach childminder and this setting has made a huge difference to my children. No traditional toys, all about exploring and learning through every day materials. Her child minding room is like a fairy land. My children are happy and always have stories to tell. Andrea keeps me updated regularly with photos and feedback. My girls have thrived since being with her and I honestly couldn't ask for a more trustworthy and talented childminder.
