My son has been with Richmal for 2 years and has now left for his days in preschool.
Richmal has been amazing from the start, not only for Tommy but for me as a Mum.
As shift workers we were finding it very difficult to find childcare that suited us, but thank god we found Richmal as she went out of her way to have our son on a flexible set rota making it affordable as we didn’t have to pay for days we weren’t at work.
She had our son from him being 6 months old and she has been more than a childminder but part of our family. My son always looked forward to days spent with her and the other little ones. He saw Richmal as an extra Grandma.
Richmal is a kind and wonderful woman who is so caring towards each child that she cares for and works to support parents.
She provides a beautiful home, garden, homemade healthy food, all the toys kids can dream of, love and support for each child.
I’m so sad that my boy has had to leave her but whatever child takes his place with Richmal and her lovely family is a lucky one.

Hi Laura
Awww this is so lovely of you to write such a lovely review. How much do l owe you 😉🤣.
It was my absolute pleasure childminding for T and working together with you and the family,there is a lot to be said about having a good working relationship with a family .We have all shared some lovely times together. I can hardly believe it’s time for T to move on , everyone is going to love him .T definitely feels like one of the family, especially how he calls me nanny & Tony Daddy !!One little girl really missed him this week she was asking for him.T is going to be missed by all of us. I know it’s not goodbye as hopefully we will be seeing you at toddler group on Fridays .
Big hugs Richmal xxxx

Richmal is the most wonderful, kind and caring childminder. I sent both my boys to Richmal from 9months to going to school and it was a home from home. Not only does she make the children she cares for feel part of a big family but also the parents/carers! Her house is always so warm, homely and spotlessly clean with a wide variety of toys all in fantastic condition. She has a lovely garden to play in as well as living across the road from the local playground. All her children are so well cared for and treated like her own. Couldn’t recommend enough x

Richmal is an amazing childminder and person! She is extremely experienced with children of all ages and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting childcare. Richmal has become more than just a childminder over the course of the year she has been looking after my daughter - she has become a friend to me and a member of the family! Richmal started looking after Stella when she was only 6 weeks old and did so with absolute confidence. Her care and love for the children she looks after goes above and beyond what can be expected from a childminder and we will really miss her. If only she wanted to move to the Netherlands with us!
Her house is spotless, her activities are varied and most importantly, the children are happy!

Richmal is an amazing childminder my daughter has been with Richmal from the age of 2 and has loved every minute we were sad to leave. Richmal is so kind and caring and always helpful and does everything she can to help you. Her setting is great she has lovely toys and had our little one ready for school we couldn’t ask for better. She’s just like Mary Poppins and we love her.

Thank you Cat it was my pleasure.She is welcome to come and visit anytime ,she is missed. xxxx

You will not find another childminder like Richmal, she is amazing!
After taking my son out of a private day nursery (due to him becoming increasingly unsettled & constanly poorly) he attended Richmal's setting & was immediately happy & content. He no longer cried & clung onto me when I dropped him off- he was eager to go & he happily walked in! (Which made me feel as ease too!)
The activities & resources Richmal provides are outstanding as well as her knowledge & experience.
My son has loved going for the past 2 years, he has a strong bond with Richmal & all the friends he's made.
Highly recommend!!

Richmal has minded two of my children (the youngest for 3 and a half years) and I wouldn’t have picked anyone else, knowing Richmal and her family prior to this. She is the kindest, most genuine person I know and a truly outstanding childminder. Leaving my little girl with Richmal is just like leaving her with family and in such a warm and welcoming environment I couldn’t feel more at ease. Richmal has a beautiful variety of toys to suit all ages/interests and encourages activities and learning through play. She is honest and will always accommodate you the best she possibly can. Very professional and always follows guidelines/procedures very carefully. I cannot sing her praises highly enough. 110% recommend!!!

Richmal has provided child care for both my children for the past 13 years from under 1 to school age. I wouldn't have left them with anybody else . Richmal is kind caring and loving and privides the children with a warm and homely environment . Her setting is safe and secure with excellent outdoor facilities and has wonderful resources for the children. Richmal plans great activities throughout the week from arts and crafts to baking and also takes the children to local playgroups and parks .
Not only is Richmal a wonderful childminder she is also a great support for working parents as she is flexible and understanding .
If you are looking for a loving home from home environment for your child to settle, laugh , learn and grow then I cannot recommend Richy enough.

I have known Richmal for 12 years now, both my children came to her from under the age of 1 to school age. They now both attend in the school holidays.
Richmal is a very kind, caring and thoughtful. She clearly loves children and they love her too. She has a fantastic outdoor space and a wide variety of toys which can cater for a varied age range. She takes the children to playgroups and parks as well as doing lots of arts and crafts at her home. She offers a calming and safe environment with a homely atmosphere.
