My 3 year old son has been with Christine since he was 8 months old and I couldn't have chosen anyone better to care for him.
I found that Christine has become a part of our family over the years, and I can't wait for my youngest to start with her next year.
Christine has so much love for my son which I adore about her. She makes sure that he has the best quality of time with her by doing lots of activities, reading and going out for trips to the park or local beaches.
His development has exceeded our expectations and I believe that was largely down to being in a homely environment with Christine and a smaller group of children who have taught him to be the best version of himself.

I can't recommend Christine enough, when looking for a childcare setting for my little boy I wasn't sure what we wanted, we visited numerous places and nothing made me feel comfortable. The minute we worked into Christine's home we felt at ease.
My little boy thoroughly enjoyed his time at Christine's and was made to feel like part of their family. Christine, Her husband and children treated Isaac like he was one of their own.
I rave about Christine to anyone looking for a childminder, and when I speak about everything she did and does people are astonished. In my opinion she really is the best.
Isaac had so many fantastic days out, memories, milestones, and came home with the loveliest art for us regularly. Christine always toke great interest in Isaacs development and skills, making sure to tailor her activities around Isaac.
When my boy went fulltime we were all very sad to see him leave Christine's care, but she still continues to check in and I think this shows the level of care and compassion she shows all the children and without a doubt if I had another I wouldnt hesitate to call Christine again. What gives Christine that extra special touch is she isn't just a childminder but a friend too, and that's exactly what we didn't know we needed.

The best childminder.
We have taken all of our 4 children to Christine across many many years.
The trust we have for her.
More importantly it’s the children they absolutely love going to Christine.
She treats them all with so much love.
From the many outside activities they go to such as margam park, beaches and play grounds.
Or the activities they do at Christines. everything here is truly amazing !

I used Christine in 2015/2016 for my older 2 children off a recommendation.. and when I had my younger 2 I knew that I wanted them to go with her too. They’ve been there since the end of 2019 now and they absolutely love it. Christine is amazing with them, and so are her husband and daughters, and they really are treated as if their part of the family. They have a huge selection of toys to play, they do such a wide range of activities their always learning something new and trying new foods and trips to new parks.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Christine enough!

From the moment I met Christine I just knew I could trust her to look after our little girl. I had previously looked at nurseries but didn’t have a good feel about them- meeting Christine felt right! She made me feel at ease leaving Cerys when I had to return to work. She is caring and loving and treats Cerys as if she were her own daughter! Christine and her family are lovely, and their house is spotlessly clean!
I love the way Christine takes the children outdoors to different parks and beaches- from Margam to Mumbles! Cerys has made some beautiful craft and cakes to bring home.
I speak Welsh at home with Cerys and Christine always makes an effort to incorporate Welsh into activities - which is brilliant!
Christine’s communication is fantastic and we even have pictures of the fun activities they have done!
Christine is an amazing childminder and we feel very lucky to have her.

Christine has been wonderful looking after my two boys aged 2&1 for the last few years. They have so much fun, take part in loads of activities and enjoy brining their artwork home to show me.
Perfect motherly touch and extremely reliable service

Christine has looked after our daughter Ellie for 2 years now (and our eldest a few times) and has been exceptional in every way. She is absolutely wonderful with Ellie and the other children. They are always painting, making, cooking, learning, etc. Ellie loves Christine so much and has formed such a lovely bond with her. Ellie gets very excited when going to Chris and even a little upset when leaving lol. The service Christine has provided has been first class, She is a wonderful person and loves all the kids like her own and they love her too. Ellie is always coming back with things she has made and loves talking about her day, even though she absolutely shattered when we collect her lol. she genuinely loves going to Christine's. As well as all this Chris always provided us with a detailed record of what Ellie had been up to. My only regret is that we didn't send our first child to you too. Christine is very accommodating and has helped out at short notice on more than a few occasions. You have been a huge part of Ellie's life and she truly does love you. 11 out of 10 for every thing.

Christine has been looking after our son for a year now, during which time he's really bonded with her and benefitted from the experience of learning to socialise and share with the other children in her care. Christine's home is a spacious, child-safe environment with a wide range of toys, games and books, and she regularly takes the children to the park or play centre, and for pleasant local walks. We've been very appreciative of the kind, caring and professional approach that Christine brings to her job, and we wouldn't think of entrusting our son (or indeed our baby daughter, when she's a bit older) to anyone else.

My son Jacob has been with Christine for just over a year now and I am extremely happy with the level of care she provides. I had originally started Jacob in a day nursery but it was clear from early on that he wasn't thriving in the environment and needed a much more nurturing and personal type of childcare. After visiting a few childminders, and quite frankly being unhappy by what I was seeing, I found the gem that is Christine's Childminding.
You instantly get a warm welcome when you visit Christine and you know that she genuinely loves her job and cares for your child.
We have a daily diary which lets me know what Jacob has eaten and what their day together has been like but also give me the opportunity to communicate messages to her if you haven't got time to inform her at drop off time. Christine is also great at keeping in touch by text if necessary and never seemed to mind the multiple texts I sent her when Jacob was first settling in!
Jacob always have a fun filled day and the activities are always age appropriate, fun, as well as meeting the ever changing developmental needs of young children. I also love the range of home cooked meals that Christine provides which I feel has contributed to my son being happy to eat just about anything because he has has such a varied diet at Christines.
When changing from a day nursery to a childminder, I was concerned about the level of interaction Jacob would get from playing with other children, but I needn't have worried. Christine is mindful of this and has really good networks with other local childminders where they meet up to go to the park, visit indoor play places or the local playgroup.
I feel Jacob has enjoyed every minute of being at Christine's Childminding...it is just like home from home which obviously means I can go to work happily knowing he is being cared for by someone who is going to stimulate him as well as giving him a cuddle when he needs it.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.
