Linda's Reviews

A Safe, Enriching Environment Every Parent Hopes F

Our daughter began her journey with Wise Children in September 2024 and completed her time there in July 2025. Looking back, we could not have asked for a better start to her early years. From day one, Linda created a warm, safe, and inspiring environment where our daughter felt truly valued and supported.

As parents, placing your child in someone else's care is a big decision, but with Linda, we always felt at ease. Her genuine passion for children’s development and her nurturing approach made all the difference.

Over the past year, we have seen our daughter grow in so many beautiful ways. Her language skills have blossomed. She’s ’s now confidently expressing herself, using rich vocabulary, and telling us all about her day with such joy and detail. Her social interactions have matured as well; she has learned to play, share, and communicate with others in a thoughtful and respectful way.

One of the highlights of her experience was the regular visits to the library. These outings sparked a genuine love of reading in her. Every week, she would come home proudly carrying a new book, eager to read it with us and talk about the stories. It became a lovely tradition we all looked forward to. These kinds of thoughtful, enriching experiences are what set Wise Children apart.

Linda’s approach to childminding is so much more than care, it’s a true investment in each child’s personal growth. Her activities are engaging, creative, and tailored to encourage learning through play. Whether it was painting, outdoor exploration, imaginative games, or storytelling, our daughter always had something new and exciting to share. It was clear she felt stimulated, safe, and most importantly, happy.

Communication with Linda was always open and genuine. We felt like partners in our child’s development, regularly updated and reassured. It meant the world to us to know our daughter was being cared for by someone who truly understood and celebrated her uniqueness.

As our daughter moves on to her next chapter, we leave with full hearts and immense gratitude. Linda, you’ve helped shape her into a confident, curious, and compassionate little person, and your impact will stay with her for years to come.

To any parent looking for a truly exceptional childminding experience, I cannot recommend Wise Children and Linda enough. It is a place where your child will not only be safe and well cared for, but truly seen, heard, and inspired.

With heartfelt thanks,
Steph

Most reliable, knowledgeable Auntie we know

We've been with Linda since 2020 and she’s cared for my two sons until now. Like every parent, I had the usual worries about sending them off to school, but Linda helped them build confidence and made the transition smooth and stress-free.

I’ve sent my kids off around 6months- 9months all the way to 3 years. We have no complaints at all. She is very professional and knows what she’s doing.

Now with my 3rd baby, he will be back to Auntie Linda- she practically family.
I love the schedule she sticks to, takes them to the library, play groups, meeting other kids outside of the childminder…etc

My kids happily skips through the door now, forgets to say goodbye to me sometimes, they are too excited and happy to be at Auntie w! We love you!

Excellent Childminder. I highly recommend

As a first time mum I couldn’t be more proud of Linda and my LO. Linda started to mind my child when he was 15months old. Linda has helped us in raising a future leader. She offers different daily knowledgeable activities which help with cognitive and motor skills.

Linda is very patient, kind, loving, passionate and a dedicated childminder. My husband and I are so grateful that we got to choose her. Choose Wise Children Childminding, you will never be disappointed. God bless you Linda.

Wish I took my son earlier

I did our experience with linda very educational and worthwhile. My only regret is not spending my son to hers earlier. Rest assured your child is in good hands. The understanding and care she gives the children individual coupled with activities they do together was very helpful.

Excellent childminder highly recommend

Linda was recommended to me by a friend, and I was not disappointed. She is a very nice, calm, and positive childminder who genuinely cares for and looks after children exceptionally well. She engages them in daily activities, keeping them busy and entertained. My daughter was always happy to go there, and I had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Linda is a professional and flexible childminder whom I would definitely recommend.

Excellent

Linda is very passionate and dedicated to her job as a childminder. She is excellent, caring, and has a good attitude toward the kids and parents. She cares for my daughter like her biological one, to the fact that my daughter always cries whenever she is at home and not going to see her . She works closely with me to discuss my daughter's improvement and recommendations that could help in her development.

My daughter gets access to a wide range of activities, such as field trips and library visits . I am extremely impressed with the exciting learning environment, flexible teaching style, values, and discipline that she instils in my daughter.
My daughter has made good and rapid improvement in her care, which has really helped as she progressed to nursery class . She is lovely and kind .

I would highly recommend her as an excellent child minder .

Even I call her Auntie Linda 💖

My son absolutely loved going to Auntie Linda's. It was more like visiting family, than attending the childminders. He always felt right at home. Unfortunately, I don't currently require a childminder, so he hasn't been for a while and he always tells me how much he misses Auntie Linda, Auntie Rose and the children.

He was one of the older children and he loved to help out with the younger ones.

He says what he misses about Auntie Linda is that she was kind, funny, caring and always happy.

We wish her all the best in the future and if I'm ever in a predicament where I need a childminder again, there's no where else I'll take my son without a doubt. We absolutely love her and her team 💖💖💖

Childminder

Linda is a friendly, caring and reliable person. Not only is she flexible but her rates are affordable too. Her house is clean and is a great learning environment for all the children, who seem happy and well behave whenever l drop and pick up my daughter. She is excellent at what she does and always seems kind, calm and patient. I have always felt at ease with asking her questions about my daughter and her day. And since my daughter has been going to Linda’s l have been reassured that l made the right choice. She is always happy to go there and really loves it. I definitely recommend Linda.

Kind professional and reliable

I have been using Linda for nearly 2 years after my last child minder left the profession. My little girl loves going to Auntie Linda's. She always has structured activities going on for the kids rain or shine. She is flexible and her rates are very reasonable. She has lots of trained helpers to ensure her business is run safely and efficiently. All the children who attend seem happy and occupied. She has worked with very young ones and also up to age 11. I would recommend Linda's company to all.

Happy Mum, Happy Child

Linda is very passionate about her role and has an excellent manner with the kids. She cares for my child like one of her own. It is evident that she has an excellent relationship with my daughter, who often tells me that “she is not ready to leave”.

She regularly tracks my child’s development and provides me with pictures and detailed reports on her progress. She works closely with me to discuss her next steps and recommends activities that she could do at home to further enhance her development.

I am very impressed with the stimulating learning environment (looks like a mini-nursery), the range of activities including trips that my daughter has access to, her flexible approach and the values/discipline that she instills in my daughter. I could go on......

My daughter has made excellent and rapid progress in her care and is able to access materials above her age group.

I would highly recommend her, as I have to alot of my friends seeking childcare.

Excellent

My daughter started at Wise Children childminding run by Linda when she was 10 months old. She will be going to nursery in September 2018. It has been a wonderful time both for my daughter and myself. The service provider is exceptional in her mannerism and the care she provides. Worth trying out the place. You would not regret the choice. I will really miss her when the term finishes in July.
