Dawn D's Reviews

amazing childminder

Dawn is absolutely fantastic, my son have been with her for a year now and she has become family not only to my boy but to us too. She has consistently gone above and beyond for our family helping out as and when she can. Dawn ensures the kids come first and always has fun activities which help develop their learning whilst with her my boy has come on so well since being with her. She will be having our youngest boy too for a couple of months until we sadly move house but I’m confident he will also receive the same treatment from Dawn. For us it was important for our kids to have 1:1 attention and have a home from home setting with someone who we trust and Dawn is exactly that. She sends videos/photos via WhatsApp which is a great communication tool to settle your mind when leaving your kids it’s great to see how much fun they get up to! We would hands down recommend dawn to anyone she is brilliant at what she does and I think we’re going to struggle to find someone who will match up to her standards! 🥰

Oh my Vicky, Thankyou very much, M is a delight to have and I’m going to miss him so much and you all too. I know you will send photos but it won’t be the same. But Thankyou 😊

Loving, Caring & Developing Environment

Dawn has been absolutely amazing for my youngest 2yr old Son! The Bond that these to have is absolutely unbreakable to the point he sometime doesn’t want to come home as he enjoys the environment, And the other children in that setting.

She has been, Super supportive in his learning and development and well adaptive to any diverse Needs we may have.

The things she has done with our son to improve his level of learning and everyday life skills has been absolutely amazing!!!

She has supported by teaching him at 2yrs old to put his shoes and socks on, getting his coat on.
Learning by counting objects to 20,
Hand and eye co-ordination moving tiny objects from one bowl too another and sorting items to their correct areas.,
learning shapes, colours, fruit and completing puzzles.
She has supported us though potty training and followed what we do at home.

She is always doing something with our son and often is on Outings at local Heritage Parks, Plays groups, Play Centres or WheelGate.

She also offers before school and after school care to our 5yr old daughter who is loving the space and enjoys playing dolls, arts crafted and Friday movie night.

We are from a No pet household but our Kids adapt to Dawn‘s dog Milo very well and enjoy their walks with Him too.

We certainly recommend Dawn and her Childminding Services and we are grateful for everything she does for us.

Thankyou Weronika, he is a pleasure to have. I can’t believe how much more confident he is now. ❤️

Excellent childminder

My two boys have now been with Dawn for a year and absolutely love it! I'm over the moon with how much my boys like going. Such a wonderful lady.
She guides, and teaches my children, and provides a stabile and fun filled environment.
Her family are amazing, and my boys love her border collie dog Milo to bits and enjoy taking him for Walks and playing with him.
Words cannot express how good Dawn is!

Review From a very happy mummy :)

Dawn has looked after my 3 year old son since September and I couldn't ask for a better childminder. Jack loves going to Dawns, and enjoys the many activities He takes part in while he's with her. Dawn is very flexible and always willing to help out wherever she can. The progress Jack has made since being with Dawn is remarkable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder .

Thank you Margaret,that's great of you to say,he's a lovely little boy and a delight to have.

Great Childminder

Dawn has cared for my two girls (Age 4 & 8) over the last year. The girls really enjoy spending time with Dawn and can't wait to go back again, again & again! They are always asking when they are going to Dawn's again. Dawn has been fantastic and really flexible, my shifts would sometimes change at short notice, but Dawn was always ready and willing to look after the girls when ever I needed her. Its the first time we have had to use a childminder, and I was nervous at first. But with Dawn I know the girls are well cared for and I can go to work with the peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands and being well cared for. I would just like to thank Dawn for all of her support and taking good care of my girls over the last year.
