We are so lucky to have found Dessy. Both our children are with her for two days a week and she never fails to surprise us on all the things they get up to. She is so creative with their activities, changing her setting to suit each week’s educational theme. They do messy play, baking, arts and crafts, spelling and reading, dance parties, and general physical play in her lovely, huge garden. She even takes them to the zoo! We love that she offers a good mix of educational activities and free play while in a nurturing home setting.
Dessy is creative, hard working, warm and welcoming, and really tries to go the extra mile to make sure our children are thriving and happy. She’s reached out to their other childcare setting to align with them on our little ones’ needs and to just establish that open line of communication to ensure continuity of care. That feels pretty special.
Wish our kids could stay with her for longer!

Dessy was childminder to our eldest son Roman for a year and he had a very enjoyable experience under her. He was constantly going to parks and playing outside and visited the zoo a couple times. He also began to walk more confidently and began saying words and learning various life skills such as taking off trainers and putting them away. Excellent service and a lovely person.

My son who is nearly 2 years old has been with Dessy since Jan 2022. He attends 3 days a week and absolutely loves Dessy and her family. He always goes in, and comes out with a big smile. I feel totally relaxed dropping him off and I know he's always safe, loved and well looked after.
Since being with Dessy my son has developed amazingly in so many areas.
I love that the children spend lots of time outside with themed weeks or days. They are always learning new and exciting things.
We are so happy we found Dessy! xx

Dessy has been an absolute blessing for our little family. Our son has been with her minimum 2 days a week since Sept 2020. Her setting is nurturing and homely with lots of outside space. She plans wonderful varied daily activities for the children and regularly updates us on his developmental achievements. She was very understanding of how nervous I was at first to leave my son in someone else’s care.
I feel my son is truly cared for by Dessy, in a high quality environment with an exception level of care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and feel very lucky we found her!

My daughter has been going to Dessy’s setting since August 2020.
Setting: excellent environment with a range of activities, toys, outdoor space for kids. It’s like a nursery. I was very impressed and got a good feel about the place on my first visit.
Dessy: is an excellent childminder I feel like she takes care of my daughter likes she is her own. She is warm, caring, really takes times to get to know the kids and tailors her approach to the different personalities. I fully trust her and know that she is doing the very best every day.
Education and activities: Dessy plans a range of activities for the kids during the week. Most weeks there is a theme for example if there is a big public holiday or event coming up, or she focuses activities on particular topics eg week 1 would be world day, or learn about birds week etc. There is also a focus on pre-school eduction. Weather permitting there is always outdoor activities either at the setting, forest, park etc.
Meals: a god variety throughout the week all freshly cooked. Healthy snacks too.
My child: absolutely loves going to Dessy’s, she has really flourished there. Dessy even helped me to get her out of nappies which I really appreciate :)!
Overall I would highly recommend Dessy. An excellent childminder.

As soon as I met Dessy I felt relaxed and confident that she would be the right person to look after my son. Her personality is energetic, fun and loving. The setting is really bright and homely with a great outside space and plenty of toys.
My son has been with Dessy 2 days a week for the past 5 months. He settled in very quickly and really enjoys his days with Dessy and the other children. He has also developed a lot of new skills.
The communication has also been great with the occasional photo and video throughout the day to show how much fun my son is having. As first time mum this gives me real peace of mind.
I would recommend Dessy, she is a fantastic childminder.

We were looking for some childcare for our daughter when we came across Dessy on this website. We got in contact to see if she had some availability, which she did so we arranged a visit at her home to meet and discuss childcare. When we arrived at Dessy’s home she was very warm and welcoming. At the time was minding some children and her kind nature with them made us feel at ease and very comfortable as all the children seemed very happy and our daughter even got involved in the play activity they were doing. Our daughter is now looked after by Dessy three days a week and when we go to pick her up she hardily ever wants to leave as she really enjoys her time with Dessy and the other children that attend. Dessy organises daily educational activities for all the children to do and gives them healthy meals and snacks whilst in her care. In my opinion Dessy is a very good childminder, who is professional and most importantly our daughter loves going there.
