Elaine has cared for our daughter since she was 12 months old and very quickly we realised she's an incredible childminder - our little girl adores her. We were so nervous to leave our daughter with anybody else in those early days but Elaine put our minds at ease with lovely updates and eased any worries we had.
Elaine has been great managing her routine, flexible when her needs changed and has offered us some great advice along the way. Elaine brings so much happiness every day and our daughter always comes home really happy, telling us all about what she did that day, the songs she sang, the people she played with, what food they ate. Elaine always comes up with brilliant crafts and activities for the children to do, gets them involved in food preparation and baking and regularly takes them to the park and the farm, as well as encouraging outdoor play in the garden and with water and sand. Our daughter has come along so much in the time Elaine has cared for her and has made some lovely little friends. Elaine now feels like an extension of the family and is so passionate about the care she provides in her lovely, homely setting. She even came along to our little one’s 2nd birthday. I can’t imagine our life without Elaine now and would recommend her to anybody in the area looking for warm, caring and highly organised childcare.

Elaine is an absolute dream. Our little girl has been going to Elaine since she was one year old. As we had no previous experience of childcare, we didn't know what to expect or that our daughter would have such a fantastic experience.
Elaine sends us updates, great photos and messages every day. She provides a wide variety of activities for the kids including arts and crafts, trips to the farm and park, games and songs, which our little girl loves.
She loves going to Elain's and it is wonderful to see how much she learns every day and most of all how much fun she has. It is extremely difficult to entrust our child to anyone else, but we quickly realized that Elain is what every parent dreams of. Elaine is very passionate about her work and cares deeply about the children she looks after. She is very easy to talk to, and was incredibly flexible when we needed her.
We would highly recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a caring, flexible, generous and kind childminder.
Thank you Elaine

It was my first time using a childminder and Elaine was/is so understanding of those nerves & fears.
Elaine put my mind at ease and gave me daily picture updates on their varied days.
They regularly baked, made jellies and enjoyed wet play over the summer.
They also went to playgroups, the park and out to other childminders too.
My little one was nervous at first but soon grew to love going to Elaine’s home from home & spending time with her new friends.
Elaine is a warm, welcoming person who is happy to help wherever she can. She understands the working day often changes, last minute and if she can accommodate she will.
We will definitely be tied to Elaine long term as I can't imagine my little one going to any other Childminding setting and being so happy.

Elaine is just amazing! I was lucky to have found her when I did. She’s so incredibly accommodating and tries her best to follow routines we already had (or half had) and helped stabilise them. Being a first time mum has been made that bit easier by having Elaine around to share her wisdom. Our son was once a picky eater with barely any vocabulary and in just under a year, he’s now willing to try almost anything and constantly asks if “we going Elaines today?” He’s come along leaps and bounds and I have Elaine to thank for contributing to that.

Elaine has looked after both my children since they were babies and I couldn’t be happier or ask for more. Elaine is incredibly warm and caring and so willing to work with you as a parent. Both my children (now 4 & nearly 2) cheer every morning when we arrive! Elaine fosters a warm and caring home like environment, where the children have lots of different experiences, including outdoor play, crafts, library visits and playgroups to name a few. After so many years with Elaine she really is an extended member of our family and we all adore her! My children are prospering under her care and she is great at fostering their own independence too. I could not recommend her highly enough.

Elaine has a wonderful, relaxed setup. She is just so kind and sweet and always willing to help out where she is able. Elaine follows your little ones routine as best she can and tries to create an at home environment. Treating my little boy like he was her own grandson. ❤

Elaine is friendly, excellent at communication and her set up is perfect for young children.
Our son has allergies and is only 5 months old and Elaine was so accommodating and helpful.
We are sad to not have been able to continue our relationship but due to a move we will be too far away!
