Ally's Reviews

From one Mother to another

Having my son be apart of Mini Mina’s is a privilege, Ally’s childcare is beyond exceptional. She is a version of what every mother aspires to be when they set out on their journey to parenting.
My son started with Ally when he was 16months old, I was struggling to get my head around the idea of him going anywhere but with Ally it felt like a home from home, her whole ethos and gentle approach to parenting is exactly why we chose Ally.

She never fails to update us during the day, I love seeing what he’s been up to and if there are any concerns, she is brilliant at letting us know.
One of my favourite things about Mini Minas is how each day he is learning something new, doing a different activity, learning new skills and developing his brain. It truly feels as though he is gaining an education from such a young age, each time I pick him up he has something new to say or a particular skill has developed further. It’s amazing!
Plus he comes home with a smile on his face every time and has lots to share with me about his Mini Mina friends.

Incredible home from home

We were recommended Ally by friends, it couldn't have been a better choice. From the outset she made me, and my daughter, feel comfortable and at ease. I don't think we've had one crying drop off - she's always excited to go and almost runs through the door (now she can.) My daughter feels safe and always looks happy in the photos we relieve during our childcare days. We're so sad to have to leave her due to maternity but so happy our standard of care hasn't changed since Ally got pregnant. It’s clear that Ally has so much energy, passion and commitment towards the children in her care. Ally has educated, entertained and empowered our daughter, she will be so missed!! Don’t hesitate to get in touch with her if you can bag a place on her childminding once she returns from mat leave-you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding care!

We feel so lucky that Ally looked after our son. She is a wonderful childminder and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, any child would be lucky to be looked after by her. Ally has a lovely home that she makes so welcoming for the children and our son was very happy in her care. Ally not only has fab planned activities at home for the children but she also takes them out at least once per day to various local classes, playgroups and the library. Our child was really nurtured by Ally and blossomed in her care. We are really sad to be moving on from her!
