Below are the latest reviews for Hayley. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Hayley and her mum, Jan, were absolutely brilliant with our daughter during the 10 months she attended their setting. She quickly became very happy, comfortable and settled there.
The setting is always clean and welcoming, and Hayley regularly takes the children to playgroups, parks and other activities, giving them lots of new experiences. Our daughter learned so much during her time with them.
We only changed childminders because we moved to a different area otherwise, I would never have chosen anyone else. We will always be grateful to Hayley and Jan and would wholeheartedly recommend their setting to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing place for their little one.

Our daughter has been with Hayley and Jan for over a year now, and I'm so glad we found them. My daughter was upset when away from her parents when she was young; however, Hayley and Jan were so patient with her, and now she loves going there every day and gets excited to go in the morning. We get updates throughout the day on how she is doing, along with pictures/videos, which certainly put you at ease. I know our daughter loves being there and gets plenty of snuggles when she needs them!

Our little boy started with Hayley and Jan at 11 months old and is now nearing three. Our little one is a NICU graduate and I was so nervous about him starting with a childminder. With Hayley and Jan, I had no worries. They welcomed our little boy into their settings and have nurtured and developed him so much. They are supportive, caring, incredibly patient and I honestly couldn't recommend them higher. If you are considering childcare for your little one, I thoroughly recommend Hayley and Jan. I will be distraught when our time with them comes to and end and I know my son will be too.

Hayley and Jan have taken such great care of my daughter, since she started going to them in February 2023 when she was just 16 months old She absolutely loves spending her days with them. They plan lots of fun outings and varied activities, which have helped her learn and grow in so many ways. They’ve been incredibly supportive in her development — from helping with toilet training, to transitioning from a bottle to cups, and even gently encouraging her to try new foods despite her being a very fussy eater. I’m so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication they show her every single day. If you’re looking for a childminder for your precious little one, I’d definitely recommend Hayley and Jan.

My little boy has been with Hayley & Jan since he was 9months old. They often have fun days out and we get an update everyday, most days with a photo too. Hayley has offered advice when we were unsure with some things (sleep patterns, bedtimes etc) and holds no judgement. Her & Jan are both caring, down to earth people who genuinely enjoy being with my little boy.

My son has been going to Hayley for a good few months now and he absolutely loves it. They are always doing something with the kids to keep them entertained and Hayley always sends photos and a review of how my sons day has been which I look forward too. I would recommend Hayley to anyone.

Hayley is really lovely! Very understanding, my little boy has come along loads since being with Hayley especially his speech! Her mum who is her assistant is brilliant too, they get them interacting with children and take them for days out and walks in the fresh air. I would recommend ☺️☺️

My daughter has been going to Hayley's for a few months now, she is amazing. Very welcoming and accommodating to my shifts. Everly loves going, she was a bit unsure at first but now goes straight in with no hesitation. They are always doing something fun, and Hayley provides updates throughout the day. Lovely childminder, would highly recommend!

Hayley has been my sons childminder since he was 6 months old. He loves being at hayleys and hayley shares pictures with me when they have been out for the day or attended play dates and events. Hayley goes above and beyond to make sure that Alexander is looked after and communicates any concerns with me. I would highly recommend hayley to anyone looking for a childminder.

Hayley has been minding my daughter abbie for 7 weeks now. Abbie absolutely loves it. Hayley is great at keeping in touch and giving up dates. As I left my daughter at a early age with hayley , hayley is very easy to get along with and put my mind at rest. Hayley also takes abbie out which is great for her to be out anad about. I would highly recommend hayley as a child minder to anyone.
