Vannesa Childminder's Reviews

Could not have asked for anything more

I had to go back to work when my twin boys turned 1 and like most mum it was daunting that I will have to leave my children with someone I don't know and could I trust that they will love and acre for my children at least half they way I would?

My friend introduced me to Vanessa, and all my worries were removed within the first week as Vanessa comes with extra love and care for the children more than I expect from a childminder.
She is hardworking, caring and innovative.

The children are aware of the world around them via practical activities; local parks,animal farms, children centres. There is always themes for the month and each seasons of the year. They celebrate Valentines, Easter, Chinese new year, Christmas where they create wonderful pieces of art work. Mothers day canvass art work, a father's day trophy, r hand prints casts to name a few things.Most of these unique pieces are hanging gracefully in our home. The boys still remember making them now that they are 4 years old and retell the stories of how they got help from Vanessa in making them

Vanessa is very accommodating and will try to factor in my late and special requests as regards the boys eating and playing. she respects my way of training the child and will give her advise when solicited. She is always open to talking about the development of the boys and will refer books and activities at home.

Vanessa also keeps a lovely picture book on each child for parents to have a look at anytime.

What can I say if you really want a childminder that will love and care for your child's growth and development
with excellent customer service and a great smile look no further Vanessa is the one person that can meet tour expectations.

The boys still always insist on visiting Vanessa occasionally even when they started school.

Like I always say to her 'Vanessa is the best'. You will see that she genuinely cares for all the children under her care.

Best experience all round

Vanessa is the best. To her it's not just a job, it's her genuine love for my kids. Even now we moved out of UK, we still have that special bond with Vanessa. She helped my kids alot, their behaviour improved and their learning and listening was on point. Vanessa is now family to us. Myself and my kids love her. Thank you Vanessa. You are the best thing that can happen to a new mum and all working moms on general.

Would highly recommend

I have been leaving my 17 month old daughter with Vanessa for over 10 months now and I am more than happy with my decision.

At first like most parents I had worries about leaving my child and about how she would cope there, but I needed have worried as Vanessa is a extremely hardworking, caring and creative childminder!

She takes the children out to the local children centres and parks, and every few months all the children complete a theme on a display board such as spring, easter, chinese new year, christmas where they create wonderful pieces of art which have included a pasta shell necklace, a father's day trophy, rabbit paintings made using hand prints to name a few things! Of course I know my daughter is quite young to actually make these things herself but it is so lovely to know that she is learning and having fun at the same time! Best of all I get to keep her lovely work!

Vanessa is very easy to communicate with and she respects my wishes to use organic food and products on my baby and when I pick her up I always have the opportunity to ask her any questions about my child.

Vanessa also keeps all parents updated by keeping daily diaries of each child which includes photos of their day, what they've eaten, what activities they did and logging any developmental milestones they have made via the megaminder website which I can log into and check anytime. Vanessa also keeps a lovely picture book on each child for parents to have a look at anytime.

I've said an awful lot here but I just wanted to put across that if your're a parent who wants a childminder who is hardworking, attentive, caring, considerate, calm, creative, has excellent communication skills and will promote your child's development and will let them have fun at the same time, then look no further than Vanessa!
