Denise's Reviews

A fantastic childminder and lovely person!

I couldn't recommend Denise highly enough. My daughter, 5, has been with her for a year and has enjoyed every day she has been with Denise. Denise really helped her to build up her confidence as she is normally very shy. It was amazing how comfortable she felt with Denise so quickly.
Denise has a lovely, warm and gentle manner. She always has fun activities and days out planned. She gets to know each individual child and genuinely cares very much for them. Her own children are lovely too and a credit to her.
We are devastated to leave Denise, due to starting school out of the area. It has been a wonderful year. I've been able to work knowing that my daughter was having lots of fun and receiving excellent care.

Thank you Denise!

Fantastic childcare

Denise is a wonderful childminder and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for personalised childcare for their child. Denise is warm and welcoming who is reliable and professional at all times.

My son started with Denise when he was 11 months old and settled in very quickly. On collection he was always in an upbeat mood and I was secure in the knowledge that my son was in safe hands whilst I was at work. She would provide healthy snacks & lovely homemade lunches for my son and would always tell me when he tried any new foods and whether he liked them or not!

Denise ensured my son had access to outdoor play and would regularly take him to weekly local play groups and trips out to places such as the Science Centre.

My son is currently about to start nursery and won’t be cared for by Denise anymore however I know that he has benefitted from the fantastic childcare that Denise provided in his early years. We feel very fortunate to have found Denise and that our son experienced childcare in such a warm and homely environment by Denise and her family.

An excellent child minder

Denise is fantastic. She treated our daughter like her own from the very start. She is extremely kind, caring and fun and her home is very inviting.

Denise always checked if we were happy with an outing and we trusted her to look after our daughter when out and about. She helped reinforce lessons like crossing the road safely and if there was something we wanted our daughter to work on Denise would help. Our daughter always appreciated the trips out. They went to the library and the park when weather permitted.

They also did a lot of educational and fun stuff like baking, puzzles, art and play.

When picking up our daughter in the evening it sometimes took a bit of time to get out the door because she was reluctant to leave. We took this as a good sign and were happy she felt comfortable and safe there.

Going to Denise's house was a highlight and our daughter became firm friends with her children. Leaving the area, and Denise, was hard because we had someone we trusted absolutely and our daughter just adored her.

Denise is an excellent child minder and we would definitely recommend her. Our hope is that someone else's child will benefit from the care she provides.
