Being a new mummy I was really apprehensive about going back to work and the thought of leaving my 10 month year old son with a complete stranger filled me with dread. I had visited a few nurseries however, Donna instantly put my mind at rest when meeting her at a local toddler group.

Donna offers a very personal touch with a home from home environment. She takes the time to get to know you and your child thoroughly and can provide the one to one love and care that a nursery could not compete. By the time it came to leaving my son for the first time I had 100% trust in her to look after him as if he was her own.

Donna is an extremely motivated, pro-active and confident person and in the 4 months that Eddie has been in her care his development has been amazing. She regularly takes him to a soft play centre, song time at the local library and various toddler groups. Donna is also extremely creative and regularly encourages Eddie to take part in messy play, painting pictures and my most favourite of all helping him to make his first Mother’s Day card!

Donna is also very well thought of and connected in the village and regularly socialises with other child-minders allowing my son to interact and develop his social skills with other children.

Donna was born to be a child-minder and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for childcare for their son or daughter!

Donna has been looking after my 6 year old son one evening a week after school since July this year. Both my husband and I are delighted with how quickly Sam has settled and how much he enjoys going to Donna's. Donna provides excellent care to all the children she looks after, is reliable, hard working and clearly thoroughly enjoys looking after children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and am now looking to start my two year old daughter with her for occasional sessions.

I was very apprehensive about my 22 month old daughter going to a childcarer whilst I went back to work. But after hearing so many good reviews about Donna and meeting her at the local mother and toddler, all my anticipation was put to rest!
My daughter Yasmine has been in the care if Donna since April this year, she goes 4 days a week for 6 and a half hours. The first week was very difficult fir me but Yasmine settled in very quickly.
Donna is a fantastic childcarer and I know my daughter in in safe hands with her.
Donna takes Yasmine out to local music groups, mother and toddler groups and does different activities with her in her own home.
Since Yasmine has been at Donnas myself and other family members have noticed how much progress she has made with most things, especially her speech and independence.
Yasmine always runs to donnas house every morning, goes straight in and its as though its her second home.
Yasmine also loves donnas daughter and the other children that are cared for by Donna.
Yasmine is now so settled that when I go to collect her each day, she never wants to leave and will tell me 'no' whilst cuddling Donna!
I am so very happy with the care Donna gives my daughter and couldn't ask for more.

Donna has been looking after my 18 month old daughter for 2 months now and I am so happy with the care provided that I would recommend her to anybody :) having worked in a childcare and education setting from 2000-2011 I know how important it is to have someone that you can trust to look after your most treasured possession and I totally trust Donna to do this. She has settled my daughter and she is now able to kiss me and wave goodbye without any tears which for me has shown that she totally trusts Donna and has built a good relationship with her and her daughter. Keep up the good work Donna :)
