Cosytoes's Reviews

Fabulous Childminder

Vicky is my son’s childminder and she is nothing short of amazing! Never fails to welcome us with a smile in the morning and the same when I collect later in the day. A lovely homely environment with excellent resources for children of all ages and a beautiful outdoor play area. Vicky attends toddler group and takes the children on outings providing an all round varied, stimulating and very happy childcare setting. I would highly recommend Vicky to anyone looking for a childminder.

Thank you so much 😊 real pleasure watching him thrive 💕

Highly recommended

We had a great childminder for my eldest, so when we moved house I was really worried we wouldn't find anything the same for my youngest. However, we had absolutely nothing to worry about as Vicky is amazing and my son loves going to Cosytoes. Vicky offers a really lovely, caring environment with a great space for the children to play and learn. She is really generous with taking the children out and about, and my son particularly loves the trips to the allotment. Vicky has been great at teaching him everyday skills and preparing him to start school. We couldn't recommend Vicky enough.

Great childminder

Vicky has been my son’s childminder for a few years now and he loves his days there. They always do lots of different activities, both inside the house and also outside. They frequently go out to explore different places.
There is also a lovely outside area in the garden for the children to play, which includes lots of role play toys.

Vicky has been very supportive in helping my son adapt to wearing his hearing aids and she also does lots of activities and games to help support his speech. It’s a very nurturing environment which has helped my son’s confidence grow greatly.

Excellent childminder

My daughter has been with Vicky for over 2 years now since she was 10 months old and she’s been fantastic! She’s great with updating us on what they’ve been up to, they do a wide range of activities each week and most importantly my daughter is really happy there. Highly recommended!!!

Thank you for lovely review 💕and more importantly being part of our Cosytoes family ♥️

Lovely place

I went to visit Vickys looking for a childminder. As I cycle it’s too far for me. But she was really helpful suggesting other options, the kids looked happy, and she’s put in place really nice outside space under cover for the kids. So I thought I’d share my experience. Hope it’s helpful.

Highly recommend without hesitation!

Cosytoes is a fantastic childcare setting. Our son (aged 10) attends in the morning prior to school and our daughter (aged 2) attends 3 full days a week. The environment at Cosytoes is warm and welcoming. Both our children settled really quickly when they joined and enjoy the structure and routine that Vicky has in place for them. It is without hesitation that we would recommend Cosytoes to others. Both the children adore Vicky and her enthusiasm and dedication to the needs of individual children is clearly visible. She knows our children incredibly well, picks up on her change of mood/any illness and is quick to inform us of anything she notices, this is reassuring as a parent and we are very grateful for this. Her house is welcoming as are her children!

Excellent childminder who we'd highly recommend!

Vicky is a wonderful childminder who we would highly recommend. Her welcoming home from home environment is perfect for our little girl and we enjoy receiving lots of updates and photos throughout the week! She provides wonderful activities daily both indoors and outdoors and our little girl's confidence, communication and interaction skills have come on leaps with Vicky's support. My little girl is always very keen to close Vicky's front door at drop off as she is in such a hurry to start her day with Vicky and the other children!! Would recommend without any hesitation. Thanks Vicky!

Highly recommended home from home.

A warm, fun-filled and engaging environment where children form strong friendships with each other. Vicky provides a range of educational activities suitable for all ages and is excellent at supporting preschoolers as they transition to school. Goes above and beyond with parties, trips to the theatre, soft play, trampoline parks and cinema. A fabulous outdoor space with regular trips to parks and into nature. The holiday club is fantastic for school-age children too.
