I nearly gave up hope of finding my 10 month old daughter a childminder, until I came across Louise. She instantly made me feel relaxed and calm and was so friendly and welcoming with my little one. Now my daughter is 2 and she absolutely adores Louise! So much so that she cries when I pick her up!! I know Louise genuinely cares for all the children and wants them to have the best time in her care. She takes them out almost every day to parks, soft plays, garden centres (to see the fish/reptiles), farms, Clivedon, library for nursery rhyme time, playgroups etc etc! This is so good for their development and nursery doesn’t match up! A school mum friend of mine saw Louise at a softplay and commented on how engaging she was with the children actually getting in and playing/interacting with them. That is just how she is….providing the best possible care and love. I regularly receive photos and updates of what they have been up to and Louise also helps the children make Mothers/Fathers day, Easter/Xmas cards etc which is a lovely touch. Her house is cosy, warm, light and bright with 100’s of toys for the children! My daughter loves it there and excitedly runs in every morning. Louise is just simply the best! So glad we found her!!

Louise is the best childminder we could have ever chosen. She's been looking after my 2 daughters since age 1 and it's been such a nice experience, she's so caring and lovely but the kids are also learning so much and making friendships. I'm very happy we found Louise, kids love her and she's such a nice person, always helps when we need extra hours.

Our experience with Louise has been excellent. She is an exceptionally caring individual who has a natural affinity with children.
Louise looks after children of mixed ages, manages the dynamic brilliantly, with all children mixing well and having lots of fun.
She is brilliantly calm and my daughter loves spending time there after school.
We only wish we’d found her sooner!

Louise is a real treasure for the children she cares for, treating them like her own. A kind and loving childminder, she’s great at handling a variety of different personalities and bringing out the best in the kids she spends time with. She is very organised and operates with an easy-going but professional manner – she knows the area well and has a good network of other childminders, which means her kids get to experience a wide range of activities available in the local area.

Our daughter spent over 3 years with Louise and has honestly loved every minute of it – she’s grown into a confident and outgoing young girl, with a good balance of discipline and curiosity. Louise has got bags of energy and as a group, they are always out and about having fun and learning, seeing the world (parks, farms, softplay, playgroups, local events etc.), and enjoying experiences that frankly, you don’t get at a nursery.

Communication is good and she regularly shares pictures and videos of their adventures, which as a parent is important in understanding how your little one is developing and living their life. She has a wide range of toys that cater for different ages and keep them engaged, and our daughter regularly comes home singing a new song that she’s learned! Location is also good, with a large park within walking distance.

I thoroughly recommend Louise - we’ve felt comfortable with her since the start and talking with other parents of children she looks after, there’s a unanimous opinion that she is simply the best!

What can I say about Louise - she is kind, caring, patient, nurturing, professional childminder who provides a home from home! My daughter loves going to see Louise, and always has the best time!

From the moment I met Louise I just had this good feeling, Louise has a relaxed and friendly demeanor and that I knew Darcey would be well cared for. She takes the children out to parks, music groups, day trips etc and her home is full of wonderful toys and opportunities for the children to develop and learn. It looks like she has so much fun every time she goes!

Louise provides plenty of photos from her days there and feedback to me on her development and what they have been up to. I know that if Darcey is upset Louise will care for her as if she was her own and that makes all the difference.

I've already recommended Louise to other parents I know - I would definitely get in touch and go meet her yourself.

My son has been looked after by Louise since he was only six months old. He remained in her care until he started school and is still sometimes cared by her during school holidays. From the minute I first met Louise, just from the way she interacted with my baby son, I knew she was the one I would trust to look after him. She is absolutely brilliant with children. Her whole persona is calm and caring. I felt that she has a real interest in children and in nurturing them and supporting them in their development. My son adores Louise and never had a day when he didn't want to go to her. Her home became his second home. The children have so much fun with her and she regularly takes them on outings, for example to parks, playgroups or the playground. I thoroughly recommend Louise. There is no better childminder.

My son has been with Louise for over two years and I strongly recommend her as a child minder. He loves her and the different activities and places that they visit. He is always very happy and excited to go to her and his friends. We have always found her professional and trustworthy and her flexibility has been a massive benefit.

Both my 2 children are looked after by Louise. Louise does drop off and pick up for my daughter who goes to Alwyn infants and has her over all the holidays full time.
My youngest child Reuben has been in Louise's full-time care from the age of 14 months to nearly three years and during this time has grown into a happy and confident little boy. Louise has played a huge part in his development in that she has given my child guidance in manners, play, sharing and of course her loving care. I cannot stress enough how I would not hesitate to recommend Louise as a childminder and have found her to be extremely competent, conscientious and trustworthy. I would have 100% confidence that she would be able to offer any child in her care everything that is required and more.
We have found Louise to be an extremely capable individual. She is caring and nurturing but instilled good discipline in both our children and has a great sense of fun. She has a wide breadth of experience in looking after children and always made us feel confident in her ability to look after and care for our kids. Louise is excellent at planning activities for the children, with daily activities such as playgroups and crafts. She also takes the children on a wide range of activities and visits different places throughout the holidays. My son actually cries when he has to leave at the end of the day to go home, that in itself says it all about Louise as a Childminder! A true God send for any parent!

I highly recommend Louise as a child minder, being a first time mother I was so worried about leaving my son with somebody but Louise quickly quietened those fears and made me feel at ease straight away. She is fantastic with my son and he loves her. He is always very happy and excited to go to her. She is professional and flexible, but also a genuinely caring and warm person.
Her home is full of life and happiness and is a great environment for kids...a home away from home. I am very happy to have found her and so is my son.

My daughter started Louise’s care full time when she was 1 and went to her for over a year. I strongly recommend Louise as a child-minder. Louise’s care not just gave my daughter loads of love and a family atmosphere when I was away at work but it also helped discipline her. She learnt to say her pleases and thank you, was not sleep trained when she started with Louise which Louise magically managed, learnt to use a spoon, folk and knife and a whole lot of social skills. Louise is a great balance of making sure the child is really cared for and that they have fun. My daughter today (even after 6 months of having left Louise’s care) misses her and every time she meet Louise taking my daughter back home is almost next to impossible as she refuses to leave. I highly recommend Louise for anyone looking for care for their child.
