Di looks after our 16 month old daughter 4 days a week. Emilia is thriving in Di’s care and she settled in very very quickly. Every day when we drop her off, she waves us goodbye with a big grin on her face.
Di is fantastic at following our home routines and is always very accommodating with any requests. It is truly a home from home environment and a very stimulating and nurturing one. Di’s experience of working with children is so valuable and her calmness and professionalism is always very reassuring.
We have seen a big progress in Emilia’s development since she started attending the setting. I would wholeheartedly recommend Di to anyone looking for a high quality childcare.

Thank you for such a lovely review, Emilia is a pleasure to look after and has really settled into the setting
Di 🤗
I don’t know what I would have done without Di over the last 3-4 years. Di provides a calm, friendly, safe and stimulating environment which has enabled my daughter to flourish and become a happy, confident and sociable 4 year old equipped with the skills she needs to start school this September. We will be sad to say goodbye to Di at the end of next week but I know that my daughter will be excited to see her and some of her old friends at half term and tell them all about her new school. I could not recommend Di enough…I feel so lucky to have found her.

Hi
Thank you for your lovely review, we will miss you but will look forward to seeing you in the school holidays
Di🤗
I cannot recommend Di enough! She has been looking after my 18 month old daughter for nearly a year now, and she has done an absolutely amazing job. From the moment we first met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that our daughter would be in good hands.
Di is incredibly warm, patient, and caring. She takes the time to get to know each child she works with, and she truly goes above and beyond to meet their needs. She creates a safe and nurturing environment where my daughter feels happy and secure.
One of the things I appreciate most about Di is her attention to detail. She is always proactive in communicating with us about our daughter's progress, and she is very responsive to any questions or concerns we may have. She is also very organized and keeps to our daughter's routines and preferences.
Overall, I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. I would highly recommend Di to anyone looking for high-quality childcare. Thank you so much for all that you do!

Hi
Thank you for such a lovely review we will really miss you if you ever return to Leicestershire please look us up
Di 🤗
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Di as a childminder!
Both of my children have attended her setting since they were 10 months old and my eldest only left last week as he is starting school. He is already looking forward to seeing her again in the school holidays! My youngest continues to attend.
Both of my children have always enjoyed attending Di’s setting and are content and happy when they are dropped off, showing how comfortable they are with her.
Di’s setting provides a home from home environment, which along with her huge wealth of experience and her calm and caring demeanour provides a fantastic space for a child’s development.
Di has always been very flexible and accommodating to my childcare needs which as a working parent I have found invaluable.

Thank you so much for your lovely review
Di 🤗
My daughter is just about to leave for school after being with Di from 7 months old, she has grown into a polite, happy, and kind little girl. I am in no doubt those qualities have been strengthened from her time with Di.
When we initially made the decision to look for a childcare setting I was very anxious, but Di’s warm and caring nature immediately made me feel at ease. This coupled with years of experience, I knew my daughter was in safe hands.
When I collect my daughter she is always happy and excited to tell me about her day, Di also keeps me updated with her progress and happy to chat about her day.
She takes a real interest in the children she looks after and my daughter adores her! I honestly can’t recommend Di highly enough.
She is quite simply fantastic!
Thankyou for everything Di, I know Penny will be excited to see you in the holidays x
