Simmone is honestly fantastic with my little girl. She absolutely loves her and it didn’t take her long to settle in and feel at ease. She gets so excited to go to Simmone’s and I can always tell she has had the best day when I go and pick her up. Simmone does so much with her and the other children and is also so thoughtful when it comes to special events like Mother’s Day and Christmas and she really goes the extra mile. We are so grateful for the care that simmone gives to our little girl and couldn’t be happier that we chose her for our childminder.

Simmone is an excellent childminder who we highly recommend. She is so child centred and really goes the extra miles to make each child feel settled, included and involved.
A warm welcome awaits you every morning and Simmone instills a sense of peace of mind in me that I'm leaving my girls in such caring hands.
Simmone always goes over and above in her care, planning fun activities and sessions around what the children enjoy.
There is so much outdoor space for the children to play in as well and a fantastic variety of toys and equipment. She's super!

My daughter attended the setting before and after school and she instantly felt welcomed from day one. The childminder always greeted both me and my daughter each morning and communicated at pick up times.
The setting was always clean and presentable and had plenty of toys for my daughter to play with. My daughter also enjoyed playing with the childminders children who both attend the school.
The childminder was always carrying out activities which my daughter enjoyed and for various celebrations and occasions my daughter always did activities and came home with little gifts.
The childminder was super flexible and always available when I needed extra care and was understanding if I was running late.
Overall a super childminder and I cannot thank her enough for the care that she provided for my daughter.

Our daughter is this childminders first child as she is recently qualified and we are very impressed with her fun and friendly attitude. Her house is spotless and choc full of things for small children and big children alike including a wonderful garden area and sensory play. She is flexible and very helpful. Also the house is a bungalow with no stairs so the children have free flow play. She will also take children to playgroups and on visits which is a bonus over nurseries.
Overall a wonderful childminder.
