Below are the latest reviews for Fiona. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Fiona looked after our first child from when he was 4 months old until he was 1.5 years (when we had to move away);
for 5-8 hours per day, four days a week, and we were consistently very happy and thankful. My son's face lit up whenever he would spot her in the neighborhood and whenever we brought him and he was absolutely content spending even the occasional very long day. He was very active very early on as well as very inquisitive and Fiona was great at supporting this.
Fiona was very accommodating for our busy and sometimes hectic schedules and consistently available. We hope that we'll find a childminder soon that'll do half as good a job!
