I am an ofsted registered childminder, and have been for 14 years now,
I have 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls.
The 3 boys are now 33(twins) and 31 and after graduating from uni, have all left home.
The 3 girls are aged 22, 19 and 17, they are lovely girls and great with the little ones I care for.
We have a few pets! 2 dogs, 1 hamster, and 2 Axolotls
I have a secure garden with lots of toys, we spend lots of time outside when the weather permits, we also go for some lovely walks, we are only 10 minutes away from the canal. and 10 minutes from 2 lovely parks.

We do lots of Arts and crafts, and love to bake!

Maxine is simply amazing, she looks after my son like he's one of her own! He gets excited when we pull up to the house and can't wait for a fun filled day with her!
I feel so happy going to work knowing he's happy at his childminders and so well looked after!
She does lots of activities with him, teaches him things and he's always coming home with art work and things he's made!
I couldn't reccomend anyone better!
She's a life saver! X

Maxine has been amazing with my son, he loves going. She is always keeping them busy and entertained, doing baking, crafting, and other indoor and outdoor activities. I would highly recommend. I have no worries at all when my son is with Maxine. She is flexible and always meets your needs.

Thanks so much for your lovely review x
Maxine looked after my daughter who had just turned 1 at the time, she made my daughter feel very at ease with the different surroundings and a lot more children, also made my daughter keep her glasses on which I can never do! ??
Maxine was very flexible and just amazing with Mazie . I recommend her to everyone looking for a childminder x

I have used Maxine for 2 years for both of my children. Never had any problems, both children loved going to hers. Always doing crafts/baking/outdoor activities. Would highly recommend Maxine, a lady that truly cares for others.

A lovely review, thank you x
I've always been sceptical about leaving my children with someone I have only just met but after hearing such great things about Maxine I thought I'd sort out a meeting, definitely one of the best things I done for my daughter!! Maxine is such kind hearted and enthusiastic and my daughter absolutely loves her!! Sometimes when I drop my daughter at nursery she will say 'mummy I want to stay with you' if she ever hears that she is going to Maxine's the first thing she says is 'I can go on her trampoline!' And I sigh with relief knowing that my daughter is 100% comfortable being with Maxine and I don't have to worry when at work! Maxine is a lifesaver as after a tough childhood myself I never ever thought I'd be at ease leaving my daughter with anyone but family! My daughter loves telling me about all the activities she does at Maxine's! I really can't rate Maxine enough!!

She is a pleasure to have, thanks for a great review x
Very impressed with the service provided for my daughter when she was 2-3 years old.
She felt relaxed and confident at Maxine's house and engaged well.
She always came away having learned new things and had lots of fun things to talk about.
