A beautiful, kind and caring childminder. Donna is amazing with my boys and they absolutely love her; this year my sons birthday falls on a day with Donna and I gave him the choice of mummy and daddy collecting him from school or going to Donna, and he said he’d like to still see Donna on his birthday! This to me just demonstrates how much fun and love he has for his childminder. They have known each other since he was 4 years old and now nearly 10 they have a trust and an unbreakable bond that can never be broken. Donna gives a lovely additional motherly, extended family feel that both my boys adore. They are always happy and smily at collection. She is a star! Could not recommend highly enough.

Our son has been with Donna from a young age and he has absolutely loved being looked after by Donna. He is always happy and excited to be spending the day with her and loves seeing all his friends there. Donna, has provided a very caring, supportive and fun home environment in which our son has thrived. Her communication has always been excellent, with both children and parents, the children have a wide variety of activities during the day including plenty of time outside.
Donna provides school run for our two children also.We highly recommend her for anyone looking for top quality, reliable, caring childminder.

I cannot recommend Donna highly enough! She is kind, caring and lots of fun. She will go above and beyond for your children and is incredibly flexible too. She is honest, trustworthy and reliable and ensures that all children in her care are safe and well cared for.

Donna was recommended to me by a friend and I feel so lucky to have found her! My daughter (2) is so happy to go to her and Donna spent time helping her to get settled in the early days. Donna is a very warm, kind person and has such a lovely way with children - I think she was born to work with them! She will also try and accommodate you if you request a bit of extra help/swapping around. My daughter always has a lovely time when she's with Donna and often brings home crafts she's made, plus I get regular photos showing what she's up to.

Donna has been amazing whilst caring for my 2 year old daughter. She is so caring and provides lots of activities based on my daughter's interests. Her house and garden is lovely and safe.
I always receive a full run down of what has happened within the day everytime I collect. My daughter has been very happy being in Donna's care.
I would 100% recommend her.
