Louise has cared for our son since he was 6 months old, he is now 4 and ready to leave for big boys school. Since the day our little boy met Louise she has provided him with the most amazing care and given him every opportunity to thrive and has supported his learning and overall development. Louise has gone above and beyond her role as a childminder, and we cannot thank her enough for what she has done for our son. We have never had any worries around Louise's level of care, she has always prioritized our sons safety and wellbeing. The thing we love the most about Louise is the family feel she gives children, our son absolutely adores Louise, her husband and her children and has formed the most loving relationships with them. We are very grateful to have found Louise and have trusted every aspect of her care. We want to thank Louise for her warm and nurturing care and preparing our son for school, we are very sad to say goodbye but will of course be back during the school holidays! If I could recommend any one as a childminder Louise would always be the first person. She and her family are wonderful and you can fully rely on Louise to meet every aspect of your child's development but most of all keep them safe and love them. Thank you Louise! you are simply the best!

Louise is an amazing Childminder. My 2 year old daughter has been going to Louise for just over a year now and I have been thoroughly impressed with every aspect of her care. There is great communication, daily updates on her activities (all very educational and lots of fun!) and home cooked, healthy meals and snacks daily. Louise's husband and children are very happy and polite and the children are extremely good with my daughter. Louise is extremely flexible and helpful if ever I have an emergency and always gives ample notice of any holiday dates for the year. My daughter always speaks very fondly of Louise and everyone in the home. She is always happy to go to Louise, but if for any reason she is ever upset, Louise will always communicate and reassure me that she has settled (usually within seconds of me leaving!) She is fair and treats all of the children she cares for equally and with the utmost positive attention.The home is always clean and tidy with lots of different activities. I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing childcare services.

I have been extremely happy with the care my son has received and the great progress he has made whilst in Louise's care. Louise's home is always welcoming , clean and well organised and my son has great fun playing with all toys available indoors and activities outdoor. We would highly recommend Louise.
