Phillipas Childcare

Amazing!

Phillipa is such a warm and friendly childminder, both my kids clicked with her straight away. She is so much fun and always on the go. She genuinely cares for all the kids she has, this is obvious from the first time you meet her. I would highly recommend her services; as she makes things so easy and you can relax knowing the kids are having fun and are been cared for. We LOVE “fraprarrh” as my little boy used to call her! X

Fantastic childminder

Phillipa has been my childminder for 7 years and has looked after both of my daughters. Her home is a clean, relaxed and welcoming setting with a dedicated play room and lovely outside space. My girls have always loved going to Phillipa's and often don't want to leave!

Phillipa and her team are always taking the children out to farms, parks and play sessions and when at home, they engage in fun and creative play and the children often bring home things they have made including Mother's day cards and Christmas decorations and biscuits.

I would not hesitate to recommend Phillipa as a childminder and continue to use her for holiday care.

5 star childcare

We found Phillipa through this website after searching for a new childcare provider for our 5 year old son, after his previous day nursery let us down. We were very apprehensive but we were put at ease straight away, after messaging, contacting via phone and then arranging a meet up. We were struggling to find a child minder who would suit our needs due to odd hours due to work/university arrangements, but Phillipa was very accommodating to what we needed.

Right from the beginning, our son loved going to Phillipa's and was very excited to go and always said he wanted to go every day!

We felt like he was made to feel like one of her own and he fitted in straight away with all the other boys and girls.

Due to a change of work commitments, we no longer needed to utilise Phillipa's childcare, but should the situation change, we wouldn't hesitate in a heartbeat to have Phillipa look after our son again.

We would fully recommend Phillipa to anyone looking for childcare in the area. You will be accepted into a loving and friendly environment.

Wonderful childminder.

I used Phillipa when returning to work after having my second child. My previous childminder, who had cared for other family members too, had retired and I was very nervous about finding someone else. There were big shoes to fill. I found Phillipa through a strong recommendation.
Phillipa is fabulous and at times became my second right hand. She is flexible, understanding, extremely professional and incredibly warm. She got my bland food loving children to eat healthy and exciting dishes. She helped and fully encouraged my daughters potty training. She taught my children to sing and sign. I would be here all day if I were to explain everything. She is my go to Childminder.

Fantastic!

Phillipa is an amazing childminder and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. When I initially put my eldest into childcare with another childminder he was very anxious and upset so I changed to Phillipa when he was 1. The difference in him was amazing! She was so encouraging that he became much more confident and outgoing and has now grown into a very lively and outspoken five year old! My youngest is now nearly three and he has also grown in confidence since being with Phillipa. It is really reassuring to know that when they go to Phillipa's it's like an extension of my care as she looks after them and loves them as if they were her own. Phillipa regularly takes the boys to toddler groups, soft play or sing and sign so they always have something to tell me about or show me when I go to pick them up. Phillipa has a lovely, welcoming family home and both Phillipa and Alana are always happy to discuss the boys progress or support me and my family in any way they can.

Amazing

Hi everyone, I felt I needed to write this review as like everyone on here we all want the best for our children. My 2 boys have been with Phillipa for 4 years now and there's only one word to describe her and her family, "amazing". My two boys absolutely adore her, her home is so welcoming and they treat it like their own, something which Phillipa encourages and I know they would only do that if they felt entirely comfortable. Phillipa is fantastic with the boys, the range of activities she offers is amazing and the thought and effort she puts into everything is outstanding. Phillipa works so well with me and my partner and is supportive in every sense. The playroom is great and both boys have to be bribed away from her home! They adore her which makes my job as a parent so much easier, I have never worried, ever about leaving them and Phillipa is always re-assuring and honest. I honestly cannot recommend her enough and I feel exactly the same about her assistant Alana. I can't see a day when Phillipa won't be in my boys life, they adore her and feel safe, secure and content whilst there and as a parent this is more than I could ever ask for.

Review

Philipa has been my child minder for four years now. Initially I was very anxious returning to work and leaving my first baby however I was quickly reassured. Phillipa and her assistant are both loving, caring and extremely professional and reliable and I never worry that my children are not being cared for to a high standard. Philipa offers a homely and relaxing environment but with routine and structure for the children. She frequently takes the children out on fun day trips especially during the holidays. I would not hesitate to recommend her service.
