We emailed Alice because we needed urgent last minute childcare and she responded so quickly and was able to find a solution for us right away, we were so relieved. We didn't end up going with her because our situation suddenly changed but I will definitly keep her name in mind as it is rare nowadays to find such a reliable person.

Alice was very pleasant to deal with. Her communication was excellent and she was very accommodating. Her home was welcoming with lots of indoor and outdoor toys and my little boy clearly enjoyed being there.

I’ve not been with Alice long, but since I have my kids love going so much to the point when I collect they don’t want to leave. Her two girls are lovely and get along well with my kids. I have 4 kids who attend with Alice aged 8,5,3,1. I highly recommend to anyone to use Alice’s childminding services 5*
