Dianne

The BEST childminder in the world.

We met Dianne when my son was 11 months old (he’s 3 now). I contacted her through this site we had an informal chat I had a good number of these informal chats with other childminders however I felt incredibly reassured from the chat I had with Dianne who had absolutely no problem answering the numerous questions I had haha. Dianne then invited us over to her place for a visit. I remember that evening clear as day. I pick up energy very easily and felt incredibly comfortable in Dianne’s presence. My son so much so that he laid his little head on Dianne it was an adorable moment and that let me know that Dianne was the one.

As stated, my son is now 3 and Dianne is the only childminder he knows. She has a wonderful space, both indoor and outdoor for the little ones. My son does different activities while he’s at Diane’s which is brilliant for his developmental needs aswell as socialising with other children.

Aswell as an appropriately child catered environment, Dianne assists my son with his toileting needs, changing, snacks and meals and I find at times he eats more for her than at home haha. As you might see Dianne is Ofsted registered which again is incredibly reassuring as a parent to know that her business is regulated and necessary checks are undertaken.

Furthermore, Dianne is incredibly flexible to which we appreciate greatly. Thank you ever so much Dianne, I rest assured going to work or whenever else I go, knowing J is in safe hands and a warm and comfortable environment.

You won’t go wrong utilising Dianne’s childminding services, I can genuinely say this hand on heart. They say it takes a village to raise a child and Dianne most certainly is part of our village!

Thanks again Dianne.

An Exceptional Person Who Goes Above and Beyond

I cannot praise our childminder enough for the incredible care and attention she has provided for our little one! From the moment we met her, it was evident that she was not just a childminder but a true caregiver who genuinely loves and cherishes the children under her care.
From the first day, our children took to her like a duck to water. Her warm and nurturing nature immediately put both our children and us at ease. It's truly heartwarming to witness the strong bond that has developed between our little ones and our childminder.
One of the things that impressed us most is her dedication to creating a safe and stimulating environment for the kids. Her home is always immaculately clean and well-organized, with plenty of age-appropriate toys, books, and activities that keep the children engaged and happy throughout the day. It's clear she puts a lot of thought into planning activities that are not only fun but also educational, which has helped our children develop essential skills and knowledge.
Communication has been exceptional from day one. Our childminder keeps us regularly updated on our children's progress, daily routines, and any special moments or milestones our little ones achieve. It's incredibly reassuring to know that our children are in such capable hands and that we are always in the loop about their day.
Another aspect that stands out is her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our family's unique needs. She's always been understanding and supportive, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth experience for both our children and us.
Perhaps one of the best indicators of her excellence is the joy and excitement our children expresses whenever we drop them off at her place. Seeing our little ones so happy and eager to spend time with their childminder is truly heartwarming and confirms that we made the best decision entrusting our children to her care.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend our childminder to any parent seeking a loving, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their child. She is not just a childminder but an exceptional caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure the happiness, safety, and development of the children in her care. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and she has become an integral part of our children's early years, providing a strong foundation for their growth and well-being. Thank you for everything you do!

Home from home

This will always be a home from home for my daughter because she's safe, loved and well taken care of. Dianne has made my experience of first time parenting more relaxed because from the first meeting she had a warm, calming energy. My child enjoys her days full of activities, learning and outdoor play which I appreciate seeing through pictures. We have also had a smoother transition to potty training and school with Dianne's help, communication and advice. I'm grateful for the support and kindness given over the few years to me and my child
