My little boy has been going to Diana since he was 6 months old and has now been going for 4 years. Diana provides a home to home setting and treats all the children as if they were her own. My little boy always loves going to Diana’s and is always excited to see what toys she has out or what trips she has planned for the day. I love hearing about their days at the farm, the park, the woods or soft play.
Diana also does so many lovely activities for Mother’s Day, Easter, Christmas etc but also encourages learning, I.e counting and letters.
My little boy has made some really lovely friends at Diana’s. We would definitely recommend Diana to any parent seeking a homely childminder.

My little girl has been with Diana for nearly 3 years now, she loves to go to Diana's to play with Diana and all her friends there.
My little girl surely considers Diana as family and it is clear Diana adores her so it's really lovely to have that bond. Diana is warm, friendly and welcoming and takes the children out regularly for wonderful days out and activities.
I would not hesitate to recommend Diana to any parent looking for a childminder, you will not be disappointed.

Diana has had Billy for 3 years and everyday he cannot wait to go! Diana focuses on his particular needs and interests and is always encouraging development through new and exciting ways. Each day there is a new activity for him to be involved in which is tailored to his needs and I’m sent pictures of their daily adventures so we can talk about his day when I pick him up!
Diana’s home is a welcoming, loving and safe environment which Billy feels completely at home in, this is exactly the setting we wished for. Diana is friendly, fun and just a lovely person to be around who we all consider part of our family, each day we are greeted with a smile and Billy leaves with a smile, we highly recommended Diana!

Our children (2 & 4) have been at Diana's setting since last year and have come on leaps and bounds especially after having been unsettled due to the breaks in childcare as a result of the pandemic. Diana is a loving, warm and caring childminder and her home has become a home from home for the children. She does a wide range of activities and is an excellent teacher. She puts in a lot of time and effort into these activities and we are sent photo updates throughout the day showing us what the kids have been up to. Lots of crafts, baking, outdoor activities and fresh air. Diana has recently installed a children's pirate ship play area in her garden which the children love! She has really put in the time to focus on anything that the children need development on e.g my youngest's fine motor skills. Diana is very friendly and a lovely person and has been extremely flexible with us. We would highly recommend her as a childminder.
