Fantastic, caring, knowledgable

5 stars

My daughter is child-minded by Donna she absolutely loves going, she is treated like part of the family. Throughout COVID-19 she was made to feel extremely safe and well cared for which made the whole experience much easier as a parent. I can’t speak highly enough of the way in which is cared for and the activities she does.
The children go on outings meet up with other childminders and have a lovely community feel.
