Beth has been amazing with our daughter. She settled in so quickly and absolutely loves spending the day with Beth.

There’s always something fun going on - whether it’s crafts, playing outside or just having a good laugh, my daughter always comes home happy and full of stories about her day.

We get little updates and pictures regularly which are always so lovely to see.

Our daughter absolutely loves being with Beth and the other children. We feel very lucky to have found Beth and will be sad to see her leave.

Beth has cared for my son since he was 9 months old, so a little over 2 years now. Beth’s setting is a home from home for Zac and her family is his second family.
Beth’s home is warm and welcoming and well equipped for children of all ages. She has a fantastic range of toys and activities for the children on a daily basis. Beth gets out with the children everyday whether that be to the local park, zoo, farm or baby/toddler groups.
My son has thrived with Beth from becoming a curious baby to a happy confident toddler.
I trust her whole heartedly and would recommend her to any parent looking for an amazing childminder. We are so sad to see Beth leaving our area as we will miss her so much. But I cannot thank her enough for the love and care she has provided my little boy.

Our daughter Rose has been with Beth for nearly 5 months and has such a brilliant time with Beth. They are out and about and engaged with activities throughout the day. Helping the children's creativity and confidence grow. Beth has also been a huge support to me with any questions I might have when needing a second opinion. All round she second to none and sets example of what a childminder really should be. Thank you for everything.
