Elaine is brilliant, youngest has just started going with Elaine, she's usually shy and won't go to others but been absolutely brilliant. Elaine keeps me updated throughout the day and never had any issues. Elaine looked after my other 2 children up until school age and she was brilliant, girls love her to bits and still go for cuddles when they see her at school!
Highly recommended and wouldn't trust anyone else.

thanks very much for your lovely words shes a little superstar..takes after her big sisters ..lovely family ive had the pleasure to work with for years ❤️
Our little girl has been visiting Elaine's twice a week for the past few months, during these months she has come on leaps and bounds with her confidence and communication skills. Elaine provides a clean, safe, educational environment full of fun! I recieve updates throughout the day of what our little one is up to and she always has a smile on her face. My little girls has done a wide range of activities in a short space of time including making crowns for the queens jubilee and visiting the ducks at the park for a picnic. Elaine has 2 rooms that the children can explore with more toys than I have ever seen and is also able to offer a space for naps. Elaine is flexible and tries to follow routine. My little girl also leaves clean and happy. Elaine herself is an enthusiastic, kind, knowledgable person, who I have 100% trust in. I wouldnt want my little girl to go anywhere else.

thanks Rachel for your lovely feedback she is a lovely little girl ..hilarious and always smiling ..love her ❤️
My little boy has been going to Elaine since he was 12 months old, he is now 18 months old and absolutely loves going. His development with talking and communication has come along so much since visiting Elaine. She makes him feel welcome and at home aswell as putting me at ease leaving him in her care. Would recommend Elaine to all parents who are looking for childcare as she provides a 10/10 service.

thanks so much Alice .Arthur is amazing and so funny and an absolute pleasure to look after ❤️
Elaine is absolutely fantastic childminder, my daughter who is 14 months old loves her so much. She has settled very quickly. Every morning once she see's Elaine she runs to her. Elaine is loving and caring while remaining professional at the same time. She keeeps us updated with a diary of what she's been up to during the day and sends us pictures via WhatsApp.
We are so lucky to have her.
I highly recommended Elaine to everyone but be aware that your kids might not want to come home with you when you pick them up:)

Thank you so much Lisa for your very kind review Sara is an absolute pleasure to look after..so funny..love her 😍
I found Elaine when I needed a childminder who could collect from my daughters school. She worked with me at the last minute to arrange the days and times I needed, and my daughter absolutely loves going! She has varied, nutritionally balanced meals, and a huge variety of toys for all ages!
I would definitely recommend Elaine to anyone who needs a local childminder !
