Taís has been with Diana for about 5 months and tais’s communication has improved a lot. Diana is understanding and caring and always ensuring that Taís is succeeding. Diana also makes sure that the kids get along and support one another. No compliments , simply the greatest!!!

Thank you for your review.
I would just like to say that your daughter is making excellent progress,she is very confident and is very caring with the other children.
I am very happy with her progress and she is a credit to you.
Diana deserves a solid 5-star rating for her exceptional child minding services. Her efforts have led to my son happily exploring a variety of foods, and his enthusiastic days with her are a testament to their strong bond. I highly recommend her nurturing care to anyone seeking an outstanding child minder

Thank you very much for taking the time to learn a review.
your son has really come out of his shell.
He is very happy on arrival and is making excellent progress.
He is interacting with other children and will take part in song and dance.
His a real pleasure to have and he is such a happy little boy.
Thank you.
Diana had been a huge blessing to our family. We needed part-time, short-term childcare for our 2 year old son. After searching high and low, we met Diana and our son settled almost immediately. She invests heavily into her home to ensure it's fun and well suited to the children. She has been incredibly flexible and our son has always been happy to be dropped off at hers.

We feel extremely fortunate to have found Diana. She’s been looking after our 17 months old son since January 2022 and he truly loves going there every morning. Diana has plenty of experience as a childminder and you can tell she enjoys looking after kids. She has a lovely setting space with everything a child would need to learn and play. We highly recommend Diana.

Your child is making excellent progress
His a very fast leaner and his always very happy.
His a absolute delightful little boy and he really loves music time and he is very sociable .
He is a real GEM
Words cannot express, how happy I am with Mrs. Diana’s service. She is not only very professional, but also loving and understanding person. My son loves to come to her house and play, which is to me best proof, how great he is doing in her care.
