BeTots Childminding's Reviews

5 out of 5 stars

Our little boy has been with BeTots since May 2016. I couldn't ask for a better place for him to be cared for. Noah loves playing with the other children which has helped his social skills as well as his speech. He always tells me about his exciting day (He is only 2 1/2 ;) ) he had at BeTots.
Bernie and Tom are very kind, understanding and flexible. We are so happy with our choice of BeTots for Noahs childcare. They go on a lot of outings with the children and make sure there is always something to do for the kiddies.

Would definitely recommend BeTots!!! x

Thank you for your review Saskia, we love taking care of Noie!x

BeTots

My little boy has been with Bernie since March and during that time he's flourished from being very shy to a little chatterbox! He loves going to Bernie's and playing with the other children there as well as taking part in all the activities. Bernie takes the children on lots of outings and they're constantly kept busy, which he loves.

We've had a difficult few months as a family and Bernie has been there to support us every step of the way. It's definitely a home away from home setting and I would not hesitate recommending Bernie and BeTots!

Thank you Becky for your review. Yes Ben is certainly flourishing

Very helpful and hands on!

Our daughter Carrie was with Be Tots for just over a month, unfortunately we realised we needed to find someone a lot closer to home and able to do a school run for our other daughter.

During her short time at Be Tots we found Bernie and Tara very flexible, kind and got Carrie to ditch her nappies during the day- confident in using the toilet, extremely grateful for their encouragement with this.

We wish the circumstances were different as Carrie enjoyed getting involved with a wide range of activities and going on day trips.

I'm sure you will be just as happy with the new child minder and no more travelling in the rain!

brilliant x

I can not imagine better childcare than BeTots!! Bernie and Tom are truly lovely people - from the day one we have this feeling, they are the right people to which we can leave our two sons! Very friendly, active house - boys are love to be there! English is our second language - our oldest son didn't know a lot english words, but after few weeks he knew a lot! Both boys lerning a lot at BeTots! :) x

Bernie and Tom

My daughter has been cared for by bernie and Tom since we moved to the area - January 2013.

Bernie and Tom are warm, friendly, genuine and honest and my daughter has thrived under their care! The atmosphere is relaxed and fun.

From helping my daughter learn her numbers, to arts and crafts activities, to going out and about, to parks and play groups .... There is never a dull moment! They have encouraged my daughter socially, helping her understand health and safety, manners and how to interact with the other children.

In addition to helping neve, they've also been incredibly flexible and helpful in accommodating our childcare needs ... They've allowed us to have flexible hours as I adapted to the hours of my new job as well as helping with picking up and dropping off my daughter when we had car probs.

I am sooooo happy to have found bernie and Tom and feel lucky and relieved to know I can rely on them to continue to care for my daughter as she starts school in September.

Bernie and Tom ... Thank you!

Its a pleasure to look after Neve, she's a credit 2u both!

Bernie & Tom

My 3 year old son has been with Bernie & Tom for almost 3 months. They take a real interest in each individual child and the daily diary is very informative. Henry has grown very attached to them over this short period of time and is made to feel like part of the family, it's lovely seeing Bernie & Tom's children and Granny..there is a very homely environment. They take the children on regular outings from the beach/abbey/strawberry picking or shopping to Peppa Pig World.
I am very happy with the service they provide.

Thanku for giving us the opportunity of taking care of your lovely kids.

Couldn't ask for more!

Bernie and Tom look after my two children, Lilly and Alfie, and we really couldn't ask for more from our childcare.

From the first visit to the house, Lilly (2) settled instantly and loved it. She didn't want to leave when it was time to go!

The children mix with a variety of children of different ages and have built close relationships with all members of the family. The children learn to respect the house rules whilst still enjoying a wide range of activities within the home environment. They also go to the shops, park, walk the dog, toddler groups and even visited a garden centre over Xmas to see the decorations and Christmas scenes.

My children are very happy with Bernie and Tom and it makes me happy as a Mum to see that they are cared for in such a way. Bernie and Tom have also been fantastic friends and support to me when times have been hard and have put themselves out in order to help me.

I really cannot recommend them highly enough. They are very special people with a fantastic amount to offer!

Its a pleasure to look after your PRECIOUS CARGO!x

Very Very Happy!

I have been using Bernie and Tom for my childcare for a short time but in that time they have been great. It's not been an easy process finding a childminder that would accomodate all my childcare needs but they have done their best to work around it all. I have been reassured from day 1 that my children are well looked after and I have seen how much fun they have been having whilst I am at work. Bernie and Tom are very down to earth/friendly/good hearted people that love what they do and that is clear to see. I would highly recommend to anyone :)
