Amazing childminder

From the moment we met, Danielle put us at ease with her kind, trustworthy, professional manner. Our son really enjoyed his time at Danielle's setting and was always keen to go back there in the morning. He especially enjoyed playing with other children and going for everyday walks. Danielle planned activities for him, gave him lunch, and kept us up to date throughout the day with what he was doing. We have had a lot of experience with childminders over the years and Danielle is one of the best. We are sad seeing her move out of the area and wish her all the best.

Fabulous childminder!

Our daughter has been with Danielle for 2 years now and she loves it! She always asks if she can go and visit, even on the weekends.

Danielle and her family are all very welcoming and make all of the children feel loved and understood. The weekly plans are lovely and include a good mix of indoor and outdoor activities, lots of park and toddler group visits.

Danielle encourages the children to be independent whenever possible and works from each child's own starting point to help them develop as individuals. She is happy to listen to both parents and the children themselves about what they might like to learn and do each week.

We cannot thank her enough for all that she does and are very sad to be leaving due to relocation.

Excellent childminder

Danielle has been our Childminder for approximately 2 years. She has really set the benchmark for what I would class a good childminder.

I have seen my son flourish from a toddler into a very confident school ready little boy.

Danielle is clearly very dedicated to her work and spend a lot of her own time planning activities for the children to partake in. Danielle definitely enables and encourages learning through play and positive experiences.

My son comes home happy and fulfilled every day and I feel totally secure that Danielle has his best interest at heart.

Danielle's own children are a true asset to her and gel really well the minded children.

Although my son has now started primary school we will definitely be gracing her doorstep for school holidays, don't want to lose her and the positive influence she has had on our lives!

Excellent Child minder

My little girl was with Danielle for sometime and always looked forward going there Danielle has a really lovely and gentle manner with all the children in her care. She always seems kind, calm and patient with them. My little girl had the advantage of going to the parks and toddler groups that I would take her too.
I’ve really seen my little girl’s progress in Danielle’s setting. She’s learned more words even saying ‘thank you’ and has started to draw, something I would never have thought of doing with her. Certainly would recommend her without a doubt. She is godsend to us.

Excellent childminder

Danielle was childminder to our 1 year old daughter, 2 days a week from September 2012 until we sadly moved out of the area in December 2012. I cannot praise Danielle highly enough for the care she provided for our daughter during this time, and we were very sad to leave. She is a wonderfully gentle and caring person, as well as being very conscientious about her work. Our daughter always had fun with Danielle, who makes sure she provides the children in her care with developmentally appropriate activities which are both fun and stimulating. Whether it was music, messy play, going for walks, looking at the beautiful fish tank or colourful lights that she has in the setting, or other activities, Tara always had fun with her little friends :) If we ever move back to the area, I will be straight on the phone to find out if she has any availability!
