Andrea

Outstanding

Andrea is a fantastic childminder. We have seen our daughter blossom in her care. She is inclusive in the range of structured and unstructured activities that she provides and also mindful of the diversity of the group. She is a great person who truly cares about the welfare of each child and their overall individual development both socially and in relation to key milestones. I recommend her services regularly to family and friends.

Amazing and supportive

Where do I even begin to explain how amazing and supportive Andrea is?! Andrea goes above and beyond to make sure all children in her setting are happy and well supported and that extends to their family as well. As parents we have been fully listened to and supported throughout. Andrea has shown a great understanding and acceptance of SEN which has been a refreshing experience- through this she has got to know and understand my children and their needs.
Andrea has many fun days planned often involving outings to the farm, woods and sea life centre. Andrea keeps you updated throughout the day with pictures and comments on what the children have been up to and always finds a way to engage each child.

Amazing childminder

Andrea has been wonderful with my granddaughter. She’s patient and affectionate with her. She takes the children out and about most days. We get photo updates every day she’s there. She cares about the children and their well-being. I highly recommend her. We couldn’t have got anyone better.

Thankyou 💖 I absolutely adore her x

The best childminder and a great person

Andrea was the second childminder we tried for our baby girl. The first one was not great at all, my baby was crying non stop and I couldn't continue like that. After we saw Andrea one time and we talked, the next time we met my baby went straight to her with no crying and no complain. I was very surprised. Over the next months spent there my baby made friends and she couldn't wait to go to Andrea every single day. She was a happy baby.
Andrea takes them out almost every day, to the farms, beach, aquarium. If we didn't have to move I would have stayed with her until my baby was ready to go to school. Even if we found a good childminder after we left Andrea, I still think she is the best childminder a parent would want to look after their babies. She is a great person who cares and gets involved in your child development. The communication is great and she puts your mind at ease every day because she understands that every parent is worried for their little ones. I recommend her to every parent out there!

Excellent childminder and amazing lady.

Andrea is a huge part of not just our little girls life but ours too. She has been amazing in helping her to grow as a person. We couldn’t be happier with the help Andrea provides, they are always busy from classes to trips out and lots of arts and craft at home. Our daughter has such a special bond with not just Andrea but also her little friends there to they are like a mini family to her and she is always talking about them. We honestly couldn’t fault a single thing and recently just upped our care from 1.5 days to 2.5 days a week. We love getting updates through out the day from Andrea and we also get a daily diary at the end of each day with break down on what she’s eaten throughout the day, how many wet and solid nappies she’s had and when she sleeps. Everything they do is key in their development and learning of new things from new foods to words and activities. She is Currently working with us to get rid of the dummy and to be honest couldn’t have done it without her. If you are looking for a kind caring and home from home childminder it hands down has to Andrea.

Thankyou, you are all part of our family. X

profession, caring , every mums perfect help

my family cared for my daughter. at the time 10 months old . I was looking for a new c/m and was recommended to speak to andrea. we met and everything was so relaxed yet so professional. we went through everything ie paperwork and I was shown what they do on a daily basis. my daughter started there for just 5.5 hrs on a Monday and after 1 month we increased to 9.5hrs. she has really settled in and andrea is always at the end of a phone if I need advice etc. we are working atm on raines next steps and also with her allergies. baby days (baby app diary) is updated every raine attends and we see where they have been with photos etc. my daughter is due to start nursery in Oct 2017 as she turns 2 and I would like her to go there 3 days a week so I can work but because of how andrea is we have decided to keep raine with her on the mondays and use the nursery the other 2 days. we would have used andrea for all 3 but avability is sadly not there because of how great she is. highly highly recommended. a true person who deserves so much reconigition.

Thankyou.

Excellent childcare

Andrea has been taking care of William for 18months. He loves going to Andrea. He has made some lovely little friends at the various clubs and activity centres they attend as well as with the other children Andrea cares for including her own little boy Oliver.
We are very happy with Williams development, he speaks so well everyone comments and he is above average on the offsted charts and a lot of that is thanks to Andrea.
Fun packed days, learning and great food = a happy William and grateful parents.
Would highly recommend.

Excellent

My children have been placed with Andrea since September 2015. Andrea is a wonderful childminder, a credit to her profession. Andrea is kind, caring, accommodating & I would highly recommend Andrea to any parent looking for childcare. Andrea is always doing learning activities with my children which she changes regularly to encourage their development & stimulation. I have regular updates throughout the day of how my children are, what activities they are doing, how they are eating & lovely photos of them taking part in their activities. Andrea prepares fresh healthy food & snacks for the children whenever they are in her care & Andrea informs me of the food consumed throughout the day. Andrea arranges exciting interesting activities for the children throughout the school holidays accomodating all age groups throughout the school holidays. Andrea is very approachable. Nothing is too much trouble. If you are looking for a kind and caring childminder that would treat your child as you would care & treat them yourselves please look no further.
