Exceptionally brilliant!

5 stars

Dawnie has cared for Connor since he was 10 months old. It is so hard handing your baby to someone you barely know and leaving them there which is why it is so important to have someone that you can see will do their Upmost you keep your child safe, happy and cared for!
We went to visit dawn and she immediately asked to hold our baby, she involved him in all our communication and we felt at ease with her.
Connor has now been going to dawn for almost 2 years. She puts lots of effort into planning exciting activities for the children, ensuring she is keeping in with Early years frameworks and governmental guidance.
She gives feedback and has lots of passion and commitment to her work, evident in her communication with parents.
We are so pleased we found dawn, our boy loves going there, he has thrived in this childcare setting and We don’t know what We would have done without Dawn. Dawn has worked all through the global pandemic of coronavirus and supported parents who are key workers also and has been adaptable and flexible in her hours to suit our childcare needs. Thank you Dawn for working alongside us and supporting us in our journeys as first time parents.

5 stars

My son started going to Dawn from 14months and he’s still there.Dawn has being a blessing to us, because I wasn’t sure about him going to a childminder.
But Dawn made the transition so easy and successful.My son absolutely adores her,just the mention of her name(Dawnie) puts a smile on his face.He can’t wait to get in when I drop him off.He enjoys all the lovely activities and his music!
I will definitely recommend Dawn.

Dawn is a wonderful lady who has taught my daughter so many things ie: colours , numbers , singing nursery rhymes fluently, animals , shapes you name it .

My daughter adores her!!

I would recommend absolutely anyone who needs a childminder to look up little diamonds .

Everyday without a doubt my daughter comes home telling me how great her day was and that she misses dawn already. ( it’s been 5 minutes 😂 )

Thank you dawn for everything you have done !

We appreciate you ♥️

Best childminder in the area

5 stars

Dawn is an excellent childminder. She cared for my son back in 2014-15. She then started caring for my youngest daughter in 2017-2019. Both kids loved spending time with her.

Dawnie, as the kids know her, spends lots of time doing outdoor activities. Going to the park, exploring in the woods, picnics, playing in the garden and wooden playhouse.
She goes to soft play with other Childminder’s, meaning the kids all get to know one another.
As a regular visitor to the library, the children get to experience a wide range of books, as well as attending music time.
A rundown of the days plans at handover in the morning, and a few photos throughout the day keeping you informed as to what’s happened in the day.

I would recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a childminder.

Hi Sarah,
Thankyou so much for your very kind review.
I have truely enjoyed working in partnership with you over the years and caring for both of your youngest children.
I have loved sharing all of Charlotte's achievements with you and I know she as a very bright future ahead of her.
Charlotte always strives to achieve in all seven areas of learning, she always shows great strength and determination.
I am going to miss many things about Charlotte , but I think the main ones will be hearing Charlotte leading the children and helping them to participate in our nursery rhymes.
Hearing Charlotte singing and watching her doing the movements to our songs always brought a smile to my face.
I would also like to say a very big THANKYOU to you Sarah for being a fantastic mother in helping me to bring the best out of your beautiful children.
I am going to miss you all.
Best wishes to a beautiful family.

Hi Nadia,
Thankyou so much for your kind review.
I have cared for Essa since he was eight months old and have seen him grow from this little cute baby to a lovely young boy.
Essa brings joy and happiness to all around, and he loves to participate in all activities.
I have really enjoyed sharing all of Essa's achievements with his mummy and I am so grateful to be continuing on with Essa's journey.
I am going to miss many things about my beautiful shining star but I think mostly it will be not hearing Essa singing his favourite nursery rhyme song.
Five little ducks went swimming one day ........ he sings this every day. Lol
Being a childminder brings many rewards but it also brings challenges the hardest one is when it's time for a new chapter to begin in a child's life.
Though the years I have shared many emotions but I think the hardest one is saying goodbye.
I will be planning some amazing adventures ready for when Essa comes back in the school holidays.
Bless You.

Will definitely recommend her to anyone

Eden has been in Dawnie care since she was 9months. She always looked forward to going to her care and the great outdoor activities that she has planned for the kids every week.Dawn has great communication skills with the chIldren in her care and treats each child like her own. Her flexibility makes it possible to work different shifts pattern and am always rest assured that my child is in the best of care. Thank you for having Eden for close to 4years now. She will miss you a great deal.

Hi Syreeta,
I would like to say a big THANKYOU for your kind review.
Over the four years that I have cared for Eden I have seen her grow from a little bud in to a beautiful flower.
What I see is seven petals on this beautiful flower which represent all seven areas of the EYFS.
Eden is a strong, independent child who wants to learn and she always over comes any challenges set in the EYFS.
Eden is a very kind and caring little flower who will always bring a smile to your face through her achievements.
I have really loved sharing Eden's learning and development achievements and also working in partnership with Eden's parents and I am looking forward to continuing to help my little flower flourish.
Eden you are a bright and beautiful flower and I know you have a lot more to give and I am so looking forward to sharing that journey with you and your parents.
Bless you.

Without doubt the best around

5 stars

Dawn has had Ruby since 2015 after I moved her from a large nursery. I wanted the personal care and attention and this is exactly what Dawn gave Ruby.

She is excellent with the children and always has some great things planned to do such as outings and also creative ideas for their learning.

Dawn is very accommodating and flexible and always strives to help where she can.

Dawn approaches everyone with the same welcoming attitude and the children she looks after genuinely love her and look forward to spending time with her.

Ruby will certainly miss Dawnie when she goes to school.

Hi Jo,
I would just like to say a big THANKYOU for your kind review.
Ruby as gone from strength to strength in her time with me and I know she as a very bright future ahead of her.
Ruby is one of the brightest children I have had in my setting and she as so much enthusiasm to learn. She always wants to help and shows great interest in all areas of learning.
I am truly going to miss my little bright star but I am looking forward to hearing about her future achievements.
I can honestly say over the last three years I have enjoyed working in partnership with ruby's parents.
I have great passion, drive and commitment to being the best that I can be and when I see a child continually achieving that gives me great pleasure in knowing I'm bringing the best out of that child.
As ruby would say
Clever girls go to that big school don't they Dawnie?
Start saving Jo.
Thankyou for choosing me to care for your beautiful daughter, It as been a pleasure.

Brilliant

5 stars

Dawn has been brilliant with my little one. He has had a wonderful few years and is ready for his transition into preschool. Dawn has been incredibly flexible around my shifts and any last minute changes and has always kept my little one busy. He loves telling what he's been doing all day on the drive home. She's very friendly, caring and helpful I would recommend her. :)

Wonderful

5 stars

Dawn has been a massive help and a wonderful friend to my 6yro. Even after a change in circumstances he still asks after her and wants to see her which tells me he had fun with her and felt safe.
Very flexible and always willing to go the extra mile to help, I'd recommend her to anyone looking for reliable child care.

Not just a childminder...

5 stars

Dawn has been looking after our little boy from 9months to 2years and I couldn't have wished him to go to a better childminder than dawn!
He's been on day trips throughout Derbyshire, she takes the children out and about each week and it's somewhere different inside or outdoors depending on the weather!
Without her I wouldn't have been able to work, the hours I do being in retail hours change sometimes and dawn is so compliant to change and suit she has become a great friend now.
We definitely feel lucky our son had dawn in his life to help him with all of his development and are so proud of him and very thankful for everything she has done the last year and half.
