Lovely place

5 stars

I went to visit Vickys looking for a childminder. As I cycle itโ€™s too far for me. But she was really helpful suggesting other options, the kids looked happy, and sheโ€™s put in place really nice outside space under cover for the kids. So I thought Iโ€™d share my experience. Hope itโ€™s helpful.

Thank you ever so much Claire ๐Ÿ˜Šwas lovely to meet you and always happy to help x

Highly recommend without hesitation!

5 stars

Cosytoes is a fantastic childcare setting. Our son (aged 10) attends in the morning prior to school and our daughter (aged 2) attends 3 full days a week. The environment at Cosytoes is warm and welcoming. Both our children settled really quickly when they joined and enjoy the structure and routine that Vicky has in place for them. It is without hesitation that we would recommend Cosytoes to others. Both the children adore Vicky and her enthusiasm and dedication to the needs of individual children is clearly visible. She knows our children incredibly well, picks up on her change of mood/any illness and is quick to inform us of anything she notices, this is reassuring as a parent and we are very grateful for this. Her house is welcoming as are her children!

Excellent childminder who we'd highly recommend!

5 stars

Vicky is a wonderful childminder who we would highly recommend. Her welcoming home from home environment is perfect for our little girl and we enjoy receiving lots of updates and photos throughout the week! She provides wonderful activities daily both indoors and outdoors and our little girl's confidence, communication and interaction skills have come on leaps with Vicky's support. My little girl is always very keen to close Vicky's front door at drop off as she is in such a hurry to start her day with Vicky and the other children!! Would recommend without any hesitation. Thanks Vicky!

Highly recommended home from home.

5 stars

A warm, fun-filled and engaging environment where children form strong friendships with each other. Vicky provides a range of educational activities suitable for all ages and is excellent at supporting preschoolers as they transition to school. Goes above and beyond with parties, trips to the theatre, soft play, trampoline parks and cinema. A fabulous outdoor space with regular trips to parks and into nature. The holiday club is fantastic for school-age children too.
