Chris has looked after both of my daughters at a very challenging time for our family. She has worked really hard to build an amazing relationship with them both and we are so grateful for her support.
We get daily updates so we always know what the girls have been up to and we can see that they have a wonderful time at an amazing range of indoor and outdoor destinations.
At Chrissy’s they do lots of activities and bring home lovely art work for our walls. They eat well and my youngest naps soundly!
I have found Chris very open and warm. She has always been available to talk about the girls and has given me her time above and beyond expectations when I’ve needed assurance. She has also been really flexible and tried to accommodate our requests when we have needed extra help.

Thankyou Essie , we’ve enjoyed getting to know you and your family , watching the girls grow in confidence is the reward we all value x
Our twin daughters have been in Chris’ care for just over a month now and we can safely say that finding her was life changing. She is incredible and the care she provides is second to none. The girls absolutely love her and have the best time when they are with her. It’s like home from home for them. They do so much and are exhausted by the end of the day. They go out every day to some fantastic places and we look forward to seeing what they have been up to as she posts lots of photos throughout the day. The thing that blows us away each week though is how the girls have come on so quickly with particular skills, nurtured by Chris. Their language has already come on leaps and bounds and their motor skills when it comes to feeding themselves is unrecognisable. We followed the BLW route and they were using cutlery before they started with Chris but already their confidence to feed themselves is amazing. If you are thinking you need a childminder that’s brilliant and you want the very best care for your little one, contact Chris, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Chris you are just amazing and we are so grateful to have found you x

Thankyou for trusting us with the girls , they are a credit to you both . We are at the start of our journey together and look forward to making many more memories together
Chris has been my trusted childminder and now good friend for over 5 years. I first met Chris when I needed a childminder for my first born. Chris now looks after child number three for me and I don’t know where we’d be without her. Incredibly kind, hardworking and wise, Chris provides the children with a varied and engaging day. Jack loves the time he spends with Chris and his independence and development is coming on in leaps and bounds. Thank you Chris for all that you do!

Thankyou, having been trusted with all 3 children we’ve been able to follow their journeys . We have enjoyed every moment . Enjoy school x
Since starting in January; Laura has come on leaps and bounds. She loves being with her friends and Chris. Taking Laura to this setting feels like dropping her off with family. Chris even checks up on Laura when she is not at the setting due to illness to see how she is. It’s brilliant that, weather permitting Chris takes all the kids out or if they are indoors they are always doing activities. Laura is always worn out when she comes home. Thank you Chris and all the family x
