June is an excellent childminder for our three year old son. From the first week he attended he has learnt so much and his abilities with speech, independence, writing, learning, everything has just improved leaps and bounds. He is always full of excited stories about what he gets up to at June's with the other children and is excited to go every morning. He would give her 5 stars if he could!

From a parent point of view, June is equally excellent. She provides frequent updates with photos about what they're doing or where they're going. They go on lots of outings to play groups, the lookout etc. Our son always comes home with something to show off, something crafty or where he's practised tracing letters etc. It is clear that she puts in a lot of time and effort to make sure the children are always learning something whilst having fun and takes times to plan birthday parties or for festivals like Chinese New year, Christmas etc. She takes an active interest in our sons health and wellbeing too. Helping us combat skin conditions, eating issues and the dreaded potty training! You can tell she wants all the children to succeed. We are confident, 100% happy with Kiddiewinks and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

June has looked after my youngest child since he was coming up to his first birthday, he is now nearing 10. June also looked after my older two boys from this point as well. Up until they were in their second year of secondary school. My older two had experienced a mix on nursery and au-pairs up until their little brother came along. So I have a great comparison and there is none ! June is always looking for exciting things for the children to do, to take them out and ensure they play outside wherever possible as well as the early years learning in play and phonics. I could not have been / be happier. June thoroughly deserves her Offstead outstanding certificate and if your reading this trying to decide, go and meet June and see how happy and comfortable the children are in her care.

June has been looking after my son after school for the past 4 years. She has always shown him great care and understanding, and he loves her dearly. She always tries to accommodate extra sessions for us if she has space, and throws birthday parties for the children, which is a lovely touch. I find she goes that extra mile. During term time, she will ensure the children read to her or her sister and will document this in their reading record, and will get them to practice their spellings, if appropriate, but will judge each child's individual needs. The children are kept occupied with arts and crafts, and plentiful outdoor activities. We are very happy with the care and compassion that June provides to our son.

My son has been with June for just over a year - he absolutely loves going to her house every day, and enjoys daily activities! His most favourite time is the play time in her huge garden. He is a very honest boy so I can really tell how much enjoyable time he has been spending at her house. June always pays attentions to details, so for example, she spotted that my son was ready for his toilet training (he was 23 month old at that time). Lots of craft activities as well as outside play and outings. Also he has been learning an excellent manner of speech - the whole family amazed with that! I am really happy with June and my son's progress.

Having looked at a number of nurseries when choosing our Son's childcare, we decided we wanted to go down the Childminder route. At the time he was 11 months old and we really wanted a home from home environment, with more focussed and personable care.

June ticks all these boxes and more. Her home, and particularly the huge garden, is the perfect place for children to grow and learn.

Our son has been with June for nearly a year now and we have found June to be instrumental to his development. He is becoming a very confident boy and genuinely enjoys his time with June and the other children.

Knowing our little boy is so happy with June makes it much easier to leave him - and ensures we never worry.

June comes highly recommended.

June has been looking after both my girls for almost 7 months and I cannot rate her highly enough. My youngest was only 6 months old when she started and she has developed brilliantly. My eldest is 5 and her confidence has come on hugely. June has a naturally caring nature and both my girls absolutely adore her. She has a lovely home setting and the most amazing garden. The children take part in a huge range of activities each day and she takes them out to various toddler groups. I also love the daily emails with pictures showing what they have been doing. I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend June she is fabulous!

Both of my children have been cared for by June from young babies to starting school. As my youngest is going into reception, we are saying farewell to June, it's the end of an era. I have always found June to be professional and caring, she has gone out of her way at times to help me in a crisis. My children have always been happy to be left in her care, and will always remember her fondly. June has helped them to grow and learn, given them new experiences and offered them a fun and engaging environment in which they feel safe and happy. I can't thank June and her family enough for their care of my girls, they will miss you all lots.

my child amelia has been attending June's for the past 4 months now. she absolutely loves June and is such a happy girl when I pick her up. I believe her hand to eye skills have come on tremendously since attending June's. she's also made wonderful friends which I believe is great for her development! Amelia attending June's has put my mind to rest while I return back to work after my maternity leave. I couldn't ask for a kinder person to look after my daughter and highly recommended her to mums and dads for the future. thank you Nicole

I have been sending my son to June since September this year.
She is such a lovely person and the childcare she gives to my boy is outstanding, I couldn't ask for anything more.
This was the first time I have left my baby since going back to work and I was nervous about leaving him, but when I went to collect him he was really happy and all the other children she has there are really happy too. I don't have a problem dropping my son off in the morning he goes straight to June at the front door and smiles when he sees her.
I would recommend June to any of my friends and family.
My baby has reflux and June is very good at managing this and letting me know if he's had a bad day also I get a daily card sheet with everything that my son has eaten, pooped & slept.
She does a lot of activities with the children including baby groups, arts and crafts, reading, garden play and I get photos sent to me via email with what he's been doing which is really good to see.

My son went to June's at 6 months old and settled in very quickly. June was extremely welcoming and reassuring and as a first time mum I was very nervous at leaving him at such a young age however I had need no need to worry. June gives us daily updates for his food, naps and nappies so we always know how he's doing. In addition we get months updates on how his progressing with rolling, sitting, walking and learning etc. Oliver has made so much progress since being with June, and we love the way he's so happy to see her every day. June genuinely cares for her mindees and I'm extremely happy with the way in which she looks after oliver.
