We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care our son received from Hayley. Our little boy is full of energy and is extremely busy From day one, Hayley made us feel so comfortable and at ease, choosing a childminder is so hard but we knew we got it right as our son loved every moment spent with her. Hayley is professional, warm and kind. Our son learnt so much and always looked forward to spending time with her. We feel so lucky to have found such a reliable, caring childminder, and we can’t thank Hayley enough for all the love and support she provided. Highly recommend!

Hayley looked after my youngest daughter for two years, from when she was just nine months old, and she also did some before/after school care for my eldest in Reception/Year 1.
Both of them loved going! It was always a relief knowing that they were happy and well looked after. Hayley frequently took the little ones out to the park, local farm and soft play so they always had plenty to do.
Now that my youngest is ready for nursery, we're sad to be leaving. Hayley is also so responsive and friendly to deal with. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a lovely, caring childminder!

Thank you so much x
“Hayley is like sunshine she make me happy” - is what my 3 year old said! Fern has been to Hayley since she was 6 months old. When I asked her what’s the best thing about going to Hayley’s she said ‘its the cuddles’. We have been very happy with the love and kindness Hayley has shown Fern and our family. She is extremely reliable and flexible to meet our needs and we would fully recommend her to anyone. Fern is looking forward to continuing to see Hayley for babysitting.

Such kind words, thank you. Will miss you all, but so happy I will still see you for babysitting
My daughter had been with Hayley from 9months till just before her 2nd birthday. Hayley has been such an integral part of my daughter life and really has helped her grow into the little human she is now. She walks into Hayley’s with confidence and also completely comfortable that she doesn’t even need to say bye to her Mum. The fun they must have every time she is there is great. The pictures and updates through the day are lovely. Hayley also takes the time to know your child and understand them like you would. I can not thank Hayley enough for what she has done for Charlotte and allowed her to find herself. It has also been great for Charlotte that she has been around other children from such a young age. It has brought on her milestones so quickly but I know that Hayley has supported that also. Hayley, is friendly, supportive and just he neatly a lovely person. Her setting is really lovely because it is her home. It is safe for the kids and lots of toys to play with but she also make it just like home for the kids.

Thank you so much. Charlotte will be really missed. She is always so happy and was a joy to look after. Good luck at nursery and keep in touch x
We absolutely love Hayley. Our daughter joined Hayley when she was 1.5 years old and has only just left due to starting school this September.
Hayley is trust worthy, always sending me updates and filling me in on the day they have had. She is always creative with the children, takes them to the park, for walks, soft play and group (when it is on). They also get the comfort home from home.
Our daughter has gained so much confidence, has made friends and has learnt lots of things each week. We did combine nursery and Hayley from 2.5 years onwards and she was so flexible.
We can't recommend Hayley enough :)

We found Hayley after things didn’t work out with another childminder during the pandemic. Our son has speech and language delay and can struggle with social interaction with children his own age. Hayley has showed our son such patience and kindness, even supported us with SALT assessing him. He loved going to Hayley’s and he has come along soo much - we’re extremely grateful and she will be dearly missed.

Hayey has been fab! She always considered my sons needs and ensured he napped and ate when he needed to. She always took him out to ensure he was stimulated through play, soft play parks, walks, visits to groups or other childminders house my son was so happy there and I highly recommend hayley. I felt so comfortable knowing how happy he was there:)

My daughter Mia has just left Hayley after being with her for 18 months. Mia absolutely loved her time with Hayley and built a great relationship with her. Hayley clearly has genuine love for the children in her care which meant as a parent I never needed to worry which was hugely important. Mia was often taken on days out to the farm or soft play and to all sorts of baby/toddler groups. Hayley always took into consideration what routine Mia was in and whether she needed extra sleep or no sleep and always managed to carry out our asks. Hayley also offered a lot of advise on anything discussed and was a big help with potty training. Hayley was brilliant all round, we were sad to leave her but will definitely be using her again for the next one!

Hayley has been looking after my 4 year old since he was around 10 months old. She has been fab in all areas and has been very realible . Every week Bradley has come home with pictures he's done or little things he's made. Recently he's seen a magician, and held some snakes and lizards as part of a day out. Bradley is now leaving for school and we will miss her so much! We can highly recommend Hayley xx

Thanks Marie, thats lovely. We will all miss Bradley too but look forward to seeing him in the holidays. Good luck at school Bradley xx
Both of our daughters have been with Hayley since they were 10 months old they are now 4 and a half and 2 and a half.
We could not want for a better childminder to look after our children whilst we are at work.
Both girls settled in very quickly due to Hayleys caring nature, positivity and experience.
Hayley can be very flexible with her hours and on the odd emergency or appointment has been able to have the girls at short notice.
The girls are always happy knowing they have a 'Hayley day' and we feel very relaxed with the care they receive.
All in all a fantastic childminder highly recommended.

My husband and I are extremely pleased with our sons progress since Hayley has taken over his day to day needs. He seems very happy and comfortable with her. Hayden's speech has come on in leaps and bounds & Hayley spends a lot of time helping him with colors and numbers.
Hayley also takes him out to various places and keeps him very active. His social skills have developed well as he joins in with many childminding groups and interacts with many other children.
We would have no problem recommending Hayley to others, she is kind, gentle & loving towards all the children in her care.

When I was looking for a childminder for Ella I wanted someone who would not only provide a safe & secure environment in which to leave her but also spend time involving her in games & activities which would keep her engaged and help her learn new things. Ella has been with Hayley since she was in nappies... she’s now 7! This reflects how happy both she and I are with Hayley. You could not ask for somebody more caring, helpful and who goes out of her way to help you and your child. If ever I am late back from work, Hayley will keep Ella safe until I can collect her. Ella has a wonderful time at Hayley’s house and always comes home with a smile on her face and tells me about all the things she has done and what fun she’s had. Thank you so much for having Ella, Hayley, you always go above and beyond my expectations of a childminder. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

Hayley looked after our 6 year old for 3 hours a day for a year and has also helped us out with inset days and occasional babysitting. Hayley is a lovely and genuinely warm person with huge childcare experience, and more importantly the kids all seem to really like her too. Our son always enjoyed his time with Hayley and was disappointed when my wife was made redundant and we no longer needed Hayley's help. If anyone is looking for childcare in the area, I can't recommend Hayley highly enough. 10/10
