Storm's Reviews

We couldn't have been happier with Storm

Our daughter, who has just turned three, was with Storm two days a week for nine months (in nursery the other days, and we are only leaving now because we need to take up a full-time nursery place so as not to loose it).

Our experience with Storm could not have been better. Storm is warm, loving, effective, and hugely capable. Our daughter loves her to bits. She is very clear and calm with the children. The whole set up is incredibly well thought through. This includes her beautiful and spotless house and garden, car seats, colour-coded flannels, cups, tooth brushes, lovely home-cooked meals, pictures of the children's families on the play room walls, as well as clear rules that even the children find perfectly sensible and appreciate as reassuring. She is very good about giving each child what they need and creating a lovely dynamic between them. I don't know how she does it--her setting is a haven of calm even with three or four little ones around! Communication has always been great, flexible, quick, and generous. It was impressive also how quickly and creatively she responded to even fleeting mentions about a new interest or skill of our daughter's.

In sum, we've been hugely grateful to have Storm look after our little one (and even our five-year olds for a couple of days during the summer), and for being able to have complete trust that our kids were in the best possible hands. We recommend her in the highest possible terms. Thank you, Storm!

Wonderful and much more than 5 STARS Childminder

Our child has been with Storm for a year now and we could not have dream a better childminder for him.
She is cooking wonderful food that our child loves.
She is doing a lot of activities with the kids : they are going to the farm, to pool party in summer, to the zoo, to kew garden, to museums...
She is adapting the day following the child mood.
She definitely loves children and her family is keen on children too.
Every morning we leave our child their, we know he will have a great day looking at the fish, playing in the toy room or running into the garden.
We fully recommend Storm for all children !!!

Wonderful Childminder

Really and truly the best childminder we could have asked for. Mabel was settled in with time and care and when we did come to leave her for the first time she was quite happy. I've never worried once about my daughter in Storms care-she is always stimulated with interesting activities, adventures and play. Plenty of attention was paid to her individual needs and I noticed how much she grew in confidence and ability during her time there.
We always had a detailed daily diary written by Storm, which was such a thrill to read at the end of the day to see all she had been up to! She also had a detailed assessment of her ability at the beginning and end of her time there.
Mabel was always given nutritious, and well planned meals and snacks.
It has been a real wrench to leave - sadly we left the area.
Could not recommend highly enough if you're looking for a place for your child.
