I am a working mum of 4 and all my children have been going to Beatrice since they were babies. My eldest is now 11 years old and I’m proud to say that Beatrice is a blessing for me. I never had issues regarding the care my kids received on the contrary, she is very supportive, responsible, kind, respectful, professional and reliable. She works together with me as a parent,by providing a good education to my children. My kids are well taking care of, her standards of care is really great. Her setting is clean and spacious. She works with a few staffs who are well trained and very dedicated. It is the type of setting you will really want your kids to go especially when you are a working parent. Knowing that your kids are in good hand gives you a peace of mind and joy wherever you are. I’m sorry for that parent who gave a bad review I guess you are the first and only person with that opinion. Beatrice is really a great Chilminder, my kids can also say the same as they are really happy being there.

If i could, I would give zero star to this childminder, I left my seven yr old in her care and went to work with an agreement to pick up my son at 7 pm. I came back and discovered she had gone home and left my son in the care of a teenager who could not speak English and could not feedback to me how the day went. I was horrified and wondered what could have happened in emergency since the teenager is not qualified and could not speak English, even my son reported she spoke to him in a foreign language. I confronted Beatrice with this and and she offered no apology but instead asked me to take my son elsewhere. I would not recommend this woman as she cannot be trusted, she has too many children in her care and therefore out of touch with them. A very terrible experience!

My son was 6 months old when Bea started looking after him. It was very difficult to find a childminder who could meet my expectations and look after my son like his/her own child. But likely for me Bea did just that, she was like a second mother to him. I was informed about every details concerning his development including when his first tooth appeared ?, when he started crawling, standing, walking, etc. so it was like I didn't missed anything. She knew how hard it was for me to leave him at 6 months and she made sure that I wasn't disappointed with my choice. My son was always happy to see her in the morning and never cried. So all I can say is that Bea is one of the best childminders I have ever used; she is welcoming, kind, caring, understanding and very flexible in her work. By the way she also has a very clean house ?.
Thank you Bea for giving me and my son a great experience.

My little boy has been going to Beatrice now for almost a year (since he was 10 months old). She has been fantastic with him and he has settled in really well, he's always happy and full of smiles at the end of the day. On occasions when we have been unable to drop him/pick him up, it has never been an issue and Beatrice has always offered to collect him/drop him off. On top of all this she is always very flexible and it's never been a problem if I've needed to swap a day or add an extra day in the week.
