Dawn has been looking after my daughter since she was 11 months old (now >2.5yrs). My daughter loves her days at Dawn's. It is a warm,friendly and caring environment that encourages learning through play and imagination. My daughter especially enjoys all of the outdoor play. Previous to the pandemic there were almost daily trips out too. This is something I particularly liked about Dawn. Because I work full time i was keen for my daughter to avoid the nursery style care setting of being in one room or small garden are all day every day. Dawn's home is the opposite of that!
I highly recommend Dawn if you want your child to be looked after in a home / caring environment with lots of time outdoors.

My children have now been in Dawns care for nearly three years and we’re set to stay!
Having two children who couldn’t be more different - one prefers outdoors adventure and the other quieter play - they both instantly settled at Dawns and we have never looked back. Dawn provides a nurturing, caring home that is always full of fun and laughter.
Sorry to mimic other reviews but it really is home from home and I imagine in my children’s eyes probably the better home!

Dawn has looked after both our children over the the last 4 years. She is caring, reliable and responsible in every aspect of the service she provides. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Both my children attend Dawn's. They joined in June this year. They have both settled really well given the uncertain times at present. Cleanliness has been key. It's a warm, caring environment. The kids have an excellent time whilst they are there, enjoying play time, messy play, role play, stories and puddle jumping.

Dawn is caring, friendly and trustworthy. My son loves the days when he goes to her house, he loves Dawn's childminding family. A real home from home. Dawn provides a large variety of activities and walks. She has a lovely outside space too for children to use. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare in the area.

Our two boys have been with Dawn for the past 6 months and we couldn't recommend her highly enough. They both settled instantly, and have so much fun which is definitely due to the care, love and attention shown by both Dawn and Stuart who are so wonderful with them both. It means there's never a worry, we know the boys are in the best hands.

We can't recommend Dawn and her family enough! Both of my children settled quickly, and have loved spending time with her and Stuart over the past 3 years.
Dawn provides a caring, family environment which all the children thrive in.

My daughter has been attending Dawns house for almost three years and it has most definitely become a home away from home which is exactly what we wanted. She has been so happy, made so many good friends and always leaves with a massive grin on her face. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a safe, fun and nurturing environment for their little ones.

My two children have been going to Dawn’s for the last 4 years and we couldn’t be happier with the provision. Dawn offers such a fun and supportive family environment, and her husband Stuart and her daughters are equally wonderful with the children. My son does all his homework there - it really is home from home. My children love playing with the other children who attend - it’s like having extra siblings for them. The house and garden are lovely and set up really well for the children with plenty of toys and fun activities. I couldn’t recommend Dawn more highly.

Dawn is incredible with children and clearly loves to be with them and show them around in the world.
She took my daughter out to a broad range of activities, did plenty of craft and development activities with her and there were wonderful opportunities for imaginative play (awesome dressing up box). Her garden has plenty of space and toys and there are even animals to play with. Dawn’s food was always amazing. She is personable and supportive and was an essential part of our family life. I would t hesitate to recommend her and already have done to several friends.
My daughter still asks to go even though we no longer need Childcare!
