Brilliant childminder

5 stars

Alison has been a fantastic childminder to our daughter, and has looked after her since she was 6 months old. Alison always carries out varied and exciting activities for the children every day, and every day is different! Our daughter loves going to Alison’s and we are so lucky to have had her help in caring for our little girl. I wholeheartedly recommend Alison’s childminding services.

Alison looked after my daughter before and after school and I have no hesitation in recommending her. The only reason for my daughter not being with Alison currently is that I am on maternity leave.
My daughter settled into Alison’s care very quickly. Alison makes all the children feel at home and makes a lot of effort to ensure that the children have a range of activities available to them after school. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my child in Alison’s care.

Fantastic childminder

5 stars

I have 4 children 3 of which Alison has looked after. Alison has had the 2 youngest from newborn until they went to school and they now go back in the holidays. They are 5 and 9. She is a kind and caring lady who looks after the children like they are her own. I would really recommend anyone using Alison to look after their children ?

Amazing

5 stars

Alison has looked after both my children from age 1. She is organised and child focused, flexible and approachable. She provides suitable activities for the children, making the most of the local facilities and outdoor spaces. She is keen to support both verbal and numerical development, and keeps good records to share with us on a regular basis.

Absolutely amazing

5 stars

Alison has had both of my children from a very young age and she has been fantastic, she does many activities with them, all the right age learnings, up to date folders, arts and crafts and so much more. I cannot fault Alison in anyway as her attention, safety and care for the child is 100%, my son and daughter are always very happy and excited to see her. I would without a doubt recommend her.
