Danielle really bonded with our one year old son, who until he started had only really spent time with close family (and was still breastfeeding). We were really impressed by the time taken to settle him in, building up to three full days a week. The kids always seemed to be going out and about, and visited different playgrounds and play centres - ensuring lots of variety in their day. Every evening we heard the stories about what they had eaten, made, read or sung. Our son soon counted Danielle’s own kids as friends, and the decision to move him to a nursery setting was no way a reflection on Danielle’s generous and flexible childminding. My wife and I would definitely recommend Danielle to other parents.

My son is 21 months now and has been with 'Dan-Dan' 3 days a week since he turned 1. He has a brilliant time there and has formed such a strong attachment with her and her children, and the other children who are there at the same time as him. He talks about them regularly at home and there is obviously a lot of love and trust there. He has developed in leaps and bounds. He's a happy and chatty boy and likes to tell me about all the fun things he has done that day. Danielle ensures there's plenty of varied play either at her home or in parks, trips to the zoo, soft play, crafts, baking, play groups (such as messy play in the park). I have noticed some subtle and lovely behaviours that he must have learnt from her, like standing out of the way of cyclists and pedestrians on the pavement safely and holding onto the pram well while walking. Safety is evidently high on Danielle's priority list. He eats tonnes when he's at her house and although I haven't seen the meals he has, by all accounts they sound very well rounded and nutritious. Something that really helped me be comfortable with sending my son away from me, was Danielle's kind and open demeanour. She has been so on the same page as us in terms of our style of parenting. Initially Freddie didn't like to nap alone and we discussed this and she happily cuddled him while he napped until he got a bit older and decided he was happy to be in a cot. This meant a lot to me. I've always found it easy to raise anything with Danielle and have always left the conversations feeling listened to and reassured. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Danielle was absolutely brilliant with my 11 month old Daughter. She is confident, warm and clearly incredibly good at what she does. I would strongly recommend her. I'll definitely ask her to provide child care again in the future

My 10 month old son has been with Danielle for less than 1 month but has already grown so much! They always go to either the park or to soft play. He also seems to have a lot of fun eating with his hand!

Our daughter started going to Danielle's from when she was nine months old. She settled in really quickly due to Danielle's sensitive and energetic way to engage with little ones. It's great to see how much fun our daughter has at all the different activities and that she gets to have her naps and time to relax at the same time. Danielle responds well to the (ever changing) individual needs of the child (e.g. with regard to sleeping and eating) and is happy to make adjustments. Now at 13 months, our daughter gives 'Dan-Dan' a big smile when we drop her off.

Danielle has been excellent with my daughter who is 1 years old. Danielle is very warm and nurturing, and my daughter settled into Little Leader’s almost immediately. I am also extremely pleased with the care and stimulation provided to my daughter whilst at Little Leaders. My daughter has loads of food allergies which I was quite anxious about, however Danielle has accommodated my daughters dietary requirements, and dealt with her allergies well. I would highly recommended Little Leaders!

My daughter has been with Danielle for a few months now and we’re very happy with our choice. Danielle provides an engaging, warm, active and fun environment for my little one, who has been having a great time. She goes on different outings most days or Danielle plans fun activities at home. My daughter is happy to see ‘Dan dan’ in the morning and always comes home tired, but happy and with a tummy full of healthy, home cooked food!

Danielle is brilliant with my son, who she looked after on an ad hoc basis from when he was four months old, until he went to nursery, aged two. She is full of energy and ideas and my son always came home happy and tired and eager to go back. She is creative with food and activities and clearly loves her job. I highly recommend Danielle.

Danielle has been a truly wonderful nanny to my 2 daughters aged 3 and 15 months. Danielle worked really hard with my first daughter teaching her colours and numbers which has given her a great start. Danielle always made sure my girls were kept busy and stimulated whether that was at the park, soft play, farms, play groups or music groups, and I know they will certainly miss your wonderful healthy cooking (as will I!). Best of luck in your new role as a childminder and enjoy making many more memories with a new family!
