My Summary
About Me
NO SPACES AT PRESENT - NOV 2024
I’m a mum with 2 grown up children. I started childminding to look after my own family and have never looked back! I’ve had lots of experience with children and consider myself kind and patient and offer a safe, comfortable home from home. We visit lots of baby groups, parks, play centres and the library with other childminders so the children have the opportunity to socialise with other children. I have lots of lovely references from past families.
I work Monday to Thursday, term time only, start at 7.30am and finish at 5.30pm.

Dawn has looked after our 3 year old since she was 10 months old. She has just left to go on to school nursery. I am so sad about this as Dawn has been amazing and such a wonderful influence on our daughter. She has nurtured her and watched her grow and we are so thankful for all that she has done to provide a safe loving environment. She has helped in all aspects of care as we have no available family nearby and I am so grateful for her help. We love that you take her to playgroups and days out as she enjoys it so much. You are wonderful Dawn and we will really miss you xxx

Thank you for the lovely review. I’ve so enjoyed taking care of Ella! She’s such a friendly, happy, loving little girl who just makes me laugh! We will all miss her so much but I know that she’s so ready for her next big adventure x
My little boy has been with Dawn since he was 1 years old and yesterday we said goodbye which was heartbreaking. Dawn has always provided a loving and friendly environment for him to excel in. Our boy was born with a few health conditions and Dawn always made me feel at ease that if ever there was an issue then he would be in the best hands. He is also non verbal and Dawn has been very supportive and also proactive in helping us get the help we need. We love that Dawn takes the kids to local play groups and out and about exploring aswell as learning and singing. Thank you and we can't wait to send our youngest child to you in a few months ❤️

Thank you for the lovely review Danielle. We will all miss our little friend! Can’t wait to hear all about his next adventure and look forward to little brother joining our crew! X
My daughter has just turned 2 and has been going to dawn since she was 9 months old, she has gone from a timid little baby to a happy, confident & bubbly toddler. Dawn has really brought her out of her shell and put my mind at ease, she has always been like another nanny to my baby, providing a safe environment, lots of love and taking her on adventures which she tells me all about when she gets home. She especially enjoys little explorers where she can sing and dance and she has made a little best friend at dawns. I cannot thank or recommend dawn enough we will miss you so much xx

Thank you for the lovely review! We are all going to miss our little friend so much especially her singing! I’m sure she’s going to love nursery and will make so many new friends x
What I can I say about Dawn other than amazing!!! My little boy came to dawn at 11 months old till he was 3, it always felt like a home from home environment. Dawn takes the kids to playgroups and does regular activities they are always stimulated and developing. I loved the way throughout the day we got pictures of what my little boy was doing with him looking so happy. My little boy loved going and his development was amazing counting doi f his colours ect but all through fun and play. I cannot recommend Dawn enough if you want a kind caring childminder who like I said is a real life Mary Poppins then Dawn is the one !! Myself and my son still miss her xxx

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We all miss our smiley little friend. I know he’ll really enjoy nursery and his next little adventure x
Dawn looked after my daughter from 10 months old to nearly 3 years old. Dawn has been amazing, my daughter went out to a different play group every day with her and we loved hearing all the stories of her day when we picked her up. I felt comfortable leaving my daughter with dawn as I knew she would be safe. Dawn also made sure that she sent me photos of her during the day which I found really comforting as I could see she was happy in her care.
