I have been fortunate enough for Louise (or Weezie as the children & parents call her) to take care of both of my children from babies to leaving for school. When meeting Louise for the first time she was warm & welcoming, I instantly felt reassured that my son would be happy, well looked after & thrive in her care. Both my son & daughter settled quickly & she treated them as her own. Her caring & supportive nature gave me peace of mind when returning to work.

She offers a wide range of meaningful learning activities within her home & garden, with an array of resources. The children have so many opportunities to visit different places - daily walks in the woods, trips out to the library, farm visits, the zoo & the scarecrow festival to name a few. I feel that both of my children really benefitted from the interaction with the older children who attended before & after school. She offers a wide variety of home cooked, tasty, healthy meals & snacks. Louise tracks the children’s learning & development; we always enjoyed looking through their learning journey. This is such a lovely keepsake too, we often look through all their fond memories of their time with ‘Weezie.’ Communication was excellent, messages, daily file & aways available to chat at the beginning & end of the day.

We really couldn’t have wished for anyone better to care for our children. I would certainly recommend Louise to anyone looking for a childminder.
