Danielle

Without a doubt The best there is!

On the off chance I was able to secure a place for my daughter with Danielle. My daughter was 6 months old when she started with Danielle. I honestly cannot put into words how pleased I am my daughter has a place with Danielle. From our first visit we clicked my daughter settled straight away in her presence the environment was home from home comfortable and nurturing the feel I had as a parent being there was instantly calming and settled. Danielle had supported me with invoices that are approved for universal credit she is understanding and instantly made me feel at ease. Danielle has followed my daughter routine and has completely fitted it around her and the other wonderful children she looks after. Her children are beautiful well mannered and very loving with my daughter. For me it’s a home from home I feel like I’m leaving my daughter with a family member and I couldn’t be more thankful to Danielle and her family. If your looking for a well priced calming nurturing loving and all round amazing lady to look after your child you’ve found her xxx

The best childminder for my little girl

My daughter, who's nearly 2 has been coming to Danielle's since December after finding Danielle on here. My daughter absolutely loves it here, she's so excited every morning. Danielle's care, is the best I've known. She listens to our ethics as parents and is so flexible and supportive. My daughter comes home with books to read, she has developed so much since starting here due to Danielle's care. She also loves the other children who go, they are the best of friends. Overall, a lovely person and a great environment for developing minds!

Home from home

Danielle has been amazing from our first contact. Nothing has ever been too much trouble. My little girl absolutely adores Danielle and has been made an extra part of their family. It's a massively daunting time leaving your child with someone but I can honestly say that the transition has been effortless and Danielle has become a second mum. The setting is always clean and tidy with plenty of toys/learning activities set out upon arrival every day. I love walking in on an evening to singing or story time. I honestly can't recommend Danielle enough. If you want a fantastic, honest, loving, educational environment for your child to thrive in don't think twice.

Our daughter has blossomed at this setting.

From the onset of engaging with Danielle we were put at ease and no question was too much for her to answer, especially as leaving your young child with someone else for the first time can be a daunting and worrying experience for any parent.
The induction process was informative and flexible to both ours and Danielle’s needs in terms of how long and when our 1 year old daughter could come and try out her new setting.
Danielle is very flexible, if we have needed to change a day or a time this has always been accommodated.
The environment at Danielle's is always clean and tidy and upon arrival there are always toys/learning equipment set up ready to use, giving a well organised and welcoming feeling. There are a variety of resources available to explore which are age and stage appropriate.
Our daughter also comes home with fabulous home learning activities. We have lovely reading books, the anytime bear and story sacks.
Her approach to caring for our daughter complements our parenting well and she respects our personal philosophies.
There is no doubt in the time spent at Danielle's that our daughter has built confidence and self-awareness whilst also developing in terms of personal, social and emotional skills and has formed positive relationships with the other children there.
Our daughter loves going to Danielle's each day and normally runs into the house with a massive smile and hugs for everyone which to us says everything about the environment that Danielle creates.
We feel fortunate that there was a place for our daughter at Danielle's and now, as our daughter approaches transition into school we cannot highlight enough the positive influence Danielle has had on both our daughter and ourselves as parents and we are convinced that our daughter owes much of her development and happiness to Danielle's presence and her lovely setting.

Fantastic all round!

Danielle started to look after my little girl in 2018 when she was 2. She was so caring and my little girl thrived with her. My girl immediately fitted in with Danielle’s own kids like she was part of the family. My little girl progressed so fast in reading, writing and other skills and Danielle even sent home made workbooks home as she enjoyed the writing activities so much. Danielle helped her to get ready for starting school with games and work sheets and we were all so upset when it was time for her to leave for school.
I was so happy with the care Danielle provided that I was keen for her to look after my baby boy too when he was 5 months old. He is still with her now at 18 months and absolutely loves going every day. There is always a variety of activities set out every day on arrival and we receive regular updates on progress and learning. Danielle goes above and beyond and is totally reliable and trustworthy. Her house is clean and very well set up for childminding. Her fees are extremely good value for the flexible hours she offers. I cannot recommend this service highly enough.
