My daughter was with Wendy on a part time basis for around 18 months from the age of just under 2. She adored Wendy and still talks about her even though she hasn’t seen her since last summer! Wendy’s home and family are so welcoming, she always made sure my daughter had plenty to do, places to see and new things to try. Wendy took great diligence with my daughter’s allergies and eczema, keeping me informed of how she has managed during the day. When we started potty training, I knew we would have no problems with Wendy and she gave my daughter so much confidence in her transition. My niece also joined Wendy’s setting during the summer holidays and absolutely loved it. Wendy’s childminding is truly a home from home for my children, we love her very much and hope to return in the future!

Wendy is the best Childminder ever! She has been taking care of my daughter for over three years and my daughter adores her! Children are always involved in plenty of activities and outings and I never worry about my daughter with her. She is simply the best!

How thankful we are to have found Wendy! We previously had our little one enrolled at a well-respected nursery. When we moved, we decided to switch to a childminder and so thankful for this decision. Not only does Wendy seem to genuinely care for each child, but she also is excellent at keeping us as parents informed of the day-to-day activities and how our daughter is doing. We are so pleased we made the switch and found Wendy!

I have been using wendy as a childminder since 3 years for my 7yr old and 3 years old nieces, and i got to say she is brilliant. Her home is warm and welcoming with many things to keep the children entertained and is forever bringing new activities and creating a great atmosphere! Wendy has been very flexible with my needs and requirements even at the last minute and made sure to sort things out for me before I start panicking! My nieces love her very much they both get excited when i tell him we are going to wendys. Wendy picks her up from home early to school, collects her from school, provides her with meals even though she has severe allergy, and always keeps me up to date with everything she buys for her or asks me questions relating to her food or medication for assurance. Wendy also drops my niece back home when i need help! By the end of the day both my nieces are tired but they are very happy and excited that they have spend the day at wendys ! I've used nurseries in the past but have found this to be much more better and i would recommend her to anyone!
Thank you for your forever patience and care !

Thank you very much Emanuella for your kind words.
 Take care and speak soon.
Wendy🙏🏻👍🏼💖
Wendy has provided childcare for my 2.5 year old son. Wendy is fantastic and provides a great service in all areas of childcare. My son loves going with Wendy and enjoyed his time there. Wendy always provides a fabulous range of exciting activities and trips for the children (such as Kew Gardens, London Zoo, various playgroups, Wakey Warehouse, etc). My son has had gut and food sensitivity issues, which Wendy has worked with us on and delivered tasty meals and snacks. Wendy is without a doubt the best and most experienced childcare provider I have personally used.

Thank you very much Annemarie for your review of my service👍🏼💖.
You son is a pleasure to care for and is I believe enjoying his time in my setting. His development in all areas is exceeding expectations.
I couldn’t be happier with Wendy being my daughter’s childminder.
I highly recommend her to other families looking for a childminder.
Wendy cared for my daughter for over a year whilst attending nursery.
Wendy used to pick up my daughter after nursery had ended and would care for her throughout the afternoon.
Wendy was constantly teaching my daughter through play and helped her progress in her learning ability with activities that incorporated reading and writing.
Wendy always encouraged activities outdoor be it in the garden or in a local park. Loving nature and growing plants for children to nurture.
My daughter would come home with paintings, drawings and creative things she used to make whist in Wendys care.
Wendy provided meals and snacks which was helpful.
Wendys service to drop off my daughter at the end of the day was so helpful after my long day.
My daughter from time to time is still cared for by Wendy and is so happy to return to her home where she can have fun and plays with others and see Wendy again.
I highly recommend Wendy and wish her all the best as a childminder.
