The Best Childminder!

5 stars

Louise has been an absolute blessing to our family, providing exceptional care for my two daughters from the age of one until they were ready for school. She offers a nurturing, home-from-home environment that radiates warmth, love, and genuine care. Louise embodies everything one could hope for in a childminder – she is compassionate, attentive, kind-hearted, and effortlessly positive. The bond she shares with my children is truly special; they adore her now just as much as they did when they were in her care.

Our family is particularly grateful for the unwavering support Louise has given to our daughter with special needs (Down Syndrome). Louise has gone above and beyond to ensure she receives the tailored care recommended by therapists and paediatricians, always displaying remarkable patience and understanding. Her thoughtful approach has had an immeasurable impact on my daughter’s development, and we are deeply thankful for the genuine love and dedication Louise has shown.

Beyond her attentiveness to the children’s emotional and developmental needs, Louise is incredibly mindful of their physical well-being, always ensuring they enjoy healthy, nutritious meals. As a parent, I always felt an immense sense of security knowing that my children were under Louise's care. Her influence on them has been profound, and even today, they cherish the moments spent with her.

As a family, we hold Louise in the highest regard and consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives. Her nurturing spirit, coupled with her unwavering dedication, has enriched our children’s lives in ways we will never forget. Without hesitation, we would recommend Louise to any family seeking a childminder who will provide not only exceptional care, but a loving and joyful experience for their children.

Outstanding Childminder!

5 stars

I consider Louise to be an esteemed childminder and I have learned her ability to care for children to be outstanding.
Louise is extremely committed to the children she looks after. She is vigilant and up to date with everything that is going on. My son, Jake, always comes out happy when I collect him.
Louise has a very positive disposition and its contagious. Jake, gets a lot out of his time with her family and has settled. I think Louise has been fundamental in enabling Jake to settle into his school routine too. She helps him reflect on his day and always takes a positive stance.
Louise is great at communicating with parents. She's honest, yet kind. Diplomatic and very helpful.
Louise has been Jake's childminder for 5 years and I may it long continue. Thanks Louise 👍

Couldn't have asked for better!

5 stars

Louise instantly put us at ease, she is kind and warm and welcoming and is careful to curate an environment for the children she cares for to flourish in. Our son has thrived with her and loves going to see her and the friends he makes from the others she cares for and the connections she has with other minders in the area. We've loved getting photos of what they've been up to in the day and that she keeps in touch if there are any concerns. We really couldn't have asked for any more from her and how much she has cared for our little one, we feel very lucky to have found her and got a place! We are so grateful to have found someone we had zero qualms leaving our child with, she is brilliant!

Highly recommended, Louise is truely amazing!!

5 stars

The minute my husband and I met Louise we instantly felt so comfortable and knew our son would be in safe hands. Our son has developed so much since he first started going to Louise's, and I attribute a lot of this to Louise.
Throughout the day Louise keeps us up to date with the activities they are doing and what food he has eaten (we get jealous of the amazing menu) Our son genuinley loves going to Louise's setting, and has made lots of friends along the way. He has become much more confident around other children thanks to Louise.

Louise's setting is a very child friendly and a welcoming space. Louise is more than a childminder, she is like a second mum to our son and a family friend. We are very much looking forward to our daughter attending Louise's later this year.

Louise is an excellent childminder.

5 stars

Louise is an excellent childminder and I would like to give her service 5 stars.

Louise has been childminding my son for approximately one year. My partner and I feel very lucky to have found someone who is genuine and passionate about her work. Louise is honest and prompt with communication which is refreshing. I love it when she sends pictures of what he is up to. This is very reassuring and allows me to relax and focus on my work because I know he is happy and safe.
Louise consistently shares the educational stages that he is going through. She is passionate about her children learning and is always encouraging them in their own direction. He comes home with new words and an energy for learning which is fantastic and I know it’s down to Louise.
Louise has a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere in her home and I think this helped him settle in well.
Louise has adjusted to a new way of working since Covid19. She has been open and vigilant with implementing the correct risk reduction plans and promoting safe practice. This was very reassuring for us and enabled me to continue to work as a key worker.
I would like to say a huge thank-you to Louise and her family for being such a fundamental part in our son's social development, enabling him to flourish and be happy. Looking forward to the next year ahead.

Amazing Childminder!

5 stars

I highly recommend Louise we met Louise before she started her childminder journey as at mum at my sons school, soon after meeting her I realised I would love if she would look after my 18 month old as I had to return to work. The children had such an amazing repor with her they adored her and she adored them. My children look forward to their days as Louise's house they love her and her family and always have fun. But what I love most about Louise is that she cares for them as if my children are her own which means alot to me. That's why I chose a childminder for my childrens setting. I want them to feel loved and happy but also to learn along they way. My daughter is absolutely thriving in her childcare environment and is blossoming into a lovely individual. Louise takes great interest in the childrens development and always updates me during the day with pictures and how daughter has eaten for lunch which is always lovely homemade food. My daughter's social and communication skills have been greatly enhanced since going Louise .
Louise takes the children on regular outings to toddler groups and parks and different adventures. I had a childminder before for my son and i never thought I would find someone that would match up to the childminder we used but luckily we found Louise and I'm very grateful we did!
