Coleen is such a highly experienced childminder that I have been extremely happy to send both of my sons to her for their pre school childcare while I have been working. Both my sons are very different, and have needed very different levels of reassurance when being left. However with the help and support of settling in sessions, great levels of communication between us both and a comforting homely feel to Coleen’s house it makes the whole process of leaving your children with her an easier experience to do.
Coleen’s home is excellently kitted out with a range of educational and fun toys and has a garden with a large choice of outdoor play equipment. Very highly recommended!

Coleen has been looking after my son for quite a few years now. She has been absolutely amazing with him as it takes a special person to bond with him and for him to bond with, especially in his younger years. My son thinks the absolute world of Coleen and loves going to her house after school and on days when his dad and I have to work and the school is closed. Coleen has played a big part in my sons early years education and has shown him nothing but love, care and consideration, even when he has his off days. She has been not only amazing with my son but also with myself aswell, she is so much more than a childminder, she has come to be a great friend. Her home is her business and you always feel welcome, no matter how busy she is. I have, over the years, recommended Coleen to many many other parents as one of the best, if not THE best, childminders I have ever used. I couldn't imagine leaving my son with anyone else now.

Coleen has looked after my little ones since they were 1 year old they are now 5 and 6. She has been amazing not just with the children but a support for me and my husband. We have discussed every step of my children's progression and she has supported us through some tough times. My children love her to pieces and just think of her as an extension to our family network. If you want a caring childminder you won't find better

I first used Coleen when I was in need of a reliable and safe childminder because I was previously using someone in another local village who was not meeting the needs I was expecting and paying for. From that day my son and I were welcomed into Coleen’s front door I instantly knew this was going to be a lady who not only was to be major care and support for my son she also become a dear friend where I have been able to use her shoulder to cry on and has become part of my support and rock to allow me to work and grow my career in the relevant fields I have explored after having a child.
She ensures she gets to know individual children’s interests and personalities. She knows what the children like and dislike.
Her home is also her work space and has ample amounts of toys and activities for the children to use and have each day. And a well organised garage for them all to be stored in!
There is no problem or issue that prevents Coleen from doing her very best to support and provide care for the children.
My son has made many friends that without time in Coleen’s care he would not have the time to play and learn with them outside of school time.
Being a working parent Coleen has always provided professional paper work to show her career is organised and up to date. She provides care for children at a very reasonable price. Her working hours are catered to suit all working parents. She is an emergency number on my sons school details if I cannot get to school as soon as possible. I do not know what I would do without Coleen. She is a star, an outstanding, caring and genuine childminder that any child who gets the opportunity to be in her care will always know they are safe, protected and cherished!

Coleen has been our childminder for 8 and a half years now, both my daughters Mia and Ava went to coleen’s setting from a few months old. Mia and Ava now only go to coleen’s in the holidays due to my job change.
Coleen is a very hard working childminder, I know once I drop my girls off they are in safe hands. Coleen always has time to talk about daily activities, achievements and the fun they have had that day. When I’m at work it’s always nice to see what the children have been up to on coleen’s private childminding page.
Coleen’s house is always clean, we are always made to feel welcome when we arrive! The garden is an amazing area for the children to play, my children are always attracted to the alphabet which is on coleen’s fence!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Coleen for all the hard work and love she gives to every child in her setting!

Both my children attend Coleen’s even now I’ve moved away, they still attend when with there Dad as they absolutely love Coleen.
My Daughter has been with Coleen since she was 9 months old. She is now 2years, 5 months and has come on so well with Coleen, her speech is amazing and has been since a young age thanks to Coleen always encouraging. She is also out of nappies and that was also completed with the help of Coleen.
My son had an awful experience with another setting and Coleen done everything possible for us to be able to move our son into her care quickly. We spent a year at the previous setting with him screaming begging me not to go, after the first session with Coleen, he just ran off and was happy. That says it all for me as a parent, my children feel safe, happy and content with Coleen all the time. She treats every child like she would her own, and is not only there for the children but also offers parents support and guidance in times when needed. I can not thank Coleen enough for all she has done for myself and my 2 children. She has helped me raise my children whilst I began my career and I will always forever be grateful for her support and childcare.
Coleen is so much more than a Childminder, she gives to children so much more than just ‘basic’ childcare. Every child loves her like a family member. There hard to come by.. Thank you Coleen for everything.

Coleen has been my childminder for at least 5 years now, she’s brilliant. All the kids love her, and she’s genuinely lovely, kind and plans so many different activities for the children, she the best childminder in the village. My daughter enjoys seeing her, and Coleen totally understands the needs of my daughter. I can’t thank Coleen enough for her past support.
