VM Childminding's Reviews

The best there is

Our daughter started here in Jan 2022 and we have been amazed and impressed from day one. She absolutely adores Vicky and Maisie and all the children who attend the setting. They provide excellent activities throughout the day and we look forward to our daily update on what she has been doing and see pictures of her enjoying herself.

For us, we could not wish for a better setting for our daughter. There is plenty of learning through play and through the age appropriate activities. She benefits from lots of play outdoor compared to a private nursery as well trips to the park and library etc. We have also felt extremely well supported by them when there have been big milestones in our daughter’s development (such as potty training etc).

Vicky and Maisie are a dream duo and we feel so grateful to have found them and had them look our daughter for just over 2 years. It will be heartbreaking for us when she starts school later this year but we hope that another child gets to benefit from the incredible care and wonderful environment that they have created for the children in their setting and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare in the area.

Thank you so much for your review! It has been lovely watching her learn and grow over the last couple of years.

V&M are terrific

My wife and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Vicky and Maisie to look after our boy. They are an absolutely amazing duo, providing a best-in-class childcare experience. My son not only loves going, but is also thriving in their fun and educational setting.

They are always introducing new and creative activities in a fantastic environment and as others have said, their understanding and application of the EYFS curriculum really provides my son with a terrific experience.

One of the things we appreciate most is the daily updates and photos during the working day – showing us what he’s been up to (we look forward to receiving them!). Further, their proximity to Petts Wood station is ideal – I can drop off and be on a train into Cannon Streett at 7.44am

In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Vicky and Maisie to any family in search of a childcare provider. Their passion for their profession, combined with their dedication and qualifications, make them the perfect choice.

Amazing Childminders

Vicky and Maisie are absolutely amazing and provide best in class childcare.

They provide a fun and educational setting and continuously add new creative activities, my son absolutely loves it and is thriving.

We would have no issues recommending them to any family that is looking for a fun, loving and nurturing environment for their little one.

We genuinely feel lucky to have found them.

Thank you so much for your review! It is a joy to look after him. We feel like the lucky ones to have such lovely children and families.

A lovely setting with two kind and fun carers

Vicky & Maisie have looked after my little girl for almost two years now, and my son for almost a year.

They are a rare find! They're always thinking of new and fun activities, crafts and games to play with the children. I appreciate the detailed updates and photos during the day and I like that they know the EYFS curriculum and how to apply it. My toddler has learnt about healthy eating habits and lots more. My favourite thing about Vicky and Maisie is how much both my children love them and love being there. They're happy to go in and they're happy, tired and well-fed at the end of the day. They come home excited to tell me about all the fun things they've been up to.

They have an amazing play space, a fantastic garden with a woodland trail for kids and I love that they do plenty of activities outdoors e.g. trips to the local library and to the playgrounds and country parks.

Their location is so close to the station, so it makes drop offs and pickups for fast and easy.

I can't recommend them enough!

Thank you for your kind review. It is a pleasure to have them both!

Lovely child-led childminders

Vicki and Maisie have provided a wonderful nurturing and safe setting for our son this past year. They have a lot of early years experience between them and seek to provide a range of activities to promote his social, emotional and physical development. They have a dedicated space for childminding plus a big garden with outdoor toys for the children to play with. Vicki and Maisie understand the importance of regular outside play and they also do regular walking trips locally to the park, the library etc. they organise special activities to celebrate festivals ,birthdays and other events like Children in Need. We couldn't recommend V&M more highly to anyone needing childcare provision in the Petts Wood area.

Thank you so much for your review. It has been wonderful seeing him grow and develop over this past year.

Amazing & dedicated duo providing a loving home

Vicky and Maisie are such a rare find!
Organised, dedicated and well qualified with a great EYFS understanding and such a passion for their profession.
Our son adores them both and can’t wait to get in through the door in the mornings. They take just as much pride and happiness when he hits a new milestone and love helping him learn new skills.
It’s noticeable the days he spends time at their house as he’s so happy and he always try’s to encourage me to come inside and play.
