My daughter mollie is now nearly 9 months old and being my first, I've never used any kind of child care services before and wasn't sure on what was availiable. I was so nervous to leave mollie in someone else's care and didn't call for a while but as I needed to go back to work I needed to sort something out. I called Louise and straight away she put my mind at ease. I visited Louise with mollie and felt so welcome and the set up is just like a lovely home environment and felt so normal and Natural! Especially the huge garden and all the toys! And to add to all this, mollie just smiled and smiled!! I am probably the most un organised person and regularly text Louise late at night for next day care and she has never let me down and always takes mollie any day any time, I feel so happy leaving her and I know she is well cared for and looked after, and best of all mollie has so much fun I get a lovely calm and peaceful evening as mollie is extra tired! For anyone nervous about leaving thier child and heading back to work Louise is the lady for you, she's amazing and I know I can go to work leaving mollie with a lovely family and knowing she's safe and having fun! Thankyou
Overall
I have used Louise for a number of years for Childcare over the school holidays. Louise and her family have always made my daughter feel very welcome, making my daughters stay always enjoyable!
Louise is very flexible, and has always been able to help me out at short notice. Sadly, I'll soon be in a position to find another Childminder due to a move, and I know the next Childminder will have to be pretty special to fill this ladies shoes! I can't recommend Louise high enough!
Lovely family,very reasonable prices, a lovely home and I hear the food is very good too!

Six years ago I cancelled my daughter's reserved place at a nursery to place her with Louise as I felt that she offered a home from home environment. This is very important to me as I have no family nearby and also commute long distance to work. Two years ago when I returned to work after a three month maternity leave I had no hesitation in leaving my 10 week old son in her care. My son was diagnosed with reflux as a baby so was often sick, even when healthy, but received the best care possible. Both children feel like members of her extended family and interact well with Louise's own children and pets. They also love playing on all of the play equipment in the garden and the house is very well stocked with children's toys.
Louse provides excellent care including day trips, trips to the park, school outings and has also reminded me of events on many occasions and also taken my children to events when I have been unable to attend.
Recently due to my own ill health and company merger we have had to reduce our childcare hours which was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make but my children will continue to attend. I would have given a rating of excellent rather than good if I was able too.
