I have know Diane for nearly 10 years, she has childminded all 3 of my children, for me in an outstanding way.
I’ve always gone back Diane whenever I have Needed her, because of the way she is with my children, and other children.
Diane is very caring,accommodating, friendly and I felt at total ease leaving them in her care. They was so happy there and loved all the outings and activities. They developed their skills with her support.
Diane has a very welcoming and clean home, and always gives great advice about her minded children,
I have nothing but upmost love and respect for Diane. All my children love her , and will forever.!
Would highly recommend! A real home from home!

We have been with Diane for 7 years now, I first came to her with my 7 month old daughter who fell in love with Diane from the off. Diane attends several play groups throughout the week which is great for the social interaction and regularly takes the kids on outings, providing them with new experiences and opportunities to learn.
My youngest daughter is also now with Diane from the ages of 9 months - Diane has always been accommodating to my hectic work schedule and is happy to be flexible where she can. The food is always great with Diane providing tasty healthy meals, my 7 years old often states that my cooking "isn't as good as Diane's!" Her house is always pristine and other children that she looks after as well as mine always seem happy and contented.
Diane is always up to date with her paper work and is very aware of the OFSTEAD requirements ensuring that you as the parent is also, your child's record book is available to be viewed at any time, her communication is great with holiday requests being sent in good time. I would highly recommend Diane, she is great with the children (and parents) she has become part of the family.
