My little boy settled in quickly and grew so fond of Andie who was like another mom to him - a loving and cosy 'home away from home'. Everyday was packed with fun educational themed activities - from outings to soft play/animal farms to arts and crafts activities to fine and gross motor tasks.Each day I would receive detailed communication with photos of how his day was going, what he ate, how he slept and so forth.I always found her setting clean, fresh healthy varied meals made by her and an abundance of different educational toys catering to his development and interests. Andie is someone who is passionate, caring and dedicated to childcare and has gone above and beyond for my child - thank you so much!

I am so pleased to have found Andie. My son (age 1) settled in so quickly. Andie has decades of experience and provides a loving, home from home environment. She plans lots of fun crafts (as a result my son loves colouring independently at only 16 months old!). He always ends the day clean, happy and well fed. I couldn’t be happier with the care Andie provides.

We're sadly moving, but have had the best experience with Andie as our childminder to our 2 year old son. He settled in very quickly and gets very excited when he knows we're going to hers, a true testament to how caring & nurturing she is. Andie also takes time to create educational playtime, he's developed so much in his speech (& singing!). We struggled to get our son to brush his teeth and she helped and he now brushes his teeth with no fight! Can't recommend her enough!

Andie looked after my son for the past 2 years and she’s been wonderful with him. He is the happiest every day when he goes to her and he is learning a lot. She makes the kids do all these great craft activities, learning activities on various themes, and takes them to soft plays often. I have such a peace of mind to leave him in her care as I know he will be well looked after and get all the attention and care he needs. We always get lots of pictures during the day. A real home away from home for our little one, we will be very sad to leave Andie this summer when we relocate abroad.

Andie has been looking after our daughter for 6 months. She has been really patient as she adjusted to being away from home after lockdown. She always has brilliant and thoughtful activities planned with different themes each week. Our daughter brings home the most amazing crafts each week and her development is supported and encouraged. They also have regular trips out to soft play and other local attractions. Andie has also helped our daughter with her sleep, which has not been easy but she persevered!!
We love getting regular photos each day of what they are getting up too.
Overall we are really happy with her care and recommend Andie 100%!
