Alice is an amazing childminder. She took good care of my baby and he had a nice time with her. My baby settles down quickly, She's really kind and has provided a wonderful, safe and nurturing environment. Highly recommended.

I have been extremely happy with the care my child has received, and great progress she has made whilst in Alice's care.
Alice's home is always welcoming and well organised and my child has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in Alice's care.
She provides a fun range of activities that my child enjoys and also there is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my child's confidences and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.
I would absolutely recommend Alice as a great and reliable childminder.

I find Ms Alice to be friendly, welcoming and importantly genuinely interested in the holistic care of kids. My daughter seems to really enjoy her time at her house. Ms Alice is caring, flexible and all over lovely person and best childcare you could ever hope to find.

Alice has been caring for my children for just over a year. When I moved to Gravesend I was a bit apprehensive about getting a child-minder however my children settled in very quickly with Alice.
Her caring, patient, creative and fun nature was just what my children needed. My children enjoyed their time with Alice and always look forward to going to see her.
An excellent child-minder whom I would highly recommend. Although I have now moved out of Gravesend I will definitely be using her services again in the future. She is more than worth the travel. Good quality child-minders as herself are hard to come by so I will be sticking with her.

I really liked Alice and so did my son (who is 3yrs old) she was very caring and kind it's really a shame she had to move me and my son miss her dearly.
In saying all this she is a kind woman who loves children and people and treated my son like he was her own child 10 out of 10.
she also taught him how to use the toilet.
Thank you sooo much Alice your a life saver xxxx
