Little Feet Big Leap

100%

My son has been attending Chelsea’s( since he was 13 months) for the past 11 months. He settled quickly and has thrived in her home. His learning there is evident , he comes home singing songs , saying new words and saying his friends names. Chelsea provides a warm, loving and clean home and always fast to reply to a text / call. She does have a dog - which I was reluctant about (I’m not an animal lover) however it’s the tamest dog you will ever meet and really helped my son settle !
As an early years teacher I’m hard to please , I have looked at other settings and none of them matched Chelsea. I would 100% recommend .

Incredibly loving and nurturing childminder

Our daughter has been with Chelsea for nearly a year, starting from when she was nearly 13 months old and I truly could not have asked for a better environment or more caring person for our child. Due to the pandemic my daughter had limited experiences out of our home in her first year, and I fully credit Chelsea and her lovely team for creating a fun, loving, and nurturing environment for my daughter to branch out into-- and with Chelsea, she has absolutely flourished. Every day I pick her up I am amazed at what new adventures she's had, words she's learned, projects she's worked on, and the fun she's had. She has made wonderful friends and it is so wonderful to see her be part of such a lovely little group.

Chelsea is not only unbelievably attentive to the children, but she's also an amazing resource for me as a parent-- as her years of experience makes her input and ideas invaluable to me. She is 100% attuned to every detail of my daughter's health, development, and personality and I trust her opinion implicitly. She's been a wonderful friend to our whole family and I feel incredibly grateful to have met her.

I would 100% recommend Chelsea as a childminder!

I couldn’t contain my tears 😭😭 we love you all 💗💗

Chelsea has provided a warm and caring environment

Chelsea has looked after our 2yo girl and 4yo boy for a few months now. We had been on wait lists to get the 4yo into nursery/school, but even now that he has a part time place he is still spending time with Chelsea too. She provides a warm and caring environment full of positivity, compassion and patience. They do activities and daytrips as weather and timing allows. We are big fans of the creative and messy play. We've also been impressed by her success getting the 4yo to eat at lunchtime, he has often been resistant!

Chelsea is a very caring and welcoming person and we feel like she has made a genuine connection with our little people.

Thank you Chelsea!

Warm, caring, professional

I have been sending my 12 month old daughter to Chelsea for only a very short time of 2 months. Sadly this is because we are now moving out of the area and will be too far to travel in. We are all really sad to leave Chelsea and also her assistant Tasha who have been both amazing. It is evident that Chelsea is very passionate about children and enjoys what she does, she takes utmost care and nurtures them as if they were her own. My daughter has settled in so well with Chelsea over the last couple of months, it has been great to watch her really come out of her shell! I always looked forward to receiving the regular updates from Chelsea on how the day went and hearing what fun activities they got up whether outside in the garden, feeding ducks or playing indoors!
Chelsea would also provide helpful advice if there was something I wasn't sure of or if my daughter was feeling unwell. Being a new mum I really appreciated the advice.
I particularly enjoyed receiving the Mothers Day and Valentines Day cards that Chelsea helped my daughter make during arts and craft which were so sweet!
The genuine love and care Chelsea has shown towards my daughter over the 2 months I am very grateful. Although our time was short I can't recommend her highly enough!

Excellent Childminder! Highly recommend!

Chelsea has been our childminder for my first year at university, my son started with chelsea in September 2019 just after his 1st birthday and she made leaving our youngest son to go back to education so easy! He was instantly so comfortable and happy and never once cried for me! Chelsea has always been great at communicating how my son was doing during the day, which is very important to me.
Our son has some developmental delays and is being assessed for autism but he made so much progress in Chelsea's care. Her setting is always clean, tidy and welcoming. Chelsea and her assistant were both flexible and as helpful as can be. Both myself and my husband agree that we do not want to send our son to anyone else when I return to uni after covid, as we both trust her with our son 100%.
Chelsea is caring, professional and goes above and beyond to meet the needs of each individual child in her care. As this is my third child I've used various childminders/childcare settings over my 11 years as a mum but chelsea is the best childminder i have used and the one that has made us all feel the most comfortable. I would highly recommend Chelsea, her assistant and her setting to everyone.
