Leah cared for our two boys over a period of 3 years and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a childminder. Both of our boys settled incredibly well and within a short period of time which was entirely down to Leah’s calm and loving nature and the home from home environment she provides for the children in her care.

My youngest suffered with recurrent bronchiolitis episodes from an early age and it was a real comfort at the time that Leah had specific training on asthma awareness and was fully aware of the symptoms and early signs of breathing issues in young children. Leah is an extremely motivated person – not only in terms of developing her own knowledge and skills but also in relation to the activities and resources she provides for the children. Leah's home is clean and tidy and she always has activities set up or trips organised for the children so they continually learn and experience new things.

Leah is a warmhearted and open person who is incredibly adept at putting children (and adults) at ease. She is reliable and trustworthy and always tried to assist where she could when we needed to alter drop off or pick up times. Both of our boys developed in confidence and ability whilst with Leah and her family and we were very lucky to find her.
