We can’t thank Donna and Gary enough for the amazing care they’ve provided to our son for the last 18 months. He started there as a 9 month old baby and has grown into a funny, intelligent and loving toddler and we’re confident Donna has played a huge role in his development. We appreciate the daily updates she provides and love how happy he looks playing with the other children. We would recommend Donna Day Care to anyone looking for a new childminder 😊

My son (5yo) has been with Donna and Gary since after COVID. I honestly could not ask for better people to mind my son. He has severe allergies and not once have I been concerned for his well being. Both Donna and Gary have minded and loved him like their own. My son has flourished since having them in his daily life. If we were not relocating my son and my future son who I am pregnant with would be with Donna and Gary. X

My 3 children loved their time. Thank you for everything. They were comfortable from the get go and settled in very quickly. My children are 10 , 8 and 4. They are great with all age groups. Hopefully we will be back very soon ;) xx

My daughter joined Donna & Gary when she was in Reception (age 4) and is now in year 6 (age 10). From the minute I stepped into their home to have that first proper chat, I knew my daughter was going to be absolutely fine. Donna and Gary are professional, down to earth and treated my daughter like one of their own. I completely trusted that she was in safe hands - it was like going from home to home and my daughter absolutely loved being there. Donna & Gary go out of their way to know the kids and are always going the extra mile. I have watched my daughter’s confidence and social skills excel over the past years and I believe by being with Donna and Gary has played a massive part. Thank you so much both of you you’re amazing! xxx

My son started at Donnas when he was 2 years old (now 10), we looked around prior to finding Donnas but no one else gave us that feeling of security, the feeling of our child being safe whilst in their care. Donna has such warmth about her where the children are concerned and the bond she creates with them is wonderful. Our son had an amazing time at Donnas and was always ahead with speech, fine motor skills, reading etc as Donna did alot of this with him. Due to our sons experience at Donnas we knew that when our daughter was born we didn’t want her to go to anyone else, we knew it would be the best place for her and she would excel in every avenue by being there.
We sent our daughter to Donna’s when she was 1 (she’s now 6) we didn’t need to wait until she was that bit older as we knew from the experience with Mason that she was would be just fine.
We have reverently decided not to send our children to Donna’s as we have our own company and work from home therefore childcare is no longer required but if childcare was ever required in the future Donna’s would be the one for us 😃
Thank you Donna & Gary, we will forever be grateful xx

We've had two incredible years entrusting Donna with looking after our daughter. I can't thank her enough for her understanding, care, and support. She has played an enormous part in raising our girl with us and helped shape the person she will become.
Thankyou for all you have done and I recommend Donna to anybody looking for childcare.

Going back to work was the worst feeling when my little boy was only 12 months old but Donna made the process so easy and comfortable.
He is now 4 and he has loved his time with Donna, he has come on leaps and bounds and all with the guidance and care from her. She sends photos throughout the day which always gives me comfort. He enjoys varied dinners and Lunches and eats better there than at home.
Donna has always been so flexible with me and my hours which always makes it easy.
My son absolutely adores Donna, Charlotte, Danny and Gary, and is treated like part of the family.
I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a childminder and I wish I didn’t have to leave her

So like most parents when my son started reception we were very hesitant to send him to a childminder in fact my husband was totally against it however donna contacted me through here and we went round to meet her.the minute we walked in she made us and my son very welcome and introduced us to Gary and also her 2 grown up children.my son felt at ease very quickly and came away happy.my husbands 1st words were yes lets get him a space there.i can honestly say she was treated him like one of her own children and she has gone above and beyond for us.she made it so much more easier going to work knowing he was happy and well looked after. After 6 yrs all good things must come to an end as he is approaching secondary school now.he will truly miss them all but we will still keep in touch as she has helped him become the person he is today! I wouldnt hesitate recommending Donna to any one as your children will be loved and will love being there.
Thank you Donna & Gary you have be amazing xx

My daughter joined Donna when she was 1 (now 9) and from the moment we met her we knew our daughter would be happy. My son then then arrived and joined when he was 10 months old (now nearly 5). My circumstances have changed so no longer need childcare and my two were gutted to leave Donna’s but we still see her and do play dates and she is still very much part of their lives. I wouldn’t hesitate sending them back to her when we need childcare again. She is absolutely amazing. Thank you for everything Donna and Gary.

Donna welcomed our children with open arms and made them feel as if they were going from home to home daily. I couldnt recommend her enough. Anytime i need childcare again, i am confident my children will be happy here. Thank you for your hardwork!

Donna is very highly recommended, my son has been with Donna since he was 2 and is now over 5, he absolutely loves being with Donna and the other children. Donna does everything she can to make sure the children are happy and have lots of things to do and toys to play with. Donna also ensures the children are learning at the same time as playing which I feel is very important for their development. My son is an amazing little boy and I feel Donna has played a big part in making him the person he is today therefore I am very thankful.
We are starting a new chapter soon as my little girl who is currently 9 months will also be going to Donnas in the next few months of which myself, my partner and son are really looking forward to!

My daughter has been going to Donna’s since she was 1 year old (she is now 5). Donna as well as Charlotte and Gary have helped my daughter progress over the years. She sends photos throughout the day so you feel you are not missing out. It’s hard leaving your child with a stranger but from the moment we met Donna and we knew our daughter would be well looked after and our shy little girl settled very quickly and feels part of the family now. If you need a childminder I’d highly recommend Donna she does her job but does it with so much love and she cares so much about all the children she looks after

My children have been with Donna for a couple of years now and they love it. Since they have been going with Donna my boys have come on leaps and bounds they are confident and independent. Donna is always accommodating for our needs and will make the time to send us pictures of what the boys are up to, writes a day log of what they had done she takes them out and makes crafts for different occasions.
Leaving your children with a childminder is difficult but I am so glad we found Donna she made me feel relaxed and comfortable leaving my children with her and she makes my boys feel welcome and safe.

Donna couldnt come more highly recommened.like most parents we were very wary of sending our son to a childminder however after a visit to donnas house we just clicked straight away.my husband was adament we wouldnt find a good one but how wrong was he.we all went to her house and met her and her family and as soon as we left we knew she was the one for us.my son has been going to her for nearly 2 years now and he loves her and her family.she really does go above and beyond for the kids (and the parents) she does all messy stuff and also takes the children out for days in half terms. Her family are very welcoming and for my son its like home from home. I really dont know what we would do without Donna. She always send photos on a daily basis so you can see what ur child is up to as well.She treats every child like her own.
if you are looking for a childminder please contact Donna for yourself and you wont be dissapointed in the slightest.
Not only a childminder but a friend for life.x
