We were recommended Annette and Tony's childcare by two different people, a colleague who had used them and another local childminder. We were looking for that magical combination of a childminders with enough other children to develop social skills and confidence but also personal and focused care with a variety of activities and learning opportunities. And to our delight, we found it all and more with Annette and Tony!

Our son has been with them for nearly a year now. The children and their childcare setting is truely their passion and the care they provide for our son, and us as his parents, is remarkable. They go the extra mile with everything and above and beyond what we could have imagined. They plan each week around a new theme and book: the daily activities, outings and food all reflect the theme. We get goodies and crafts sent home all week, often delicious home baked goods! They take the children out on lots of different excursions and to different play groups and their home and garden is perfectly set up with multiple play/activity areas. They update us daily on an app with pictures and info and their communication, planning and paperwork is excellent.

They've been flexible with our needs, always reassuring and really helped to ease me into going back to work and my son to settle into his new environment - everyday I pick him up he is smiling and so happy. Can't recommend them highly enough!
