My mum is my registered assistant who works with me Monday to Friday which works really well, we share childrens assessments and observations that get put into a file called a learning journey and we work well in partnership with parents to gain children's full potential.

We offer the 3-4 year old 30 hour funding (this can also be spilt between settings)

My son has been going to Hollie since he was 7 months old. He is now 4 years old. From the very beginning Hollie has been fantastic. She made the transition back to work so easy. Everyday there is an activity or a place they have gone to visit such as playgroups, softplay, parks and discos. She provides me with full updates on what he has done and eaten throughout the day as well as updates on his development.
I would 100% recommend Hollie as a childminder. She makes the children and parents feel comfortable from the beginning, she has great communication and really gives the children her time and attention. I can not praise her enough in the support she has given us as a family. She is the best!!!

Where do I start with how fantastic Hollie is, she has been looking after my son Arthur since he was 14 months old after experiencing difficulty with childcare around COVID I was so lucky to find her.
She has a very kind and caring nature and puts 100% into the children she cares for with lots of lovely outings to children groups, parks, softplays and library rhyme times and if they aren't out and about their crafting or playing or den building I also get lots of lovely updates and pics.
She's very approachable and I value her opinion highly but one of my big ticks is Arthur always comes home immaculate, all his pack lunch box washed up and being a busy working mum really helps.
We are going to be very sad to say goodbye to Hollie when Arthur starts school in September.

Hollie has looked after both my children from 9 months up to Pre school. The transition from maternity leave to back to work is always scary for yourself and your child but Hollie put my mind at ease sending constant updates throughout the day including picture. Both children loved going to her and I could tell they enjoyed their days.
As they grew they were lucky to enjoy regular trips out and attend playgroups. Their learning really improved whilst with Hollie.
Both were really sad when it was time to wave as was I as I really depended on her support and advice.
Would 100% recommended to others

Well I'm not sure where to start with the lovely Hollie! If you are a nervous first time mum like I was when she first started looking after Milo at 18 months old, then worry no more! Her home is warm and welcoming, her family are welcoming. Milo is now 4 and has started school and still goes to Hollie for a few days in the holidays, he absolutely loves it. Milo and us as a family we're so sad when he had to start school and leave Hollies House full time.
Great communication in the daytime with a breakdown of Milo's day, along with some pictures of them visiting many places, learning, baking, singing, reading, park trips. Hollie does so much with the children. Healthy snacks also provided throughout the day.
Milo sufferes with Heyfever and Asthma and Hollie has always been very accommodating and kept me up to date frequently when she had him in her care.
I wouldn't think twice about recommending Hollie to others! And I will definitely be using her again for any future children I may have!
Thanks Hollie for being a amazing part of Milo's journey up to primary school! You really are a lovely person with lots of children that think so so much of you, along with many parents!
Love
Jade, Jack and Milo!
