Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Ellaine. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Our daughter has been going to Ellaine's 2 days a week since January 2024. As parents embarking on the childcare journey for their first child, for the first time, we honestly could not be happier with the level of care. From day one, Ellaine's innate warmth and care made our daughter feel at home, and us reassured. Ellaine goes above and beyond to do new things with her, exercising her developing mind which has provoked many new interesting conversations when she arrives home.
Ellaine has also been a wonderful support and guide with things like potty training and when her younger sister arrived.
We can't thank Elaine enough for making this journey such a pleasure and could not recommend her highly enough.

Nanna has become a hugely important person in our lives, looking after our daughter from age 1yr to almost 3yr and we hope will continue intermittently alongside our new baby son.
Nanna creates a special environment where children thrive in a happy calm world away from home. Our daughter never looked back from day one.
Nanna is a grandma figure with special expertise in bringing up children to be happy, confident and social beings.
Nanna helped to raise our daughter through walking, talking, eating, singing, playing, counting. Our daughter has flourished in her care.
She has formed special friendships with her friends at Nannas.
We are eternally grateful for Ellaine providing a home away from home and an extended family which Delphine and our family cherish.

Nana is committed to provided a homely, safe and engaging childminding provision. Both our children transitioned to Nana’s super easily, they loved it from day one and they felt like they have gained another family. Ellaine’s house is great - super clean, organised and has a fabulous garden where the children play for hours together. They love being in a home setting (especially at a young age) and she treats them like they are a part of her family. She give them so much love and reassurance alongside clear boundaries and high expectations.
Ellaine is so flexible and helpful. She never adds to our stress - she looks at how she can help our entire family and takes stress away from us.
She is extremely knowledgeable about child development and the early years but always listens to you and if you have any concerns. Our children have absolutely thrived with her. She keeps them safe, healthy and well fed. She has worked with us to develop our children’s social skills and speech. All the children in Nana’s care become so confident with their speech and love chatting away. She has developed their knowledge (colours, numbers, vocabulary etc) through crafts, trips in the local area and a wide variety of activities. She always knows what our children’s next steps are and works with them to develop these.
Nana is very much part of our family and has nurtured and given us so much care and love . We know that the children will grow up going to Nana’s and she has played a large role in the amazing toddlers they have both become.
Ellaine is extremely reliable and understands the stress presented to working parents. She has never closed during our time with her and always communicates holidays well in advance.

Ellaine/“Nanna” has taken care of our son for 3.5 years and our daughter so far now for 1.5 years.
The kids (and us!) love and respect her 100% and it really has felt like we are dropping our kids off to a family member. It really feels like she loves the kids as her own and shows them so much genuine love.
She is a great support to us parents too and has often gone out her way to help us.
We can’t recommend Ellaine enough

Thank you xxx
Our son went to Ellaine’s for three days, and then four days a week, from 10 months up until he was 2.5. He loved his time there and still says he would like to go visit! Ellaine’s care is nurturing and she takes a firm but fair approach. She has a great sense of humour, she is relaxed but offers advice, when needed, from all of her experience of having children, grandchildren and the many children she has been a childminder for. She cooks lovely homely meals and really understands each child’s needs and quirks! We highly recommend.
