Barbara and Cindy have been an amazing addition to my son Tobias's life. Everyday he can't wqit to push us out of the door so he can get on and play. I love getting the videos and photos everyday to let me know how he is getting on.

I know others have said it before, but this is really is
a “home away from home” that offers a warm and loving environment for your little one to grow. Barbara and her team are warm, welcoming, understanding, engaging, honest, respectful and you can see truly love what they do. I’m so happy we found her and would recommend them with 100% confidence.

For a single parent as a mother who had to go to work early in the morning was great finding someone like Barbara to leave my son with as he normally doesn't stay with anyone he doesn't know but with Barbara, Cindy and Lily-Rose it was completely different. It was as if he felt at home at Barbara's. He would always ring the bell or knock the door smiling and happy to be there and going there. My son used to be a fussy eater but since taking him to Barbara his appetite has improved considerably and eats really well now. Settling sessions were great because my son was sooo at ease that if you saw him you thought he had been there all the time or from the day he was born. Barbara you, Lily-Rose and Cindy are fantastic. Thank you for everything x. You are a God send xx.

Aunty Barbara and the girls are unbelievable with my daughter (she literally jumps out of my hands every morning).

I wanted childcare in a home like setting where my child could play, interact with other children, learn, fed homely meals, together with being shown love and care, all of which I feel my daughter gets with Barbara and her team.

I am sent videos throughout the day which I love so I can get a glimpse of what she's up to whilst I work.

Barbara is very aware when a child isn't themselves, my daughter recently was poorly and thanks to Barbaras quick vigilance, i could collect her and get her diagnosed before it developed into something more serious.

Thank you for everything ladies - see you tomorrow!

I had to go back to work 4 days a week when my son was just 9 months old. I was really nervous because he had only ever been with me and my husband, and cried if anyone else held him. He’s been with Auntie B for a month now and he’s become so confident and will let anyone hold him, started saying Mamma, and learnt to crawl. Having auntie B has made going back to work so easy because I know they genuinely love him and he’s so happy there.

Auntie Barbara and her team are absolutely fantastic with our daughter. She settled really quickly and when I drop her off she’s so quick to go in and start her day. This was a really important thing for me and Barbara’s warm and caring personality means that the kids love her. Our daughter has improved her language and never stops singing nursery rhymes since she’s being going to Barbara’s. She loves the toys and being with Barbara, Cindy and Lily-Rose. Barbara is flexible to you and your child’s needs and I would highly recommend her and her team.

I just wanted to write and say how lovely we found Barbara and her setting when visiting this weekend.

Unfortunately we can’t send our son there due to my partner’s work but that’s a real shame because he was so happy there when we visited.

The setting is bright, warm and welcoming. The space is huge and filled with exciting toys for children to play with.

Barbara is a warm and lovely person who is obviously very passionate about her job and really loves what she does.

Barbara has been an absolute godsend! As a first time mother leaving my one year old to return to work was an extremely daunting time, and topped with a previous bad experience I was very anxious.
From the very start Barbara made both of us so at ease. Her settling in sessions were lovely and a vital part of the transition. The setting is beautiful, safe and so stimulating with colour a and educational toys everywhere. My daughter used to cry as soon I left a room, now however, her days with Barbara and her two amazing assistants are so much fun that she starts clapping and cheering as soon as we turn into her road in the morning! Her speech has started to come on leaps and bounds, also her interaction with other children. Barbara provides yummy and nutritious food which my daughter enjoys very much! Throughout the day I am sent lovely pics and videos showing what activities they are doing.
I could not recommend this setting enough. Barbara is a beautiful, caring soul who has captured both mine and my daughters hearts.
An outstanding level of childcare and a feeling of warmth and support for both children AND parents!

It took me around 8 months to find Barbra, through a friend’s recommendation and when I finally found her and decided to put my first son with her my life has completely changed. I knew when I met her and visited her setting that my son would be happy and well looked after. She made us feel very welcome and made the transition into her home very easy. I was the one who was suffering seperation anxiety but yet she managed to calm me abd assure me straightaway with her professional approach and her commitment to her work. I knew I could find peace of mind while my son was at hers. Would definetly recommend her especially for first time anxious parents like me.
