Oliver celebrated his second anniversary at Cheeky Chops on 21st March 2013. He started at six months old and I couldn't be happier with the care received over the last two years. Being a single parent who works full time, it's the best feeling in the world to drop Oliver off in a morning knowing he's going to have an action packed and fun-filled day.

I really speak highly enough of Cheeky Chops. Lisa, her husband Mark and their three children are the nicest family you could ever wish to meet. Oliver loves each and every one of them dearly. Mark is also Ofsted Registered so should Lisa be off for any reason, Mark can step in. Their lovely house is in a nice area with beautiful enclosed garden for the children to enjoy outdoor play. The dedicated activity rooms are well equipped, providing children with diverse activities to assist with their learning and development. Oliver is always coming home with pictures, cards, crafts and baking. Oliver is a very inquisitive and adventurous little boy by nature who has a tendency to get bored if not stimulated but this is never the case at Cheeky Chops as they're always doing something fun and interesting.

I love the fact the children are taken on days out to places such as play centres, outdoor activity centres, farms, parks, libraries, children's centres - the list goes on. I truly believe trips like these enhance their development, behaviour and social skills whilst also being great fun. You just don't get this diversity of activities at a nursery.

I went to look around some nurseries before finding Cheeky Chops and was definitely not enamoured with the concept of sending Oliver to such an environment. Peace of mind is essential when entrusting your child's care to someone else and I just didn't have this feeling with the nurseries I viewed. Finding Cheeky Chops was the best thing that could have possibly happened. The care is more personal, far more interactive and adapted according to the requirements of each child, thus maximising their development.

The menu at Cheeky Chops is varied and well balanced and Oliver usually has second helpings of most meals!

The level of communication from Cheeky Chops is also exceptional. I receive an update on Oliver's day every night at collection time. I receive regular newsletters, photos and videos and can also keep up to date through the Cheeky Chops Facebook page. This is a great tool for our family too, enabling them to keep up to date with Oliver's progress, even though they don't see him as often as they'd like.

All of the Children in Lisa's care adore both her and her family. We parents struggle to get our children out of the door at collection time, which is true testament to just how much they love being at Cheeky Chops - they don't want to leave!

I truly can't recommend Cheeky Chops highly enough. We all want the best for our children and I've most definitely found it in terms of childcare. Oliver and I would be lost without Cheeky Chops.

If you're looking for a childminder who will love and care for your child as much as you do, then look no further.
