Donna and her assistant Kaitlyn are a great team & my daughter loves them both so much that we are going full time. My daughter is 2 1/2 and has learnt so much since being part time that I feel confident I can finally go back to full time work. I trust Donna and I am happy with everything! Highly recommend.

Donna is an amazing childminder, my daughter started going to her when she was 10 months old and has loved it ever since. She is always excited to go in and has the best time there. She has developed amazingly in her time with Donna, with her speech and how she plays. Donna uses different ways to develop children’s skills by playing and doing craft activities. She is a very nurturing childminder and I know that my daughter is being thoroughly cared for. Donna is very attentive and I know my daughter gets all the attention she desires. She has a great space with lots of toys and activities and a great outside space for the children.

My two girls have been looked after by Donna for over a year now. She has been very flexible an always helped me out last minute if plans change. My daughters absolutely love her and she provides a very fun, educational, & family setting for the kids. My eldest also has type 1 diabetes and Donna has learnt & managed how to support her with her additional needs at times. I would not hesitate in recommending Donna, she is an asset to my children’s lives.

I could have not ask for a better person to take care of my little girl. My little girl has been going to Donna for the last year and half. Donna has thought her so much and she is very happy to wake up and go there, every day there is plenty of learning activities indoor and outdoors. We receive videos, pictures and updated trough out the day. Donna has been more than a child minder to me and my family she has been like a family to us. Always there to help and support when needed for my little princess. I can’t thank you enough Donna

Donna has been caring for my LO since he was 9 months old and she is everything I had hoped to find in a childminder, she has been instrumental in my sons development with a collaborative approach ensuring he is hitting his developmental milestones.
She is extremely mly professional and ensures she provides regular updates on how my sons day is going/has gone.
She has a loving & kind manner with my son which always makes the daily drop offs easy and this has been the case since day one. As a mother there's nothing more daunting than leaving your child with someone you barely know but Donna made the process so easy and I'm glad I chose her.
I definitely would very much recommend Donna if you are looking for your child to be in a caring fun and safe environment.
