My daughter started with Diana in 2020 when the setting just opened up for the little ones. As a new parent, I was very suspicious and very anxious when leaving my daughter with someone else but Diana put me at ease from the very first day.
My child had a great bond with her Childminder and often she would get upset when it wasn't Diana's day. It was lovely to see the bond they both had.
I was reguraly ubdated about my child's progress, and how the day went. I knew all the children and families, as it was very friendly setting where the parents and the children were all so pulite.
My child left for school in 2022, and she was ready! Her language, behaviour, attitude to learning were great. She knew her numbers, shapes, etc and as the teacher said during our first parents evening " she must have been in a high learning environment previously as she is where she should be".
If I ever have more children they will all come to Diana as I am sure they will get the highest quality care and attention.
I can highly recommend this provider, especially if you need someone to prepare your child for the primary school.

Thank you souch for your review.Hoping you are all well.
I have used this services for over a year now and I can only say positive things about Diana. She definitely is the most carrying and friendly person I know. The care my child receives is amazing! We know how each day went, we talk to Diana daily and we are very happy with the care and attention provided.
Diana knows our child very well now, she was able to introduce our girl to a new environment very smoothly and we never have to worry while going to work.
Through the day, we receive messages and undates and Diana uses online learning journals, which is great as we can see our child, and what she has been doing on " Diana's days".
Diana is very easy to talk to, goes beyond her job duty and have a great relationship with the kids and families. Everyone I've spoken to highly recommend this childcare provider and to be honest, we are extremely happy with services provided.
Definitely recommend if you are looking for quality care, with highly engaged childminder and lovely family setting.
For me the online learning journals, CCTv, secure garden are main points, as I know my child is well kept, safe and sound.
Go for it! You won't regret it!
