Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Erica. 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.
I have peace of mind while I’m at work because I know my son is being well looked after by Erica. He simply loves her, he smiles when I park to drop him off, and sometimes I have a hard time trying to take him home as he wants to stay more at her house!
She is extremely organised. She plans her day and week in a way that they have plenty of social activities, nature interactions.
She stimulates each kid according to their age and own characteristics by playing, reading, singing and crafting.
She is also concerned about providing balanced meals and a good environment for nap times.
She gives feedback about the child’s development. And keeps me informed about how the day is going throughout messages, videos and pictures.
Erica is a caring, enthusiastic and trustworthy professional. Who is constantly seeking courses and ways to improve herself and her business.

I love my Little ones. Thank you.
Erica has surprised us with her amazing care for our 1.5 year old son. He is very happy with Erica. We are impressed with her structured and methodical approach in her teaching the children everyday. Her setting is warm and welcoming, and she encourage the children to explore and she makes the children feeling safe and secured, and that is really what every parents need. We can see the children will benefit from her long term chilcare. We admire her passion, her innovative approach and her heartfelt care for the children. Her food looks so yummy and our son has been eating extremely well and contented with a big smile.

Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
see you soon.
Erica has always done a fantastic job when looking after my child. She has a lovely way with children and she knows how to make them feel settled and safe in a new environment. Erica is flexible and understands the anxiety a parent feels when leaving their child for the first time; she put both me and my child at ease. I am very grateful to have Erica near by to baby sit when I need her, I highly reccomend her services!
