I found Gentle Hands in a moment of need- we had some changes pre-travel which meant we needed a childminders for a short term. We contacted Gentle Hands and from the start it was professional and smooth. Paperwork was sent across in order and promptly; communication was prompt, clear and straightforward; the willingness to assist parents came through even before we met. Then we did our first visit and met the wonderful pair of sisters, Tashande and Sachia. The aura both of the place and of the sisters was compelling. They just exude quiet and gentle competence and confidence. They are clearly very experienced and the space is lovingly and creatively laid out. In truth, not only did we think we had found the perfect childminders for our child but we felt we had found a friend to parents. Our son attended for a week and if we hadn't had to travel we would have kept him attending. We are still in touch with Gentle Hands. Tashande and Sachia have poured their hearts and all their experience and care into looking after your child. I have no hesitation in recommending this childminders very highly. They care and it shows.
