Diane has been looking after my 1 year old daughter for 3 months now and my daughter is always so happy to arrive. Really pleased with Diane’s childcare services.

Diane has been looking after my two children Ollie 11 and Bel 9 for the past two years after a big move from Cornwall to Oakham. As a single parent, in a new place, her help, support and kindness has been invaluable to us as a family. My children enjoyed all the home comforts of great food, lovely surroundings and a mixture of ages of children to play and grow with, and have become great friends with Diane's children.
School holidays proved tricky for me and Diane took everything in her stride helping me to keep the children fully occupied with fun days out, gardening and cooking activities, games and chill out time in the perfect combination. I highly recommend her services.

Diane looked after my 3 year old son for 9 months. Due to a house and job move all at the same time I was very anxious that he would take a while to settle down. I needn't have worried Diane's environment was ideal for him she has a relaxed approach whilst maintaining her high professional standards he bonded well with her own children as well as the other minded children in her care easily.
They participated in many toddler groups throughout the week I received a new piece of art work every day. They frequently went to the local parks in all weathers which my son loves. Regular visitors to the local soft play.
Since his time with Diane my son has learnt a whole host of new skills from creative skills like baking and painting right through to social skills and speech and language development.
My son attended Diane's setting during her most recent offstead inspection and it really is easy to see why she received such high praise from the inspectors. Every child in her care is treated like and individual with all of their needs met as she takes the time to get to know each one she adapts her care around them.
I have been a working mum since my son was 6months old and I have now given up work to look after my son myself as I feel I have spent enough time away from him. However if I was to continue to work I would not hesitate to entrust my children with Diane she is a kind and caring professional person who we all miss greatly.

Diana looked after our 5 year old son in 2015
During that time, he received exceptional levels of care from Diane and was made to feel like a member of the family, with home cooked meals, lots of stimulation in a safe, caring and creative environment. Diane offers the ideal balance of friendly, professional care for your children and we can't recommend her more highly.

Diane looked after my first daughter from 1 year of age until she was 2.5 and went to nursery on a regular basis and has looked after her on occasion since. She very quickly established a close bond with her. I never had tears on the doorstep and in the early days on a number of occasions my daughter held out her arms to Diane upon leaving and didn't want to come home and latterly it has been difficult to drag her away. Diane treated my daughter as one of her own and I know that she is attentive to children in her care, as people have fedback to me where they have seen her at various groups with nothing but positive comments. Diane spends lots of time on creative activities and everyday I had colouring to take home and often lots of handprints which I love. She also goes to a different park on most days and there was always lots of garden time. For a limited time Diane also cared for my younger child until she moved and again my daughter very quickly established a bond and we were very disappointed to lose such a maternal and trustworthy childminder. I would have no hesitation in recommending Diane as a childminder and now consider her to be a friend too. My children will miss her and her family very much.

Diane has cared for both our children (now 6 years and 3 years old) for the passed two and a half years. She cares for the children she looks after as she cares for her own, with great compassion and understanding. Diane always welcomes the children warmly, completes many activities with them including arts and crafts, cooking and role playing. She takes them to play groups and the park regularly, which they love. We have been so lucky to have Diane looking after our children as she has given us complete peace of mind. We only wish she was staying nearby so we could continue with our children in her care.

Diane has been looking after my daugher for over a year. She looks after Sophie as if she is her own. She is always doing something with the children she looks after, from going out to toddler groups to cooking, playing, colouring etc.
I work shifts, so Diane is extremely flexible and will accomodate an early drop off.
Diane always greets us with a smile on her face (even at 630am). Sophie is always excited to arrive at Dianes, and disappointed to come home. Diane`s family are brilliant, her two children are great with Sophie and her husband is very friendly and supportive.
Unfortunately the time has come, and Diane is moving away. This is a great shame for us, but we wish her well and whoever gets to use her as a child minder is very lucky.

Diane became our childminder in 2012, at the time our twin had just turned two. I saw Diane with one a child she was minding at a music class, and thought she treat the child just like a mummy, she engaged in everything the child said and did.
Every time we arrived at Diane's house she get to there level and talk to them, and ask about their week. She offered healthy and tasty meals, that my two loved. It was very much a family home and her children enjoyed having my two, and included them in their actives.
A truly lovely genuine lady, who I would recommend to anyone.
