I couldn’t be more grateful for Barbara and the incredible care she provides for my son, Kai. From the moment I entrusted him to her, it was clear that Barbara is not just a childminder but a truly caring and dedicated professional who has a natural gift with children. Kai started when he was around 13 months and was extremely clingy with myself at the time- honestly I thought it would be impossible to send him to a childminder/nursery but she sprinkled her magic and eased Kai into it and after a few tears from both sides, he settled and I can honestly say he adores her!

Barbara’s approach to childcare is warm, nurturing, and full of enthusiasm. She creates an environment where Kai feels safe, valued, and excited to learn every day. Whether it's through imaginative play, fun learning activities, or outdoor adventures, Barbara always knows how to make each day special and engaging. Her ability to tailor activities to Kai’s interests and developmental needs is impressive. It's clear she really takes the time to understand him, and this personalised approach has made a huge difference in his confidence and growth.

What sets Barbara apart is not only her experience and expertise but the genuine love and care she shows. Kai looks forward to his time with her, and it’s heartwarming to see the positive impact she’s had on his social skills, learning, and overall well-being. I truly consider myself lucky to have found Barbara, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any parent seeking a caring, capable, and compassionate childminder.

Thank you Mary Poppins aka Barbara, for everything you do for Kai!
