Wendy is my child’s childminder, after sending him for a few months I had to unfortunately take him out to put him in a nursery due to my shift pattern changing and Wendy being unable to accommodate the other day. He absolutely hated nursery and was asking me for Wendy, I pulled him out of nursery and changed my shifts to send him back to “his Wendy”. The best thing I ever did, he is coming on so well with his learning.
I receive regular pictures and updates throughout the day showing me how much fun he’s always having and the delicious home cooked meals she’s cooked for him and the other children. I feel as safe and happy sending my son to Wendy as I do my own mum, she is the loveliest person and I am so happy I found her on here.
I would highly recommend Wendy for any childcare to anyone Xx

Wendy has been amazing looking after my 2 boys. My youngest was only 8weeks old when Wendy started to look after them. she has been absolutely amazing.
Well at work Wendy would send me update on how both boys was doing, I would get lovely photos of the amazing work they was doing which was fantastic so I didn't have to worry.
Thomas my oldest would even ask if he could see Wendy on days he wasn't due to go, he had such a positive attitude forward her and the bond with both boys was incredible, I couldn't of asked for a better childminder so caring and understanding.

Wendy was amazing with my little girl. My little girl went to Wendy when she turned one after having a not so nice experience with a nursery. My little girl instantly settled in and took a shine to Wendy. Wendy was constantly taking the kids on days out and trips here and there. My little girl was always asking to go to Wendy’s when we was at home and even now she constantly asks to see Wendy. I couldn’t recommend Wendy enough to anyone. Thank you for everything you did for my little one Wendy 🤍

Wendy has been looking after my little boy now since December, and since day one we’ve had no tears! :)
Always happy smiley. Knows where we are every time we pull up outside he gets all excited and tries to get out of car seat before i unstrap him.
Wendy is such a lovely lady and has been very flexible for us! If I need an extra day at last minute every time she’s been able to have him for me! Prices are reasonable compared to some of the others I was looking at before I found Wendy. She always takes the kids out to toddler groups or soft play centres. Has lots of different toys for the children to play with to help stimulate their learning in a clean environment.
Lots of different yummy meals each day too.
Would 1000% recommend, hats off to you Wendy I don’t know how you do it :D

Placing my daughter in the hands of another person to look after who I didn't really know well, has been the biggest and toughest decision for me yet.
During the pandemic me and my baby had developed a special bond and also most likely separation anxiety. First time round I thought I've got it right, ive found the childminder for us the lady ticked all the right boxes, however my daughter really struggled with her, in that my daughter did not settle not even as time went on. We had no choice to leave as the childminder didn't know what to do with my daughter.
I was at a loss and I thought how would I return to work. I was then recommended Wendy by a friend who's little boy is now 8. I asked my friends little boy before contacting Wendy how did he like Wendy's house. His reply "It was so much fun" with a big smile on his face. I soon made contact with Wendy and explained the situation.
The moment we met Wendy we could see that she was so caring and professional. Wendy reassured us from the very start and with the many years of experience she has, she said we will all get through this. I was already anxious as my time was getting closer to going back to work and the first childminder didn't work out for us.
Well, we are so grateful and lucky to have found Wendy. My daughter settled in very well and soon got over the separation anxiety. We were amazed how quick she trusted Wendy and my anxiety’s soon went away also. I felt reassured that my daughter would be ok and I didn't worry whilst at work.
My daughter would open her arms to Wendy when we dropped her off, and on pick up she would always have a smile on her face. My daughter loved playing with the other children doing arts and crafts and she enjoyed eating Wendy's home cooked meals. My daughter is dairy free and Wendy made it no issue at all and catered to her needs. We got regular updates from Wendy throughout the day. My daughter was happy and developed well with her numbers and colours and talking.Wendy is an amazing childcare provider and I would definitely recommend her. She is a real natural with the children, she is flexible, understanding, positive and encouraging and passionate about her Job
Thank you Wendy. Thank you for being apart of our daughters first chapter. X
