Wendy has been an absolute life saver and amazing childminder for my 5 year old son. She nurtured a shy little school starter into a confident little boy interacting with all! She cares about every child in her house as if it is her own and she provides the best meals (according to my son better than mine) and clean, safe house with the best garden any kid can ask for. She is flexible and made every effort to put my mind at ease about how my son was getting on whilst he was with her (I am one of those constant texting to check-if-everything-is-okay-mums!) I cannot recommend her highly enough. As a working mother we always feel so guilty not being able to pick up our kids from school, but going to Wendy's house is such a treat for them it makes you feel so much better, I promise!

After a recommendation from someone at work my daughter started at Wendy's when she was 10 months old and has spent a very happy two years with her. Wendy has a wealth of experience which for me as a first-time mum really helped with the settling in process, establishing a routine and many other questions I have had about toddlers along the way! She has instilled excellent manners and high expectations of behaviour which was very important to me to see my daughter learning about sharing and how to behave towards others. My daughter has been cared for with love and as one of the family by Wendy and all her helpers and talks about them all the time during the holidays. The children have a great time doing lots of different activities including lots of time outside in Wendy's all weather garden. All of this is documented in detail in the fabulous learning journals that Wendy produces with lots of photographs and detail about their development. From a practical point of view Wendy has always been very flexible if I have had meetings after work and have needed different pick up times and I have never had to find alternative childcare in the whole two years. It has been invaluable finding someone who I can leave my daughter with in the knowledge that she will be safe and happy while I am out at work and I would recommend Wendy whole-heartedly.

We had just moved in Bishop's Stortford and only had had a brief contact with Wendy when our 3 year old son started with her two full days a week besides preschool. He loved it from our first visit when he saw the great outdoor space, the toys and the slide in the garden!
Being educators ourselves, we were looking for a childminder who would be nurturing but firm and able to adapt to our son's interests to help him grow and get ready for school. We have been really pleased with Wendy in that respect. She has a genuine love for children and supports each one of them to flourish through the learning experiences she provides.
Wendy has also been very flexible to adapt to our changing schedules in the course of the year and has been a great support to us. She is also available for parents and I have greatly appreciated that she has taken the time to chat/e-mail whenever needed. Our communication has been great and I can say that I have left my child in her hands with the peace of mind that he was being cared for just as if he were with family. I am delighted and looking forward to our son returning to Wendy's before and after school as he starts Reception this September .

My son went to Wendy in the afternoons for the year he attended the local nursery. He is now going on to reception and is very sad to not be going to play at Wendy's anymore. I can't recommend her enough, she has a fantastic balance of fun and caring for the children but retains the authority (which my son particularly needs). The setting is amazing and she has staff to help so has never let us down with sickness ect. If you are looking for a childminder visit Wendy she's fab!!!!!

What can I say about Wendy? I'm not quite sure what I would do without her! Nothing is a problem and she is flexible in a pinch, which is so important when you are stuck in a meeting 40 miles away. Wendy has looked after my baby girl since 31 March and I'm certain she treats her as one of her own beloved children, with lots of kisses and cuddles. Every day when I walk away from Wendy's house having dropped my little darling off, I'm confident she will have lots of fun and, more importantly, that she is in safe hands.

We found Wendy when we were in a fix needing a variety of ever-changing care requirements shortly before the summer of 2013. She helped us through that time and now has our toddler twins 5 days and does wrap-around care for our eldest who is in reception. Wendy is fantastic with the kids, they love going to her house, and we see daily evidence that they are receiving the sort of care and stimulation that we want for our children. Wendy also looks after us as we learn "the way of things" at our local school (Hillmead Parents 101!).
We are very happy to have found her and hope to remain in her care for many years to come.

Wendy has looked after our son and daughter since the 1st June and we could not be happier. I love the homely environment; there is always a variety of stimulating activities and fun things for the kids to do. Wendy’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my son and daughter have great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. She has plenty of space in the garden, which is fantastic as both my children love to be outdoors, and Wendy provides many opportunities for outside play. It did not take my 18 month old son long to settle in when he started, and even whilst on our summer break away from Wendy’s care he will often mention her name. My daughter is always keen to get to Wendy’s after school. This is a reflection of the time and attention Wendy gives both of them and certainly, the sort of care every parent would want for his or her children. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wendy to other parents.

Wendy looked after my daughter from the age of 3 months and I could not have asked for better care. From day one Wendy showed that she wanted the best for her and treated her like one of her own. The experiences provided allowed my daughter to quickly thrive and develop into a happy enquisitive little girl. Trips to the farm, cooking, painting, sharing puzzles and stories or music sessions (to name but a few). All these experiences were shared in her learning journal and in daily conversations.
If I ever had a worry (as us mums do) Wendy was always there with supportive advice.
This loving and inviting home was the best place for my daughter to begin her early days and I cannot thank Wendy enough for the hard work she put in.
I would recommend Wendy to any family who want to give their children the best care available, without having to worry whilst at work, you will know straight away your child is in great care!

What can we say about wendy?............. only good things
Our daughter went to Wendy from 9 months old and stayed with her for two years and she loved every minute of it, Wendy treated her like one of her own and you can tell she genuinely loves children.
She is super organised and has all the gear for every occasion giving you confidence that that your child will always be well looked after.She took our little girl on many days out and gave her many experiences which were all documented and photos taken which really made us feel part of it.
We are sure we would still use Wendy to this day but we moved out of the area, however we still keep in touch and would recomend her to anyone for wonderful care of their children.

Wendy was involved in my two boys lives for 7 years, looking after each of them from 5 months old. She nurtured and cared for them as a mother would her own child, giving us the confidence to be able to go to work and not worry. Being with Wendy enabled them to grow up in a home from home environment with loads of toys, a big garden, other children to play with and numerous trips out. Wendy developed a special bond with both boys and they loved going to her.
I would certainly recommend Wendy to anybody who is looking for a childminder. She's a very special person who is passionate about caring for children - you couldn't leave your child in better hands!
