I believe i go beyond the role of most childminders and will do all i can for my families. Your childs needs are my number one priority . Please do come and visit me and always go by instinct when visiting childminders . I strongly believe childminders give far more than nursery. So much more one to one attention and planned daily activities and outtings around your childs interests and needs. I live near St. Marks hospital.

I nearly gave up hope of finding my 10 month old daughter a childminder, until I came across Louise. She instantly made me feel relaxed and calm and was so friendly and welcoming with my little one. Now my daughter is 2 and she absolutely adores Louise! So much so that she cries when I pick her up!! I know Louise genuinely cares for all the children and wants them to have the best time in her care. She takes them out almost every day to parks, soft plays, garden centres (to see the fish/reptiles), farms, Clivedon, library for nursery rhyme time, playgroups etc etc! This is so good for their development and nursery doesn’t match up! A school mum friend of mine saw Louise at a softplay and commented on how engaging she was with the children actually getting in and playing/interacting with them. That is just how she is….providing the best possible care and love. I regularly receive photos and updates of what they have been up to and Louise also helps the children make Mothers/Fathers day, Easter/Xmas cards etc which is a lovely touch. Her house is cosy, warm, light and bright with 100’s of toys for the children! My daughter loves it there and excitedly runs in every morning. Louise is just simply the best! So glad we found her!!

Louise is the best childminder we could have ever chosen. She's been looking after my 2 daughters since age 1 and it's been such a nice experience, she's so caring and lovely but the kids are also learning so much and making friendships. I'm very happy we found Louise, kids love her and she's such a nice person, always helps when we need extra hours.

Our experience with Louise has been excellent. She is an exceptionally caring individual who has a natural affinity with children.
Louise looks after children of mixed ages, manages the dynamic brilliantly, with all children mixing well and having lots of fun.
She is brilliantly calm and my daughter loves spending time there after school.
We only wish we’d found her sooner!

Louise is a real treasure for the children she cares for, treating them like her own. A kind and loving childminder, she’s great at handling a variety of different personalities and bringing out the best in the kids she spends time with. She is very organised and operates with an easy-going but professional manner – she knows the area well and has a good network of other childminders, which means her kids get to experience a wide range of activities available in the local area.
Our daughter spent over 3 years with Louise and has honestly loved every minute of it – she’s grown into a confident and outgoing young girl, with a good balance of discipline and curiosity. Louise has got bags of energy and as a group, they are always out and about having fun and learning, seeing the world (parks, farms, softplay, playgroups, local events etc.), and enjoying experiences that frankly, you don’t get at a nursery.
Communication is good and she regularly shares pictures and videos of their adventures, which as a parent is important in understanding how your little one is developing and living their life. She has a wide range of toys that cater for different ages and keep them engaged, and our daughter regularly comes home singing a new song that she’s learned! Location is also good, with a large park within walking distance.
I thoroughly recommend Louise - we’ve felt comfortable with her since the start and talking with other parents of children she looks after, there’s a unanimous opinion that she is simply the best!

What can I say about Louise - she is kind, caring, patient, nurturing, professional childminder who provides a home from home! My daughter loves going to see Louise, and always has the best time!
From the moment I met Louise I just had this good feeling, Louise has a relaxed and friendly demeanor and that I knew Darcey would be well cared for. She takes the children out to parks, music groups, day trips etc and her home is full of wonderful toys and opportunities for the children to develop and learn. It looks like she has so much fun every time she goes!
Louise provides plenty of photos from her days there and feedback to me on her development and what they have been up to. I know that if Darcey is upset Louise will care for her as if she was her own and that makes all the difference.
I've already recommended Louise to other parents I know - I would definitely get in touch and go meet her yourself.
