Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
We swapped our daughter from mainstream nursery to childminding due to her autism amd my health needs. This was back in September and her younger sister joined her. Both have high SEND needs and Viola and Dean have been very helpful helping our daughters grow and become more independent with every day tasks such as tidying up, socialising, confidence and learning about the world through outdoor play and outings. Our eldest daughter has come on leaps and bound from the shy child she was in the last educational setting, who saw her as a burden. We couldn't be more grateful for the flexibility and kindness that Viola has bought to our family. She's even given my son a space for May when he turns 9 months old.
Both our girls are fed amazing nutritious meals in the afternoon and evening for tea, and always are eating!
I couldn't recommend this lovely lady and her partner more. Thank you both so much!

I needed an occasional weekend childminder close to work for my 1 year old son and came across Viola on the website. During our first introductory meeting, my husband and I had a very good feeling that our son will enjoy his time. I can honestly say he more than enjoyed himself. Viola was so sweet and loving, took him to the park and beach. Also updated me at intervals during the day of his activities. She was amazing and I would recommend her 100% with peace of mind

My one year old girl has been with viola for just over a month now, and honestly in such little time she has been amazing with her, my daughter would scream when left with anyone but soon as she sees viola she is so happy and goes straight to her !! Viola is an amazing warm caring loving person, has endless amount of time for my daughter, she meets all her needs and when i collect my daughter she is so happy, viola is happy to help in any way she can and goes extra mile for you, im so happy i made this choice and wouldn't have anyone else care for my daughter, would highly recommend viola to care for your children i cannot praise her enough.
She also has had my older daughter during holidays she was so happy and loved spending time there and cannot wait to go back

It has been 5 months that my son goes to Viola's tiney home nursery and he has been absolutely fine and happy there. She takes proper care of him and makes sure all his physical and mental health needs are met. She is an understanding and kind woman, who helps parents leave their children in her nursery with full confidence and peace of mind. I can see that my son's confidence level is growing since he is with Viola. When my son is with her i am confident that he is on the safe hands. Highly recommended to parents who are looking for a childminder.

I was desperately looking for a good childminder that my kids would feel comfortable going to as we had just relocated just under a year. I contacted a number of child minders but when Viola responded even from her messages she sounded so friendly and understanding. When I met her with my kids they it was like meeting an old friend and my kids settled in immediately. She took them to places where they explored and were able to have fun and learn on their trips out.
My kids now won't go anywhere else even after we've moved further away!!!
Viola herself is so caring and attentive to each of my kids individual needs. She's the best!!

Came across violas profile and was instantly impressed. We messaged viola for emergency baby sitting for our little baby, viola was more than happy to have her straight away. When we arrived we had such a warm and loving welcome by viola and her children. A loving happy family home with regular hourly updates. Couldn’t recommend viola enough our baby settled so well and was comfortable. Thank you ☺️

Me and my children 4 and 9 met with Viola at her house, prior to babysitting at ours. Her and her children were very welcoming and my kids warmed to her straightaway. We've had 1 successful session of babysitting and have a couple more planned in. She's very friendly and affectionate with my children and they love her company.

Viola looks after our 2 year old Zak. She is flexible, understanding, friendly and amazing with kids. Zak totally settles in with her and enjoys his time with her. We couldn’t recommend her more.

Viola is a lovely woman. My toddler settled in straight way even though he's usually a little funny with strangers. She kept me updated with photo's. He loved it so much he kept asking to go back. Highly recommended!

Viola is just not an amazing babysitter, she is a wonderful human being. I feel so relieved leaving my children with her. Im certain the children will have loads of creative activities, care and love while they are with her.

I met with Viola before taking my son to her house. She put all of my worries to rest straight away and is so open and down to earth. I have never used anything like this before and the job was an overnight stay at her house, she said she would keep me updated with how my son was doing with photos and videos over WhatsApp and she done exactly that. She is so professional and caring. My son went straight to her and settled in straight away within minutes of meeting her. Will definitely be using again!

With a clear conscience I can recommend Viola. She is a very open, caring and loving person. My daughter loves her. They spend their time very actively and creatively. Viola approaches children very individually, pays attention to their needs. I really recommend :)

My children took to Viola as soon as they met her. They said she was a very kind person when I asked. She presented as calm and confident in handling my children and felt no worries at all.

Thank you Bridget for your trust! We built a very strong bond with your boys!
Your family have very big part in my heart! 🤗
Viola has been looking after my two girls for a while now, collecting them from school and is a fabulous childminder. She is very friendly, helpful and adores children; my children and I have complete trust in her. She has a lovely way with children and comes up with lovely activities for them. I would definitely recommend her.
