Steph looked after my daughter and son between the ages of 1 and 3. They always loved going to ‘Steph’s House’ and the older one was always thrilled to go back in the holidays when we needed help with childcare. I was particularly impressed with the facilities and outdoor space, and how much Steph supported us when our children were toilet training. Thanks Steph!

Steph looked after my son from age 1-4 and my daughter from 11 months to age 3. She is wonderful, the children love Steph's house and she is still on hand to help when we need her! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder

Steph looked after our son from 12months old through until he was 3+years. She has always been kind, patient and compassionate and our son built such a great bond with her. We had a seamless settling in process with her and she really made us feel at ease, which is so important when you are doing this the first time around.
She has a lovely home with a dedicated play room for the children and a spacious garden for daily outdoor play. She does lots of creative play and activities as well as regular trips to the local park. She provides a loving and caring environment for all of the children and our son would always be so excited to see her. She is great with communication and she has been very supportive through all of the various developmental stages with our son.
Steph is amazing and we would highly recommend her to any parents looking for a caring and reliable childminder.

Steph looked after our son from when he was around 9 months until he was two - we only changed setting then as we moved out of the area. We have only great things to say about her!
The setting itself is great with a dedicated playroom and her garden is full of great outdoor toys. Steph always planned fun and educational activities for the children, and our son was always coming home with pictures, planted flowers and other things he had done while he was there. Steph communicated really well with photos and videos during the day so we knew what he had been getting up to. She also has lots of experience in childcare and child development which really shows and she understood our son so well.
We're missing her already!

Our daughter attended Steph's childcare 4 days a week for 2+ years. We couldn't have been more happy with the level of care and nurturing provided by Steph. We feel incredibly lucky to have had such a wonderful childminder in our neighbourhood. Our daughter always looked forward to going to Steph's house and was extremely happy and settled there for the duration of her attendance.
The children are thoroughly well looked after and always calm and engaged. Steph's communications were always great and the setting itself is brilliant. All of the children are treated like extended family and you could clearly see how much they all love spending time there. Our daughter really benefitted from Steph's nurturing yet educational environment.
We couldn't recommend Steph highly enough!

Steph looked after our little boy from the time he was around one until he was four and ready for school, and we have nothing but great things to say about her!
Throughout the time he was with her, we always trusted Steph as a safe, caring, friendly, knowledgeable childminder. She consistently planned and provided fun and stimulating activities for all the kids, at her home and at local parks, and always provided healthy meals.
Steph's knowledge of child development meant she took a real interest in the kids' language and other developmental milestones and flagged when there were any concerns. She communicated with us often, sending pictures weekly as well as regular newsletters and other information. She always had time for a friendly chat on the doorstep.
My son was always excited to go to Steph's house and was buzzing about the fun things he'd done when he got home. Now he's at school but still often talks about and misses her.
Steph's setting is great too - she has a great playroom and a back garden with lots to play with. Her home is always clean and tidy.
