Winnie's Reviews

Home from Home

Winnie started looking after my daughter when she was just 10 months old, having been highly recommended by other parents in Merton Park, Margot is now nearly four and considers Winnie and Julie as family. I have always felt enormously comforted by her willingness and excitement to go each day, which is testament to Winnie’s ability to make their experience and learning different on a daily basis.

They enjoy a huge variety of activities, from painting to crafts, baking and trips outdoors. I have been so impressed with Margot’s ability to sit and listen to stories, count, hold her pencil and to recognise colours and shapes, which is all down to the hard work of the team at Winnie’s.

Above all else the environment that she creates is safe, friendly, fun and always caring. Having experienced a troubling episode with my son’s nursery I really appreciate the continuity of care and the knowledge that Margot’s well being is at the heart of Winnie’s interests.

I couldn’t recommend Winnie more highly. Her setting is wonderful and all of the children adore her - as do the parents.

She has also been absolutely fantastic throughout the pandemic.

My son now attends Winnie’s after school and he absolutely adores his afternoons. They are always fun packed and more like a play-date than conventional wraparound care. It is wonderful to see the different age groups interact with each other in such a caring and respectful way.

Excellent Childminder

I moved my daughter to Winnie’s setting after a period of unsettling change at her old nursery. Within a week of being in her care, the change in my daughter back to her usual happy self was incredible. Winnie is highly professional, has a great support team, does a variety of activities with the children, wonderful arts and crafts, gives them lots of time outdoors in her lovely garden and is always thinking of fun, new things to do with them. Pre covid this included some lovely trips out too. My daughter loves being in her safe, happy setting. I am so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her highly enough.
