My Son joined Linda when he was one. She has been soo caring and loving that he started calling her Nanna which she really has been. He has loved going to Linda , she provides a safe ,nurturing environment where my Son has developed and grown. He is polite and caring to adults and other children which i ow to her. He has been so settled with Linda that we have decided that although he is starting preschool that he will still attend Linda's too. I would highly recommend Linda as a childminder especially if you want a loving home environment with lots of fun while learning life skills.
We have been with Linda for 3 1/2 years. First with our daughter and then our son joined Linda’s care. She is caring, attentive and always happy to help. We unfortunate had to leave Linda’s care due to work arrangements but would have loved for our children to have continued with her. Thank you for everything x
My son has been going to Linda's since he was a year old. She has been amazing in that time, especially when he was struggling from separation anxiety every morning for quite a long time. When dropping him off i knew he was in safe hands, and she looked after him and the other children as if they were her own. Linda's husband and daughter were also great with the kids, with my son always talking about them when he got home.
I'm hoping she'll have availability for my second child who is due early next year!
Thanks for all your help and support over the last couple of years Linda, and parent/child would be lucky to get a space with you!
Our daughter Evelyn absolutely adored her time with Linda. She enjoyed the variety of toys and activities, lots of garden time and relaxed dogs. She always came home happy and was always keen to get inside at drop off which was really reassuring for us.
Linda’s home setting is lovely and a great homely environment for little ones. Evelyn started with her when she was just under a year old, and we always felt safe and secure leaving her there from the very beginning.
Linda was also highly flexible around extra days or change of times where her other childcare commitments allowed. This was invaluable to us as a busy pair of parents with demanding jobs.
All of us as a family will miss Linda terribly and Evelyn still talks about her and the friends she made there. I would highly recommend Linda for any childcare requirements in all aspects.
Thank you Linda! The Wellers x
Linda is a warm, kind and caring person and from the moment i met her i knew instantly she was the person I wanted to look after our son.
She made leaving my then 9 month old very easy as a first time mum with a lockdown baby.
Linda cooks lovely homemade meals every day and has introduced my son to a wide range of exciting new foods to try.
Her dogs are placid and adorable and has made my son so kind and caring towards animals as we don’t have any at home.
He loves going to Linda’s and playing with her wide range of toys, singing nursery rhymes and listening to stories. He has learnt so much and I love to see the bond he has with her. Everyday he comes out with a smile and even blows her kisses when we leave.
Our little boy has been with Linda for the past year. She provides a loving family setting, with lots of fun and cuddles.
Our son has been very happy there and very well looked after. Linda always provides freshly cooked wholesome lunches and always manages to get our boy to eat, much better than I ever can!
Linda is a joy to work with, she is friendly, understanding and patient and will always go out of her way to help us, if we need last minute childcare, are running late, or for just good advice on our son, as first-time parents.
As soon as I met Linda, I knew she was the childminder for me. She was so warm, and my son took to her immediately. The settling in sessions were wonderful and when it came to returning to work, I knew I wouldn’t have to worry about him, being in such a loving and caring environment.
I am so glad to have found Linda! She is a wonderful childminder with experience and accommodating mindset.
She offered training sessions with her prior the actual start date which were good to get my 9 month old son used to her and the home and other kids. Once started full time we have always been getting warm welcoming reception upon bringing our son there and in the afternoon a nice update of day's activities and how the day has been, what they are, did during the day and other etc.
We have been very fortunate by getting to take our son to Linda's care as she makes s true effort to ensure each kid is getting treated equally and well. She cooks kids lovely homemade warm dinners. Where there has been any dietary requests she has accommodated them very well. The house is not just a place to look after kids but it is a home with welcoming and caring environment.
The hours we had to have our son in daycare were very long and I felt a little bad at the beginning of having to leave my kid for such long time at daycare, 9 hours. But soon after we started with Linda I could relax as Linda really made the effort to ensure the house is really a home with heart and she made sure the kids were made felt that way too. My son loves to go to Linda's in the morning and he keeps learning new there every day.
There are three wonderful golden retrievers with her. They are the true ice breakers, gentle and calm and a wonderful way for kids to get used to dogs.
I can warmly recommend Linda as a childminder!
My son, Arthur has been with Linda since he was 10 months old (he is now almost 15 months) and I could not have asked for a more wonderful, kind and caring childminder/adopted nana for my little boy. Knowing Arthur was spending time with Linda made going back to work so much easier. Arthur adores Linda and the other lovely children in her care and he has come on so much in terms of speech, confidence and sociability over the last few months from being in such a safe, warm and happy environment. I have gotten to know the whole family and only wish I could take them with me so that Linda could continue caring for Arthur when we re-locate to the north of England in the next few weeks! I could not recommend Linda enough and will genuinely miss the laughs we’ve had watching Arthur grow over the last six months.
I’m so glad we found Lindy after unfortunately having a bad experience with a previous childminder. Lindy was very flexible with meeting times, I first popped round one evening to meet her which was really helpful as a full time working mum. I felt at ease and instantly knew my little boy would be very happy in her care.
Lindy has a lovely spacious home that offers a home from home setting for children in her care. Lindy has a cosy play setting in the lounge area, along with a great range of toys to choose from, catering for children of all ages. My little boy is very relaxed at Lindy’s house, I often arrive to find him snuggled up on the sofa with a blanket or curled up next to one of her two beautiful golden retrievers.
The children partake in a wide range of activities including arts and crafts, woodland walks with the doggies, trips out and indoor imaginative play. Lindy offers breakfast lunch and dinner, she also provides a hot meal at lunchtime.
I couldn’t recommend Lindy enough! She is very calm and nurturing, she really takes her time with the children and brings out the best in them. My little boy has thrived in her care, I am so thankful we found her!

Thank you Susie!
Such lovely kind words and I can’t thank you enough.
I adore each and every child that enters my setting and they are all treated equally no matter how long or short they stay.
I love watching each and every child grow and mature in confidence verbally and socially.
Lovely words from a lovely lady xx
I was so glad to have found Linda when looking for a childminder for my son when he was just 4 months old. Linda is extremely kind and patient and made my return to work after maternity leave much easier. I felt very relaxed from day 1 leaving him in her care. Even though at around the age of 10 months he went through a spell of separation anxiety Linda really kept me up to date with his progress on the days she had him and helped put my mind at rest, the spell didn't last long.
Now at 18 months old he absolutely loves going to Linda's and I truly believe she has played her part in him being such a kind, outgoing and well behaved little boy. Linda has a wonderful calming nature and provides a loving "home from home" environment which was really important to me.
