When we started our eldest daughter with Vicky at around a year old, we were comforted by the calm but purposeful, family feel of her setting and the way in which accommodating our daughter’s needs never appeared too much trouble. In our experience, Vicky has always sought to give the children in her care a multitude of valuable experiences, from sensory play in the garden, local walks and engagement with nature, to trips out further afield. We’ve always been particularly impressed with the excellent level of communication with parents throughout the day, plus how she maintains and keeps us informed of the development targets met/ working on.
When we were expecting our youngest daughter a couple of years later, we were so keen to get her enrolled with Vicky that we told her our news before many of our family members - just so we could try and reserve a space! Since only her second day after starting in November ‘23, our youngest has shown great confidence and contentment when attending Vicky’s, barely looking back when I drop her off and greeting me every time with a beam and a giggle.
Across the years Vicky has cared for our children, we’ve seen her continually seek to improve her already fantastic offer: educating herself with courses and reading, following other inspirational childminders for ideas and always updating her play equipment with carefully-chosen items. The videos she sends show a wonderful level of conversation with the children, in which she encourages/ extends them as appropriate. I feel it’s clear to see the love she has for her job and the passion she has for providing the best for the children in her care.

​We have been using Victoria's childminding for 7 years now, and honestly Vicky and her family have become part of our extended family. Both our daughter and son have been coming since 1 years of age to starting school, then after-school and holiday care. The care she provides is second to none, she cares for our children as she would her own. The experiences and activities they get to do, are always well thought out and the children love them. The have a lovely little community and make so many friends. We love having Vicky and Moria as part of our team, and would highly recommend to anyone seeking childcare.

My child has been with Vicky now for over a year and I didn’t think I could be any more happier with him being there. However each day I feel more and more happier. He’s been settled with her from day one and runs is every morning excited to be there. This made my return to work a lot easier knowing he was safe and happy.
Every day we receive photos of the children playing and every single child looks happy with huge smiles. This is so nice to see as when you’re at work you don’t have much contact with your child.
Vicky’s setting provides the home from home environment whilst also preparing my son for preschool and school by engaging with other children. He is an only child so Vicky has supported him to share and play with others.
My child recently was confirmed that he had a peanut allergy. Vicky was very supportive by making the setting a Peanut free allergy and being confident to know the signs he has if he reacts. She is also confident to provide his medication if needed. I can now relax at work knowing he is safe and extremely looked after.
My child also is delayed with his speech, Vicky picked up on this and has provided me with help and support for at home to further his speech. I can see how much time she gives him to support this as he comes home and says words I didn’t know he could say.
I can’t thank Vicky enough for everything she has done for my boy and she is and always will be a special part of his life. She is worth her weight in gold and I’m so lucky my child got a space with her.

I could not recommend Victoria's childminding enough. At the moment my second child is attending the setting and I would not send my children anywhere else. It was by a recommendation of a friend how I found Victoria and I could not be happier with the care she provides to children. I know Victoria now almost 6 years and I can say that childminding for her is not just a job but a calling. She is warm, funny, caring and has this calming and comforting presence that everyone instantly feels- children and anxious parents like me :). I am one of those mums who worry about everything but when H is with Victoria I am confident and calm because I know he is being looked after like I would look after him. Victoria knows him and all the children extremely well and it is a home like setting with lots of cuddles and comforting if H needs it and I like that she always let's me know if H is not feeling himself and I need to come and pick him up. That really assures she would never leave him cry or just see how he goes, she is on it. She also always provides information about his progress and what are the next steps we should work on together. H loves to go to Vicky's. He walks in and sometimes hardly says bye to me. Also at the beginning when he was crying when I left she would text me how he is doing in 10 min to assure me and he always settles very well with her within minutes. Also, nothing is ever a problem, if I forget a water bottle or lunch, she will sort it. She takes them to forest school and gives them different experiences like farm visits and Little City. She is also constantly educating herself about all things related to children wellbeing, which I love. I am very grateful that both of my children were able to attend her setting.

We are so lucky to have the amazing childcare service that Vicky provides.
Our Daughter, H absolutely dotes on Vicky - her patience, kind, and caring nature along
with the educational and fun activities the setting offers has enabled H to thrive and feel completely supported.
Vicky is brilliant at communicating regularly with us by sharing videos and photos of activities and days out, making us feel like we are part of their day.
We believe H’s overall development has been greater due to being in a safe, positive and fulfilling setting.
