"We truly could not have hoped for a more loving, nurturing, and supportive environment for our son. From the moment we met Vic, it was clear to us that her setting is so much more than just childcare, it’s a genuine home from home. Our son started with Vic at only 7.5 months old, and Vic was amazing with our son, but also showed huge care and support for us as first time parents.
Vic welcomes our son every day with warmth and kindness. The atmosphere is calm, safe, and full of opportunities for him to learn, play, and grow with confidence both within Vic's setting, and on the many trips out. Every activity is thoughtfully planned, and his individual needs are always taken into account.
What sets Vic apart is the level of dedication that goes into everything she does. We have complete peace of mind knowing our son is not only well cared for, but truly valued and loved. The communication is excellent with detailed updates in the morning and afternoon; we always feel included in his day-to-day experiences and development.
It’s such a comfort as parents to know that our child is in a place where he feels secure, happy, and at home.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. Choosing Vic to care for our son is the best decision we could have made, we genuinely couldn’t have wished for better."

"Vic is a great childminder and my little boy absolutely loves her which is one of the most important things in any childcare setting. She is fantastic with him, encourages learning as well as play and the variety of activities she does with him is brilliant.
Her communication skills are excellent, she provides us with updates throughout the day including plenty of photos and videos and without fail in all of them he is beaming with happiness. My elder daughter also attends her setting on a before / after school basis once a week and she really looks forward to her time with Vic.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vic to any parent – she is welcoming, caring and attentive and we couldn’t ask for anything more!"

"We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. Vic is reliable, nurturing, and truly dedicated to each child’s development. Her education-focused approach, combined with her creativity, means every day is engaging and enriching, with thoughtful weekly themes, regular trips out, and plenty of outdoor play.
Our daughter always has so much fun and comes home full of stories about her day, which speaks volumes about the environment Vic creates. She has become a genuine extension of our family, and we have complete confidence in the care she provides.
The care and support Vic offers us as parents is also invaluable - she is a great communicator, supports our parenting goals & takes the most amazing pictures which we love to receive throughout the day. Vic truly goes above and beyond in everything she does and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We are looking forward to our second born starting with Vic next year. "

"My son has had a wonderful early years experience at Vic’s. He’s had fun every day, formed his first, important friendships and learned a huge amount about the world. Vic plans themes and activities every week to engage the children’s interest.
She is patient and kind at the same time as maintaining appropriate boundaries. It takes the stress out of leaving your child when you know they’ll be having far more fun than you are at work!"

"Vic's childminding service has been an absolute godsend for our family. She provides warm, friendly, professional and diligent care in a home-from-home environment.
The range and quality of activities Vic offers - both inside and outside the home - is exceptional, her communication is excellent and her inter-personal skills faultless. Our children have loved spending time in her setting. We would recommend her without hesitation."

"Vic is honestly amazing. She really does make it home from home. My daughter, L, is so clever with her numbers and writing, and it really is down to Vic. I get updates throughout the day, which is so lovely to see when I'm at work.
Occasionally L is a bit upset when I leave (not because of Vic) but Vic messages me reassuring me she's OK as soon as she can, which I really appreciate. She makes lovely food for them, always keeps them busy, and I'm so glad I chose Vic as L’s childminder. I'd recommend her to anyone."

"From day one we have felt at ease and confident that our son has been cared for in a fantastic home from home environment. B has new and exciting experiences every day, and we have no doubt that Vic is attentive to all of his needs to ensure he has fun whilst learning new skills.
Vic is also attentive to us as parents, and we receive morning and afternoon updates and photos. The detail and quality of these meant they quickly became the highlight of our day. Thanks, Vic!"

"As a first time mum there’s nothing more daunting than choosing a childcare setting for your baby. From the second I stepped foot into Vic’s house I knew she was the one I was going to trust. The bond my boy has with Vic & all his childminder friends is just heart-warming.
The activities she provides & the resources available are more than what you could expect. She’s done nothing but support me and my little boy through so much. Choosing Vic to look after my little boy has been the best decision I could of made, she puts my mind at ease and keeps me completely up to date with all his fun adventures."
