My Reviews & Recommendations

I know how difficult it can be to find the right Child Care Provider for your child. I work hard and responsibly to make sure families are satisfied with my services. Here are a some of my testimonials from parents & children, past and present that I have cared for over the years.

Elaine is Sedgefields answer to Mary Poppins, when I returned to work after 10 years and had to find childcare for my 3 year old son with, was a massive decision, made easier as soon as I met Elaine. Elaine is kind, fun and the most loving, caring lady. My little boy loves her and idolises Charlie her son. I can not recommend Elaine highly enough, every working parent needs an Elaine, she is truly amazing.

Mr & Mrs B C

Elaine is a wonderful childminder. She comes highly recommended by our 3 year old and us parents alike.

She is warm, kind and nurturing to the children. It really felt like a home from home, rather than childcare. That takes a special kind of skill and we were very sad to have to move on as my daughter started full time at another school.

Miss A B

From day one Elaine has been fantastic, returning to work straight from maternity leave was daunting especially when both children were only 1 & 2 years old, but Elaine completed a daily diary everyday which was such a nice touch, as I felt I didn't miss out on their development completely.

Although Elaine has a high reputation and an even higher demand she is still flexible as she can be to accommodate two little ones and always goes above and beyond. She is very caring and has been a big part of their development with various learning activities they get up to which I still get to see their personal portfolios. I can't recommend Elaine enough.

We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, high quality, dependable and reliable childminder in Elaine, who our son adores! We would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a childminder who treats the children in her care like her own.

Elaine is a childminder but she acts like a close friend, who you can tell anything to. Her amazing smiley and happy attitude always cheers you up on sad days. Through the 6 and a half years I have been with her I have never felt like I can not do what I want to do. She works well with multiple children at a time and never leaves anybody out, so I always feel uncluded. She is a fantastic childminder and I would prefer to be with her than any after school clubs. She never stops being kind even when she's not looking after me. She is the best childminder ever!!!

Mr & Mrs K

I would have no problem recommending Elaine to anyone, she is flexible, friendly, caring and professional, ensuring the children she looks after feel as if they are part of a family.

My son runs to the door each morning and can be reluctant to leave in the evening, which is a reflection on how welcoming, content and happy he is in her home.

As working parents we appreciate the importance of school wrap around care. However, as TEACHERS we have made the decision NOT to send our child to such a provision, wanting him to be in a caring, home environment where he can choose what he would like to do rather than follow a structured timetable for up to 10 hours a day.

We have known Elaine for a number of years and she has been looking after our child for the last five. We have always found her to positive, trustworthy, approachable and welcoming. As working parents it is a real relief to know that your child is safe, happy and being so well cared for.

Elaine has always been a great childminder. I always felt as though I can trust Elaine. I have always felt as though I can do what I want as long as Elaine has allowed me and my parents have agreed. Elaine is great with all children and always lets us be as involved with activities as we want to be. Elaine is superrr KIND!

Mr & Mrs P

Elaine has cared for our 2 children from reception right through to year 6. We couldn't have found a more caring lady. She has the right balance of care, fun and discipline and gave them measured freedom to play. She is cheerful and always welcomes you with her lovely smile. Our children will have fond memories of their time spent with her.

We would not hesitate to recommend. And we want to say a huge thank you for all she has done.
