We keep our paediatric first aid training updated every 3 years and we have Food Hygiene and Safeguarding training as well as others. We regularly attend training to keep our skills and knowledge updated.
We have a dedicated indoor play area and a large, child-friendly garden with all-weather awnings that can be rolled out.
To complement children’s learning experiences, we take them on regular outings to explore the local community and wider world.
Thankyou for being such wonderful childminders for my girls. You have looked after them with such love and care over the years, they will never forget it and neither will we. We have all been very lucky to have you.
I can't thank you both enough for allowing us into your home and welcoming us into your family like you have. I was truly very lucky to find you.
Lucy's childminder really is the absolute best!! She's been going her since she was 8 months old and I am absolutely certain that she wouldn't be half as bright as she is if it wasn't for the outstanding care she gets at Toni Hope's. I highly recommend any parent with young children to enquire about places with Toni and Simon.
