"I like nursery, husband wanted baby cared for in a home. Found the best of both worlds in Penguins. Lovely, professional carers in a friendly home setting." Nikki
"J has settled in really well. I have had nothing but trouble for the last 18 months trying to find someone who J feels comfortable with, and now he is really happy...lovely environment and I feel really relaxed leaving him for the day as I know he is happy for the day. A truly fantastic place for kids." Natalie
"My child has been with Penguin Childcare since November 2013 for after school care. I am more than happy with his care and the support provided for him in order for him to progress in his school work and after school club. I believe Penguin Childcare carers are well skilled and competent to accept the challenge of being childminders. I have the utmost confidence in their judgment and maturity, and have always felt comfortable leaving my child in their care. They are also very keen on discipline and have seen positive results with my son. I am happy to recommend Penguin Childcare to others." Phyllis
"I am so happy I choose penguin child care to look after my daughter who was only 7 months when she started. She loves going there and get very excited when she sees both Tina and Michelle. I can not fault them at all, they're such lovely women and I trust them deeply with my daughter, they're brilliant." Charley
"My two boys have attended Penguin for several months and I couldn't be happier: Tina & Michelle are professional, trustworthy, with an in-depth knowledge of early years requirements. They provide more structure and creative activities than other childminders - whilst maintaining the cosy intimacy of a home environment. I would highly recommend them." Lucy
"Our youngest daughter has just started school after 3.5 years with Penguin Childcare and we have been so happy with the care she has received there! We chose Penguins because it was a perfect mix of a homely environment but with enough children there (due to ratios with 2 childminders) for her to be able to socialise - which was really important for us as our pandemic baby had pretty much never been in another home! There are lots of fun activities and Michelle and Tina put a lot of thought in experience that the children learn from. We have experience of other settings with our older daughter and can honestly say that penguins provided the calmest settling in, the most creative activities and the best preparation for starting school." Becca
"I can’t recommend Tina and Michelle enough - my daughter loves her days at Penguins and has developed so much whilst being with them. Her days are always filled with lots of activities and fun and Tina and Michelle do an amazing job of keeping us up to date with her day." Laura
