"I cannot recommend Blanche highly enough."
Denman Family
"My daughter Lilly was 9 months old when I returned to work. I met with Blanche and was immediately impressed, as her primary interest was in getting to know my daughter, she showed interest and interacted with her, whist I was able to look at the the sort of activities she undertakes with children under her care. This was something I had not experienced with other child care facilities.
Two and half years later I have a confident energetic 3 year old. She has made friends and developed amazingly. She has a good understanding of basic manners and the need for rules.
Lilly has never had any separation issues and loves Blanche as she would a member of the family.
Blanche provides a home from home environment encouraging positive development with the children under her care. I love receiving my daily updates and photos of the day’s activities, and it’s entirely clear how much the children enjoy themselves having fun whilst learning.
I cannot recommend Blanche highly enough. As well as guiding my daughter through her early years, she has also taught me a lot for which I am thoroughly grateful. Blanche is always available for a one to one if required and worked closely with me whilst my daughter needed special dietary requirements."
"I have absolute peace of mind knowing my children are safe and cared for."
Berry Family
"My 3.5-year-old daughter has been with blanche and Eloise childcare since she was one and recently my other daughter has started with Blanche and Eloise from 9 months old.
My 3.5-year-old has thrived since being with Blanche, she has developed not only in educational milestones but also in confidence. She looks forward to going everyday and speaks about them when she is not there.
Throughout my eldest’s journey with Blanche I have been kept up to date with regular reports showing her progression and Blanche provides every opportunity to speak and discuss things with me. Any obstacle that I have faced I have been able to discuss with Blanche and she has provided caring and practical support.
The environment they have created is safe and full of creative activities that the children have full access too. I have been so impressed with the various outdoor activities that they have experienced being with Blanche, not only do they have an amazing time but there is always an educational element and I love hearing everything my daughter has learnt all through play.
Highlights have been the amazing sports days Blanche has put on, that shows how far my daughter has progressed physically. We receive wonderful art projects throughout the year and its lovely that they have certain themes they focus on at various times of the year.
My youngest daughter was 9 months when she started with Blanche, I was extremely nervous leaving her given how young she was, however I did not need to be, blanche provided support and reassurance and my youngest is so happy there, to see her progress socially has been amazing.
Blanches childminding has allowed me to go back to work with absolute peace of mind knowing that my children are safe and cared for and given amazing opportunities daily.
It is evident by the loving and caring environment that Blanche has created that she loves what she does, and we could not be without her."
"My boys look forward to their time with her and always come home happy and content."

I am delighted to provide this reference for Blanche Fernandez, who has been our childminder for my two boys, Atticus (since September 2022) and Otis (since April 2024). During this time, she has consistently demonstrated exceptional care, reliability, and dedication.
Blanche is nurturing and attentive to the needs of my children. She has a natural ability to connect with them, creating a safe and positive environment where they feel loved and supported. My boys look forward to their time with her and always come home happy and content.
She ensures that they engage in a variety of age-appropriate and stimulating activities, both indoors and outdoors, which has greatly contributed to their development and social skills.
Moreover, Blanche communicates effectively with us, providing regular updates on the boys' progress and any concerns that may arise.
In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Blanche as a childminder. Her caring nature, professionalism, and commitment to the well-being of my children have been outstanding, and we feel very fortunate to have her in our lives.
"We were particularly impressed with how proactive and supportive they were in helping to potty train Seth and his friends"
Lloyd Family
"Our three year old son Seth has been looked after by Blanche and Eloise since he turned one. Prior to this our now 7 year old daughter was looked after by Blanche until she started school.
Blanche and Eloise are wonderful childminders and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide for Seth. They arrange a wide variety of educational and fun outings which we are always so impressed by including trips to the beach, country parks and gardens, strawberry picking and library visits. They both have a fantastic rapport with Seth and he is always enthusiastic to attend their setting.
They keep us regularly updated with Seth’s developmental progress and highlight any areas of concern promptly and sensitively. Both Blanche and Eloise are approachable and always go above and beyond to help. We were particularly impressed with how proactive and supportive they were in helping to potty train Seth and his friends.
Our daughter who Blanche previously looked after has special educational needs and Blanche was a key driver in encouraging us to seek additional therapies and support at an early stage so this was in place for school where she is now thriving. Blanche’s experience and inclusiveness in working with children with additional needs is a real strong point.
We think incredibly highly of both Blanche and Eloise and couldn’t ask for a better setting for our children."
