Company Description

Nessa's was established in 1993, and is run by Vanessa and Mark from their home in Birkenhead, Wirral. It is an Ofsted registered childminding service, and a member of the NCMA. Vanessa has an NVQ3 in Children's Care, Learning and Development, and certificates in Emergency First Aid for Childcare Providers, Child Protection Awareness, the Language of Baby, Birth to Three Matters, the Early Years Foundation Stage, Food Hygiene, and Health and Safety.

Nessa's provide the best possible service by ensuring that, through play and activity sessions, all children have fun whilst learning something new each day. Activities include, arts and crafts, role-play, toys and games, outdoor play equipment, and a wide range of books and toys are available for all ages, gender and cultural groups. They are only minutes away from some excellent recreational facilities including, Birkenhead Park, Tam O'Shanter Urban Farm, Williamson Art Gallery, Birkenhead Library, and toddler groups. Occasional visits to Chester Zoo and Liverpool Museum are also arranged.

Nessa's understand that parents can be anxious about being away from their children for several hours each day, and so they were one of the first childcare providers to install a webcam. It is situated in the main play area where parents can keep a 'virtual' eye on their child without having to leave the office. The camera is in operation throughout the day and a password is required to gain access to the images. Parents are, of course, welcome to phone or drop in at any time.

Children's needs and welfare are of utmost importance, and Nessa's Childminding Services endeavour to provide activities and learning experiences that help stimulate their emotional, physical, social and intellectual development. They support and build upon what children learn at home and school, and keep parents informed about their child's progress. Nessa's actively promote equal opportunities. Each child is treated as an individual, with equal concern and given equal chance to learn and develop. They take into account each child's age, stage of development, sex, ethnic origin, and disabilities. Children are encouraged to develop a sense of their own identity and culture, and helped to develop positive attitudes towards people who are different from themselves.

Contact Vanessa for further information regarding vacancies, fees or any aspect of childminding.

 We are all so grateful to Vanessa and Mark for everything they have done over the past couple of years. Lewis has really enjoyed the time spent at Nessa's, and will miss his friends. I've had such peace of mind knowing he has been cared for so well while I've been at work.

 Our little boy has come on extremely well since starting at Nessas, he has picked up new skills and interacts well with other children. He always has a big smile for Vanessa when she opens the door of a morning! Many Thanks Nicola & Ian

 Nessa and Mark are fantastic with our 3 kids. They always go the extra mile for us and the kids all look forward to their time there. (The first person my son ever said he loved was actually Nessa!)
The kids are kept well entertained whilst learning at the same time. They are taught manners and how to share. They are regularly changed and fed.
Nessa keeps folders for each child so we can see how they are developing and there is a webcam set up so I can check in on the kids at any time.
Overall I am very happy with the care provided and feel completely comfortable leaving the kids with Nessa and Mark while I work. I would definitely recommend them.

 After moving my son from a nursery as he wasn't happy I hoped he would settle with a childminder..after a month he was a totally happy and settled little boy..making us all happy. Vanessa and mark are exceptional childcare providers..and as a teacher myself I could say if I was a ofsted quality assessor I would defiantly award outstanding as they are and deserve the credit as the go above and beyond the norm..providing video, pictures, artwork and exceptional feedback every day..and above all a happy little boy who loves to go there each day!.

 Vanessa and Mark are more than perfect childcare. They not only provide my son with the love and support he needs when not with his family, But also offer education including music, imagination, painting. Very good that Vanessa helped me potty train my son and he has come a long way since changing childcare provider. I am very happy with the support and care they have offered. Overall an excellent service has been given.

 Jaime looks forward to spending her day with Vanessa. She never wants to go home when I pick her up as she is always in the middle of some game or drawing! Vanessa ensures that the children always have plenty to do during the day. She provides healthy snacks, and makes sure they all eat their dinners. If ever a problem occurs, and I have to work late, Vanessa will keep Jaime safe until I can pick her up. The children all learn to share and get along with each other, which stands them in good stead when starting school or playgroup. I would recommend Vanessa as a great childminder to anyone.
