If you’re looking for childcare in Doncaster, these are some of the amazing childminders who were nominated in the Doncaster Mumbler Awards 2020.
Acorns Childminding
- They always go above and beyond their requirements offering extremely affordable and flexible childcare which no other Nursery in the area offers but without impact to the outstanding level of care given. The setting is very inviting and warm and it is easy to see the children are so comfortable within their surroundings. Kerry and her team are attentive to the child’s needs and have their eye on the children’s well-being at all times.
Adele Collins of Happy Feet
- Adele was a nanny for our family for 6 months. She is caring, compassionate and completely trust worthy. Adele quickly became part of the family. Our children both love her and ask when she’s coming. Adele is very creative and inspired the children with different activities. They had loads of adventures, lots of fun and enjoyed every minute with Adele. She is able to tailor individual learning to each child’s needs and follow the curriculum. She deserves recognition for all her hard work and care
Alison Maxfield
- She is fantastic with the children and always does a variety of activities with them .
Alison Moss – Dragonflies
- Alison has cared for my daughter since she was 7 months old she’s now nearly 3 – Alison is an amazing childminder she goes above and beyond for the children. She also supports the family and goes the extra mile if needed. My daughter loves going to alisons and has such a wonderful relationship with her she’s feels safe and secure and has so much fun.
Amanda & Keith Fitzgerald
- Go above and beyond for our family.
Amanda Longstaff
- She is dedicated to her work 100% and throughout this lock down she made a story facebook page and read a story daily to all the children who join which where from all over the country. She made the kids smile and feel happy at such a low time in the world. This lady goes above and beyond for all the childen she cares for. Truly amazing lady.
Amy Ogley
- For always being flexible, understanding and supportive.
Annette & Micks Childminding
- My two daughter’s have been attending annette and mick’s childminding in Hatfield Doncaster for the last few years. They go above and beyond with the children in the setting. A warm and welcome family as well as amazing staff. I could not ask for anyone better to teach and look after my children. Without them I would not of been able to go back to college to further my career and be able to go into university.
Barbara Chattin
- Barbara has been a child minder for my son since he was 5 months old (he’s just turned 9 years old). As a single mother who works full-time it’s so important to get the childcare arrangements for my son just right. Barbara gives my son a safe and caring ‘home’ to return to after a day at school. This is so important to us. It’s as if Barbara is an extension of our family. Barbara has supported my son during some difficult situations in his life and has been that ‘patient positive listening ear’. Our little family unit would be lost without the support of this fabulous woman.
Beverley Probert
- Beverley (Bev) has been the childminder to my little boy since he was 10 months old and not only has she been exceptional at providing care and support to my little boy, but to us as a family. It was clear from an early age that my little boy had SEN and not knowing much about how to access support and where to go we relied heavily upon Bev, who sought answers on our behalf. Bev has supported us with speech and language therapy, even coming to a couple of sessions with us to ensure she could carry this on in her setting and contributed to the creation and development of his Personal learning plan, along with Early Years. She has taken the time to complete arduous and monotonous paperwork to ensure that my little boy’s referrals to the correct health professionals and his transition to nursery have been actioned. Bev has made herself heard as a professional, advocating for my little boy and ourselves when needed. She has done this in her own time, often after working hours and will always answer a text when I need a little advice. Recently, my little boys behaviours have gotten more prominent and disruptive and although witnessing these can deliver an emotional blow, Bev has handled these situations with her usual care, compassion and professionalism. My little boy will begin transition to nursery in September so will not be with Bev as much soon, so this nomination is our way of thanking her for all the care and support she has given us this far, and no doubt will continue to give.

Charlotte’s Little Learners
- Charlotte is literally the most kind, caring and passionate childminder I know! She goes above & beyond to always keep the children safe & happy, even when she’s been down herself! She’s had an extremely tough couple of years due to a few factors. But always manages to come out on top and always staying positive for the children.

She has done all this whilst home schooling her own kids. Well done Claire.

Janet Willis

- They are outstanding in childcare, brilliant home atmosphere and my children love going. Total peace of mind when needing to send my children.
Tracy Trimmer
- Tracy has given us so much support over the last year. She is an integral part of our lives. Knowing that our little boy is so well looked after whilst we’re at work reduces so much stress.
