Miranda has been a wonderful helping hand for over a year for my homeschooled children. She was able to teach arts, and primary school curriculum Mathematics and English. She is very good with kids, talented and well organised! Every lesson was tailored made according to the specific needs of the child.
Highly recommend her as a tutor or a nanny, your kids will love her!

Thank you so much Nailah for your services. My boy has adapted so well and thoroughly enjoys seeing you after school. You’ve made the process super easy and hassle free for me and I don’t have a single worry now that I’m back at work x

We recently moved from South Africa and was struggling to find a place for our two and a half year old son who was struggling with seperation anxiety. Lizzy and Debbie accepted us immediately and have helped our transition process from our son being home with me most of the time to me going back to work full time in a new country. Lizzy and Debbie helped us and are still helping me every day to settle Alexander. I will be forever grateful for what smiley kids have done for us and our son. Take it from a paranoid, overprotective mother.

Riva is an exceptional babysitter! My child adores her, and I'm consistently impressed by her care and reliability. She's stayed with us on multiple occasions, including overnight stay, and always goes above and beyond to keep my child happy and engaged. I highly recommend her to any parent in need of a trustworthy caregiver. Thanks, Riva, for your outstanding service!
Lynsey has been an occasional babysitter for my 9 year old son since Dec 2023. She is very well qualified, competent and dedicated and gives my son a really engaging and fulfilling time wether at our home or hers. She is calm, punctual, reliable, kind, creative and my son now asks when he's going to see Lynsey again as he always has such a good time in her care. My babysitting needs are ad hoc but Lynsey always gets back to me promptly and always finds time to accommodate our needs wether its an evening weekend or a couple of hours in the daytime during the week. I'd highly recommend her services.

Tara looked after my son whilst I was studying. I was so incredibly nervous at first, leaving my son. He'd been with me every day and night since birth! But instantly, I was reassured. I felt such a warm presence from Tara, her family, and her home since day one. Tara helped both me and my son settle quickly and comfortably. It was great knowing he was being greatly cared for so I could continue my studies without any worries.
Being a student, flexibility is really great. Tara was honestly brilliant with my extra study days so I could get most of my work completed. Throughout the days, she would update me with pictures and let me know how he was getting on, which was lovely and certainly put me at ease.
As a first time mum sometimes I felt quite like I didn't know what i was doing but Tara supported me, she gave me a lot of advice and tips and really helped a lot with sleep training, and trying to encourage his eating! The communication was so easy and straightforward. I have loved knowing my son is eating well, playing with her lovely daughters or doing different activities; play group, swimming, the park so I know he is regularly out and about having fun.
Since being with Tara, I've seen such a change and improvement in my sons development, his talking especially, and I know that the way Tara engages with the little ones has really played a part in that. I would 10000% recommend Tara to anyone looking for flexible and brilliant care for their child.
I also really appreciated Taras' help with proofreading my work in her spare time! A massive help. And being really accommodating and understanding during my rough days in my second pregnancy. Honestly, my son and I will miss you and your family! You've all been so kind, and I know Mason misses you all already. It's been such a pleasure to have gotten to know you, and I appreciate all that you have done. I hope to stay in touch!

Kerry has looked after all three of my children. She has built up an amazing bond with all three individually and they thoroughly enjoy spending time in the setting. They all partake in age appropriate activities and Kerry is great at supporting all the children’s needs. Kerry has always had great communication and has always been reliable which has made it easier for me as a parent. I will continue to rely on Kerry to provide childcare services for my children until they are all grown, I cannot recommend her enough.
We started our son with Tracey when he was just over 3 months old and she takes care of all week throughout the workday. We have chaotic work schedules and Tracey has been very helpful with helping us make it work. Our son Wilder is now almost two years old and Tracey has been an incredible help to us parents and our son. When he was young, she worked with us to feed him how we wanted, and matched the sleeping schedule we asked for. She has been there every step of the way since then and Wilder LOVES going to Traceys. He’s gone from a baby to an adventurous young toddler with lots of changes along the way. Tracey has been great help with all the changes.
We have found that Tracey truly cares for the children and it feels like she is family. She takes the kids to the library, reading group, playgroup, and the park. She gives us updates throughout the day and includes pictures. Our son also gets to spend time with other great young children and they all seem to love to play together. He also learned and grown so much since being there. Tracey made his birthday and the other holidays special for our son and all the other kids! We couldn't have asked for better care for our time in cambridge and anyone to use her will find themselves very lucky to have such a great childminder. Our family HIGHLY recommends Tracey.

Kerry has been looking after our son since I went back to work ( just over a year ago) she is amazing with him and he loves spreading time with her and her family especially her dogs. She has helped us so much when my husband is deployed I'm so grateful. Our son loves Kerry and is excited to see her every morning.
Kerry is an amazing person and is incredible with my kids.! They love going to her every morning and seeing her at school pick up.! She’s become someone my children love and adore… always love the pictures she sends when they are with her… I’d choose her and recommend her over and over again
Karen is been providing care for my daughter Meadow since she was 10 months old.
Meadow is now 28 months old and she loves going to Karen’s house. I have always felt comfortable leaving Meadow knowing she is in safe hands. Karen has contributed to each milestone in Meadow’s development, weaning, crawling, walking, talking etc. Karen takes Meadow out to play groups but also has lots of indoor/garden activities/play. Karen has always been flexible with days/hours when needed. I would recommend Karen to anyone looking for childcare.
We have used Sophie a number of times for both evening and day time childcare and she has always been amazing - she is good with our little boy, keeps us up to date with photos & messages of how he is and has been really flexible. We hadn’t left him before as we do not live near family so we were a little nervous before using Sophie but as soon as we met her, we were reassured as she is so lovely. Will continue to use 😌
I hired Nuala for several weeks recently after moving house and waiting for Sheffield LEA to assign a school place. We both had flexible schedules that have worked well together.
My daughter has ASD and can be very particular about whom she likes to spend time with. She is excited every morning when Nuala arrives for playtime. Nuala is very calm, and patient and engages her with conversations and questions about what they are doing. I can tell my daughter is very comfortable around her from the noises I can hear from my office upstairs.
My daughter described her as a friend a few days ago, which is high praise.
Andrea is a fantastic childminder. We have seen our daughter blossom in her care. She is inclusive in the range of structured and unstructured activities that she provides and also mindful of the diversity of the group. She is a great person who truly cares about the welfare of each child and their overall individual development both socially and in relation to key milestones. I recommend her services regularly to family and friends.
Eleanore has been an amazing nanny for my twins, who were 1.5 years old when she started with us in 2021. I highly recommend Eleanore, she is very calm, reliable, flexible, fun and she loves kids and they love her. My kids were always so happy to see her and spend the day with her. She knows Wimbledon and surrounding very well and always has activities planned for the week ahead. When twins started school she stopped working for us to the disappointment of my kids. But i’m still calling her for any babysitting needs. So overall, a fantastic person and a brilliant nanny.

Choosing a childminder for our son was one of the most important decisions we made, and we couldn’t be happier with Tamara.
One of the things that initially drew us to Tamara’s was the beautiful outdoor setting she offers. Surrounded by woodland, a space where our little boy can explore, discover, and let his imagination soar. All types of outdoor activities can be enjoyed due to the size and nature of the setting.
Tamara has been looking after our little boy for some months now and creates a nurturing environment where he feels safe, extremely happy and comfortable. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder and would definitely say that if you have a child that is already walking, Tamara's would be very hard to beat.
