Zahra has been a wonderful addition to the family to help us through the stressful period of preparing for GCSEls! She had been able to take up all the slack to make sure my children have been able to focus on work as revision as possible, making sure they are fed with amazing food and encouraging them every step of the way. A total godsend for our household over this period. Thank you
Tamara has been babysitting my 6year old daughter on off for the last 2 years.
My daughter absolutely loves her! She often ask when is Tamara coming to visit again.
Last time she came to babysit I was surprised with lovely freshly baked cookies when I got back! Thank you girls đ

Jayne is a fantastic childminder who has looked after my son from him being 8 months old to him currently being 7 years old. She has a wonderful manner with all the children she minds, takes time to get to know them and their interests and is a fantastic communicator. She has great facilities at her home and in her garden and it really does have a home from home feel. My son has always felt at ease in her company and enjoys attending. Would whole heartedly recommend.
Louise has looked after my little girl since she was 12 months old. She is now nearly 4 and the thought of her leaving Louise breaks my heart.
I had a difficult return to work from maternity leave. My daughter was still being breast fed and much less confident than my older daughter. Louise was so understanding and reassuring. My daughter settled so quickly and has completely flourished in her care. She has formed strong bonds with all the other children that have been there or are there before / after school. Weezies home is so lovely, welcoming & in particular the beautiful garden, which the children love - they spend lots of time planting and playing with water. The children are always busy baking, reading, crafting, and visiting many places (local woods, the beach, the zoo to name but a few). Louiseâs family are all so lovely and they sometimes accompany the children on day trips. Louise adapts her approach and support individually for each child - for example creating opportunities to build my little girls confidence with new places / people as she knows I am worried about her starting school. The food Louise makes is all home cooked and so healthy, which really helped when Emmelines was going through a âonly beige foodsâ phase at home.
Emmeline looks forward with joy to going to Louise, shouting âYAY WEEZIESSSâ when we confirm itâs a day sheâs there.
I canât recommend Louise enough - sheâs just absolutely amazing!

Lauren has had my little boy from 10 months, when he first started he was super shy and at now 15 months he walks into Laurens home like it's his own with no hesitation. She is warm and welcoming and always shows me what he has been up to in the day. Her two little boys are so kind and are a testament to her as a mum.
She is passionate about what she does and had been so helpful when I was first navigating the childcare system. Couldn't recommend her enough.
Mandy has been our childminder for 5 years now and I am so thankful that we found her. She is like an extension to our family, with our children always so happy to be with her and in her lovely home. The childrenâs interests are followed with the activities planned and resources available. Both our children love being a part of the family ethos Mandy has created. I feel so lucky that we have found such a supportive, trustworthy and knowledgable person for our children.
Jack has been the most amazing addition to our family support team, we couldnât do without him. Our young baby adores him and squeals with excitement when he sees Jack arriving. Jack has supported his development for 6 months now and is an inspiring, fun, creative and deeply caring Nanny. Jack supports us with baby led weaning, exercise, sleep support and routines, organising baby laundry and always asks what else he can help with. When I took up referencing before hiring him I was told âheâs the baby whispererâ and I didnât expect to see how true it was. I was anxious to leave my baby with anyone after a traumatic birth but I donât worry when he is with Jack as I know heâs being cared for so well and having a total blast. Iâm hesitant to admit how amazing Jack is in case he gets too busy! His calm and patient vibe is everything our family needs, and it comes with giggles and adventures too. Thanks for all you do Jack, youâre amazing!
This is the first time Iâve used a childminder, and as a single mum, I was really nervous â but Linzie has completely put my mind at ease. From the moment we met, sheâs been calm, kind, and incredibly reassuring. My boys (4 and 5, and full of energy!) took to her straight away, which honestly says everything.
She just gets them â she knows how to keep them busy, safe, and happy, and she does it all with so much patience and warmth. Linzie is reliable, friendly, and so engaging with the kids. I couldnât ask for more, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!
I had very good experience with her. My 11 months old son and 8 years old daughter love her. They look forward to go to her house next time.
Titilayo is excellent with children. My little one really enjoyed going to Valiant Champs. She really takes her time to help the child settle in and also provides extra assurance to you through daily communication and updates . I highly recommend her!
I sincerely cannot recommend DownToEarthChildmind enough. My daughterâs confidence has grown exponentially since starting there and she doesnât want to leave most days!
Nicola is so attentive, kind, positive and patient with the children and does so much to create a nurturing and wholesome environment for them. She has a wonderful set up both indoors and outdoors and encourages fun, messy and safe play.
They have a great daily routine and make the most of each day, with frequent day trips, walks and explorations.
The setting is just so wonderful and my daughter has benefited in countless ways from it. One of the best decisions weâve made is choosing DownToEarth!
The best childminder who has a heart for all children and babies, very professional and a wonderful person. Alan always looks forward to visiting Casey House and this has given me peace of mind. Casey is very helpful and treats your child as her own, giving him tender love and attention. My son has a lot of fun and joy with Casey. I highly recommend her. Your child is in safe hands.
I carefully considered childminders for my daughter and feel very lucky to have found an absolute gem in Maggie. She is caring, considerate, encouraging, nurturing, attentive, creative, full of fun and energy, genuine and the list could go on and on again some more. She handles situations with sensitivity, understanding and humour. My daughter absolutely loves her days with Maggie. I have the upmost trust in Maggie and her amazing abilities to care for my daughter's wellbeing. Thank you for all you do for us Maggie. The world needs more Maggies and ours is a better one with her in it.
I couldn't recommend Nouzha enough! From day one, she has provided exceptional care and a nurturing environment for my girl.
She always goes above and beyond to make sure my child feels comfortable and engaged. The activities they plan are both educational and fun, helping my child grow in confidence and skills.
I also love the regular updates and photos she sent, which give me peace of mind during the day.
I feel so lucky to have found Nouzha. If youâre looking for a dedicated and caring childminder, she is the one.
Alex is with Andrea since 2022 and we as parents could not find a care for our son.
Andrea treats and cares about all kids like on her own, at the same time she is professional and encourage them to learn new things and track their development.
Alex is always very happy and excited to go to Andrea as she creates lovely environment full of fun and joy.
We are extremely grateful that she looks after our son, and would never replace her.

We used Angharad during our holiday to Beaumaris. She came to look after our 2 year old son one morning so that I could work. Angharad was great and my son took to her straight away - she was able to keep him happy and entertained from the get go. She is obviously very confident in looking after children and her communication when making a booking is fantastic. I would definitely recommend her if youâre looking for a babysitter / daytime childcare.

We started with Tomi when she first got registered at Bounds Green, I was a bit optimistic about using a newly qualified childminder. She has great communication skills, beautiful spirits. The kids love her and they feel comfortable and with her. My daughter developed lot of positive skills from her setting. Within few months of starting with her my two years old learnt lot of new words, understands routines, enjoys Tomi reading books to her, always happy during circle time.
Her setting is also cozy and gives home from home vibes. She only takes small number of children which I love because every child will be well loved and looked after.
Weâve been incredibly lucky to have had Carly to care for our son over the past 13 months. He has ASD and speech delay, and the progress he has made during his time with her has been absolutely amazing.
When he first started, he had limited speech and found social interaction quite difficult. Thanks to Carlyâs patience, understanding, and dedication, he is now using a wide variety of words and forming small sentences. Even more heartwarming is seeing how his confidence has grown â he now plays with and engages with his peers, something that once felt out of reach. She is now working on his writing skills in preparation for him starting school in September.
She sends us photos every day, keeping us updated with everything heâs been up to, which is so reassuring and lovely to see. She regularly takes him on trips, which he absolutely loves, especially being outside â one of his favourite things. Itâs clear how much thought and care she puts into planning activities that he enjoys and benefits from.
Most importantly, he absolutely adores her. He looks forward to seeing her each day, and as parents, that means the world to us. Carly has made such a positive impact on his development and happiness, and we truly cannot praise her enough. This is why we have made the decision to have him be with her during the school holidays going forward.
We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family, especially those with children who may need a little extra support â sheâs been everything we hoped for and so much more.
Charmaine is a kind and loving person. She takes times to figure out what a child needs and works with them. My daughter has been a picky eater and had issues eating in her nursery but when my daughter is with her she eats most if not all her food. My daughter comes how happy which is the main thing. Charmaine is a rare gem!!
