Both of my boys have attended Laura's Little Lovelies Childcare (with my younger one still there as older one started reception two month ago), and we couldn't be happier with the care, support, and guidance they've received in every aspect—emotional, physical, and educational. Laura and Steph have built such a strong bond with my children, and the setting is always clean, well-organized, and filled with engaging activities. I confidently recommend this childcare for a safe and well-rounded experience for your little ones.
We had the pleasure of having Kerry care for our 11 month and 2 year old, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was not only responsible and trustworthy, but also incredibly fun and engaging with the kids. I always felt 100% confident in her care, whether she was taking the children out in her car or preparing their meals. Her work ethic is fantastic, and she truly went above and beyond in every aspect of her role. My children absolutely adored her and still miss her. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Kerry was our son’s nanny for a year. Due to me going on maternity leave we had to say goodbye to this amazing lady. She was so patient and kind to our little boy when he cried and wasn’t having a great day.
She taught our little boy counting, colours, songs and even good table manners. She can stick to a schedule or routine really well. She always respected our home and we loved having her taking care of our son.
When we started potty training she was on board and helped our son so much.
She was a lovely nanny: always on time and communicated any issues well in advance.
She even did babysitting for us a few times when we went out on a date.
I can wholeheartedly recommend her to any family who is in need of a nanny.
I couldn't be happier with the care provided by Kate. She has taken care of my daughter since she was a baby. She creates a warm and nurturing environment where my child feels safe and happy. Her engaging activities foster creativity and learning, and I loved receiving updates about her day. The attention to individual needs and her patience are truly commendable. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder!
We haven’t ever used a baby sitter before (our son is nearly 5). Our little boy has additional needs and I am a very overprotective mum, but I felt like a trusted Joanne as soon as we spoke. She came across like a very caring, professional person - which she was! 😊 she was great with our little boy and he was very happy and calm whilst with Joanne. She put us at ease and was really accommodating. Would definitely use Joanne’s services again to look after our little boy , has given me and my partner a chance to have some time together which we wouldn’t normally get. Highly recommend. Thank you Joanne x
I can't even begin to say how amazing Sarah is. My daughter absolutely thrived the entire time she was there. She loved being with Sarah and all her friends, and still talks about Sarah and Gary today telling all her pre-school teachers about her past adventures.
Sarah provided such a safe and happy home away from home. I knew from meeting Sarah & Gary that instantly my daughter would be absolutely fine, lovingly cared for like she was their own and I can't thank them enough for being such an important part of her little life so far.
With both of us working, Stanka was a great help. Her love for our daguther was always evident, and she easily adapted to the new needs created by national lockdowns, finding outdoor activities and play dates (when allowed) so I could work from home.
She helped our daughter play and learn every day, found indoor and outdoor activities appropriate for her age and development, and kept us updated with regular photos, which was especially welcome. She also prepared meals when necessary, and kept all areas where she played with our daughter clean and tidy. She was always careful to follow our approach in play-led learning and discipline, but it is also evident that she has ample experience she can fall back on to care for children whether they are happy or upset.
Stanka is a very friendly and sensitive person when it comes to dealing with children. She has a great sense of humour and is willing to join all activities as a playmate. She has helped our daughter learn to play football, as well as a range songs and small dances/physical games, numbers and colours - she took her seriously which was the most important component of our daughter's love for her. It is natural and easy to accept Stanka as a part of the family.

My son has been with Karen from the age of 9 months until 3 years, and he absolutely loved his time there. I was nervous leaving him at such a young age but I genuinely had nothing to worry about, Karen made me feel extremely comfortable and I have loved hearing all about his day and what he has been doing!
The confidence in my son has grown tremendously during his time with her and I couldn’t recommend Karen highly enough !!
Thanks for your help your are very good , friendly, kind babysitter and very good people my daughters really enjoyed, liked the time spent with you 😊 thank you so much see you next time
My daughter loves Maria. She absolutely loves to spend days with Maria and always goes in with a smile on her face. For myself as a working parent, knowing that my daughter is happy and being really well cared for is such a fantastic support. Maria cared incredibly for my daughter. Very kind, helpful, careful and professional. I would highly recommend her childcare to anyone.
Thank you so much, Maria, you’re amazing! 😊

As soon as you walk into Kashas you’re surrounded by happy and playful children. As many games, toys and activities as you can imagine and lovely healthy & varied food. Kasha is compassionate and kind. As a first time mum she made me feel incredibly safe and valid! The way she runs her day care is so flexible and stress free. Lots of pics and videos daily to update us of the activities going on that day. If we had the option to stay with Kasha longer our little one would have been with her for a long time. I could not rate her more highly.

Thushi is an amazing childminder, I don't even know where to begin!
Her home is a lovely setting, with an abundance of toys and space, indoors and outdoors. Her home feels like a home to home. Cleanliness and hygiene is very high; her place is amazingly spotless with all the little people around. My child has settled in so quickly and so much quicker than I expected and I believe it is down to Thushi and her patience, her warmth, her attentiveness and her calming home. My child loves hanging out Thushi and has bonded with her so amazingly well. He loves hanging out with his new gang and having lovely home-cooked meals and snacks in a friendly, nurturing and caring environment.
Thushi is an absolute gem and I am so lucky to have found her. I can't recommend her enough. She has been so great to work with: I love the consistent updates throughout the day, I love how she is so easy-going, I love that she is completely trustworthy and I love how she just gets what my child needs. She is super accommodating in every way.
Thank you Thushi for all that you do. :-)

Monika as a childminder was recommended to us by a friend and we were lucky a space became available when we needed it!
Monika looked after our daughter over a two-and-a-half-year period; from day one, she made my little girl feel very welcome and comfortable which gave me peace of mind every time I left her in Monika's care.
Monika is a highly-qualified, attentive and observant professional who spotted potential issues as soon as they arose. She is also very knowledgeable and helped us navigate through various paths of the state's system, be it obtaining government funding or guiding us through SEND support options. On top of it all, Monika always made sure children were well-stimulated through play and they were always kept entertained; she took them on various trips and to playgroups where they could interact with others, arranged art activities and ensured they spent time outdoors.
My daughter never complained, she loved spending time at Monika's which was reassuring and I knew I did not need to worry. I feel Monika helped my daughter come out of her shell and made her grow into a confident and assertive girl who was definitely ready to start school this September. We could not have done it all without Monika, she is the best childminder anyone can wish for!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tracey for our daughter and could not have asked for a better experience. The setting is lovely and she settled in so quickly with both Tracey and the other children she already had there. Plenty of outdoor play including the fabulous special garden is exactly what she needed. I always felt that Tracey truly cared about her and all the children there and was truly invested in their growth and development. Tracey kept in good communication, and was as flexible as possible when we needed. Our daughter thrived here and we were all sad it had to come to an end when she started school! But she was brilliantly prepared for this start by going to Tracey and made a lovely group of friends that we still keep in touch with. I would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
Becky and her team have provided the best standard of childcare for my two children. Not only is it a comfortable, clean, warm and loving setting for little ones but also provides so many opportunities for high standards of education, social interaction and structure. I’m so grateful my little ones get to have this exceptional experience. I couldn’t recommend Little Stars and Sparkles enough!
Ana kindly looked after my two children who are 2 years and 11 months. She popped over in the week to meet them so they knew who was putting them to bed. Her communication with us leading up to both visits and on the night was excellent and we will definitely be using her again!
