Masi has been brilliant & amazing while looking after my 20 month old daughter. Her settling in policy is amazing & gave us peace of mind for when she started & helped put our mind at ease, especially with my anxiety and leaving my little girl.We are constantly given updates throughout the day & feel very confident and secure when our little girl is there. We would highly recommend Masi to anyone. Thank you Masi ❤️.
Doreen has been "with" our family for coming up on eleven years, and she has been everything we hoped for and more -- at this point she is truly more like a member of our family. When our kids were little, Doreen came reliably for three, sometimes four days a week, for several years (including covid times!). Meeting her was a stroke of luck we will always be grateful for. Together we raised some great kids! (I'm not biased or anything :) It really is the case that every family needs a Doreen -- not just to help keep the household running smoothly but also to help teach the kids how to be safe and responsible (and loving and kind). Now that our two are in year four and year seven, Doreen plays a different role. The kids love her like a family member and miss having her every week, but we are still very fortunate to have `Doreen come regularly to help out with after school things when my husband and I can't do the pick up, or the activity drop off, etc. Any time we say "Doreen is getting you from school today" the kids are absolutely delighted (including the one who is in high school now!). We hit the jackpot back in 2014, and I honestly could not imagine a better person to take care of our (or your, or anyone's!) kids. She has my and my husband's very highest recommendation - we admire her enormously.
Lizzy helps our family a lot with quite non ordinary child care services - since our son is a boarder from an EU country and needs regularly participate in tennis competitions, Lizzy accompanies him for such competitions during weekends. It takes really a lot of patience and time since sometimes you can spend more than 4 hours at the courts. With Lizzy I can be 100% sure that my kid will be looked after, well fed and safely taken from the school and brought back after the tournament. And of course she writes us small reports from the tournaments which is very sweet!
Mrs Saidat has been an absolute blessing in taking care of our 3-year-old, and we feel so lucky to have found her. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after and is passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment.
Our child has thrived under her care, coming home every day happy, excited, and full of stories about all the fun activities they've done. Mrs Saidat plans engaging and age-appropriate activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play and storytime, ensuring our little one is always learning and having fun. She has also encouraged positive social interactions, helping our child build confidence and develop important social skills.
What truly stands out is her warmth and patience. She takes the time to understand each child’s individual needs and personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. She communicates with us regularly, keeping us updated on milestones, daily activities, and any concerns she may have noticed. This open and honest communication gives us so much peace of mind.
Her home is always clean, safe, and well-equipped with toys and resources that capture children’s imaginations. She also emphasizes healthy eating and ensures that snacks and meals are nutritious, which we really appreciate. I highly recommend her

We used Sara and Emma as our childminder last year before our little one transitioned into school nursery. We found Sara and Emma to be very warm and friendly. They are so good at what they do. If we ever had a week off for holiday or even just the weekend, our daughter was asking to go back to “my Sara” by the Monday again.
Some things to expect are:
-fantastic trips out with amazing learning experiences
- book of the month, a themed month where they learn all about the book that has been carefully chosen and including activities relating to the theme (the hungry caterpillar for example, they actually grew their own chrysalis and watched them bloom into beautiful butterfly’s)
-learning targets. Sara will pinpoint what your child is behind in (colours, numbers etc) and help them in that area in a fun way.
Overall, such a wonderful setting!
Muskan has been looking after both my children, the eldest one is in Reception now and still attends the setting during half term. Being a working mum I go to work every day knowing my children are in the best care.
They offer fantastic activities such as garden play, painting, colouring, playdough, baking and even more which my children absolutely love and enjoy. I couldnt be happier with the care and attention they provide.
Muskan has always gone above and beyond in all aspects of looking after my children and I would a million percent recommend her services to everyone. Not only do my children love her but my husband and I couldn't have wished, and hoped for someone better to help bring our children up.
We can't thank her enough for the fantastic start she gave our children. They are both brilliant, bright especially my son developed immensely under her care and he adores her a lot. Muskan has been playing a huge role in helping my children.
I couldn't recommend Cute1s enough, Muskan loves the children she looks after and they love her in return. The bond she forms with them is so special.
We couldn't have found a better childminder and a life saviour every time we need extra help from Muskan for our children due to any emergencies.
Contacted her looking for an occasional babysitter, she asked to message her after Christmas which is absolutely fine, left several messages after and never heard back. Person can't even be bothered to answer that she's not interested in work. Total waste of time.
I am extremely happy with the care Priya provided. I had initially taken my son to an outstanding nursery and was very much worried about kids safety and happiness there. Then I moved my son to Priyas' and I feel fortunate to have found her.
My son has stranger anxiety and could not settle in the other daycare I initially sent him to. I am extremely happy with the way Priya helped my son overcome the anxiety and build his confidence. He needed a lot of assurance to settle and Priya made sure he felt safe.He received the same care and attention like at home. My son asks about going to Priya during holidays which shows how happy he is there.The place is very clean and safe for kids.

I am extremely pleased with our experience at George Perkins Kids Planet Nursery. From the moment we enrolled, it has been clear that the staff truly cares about the well-being and development of each child. The educators are not only friendly and approachable but also very knowledgeable about early childhood development. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for my child to feel comfortable and excited about attending. I appreciate the individualized attention they give to each child, recognizing their unique needs and interests, which has helped my little one thrive.The communication is also fantastic. I receive regular updates and photos throughout the day, which makes me feel connected to my child's experiences. The nursery also holds parent meetings and events that foster a strong sense of community, making it easy for parents to get involved.The activities provided are both fun and educational, promoting creativity and learning in a hands-on way. I am seeing growth in my child's social skills and confidence.
Unfortunately my plans changed and I no longer needed a service but Holly was great, she offered & came to the house to meet myself and baby and get to know us & our routines which was lovely of her. She was very professional and was able to provide references and any documents I asked for. I would reccomend Holly and in the future if I need a babysitter again I would love to have her

Sam is amazing. She has cared for both our children from 6 months until they were 3 1/2.
Sam treats the children under her care like family and has so much love for them. She takes the children on lots of adventures and experiences as well as at home fun and learning.
Sam provides a safe and nurturing environment in her beautiful home and our children have thrived during the time they spend with her.
We highly recommend Sam.

My experience with Saaria tiney home childcare thus far has been great. My child is developing very well which is good to see. I believe Saaria is skilled at what she does and I encourage others looking for childcare to check out Saaria's setting and see if her services meet your needs.
We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for our daughter, who started going to Sadika's at 10 months old. It was truly humbling watching our daughter grow in confidence and to witness her communication skills develop. Sadika and Ama gave our daughter the most wonderful start on her journey to independence. Warmth, nurture, and an abundance of care (just like home) and also a lot of activities and thoughtful ways of engaging little minds. The decision to leave London was made so much harder by how much our daughter thrived at Sadika's. We are truly grateful for the time she got to spend there.
Helping Hands Childminders are the best childminders in the world and we love them so much!
Our little girl had an awful start to her childcare journey not settling at nursery at all at 2 years.
She then came to Sharon and Tony and the amount of work and care and love and effort they have put into her settling and development is astonishing.
She is leaving in April (she is 3 now) to start a pre - school next to her school and we are absolutely gutted that she has to leave! She is now a very confident and forward little girl ready to take on the next challenges!
She has learnt SO much there: counting, colors, her speech, understanding and ability to interact with adults and children has developed immensely, and most of all she has learnt impeccable manners. We get comments daily on how amazingly polite and well spoken she is. And that is down to Sharon and Tony and their lovely team. They cater for each individual child's need with time and effort tailored to each of them.
The kids have so many activities within which they also learn, such as mixing colors, baking, Christmas and Halloween special, colors of each season - the list is endless!
And most of all the have SO MUCH FUN every day and feel safe, looked after and cared for in the safe and secure and impeccably clean house, which is also so homely and inviting.
The outdoor area is outstanding; full of activities and fun stuff for the kids. They grow their own vegetables, play and learn in the playhouse, play in the sandpit or on the swings or the climbing frames Tony is constantly updating the play area so there is always new things for them to do. It couldn’t be better!
Chelsea and Chanel work there alongside Sharon and Tony and they are all so helpful, kind, warm and knowledgeable. The communication is AMAZING too and Sharon sends pictures and videos throughout the day of Ruby’s fun moments, which we love.
She also updates daily throughout the day of learning and activities, what food has been served, how ruby has been in the day etc. So we know each evening what her day has been like.
Anyone who gets a space at Helping Hands is very very lucky and you will not want to leave.
