I cannot imagine a better setting for our 2 year old daughter, who is so happy and comfortable to go spend the day with Kamila as we go to work.
Kamila is warm, nurturing and takes great care of the children in her home who all seem very at ease and content.
My daughter often comes home with great pieces of art, and has learned so much. She can count to 20 and knows her ABCs! She has really thrived under Kamila’s care.
There are educational and sensory activities every day, there is an emphasis on learning to socialise and the meals always seem fresh and healthy.
I could not recommend Kamila enough. It has just been perfect for our daughter, and for us, who can confidently leave her with Kamila knowing she is safe but also having lots of fun and learning something new every day!

Sue has been the most amazing childminder we could have wished for when she started looking after our daughter in November 2020.
Not only had she ensured that she has not suffered developmentallu during the COVID years she has helped to nurture her into the amazing little girl she is today.
My daughter loves Sue so much that even on my maternity leave I've had to send her three nights a week to keep her happy.
Soon my second born will be starting Sue's and he already beams everytime he sees her.
Jen has been nothing but amazing. My little girl has been with her since January and she settled instantly. Jen keeps me informed with messages and pictures of my daughter throughout the day which is amazing. My little girls father passed away recently and Jen was so understanding and supportive every step of the way. Since being with Jen, her development has progressed so quickly alongside her talking. She gets so excited to go to Jens, she loves it that much I even struggle getting her to leave! As she wants to stay.
I couldn’t be anymore thankful for everything Jen and the girls have done with my daughter.
Truly amazing
Andrea and her husband Paul have been looking after our son since he turned one and we feel so lucky to have found them. We have been so impressed with the level of care they provide and they're approach to looking after multiple children at one time.
A few things that make us so happy that our son has Andrea and Paul in his life:
1. His language development has been incredible since he started. Andrea and Paul spend lots of time both talking with the kids as well as reading books and encouraging them to learn. It really shows
2. He's become a social little boy. Having a small group of mates that become really close has been a great step to finding a place in the world
3. He thinks of Andrea and Paul as his grand parents. They dote on the children and are always thinking how to help them understand what is going on. When Albi had to go to the doctor, Andrea and Paul got out the doctor toys so he would get a practise run.
They are incredibly kind and thoughtful - from purchasing toys to help stimulate new skills, persevering with naps through difficult sleep regressions(!) and allowing him to bring home toys that he's got attached to for the weekend. They don't just treat it like a job, they genuinely love and care about the children which was so evident at a recent little ones birthday party where all the children were so happy and excited that they were there. We see them as an extension of our family for our little boy and know that their kindness will have a lasting impact on him as he grows.
Charlotte is kind, bubbly, and trustworthy, making it easy to feel confident leaving our kids in her care. Her affectionate and engaging nature instantly connected with our little ones, and she’s always interactive, keeping them entertained and happy. One of the best things about Charlotte is how quick she is to pick things up, whether it’s meal prep, sleep routines, or any other instructions, I never have to tell her twice! Highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and reliable nanny!

We were incredibly lucky to have Frankie as a childminder for our two children. She is kind, patient, and truly dedicated to childcare. Our kids adored her, and we always felt at ease knowing they were in such caring and responsible hands. She organized creative activities, ensured their safety, and was always reliable. I highly recommend Frankie to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver!
We couldn’t be happier with Natasha. She is a warm, intelligent and brilliant individual. She prioritises the safety and well-being of the children in her care, creating a warm and secure environment. What truly sets her apart is her ability to provide guidance, ensuring a consistent and supportive approach at home. She is incredibly adaptable, meeting each child’s unique needs while helping them build confidence in their own abilities. Her dedication and expertise make her an invaluable support for any family. Highly recommend!"
Pam & Tonio are like family. My daughter has flourished under their care! Here are some of the reasons I rate them so highly:
- my daughter will be cared for as she was their own; I trust them completely
- she is exposed to outdoors fun, music, dance, creative arts, educational toys and books
- Pam & Tonio guide her lovingly through how to socialise, manage her emotions and process the world around her
- she is well fed, entertained, looked after when feeling ill
- she is challenged and held to kind, loving boundaries without shame or humiliation
- I get daily updates and pictures via app
- she is treated like an individual and they know her so well
My daughter started going when she was 10months old and is now 3 -- I cannot imagine her leaving. They have helped shape my child into who she is: independent, empathetic, curious, sociable and advanced in language, numbers, social skills.
They're miraculous and I am so lucky I found them.
My daughter loves Sarah and her family! She takes care of the children as if they were her own kids. She gives really good advice when you need to and cares a lot about their development and achievements! She keeps us posted re the kid’s activities, achievements, and meals on a daily basis, which is very useful and great to know!
We are very lucky of having her!
Nancy provides a loving nurturing environment for our toddler with a good combination of play, learning and days out to the park, farm etc.
She looks forward to her visits and always has a smile on her face when we go. It is also lovely to see how well all the kids interact and become friends with each other.
Tracy looked after my little boy for a few months when I returned to work after maternity leave. She has truly been amazing and made going back to work feel so much easier, knowing my son was so well looked after. He was always so happy in her care and enjoyed all the fun days out! Tracy is kind, caring and fun. She made sure she gave regular updates and sent pictures, which were much appreciated. I had to change child minder due to moving house to a different area which made us all very sad! Highly recommend Tracy, she’s the best x

Mahnoor is an amazing childminder. She is very loving and caring. She is disciplined with the children and my child has learnt a lot from being with her. She takes them to parks and libraries lots of times a week. Mahnoor is a very lovely and friendly person to talk to. My English is not the best but Mahnoor has been very accommodating to me and my child and we are very thankful to her. She has made sure my child has all the skills needed to start school soon. It will be sad to leave Mahnoor when my child starts school in September as he has become very attached. Mahnoor is really an amazing childminder, you will not be disappointed.
I actually do not know where to start in saying how thankful we are for Jenny. She looked after my daughter from the ages of 2 until 6 years old, including the covid period.
Jenny is truly wonderful. She is so caring and nurturing.
We found Jenny by chance or possibly fate after my original child care plans fell through and luckily had the times we needed available. She was the first childminder we visited and I knew on that day Jenny was the one for us. She welcomed my daughter with open arms and cared for her so wonderfully. When covid hit and Jenny had to close she made sure to stay in touch and send out ideas and activities for us to try at home (she even bought and gave us and the other children she looked after a caterpillar to butterfly kit from insect lore). When able to reopen she did asap and with clear covid regulations and support.
Jenny has been with us through some very tough family times where she has not only cared for and supported our daughter but has offered support and advise for myself.
I can not praise or thank Jenny enough for all she has done for us. I hope she will always be in our lives in one way or another.
My daughter is doing very well at school and I think this has so much to do with the start to education she received in the lovely, home environment Jenny gave her.
Thank you for being our heaven sent star Jenny!
Sara looked after my middle child when he was a baby, and when I had my third I was thrilled she was available to look after him. The day Sara was starting I ended up in hospital with appendicitis and she has been such a huge support during my recovery providing wonderful care and being so flexible and helpful - I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her ! She is such a lovely and calm person it’s a pleasure to see her every day. Thank you Sara !

Yvettes childcare setting is everything you could ask for when leaving your child with somebody, we looked for a child minder with a held back mindset when our little girl turned 14 months old and from meeting a few providers we didn’t think we would ever be able to fully trust somebody but then we met Yvette and I instantly felt at ease like we had just found our child minder!
She does so much with the children such as groups/librarys/parks and is teaching her so much stuff that I can’t be there to teach her in the day time.
She is very clean, organised and truely invested in individual development stages of all her children.
my little girl walks in of a morning with a smile on her face and leaves with that same smile if not a bigger one every day and it’s a true testament to how well she’s cared for!

We feel so lucky to have found Delphine as a childminder for our daughter, Nova, who absolutely adores her. From the moment we met Delphine, it was clear that she genuinely loves and enjoys what she does, and that passion shines through in the care she provides.
She creates such a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children. They spend so much time outdoors, getting fresh air and exploring nature, as well as doing wonderful arts and crafts activities. She also prepares lovely, nutritious meals, which is just another example of how much thought and care she puts into their well-being.
Nova has flourished under Delphine’s care—she is a happy, confident little girl with fantastic communication skills, which I truly believe is thanks to the time and effort Delphine puts into engaging with her and the other children.
Thank you Delphine!
Our daughter has been going to Alex's for nearly 2 school years. If I pick my daughter up earlier than usual from Alex's, she (my daughter, not Alex) frowns at me and says "daddy, why did you pick me up early?". Later that evening, I'll get a polite reminder never to do it again, even if I've taken an afternoon off work to take her for an ice cream. This pretty much sums it up - she would live there 24/7 if she could... and I don't blame her. Alex cooks home-cooked food, has a lovely, light and airy house and garden and - crucially - seems to have the patience of a saint. It's incredibly comforting knowing that while we're at work, our daughter is living her best life - and we're incredibly grateful to Alex for that. If I ever get reincarnated, I hope my childhood involves a stint at Alex's.
