Justyna is looking after my 3 years old daughter for 1,5 year. I’m extremely happy with the care my daughter gets. She is very happy to visit Justyna. Justyna done amazing job to make my daughter to settle in. Justyna’s service is high quality, friendly, flexible and understanding of different needs.
My daughter loves being with Justyna, hers kids and other kids. She loves to do creative things which Justyna provides, going to play groups, playgrounds, gymnastics and a lot of more activities, never boring day for my little one. I can see a lot of improvements my daughters education.
Great communication, always explain how was my daughter during a day.
I’m so lucky to have found Justyna.

We’ve been very happy with the care Munira has provided for our daughter, Aria, from April 2024 until now. Munira has always been kind, patient, and attentive to Aria’s needs. She created a safe, warm, and nurturing environment where Aria felt happy and comfortable every day.
As Aria is now getting ready to start school this autumn, we want to thank Munira for all her dedication, support, and care throughout this period. We truly appreciate everything she has done and wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and reliable childminder.
With gratitude,
Paula (Aria’s mum)
I recently moved to Hertford and started using Michelle to care for my 6 year old son before and after school and I couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning she has been warm, welcoming and professional. My son settled in so quickly, which says a lot for the calm and caring environment she provides.
As a single parent with a job involving 12 hour days and a long commute, I really appreciate her flexibility, she kindly offers early mornings and late evenings (babysitting) to suit my schedule, which has made a huge difference - Her support has been truly appreciated.
Michelle’s setting is clean,safe and has lots of engaging toys and activities for all ages.
My son especially enjoys playing with Michelle’s son and absolutely loves her 2 little dogs, they have become the highlight of his day! He always comes home happy, chatty and full of stories. In fact he said himself recently that Michelle should be rated ‘outstanding’.
I feel so lucky to have found Michelle and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other parents.

My daughter has been with Melissa since she 2022 and she has been amazing and supportive every step of the way. My daughter really enjoys the activities and play that Melissa offers and she’s great at understanding my daughter’s needs. Melissa is reliable and trustworthy and i would truly recommend her services!
I am writing to confirm that Becca was employed by our family from July 2023 to November 2023. She initially joined us as a nightly maternity nurse, supporting us through the early weeks with our newborn. Her expertise, calm demeanour, and reliable overnight care were invaluable. As our needs evolved, she transitioned seamlessly into a maternity nanny role, providing daytime support, nurturing care, and gentle routine guidance for our baby. Her professionalism, warmth, and commitment gave us peace of mind during a crucial period. The role ended due to our planned relocation back to the USA in November 2023, otherwise we would have gladly continued with her support.
Becca was responsible for all aspects of childcare.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Food prep and transitioning to weaning with my youngest. Getting them dressed and ready and all aspects of baby hygiene. She would assist with child related duties such as their laundry and cleaning of play areas.
Becca was always very respectful of our home and treated it with care tidying up after herself. Becca provided specialist care for my son who has severe silent reflux and was medicated from a very young age. Becca also identified my youngest had jaundice when returning home from the hospital for which he ended up receiving light therapy treatment.
Becca encouraged early weaning to help with some of the reflux related issues we faced. She also helped us schedule a routine to get our little one self settling and sleeping through the night by around 5-6 months.
Sole charge of 18 m/o girl. Planning all age appropriate activities and outings. Going to scheduled classes 3 times a week (gymnastics, football and ballet). Then arranging all activities outside of this. Then would take her also to swimming, museums, the zoo, parks, soft play and playgroups.
Becca was an excellent nanny I am gutted she would not relocate to Surrey with us but I totally understand. She was reliable, punctual and very organised. Becca was incredible always engaging my daughter, hosting play dates with her friends like a Christmas card making morning, taking her to Christmas parties and friends parties. I saw my daughter’s language skills and social skills improve immensely with her time spent with Becca. She gained her own friendship groups and become very empathetic and considerate of others around her.
M is now thriving and I believe being around Becca was key to this developmental and personality change. I definitely saw the difference with how my child responded to Becca then with her previous nannies, she was a totally different child, confident, curious, fearless and so caring and she was so happy, before she was very quiet, reserved and scared of new things.
Alex looked after our daughter for 3 years and it was the best start to our her education. Alex's childminding setting is warm and welcoming and gives the children the opportunity to thrive while being outside in her wonderful garden. Our daughter came away all set for school with an added bonus of some Spanish. Alex really takes the time to learn what makes your child unique and will work with you on any issues you or your child may be facing.

Uzma helps with drop off and pick up for my daughter a year now, she has never ever been late, spot on time every day. She also cheers up my daughter in the morning when some days are difficult for the child to wake up and go and encourages her. Uzma has lot of patience and is very kind, caring. I feel extremely content, happy and safe to have my child with her at all times. She would not mind to go and pick up my child in between school timings if required. Uzma has lot of experience and knows exactly how to look after children, my daughter loves going with Uzma and does not want anyone else to do the pick or drop off. She enjoys Uzma's company a lot, very lucky to have her, I would highly recommend her to any parent.
Victoria came to babysit my 2 children 7 and 4yo for the day. She was a lovely person, very smiley and bubbly. My children were talking about her the whole evening after that and my youngest even said she wants to see Victoria again soon☺️. Would definitely recommend her and thank you again for your hard work!

We had such a wonderful experience with Tammy. From the moment we made contact, she was incredibly warm, attentive, and responsible. Our daughter absolutely adores her. Tammy is patient, engaging, and genuinely loved spending time with her.
There’s no better feeling than knowing your child is in safe and loving hands. We’re so grateful to have found Tammy, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.
Sarah has been looking after my little girl for years and has always been so supportive and understanding always professional and fun activities for the children.
My little girl loves going there and always talking about her children.
Can't recommend Sarah enough so professional and always gives lots of advanced notifications and emails of any changes.
We will miss her when we move on to primary.
Elaine has been fantastic. My child has been so happy there and looks forward to going every morning. Elaine opens the door with a smile and invests a lot of time and care in my child’s development.
Elaine is very good at keeping in constant communication with the parents. She sends regular updates and photos from the day which is much appreciated.
Elaine is very active with the kids and has a lot of variety in the activities she does with them. She makes sure they go out every day to playgroups and takes them on outings to museums, galleries, the library and parks during half term.
Highly recommend Elaine – she is dedicated and devoted and has built a wonderful nurturing and warm environment for young children to grow, learn, explore and play.
Emma Lou looks after my three children before and after school, and she’s been amazing. The kids love going to her. She’s kind and organised. Mornings are smooth and stress-free, and after school she keeps them happy, fed, and engaged. I feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommended! xx
Cheryl has been caring for both of our daughters since September 2019 and is currently childminding our youngest, Sophia, three times a week. From the outset, Cheryl has treated our children with the utmost love, care and kindness, creating a warm and nurturing environment that has helped them thrive.
One of the most reassuring aspects of Cheryl’s care is the peace of mind she gives us as parents. On mornings when Sophia may be upset at drop-off, we know she is going to a safe and comforting place where she is well looked after. We have never had any concerns regarding safeguarding, and Cheryl consistently maintains a professional and child-centred approach.
Cheryl keeps us updated throughout the day with regular messages and photos, which we find incredibly helpful and reassuring. She provides a balanced and healthy diet, ensuring that Sophia is well-fed with nutritious meals.
Each day is thoughtfully planned and full of variety. Whether it's indoor creative activities or trips outside, there’s always something engaging. Sophia enjoys visits to the park, library, soft play, playgroups, farms, and messy play events, all of which support her development and social skills.
Cheryl has also been very supportive with potty training, offering gentle encouragement and consistency. Her communication with us is excellent, and we particularly appreciate the detailed progress folder she shares every half term. The reports are always accurate and reflective of the children’s true abilities and character, clearly demonstrating how well she knows them – first with Annabelle and now with Sophia.
We are incredibly grateful for the care Cheryl provides and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.

Shilpi is a kind, caring and dedicated childcare professional who I would recommend without hesitation.
She was respectful and understanding when I was worried about leaving my daughter, listening to all my requests and supporting wherever she could. When my daughter was struggling to settle without me, Shilpi asked her favourite songs, foods, toys and activities to make sure she felt as safe as possible, and it was clear how much care and effort was being out in to ensuring my daughter was happy and well looked after.
Thank you Shilpi
Our little one has been with Jess for just over a year and moving him from a nursery setting has been the best thing we ever did.
Jess is an amazing practitioner, always thinking of ways to encourage children’s learning and building upon their likes.
Jess provides daily updates with pictures (something we rarely got at his nursery setting!) she keeps us informed of his daily learning and a general run down of the day.
Jess has created some amazing experiences my little one wouldn’t of received in a normal nursery setting such as visits to national trust grounds, strawberry picking, visits to an equestrian centre twice monthly to look after a pony, trips to the park, library etc.
Alongside these amazing outings, Jess provides a great learning space in her home and garden. She’s invested in her garden to encourage learning through play outside as well as creating some lovely spaces inside her home such as the play room and reading snug!
Jess has always been clear on her illness policies and we respect these as we know she is looking out for other children in her setting and ensuring her setting is safe for all.
It must be noted that since starting with Jess, our little one has grown ten fold. She has encouraged his speech and his independence as well as his love for the outdoors and animals around him. We are so pleased we get to stay with Jess for another year before school and I will recommend Jess to anyone who asks for a childminder.
