Sarah has been absolutely amazing. She showed up on time, after being asked for availability last minute, and has taken care of our daughter who was feeling unwell. She was great at communicating with me before and during the time she was with us, being very professional and reliable. Our daughter was at ease with her and even managed a couple of naps despite feeling poorly. I highly recommend her!
We was very reluctant to leave our boy with anybody and went to various nurseries and nothing made us feel it was right for us.
We then looked into childminding as a potential and more personal touch and visited a few and still wasn’t convinced before being totally comfortable and so glad we did as our boy has come on massively both socially and academically, we can’t thank her enough!
It’s been difficult for him to leave us sometimes but then we get photos of him enjoying himself throughout the day which is lovely when you’re at work!
Always in contact with us and couldn’t recommend Sara enough :)

Jojo was brilliant. I had been nervous with this being our first baby and our first experience of having a night nurse, but how wrong I was. Jojo was brilliant, having her for that first night home from the hospital after my c section was a game changer. It really set me up for success as a first time mum.
Jojo is so knowledgeable, confident and happy to offer advice, support and guidance where wanted and needed. Our baby struggled with some mild colic signs but Jojo made some great recommendations which resolved the issues. Jojo also got us into a brilliant bed time routine and baby is now happily sleeping well at 6 weeks, whilst thriving and gaining great weight.
Jojo made me feel at ease and it was lovely catching up with her when she would arrive for the evening.
Would highly recommend!!
I got in contact with Jojo to explore working with her in her Sleep Consultancy capacity. For 2 weeks we worked together remotely, across 3 phone calls and plenty of WhatsApp messages, as she helped me with my 3 week old baby. I was keen to create “good sleep habits” and Jojo got it immediately. She listens to your situation and what you want to achieve then creates a plan which she guides you through expertly. I loved, as a new mum, having someone to speak to and get advice from. My baby is nearly 6 weeks and has got some really good sleep habits now thanks to Jojo. When the time comes to give her a “routine” I’ll be back in touch as Jojo’s methods and advice really work! Also a lovely lady in general who is very responsive and kind natured.

Jaz has been absolutely wonderful with our twin girls - they are so happy with her and have grown into confident engaged kids under her care who love to move, play and talk all day! Taking on 10 month old twins isn't easy but the girls have just thrived under Jaz's care and I cannot recommend her enough!
We feel so lucky to have found Dawn! From the moment we met her, we knew our child would be in safe, nurturing, and capable hands. She provides a warm, welcoming environment where children feel at home and are encouraged to learn, play, and grow.
Our little one absolutely loves going there and always comes home happy, often coming home having learnt a new skill or song!
The setting is clean, safe, and well-equipped with age-appropriate toys and educational materials.
What really sets Dawn apart is her genuine care and attention to each child’s needs. She communicates regularly with updates and photos, which gives us such peace of mind during the day.
We couldn’t recommend her more highly — she’s been a huge part of our child’s early development, and we’re so grateful!

Ewa is caring, friendly and has made sure our son was happy and settled every time we dropped him off. Our son loves it when he has a ' Ewa day'. Ewa provides a large variety of activities and she has a lovely outside space too for children to use. I very much recommend Ewa to anyone looking for childcare.
Our 2-year-old son has been with Mama Bear Childminding since September 2024, starting part-time and now attending full-time. Sarah provides a warm, nurturing environment and has taken the time to truly understand and support our son’s individual needs. His confidence and language have come on leaps and bounds, and he comes home full of stories, songs, and smiles.
Sarah plans wonderful activities — from playgroups and forest school to trips to the zoo, safari park, and events— giving our son a rich and joyful childhood experience. As first-time parents, we also appreciate the support and guidance she gives us.
Choosing Sarah has been the best decision. Knowing our son is safe, happy, and thriving in her care means the world to us. We're very grateful to have her in our lives.
Katy has been in our little one’s life since he was 11months old. Having just turned 3, he has spent the last 2 years in Katy’s wonderful care. Her setting is far superior to any that I have seen. She has poured her heart and soul into the space and is wonderful with the children. She is an angel. If I could give a million stars I would.
Our little one was lucky enough to have Eszter as her nanny from 5 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. Eszter took the time to really understand our little girl, with napping, and her general day to day routine. She updated us on their daily activities when we weren’t at home, and it was amazing seeing our little one so happy and settled. Eszter provided non stop fun and cared so well. We would highly recommend Eszter!

Sara has looked after my son for over 2 years. He absolutely loves his time with her! She is very trustworthy and provides the best care for every child in her setting.
They often attend groups and do lots of activities to improve their basic skills. She is super friendly and provides the best home from home setting. We are so lucky to have Sara as our childminder!

I want the whole world to know how much we appreciate you and Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️
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.
Very highly recommended, She is Amazing Childminder
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.
