Honestly couldn’t thank lisa enough for her services!
From day one you've always created such a happy, safe and caring environment where she’s been able to grow in confidence and learn so much.
It's been so reassuring knowing she was in such kind and capable hands every day. We've loved seeing the special bond you all had built together, and we're so grateful for all the care, patience and fun you've given them.
As parents we would always recommend lisa to anyone we can and would definitely use her services again and again!
thank you lisa!
Our experience with this nursery was deeply concerning and distressing. The following is a factual summary.
After we raised concerns about this nursery’s behaviour regarding our daughter’s care in several areas, the responses we received appeared increasingly dismissive and vexatious.
Matters ultimately became serious enough for us to seek legal advice and to involve the Information Commissioner’s Office and Ofsted.
The nursery changed ownership during the process. We approached the new owners hoping to resolve the outstanding issues, but unfortunately found further unwillingness to meaningfully engage with matters which we considered to be extremely serious.
It therefore became necessary for us to bring court proceedings against the nursery for a number of serious issues. Those proceedings were ultimately decided in our favour by the court and we obtained a county court judgement in default against the nursery.
The entire experience has caused considerable distress to our family and had a lasting impact on our wellbeing, requiring around a year of legal action and liaison with several statutory bodies in order to resolve.
Upon removing our daughter from Amberley, the immediate contrast since she started at a childminder and then subsequently at a new nursery was extremely notable, on both her and us.
Based on our experience, we would very strongly not recommend Amberley nursery to any other parents and we continue to have very significant concerns about its behaviour and culture.
From day one the level of love and care from Kashian, Joan and Ricky was very apparent and special. It’s a big thing for any parent putting their child into care for the first time. However we felt instantly at ease and received regular updates thoroughly the day on how he was getting along. Their 20+ years experience in this field really shines through in all aspects and our little one received the best start to child care that we could have ever hoped for. Highly recommended this setting
I couldn’t be happier with the care my daughter received at Megan's setting. My daughter started with Megan when I returned to work at the end of my maternity leave in September 2023, my daughter went from not wanting to be left with anyone to absolutely loving going to Megan's and sometimes she didn't want to come home!
Megan has a warm, nurturing approach that creates a home away from home where my daughter was not only safe but also thrived both socially and emotionally.
Every time my daughter went to Megan's we would come home and hear about her fun and engaging activities—from creative indoor play to exciting outdoor adventures that get her moving and exploring and all the learning/creative activities that they had done during the day which my daughter loved bringing home to show off to everyone.
Megan's constant updates, complete with photos/videos and little stories of her day, makes me feel truly connected to her world and feel at ease knowing she was having the best time ever!
Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you so much.
My daughter loved going to Megan's that much that when she left to go to school my daughter told me she had to keep going to Megan's, so now she goes after school on a Wednesday and still never wants to leave! I honestly can't recommend Megan enough.🤭
I have booked Harmeet twice, and the first time I met her she made me and my son felt so welcomed, he automatically trusted her and started playing with her the first time they met, I have had 2 amazing night outs, no issues no worries and always received updates about my son from her, she is amazing and her service is a 10/10 and I am honestly grateful for her.

Well, I don’t really know where to start Dana has been there with so much support throughout our daughters journey. She gave me the reassurance that I needed to be able to go to work knowing that our daughter was in the best home from home care. She has provided thorough observations and tracking information helping us get the appropriate support involved (speech and language and IDS)
I couldn’t recommend her more! Book her now!
Nahaid has been my childminder for 5 years now and I consider her an extension of my family. She js so kind and has been a huge part in my daughters’ lives. My eldest has been with her since she was 2.5 (now 7.5) and my youngest since 8 months (now 5.5). They adore Nahaid. Nahaid has seen them through the early years and has been doing pick ups for them from a local school which has worked really well. I recommend Nahaid as a childcare for younger children as well as wrap around care. She organises daily playgroup visits, park trips and bigger trips to museums across the city. I much prefer sending my children to her rather than after school club, because it is a home from home environment and they are able to relax properly in a home environment while continuing to play and do fun activities instead of just having an extension of the school day. I cannot recommend Nahaid enough. I feel so lucky that we found her. She is kind, nurturing and knows what children need. She is well aware of the early years syllabus and actively works to ensure children are meeting milestones. Her home is clean and tidy, with lots of activities available for children.
Our boys have been with Nicole for 3 years and we couldn’t ask for a better childminder. She has supported and developed them over the years with all the activities and days out she plans. She provides a safe, fun and engaging setting and always keeps us up to date on what they’ve been doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, kind and friendly childminder!

Our baby was with her for around two months, and we had a very positive experience. She was caring, attentive and always listened to any specific needs or requests we had. We felt our baby was safe, happy and well cared for throughout. We would happily recommend her to other parents.
Shannon is truly all we could have hoped for and more. She is kind, playful, positive, reliable, active and a great communicator. Not to mention experienced, knowing what children need and how to engage with them in a positive and safe way.
We find ourselves beyond fortunate to have Shannon in our family's lives. We couldnt say enough about Shannon. She's the best!

My Daughter has been with Little Learners for over a year now and I can not recommend them enough.
My child's development has come on leaps and bounds being in their care and she is always so happy when I collect her I know she's had a great day. As a first time Mum I'm so grateful for Sarah who always reassures me with my overthinking and offers her advice if I need it. I feel so blessed to have found Sarah and Graham and wouldn't want my Daughter to go anywhere else. They bring fun, learning and a great family environment together. I really don't think my child would have come on with her development the way she has at nearly 2 without Sarah and Grahams teachings. A solid 5 stars from me.
My little girl has been at little learners for over a year now since she was 7 months old. I can not recommend Graham and Sarah more highly. Its a fabulous home from home setting with so much learning and fun. My Daughters development has come on leaps and bounds being in their care and she's always so happy when I collect her I can tell she's always had a great day! She absolutely loves Graham and gets so excited to see him. I feel so lucky to have found little learners and am so grateful to both for the care they provide.
We cannot thank Harpreet and her team enough for the incredible care they provided for our son, Kai. Kai joined at 12 months old and, from the very beginning, they were compassionate, caring, patient, and truly dedicated to helping him settle in and feel comfortable. Their support during the settling-in period made a huge difference, and it was clear how much they genuinely cared about his wellbeing.
During his time there, Kai developed so much, and we saw the positive impact on a day-to-day basis. He grew in confidence, learned new skills, and most importantly, had so much fun along the way. It was wonderful to see how happy and excited he was each day.
The daily updates, photos, and videos provided us with so much comfort and reassurance as parents. Seeing how Kai was thriving, engaging in activities, and enjoying his time gave us complete confidence that he was in the best hands.
We were also so impressed with the amazing nutritious meals that were provided. Kai absolutely loved the food, and it was reassuring to know he was offered such healthy and varied options throughout the day.
Kai will truly miss coming here, which speaks volumes about the warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment Harpreet and her team have created. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such wonderful childminders and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family. Although Kai has now moved on, we know that Harpreet will continue to be our first choice for childcare in the future. As he grows, should we ever need childcare support again, we would not hesitate to return, knowing he would be welcomed back into such a caring and trusted environment.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most wonderful childminder!
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Chrissy look after both of our boys. She cared for Max from 18 months old for two years, and then looked after Philip from when he was just 10 months old fr anther 2 years. I honestly cannot thank her enough.
Chrissy is such a kind, warm, caring, easygoing, creative and trustworthy person. Both of our boys absolutely adore her, and our whole family does too! They settled so quickly and were always genuinely happy and excited to go to Chrissy’s.
The boys had such a wonderful variety of activities — arts and crafts, baking, learning numbers and counting, walks, museums and, every Thursday, forest school. They made lots of lovely friends and had so many happy experiences and memories.
I always knew they were in safe and loving hands. They ate well, were beautifully cared for, and always came home happy and clean! 😊
What makes Chrissy truly special is the genuine love she has for children. She creates such a warm, calm, safe and welcoming environment where children feel secure, happy and encouraged to learn and explore.
I could always rely on Chrissy, and knowing my boys were happy and so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Chrissy to anyone looking for a childminder. She isn't just a five-star childminder — she is a million-star childminder! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you, Chrissy, for all the love, care and wonderful memories you have given our boys. You will always have a very special place in our family’s hearts. ❤️
We couldn’t recommend Olivia highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been absolutely wonderful with Niamh and has made such a positive difference to her time in her care.
Olivia is incredibly caring, kind and nurturing, and it has always been so clear just how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. Niamh has been so happy, settled and excited to go, which has given us complete peace of mind knowing she is so well cared for.
Olivia has done an amazing job of helping prepare Niamh for starting school, supporting her development while making learning fun and giving her so many wonderful experiences, adventures and memories along the way. We have watched Niamh grow in confidence, independence and happiness so much during her time with her.
We are so incredibly grateful for all the love, care, patience and effort Olivia has given Niamh. Finding someone you can completely trust with your child is so important, and we feel incredibly lucky that we found her.
Thank you, Olivia, for everything you have done for Niamh and for giving her such a happy and special start. Niamh will miss you and we know just how much she has loved her time with you.
We honestly couldn’t recommend Olivia highly enough! ❤️
Jenny has been looking after my son since he was 11 months old (he is now 2). We started off doing 3 days per week with Jenny but quickly increased to 4. Throughout that time they have built such a lovely relationship and Jenny has seen him through several important developmental stages from weaning to dropping his 2nd nap, learning to walk, talk and now on to potty training. I chose to work with Jenny based on our first meeting. We went for an interview at her house and within minutes she had my little one (who is quite clingy) playing happily on the floor with age appropriate toys while we chatted. It was really different to the nursery's i'd been touring where i had found that, while clearly caring and qualified, none of the staff connected with him on a personal level that quickly. I strongly agree with the other reviews on here about how Jenny goes above and beyond in terms of providing a rich and varied experience for the kids she minds, and that the dynamics between the different age groups are a positive part of that. But i also really appreciates that she has always been very happy to work with me on keeping to a predictable and age-appropriate routine, so i feel confident when i collect him that he will have napped and eaten well during the day, but will also have been awake long enough to go to bed on time for me in the evening. I also think it's worth mentioning that i am a single parent and Jenny has been very sensitive to this both in practical terms (such as offering me a bit of additional flexibility about pick up time when i was delayed at work and there was nobody else to call), and on a emotional level too (for example she asked me in advance how i wanted to deal with fathers day and suggested making a grandad card instead). I have also used the babysitting services Jenny offers to parents of kids she minds to help with long work days and occasional social stuff too, and when i have been ill but my kid has been well. As other parents have said in previous reviews, communication with Jenny is fast and friendly, and the photos she sends in the day are lovely to receive. But the best evidence i have that she does a great job is that when i pick my boy up, he is smiling and happy and gives her a big goodbye kiss at the end of each day.
Five stars is not enough to express how grateful we are for Sue Seaton. Sue has done an absolute world-class job looking after our son, Hamdaan.
From day one, Sue was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Her genuine warmth and nurturing nature made Hamdaan feel completely safe and loved right away. Under her care, we have watched him transform into such a polite, well-mannered, and thoughtful 3-year-old. She didn't just look after him—she truly helped shape his character and taught him wonderful values, patience, and good manners that shine through every day.
We are so deeply appreciative of everything Sue has done for our family. She goes above and beyond, and any child is exceptionally lucky to be in her care. Thank you so much, Sue, for being such a positive, impactful force in Hamdaan's early years!
I could not recommend Nicci highly enough. She has looked after my son from 10 months old and the care, love and support she has given has been beyond amazing.
She has helped him grow in confidence, learn new skills and become independent, whilst always ensuring he is happy and safe.
He is completely ready for school now and we feel incredibly reassured knowing Nicci has given him such a wonderful foundation and prepared him so well for his next big step.
Nicci has become such an important part of all of our lives, we are so grateful for everything she has done for us as a family, she has gone above and beyond.
Thank you for everything Nic - we honestly couldn't of asked for anyone better!!!
