Sherelle has show a very warm and friendly attitude towards me and my children, she is very professional in her work and my son loves to attend. I would highly recommend Sherelle as she really does take her job seriously and has such love and care for the children.
Sadika looked after my son from when he was 1 until he went to nursery at 3 years old. She offers a wonderful and loving setting, a real home from home. I remember when I was looking at childminders I began to feel a bit despondent thinking that I wouldn't be able to find someone with the right fit. Until I went to Sadika's. The moment I stepped inside I felt the love, the warmth, the joy and the absolute care that she offers the children. I knew from the moment that I saw her that my son would get the best experience with her and her mum (ama). My son would cry at almost every drop off due to major separation anxiety) and she would always reassure me and send pictures throughout the day to show how happy and settled he was. It's a testament to her that at every pick up he was in the best of moods and so happy!
Not only does she offer such a lovely setting for the little ones but she's also extremely flexible and accommodating. There was many a time I asked for ad hoc childcare, and for her to look after my older school children which was an absolute godsend at times.
Sadika does many activities with the children including arts and crafts and learning about all different religious festivals which is really great. The food is nutritious and delicious and she is generous with her time and gifts she bestows on the children. I would highly recommend her to anyone and want to thank her so much for all the care she took of son.
I have a 2yr old and 1yr who have been taken care of by Tina and her care, communication, warmth is amazing. By boys absolutely love their time with Tina and I have always been made to feel at ease with the entire process from initial visit, settle sessions and ongoing care. So well equipped in her lovely family home and huge garden. Would recommend to anyone!
Our daughter has only just started with Tina and like any parents both my husband and I were quite nervous at first. From day one she put us completely at ease. Tina has been amazing with our daughter and it’s clear how caring and attentive she is. Tina offers a lovely variety of activities and always communicates well which we really appreciate. We already feel so confident leaving our daughter in Tina’s care.
We found Mandy after a bad start with a previous childminder and she completely changed our lives. My daughter has been going to Mandy’s for a year now. from the first meeting she was so warm and welcoming, I knew my daughter would be well cared for and have the best time which just shows from the fact she never wants to leave at pick up! She is always taking them to various playgroups and on day trips to the farm etc, sends all parents updates and pictures everyday of what the kiddies have been up to which is always lovely when you’re missing them during the day. I can’t put into words how grateful we are to have Mandy knowing poppy is in a safe & fun environment.
My son has attended Tina’s for nearly a year now and we couldn’t be happier with how he is developing but more importantly how happy and settled he is there. It’s like a real home from home to him. He is excited to attend and always comes home talking about the fun activities he has taken part in.
We honestly could not ask for a better childminder than Tina and her brilliant team. Our little one has been with Tina since he was 9 months old and is now 2 and absolutely thriving.
From day one, he has been loved, understood, encouraged and genuinely cared for. Tina and her assistants create the perfect balance of warmth, structure and fun. The setting is calm, safe, stimulating and clearly designed with children at the heart of it.
Every day is packed with enriching, play-based learning. There are constant activities, crafts, outdoor play and regular trips out, all thoughtfully planned and age-appropriate. You can tell how much effort goes into making each day exciting and meaningful.
The biggest endorsement? Our toddler adores Tina and her team. Every morning he’s excited, shoes on, bag ready, shouting “let’s go!” at the door.
Communication is excellent. We’re always kept up to date, know what he’s been doing, how he’s feeling and what he’s learning. Tina is approachable, professional and incredibly experienced, which gives us total peace of mind.
If you’re looking for a childminder who treats your child like one of their own, provides a nurturing environment, and helps them grow in confidence, independence and joy, you honestly won’t find better than Tina and her team. We feel so lucky to have found them.
Highly, highly recommend.
Our son has been with Mandy since January 2024 and I cannot even put in words just how amazing Mandy has been. Ronnie started off in a nursery setting which didn’t feel right for him which made going to work for me extremely tough I knew I had to make a decision fast on moving him to an environment he felt more comfortable in. The minute we met Mandy we knew she would be the right fit instantly and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done. Ronnie absolutely adores her and he has thrived in her care. He looks forward to his days with Mandy which is such a weight off our shoulders knowing he is happy in her setting. She does so much with the children in her care and she goes above and beyond with absolutely everything .

My little boy has been attending Karen's since he was 7 months old. He still goes to her during the holidays now he's in reception and adores his time there. Karen and her wonderful family are an extension of my own and my return to work wouldn't have been as seamless as it was if we didn't have her. She cares for the children in her setting as her own, always provides yummy food (which I often wish I could have too!) and gets them outside in all weather. Their minds are active with a variety of activities and she reinforces all the values we instill at home. We love receiving regular updates throughout the day from her and plenty of pictures too. I couldn't recommend her more!
My son has been so happy with Karen over the last year and a half. She has a lovely home from home environment and he settled in very quickly. They are always doing fun activities and trips to the zoo, rushmere etc.
We've been lucky enough to have worked with Talia for a year. She's super reliable, despite our difficult schedules, and she's fun - my kids love her. One kid went through some issues with eating and she was super patient and understanding, and helped him get over them. She's great at updating me by text message while I'm travelling, so I don't worry. The kids are happy for me to travel because it means they get time with Talia.
We cannot recommend Zehra highly enough. She supported our family two nights a week during the first three months of our daughter Jack’s life and was truly a godsend. From the very first night, her calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach immediately put us at ease. Zehra cared for Jack with incredible gentleness and love, while also teaching my husband and me invaluable techniques around newborn sleep.
Thanks to her guidance and support, Jack was sleeping through the night by the end of our time together—something we never imagined possible so early on. Zehra was consistently punctual, professional, and respectful of our home, yet always warm and reassuring. Her expertise and genuine care made those early weeks far more manageable and enjoyable for our entire family. If you have the opportunity to work with Zehra, don’t hesitate—she is truly exceptional.
We are incredibly grateful to have had Bahar care for our daughter. She is kind, responsible, and genuinely wonderful with children. From the very first day, she built a trusting and loving relationship with our daughter, making her feel safe, happy, and comfortable in her care.
She is always punctual, dependable, and attentive to details. She keeps us informed, follows routines carefully, and handles every situation with calm and maturity. Our daughter looks forward to spending time with her, which says everything about the quality of care she provides.
We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated babysitter. She has been a true blessing to our family.
Nafisa has been absolutely amazing with my son. She is kind, caring, and truly in tune with understanding children’s needs. My son loved being in her care and was always learning something new. Nafisa also took my son and other children on little adventures, keeping them thoroughly engaged, entertained, and happy. On occasions I would’ve sent pictures and videos which is really assuring to see how your little one is getting on. I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and highly recommend her to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. 💛
Shini has worked with our family for six months, caring for our 3-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl. During that time, she has been consistently reliable despite our complex schedule, always punctual, and deeply committed to our children. She had worked with us every weekday as an after school nanny and regularly assisted on weekends as a babysitter.
Shini approaches her work with genuine care. In addition to childcare, she helps us daily with light housekeeping, such as cleaning the kitchen, folding laundry, tidying up, and sometimes even preparing amazing food (she loves cooking, lucky for us!).
We would highly recommend Shini to any family seeking a nanny, babysitter, or housekeeper, and would be happy to provide a reference. She has quickly become an important and trusted part of our family, and we look forward to working with her for many years to come.

Mary is an exceptional childminder. She is a strong and positive role model, and it’s clear that the children truly look up to her. One of the things we value most is how she takes the time to really understand each child as an individual — their personality, their needs, and what helps them thrive.
Her setting feels safe, nurturing, and full of thoughtful activities that support learning and confidence. Our child feels completely at ease with her, and we see the impact of her guidance every day.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have Mary in our child’s life. She is caring, professional, and genuinely dedicated to the wellbeing of the children she looks after. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking outstanding childcare.

We have used Una for just 1 year now and our son absolutely loves going to their house. Most days, doesn’t want to leave!
He’s always happy and full of stories at the end of the day.
It’s clear he feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. This gives us complete peace of mind.
We’re so grateful for the love, patience, and kindness Una and her family gives him.

Joanne is very friendly, caring, and approachable. My son is happy and comfortable with her, which means a lot to me. He has ASN and Joanne has been very understanding and supportive. I feel confident leaving him in her care and would happily recommend her to other parents.
