I couldn't recommend Faye highly enough, she really is the very best you could hope for when choosing a setting for your child. We have been working with Faye for the last 5 years and I never fail to be amazed by her ability in managing the very distinct needs of multiple children at any one time whilst making it look like the easiest thing in the world!
You can't help but see how much Faye cares for the children she looks after, and they clearly adore her too. I wanted a setting where my child could be themselves, to be nurtured and develop but also be able to have as many cuddles as needed and I really found that with Faye. I couldn't believe how much my child developed in her care, becoming so much more confident, being able to follow a routine and learn so much so quickly - things I would never think to teach her she would come home bursting to show me. It is invaluable to know that your child is so happy and settled and simply having the best time in your absence.
Faye goes out of her way to provide an outstanding environment for her care, my child would often excitedly tell me about a new toy or garden equipment she had been enjoying - or drag me in to Faye's garden to demonstrate herself! And when you have been working all day and not with your child it is a delight to get to share a special moment with them and get a peek into their day. Faye really goes beyond expectations, I have lost count of the wonderful day trips she takes the children on and I hear first hand how happy they have been to go on another adventure.
My firstborn had several allergies and a complicated first couple of years working out some quite severe symptoms. Faye was so knowledgable and willing to work with us as we navigated various issues which at times were quite changeable. In addition, although linked, to food allergies we had numerous skin complaints and really relied on Faye to support us. I am not sure that all settings would have coped with a baby who seemingly had something different going on each week, just when we felt one area was solved we would have another issue but Faye never made us feel it was too much and I am forever grateful. It was not straightforward to ask Faye to administer medications, to adhere to dietary requirements, to follow skin protocols but she did and she did all that whilst also keeping a smile on a poorly child's face - I honestly don't think it gets much better than that.
Thank you Faye!

Wendy has been a nanny for our two children for over 5 years. They were aged 20 months and 3.5 years when she started, and are now 6 and 9. She was wonderful with the kids when they were small, dealing with potty training, naps, toddler food and baby groups. She has also been fantastic with older kids, doing fun activities like art and crafts, Lego, day trips in the holidays and hosting play dates. She also tackles homework. She is very caring and kind, but also has a knack with the kids so that they listen to her. Wendy is extremely reliable- she hasn’t let us down once in the five years she has been with us and her help and support has been a huge help to our family. Wendy is sadly leaving us to move closer to family and now that our kids are in full time education. She is a fantastic nanny and a wonderful person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We will miss her very much as will our kids.
This nursery is absolutely one of the best my daughter has been to. I had struggled to find somewhere that she could settle into and once I took her to Harbourview she settled very quickly on her settling in sessions. My little girl loves going to nursery and will go in with the girls no bother! She experiences a range of activities from sensory, messy play, free play, outdoor opportunities and structured activities for various cultural celebrations! The girls are very welcoming and engaging when it comes to hand overs, on a morning they are so lovely and reassuring and on evenings when picking up they are detailed with an account of what my daughter has been up to and what she has eaten. Couldn’t recommend anywhere else for children to go!
I understand how stressful it can be for first-time parents. I spent many months searching for the best childminders and visited over 20 places, but nothing seemed to meet my expectations until I found Adorable Angels
We feel incredibly lucky to have found AdorableAngels! From the very beginning, they created a warm and caring environment where our son has truly thrived. One of the most amazing things we've noticed is how quickly he developed under their care ,he even started walking at an early age!
The daily activities are always engaging and fun, helping him grow in confidence and independence. Adorable Angels is so attentive and encouraging, consistently supporting his development in the best possible way. The communication is fantastic, with regular updates that provide us with peace of mind.
The setting is safe, clean, and filled with wonderful toys and learning resources. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Adorable Angels to any parent looking for someone truly dedicated and passionate about childcare!

How do you begin to write about someone who has changed your child’s world?
I remember feeling so nervous about finding the ‘right person’ for Zoe. And we landed in a pool full of gold when we met Georgie. From the get go she was welcoming and reassured us.
Zoe has excelled here, and made some of the most wonderful friends. Georgie is a great communicator, cares for children with kindness, respect and empathy. Nothing is too much and she invests so much into your child’s world. The cabin is set up to be child friendly, with healthy food available.
You really feel part of the family here. Her husband Allan is also integral to the setting. Zoe often tell us how funny he is. Zoe leaves in September, after being with them since she was 10 months. Our hearts will actually break.
There is no doubt that Georgie’s care and support over these few years have nurtured Zoe into the gentle, friendly and loving girl she is. And we cannot thank them enough!
If we are ever blessed with more children I wouldn’t look anywhere else. They’re really the best people to have look after the most important thing in your lives.
Ann has childminded for my two boys from them being tiny babies to small children.
She shows love, care and patience at all times.
Ann is professional and works very hard. She has bent over backwards to support me and my family. During the birth of my second son, I had unexpected complications she had my eldest son overnight.
She has supported my boys to learn, develop and grow with my values at the heart of what she does.
Thank you Ann!
We’ve had such a great experience at Little Feet. Our little boy has been going from 6 months to 1.5 years, and we couldn’t be happier. We have unfortunately moved to another area and could no longer keep our son here. Ilona and her team were so kind, caring, and making sure our child feels safe and welcome.
What we loved the most is the home-environment feeling, communication, adaptability, and variety of activies (arts and crafts, outdoor plays, music, and dance). Our child was very happy to come every day. He has learned so much about playing and growing with other kids.
A huge thank you to Ilona for all the love and energy you put into making this place so special. We 100% recommend Ilona to any parents looking for a caring and engaging environment!
We had the pleasure of using Lorraine as our childminder for our son from the time he was 10 months old until we moved away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lorraine, along with Denise and Chelsea, provided a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where our son flourished. They are incredibly caring and attentive, and it's clear they have a genuine love for the children they look after.
Over the two years, our son developed into a confident and happy little boy. His language skills grew by leaps and bounds, and we always felt at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. He loved spending time with Lorraine and her team, and it was heartwarming to see how much they all genuinely cared for him.
Leaving Lorraine's care was one of the hardest parts of our move, and we will always be grateful for the positive impact they had on our son's early years. We will truly miss them. If you're looking for a childminder who is not only professional but also kind, loving, and truly invested in your child's well-being, we wholeheartedly recommend Lorraine.
Fantastic care for my little boy with autism. Maria is well trained and experienced. On every occasion she has been reliable and well organised, bringing lovely games and activities which are so enjoyable for him. Kind, attentive and she even teaches him bits of Spanish : ) Thank you Maria!

My son spent 1&1/2 very happy years at Brockley Buds. It’s a rare gem being a genuine family set up which creates such a loving, supportive and fun place full of singing dancing, art, books, play, outings! It’s like a miniature nursery where babies and toddlers are nurtured beautifully!
We’ve been so grateful to have Niv working with our daughter, who is in Year 2 and needs a bit of extra support due to suspected neurodivergence. She is a truly wonderful tutor—engaging, patient, and incredibly skilled at tailoring each lesson to our daughter’s specific needs.
Niv has a fantastic ability to make learning fun and engaging while also ensuring that a lot of meaningful work gets done in each session. Her sense of humor keeps my daughter interested, and her thoughtful approach has made a real difference in her confidence and progress. My daughter’s teacher has also mentioned that there has been a positive shift in confidence levels in school.
Lastly, I really appreciate Niv’s collaborative approach. With her support, I feel much more involved in my daughter’s learning. She assigns supplementary work for my daughter to do during the week and it has helped my husband and I have specific things to work on with our daughter.
If you’re looking for a tutor who is both effective and genuinely cares about their students, I can’t recommend Niv highly enough!

My son has been with Annie for just 2 months and he is absolutely thriving. He goes in to Annie’s house really happy and he comes back just as happy after a day full of fun.
Annie is so kind and really is brilliant at her job. She always goes the extra mile to be supportive and helpful. My son couldn’t be happier and neither could I.

My son has been attending Little Kingdom for just over a year now and the growth and development I have seen in him is amazing. He is thriving due to all the engagement and activities they do with him and it really is a home away from home for him. He has become such a confident and intelligent little boy and I truly believe Little Kingdom has played a huge role in that.
Honestly I could write an essay of why I recommend Tracey. When I started looking for a childcare for my son she was the second visit. I was already disappointed on the nursery I visited but it clicked straight away that this was the right place for my son. She has tried to fulfill every need that my son had, from screaming his lungs out at first to not sleeping to not eating, just in a matter of time turned to a happy child that loves going to her home, eats all his food there and sleeps by himself. I love the fact that Tracey doesn’t stick to just going to the park or toddlers groups, she does so much more with the children (hands up I don’t know how tired she might get some times) and they gain so many new experiences by exploring the world rather than staying locked up in a setting. Finally Tracey’s assistant Lou is as amazing as she is herself, making sure for the first moment that my son feels safe and and happy there, trying her best to create a healthy attachment with him and my son adores her so that tells me more than enough of how much of good care he gets.
My child been going by him for about 3years now. She has always had fun and love it there, she has also learn so much.
I needed to go back to work 2 days a week when my child was 3 months old. I was really apprehensive about leaving him with someone else, especially with him being so young. After searching for the right setting, we eventually found Dee. We were welcomed for an initial meet and greet and a tour around the setting, and we were instantly put at ease. I explained my apprehensions and Dee put my worries at rest. I received frequent updates about my child’s day, along with photos.
After 3 months of my child attending 2 days a week, I needed to increase my days with her. Dee was very accommodating, looked into the options straight away and the additional days were arranged within a couple of days with no issues from Dee.
My child always smiles at Dee when I take him each morning and is always content and happy when collecting him at the end of the day.
I have absolute faith and trust in Dee to look after my child, and I would not look anywhere else. They have a lovely bond with Dee and her own children which is lovely to see. My child is progressing ahead of his developmental time due to the time and effort that Dee puts in whilst he is in her care.
I would 100% recommend Dee, she is a home from home.
Mona looked after our daughter just before she turned one for a few months until she started nursery. She is a wonderful carer. Our daughter quickly formed a lovely bond with Mona and has had such a happy time. Mona has taken her to local libraries, trips to the park, playground, and museums as well providing an array of music and art activities at home. There is always a range of fresh, home cooked and nutritious meals. Our daughter has had all the care, nurture, and support we could have wished for and we were very sorry that her time with Mona was so brief. We feel incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful person to look after our child.
As a mum who initially struggled with leaving my girls with anyone else, battling fear and anxiety about having others look after my precious girls, I can honestly say that I need not have ever worried. My only regret is not starting them sooner! From the very start, Zeb and Beri have created a safe, nurturing environment that truly feels like a home from home. My twins have come on leaps and bounds since joining, and the care they’ve received has been outstanding.
Zeb and Beri go above and beyond every single day, not only for the children but for us parents as well. They’ve always been so understanding and accommodating, and I honestly can not thank them enough for all the little ways they make our lives easier. It’s clear they truly care about both the children and the families they work with.
The routine and structure they provide really help the children adapt quickly. Mine had zero issues settling in, and I truly believe this is down to how calm, caring, and patient Zeb and Beri are with the children. They’ve really set the bar high – no other provider I’ve found comes close to what we experience here.
I just wish they had space for my children to attend full time, as I know they’re in the best hands. If you’re considering Earlybirds Tiney Home, I’d recommend putting your child’s name on the waiting list well in advance to secure a spot.
From the food to the care to the incredible curriculum they follow, everything is aimed at bringing out the very best in every child. If you’re looking for a place where your child will feel loved, engaged, and well taken care of every single day, look no further. Zeb and Beri’s setup is flawless and exceptional, and I couldn’t ask for a better place for my little ones!
