My son has been with Nichola since he was 11months old, he’s now 2 and a half . I knew from my first meeting with Nichola, that this was the right setting for us. My son settled in with ease, making my return to work that little bit easier.
He is thriving in her care and I believe his development has alot to do with her commitment, hard work and experience. The daily adventures to playgroups, soft plays, Chessington Zoo and fruit picking are firm favourites with my son and he talks about them daily. I know he’s safe, secure and loved in her care and he walks in everyday like it’s his home from home and thats exactly what I wanted for him.
He has formed a great bond with Nichola and his little friends he has made there. We hope to have Nichola is our lives for as long as we can as she has been a huge part of his early years.
I would highly recommend Nichola to anyone looking for good quality childcare for their little ones!
Cat has been helping my 12-year old daughter (Year 8) with Maths for the last two months (3 hours per week). She understands what my daughter is being taught in school and has quickly grasped the areas my daughter needs help with and has been addressing them. She is passionate about Maths and breathes life into it, which my daughter really appreciates. Cat has been a hard working and dedicated tutor, and there has been a great improvement in my daughter's grades. Thank you Cat.
Grant is an absolute gift. He is absolutely amazing with my 2 young boys, the eldest of the 2 can be quite challenging due to his traumatic experiences but Grant takes that all in his stride. I actually feel as a parent I could learn so much from Grant. I feel blessed to have found him and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Penny has been absolutely fantastic with our twin girls who she started looking after when they were 3 months old. The girls love her and light up when she comes into the room. She is hard working, warm, and amazing with children. Our 2 year old boy loves her too. I can’t recommend her enough, thank you Penny.

Our little girl has been with Jackie since she was 5 months old (she has just turned 3). Jackie has been there every step of the way, she has welcomed H into her home and nurtured her over the years. Jackie has supported us all through every milestone; eating solids, crawling, walking, teething, playing, potty training and everything else in between. She has always been on hand for help and advice if we've been unsure (first time parents).
Jackie has nurtured our little girl, encouraging her to be confident, independent and problem solve. H is 100mph and extremely active, Jackie always has something fun planned but fully adaptable when H arrives with an idea for the day. H always comes home with a tale to tell; many walks, park trips, Beamish outings and trips to the seaside whilst encouraging her to explore and learn.
More recently we have seen our little girl develop a greater understanding of emotions and how to articulate them along with academic skills such as learning numbers and letters.
Jackie has really created a safe place which is genuinely a home from home environment and H is excited to go every day!

Natasha is so good with our son and daughter, she very quickly formed an excellent rapport with them, her knowledge on education is exceptional. Our children’s development has sky rocketed and they love to have her around (and, even, ask when they’re next seeing her!)
We can really, really recommend Natasha as a BRILLIANT nanny 😊 thank you!
Choosing Sandy to be my daughter's childminder was by far one of the best decisions I've ever made. My daughter has additional needs & nursery just wasn't right for her. It was busy, noisy & overwhelming, causing her to feel very distressed which was very upsetting for me.
Fast forward to July 2024 after spending a year with Sandy & my daughter has become a happy, confident & sociable child who has gained so much knowledge & experience.
Sandy offers a safe, fun, happy & learning environment, coupled with great days out, allowing my daughter to flourish & become the best version of herself. She went above & beyond to study my daughter's additional needs in her own time to ensure she had the best possible knowledge to support her.
I really couldn't have asked for more & I highly recommend her as a childminder.
Amina and Khadija are excellent, they are taking care of my son since he was 9 months till now and he is almost 3 years. They provide a home like experience for the children, everyone is family there. My son has a lot of fun while being there, they take the children to libraries, parks and soft play areas. They send me pictures on whatsaap all day to check on my child. They are incredibly accommodating to our situation and have very flexible hours. They also provide pick ups and drop offs upon request.
Lisa is a highly experienced childminder who offers a home from home setting for a handful of children in her spotlessly clean house! Lisa is warm and kind and immediately likeable. Our daughter responded extremely well to Lisa and was always happy to arrive to spend the day there without any tears! We also found Lisa to be extremely flexible to our needs which was a complete godsend for me as a freelancer. Before Lisa I was concerned about my daughter’s limited social interaction but Lisa provided the perfect springboard for her to begin playing with other children in a small, safe setting and she is now thriving at nursery with lots of friends and confidence. Lisa was also happy to give advice to us as new parents on a variety of worries such as sleep and food and we really benefitted from her ideas and wisdom. Thank you Lisa for all your amazing care and we will miss you lots!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our son has received at Little Angels. The transition from his pervious nursery to Little Angels was smooth and incredibly positive. Our son has flourished, progressing faster than we could have imagined. The variety of activities planned each week keeps him engaged, and he’s constantly picking up new skills, from singing and phonics to becoming more independent. He’s excited to go every morning, which speaks volumes!
As full-time working parents, we deeply appreciate the way Little Angels caters to our family’s needs. Knowing our son is in such nurturing and capable hands brings us peace of mind every day. We are truly grateful for the dedication, support, and kindness shown to our son (and us!). Thank you, Little Angels – you go above and beyond!
Corin has been wonderful with our son (and us!) he makes a relaxed, caring environment that our son really thrived in. The small group of children he looks after really developed a wonderful relationship with each other, it was a pleasure to see them interact at pick up and drop off.
Food and feeding was perfect, and our son was taking in lots of outings, with a focus on outdoor activity when the weather allows.
Corbin was great at helping develop sleeping and feeding patterns.
Corin was also great at dealing with us as parents, we had lots of updates and lots of (well taken!) sweet pictures via WhatsApp. He helped us navigate the government free hours etc and was super accommodating with our timings and hols etc.
I can not recommend Corbin enough, the whole family enjoyed our time with him!
I could not recommend Lorna enough. She worked with my son for 2 years and helped him leaps and bounds with his development! She was so much more than just a tutor but helped him with speech and language, occupational and social skills too. Words can’t express how grateful we are for her- she set such great foundations for our son and he is now a gifted and thriving boy! If we hadn’t moved abroad, we would never have let her go. Our family adore Lorna!
We were incredibly lucky to find Jackie and are extremely grateful to her! Our little boy joined Rainbow Smiles when I returned to work after maternity leave and stayed with her until pre-school. Jackie really does care about the children in her care, that is plain to see. Our little boy came on leaps and bounds and really enjoyed his time with her. She does a lot with the children, crafting, park outings etc and pays real attention to detail in development. There were always balloons and cake when it was his birthday, something I thought was a real special touch! I cannot recommend Jackie enough, if you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy childminder…you’ve found her! Thank you Jackie.
Jackie looked after our daughter for nearly 4 years and we are eternally grateful for her! As a teacher, I am familiar with the EY framework and have always been so impressed with how Jackie builds on this. The range of activities and vocabulary the children are exposed to are excellent. We had particularly strict dietary requirements, all of which were adhered to and evidenced in a food log which was really useful to have. Jackie’s house is always immaculate and very safe. Most importantly Jackie is the warmest, loveliest woman to help you bring up your children. Some of our daughter’s best bits come from spending so much time with Jackie. It’s an absolute no brainer for us to send our new son in January too!
When returning to work after my daughter in 2021 I originally placed her in a nursery however the experience was not good and I had no trust in the provider after several lies/inaccuracies were told and pulled her within a few weeks - I was lucky enough to find Jackie who fit us in. And how lucky we were - my daughter thrived there and really received a home from home experience and as parents knowing she was safe and nurtured was a huge weight off our minds. I cannot reccomend Jackie enough and my youngest will also be attending with her from 2024 when I return from maternity again.
I'm very happy to recommend Bernadette. My daughter was at the setting from the age of 9 months until she started school, and now my son attends 4 days a week.
Both children have absolutely loved their time there, and been really at home with Bernadette, her husband and the whole family. It's a really comfortable and calm place - every morning my daughter went straight into the house and is always excited about going. The setting is a peaceful place, but also with plenty of stimulation and variety, there are plenty of parks nearby and as long as the weather cooperates most days they are out. There's also a good range of activities for the children when they're at the house. Bernadette is encouraging and supportive, and also provides structure to their activities.
Bernadette always has time to talk about how the children doing, and is really committed to their wellbeing and development. I would thoroughly recommend her as an excellent childminder.
Sadrish has been looking after my daughters for a while now, she is very kind, reliable and, trustworthy. My daughters love her and, I feel completely at ease leaving her with them. Sadrish is also very flexible & has helped me out a couple of time at short notice. Highly recommend her as a sitter

We cannot recommend Honey and her setting enough. is nurturing, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with children. Honey creates a safe and engaging environment that encourages exploration and learning both indoors and outdoors. I have always been impressed by her creativity in planning activities that promote development while ensuring that my children are happy and secure.
Both of my children began with Honey when they were 9 months old and it has been the best decision we made. Communication with Honey has always been open and informative, and we appreciate how she keeps us updated on our children's progress and daily experiences.
It’s clear that Honey genuinely cares about the well-being of the children in her care and she will go over and beyond to nurture the children.
To any parent looking for a reliable and dedicated childminder, you can trust that your child will be safe, happy, and well cared for at Honeys Childcare.
Our daughter has been with Nas & Ahsan for a few months now and we are so happy to have found them! They have been so warm and welcoming and caring to our daughter, especially when she was settling in and finding her feet in a new setting. It’s lovely to see how much she has developed, playing with other children and exploring new toys and foods. Nas & Ahsan respond quickly to any queries. I am grateful to have found childminders that are reliable and that I trust on my return to work. We highly recommend them to any parent looking for childcare!
