Denise started working for me in 2006, initially looking after my one year old daughter, and then also my son who was born in 2007. She was wonderful with my children having a great rapport with them and they grew very fond of her. She was punctual, hard working and extremely reliable, not taking any sick leave during her time with me. I cannot emphasise enough what a difference it made to my working life having someone like Denise I could absolutely trust with the welfare and safety of my two young children. I knew they were happy, safe and well cared for.
My husband and I hold her in the highest regard. She is trustworthy, reliable, experienced with babies and children of all ages and a warm and caring person. Denise proved to be a wonderful choice of nanny for our family and the children were very sad when she left our employ but they have maintained a warm and affectionate relationship with her ever since.
I’m very happy with Awesta, she is an experienced child carer and does a great job taking care of my darling daughter. I was very anxious leaving my daughter but Awesta made me feel at ease and the settling period for my daughter was so easy, my daughter now shuts the door on me when I drop her off. She is very happy attending and my heart is at ease leaving her with Awesta. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a nurturing experienced childminder.
If your thinking of sending your child to marcias child minding, that doesnt like being left with strangers after 1.5 hours then dont bother.
Marcia had lilah in for one settling in session that went reasonably well and then she had 6 different days after that where she was supposed to go in and marcia cancelled at 8am every morning a couple hours before she was due to start. After the 6th time I didn't message this time saying "its okay no worries" like i had the other 5 times, I said that I understand that people have sick days but I different day... its getting to the point where its not fair on my daughter being told shes got school in morning then not going.
After that message she proceeds to reply basically blaming lilah because she needed more of there time. And then proceeds to ignore me for 2 days after until eventually saying that she thinks she needs a smaller setting. Although before my complaint that was very polite and understanding she had set another day up for my daughter to go in.
So it is nothing to do with needing a smaller setting but everything to do with her not being able to handle a polite complaint about your daughters nursery day being cancelled 6 times.
Better of this way anyway after finding out that one of her members of staff swear infront of the young children.
Absolutely wouldnt recommend all looks like sunshine and rainbows on there Facebook page but it definitely is not.
There constantly understaffed and not professional what so ever
I am so pleased I found Vee, from the moment I met her I felt like she is the perfect person to look after my daughter. You can tell she is an amazing mum and loves what she does , her space is perfectly equipped with lots of toys and educational decor . It’s hard leaving her all day but I feel she is in a safe hands with Vee . She planned a lovely activities with my daughter and she is was getting good amount of attention
My son who is now almost 14 months old has been with Lou and Adam for 3 months, I couldn’t be happier, they are lovely and have really helped my son settling in, he has been learning new skills and interacting with all the other children so well! They keep me at ease by sending me updates throughout the day and it really does feel like a home away from home for my little boy!
Camille arrived with a big smile and and a big bag of games.
My twins warmed to her quickly. We came home to find them engrossed in a game of Monopoly, they didn’t want to let her leave.
Camille was great with rolling with different changes that family life entails.

We have been incredibly fortunate to have Rohini as our childminder for our daughter over the past years. From day one, Rohini has gone above and beyond to create a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that feels like a second home.
Her kindness, patience, and genuine care for the children in her care are unmatched. She takes the time to understand each child's unique personality, encouraging their strengths and gently helping them grow in areas where they need support. It's clear how much Rohini loves her work—something that's reflected in the joyful, confident child our daughter has become. As first time parents, leaving our daughter with someone was daunting, but she made us feel completely at ease.
The activities she plans are thoughtful and creative, promoting learning through play in such an engaging way. She provides feedback at the end of the day, which gives us such peace of mind knowing our child is thriving and well-cared for.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what they do, look no further.
We have been with Thespia for nearly five years, and it has been an exceptional experience for our two children, proving to be the perfect choice for us.
The Montessori setup is beautiful, providing a fun and educational environment every day.
The children engage in activities beyond those of a standard nursery, including crafts tailored to their interests and regular cooking sessions. Suzy and her team also brainstorm with us during tricky phases with our kids.
The small group size and high caregiver-to-child ratio allow for personalized attention to our children's emotional, sleep, and nutritional needs.
Suzy prepares delicious home-cooked meals, greatly expanding our children's palates—they even request chicken paprikash at home!
Suzy's generosity and kindness have made her feel like family to us.
Maria has been an incredible support for our Autistic 10yo son, and we can't thank her enough. She picks him up from school, takes him to the park or library, or plays with him at home. She’s amazing at managing any difficult behaviours - firm but kind, flexible, and isn't phased by tough moments. She's responsive to his needs - whether that is to be very active and engaged or to have quiet time. Our whole family adores her, and we feel lucky to have someone so dedicated. She really goes above and beyond, and we’re truly grateful for her!

Eunice and Sam come across as very lovely people how ever they do not communicate or give you updates on your child’s learning or progress often, I received a few photos here and there. I toilet trained my daughter in the summer of 2024 and buy January 2025 she was fully toilet trained however they refused to take my child out of nappies in February I had approached Eunice and asked her to give me updates on my child’s progress with her toilet training in they’re setting as it was only there she wear nappies, Eunice told me I was asking too much and told me she refused to take my child out of nappies. I told her I was not happy with her response and that she should be willing to work with me instead of telling me no it’s not happening. She also told me she refused to because of how much her carpets cost, so basically her carpets were more important than my child’s development.
Also on a separate occasions I questioned her about the fees as her long break down did not make any sense and that she was not allowed to charge me a top up fee for the 15 free hours she then replied with an attitude, stating if I am not happy the leave.
She also called me in to discuss my child and sat next to me with her arms crossed making loud “hmmm” as I spoke with her husband’s. I asked both of them to stop on several occasions and so she stormed out the room.
Eunice comes across as lovely people until you have concerns and questions. I would much rather my children be looked after by people that work with parents who have concerns and not treat them as if they have no right to ask questions.
My LO has been attending Motria's childcare setting since she was just over 1 years old, she had no issues settling in because the whole set up Motria has is so calm, welcoming and home like. From the first moment Motria welcomed me and both my children in to meet her family and see the setting I just knew this was the place my LO would love and be cared for. The home cooked nutritious food my LO has experienced has really helped her to be adventurous and not scared to try anything new. Every day has been structured with amazing updates, through out the day. My LO has grown so much with Motria and her team and she has turned into a very bright, independent little lady. Motria has been there to support me as a working parent, with flexability if an early drop off or late pick up is required and has even helped during School holidays letting my son join them. Motria has also offered professional support with sleeping issues and potty training, and is always very easy to communicate with. This has been a wonderful experience, an I highly recommend Motria's service. We will miss you and the team, but it is time for My LO to start her journey into school. Thank you so much.

From the beginning Emilija created a warm and naturing environment for our 2.5 year old daughter, she feels very happy there and she loves to go there every day . Emilija has ability to engage with children through creative activities, games,and outdoor play has been amazing. Every day she has plans and ideas on what they will do. Our daughter developed lot of new skills and forming nice friendships with other kids as well.
Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our family's needs have been greatly appreciated. We higly recommend Emilija to any family seeking a reliable, caring and skilled childminder and nanny as well.
Dorota was an amazing nanny to my son between February 2019 and March 2020. Every day with her was full of exciting activities – no two days were the same! She made sure he was never stuck at home and took him on some wonderful little adventures.
Her home is a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment, and my son was always happy and engaged. He was never bored, and I loved how creative and thoughtful she was with the activities she planned.
I’ve stayed in touch with Dorota since then, and she still looks after my son during school holidays from time to time – he always looks forward to it!
I would highly recommend Dorota to any parent looking for someone caring, responsible, and full of energy to look after their child.
Ana is the most caring, loving and positive person, she has been a key person in the development and upbringing of my little boy who has been with Ana for just over 2 years. He has built wonderful friendships with other children and loves every second he spends with Ana, playing, learning, singing, dancing and exploring.
Ana has gone above and beyond in helping our now 3 year old grow into a happy, healthy, confident little boy and we couldn't be more grateful. We couldn't recommend Ana enough.
