I was sooo nervous leaving my baby behind after getting back into work but I couldn’t have asked for better childminder other than Remi. She built a fantastic relationship with my son and she taught him so much! I highly recommend

Kara was great to talk to. We needed a babysitter for an event and the notice was short, yet she showed up. Confident, fun and my kids had a great experience. Would recommend!

Shee Cares - Dartford

Sheila looked after all 3 of my daughters. 1 from pre-school when we moved to the area and the other 2 from the point I returned to work until they finished Primary school. Sheila offered a home rather than a setting, a place where the girls felt safe, were filled with compassion and care and found laughter and loving boundaries. The girls all thrived in her care and have held on to the values and positive behaviours that Sheila instilled in them. If I am asked about pre-school care, the standard and go to for me is Sheila. Early years are precious and are the bedrock to the future and Sheila is a sure foundation!

Vicci and her team are excellent and provide the best support for the children under their care.

Our daughter attended Vicci’s setting since 11 months and she had a lovely time there, the food was amazing, we had great guidance on going through all major milestones for the early days which we will always be grateful for.

The friendly and family oriented environment made everyone feel at ease and confident that our child was very well looked after. We were very lucky to have Vicci and her team looking after her.

Our son went to Sharon's from 11 months until 3 years and a half. The experience was great, our son felt comfortable from day 1. Sharon has always been professional, warm and supportive.
In the morning, she takes the children out to playgroups and in the afternoon, there is a play and nap routine at home. A plus is that she has got a garden, so the children can be outside when the weather is good.
She's experienced and always happy to help with tailored advice for common challenges such as sleep and potty training.
We always felt that our son was in a safe pairs of hands, where he was happy and developed well.

Tracey - Cheshunt

My daughter has been with Tracey for many months. As a mother I felt total confidence in Tracey's years of experience in looking after her. Tracey clearly knows what she is doing, she has a calm aura at all times, she is the right person to ask for advices when you feel the need. My daughter grew some confidence in an environment where she felt entertained, safe and free to be who she wants to be. Tracey really respects everyone's needs and is gentle in being accommodating to everyone. She is such a gentle person in her professional approach, I could not thank her enough for her wonderful contribution to my child's upbringing and I recommend her 100%.

You couldn’t ask for anymore from a setting. Anna is so welcoming and nurturing yet consistent with routines and boundaries which is always important when they are handed back to you at the end of the day. Our daughter has absolutely thrived during her two years with Anna and absolutely adores her. The activities and excursions they go on from Wisley to playgroups and paddling pool and slide fun in the summer. It is a home from home environment with packed days full of stimulation and happiness. We are so grateful for the past two years.

Our son started with Sharon just after his first birthday, and now, as he approaches three, we couldn’t be happier with the care and support he has received.

Sharon has built a fantastic relationship with him—he’s genuinely excited to go every day and absolutely loves all the activities she offers. Each morning, Sharon takes the children to a variety of fun local activities, including music classes and arts and crafts. This gives them a lovely balance of experiences in both small and larger group settings. Sharon also has a great outdoor space with lots of activities when the weather is nice.

She keeps us well-informed with updates throughout the day and always takes the time to give us a detailed rundown when we collect him, which we really appreciate. Sharon has also been incredibly supportive with key milestones like potty training, offering advice and encouragement that made the process so much smoother.
Overall, our experience with Sharon has been amazing. We are so grateful for all her support, and for the nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment she creates.

Diana - Maidstone

My son (14m) has been attending since April 2025. Diana was very quick to respond to my message regarding Childcare and from day 1 my son has established an incredible bond with her and her family, whilst I have gained a lovely friend.

She is very caring and attentive person and great at providing feedback regarding my son’s development. We have noticed a vast improvement as he has gained confidence with interacting with other people and children (apart from family/friends).

The environment she has created feels like a home away from home which was very important for us when choosing a childcare provider. Other factors includes the various activities for my child to play/explore, home cooked meals and a fantastic outdoor play set up.

We feel very lucky to have her in our lives she is an amazing person and I would highly recommend her services!

Sarah - Sheffield

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. From the very beginning, Sarah has been warm and welcoming, immediately putting our minds at ease as working parents. Knowing that our child is in such loving, safe, and capable hands each day has been a tremendous comfort, especially when returning to work from maternity leave.

Sarah is not only kind and caring, but also truly supportive of each child’s individual needs. Her nurturing personality shines through in everything she does and it’s clear she has a genuine passion for helping children grow and flourish. The childminding industry is very lucky to have Sarah.

The learning environment Sarah provides is rich, engaging and thoughtfully planned. Our little boy has enjoyed a wide variety of activities and outings, from nature walks to local adventures, all of which have been both fun and educational. These experiences have helped build confidence, curiosity and a love for learning.

Most importantly, our son has been incredibly happy in her care and has absolutely thrived. The progress we’ve seen—socially, emotionally, and developmentally—has been amazing. We are forever grateful for Sarah playing such an important role in our little boy’s life during the time he has been in her care.

We would wholeheartedly recommend ‘Sarah’s Little Learners’ to anyone looking for childcare. Sarah is second to none and has been an invaluable part of our child’s early years. We couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you Sarah!

Elaine has been babysitting my daughter since September last year. She was the first person that put her to bed in the evening aside from myself. She’s so kind and reassuring. Engages so well with my daughter. Elaine is very caring and always on time. I can’t recommend her enough.

My experience with Madele is amazing. Madele was available on a short notice and provided excellent care for my son. She provided playful and learning opportunities for him at her home as well as plenty of adventures outside, taking him to the castle, museum, beach, library, Newhailes estate which had a lot of activities for children. My son was always happy going to Madele.

Jenny - Oxford

We found Jenny here as we wanted a tutor for our two DS for very different reasons. With individual lesson plans adapted to how the children learnt, and very interactive methods of learning, her tutoring has really brought out the best in our sons. They both love their interaction with her.

One was on the SEND register as he was slipping behind. She quickly identified what motivated him and to bring him up to a strong standard and off the register within a few months. For our other son, she challenged his thinking as he was bored at school finding the maths too easy.

I would highly recommend Jenny if your DS or DD needs a tutor to help them improve in any situation.

Our son has been attending Jo’s childcare since he was 1.5 years old, and we honestly cannot believe that we’ll have to say goodbye in September as he starts school. Moving him from nursery to Jo’s was one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents.

Jo provides a nurturing, educational, and fun environment that has helped our son thrive. She shares lovely daily updates with pictures and thoughtful write-ups, which give us great insight into his day. Her approach to education is full of kindness and heart—teaching numbers, letters, and life skills in a way that keeps children engaged and happy.

One of the standout aspects of Jo’s childcare is the emphasis on outdoor activities. The children regularly visit parks, Box Hill, garden centres, and local playgrounds. This variety and connection with nature is something we didn’t experience at nursery and is something our son absolutely loves.

Jo also provides healthy meals and maintains a consistent daily routine that supports both play and learning. Her setting offers everything a child needs to grow with confidence and joy.

We would recommend Jo without hesitation—she is absolutely brilliant!

As full-time working parents, finding the right childcare for our daughter was one of the most important and emotional decisions we had to make. Our daughter has been with Zainab since she was just 3 months old, and now she is nearly 4.

Before choosing Zainab’s setting, we visited several others, but our daughter would often become upset and cry when others tried to hold her. However, during our first visit with Zainab, it was completely different—our daughter was calm, smiling, and even giggling in the arms of both Zainab and Nosheen. That initial warmth and connection gave us a strong sense of reassurance.

I was naturally hesitant about sending my baby to a childminder at such a young age, but Zainab and her team did everything they could to put us at ease. They regularly sent pictures and videos to keep us updated and even created a personalised routine book for our daughter, which meant so much to us.

Over the years, our daughter has always looked forward to going to the setting. She’s grown in so many ways—she knows all her colours, shapes, numbers, and alphabet, and her speech has developed beautifully.

While she has occasionally come home with minor bruises or scratches, we understand this is part of the natural learning and exploring process at her age. As long as she remains safe and does not sustain any serious injuries, we accept that these little marks are simply part of her adventurous spirit and healthy development.

We are truly grateful for the loving, safe, and nurturing environment Zainab has created. The impact it has had on our daughter’s growth and happiness is immeasurable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start in her early years.

My son has been attending Over the Rainbow since May 2024 and has enjoyed his time there to the fullest. Marta and her team are warm, reliable and consistently provide the highest level of care. My son has grown leaps and bounds under Marta and her team. From being a shy toddler, he has gone on to become a happy, chatty and a confident kid who is ready for new experiences and meeting new people. We will miss Marta and team as he heads off to school but as parents we are forever indebted to her and the team for instilling all the values and learning in him over the past year.
I would definitely recommend her and we will back to hers during all term holidays!

Lovely child minder and setting, my little girl went prior to attending school nursery and still attends in the school holidays when needed.

Laura updated me each evening on what my little one had done throughout the day, what she had eaten and her overall mood. They always do fun educational activities and have lots of fun days out.
