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.
My son loves going to Charlene. He gets good care and lots of activities. Great communication with daily photos and updates. I am very happy I found Charlene. My son has the most amazing experiences, and his well-being and joy have always been at the forefront of Charlene's mind.

I had a wonderful experience with Nicky, who helped me look after my 10-month-old and 23-month-old sons. As someone who’s always relied on family for childcare outside of nursery, I was a bit nervous about having someone new, but Nicky immediately put me at ease. She was friendly, approachable and her calm demeanour made me feel confident in her care. The boys had a great time with her. Nicky was also very flexible with scheduling, which was a huge help and she was always punctual and reliable. She was easy to communicate with throughout and I’m definitely looking forward to having her help again in the future. Highly recommend her to any other mums!
My daughter Amelia has recently started with Amber , After all this time with Amelia and now returning back to work Amber has made me feel at ease by keeping me up to date and sending pictures/videos of my daughter she seems to be settling in very well now , she loves the ball pit :) thank you for welcoming Amelia and taking good care of her Amber is very welcoming and seems amazing with the kids !
Laura is absolutely amazing! Always greeted with a warm welcoming. First impressions. She was the most lovely, bubbly, Down to earth woman! Laura’s commutation is amazing! Highly recommend 🩷
I’d love to keep Leanne a secret so she is always available when we need a baby sitter but she’s too good for that and she needs the light shone on her friendliness, kindness, professionalism and great listening skills (to both children and parent!)
I am a mum of three children, all with different SEN needs. During our initial meeting, one of my children had multiple moments of dysregulation. Leanne wasn’t phased or put off by this.
Another child has a strong sense or rejection sensitivity and doesn’t like being without at least one parent, the fact she said Leanne can babysitting anytime is far greater than any 5⭐️ review I can give.
Not only did Leanne handle my children’s needs brilliantly, she also reassured me! I worked as a Nanny for over 24 years, I’ve met some amazing people within the industry and some that weren’t up to the standard I set, because of this I won’t just leave my children with ‘just anyone’, Leanne was more than happy to show me her qualifications/DBS check, she also sent me reassuring texts that all was ok at home.
Leanne is a credit to her industry.
Maria looked after our daughter for almost 2.5 years (from 12 months) and it has truly been a home away from home for her. Maria and her sons created such a nurturing and caring environment that our daughter loved going and often did not want to come home! Our daughter thrived in an environment with kids of different ages, learning quickly from the older ones and learning to take care of the younger ones. She formed close relationships with Maria and especially Carlos, and still talks about them fondly.
We loved that Maria takes the children out at least once and often twice a day to local farms, stay and plays, playgrounds, parks and even the Young V&A, ensuring a variety of stimulating learning opportunities as well as fresh air and exercise. I bumped into Maria at stay and plays before my daughter joined and I was impressed that, unlike many other childminders, Maria and her sons were constantly interacting with the kids, encouraging them to try different activities.
Add in home cooked meals, help with developmental milestones (potty training was so much easier when we were able to tag team with Maria), a very reliable babysitter (Maria always gave plenty of notice of holidays etc), great communication with daily photos and updates and a genuine affection for the children, we really could not have asked for more. We genuinely feel very lucky to have found Maria and would not hesitate to recommend her.
We are so lucky to have had Libby as a nanny for our 2 -year old son. Where he usually greets strangers with apprehension, he took to Libby right away! From their first meeting, Libby's warm, playful, demeanor totally put him at ease, and the care she took to truly get to know him was remarkable to see.
Somehow, Libby strikes the perfect balance between professional and playful - we had the utmost confidence leaving our son in her capable hands. We knew he would not only be cared for and kept safe, but would have a wonderful time! She organized activities with his interests and capabilities at heart, and as a parent, the BEST thing was hearing them laughing together. She's also a WHIZ in the kitchen and takes the most fantastic photos throughout the day.
I can't recommend Libby enough, she has a gift!

Jessica is a friendly, confident and highly experienced and qualified nanny. My children (10,6&4) thoroughly enjoyed their day with her and I felt very happy to leave them. Jessica communicated well with us before the day and gave updates and photos during the day. When I got home none of the children were on screens and the washing up had been done! I was really impressed and would highly recommend Jessica.

Monika has worked as our nanny for our two children (aged 2 and 5) for 4 days a week for the last 18 months. She is hugely experienced and has worked with children for many years, both in nursery settings and as a nanny. She is very good at managing young children and meeting their needs. She has been a wonderful help and support to our family.
She is very creative and is always thinking up fun arts & crafts activities, games and experiments, which our children love doing with her. She always tries to think up activities that the children will enjoy.
She has always been reliable and punctual. She also provides really helpful updates on our children every day.
We would thoroughly recommend Monika and are going to miss her!
Over the past year and half. Sally has been a massive help not only for taking great care of both my child but also being flexible as much as she can to accommodate our needs. This has made my way back to work so much easier and smoother. I would not recommend second person if Sally is available. Both of my kids love their time with Sally and her crew, they had amazing memories while stay there.

Had two settling in sessions, the kids were kept in conservatory and wasn't allowed to explore yet there were children in the other room watching TV and my child wasn't allowed to join. One of them made a few racist 'jokes' whilst I was there. Not child friendly, I was checking on one of my children whilst they were with the other one for me to turn around and he was gone, to then find him two steps up by himself as they have no stair gate. Found it to be whatever is 'easiest' for them and very little interaction with the children. The kids all seemed very unhappy and bored being stuck in a small conservatory.
Laura has been looking after Leo since November, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She is fantastic with him—always fun, patient, and engaging. Her professionalism and kindness give me complete peace of mind, knowing Leo is in safe hands. He absolutely loves spending time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. I highly recommend Laura to any parent looking for a reliable and nurturing childminder!
Dear parents...
My son started with Miss Durrey in January 2024. At that time, he could only say two or three words in English, as our first language is our mother tongue. I was truly amazed at how quickly he progressed. His confidence grew so much he started speaking more, singing, writing his name, and even expressing himself more at home.
Miss Durrey is an incredibly passionate, caring, and dedicated childcare provider. She kept us updated regularly with WhatsApp messages and pictures, and she always supported my son with reading books, encouraging his learning every step of the way. Her creativity in teaching is outstanding, and her curriculum was remarkable. The monthly newsletters kept us well informed, and it was clear how much thought and effort she put into every child’s development.
I highly recommend Miss Durrey to any parent looking for exceptional childcare. She is truly amazing at what she does.
Thank you again miss durrey...
Our Daughter was off school for several weeks due to having an operation. We contacted Charmain to see if she could help our Daughter keep up with her phonics, maths, reading amongst other subjects during the daytime.
Charmain was happy to help & our Daughter and her get along very well.
2 sessions a week were really helpful for our Daughter. Charmain was flexible too, which was really important for us as we have alot of commitments between us.
If a session needed to be moved from Charmains side, she would give as much notice as possible.
I see there are bad reviews for Charmain, but honestly we think she is great and she has really helped our Daughter.
There is learning time and then at the end of each session she has time to chat with our Daughter.
There needs to be structure to each session, which some people aren't happy about but for us this works great.
