Shadia has been such a wonderful help to our family. She is warm, kind and caring with my two young children, and having her around has made our mornings so much easier. She is reliable, hardworking and always willing to help with whatever needs doing. My children are very comfortable with her, and I really appreciate the genuine care and patience she shows them. She has been a lovely, supportive presence in our home, and I would happily recommend her to another family.
Lulu looked after all three of my boys over the last 8 years, from when they were 1 years old up until they went to school. My youngest is now heading to school and we’re really going to miss her!
She’s offered so much love and care, they all settled well and enjoyed their time with her. Lulu has a great playroom for the children, and offers so many fun activities for learning development. She also takes them on outings such as the library, farm, Air Museum.
I highly recommend Lulu if you’re looking for that home from home for your little one where they’re supported to thrive and develop in their own time. Plus, every week she send lots of photos so you get to see what they’ve been up to!
Shazia and her daughter looked after our daughter from when she was 10 months old until she turned two, and we were very sad to leave them when the time came! They both have such a naturally warm and calm presence and we always felt like our parenting values aligned with theirs.
There was always great communication, especially in those first few weeks, we felt very reassured that our daughter was happy and settling in well from the pictures that Shazia sent us.
Before we started with Shazia, my daughter had only ever been breast-fed to sleep for naps, so I was nervous about whether she'd nap with a childminder, but Shazia couldn't have been more reassuring, and from Day 1 our daughter napped happily in her setting.
Shazia's setting was always clean, and she creates lots of activities to keep the children entertained, including trips to the local park, or the Wetlands in nice weather too.
All of this to say that we couldn't recommend Shazia highly enough!

Carla looked after our 7yr old daughter whilst we attended a wedding.
Organising to have Carla babysit for us was a breeze and she was accommodating of our Airbnb location changing.
Our daughter loved having Carla look after her and happily told us of all the fun things they did.
Booking a babysitter when travelling from overseas can be a bit daunting but I would highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for someone to care for their child/ren.
Louisa was an excellent babysitter, obviously very experienced with children and won my 4 year old over immediately- he couldn’t wait to chase us out the door for our night out 😆. She even managed to get him to go to bed and sleep by a decent time which was a minor miracle as he normally doesn’t go to bed for anyone but us!
My daughter is ALWAYS excited every day she is going in, she settled in very well and fast, she has made so much progress with learning, socialising and individual development. we are always at peace knowing she is somewhere she is been looked after. Val is an awesome childminder.
Hayley and her mum, Jan, were absolutely brilliant with our daughter during the 10 months she attended their setting. She quickly became very happy, comfortable and settled there.
The setting is always clean and welcoming, and Hayley regularly takes the children to playgroups, parks and other activities, giving them lots of new experiences. Our daughter learned so much during her time with them.
We only changed childminders because we moved to a different area otherwise, I would never have chosen anyone else. We will always be grateful to Hayley and Jan and would wholeheartedly recommend their setting to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing place for their little one.
We arranged for Jamie to take care of our 5 month old son whilst we attended our friend’s wedding. We met the day before for a coffee and to discuss his schedule, this instantly made us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she arrived early and took care of our son like he was her own. Updated us with pictures and messages (a god send to me who’s obsessed with my son).
Will 100 percent book again when we visit south wales again.
Thank you Jamie!
We booked Jamie as an event nanny, and she was an absolute dream from start to finish. Her kind, caring nature made us feel completely at ease right away, and our son adored her instantly. She kept him happy, safe, and fully entertained throughout the event, allowing us to relax completely knowing he was in the best hands.
We only wish we could have her full-time! She is truly the best, and we couldn't recommend her more highly to any family looking for exceptional care.
We are incredibly grateful to Judy for the wonderful care she provided for our little one over the past two and a half months. She was professional, punctual, reliable and excellent at communicating and coordinating with us. She was also very flexible and stepped in to support our family when our previous childcare arrangement unexpectedly came to an end, which meant so much to us.
Judy was wonderful with our little one and showed great patience, warmth and understanding. She took him to different places, encouraged him to explore and enjoy his surroundings, and adapted activities to suit his interests and individual needs.
We particularly appreciated how attentive she was to his personality and the way he experiences the world. She took the time to understand him rather than expecting him to fit into a particular routine.
We are very grateful for all the care, patience and kindness Judy showed him during her time with our family. We would happily recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, professional and genuinely committed to the wellbeing of their child.
We have had the pleasure of knowing Stacey for a few years now, and she has had both of our girls in that time. We really do appreciate what she done for them and would recommend her if asked. Our girls have even caught up with Stacey and her boys even after childminding and once they joined school.

Pavlina looked after my little girl overnight regularly for the first couple of months. She was brilliant with the baby (helping my daughter to settle), friendly and reliable. She immediately put me at ease. I also appreciated her flexibility when my schedule was uncertain. I highly recommend Pavlina for anyone needing overnight help!
My son joined Delightful Gems when he was one year old, and I’ve been so happy with his time there. The staff are so caring and attentive, and the children are always well looked after, happy and clean. My son absolutely loves going there, which has always given me peace of mind. I’ve never had any issues and have always felt that he was in safe, caring hands. A big thank you to the whole team for looking after him so well we’ll really miss you all! ❤️
I really don’t like leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately I feel I need to leave an honest one. We had booked Therese for six hours to look after our 8-month-old baby, but when we arrived I didn’t feel the environment was safe or clean enough to leave a crawling baby. There was cat food on the floor, as well as small items within reach, and the floors did not appear to have been cleaned. We therefore made the difficult decision not to leave our baby. We also lost the full amount we had paid, not just the deposit. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending Therese for the care of young babies.
We’ve been so happy with Bumblebees Childminders and feel really lucky to have found them. They are so lovely and the communication is honestly brilliant - we’re always kept up to date and never feel like we need to chase anything. We also really appreciate the food they provide, with lots of variety and nutritious meals and snacks. Safeguarding is clearly taken very seriously too, which gives us so much reassurance. Most importantly, our little one is happy, settled and clearly so well cared for, which means the world to us. ❤️
I had to travel and was looking for an emergency baby sitting. That’s where Salwa jumped in and just relieved me from my worries.
Good communication all along and very caring with the children.
Really had a good experience and felt confident.
Thanks again for your time and see you next time .
