I honestly couldn’t be more grateful to Faicka for everything she did for our daughter during her first 4 years.
She gave her so much love , care and attention and taught her so many wonderful things along the way. We absolutely loved the activities and all the little tasks she did with her, as well as how closely Faicka followed her development and learning.
Thanks to all the love , dedication and preparation Faicka gave her , my daughter started reception feeling confident and happy for this new chapter.
I would recommend Faicka a thousand times over. We feel so lucky that she was such an important part for our daughters early years and we always be grateful for everything she did for her.
We love you tia Faicka and we will always remember you ❤️
I have been lucky enough to have Andromeda taking care of my daughter for 3 years! She have always shown a very proactive attitude with us and have adapted to my work shifts and my daughter's needs always. She gave all the skills to be patient, fun and caring while and keep sleep routine or morning routine. She's incredible with kids and you can tell she has that gift on her. 100% recommend
Deglys looked after my daughter for her first 4 years and honestly couldn’t be more grateful to her. She is such a seeet, caring , profesional and professional person. As a Latina , she gave my daughter something very special by sharing our culture and values. She brought so much happiness and joy into my daughters life and of course I have to mention her amazing cooking too! :)
Deglys became a very special part of our family and we will always remember her with so much love.
Thank you for everything. My little girl will always remember you ❤️
I couldn’t be happier with the care my two-month-old baby boy received. She is clearly very experienced and confident with young babies, and I immediately felt that he was in safe and caring hands.
My little boy was completely happy and relaxed with her, which meant so much to me as a mum. She was gentle, attentive and very understanding of his needs. It was lovely to see how naturally she connected with him and how comfortable he was in her care.
I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who is experienced, caring and genuinely wonderful with babies. We would definitely be happy to have her look after our little boy again! ❤️
Concerning experience with my 9-month-old
I arranged childcare with Sara for my 9-month-old son. Three settling sessions were originally planned. Two took place, but Sara cancelled the third, so his next attendance was his first full day.
Sara sent me updates and photographs during the day, which I appreciated. I also understand that babies can experience separation anxiety and that a childminder caring for several children cannot provide constant one-to-one attention.
However, several things during and after that first full day caused me serious concern.
During the day, Sara told me that my son was tired and unsettled and that she was unable to remain with him until he fell asleep because she also had other children to attend to.
At collection, I recall being told that he had been distressed for around 30 minutes and that this had been more like shouting than crying with tears. I found that very upsetting, particularly because he was only nine months old and still settling into an unfamiliar environment.
I also discovered a cut on his tongue when I collected him. Looking back afterwards at a photograph sent around midday, I could see what appeared to be the same mark. At collection, I recall Sara saying that another child had only brought the injury to her attention shortly before I arrived. Later that evening, Sara messaged to apologise and said she did not know how the injury had happened.
He had also taken relatively small amounts of milk during the day, I had been told about a small wet nappy, and he appeared unusually exhausted, quiet and withdrawn to me compared with his normal behaviour. I am not making a medical diagnosis; these were simply my observations as his mother.
The following morning, Sara questioned whether her childminding environment was the right type of childcare for him, suggested that one-to-one care such as a nanny might be more suitable, and said she was not comfortable caring for him that day until we had discussed matters.
That was ultimately what made continuing impossible for me. After the concerns from the first day, if the person I was trusting with my baby was herself questioning whether her environment was suitable for him and was not comfortable caring for him that day, I could not simply ignore that and send him back.
This happened on the second day of my new job, leaving me unexpectedly without childcare while I was already very worried about my baby. I found the whole experience extremely stressful and upsetting.
I recognise that not every childcare setting will suit every child. However, the combination of the distress, unexplained injury, his condition at collection, and Sara herself questioning whether her setting was appropriate caused me to lose confidence in continuing.
Based on my personal experience, I would not use this childcare setting again.
We had a really positive experience with Maham. This was our toddler’s first time being away from us, so naturally we were a little nervous, but he felt comfortable with her and settled in really well. She was warm, patient and reassuring, which gave us peace of mind. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend. Thank you Maham🤍
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jade look after our daughter for the past three years. From the very beginning, she was kind, caring, supportive and always completely focused on the children’s individual needs.
Jade was always so understanding and flexible, doing everything she could to accommodate us whenever possible. She created such a warm, happy and nurturing environment where our daughter felt safe, comfortable and truly loved.
Her home was always beautiful, clean and welcoming, and it was clear how much thought and care she put into making it a wonderful place for the children.
Most importantly, Jade treated our daughter like one of her own. She welcomed her into her family and made her feel like a very special part of it. Over the three years, we watched our daughter grow in confidence, happiness and independence, and Jade played such a huge part in that.
We cannot thank Jade enough for everything she has done for our daughter and for the love, care and support she has given her over the years. She will always hold a very special place in our hearts, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a truly amazing childminder. ❤️
Carrie looked after my daughter from age 3-5 and I couldn’t have been happier. Carrie provides a safe and warm place and nurtured our daughter in a home from home setting. Carrie offers regular outings from library visits, play groups and play dates with other trusted childminders. My daughter was very happy in Carrie’s care and we’re very grateful to have had such a wonderful childminder ☺️
We were incredibly lucky to have Laura as our nanny from January 2025 until end of July 2026, caring for our 18-month-old son. Her responsibilities included preparing and giving him breakfast and lunch, changing his nappies, and most importantly, keeping him engaged, happy, and entertained throughout the day.
Laura was always reliable, trustworthy, and punctual. We never had to worry when our son was in her care, as we trusted her completely. It was clear from the start that she was highly qualified and experienced, and this truly set her apart. Her professional childcare knowledge, combined with her natural warmth and kindness, made a huge difference to our son's daily routine and development.
Laura was wonderful at finding age-appropriate activities, singing songs, playing games, and keeping our son engaged in a fun and nurturing way. She showed tremendous patience and genuine care towards him, and it was lovely to see the bond they developed. Our son absolutely adored her, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared for him and enjoyed spending time with him.
As parents, we felt 100% confident leaving our son in Laura's care. She quickly became a valued part of our family, and we remain in contact with her even now. We are extremely grateful for everything she did for us and for our son during her time with our family.
We wholeheartedly recommend Laura to any family looking for a caring, dedicated, trustworthy, and highly professional nanny. Any family would be fortunate to have her, and we cannot speak highly enough of her.
Our son, Alex, was in Dijana's care for over two years – from 11 months through to 3 years and 2 months. He was so settled, safe and happy during that time, because Dijana is just utterly fantastic. She was always incredibly caring and fun, and Alex absolutely loved being with her. When we started Alex had food intolerances that she was great about, all the food was incredibly balanced and nutritious, there were fun and balanced activities, she advised us through potty training, worked with us as he dropped his nap, and was a really active and caring part of Alex's early years. If we have another child, I'll send them to Dijana in a heartbeat. I recommend her unreservedly.
My son has always been really funny about going to new people, he usually takes a good few weeks of seeing the person consistently before warming up to them, however with Sarah he instantly came out of his shell! Sarah is great at keeping us up to date with his not just his general progress; but everything he does throughout the day! I know when he is here that I don’t have to worry about him at all!
If we have any issues with him, such as his diet, or behavioural, Sarah will discuss everything with me and works with me to ensure there is consistency between his childcare setting and at home.
I would highly recommend anyone needing childcare, to use Sarah. I wouldn’t dream of taking my son anywhere else
Atkinson came to look after Archie for a few hours and we were so impressed! She is an absolute natural with our little man and I’ve never seen him take to someone like that before. Atkinson was kind, patient and entertaining and we can’t wait to see her again!

We came to visit Karen and Libbi after being recommended Cheeky Monkeys by a friend, and within seconds I knew I wanted our daughter to go there. They are just the best team.
The setting stands out from others in so many ways. The playroom is quite like a nursery setting - it's so colourful, there is a huge range of toys, it is spotlessly clean and the garden is amazing, all within the comfort and safety of a home.
The children are always doing fun activities, they have new topics every two weeks and they do flash cards and simple early learning daily. Our daughter has come along so much and she talks and sings songs she has learnt there, constantly. They also go on so many outings and Karen and Libbi really prioritise being outsid, going on walks, playing in the park and seeing new places. They also eat incredibly well!
They use an app called babydays where they upload daily photos and let you know about their day. There is nothing better than being at work and knowing your child is safe, happy and having so much fun.
Karen has so much experience and knowledge and I trust her more than anyone else when it comes to our toddler. She will go out of her way to help you, and you can tell both her and Libbi really love the children that they look after. Our daughter started when she was around 13 months old and despite being a little worried about leaving her anywhere I haven't once worried about her safety and happiness whilst being with Karen and Libbi and her friends. She is so so well looked after and I honestly wouldn't want her to be anywhere else.
Cheeky Monkeys is such a special family and if you are lucky enough to get a spot you really have won the lottery. Our daughter adores Karen and Libbi and her second home at Cheeky Monkeys.
Christelle cared for my son from 15 months to 3 years old and he was always happy to go there!
I liked the fact that they went out in the community to different play groups and parks every day, and there was always lots of variety in the activities they did. She planned lots of lovely crafts for each holiday throughout the year which I used to get so excited about.
Christelle was always so flexible and supportive, and would go out of her way to help in any situation. I felt she really cared ❤️
We will miss you Christelle!
My son has been coming here for around 6 months now, and we can really see how much he has learned during this time. He has picked up some new words and little things that he has clearly learned.
Sometimes in the evening, I show him the photos they have sent us during the day. From his face and reactions, we can often tell how he felt about his day and what he enjoyed. ❤️
Shazya and her team are very patient and caring. She knows my son very well and always notices the little changes in him. We’ve really enjoyed it so far.
Being a first time mum you feel you will never trust anyone enough to look after your child. Nat proved me wrong. Her gental, fun , home from home approach really helped me settle going back to work with not worries.
Not only did my son absolutely adore Nat, he has also created a beautiful bond with her children. The saddest news was Nat was relocating (tears were shed from all of us). I really couldn't recommend her enough and I feel anyone considering reaching out to her would be super lucky and their children would be the best versions of themselves. Nat and her beautiful family will be our life long friends now. Thank you for being amazing.

Both my children (3 yr old daughter and 15 month son) attend carries and they both absolutely adore her. We had to change from a different childminder due to them relocating and my 2 settled in so quickly with Carrie! They go to different playgroups and messy play, meet up with other childminders, go to parks, lots of arts and crafts etc. Carrie always keeps us up to date and I’ve also definitely noticed how much my daughter has learnt and picked up since being with Carrie. She loves my children so well and my 2 are always so happy on drop off and pick up. Everything a parent could want. Highly recommend xx

We are very happy with Holly. She is very caring, kind and flexible, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my daughter feels happy and comfortable.
My daughter is always so happy and excited to see her, which gives me great peace of mind. It is lovely to know that she is in such a warm and caring environment.
We really appreciate all her hard work, flexibility and dedication. Highly recommended! ❤️

Stephanie has been an amazing childminder for our beautiful daughter Arabella. From day one, she has created such a warm, safe, and caring environment where Arabella has been so happy
and settled. It’s been lovely to see how much her confidence, social skills, and learning have grown while in Stephanie’s care.
Stephanie is always kind, patient, and professional, and she keeps us updated with how Arabella’s day has gone, which gives us real peace of mind. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder, and we would highly recommend Stephanie to any family looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and dedicated. Thank you for everything you do!
