I can’t recommend Olga enough! She recently looked after my daughters, and they had a fantastic time with her. She is incredibly warm, professional, and trustworthy. My girls are already asking when she’s coming back! Thank you so much, Olga, for taking such great care of them.

Yasmin - London

My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves her time with Yasmin. She is attentive, kind, fun and also musical which my daughter adores! I highly recommend Yasmin.

We were only in London for the summer, but I would've hired her full time if we could!

Michelle has cared for our children with such kindness, warmth and genuine love that it's difficult to put into words just how grateful we are. She creates a home-from-home environment where children feel safe, valued and free to be themselves. Every child is treated as an individual, and she takes the time to truly understand their personalities, interests and needs.
Her communication with parents has always been excellent, and we've had complete confidence that our children were happy, well cared for and making wonderful memories. Michelle goes above and beyond every single day, providing fun activities, encouragement and endless patience, while giving children the confidence to grow and thrive.
Leaving Michelle is one of the hardest parts of our move. She hasn't just been our childminder – she's become a cherished part of our family's story. We will always be thankful for the love, care and dedication she has shown our children, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Michelle caring for their children.

Beth - Ware
Reviewed

Beth has worked with us as a nanny for our daughter Robin for two years, and our experience of her has been exceptional. She is everything I would hope for in a nanny; supremely warm, kind, present, thoughtful, and imaginative in her time with Robin. She has a natural ability to connect with children, and brings real care to the process every day.

The thing that has made Beth so indispensable to us is the bond she has built with Robin. Robin absolutely loves her, and their relationship feels secure, caring and genuinely joyful. Beth is very attuned to Robin’s personality and needs and takes a thoughtful interest in child development, routines, emotions and the specific things that help Robin feel safe and happy.

She is also lovely to have around as a family. She's calm, punctual, communicative, responsible and considerate. We have always felt very confident leaving Robin in her care. She has good judgement, keeps us well updated, and approaches the role with real dedication.

In short, we love Beth and feel very lucky to have had her as part of Robin’s life. I would absolutely recommend her - I'd be pleased to give a telephone reference to anyone who would like one.

Merrill - Colchester

Merril has been absolutely wonderful with my daughter. She is kind, energetic, fun, and instantly made my little girl feel safe and comfortable. My daughter genuinely loves spending time with her, which gives me complete peace of mind.

Her communication is excellent. She is reliable, trustworthy, and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate as a parent. Merril is also incredibly sensitive and knowledgeable about children with different needs. She takes the time to understand each child as an individual and adapts her approach with patience, warmth, and genuine compassion.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Merril to any family looking for someone who is not only highly professional but also truly caring. She has been a fantastic support to our family, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.

I was lucky enough to meet Sally this weekend to babysit my child. She was kind, caring and everything that you would want in such a situation. My child has already been asking when they will see her again. I would definitely recommend Sally to others.

Millie - Northampton
Reviewed

Millie is an absolutely amazing nanny to my little girl. They have the most incredible bond. I was really nervous at first with the transition, but Millie was there supporting my baby and myself. She has helped grow my daughter’s speech development and takes her to local toddler classes to support her social development. All I hear downstairs when I’m working is the two of them laughing or singing together. Millie will forever be apart of my family.

Mai - London
Reviewed

Mai looked after our 12-month old little girl 2 days a week for nearly 2 months. She has a very calm and unflappable nature which we really appreciated and she was always extremely punctual and communicative. Our daughter was very comfortable with her right away and always happy to see her. Mai helped us establish a consistent nap and meals routine and was always proactive in seeking out places to go and different activities in the local neighbourhood. We only stopped using Mai as our nanny as we were moving away for an extended period. We would recommend her to anyone!

Alberta - Crawley
Reviewed

Where would I start, my husband and I knew from the minute we stepped in Alberta’s house that she’s the one we’re looking for to look after our grandson.
Very tidy and clean house, dedicated place for kids to play, safe, clean and comfortable.
She’s very nice yet very professional.
I would highly recommend Alberta to anyone looking for 5stars service.
Will definitely go back to Alberta in the very near future.

For the past two years, this wonderful nursery has been so much more than childcare for our family—it has truly been a home away from home for both of my children. From the moment they walked through the door each day, they were surrounded by warmth, love, and genuine care. The nurturing environment gave them the confidence to grow, learn, and thrive at their own pace, with every aspect of their individual needs recognised and supported. The home-cooked meals are exceptional, nutritious, and made with so much care, and the level of personalised attention each child receives is second to none. It is clear that every child is treated as an individual and is genuinely loved and valued. Watching both of my children flourish here has been such a privilege, and I cannot thank Miri and the team enough for the dedication, kindness, and unwavering support they have shown our family. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and truly exceptional environment for their child or children!

I cannot recommend Marta and her team highly enough. My son has been attending since he was just over one years old, and as he now gets ready to leave and start school, it feels like the end of such a special chapter. Our younger daughter also attends and will continue with Marta until she’s ready for school too.

From day one, Marta and the team have provided a warm, safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where both of our children have thrived. They genuinely care about every child as an individual, taking the time to understand their personalities, interests, and developmental needs. It’s clear that the children’s happiness, wellbeing, and progress are always their top priority.

The range of activities they provide is fantastic. Every day seems to bring something new, from creative play and outdoor adventures to educational activities that encourage learning through fun. My children always come home smiling, excited to tell us about what they’ve been doing and what they’ve learnt.

The progress we’ve seen in our son over the years has been incredible. His confidence, independence, social skills, communication, and readiness for school have all developed so much thanks to the support, encouragement, and guidance from Marta and her team.

One thing we particularly love is the mix of different ages. It creates such a lovely atmosphere where the younger children learn from the older ones. The standard of care is exceptional. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed about our children’s day, development, and any important updates.

Choosing someone to care for your child is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, and we have never once doubted that ours were in the very best hands. Thank you, Marta, and the team, for the love, care, patience, and dedication you’ve shown over the years. You have played such an important part in our children’s early years, and we are incredibly grateful.

Georgia - Ambleside
Reviewed

We absolutely loved having Georgia as our nanny. She cared for our son over the past two years, from his 2 till 4 yo. Georgia treated him like a member of her own family and filled his days with fun, meaningful experiences and adventures. From hiking, paddle boarding and trips to children's activity centres to baking, crafting and exploring new places, every day was active, engaging and different. She also introduced him to swimming, which he absolutely loves now.

When our son was diagnosed with autism, Georgia's support was invaluable. She embraced and reinforced all aspects of his therapies, including ABA, PECS communication, toilet training and developing self-care skills such as dressing independently, washing, etc. Her patience, positivity and calm nature helped him make progress. I'm especially grateful that she regularly invited our son to have dinner and spend time with her big family, my son absolutely loved those visits, always came back happy.

I can say, Georgia is a truly exceptional nanny. Our son adored her, and so did we.

Writing this review is quite emotional, as it marks the end of a very special chapter in our lives. After three wonderful years, our little one is moving on from your caring hands into the bigger world of school.

Thank you Jolanta for the love, patience, and care you showed every single day. From encouraging her first milestones to helping her explore nature, creating beautiful crafts for special occasions, and making every celebration memorable, you gave her so many happy memories.

As parents, we are proud to see how confident, curious, and kind she has become, and we know you have played a big part in preparing her for this next adventure.

Thank you for being such an important part of our daughter’s early years. We will always look back on this time with gratitude and wish you nothing but happiness and success in the future.

We couldn't recommend Sally highly enough, and we feel so lucky to have found her, Michael and Sophie to look after our daughter.

Our daughter, Millie, joined just after turning one. We had been apprehensive about leaving her with someone else as she was going through a timid phase, but from our first visit we knew we had found the perfect place that was far more appropriate for her than a bigger nursery. We were amazed at the extent to which Sally has transformed her home into such a great place for young children, and her warm, caring nature instantly put to rest any nervousness we had about handing over the care of our daughter. The fact that it is a family run operation with her partner and daughter working alongside her only reinforced it further.

We love hearing what Millie has been up to each day, and the children are always out and about with walks to different parks and playgrounds, and the photos we're sent are a highlight of our evenings. The recent heatwaves really showed how much Sally cares about the children’s wellbeing and she so thoughtfully planned the days and home environment to ensure the children were not only safe but still able to have a great time.

In the three months that Millie has been at Sally’s she has become so much more confident and this is down to the warm, kind nurturing environment created by Sally, Michael and Sophie. They've really made her feel at home in their care and she's developed and grown so much in the last few months - Millie’s been so happy and so have we.

Thank you Sally, Michael and Sophie!

Lauren has been caring for my two boys, aged 4 and 2, one morning a week at our home, and they always look forward to her visits. She arrives with plenty of toys and activities and is wonderfully engaging with them both. Lauren is tidy, makes sure the boys are well fed, and ensures all of their care needs are met. I would happily recommend her, especially if you are looking for someone who is kind, positive, and reliable.

Finding a childminder is the most daunting experience for new parents (especially first time parents) but from the second we met Jade we knew we found someone special. Our daughter was nine months old when she first went to Jade's and she's just finished her last week there before she goes to school!
Jade makes it seem like a breeze looking after your child, whilst keeping you updated with photos throughout the day which keeps you at ease!
Each week is a new fun theme and she always puts 100% into everything she does and makes your child feel like the most special kid in the world. She really made my daughter feel like family and now she is leaving with what I hope to be friends for life with the strong bonds that are made with the other children in the setting.
All meals are healthy and she always takes the time to give great updates again throughout the day or ok pick up, so you actually know what your child has been up to all day!
Jade loves spending time outdoors no matter the weather which my daughter absolutely loves and she is a great believer that a mucky kid is a happy kid and we agree 100%
To be honest I could go on forever about how much she's been there but there really isn't enough words, and there has been many a tear shed that my daughters time has come and gone but that goes to show how much of an impact she has/ will have on your child. Absolutely one of a kind. Thank you!

Kellie - Leebotwood
5 stars Wow
Reviewed

From the moment we booked Kellie several months before the wedding, we knew we had made the right decision. She gave us complete reassurance from start to finish, always making us feel confident that our children would be in the very best hands.

As a groomsman and bridesmaid, we knew we wouldn’t have been able to fully take part in the day without someone we completely trusted to care for our children. Hiring Kellie turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.

The children took to her immediately. She has such a warm, calm and caring nature that they felt comfortable with her from the moment they met. Throughout the day she kept us updated with messages and photos, so we always knew how they were getting on. We never once felt the need to check in because Kellie was always one step ahead, keeping us informed and reassuring us that they were happy, safe and having the best time. At the end of the day, she even sent us a lovely summary of everything they’d done together, which was such a thoughtful touch.

We honestly felt so boujee having our own wedding nanny, and it quickly became one of the best decisions we made. Rather than feeling like a luxury, it turned out to be an absolute necessity. It meant we could completely relax, enjoy the celebrations and focus on our roles, knowing our children were being cared for by someone who genuinely treated them like her own.

Kellie didn’t just look after our children, she genuinely made our whole day better. She became our unofficial photographer, capturing beautiful moments of our family that we otherwise would never have had. We also have lovely photos of the children enjoying the day while we were busy with our bridal party duties, and those memories are absolutely priceless.

She went above and beyond in so many ways. Before she left, she even tidied our room, which perfectly sums up the kind of person she is, thoughtful, caring and always looking for ways to help. She knew exactly when to blend into the background and when to step in and support us. She was incredibly professional while also feeling like part of the family.

The venue wasn’t particularly baby or toddler friendly, but we never had to worry. Kellie made sure the children were safe, entertained and happy throughout the day, which meant we could fully enjoy the celebrations without any stress or guilt.

So many guests commented on how amazing she was and how lucky we were to have found her. We couldn’t agree more. She exceeded every expectation and played such a huge part in making the day so special for all of us.

If you’re thinking about booking Kellie, don’t even hesitate. She is worth every penny. We honestly can’t recommend her highly enough and will always be so grateful for the care, kindness and reassurance she gave our family.

Sophie C - Colchester

Sophie looked after our three-year-old son at our home on two occasions while we went for our baby scan appointments, as children aren't allowed in the scanner room. She stayed for around three hours each time and everything went really smoothly. Our son was very well looked after and happy, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were out. We'd happily book Sophie again and recommend her to other parents.

Patience is a kind, caring childminder. I cannot recommend her enough! She has been looking after my son for 6 months now and he is very happy there. Her communication is next to none and her nursing experience sets my mind at ease. Easily 5 stars!

Kirsty was a really wonderful nanny to my 3-month-old little boy. He took to her immediately and she settled him easily. She's clearly very experienced and also organised, friendly and diligent to boot. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
