I have not enough words to thank Mrs Pranali for her care and dedication to my son.A very kind,nice,positive and happy person to work with.My son is so happy there playing with other kids,they have so many activities indoor and outdoor. Always happy to go there. Mrs Pranali is watching close the kids from playing, eating and assuring a good behaviour. I also saw a special relationship between my son and Mrs Pranali. He always gives her kisses when going home. A special person .Thank you so much Mrs Pranali

Sunnyside, with the love and care from Kerry and the team, has truly become our daughter’s second home. She absolutely loves being there, and as parents we can genuinely feel the love, kindness and attention she receives every time she goes.
There is such a lovely sense of family, warmth and security, which means so much to us. Kerry and the team have been amazing — caring, flexible, supportive and always making sure our little one feels happy, safe and loved.
We feel so lucky to have found Sunnyside, and we honestly couldn’t ask for a better place for our daughter. A huge thank you to Kerry and the whole team for everything you do.

I cannot recommend Jolanta enough, she has been caring and supportive of my son from the first contact, as well as constantly keeping me in the loop with daily pictures and updates.
My son absolutely loves his days with Jolanta, is happy to be dropped off there and always has a big smile on his face when I pick him up.
Jolanta treats all the children she cares for like her own and I couldn’t ask for anymore!
Kellie was a wonderful nanny at a wedding we went to. My (almost) 6 month old was so well looked after in a group of young babies with several nannies. Whenever I popped in during the event, my baby was being held, was changed, and seemed very happy. The nannies all held an incredible level of energy throughout a long event. Communication ahead of the wedding was fabulous as well, Kellie was warm and reassuring, and listened well to our baby’s needs. Kellie’s help meant we could enjoy the event with the occasional pop in, and without any worry or stress. Thank you and we highly recommend!
We’ve been so happy with the care and support provided by our childminder. The daily photo updates are wonderful and helpful as we can see all the fun activities and the learning throughout the day. The activities are always engaging, educational, and tailored to help children develop and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. The fully equipped garden is amazing and offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play for the children. Food is very healthy and communication is great. Our child has been extremely happy since day one. We would highly recommend this setting to other families.
Our little boy flourished full time in Kristy’s care from 13 months to when he went to pre-school. She’s been such a big part of our lives that we’ve all come to see Kristy as part of the family - the trust we have in her is well earned and our little boy adores her and her setting. Kristy communicates clearly, with care and always with the child in mind first. She is always looking at ways to support her family’s more too, a big one being introducing a hot meal - this was a game changer for us and we appreciated all the time taken to research the best suppliers for this. Kristy’s setting is perfect for anyone looking to have their little one in a home from home setting with all the sensory and learning you could get in a bigger nursery (she goes all out decorating for each theme, the children are truly spoilt with all that’s available to them - as are we as parents). I’d highly highly recommend Kristy’s.

We cannot recommend Annette Finn and Edward highly enough for the incredible care they have given our daughter, Mina. As a family newly relocated to the UK without nearby relatives or support, they truly became our “family away from family.”
They have helped Mina enormously with every part of her transition — behavior, socialization, learning routines and boundaries, potty training (honestly amazing!), eating, confidence, and overall development. The environment they provide is so rich, nurturing, and engaging. Mina has regular outings multiple times a week to wonderful educational and social places including Willows Farm, the zoo, aquarium, play groups, and more. She is constantly learning and experiencing new things.
There are genuinely days when I joke that Mina is probably getting a better experience with them than she would if I stayed home full time! The amount of care, stimulation, patience, and thought they put into childminding is extraordinary.
Their flexibility and support with pickups and dropoffs has also made an enormous difference for us, especially since we do not drive here yet. They have made what could have been a very difficult transition to life in the UK feel manageable, warm, and supported.
Knowing that we have someone able to help with our toddler as we navigate a new, complicated pregnancy has only made me more grateful. Cannot recommend enough!

Samantha, was more than accommodating to look after my 2 children (b8) (g5). We exchanged a lot of messages to make sure both parties happy with requirement. Samantha is very professional and has all consent forms and invoicing in place. Samantha was amazing with my children and they had lots of fun. They went to the park and then did some crafts before Samantha put them to bed. We have 5 chihuahuas which wasn't a problem for her. She even tidied up the children's living room to a high level. Which I did not expect her to do but is very much appreciated. The children have asked if she can look after them again when we next go out. Thanks Samantha the children loved you. Booking was 6pm to 11pm. My boy also has some SEND needs but she was very much prepared. Samantha sent me picture updates also. Will definitely book again.
Vanessa has been absolutely amazing with my son. She is caring, reliable, understanding, and always supportive. Even when I call her at the last minute or I’m running late, she has always been there to help. She also helps with dropping off and picking up, which has been a huge support for me.My son is always happy and comfortable with her,and I truly appreciate all the care she gives him.I would highly recommend her to any parent.
We love these two! Such amazing beautiful souls, they've become friends of our family
Indigo started with Sofia and Bella when she was just 6 months old, and stayed with them right through until she was over 2. When the time came to transition into nursery, she loved it so much we had to do it gradually! 3 days with Sofia and Bella and 1 at nursery, then 2 and 2, then 1 and 3. Even then, Sofia and Bella's was always her favourite, always where she asked to go every single morning
She thrived there. Creative play of every kind, plenty of time outdoors, her very first friends, and a steady stream of beautiful little art pieces she would proudly bring home to us. She was always happy to arrive and always happy when we picked her up
It gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our daughter was in the very best hands. Truly invaluable. The space itself is gorgeous and intimate, packed with creative things for the kids to get stuck into
These two have honestly got to be the best childminders in town, and we've met plenty of carers over the years who have looked after Indi. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them, and even luckier to have them in our daughter's life. Bella also became Indi's number one choice of babysitter and in all honesty, I think Bella is Indigo's best friend. She even named her favourite doll Bella! 🤣
We love these guys, and if you're lucky enough to have your child cared for by them, you'll already know you couldn't have asked for better 🙏
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sunnyside. Our son started with Kerry and the team when he was 2.5 years old after his nursery unexpectedly closed, and from the very beginning they made what could have been a difficult transition feel so warm, safe and positive.
They create such a loving and nurturing environment, and it’s clear how much genuine care and attention goes into every child. The activities are always thoughtful, creative and engaging, and we love receiving the daily photo updates showing everything they’ve been up to. The outdoor space is fantastic too and regularly refreshed with new equipment and activities, which keeps the children constantly excited and exploring.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves going to Sunnyside. Now at 4 years old he is still always excited to go, which says everything. We honestly couldn’t recommend Kerry and the Sunnyside team more highly. They have had such a positive impact on our son and our family.

Sam helped us over the course of a few days babysitting for my little one (15 months). Sam babysat one night and then looked after our daughter all day and evening at our rented house whilst we were at a wedding. Our daughter was happy as Larry and had a fun time playing with Sam. Sam sent us some cute videos throughout the day to reassure us all was well. Recommend!
I cannot recommend Sara enough. Both me and my children absolutely adored her. She is incredibly kind, warm, patient, friendly and trustworthy, and from the moment she arrived, she made my children feel comfortable, safe and happy.
She spent time genuinely playing with them, keeping them engaged and making sure they were having a lovely time. She was so caring and attentive to all of their needs, always making sure they were comfortable, well looked after and happy.
My younger child became very attached to her and only wanted to sleep cuddled up in her arms, which truly showed how safe and comforted he felt with her. My older son also absolutely loved her, listened to her so well and wanted to stay close to her the whole time.
As a mum, it means everything to find someone you can genuinely trust with your children, and Sara gave me complete peace of mind. She is truly lovely, caring and amazing with children. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone reliable, nurturing and genuinely wonderful. ❤️

I cannot recommend Kerry, Jackie and Nanny K at Sunnyside highly enough. As a family-run setting, they genuinely treat every child as an extension of their own family, creating a warm, nurturing and trusting environment.
We have complete confidence in their care, they are attentive, reliable, and keep us consistently updated with photos and insights into our child’s development and learning. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned and often linked to real-life events, which adds meaningful context to the children’s experiences.
Their garden is secure, engaging and filled with opportunities for fun, play and exploration. Every aspect of their setting reflects the care and dedication they put into supporting the children.
We have no complaints whatsoever and would wholeheartedly recommend Kerry and her family to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.

Both of my children went to Annemarie from the age of 1 until 3 or 4 and had the best time with her. The care she provides is second to none and the creativity that she brings to their play is amazing! Annemarie became an extension of our family helping us to bring up our children, offering advice and support on all challenges of parenting! The boys still talk about her now at 5 and 7, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder who will teach, care for and nurture your children in a home from home environment.
I have been sending both my son and daughter (pre-school age) to Aunty Zainab & team for over a year now and the impact on both my children’s and my life has been incredible. I have seen a complete turn around in my kids attitude to go to a childcare setting where previously they were unable to settle in a nursery setting. I have also noticed how much confidence they have gained and look forward to hearing the stories from their day with Aunty Zainab & team.
The kids always come back having learnt something new whether it be numbers, days of the week or a new song. The team also keeps me updated with regular pictures and text messages and I am always encouraged to message should I need to.
My kids are particularly fond of Aunty Ashi who really gives them a boost every morning on drop off & my daughter often gets excited to go in and tell her what she’s been up to on the weekends. All of the staff go above and beyond for the kids as well as the parents and they really have been a life saver for me as I don’t have anyone else to rely on!

We used Kay's services as the first childminder for our baby girl, at the time she was approx 15 months. Kay was a delight to deal with from the offset being very prompt with messages and also providing updates throughout the day with pictures, we really appreciated this as we felt reassured throughout the day seeing pictures of her food and activities. We also feel that Kay did promote development and skills that we did not realise at first, it was only in a wider setting with other children and on the reports of activities completed during her stay that we realised Kay was very proactive at pushing development with her. I would recommend Kay to all friends and family with no concerns.
