I don’t know where to start!
We haven’t just gained a childminder, we’ve gained a friend too.
Our child has been coming to Tina and her crew for a year now and they’ve always made us feel like family. They always treat the children like their own! They are so loving and always have open arms. Tina’s home gives a lovely warmth and cosy feel which helps my son settle well.
Since being at the setting we have found our son has progressed so much. He’s much more confident, relaxed, talking a lot, has learnt lots of new skills and generally more happy! He is also eating lots of new types of food which he would normally refuse at home. They also give lots of healthy snacks through out the day which he loves.
The team are great with special requirements, after letting them know about our son’s needs they were there to help right from the start.
Every time we pick up our son he is always smiling and often comes home with handmade pictures and decorations!
I cannot thank the team enough for sending updates/photographs throughout the day, it makes us so happy to see how much fun he is having, especially when they go on days out to the farm etc!
We wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after our son.
We feel so blessed to have such an amazing childminder and team ♥️
We feel so lucky to have found Rachel and that she had space for us. Our daughter was 7 months when she first started attending and we were nervous in that transition. Our settling in sessions were incredibly calm and reassuring and, now 12 months on, our daughter has thrived. She loves going to Rachel's and we've never had an issue with drop off. She is incredibly well fed with home cooked, nutritious meals and Rachel is creative and innovative and thoughtful in how she structures the day. They regularly go on outings but even if they're at home there's a brilliant mix of active, structured, unstructured and craft / art play. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Herah came to my place for the first time today we loved her. She is very gentle and caring towards my little boy. They took a stroll to the local park. Kept me updated throughout the visit with videos. Asked for any information she might require regarding my son. We planned another day for babysitting with her and I’m really looking forward to it. Because of her my meeting went really well I feel so relaxed knowing my little one was in safe hand. She provided all the necessary documentation for safety precautions. Highly recommend her to everyone.
Thanks Herah for being so helpful.

Our little boy Finley joined at 1year old and pretty much went in full time with Laura. He loved it and made so many new friends who then have moved on with him to school nursery at 3years making it a great transition.
We’ve already booked our second child in for next year as we know he will be looked after and have the home environment we want him to enjoy in is early years too.

Friendly, creative and engaging nursery setting. Staff are wonderful and my daughter is so happy every day she goes in! A range of activities, and I love that they have different speakers and clubs come in such as rugby tots, doctors and fire service! Wish I had found them for my older children!!

Over the moon with the services Bayleigh offers, my little girl is beyond happy spending time with her, I always come home to a happy smiley little girl until Bayleigh has to leave! I highly recommend Bayleigh as she goes above and beyond her duties as not just looking after my daughter but also did some cleaning in my house as well, thank you so much 💙

Timnit has been the most amazing nanny to our son. She has looked after him from when he was eight months old to one year, taking him for two mornings a week. She is incredibly experienced and professional, as well as punctual, flexible, and so kind, attentive and generous. Our son bonded with her so fast and loves his time with her. They go out to play groups and so many fun activities. I have seen how he has become more confident socialising with other children and being around new people under her calm and gentle care. Timnit has also helped us with meal times, sleep and successfully getting our son onto a one nap schedule. We love her approach of teamwork with us, as parents. She is communicative and regularly shares updates of what our son is getting up to. Timnit goes above and beyond, for example coming to the doctor with me when our son was ill and helping me ask all the right questions. She has provided invaluable warmth and support over the past months, I can’t recommend her highly enough. We will miss her hugely now our son is at nursery.

Sonata has been looking after my 14 month old since she turned 1 in November. I cannot praise Sonata enough. My daughter is so excited at drop off she doesn’t look back. We’ve never had her crying, upset and not wanting to go. The updates on the baby days app are a great feature to the setting updating us throughout the day with feeding, Sleep times, nappy changes and the lovely update of photos. I am so so happy we decided to use Sonata and Happy Hearts Home it’s lovely to see all the children happy in the setting and excited to go. I love the weekly newsletter too which tells parents what they’re getting up to the following week, the book they are focusing on and also a menu of the food they’ll be having. It’s great. We’re just at the beginning of our journey but I already know my baby will be here in years to come. Thank you Sonata for caring so well for my baby. As a mum we always worry about leaving them in childcare I can honestly say I don’t have any worries leaving her here. Xxx
Sara and Kev have been absolutely wonderful with our child, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to support her in her early years. From day one, they’ve shown so much care, patience, and genuine warmth, not just towards our child, but towards us as a family too.
They’ve created such a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where our child feels happy, confident, and excited to go each day. It’s clear how much time and thought they put into understanding each child as an individual. Our child has been encouraged to explore, learn, and grow at her own pace, and we’ve seen such a lovely boost in her confidence, independence, and social skills as a result.
Communication has always been excellent, we’re kept informed, reassured, and included, and it’s obvious how deeply they care about the children’s wellbeing. The kindness, consistency, and enthusiasm Sara and Kev bring every day really shines through, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our child is in such safe and loving hands.
We’re incredibly grateful for everything they do and feel very lucky to have had them play such an important part in our child’s early development. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Finding the right childcare is such a significant decision, but Sara and Kev made it an easy one for us. They are incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming people - exactly the sort of family you want in your child’s life. Our daughter settled into their care almost instantly, feeling at home from the very start.
What sets them apart from most is their experience and background in education. They are highly tuned into each child’s 'next steps,' ensuring they are effectively prepared for the future while still getting the most enjoyment from their childhood. Their setting is filled with both high-quality resources and loving, handmade items that not only nurture a genuine love of play but are also thoughtfully educational.
We are also so impressed by their energy; the children go on almost daily outings and adventures, ensuring every day is full of discovery. We feel so lucky to have found such a nurturing, professional, and stimulating environment for our daughter!
We have tried a few different childcare options with our children over the years but nothing comes close to the experience we have had with Kate in her home and at the Hut.
Her setting, staff and herself are amazing, welcoming, kind, caring. I can say that my daughter loves coming to see Kate and the team, and from a development perspective she is much more confident than my other children at this age!
She goes above and beyond.

We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our daughter. She is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children she looks after. From day one, she made us feel confident and at ease, and our daughter settled in so well under her care. She provides a safe and nurturing environment and always takes the time to support our daughter’s learning.Communication is great, and we are always kept informed about our child’s day.
Sadly we had to move far way . we will always be very grateful for the love and attention she gave our daughter and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for reliable, high-quality childcare.
Tas is amazing, and has helped our toddler settle in so well. The setting is very much a warm, friendly, cosy home from home, and exactly what we were hoping for. Tas does activities with the children and our toddler is always bringing home pictures that she has drawn with Tas that day.
Kathryn has been everything we could possibly ask for when thinking of someone suitable to look after our son. She has been our childminder for over a year for our now almost three year old, and she truly feels like another mummy to Ray. Kathryn has the most wonderful temperament and is so warm, friendly and kind. She gives Ray so much love and affection, and he feels completely safe and relaxed in her care. We trust her implicitly, and that’s all you could ever want in a childminder.
They are always out and about in the local area, visiting different playgroups, National Trust sites and going on walks, and they also love getting crafty at home. Kathryn has a loving home and a wonderful family, who Ray has also grown very fond of.
At pick-up, Kathryn always gives honest and clear feedback, letting me know what they’ve been up to, what Ray has eaten, nap times, nappy changes, anything to note etc.
Kathryn is incredibly reliable and always communicates well in advance about any changes or holiday dates and is also super flexible when I need her to be.
Ray often tells us that he misses 'my Kathryn', and we reassure him that he’ll see her tomorrow. We feel so lucky to have found Kathryn and honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a caring, loving and playful mother figure / best friend.
