I honestly can't recommend Amy enough! 💕
She was absolutely amazing with my twins, and I couldn't have wished for a better childminder. It was the first time leaving my girls with someone else and Amy made it very easy. I never once worried while they were in her care. They were always doing different activities and have a great time. I also saw her in action at a local playgroup she attended with the children she looked after and she was always so attentive and prepared for anything. Amy was one of the reasons I didn’t want to move house as it meant I would have to find other childcare. Couldn’t recommend her enough ❤️
She was absolutely great with my 10 month old. Shes still quite little and is very attached to me but Harley did a great job with distracting her. She helped with chores around the house, played with her and took her for walks.
It’s very clear that she has a lot of experience with children.
I’m very happy that we chose to go with her and I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Thank you Harley!
Mila and Tanya looked after my little girl from October 2025 - August 2026 and i have to say i have been absolutley thrilled. She has settled in soo well and is always happy on drop offs. She especially likes all the outings and the paddling pool. I felt at ease leaving my little one and absolutley love the daily feedback with pictures. If you want a home from home with people that give your children the love, care and boundaries that you would at home then Mila is perfect choice. It is a shame we are leaving but due to relocation we have to. Oh and the food is amazing! Freshly prepared and with a brilliant variety. My little girl even talks about them at weekends.
We honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder than Jo.
Catalina was with Jo for around a year, attending three days a week from the age of two. We visited two other childminders before meeting Jo, but from our very first phone conversation I felt an instant connection. When we went for our visit, Catalina walked straight in and made herself completely at home. She was normally quite shy in new environments, but with Jo she treated it as though it was her own house. That immediately gave me so much confidence that we'd found the right place.
From day one, Jo treated Catalina like one of her own family. She genuinely cares about every child she looks after, and it shows in everything she does. One of the biggest changes we saw while Catalina was with Jo was how much she developed. Her confidence, speech and love of learning came on in leaps and bounds during that year. Jo did so many fun educational activities with the children, including early phonics and learning through play, and you could really see how passionate she is about helping children reach their full potential. Catalina absolutely loved learning with Jo, and we truly believe Jo played a huge part in preparing her for nursery and giving her such a positive start.
Jo constantly went above and beyond, taking the children on wonderful outings, creating exciting experiences and making every day fun. Whether it was trips to the farm, thoughtful little gifts or celebrating birthdays and Christmas, she always put so much love and care into everything she did.
The effort she made for special occasions was incredible too. Mother's Day and Father's Day were always so thoughtful. I still treasure the beautiful keepsakes she helped Catalina make, including a handprint photo frame, along with flowers, chocolates and a card. They're memories we'll keep forever.
The only reason Catalina eventually left was because the older children she had formed close friendships with moved on to nursery and school, and we felt she needed to be in a larger group of children her own age for the next stage of her development. It had absolutely nothing to do with Jo or the quality of care she provided.
Even now, more than six months later, Catalina still regularly talks about Jo, and we still keep in touch. We often see each other because Jo's son attends the same school, and it's lovely that she's remained such a special part of our lives.
Jo isn't just an amazing childminder—she is one of the kindest, most caring and passionate people you could hope to leave your child with. Knowing Catalina was with her gave me complete peace of mind every single day. She treated her as if she were one of her own, and as a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than that.
If you're looking for a childminder who provides a true home-from-home environment, genuinely loves every child she cares for, goes above and beyond every single day, and helps children flourish in every aspect of their development, then I cannot recommend Jo highly enough. Choosing Jo was one of the best decisions we ever made, and we'll always be grateful for the love, care and memories she gave our family.

Our 3 year old has been under the care of Louise and Mimi for nearly a year now and I couldn’t wish for anything more. They are passionate, calm and the children adore them. The forest school ethos provides such a brilliant experience for young children and our son has thrived. He has grown in confidence, made brilliant friends, and can now teach me things I didn’t know about nature! Before he started there I was a bit nervous about the British weather and so much outdoor learning but Louise and Mimi manage this so brilliantly to maximise fresh air and adventures through the woods and the common. The children love it. And if the weather is very bad they have a lovely play room to seek shelter. It is truly a magical experience for a child growing up in London and I feel so lucky we found it. I’m excited for my youngest to start there too!
Karla was so lovely with our little one. He was around 3.5 months old and she handled him with ease. He loved her energy and she was also great at soothing him during naptime. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends and hope to use her services again too! Wonderful!
Trish has looked after my 16 year old for the last 2.5 years. She is very child centred, and always focussed on the best interests of the child in her care. She is professional, reliable and kind. I really appreciate her open communication - on the rare occasions when there has been an issue she has let me know and we’ve worked out a solution together. My daughter, who has severe anxiety, loves spending time with her and completely trusts her. I know they will stay in touch when my daughter moves on to new things at the end of the summer. Thanks Trish, it’s been a pleasure and I’m grateful we found you.

Sophie is absolutely wonderful, kind, reliable, and genuinely caring. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease, and our children feel happy and secure in her care. She creates a warm, fun environment with plenty of activities and learning opportunities. Communication is excellent, and we’re always kept updated. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
George has looked after my son for the past two years, since he was nine years old (after school) and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He’s reliable, trustworthy and completely dependable. In all that time, he never once cancelled at the last minute or called in sick.
Whether it’s taking my son to football training, going to the park or finding fun things to do together, George is always proactive and keeps him active and engaged. They’ve built such a lovely bond, and my son genuinely looks forward to spending time with him.
George has been a wonderful role model, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him in our lives. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any family.

My daughter started going to Avery’s when she was just one, and she is now two. I can honestly say we have been so happy with everything.
Maggie and all the lovely ladies working there are wonderful. They are so kind, caring and you can really see that the children are well looked after. My daughter loves going there so much, most mornings she just runs straight in and sometimes doesn’t even say goodbye. It broke my heart a little at first, but at the same time it made me so happy because I know she feels safe and happy there.
They do so many different activities with the children, and there is always something nice going on, play, learning activities, entertainment and even birthday parties for the kids. The home cooked meals are also such a lovely thing.
The best part for me is that my child really loves it there. She even asks to go at the weekend too, which says everything really.
As a parent it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is cared for properly and is happy every day. We are so grateful to Maggie and the team and would definitely recommend Avery’s to other parents. Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl 🥰🌸

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Annie (& team). From day one, Annie has been warm, caring and welcoming, and our child has absolutely loved being with her. Annie has always taken the time to understand her individual needs and routines, adapting as she's grown and making sure she feels happy, secure and supported. Annie's flexibility has also been invaluable to us as a working family. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Annie to anyone looking for a kind, nurturing and reliable childminder.
Over the last six months Yasmin and her assistants have provided a warm, nuturing and caring environment where our daughter has truly thrived. She absolutely loved spending time with Yasmin and being part of her little friendship group, and it's been wonderful to see her confidence, independence and development grow during her time there.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Yasmin to any family looking for a loving, supportive and professional childcare setting. Thank you for giving Nina such a happy and positive start!
We could not be happier with the care our daughter receives! She settled in and adapted so quickly, which gave us complete peace of mind. The amount of effort put into arts, crafts, and fun, creative activities is amazing. Our daughter always comes home happy and excited about her day. We are so incredibly grateful for such a nurturing, fun, and safe environment. Highly recommended!
When I had my second daughter, I knew there would be no doubt about who'd I'd be contacting - Gail!
A home from home environment that allows children to flourish in Gail's care.
I go to work leaving my 18 month old in Gail's care without a worry - I know she is in a loving and nurturing environment where it feels like she is with family.
I can't recommend Gail enough as a childminder and as a loving, caring person who provides support for parents as well as the children.

Finding Tina as our childminder has been one of the best decisions we've made for our family. From day one, it was clear that she provides an outstanding level of care, professionalism, and dedication. Alongside Carol and Eloise, they create such a warm, nurturing, and happy environment where children are genuinely loved, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
The range of activities is incredible, with something new and engaging every day that helps children learn through play, creativity, and exploration. It's wonderful to see how much thought and effort goes into planning experiences that support every stage of their development. We especially love the photo journal, which captures so many special moments, and the beautiful big learning book that documents all the children's achievements, milestones, and activities. These keepsakes are priceless and show just how much care goes into everything they do.
Communication is excellent. The daily record book is always completed with details about meals, naps, activities, and how the day has gone, giving us complete peace of mind and making us feel involved in our children's day.
The food is another highlight. Our children absolutely love mealtimes, and they're offered such a healthy, varied, and nutritious range of homemade meals and snacks. It's reassuring to know they are eating so well while trying lots of different foods.
Most importantly, Tina, Carol, and Eloise genuinely care about every child. They build wonderful relationships with the children and families, and it shows in how excited our children are to go each day. They come home happy, confident, full of stories, and always learning something new.
We couldn't recommend Tina highly enough. She truly is the best childminder around, and we feel incredibly lucky that our children have had such a positive, caring, and inspiring start with her and her fantastic team.
Sophie is incredible and made leaving my little boy 2 days a week so much easier! He LOVES his time there and Sophie offers a first class service. They do lots of outdoor play, painting, sensory, singing and even park visits. Her house is spotless and I couldn’t recommend her more :)
Tina is kind, caring, friendly, and truly passionate about looking after children. She is always punctual, reliable, and creates a warm, safe, and happy environment.
She regularly takes the children out for fun and educational activities, encourages reading and writing, and always finds creative ways to help them learn and develop. We especially love the thoughtful surprises, such as the beautiful handmade cards the children make for parents and siblings on special occasions.
She also takes the time to get the children ready for preschool, helping them become confident, independent, and well prepared. It's clear that she genuinely cares about every child and goes above and beyond in everything she does. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder and would highly recommend her to any family.
Our Daughter absolutely loves being with Tina!!!
