We feel extremely lucky to have found Julie, we were looking for a full time nanny to look after our 3 month old. It was a very stressful time, right in the middle of Covid lockdown. I had to go back to work earlier than hoped and we were too far away from our family to get their support. Julie became such an important part of our family, and our bubble! She gave me the support I needed navigating the new life of a mum, gently guiding me or giving me the reassurance I needed. Her experience really showed in the way she looked after our little boy, he immediately was comfortable with Julie and to this day 5 years on still calls her Nanny Julie. Julie was with us for 4 years in total, also supporting us with baby number 2, looking after both boys until they moved on to school and playgroup. Julie is still very much part of the family and the boys love looking through the beautiful photo albums she made with them of all the fun times they spent together. Genuinely could not recommend Julie enough, she is kind, calm and so knowledgeable about children and taking care of them.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Violeta ! We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for our daughter. She started caring for her when she was just 9 months old, and over the past 2 years she has played such an important role in her early development.
From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where our daughter could thrive. It’s been amazing to see how much she has grown in confidence, curiosity, and happiness under her care. Every day was filled with thoughtful activities, play, and learning, all tailored to support her development.
What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and attention she gives to each child. We always had complete peace of mind knowing our daughter was not only well looked after, but truly cared for. Communication was excellent, and we always felt included in our daughter’s day-to-day experiences.
You have no idea how lucky you will be to have her taking care of your little one!

Rosie has been a great support to me and the children. She looks after my children when am at work and the children loves her. She drops them in school early and picks them up afterschool. She supports my children a lot and makes my life a lot easier. Rosie is a blessing to myself and the kids. She helps with homework, feeding and taking the children to the park to play. She is part of my MUST HAVE as a mum.
Faby has looked after my 18 month old daughter for 6 months now, and is completely exceptional. We love her and so does my daughter, and I completely trust her to not only take care of my daughters safety and wellbeing, but she also does so many creative activities, goes on adventures and has fun with her. Faby’s teaching background means she doesn’t just supervise, she really engages and helps my daughter learn and explore new things, and we can see the difference she makes to her development. The singing and dancing they do together is a particular highlight!
Faby is always prompt, reliable and communicates really well. She cooks and eats with my daughter, takes her out on trips, and always leaves everything clean and tidy.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services and skills and we feel truly lucky to have her in our lives.

Aunty Pat, what can I say about this amazing lady. Sent from heaven. Let me tell you I had been looking for a good childminder for 4 months. I kid you not. My son had a stroke and has difficulty with his hand, and I never would leave my son with just anyone. Not even family. I called Aunty Pat told her my struggle with a child with additional needs and she said bring him I would love to meet him. She was so personable, likeable, I felt like I was speaking to one of my actual aunties. Such a humble woman. I went to her house and met her in person and I felt like family, like I was home. She has an amazing spirit, let me tell you guys you will get many childminders out there but not a lot of them genuinely care about your child and have an amazing spirit. You want someone with a warm spirit who your child can take to. Aunty Pat had an amazing spirit and my family said yes she’s the one for Kaleem. My son is delayed in walking aunty Pat started helping him to walk straight away, she started getting him to use his right hand as soon as we got there. She even checked up on me to make sure me and my son was ok on the weekend. I’ve already seen improvements on my sons disability, and what I truly loved that she did was told the other children about my sons situation and to play with him and encourage him to use his right arm to crawl. Aunty Pat said to me I really want to help your son develop and become the best version of himself. She is the last of a few angels in this world. I take her like family. Look if you want a childminder that will look after your child like her own, is personable, amazing, kind, motherly and develop and grow your child into a well mannered, educated being reaching his full potential look no further. You found her. Trust me don’t look no further please cause there’s nothing out there. She even speaks positivity over my sons health. She tells me he will be ok, and that means a lot for me because I’m so low over my sons health and disabilities.
Naomi has been the most wonderful childminder to our little boy. She had him for 18 months and he would have stayed with her longer but we moved out of the area. She is the most caring, creative, fun and diligent childminder and person. We really miss seeing you every day and of course our son does too. We cannot recommend Naomi enough, she goes above and beyond her job. The children are so lucky to be in her care.
Helen helped us for 10 weeks from when my daughter was a week old to 12 weeks. My husband and I could not have managed the initial phase without her. My surgery recovery was challenging as was my milk supply. Helen looked after our daughter with thought and care, and was super reassuring in how she handled the baby. She is experienced and has lots of tips and information, and helped us establish a feeding routine. She would always advise based on her experience but leave it to the mother's judgment, which I appreciated. We had a great experience and was very thankful for her presence in those early days.
I can’t recommend Emma enough. My daughter absolutely loves going to her and is always so excited when it’s time to go. She talks about Emma all the time even when she’s not there, which just shows how comfortable and happy she is in her care.
Emma has been so supportive and helpful, and I’ve seen such a big improvement in my daughter since she started attending. It’s really reassuring knowing she’s in such a caring and positive environment.
As a first time mum I was incredibly anxious about leaving my son and had previously tried a local nursery which I wasn’t happy with.
From the moment I met Sonia and visited her beautiful house I knew this was the type of environment I wanted my son to spend his days at. I love the home away from home environment and my son has thrived being under Sonia’s care. More language! More confidence! Happier overall!
Sonia is extremely knowledgable within the Early years and child care sector. She personalises all learning to each child.
Sonia will do all the things you may be nervous to do with your child - trips every week. Dylan has visited the zoo, nature reserves, museums and so much more! I much prefer this to him being stuck in one room every day in a nursery.
With Sonia you get the best of both a childminder and a nursery as she spends some time meeting with other childminders in the local area and creating a nursery style morning in a church hall and other times they’re out on trips and learning in other various ways.
I could go on FOREVER about how amazing she is and what she has done for my son in such a short amount of time we have known her.

I honestly can’t recommend Sam highly enough. She has been absolutely incredible with my son and has gone above and beyond in every possible way.
From day one, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after, and that really shows in everything she does.
She puts so much thought into activities, learning, and development, and I’ve seen such a positive change in my son’s confidence and happiness since being in her care. Communication has always been amazing too, which gives me total peace of mind.
I feel so lucky to have found someone so kind, reliable, and dedicated. Any parent would be lucky to have her and I couldn’t have asked for better childcare ❤️
Reenu was an absolutely fantastic babysitter for our family. She helped with school pick-ups and was always reliable and on time, which made a huge difference to our daily routine.
She’s such a warm, kind, and lovely person — the kids absolutely adored her and always looked forward to seeing her. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such safe and caring hands.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Reenu to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring babysitter. She’s been amazing for us!
Kerry is a fantastic childminder. I can’t recommend her enough. She looked after my twin boys from 9 months to 3+ years. Her home is a loving, caring environment and she remained professional throughout. Kerry takes the children to playgroups, parks, teaches them through play. She takes up any opportunity to keep up to date with new guidance and training. I always felt so reassured that my boys were in her care. Kerry was brilliant with adapting to a dairy intolerance that my boys had when they were babies, always ensuring that they had fresh, healthy, home cooked meals. My boys will miss her so much, as will I! Thank you so much Kerry and family for welcoming my boys into your home.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Steph to have looked after our 5 year old boy in the past 4 months when his carer had gone on maternity leave. Over the past months, she had provided such a warm, nurturing, and caring environment, treating the children as if they were her own. Steph prepared fresh, homemade meals, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our boy was being so well looked after. She is wonderfully creative and always planned engaging activities and we know the kids are very happy at her place. She is also exceptionally organised, and her communication with us was always clear, thoughtful, and reassuring. I always felt fully informed and confident that our boy was in the best hands.
Most importantly, Steph is a genuinely kind and lovely person, and it really shows in the way she cares for the children. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to any family looking for a dedicated, caring, and reliable childminder.
I cannot even begin to say how grateful me and my family are for having such an amazing person, professional and just all around person. Pily stared looking after my son for few hours since October last year, before I return to work and the progress he made also since he has been in her care for 3 times per well it’s impressive! He needs extra support to achieve he’s milestones, as he faced some challenges when he was born. Honestly I could not be more thankful and grateful that I made the perfect and correct choice for him. Pily loves children, she is very caring and makes them feel like they are all her family. We definitely feel like family now and the relationship created it could not have been better. They children all are very safe and very very well taking care off in all aspects, while in her care.
We appreciate her dedication and commitment to ensuring the children are thriving and happy at all times. Xx
Highly recommended Jen,both of my boys attend her setting and they just adore her 😍So patient and always feel that she treats my boys like her own ones.Always give us support if we need anything. I cannot recommend her enough and really greatfull that we meet her ❤️
My son has been with Lily for 6 months now. He absolutely loves visiting her and asks every morning if he can go. Lily encourages learning through play and provides continuous updates on their days outs and observations for learning and development. They enjoy trips to the library, local parks, seafront attractions and plenty of outdoor play. Lily has built a great relationship with my son in the short time he has known her through her caring nature - and the fact she provides snacks! I would highly recommend Lily, she goes above and beyond for the children she cares for and she is a key part of our support network when it comes to raising children.
