Tracey is simply the best ! My little boy started with her at 11 months old and stayed till 4 , he came on leaps and bounds with her and absolutely loves Tracey to pieces !!
He still sometimes goes to her in the school holidays and still constantly talks about her now .
Cannot recommendation enough literally goes above and beyond .
I have been absolutely thrilled with Rozina. She is reliable, warm, and incredibly attentive, and she has formed a wonderful bond with my baby. Her natural ability to engage, comfort, and encourage development has made such a positive difference in our home.
She’s proactive, patient, extremely helpful, and always maintains a calm environment. Communication with her is excellent—she keeps me updated throughout the day and always ensures I feel informed and at ease.
I trust her completely and genuinely appreciate the care, love, and professionalism she brings every day. She has become an invaluable part of our family’s routine, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
My daughter has been going to Tracey since she was 12 months old. She still goes in the holidays now even though she's started school and she absolutely loves going. Tracey is dependable, flexible and focuses on the children to meet their wants and needs. She takes the children on days out, has loads of activities for all different ages and offers a range of food for lunch and snacks. She keeps in contact with parents all the time, with pics and vids of progress of the day. Cannot recommend her enough ☺️

Our little girl started going to Tracey's just after her 1st birthday (5 years ago) and stayed with her full time, until she stated school (we didn't send her to the school nursery, as Tracey is that amazing!), and we're lucky she still has space for her in the school holidays (we're putting off moving for as long as we can, as we don't want to lose her!).
From the 1st time we took our daughter to visit Tracey, we knew we had found a wonderful childminder, as she went straight into her relaxed pose, which made us feel better. Her settling in sessions were great, although probably not needed as she didn't want to leave!
Tracey is always sending us updates with pictures and always making sure the children have a variety of activities each day, as well as taking them to playgroups, playgrounds and other child friendly places. For the older ones, she also helps them to learn to write their names and numbers.
Her home is set up fantastically, and has many treasures and fun activities available for the children. She always goes above and beyond. We cannot recommend her highly enough! We struck gold when we found Tracey!
There is a reason why it is so hard to get a space at Sophie Lucas childminding - she is highly skilled, caring and patient with the children. You can tell that Sophie gets genuine joy from looking after the children - her activities are always exciting, engaging and help the children learn such a variety of skills. My daughter absolute adores Sophie (you can see her screaming for her everyday on the school run even though she is now in Year R - we still use her service for after school clubs because my daughter would not cope without her in her life). The friendships that Sophie has helped to cultivate and grow for my daughter, with her own daughters and other children using her service, have been wonderful, kind and extremely rewarding for my child.
I wasn't much of a fan of childminding services before finding Sophie - I always felt nurseries were better but now I feel the complete opposite way around. I recommend her to every parent I meet who is looking for help and wouldn't send my child anywhere else.
My son has been looked after by Rahima for almost a year from age 1 - 2. He came from a bigger nursery environment and Rahima was very helpful and reassuring while he was settling in and getting used to the new environment. He loves going and always runs in happily, good communication with Rahima and a lovely clean home. We will be sad to leave when he goes off to his next place. Thanks 'Hima! :)

I can't recommend Laura highly enough. We are very confident leaving her in our house with our 12-year-old son. She is very friendly, calm, and down-to-earth. Communication is great, and Laura is always on time. My son is very comfortable in her company. Coupled with Laura's extensive CV, it makes for a relaxing evening away from home, knowing my son and my house are safe in her care.

Josie has become part of our family. It’s so comforting to see my children run in to Josie’s and want to play. I know my children are in safe hands and cared for. They are always doing activities and venturing outdoors, trying new things and learning new things. Thank you Josie.
Francess and Patricia are wonderful childminders, and we feel so lucky to have found them. They've been taking care of our son since September 2025 and he is so happy with them. They treat him like he's a member of their family. He settled in so easily and is always excited to see them and the other children in the mornings. I feel very secure in their care which makes leaving our little boy so much easier. We love them and more importantly, so does our son!
Eva has been a fantastic support to our family! She has been with us full time for a year and a half, taking care of our son since he had just turned 1 year and also helping us with his laundry, meal prep etc. Our son’s language and physical development is very advanced and I give her a lot of credit for that. She is really great at communicating with him, teaching him new words and showing him how to be kind, how to say please etc. I also have to mention how hardworking she is - she shows up on time even though she might be feeling under the weather or has been up all night with one of her kids. It’s been very much appreciated and we feel that our son is now more than ready for nursery.
I highly recommend Nicola. She is always punctual, respectful, and reliable. She takes great care of my 6-year-old, and he really enjoys spending time with her — especially the toys she brings to play together. She also makes sure to clean up after using anything in the kitchen, which I really appreciate. She always arrives on time in the mornings, and I know I can count on her whenever I need help. A truly trustworthy and caring person.
Cat went was amazing. Very professional and obviously very passionate. She made the time to meet twice before the job and the kids loved her. She pays attention to detail and sticks to the normal bedtime routines and thought of things that I didn’t even think of. Would highly recommend. Thanks Cat for giving me such peace of mind.
Very irresponsible disappointing .. not committed with her work .as I need to go on a important appointment so a day before. at first she committed and confirm me to come and then when everything is set she doesn’t turn back to me not answering call and messages. Not relaible ..!!

Sophia and Bella looked after my baby from 10 months old, and I could not have asked for a more nurturing, trustworthy, and loving childcare experience. I knew from my very first visit that they were the right fit for us — the children were being held, hugged, and comforted. It was clear that emotional care and connection were at the heart of everything they do.
They provide amazing, nutritious homemade meals and keep the children active with regular walks and park outings, which my little one always enjoyed. Their environment is joyful, calm, and full of fun activities that are captured with regular photo updates.
Communication was always great, I always knew how my child’s day had been, what he ate, what he enjoyed, and anything important that happened. That level of openness gave me so much peace of mind.
I’m incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication Sophia and Bella showed. They have been a wonderful part of my child’s early life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

My son Theo has been with Shilpi for almost two years, and he absolutely loved going to her setting. From the beginning, Shilpi was incredibly understanding and supportive during the settling-in period. She often sent me updates throughout the day, especially when I was feeling worried, which gave me so much peace of mind.
Shilpi is very caring, and it’s clear that the children truly love her. She always does her best to work with parents, making sure both the child and the family feel happy and comfortable. We are very grateful for everything she has done for Theo.
Highly recommended

We worked with Elena for two years, from 2023 to 2025. She started as an occasional babysitter and soon became our full-time nanny. Our son adored her like a grandmother and truly enjoyed every moment they spent together.
They spent plenty of time outdoors, exploring different activities, and also did a lot of learning and creative play at home. Our son’s speech developed remarkably well during this time, and we believe Elena played an important role in that progress.
We would be delighted to see Elena again - our son keeps asking when she will come back.

We are so grateful for all the love, care, and guidance you both have given our daughter over the years. You’ve played such an important role in helping her grow, learn, and become the little person she is today, and we will always treasure the memories she’s made with you. We will miss you very much, and we know our daughter will carry so much of what she’s learned from you into this new chapter at school. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
Our experience with you as our daughters childminder has been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, you created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where our daughter felt completely comfortable and loved. Your patience, kindness, and thoughtful approach to childcare truly set you apart.
You always went above and beyond—planning engaging activities, encouraging her development, and keeping us updated with messages and photos that brightened our day. It has been so reassuring knowing she was in such caring hands.
We have seen our daughter grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity thanks to your support. You’ve helped shape her early years in such a positive and meaningful way, and for that, we are forever grateful.
We can’t recommend you highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have you.
