Really happy with Fizz and glad I found her
I had her for a week looking after my 10 month old baby boy and doing the morning run/nursery drop off.
She did amazing he does have separation anxiety like most babies but Fizz still managed very well and got smiles out of him I also received lots of updates while at work which im very grateful for :)
I would 100% use her again without any hesitation she really made my life much easier.
Thank you again Fizz xx

I honestly cannot recommend Mrs Eunice and Uncle Sam highly enough. ❤️
From the moment our son started with them, we knew he was in such caring and loving hands. They didn’t just look after him; they genuinely cared for him as though he was one of their own, and as parents, that meant absolutely everything to us.
During his time with them, we watched him grow, develop and truly blossom. His confidence, communication, independence and overall development came on so much, and we know that the nurturing, stimulating and loving environment they created played such a huge part in that. They took the time to understand him as an individual, encouraged him, celebrated his achievements and helped him learn and develop through so many different experiences.
What makes Miss Eunice and Uncle Sam so special is that their childcare provision feels like so much more than childcare. They create a real home-from-home environment where children feel safe, happy, valued and loved. There is such a wonderful balance between learning, play, routine, encouragement and affection, and you can see how genuinely invested they are in every child in their care.
As a parent, leaving your child in someone else’s care is such a big thing, but we always had complete peace of mind knowing that he was with them. He was always so happy and comfortable there, and the relationship and bond he built with them was beautiful to see.
We will always be incredibly grateful for everything Miss Eunice and Uncle Sam have done for our son and for the wonderful start they gave him. They have played such a special part in his early years, and they will always hold a special place in our family’s hearts.
Any family would be extremely fortunate to have their child cared for by them. Thank you both for loving, nurturing and caring for our little boy so wonderfully. We couldn’t have asked for better childminders. ❤️

My children have been coming to Emma for many years now, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. They always feel safe, happy and so well cared for in her setting. It truly feels like a home-from-home environment.
My girls absolutely love going and never want to leave! When they know they’re going in the morning, they’re up bright and early because they’re so excited to get there and have that extra time with Emma and to play before school.
Emma is such a caring and kind person. She is excellent at setting clear boundaries while still making the children feel loved, comfortable and supported. She always goes above and beyond for the children, even making sure she has snacks in for them.
I’m so grateful to have found Emma and to know that my girls are in such a safe, caring and nurturing environment.
Our son started with Deborah when he was just four months old. At the time, we urgently needed childcare as I was returning to work, but we weren't quite comfortable sending such a young baby to a nursery. Our original plan was to find a good local childminder and start researching nurseries once he was a little older.
Our son is now nearly two, and we have no intention of moving him from Deborah! And here is why:
1. Our son absolutely adores her. He genuinely looks forward to going to her place and gets on wonderfully with the other children.
2. She provides an incredible variety of activities and outings. The children are regularly out and about visiting different stay-and-play groups, parks, zoos, museums, splash pads in the summer, and so much more.
3. When they aren't out exploring, she keeps them busy with hands-on activities at home, such as painting, arts and crafts, and other creative play.
4. She puts a lot of effort into their development through reading, singing, teaching new words and sign language.
5. She is also excellent at setting boundaries and teaching the children good behaviour in a positive and consistent way.
6. She keeps us updated with photos and videos daily.
What we particularly love is the balance she provides. Our son benefits from being cared for in a small, familiar group where he receives plenty of individual attention, while also having regular opportunities to socialise with a much wider circle of children through stay-and-play sessions and other outings. To us, this really is the best of both worlds.
Above all, Deborah is such a lively, warm and caring person. You can genuinely see the affection is mutual between her and the children.
We feel fortunate to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a loving, stimulating and nurturing environment for their little one.
I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for my daughter. Hanane and her team have taken such wonderful care of her, and I’m so grateful for everything they have done.
My daughter has always enjoyed going to Hanane’s and has learned so much during her time there. Hanane has taught her so much more than just educational activities. She has helped her become more independent, confident and engaged. My daughter has learned to listen, eat by herself, wipe and clean up after herself, and do so many little things independently that have made such a difference.
What makes me happiest is hearing my daughter come home excited to tell me about her day, whether she has been dancing, going to the park, playing with sand or enjoying different activities. It is such a lovely feeling knowing that your child is somewhere she feels happy, comfortable and well cared for.
If we weren’t moving further away, we would absolutely not be leaving Hanane. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone they can trust to care for their child.
Thank you so much, Hanane and the whole team, for taking such good care of my daughter and for everything you have taught her. She has had the best time with you, and we will truly miss you all. ❤️
Although our paths have taken us in different directions, I will always be grateful to you for so many things. From the very beginning, you encouraged our son to enjoy reading books together, and you played such an important part in his speech development, learning to count, recognising colours, and learning how to play and interact as part of a group. He met his very first friends while he was with you.
Even potty training of our son - that’s one of your achievements too.
We will never forget how much you have done for us and for him and how much you have contributed to his early years. You have been there for so many of his little milestones, and those are things we will always remember.
You will always have a special place in his photo album, but I hope that one day, when he is older and looks back at the photos and memories from his childhood, he will know who you were and how much you cared for him.
You are, and always will be, an important part of his story. You helped shape some of his very first years, and no matter where life takes us, that can never be taken away.
Thank you for everything you have done for him, for us, and for all the memories. We will always carry a little piece of you with us ❤️
My 3 y/o son recently joined the Hideout. Since joining he continues to be excited; awaiting Paige's & Zack's warm welcome. As soon as he walks in he's ready to get in and play. Paige sends me up dates throughout the day so I know and can see how he's getting on. I love Paiges enthusiasm for the space, my son and his development especially as he has global delays. Strongly recommend the Hideout as its an intimate space that can provide intimate support for our little ones navigating their developmental needs and transitions.

Paige has looked after my 18month old and 4 year old both during the daytime and in the evenings on many occasions. She is the first person that my 4 year old was happy to be left with which says a lot! She is so lovely - very patient with the kids, fun and engaging.
They both really enjoy their time with Paige in fact my son can't wait for her to arrive each time.
I would absolutely recommend Paige as both a babysitter and a nanny.
My daughter has been with Sarah for almost two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives.
Sarah provides such a nurturing, friendly and welcoming home environment where my daughter is always happy, settled and loved.
As a parent, knowing that your child is safe, happy and genuinely cared for is everything, and Sarah gives us that peace of mind every single day. I drop my daughter off each morning knowing she is going to be well looked after, surrounded by warmth, kindness and love.
We are so grateful to have found Sarah and feel incredibly lucky that my little girl has had such a wonderful person to care for her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy and loving childminder.
I’m incredibly grateful to Georgia for the amazing care and support she has given my son, Sel. Sel has oral aversion and has always struggled with solid foods, so I used to go to work worried about him not having his liquid foods.
Georgia has been so patient and understanding, preparing food in a way Sel likes and gently encouraging him to eat little by little, without pressure. Seeing him manage a few bites has been a huge achievement and means so much to us.
Knowing Sel is with Georgia gives me peace of mind while I’m at work.
The joy on Sel’s face when I come to pick him up says everything. Seeing him so happy is such a relief and reassures me that he has had a wonderful day, feels safe and has been well cared for.
Thank you so much, Georgia, for your patience, kindness, understanding and genuine care for Sel. You have made such a positive difference to his feeding journey and to my peace of mind as a mother. We truly appreciate you and your team❤️
Finding the right childminder for your baby is one of the hardest decisions a parent has to make, but choosing Geri was hands down the best decision we ever made for our family.
Our son started going to Geri when he was just 8 months old and remained in her wonderful care until he turned 3. From day one, she created a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where he could thrive. She has always approached everything with great understanding and empathy for both the children and the parents, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring.
Communication with her is absolute perfection. She regularly keeps parents updated with photos, videos, and detailed insights into how the children are spending their days and hitting their developmental milestones. It is such a joy to see their progress in real-time!
One of the things we love most is how much quality time she spends outdoors with the children. She knows the most amazing outdoor spots where kids can safely run, explore, and play freely. From local parks, beautiful gardens, and zoos to fun picnics and even wonderful trips to the beach, she gives the children unforgettable hands-on experiences every single day.
Geri doesn't just look after children; she genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were her own. Leaving our son with her gave us complete peace of mind. We are endlessly grateful for everything she has done for our boy and could not recommend her more highly to any parent looking for exceptional early years care!
Harriet has been part of our family’s life for a long time and has been incredibly reliable and wonderful with our daughter. Our daughter absolutely loves her, and they have developed such a lovely relationship. As a parent, I can honestly say that Harriet is the one person outside our immediate family whom I can trust with our child. She is thoughtful and always willing to accommodate our family’s needs wherever she can. Having her support has made a real difference to our family life. I would wholeheartedly recommend Harriet to any family looking for someone reliable, caring and excellent with children.

I’m so happy with the care my little one receives here. He absolutely loves going and is always so happy and settled when I drop him off and pick him up. The environment is warm, fun and nurturing, with lots to keep him engaged throughout the day. The meals provided are a lovely bonus, and most importantly, I have complete peace of mind knowing that he is safe, well cared for and in a happy environment. It’s so reassuring to know he is genuinely enjoying his time here, and I would highly recommend this childminder to other parents.

My son was at Marta’s setting for only a few months, but during that time she provided wonderful care and always added a personal touch whenever needed.
She took great care of his development, providing a wide range of engaging activities and giving him plenty of individual attention. At the end of the year, she also provided us with a detailed report outlining his progress and milestones, which we really appreciated.
Marta and her team even made a special effort to celebrate my son’s first birthday at the setting, which was such a lovely and memorable gesture.
It’s a real shame that we had to move to a different location, as we would have happily continued with Marta. We are very grateful for the care, support and positive experience she provided for our son.
I am very happy to provide a reference for Mandy, who cared for my son Kairo for approximately a year and a half.
During the time Kairo was with Mandy, she played a very important role in his development and helped him grow in confidence and independence. She supported him with his communication skills, sharing and social skills, learning and development, as well as his fine motor skills. She was always patient, caring and encouraging, and she made learning enjoyable for him.
Mandy also played a huge part in preparing Kairo for starting preschool. She helped him develop the confidence, communication, social and practical skills he needed to take that next step, and I genuinely believe that the time he spent with her helped him become ready for preschool.
What made Mandy particularly special was the way she welcomed Kairo into her family. He was never made to feel like just another child in her care; she treated him as one of her own. Kairo was loved not only by Mandy but by her whole family, and it was clear how much they all cared about him. He built such a strong bond with them that he still asks to spend time with Mandy and her family.
Mandy has also gone above and beyond to support me as a parent. On occasions when she had holidays or time off herself, she still made an effort to help me where she could, particularly when I needed childcare. Even now, she continues to be very helpful by caring for Kairo during school holidays and when his preschool is closed. This has been an enormous help to me and is something I truly appreciate.
I have always felt completely comfortable and reassured knowing that Kairo was in Mandy’s care. She is trustworthy, reliable, caring and genuinely invested in the children she looks after. She has always put Kairo’s wellbeing, happiness and development first.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mandy as a childminder. She has made a lasting and very positive impact on Kairo, and I am extremely grateful for all the love, care, patience and support she has given him over the past year and a half.
I am very happy to recommend Mandy and believe she would be an excellent childminder for any family looking for someone who genuinely cares about the children in her care.
We are very happy with our childminder. We actually visited plenty of different places before making our decision, and her setting stood out to us straight away. It was by far the cleanest and best-designed environment we visited for babies.
She is always attentive, caring, friendly and supportive, and genuinely takes the time to understand and respond to our child’s needs. We especially love that there is a separate room for sleeping, a large garden and lots of toys and activities for the children to enjoy.
The environment is clean, safe, welcoming and very well organised, which gives us great peace of mind. We really appreciate all the care and attention she gives our little one and would highly recommend her to other parents
Georgeta
We’ve had such a great experience with our babysitter. She is trustworthy, thoughtful and incredibly playful with the children. She’s looked after my kids twice now, and they’ve been really happy and comfortable with her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. We’ll definitely be booking her again and would highly recommend her to other families!
My first time actually engaging someone from this site I was nervous, but my 2yo girl was immediately comfortable with Emma. She drove over and sat late for our first date night in a while (on pretty short notice). Took really good care of our little girl and kept us updated! I didn’t even realize I’d been holding my breath, but then she sent me a baby monitor pic just to let me know DJ was sleeping and I immediately felt so much more relaxed.
Thank you Emma!

We feel so lucky to have found Anna. As first-time parents, leaving our daughter for the first time was a huge step for us, and naturally we had lots of worries and questions. From the very beginning, Anna made us feel completely reassured and supported. She took the time to get to know our daughter, understand her needs and help her settle in at her own pace, which made such a difference to us.
What means the most to us is knowing that our daughter is not only being looked after, but is genuinely loved, understood and encouraged while she is there. Anna puts so much care into everything she does and has created such a lovely environment where our daughter can grow, learn, have fun and simply be herself.
We have really valued having someone we can trust completely. Anna has always been so reassuring, positive and approachable, and has given us confidence throughout what has been such a big new chapter for us. She makes us feel comfortable asking questions and sharing any little worries, and we always know that our daughter is in safe, caring and capable hands. That peace of mind is something we honestly couldn’t put a price on.
Since starting with Anna, we have watched our daughter come on leaps and bounds. Her development, confidence and independence have grown so much, and it makes us incredibly proud to see. She absolutely loves going, and seeing her excitement when she knows she is going to Anna’s means the world to us. Knowing she is happy, settled and enjoying herself with friends makes leaving her so much easier.
Anna has become such an important part of our daughter’s early years, and we are so grateful for the love, patience and encouragement she gives her every day. We have complete trust in her and genuinely feel that we couldn’t have chosen a better person to care for our little girl.
We have every faith in Anna and couldn’t imagine our daughter being anywhere else. We would wholeheartedly recommend Anna to any family, especially other first-time parents who may have those same worries we had — she has given us the reassurance, trust and peace of mind that every parent hopes to have.
