Fatima has been child minder for 4 years
She always has fed my children very well and my son also has special needs. And she understands him very well and meets his need. 100% recommend as she gives me a peice of my mind when I am working knowing they are in good hands. Very kind friends and caring
Nothing but praise for Saffron. We are so pleased with our daughter's care. Our daughter absolutely loves going to her! Thank you Saffron!

Cris and her husband Reza have been looking after my daughter for almost 3 years now. Mia started when she was 11 month old and settled so easily. There was no single day when she didn’t want to go to Cris’s childcare.
Cris and Reza are a family to us now. They have offered us an overnight support which is an amazing benefit that you cannot find in all places! So as a parents we even had a chance to go for a date night or travel for a couple of days together.
Cris and Reza are focusing on Montessori approach and go to parks, libraries, museums etc so children are never bored and they learn quickly. They don’t watch cartoons with them (I saw a couple of childminders who played cocomelon during breakfast). Mia knows letters and can almost read in her 3.5 years.
I can write a long story how successful we have been with Cris and Reza! Thank you very much for your time and dedication, you do amazing things in this life!

Connie worked as our after school nanny for nearly three years. She looked after my two boys (now 10 and 8) - collected them from school, gave them dinner, helped them with homework and took them to after school clubs. She also developed a strong a nurturing relationship with both boys - playing board games with my youngest, helping to teach my eldest skills around the house like salad preparation to help him develop maturity and resilience. She has a firm and very kind and fair approach to discipline which worked well with my boys. She has moved on to start a family of her own but I would highly recommend her.

Our daughter has joined Mahnoor’s setting and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. Mahnoor has been absolutely incredible with my daughter, creating a warm and safe environment making her feel at home.
It is has been a joy to see my daughters grow to in confidence and happiness in such a short period of time. The days were always filled with creative activities, outdoor play, adventurous trips and learning opportunities all meticulously chosen by Mahnoor to help my child grow.
I am also very impressed with the standard of food given that I always try and replicate but my daughter always raves on about the meals Mahnoor prepares. 😂
What really stood out was the genuine care and attention Mahnoor gives to each child. She took the time to get to know my daughter interests, and always communicated openly with me as a parent, which gives me complete peace of mind.
I’m utterly grateful for the love, patience, and kindness she’s shown. My daughter absolutely adores her time there and talks about it all the time with a big smile and is excited to go back everyday. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for the very best childcare.
Our 13-month old daughter has been with Bianca since the start of January and sadly we are leaving soon due to relocation but Bianca and the other girls in her care have been wonderful. This was our daughter's first time in a childcare setting which wasn't with family so it was an adjustment for her but Bianca is so experienced and calm that we felt confident in her care from the start.
Bianca's setting is active and varied - she is often out and about with the children at different playgroups and parks but she also adapts her schedule to the type of activity that any new children enjoy. Our daughter, for example, is a little quieter and loves exploring and playing at home which Bianca also embraced.
Bianca shares her home with the children seamlessly and we love that our daughter has had her own travel cot and dark room for her naps and that Bianca happily uses the sleepsack, comforter and white noise that she's familiar with at home. Some of the children Bianca cares for have been with her for years (she now picks them up from school!) and look at her as their 'home from home', which is really special.

Samira has been an absolute blessing for our family. My son has had a tough time with separation anxiety, and it’s never easy leaving him – but knowing he’s with someone as caring, patient and gentle as Samira has made all the difference. She understands his needs so well and takes the time to reassure both him and me, always keeping me informed with updates that bring such comfort. Her home is beautifully set up, full of fun and engaging activities that my son genuinely enjoys. You can tell she puts her heart into what she does. Thank you, Samira, from the bottom of my heart – your kindness, flexibility and dedication mean the world to us.
We are so grateful for the care and love our son has received from Faye over the past two years. From the very start, we felt like he was in a second home. She has always made him feel safe and supported. It’s clear that she genuinely cares for him like her own.
What stands out most is how easy she has been to communicate with. She is always available to discuss any concerns or updates, and we've always felt listened to and understood. Her warmth and kindness are evident in everything she does, and she goes above and beyond to ensure our son is happy and well cared for.
We could not have asked for a better childminder. We leave our son in her care with complete peace of mind, knowing he is in such capable, loving hands. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our family!
Nadshappyfaces is really an happy, cozy and existing place for my boys. She is a woman with a gentle smile and very welcoming. My boys are eager to face the new week knowing my nanny is coming for me and eager to see her. The boys are running towards her with excitement and joy.
The setting of her Creech is bright and clean, with toys neatly arranged and a nurturing atmosphere. Her love and strong bond between the boys is so beautiful.
After taking our little girl out of nursery due to concerns around allergies, we cannot fault the care that Gemma gives. Our little girl absolutely loves going to Gemma’s house. She always comes home happy, and with lots of lovely drawings and creations. I know she’s in good hands, and we couldn’t be happier.
My little one started with Kasha from 9 months old and she settled so well with Kasha. She enjoyed playing with the kids at Kasha’s and she was always very well looked after. We received notes and photos on a daily basis and really enjoyed seeing little crafts work my little one brought home. Kasha’s setting is very good and well managed, and she’s very caring and passionate. My little one always ate well and has been to fun places like zoos, farms and parks regularly. We highly recommend Kasha.
Shilpi has been with my little one since he was 1 and now it 2.5 years old. He has grown to adore her and her home. She has lots of toys for different ages and goes out with them to the park, soft play, and small journeys. He’s made lots of friends and it’s been amazing to watch his personality develop, he’s quite confident. The main thing I know about my son is that he will not sleep if he’s not comfortable, he would have a sleep, he will eat all his food and plays. Shilpi updates me in the day which I love, and if there are any events like Mother’s Day my little boy will come with a picture

Gina has been with us for more than 2 years. We have appreciated her so much. She is reliable, punctual, kindhearted and professional. When Gina is with the kids, I don’t worry about the children in the slightest. Gina as you relocate we wish you all the very best. Sending much love

Danielle is absolutely amazing with my 18 month old daughter. I was very nervous to leave my little one with someone I didn't know as I hadn't done this before and Danielle did everything possible to make sure I felt comfortable. I visited her property before I left my daughter with her. She has plenty of toys and activities for the children and the place is very clean. Danielle sends me videos and pictures of how my little girl is doing and she's always smiley when she's there. Danielle always informs me if anything is wrong, what she's been upto and how my little girl is doing. She's also very affordable too. I'd recommend Danielle 100 prevent.
Tay has been our nanny for a little over two years. She started with our family when my youngest boy was nine months old and her responsibilities are to care for him and she is also responsible for the school run for my eldest boys. She works for me 3 days a week.
My three boys adore Tay, they are so excited to see her in the morning and my school age children really look forward to the days that they get to spend with her during school holidays.
Tay is always punctual, professional and loving to the children. She always takes the time and effort to consider the needs of all three of my boys and ensures any activities or outings appeal to each of them. Tay is always extremely flexible and is always happy to adapt her working day or stay a few extra hours if needed. She’s also happy to jump in and help with anything required from school such as fayres or fancy dress. Tay is prompt responding to messages and sends pictures throughout the day of my now three-year-old and all his adventures.
Any family would be lucky to have Tay join them. I couldn’t have done the last few years without her and I trust her completely. (She also always leaves the house tidier than she found it which I am infinitely grateful for).

Sophia and her team are brilliant. From the first moment we met them and saw the setting, we were so impressed by the calm, happy children in their care. Our son went to them four days a week from 10 months old until he was 3, and he has honestly had the best start as a result. They are kind, compassionate, fun, creative and really know how to get the best out of the children in their care. As first-time parents, leaving your baby with someone for the first time is daunting, but Sophia and Bella made it an easy, even enjoyable process. We miss them and talk about them often. They've had a wonderful impact on our all our lives. Couldn't recommend more.
Mandy is fantastic and I couldn’t juggle life without her!!! My little boy(now 4 yrs) has attended Mandy’s childcare setting for the last year and a half. As soon as I met Mandy I knew it was the right fit for us. Mandy is so caring, kind and nurturing. My little boy loves her. In her care, I’ve seen him develop and grow into an amazing little person almost ready for starting school. Mandy plans and organises lots of fun activities, catering individually to his developmental needs always. She knows when he needs to be challenged and recognises when he just needs some ‘jack’ down time. Mandy is a great support, not only for Jack but for me too. Always there for advice or just a listening ear. Jack loves spending time with and forming friendships with the other little children in Mandy’s care during the day but also loves having the opportunity to mix with the big boys and girls who come before and after school too. I have another child(6 yrs) who also attends Mandy’s in the mornings before school drop off at St Wilfred’s. When he wakes daily one of the 1st things he asks me is ‘is it a Mandy day?’ He loves starting the day there which is a real testament in itself. As I drop the boys off at Mandy’s before heading to work, I’ve often found myself feeling a bit envious and wishing i was on a Mandy day too!!! I can’t recommend Mandy enough to anyone thinking about using a childminder.
