Layla

Layla, Emma and Annie are excellent childminders

My two children (2 and 10 months) attend this amazing setting.
They absolutely love going to Layla's, my two year old claps and shouts yaaay as we arrive. They also cry when I pick them up to go home as they have had soooo much fun.
Layla, Emma and Annie are lovely and they really do care about the children. They prepare and cook fresh meals every day and I love that we, as parents are updated on everything they have eaten throughout the day. Both my children have milk intolerances and they cater for this, which really puts my mind at ease.
I am sent photos and updates through out the day of my children and what they are doing which I think is fantastic as I then feel that I'm not missing out on them, even though I am at work.
They have a massive back garden for the children to play in, I would even say it's better than a park, the children love it.
I couldn't recommend this setting enough. Best childminders and an amazing setting. Thankyou for everything you do for my children.

A home from home!

We couldn’t be happier with Layla’s setting. Layla, Emma and Annie are incredibly welcoming and warm and we feel so lucky to have found them for our 20 month old twin girls.
Always quick to send photos and communication has been easy, making us feel so reassured! The girls seem to eat like horses and we love to hear about the different meals that they’re eating.
Layla’s home also has the largest most perfect garden we’ve ever seen and arguably better than most of the local parks.

Excellent team, and wonderful setting.

My daughter has only been with Layla and her team for a short time, however they have been fantastic.
They made my daughter feel very welcome, and she settled in to a routine very easily with them. They offer a wide range of activities which my daughter has enjoyed.
The setting is wonderful, very spacious and allows the children to engage with a variety of different activities due to the amount of space available.
The setting is also well maintained, clean and very welcoming.
Layla and her team are fantastic and can not fault.

Outstanding setting

Layla (Emma and Annie) are an outstanding team of childminders.
My son started with them in Sept 2019, when he started at primary school. Since day one they have been so reassuring and loving toward my son and us as parents. They genuinely care for all their children.
Everything is so well organised and thought through. My son cannot wait to return when the world is in a more normal state.
I could not recommend them more highly, I’m very glad we found them, and our son will have the pleasure of being with them for the next 6 years.

Outstanding and caring childminders

My 2 year twin boys started with Layla 3 months ago and I am so happy we found them. They are so caring and passionate about children and you can feel the warmth and love they have as soon as you walk in. The house is immaculate and the grounds are incredible and back onto allotments so the children are growing and picking fruit and vegetables

Layla works with her daughter Emma and they are a great childminding team. There is lots of structure to the day with a variety of activities but they also have lots of time for free play. I also like the fact that often they will stay at home and play in the garden or do activities indoors rather than being rushed out all the time, but there are also plenty of educational and fun outings, so far they have been to the seaside, Knole park, Kent life Beaver World and various other locations.

Layla provides delicious home cooked and nutritional food and snacks throughout the day which the boys love.

Would highly recommend.

Brilliant childminders!

We have had our 2.5 year old daughter, Chloe with Layla, and her daughter Emma for the last six months - they have been brilliant. Chloe has loved going there, and misses them already. We have had to move her elsewhere due to a change in our job pattern, and were very sad to leave. They cook excellent nutritious food for the kids, with a good veggie option always available, and ensured the kids are out daily at various activities. We recommend them wholeheartedly.

Layla and Emma are amazing! My daughter is like on

We decided to take our daughter out of her nursery and find a childminder as we wanted her to be taken out and about each day. We were slightly nervous about making this move be Layla and Emma have been fantastic since day one. They have had our daughter for 6 the last months (she is now 20 months old) and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

They are a perfect mother daughter combo. Layla makes home cooked meals for the children everyday which our daughter can't get enough of and Emma co-oridinates the daily activities. Layla's house is beautiful, spacious and well organised it has plenty of room for the our daughter to explore. Layla's garden is perfect for children of all ages with plenty of toys and games to keep them occupied.

Layla and Emma take the children out every day to various activities including play group, soft play, play dates with other childminders, the garden centre just to give you few examples. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Layla and Emma as we feel they cater perfectly for Delilah's needs and communicate very effectively with us as parents. Emma will send us pictures of Delilah throughout the day which we love, as its great to know she is having a fantastic time.

Emma also spends lots of one of one time with each of her children developing their specific learning goals. We feel this is great as it is getting Delilah prepared for pre-reception.We can see Delilah's communication and understanding has has massively developed and improved since starting with Emma and Layla. We would advise any parent who is unsure weather to pick a nursery or childminder to opt for a childminder.

We couldn't be happier with the service Emma and Layla provide.

very caring Child Minder

I highly recommend Layla, she is a good cook and really cares about kids, I feel lucky that we found her for our son! We are less worried about our son in the day time as we know he is in good hands.

Layla also does real time updates in the day time so we know how is the little one, I can feel our son is happier with Layla.

Also, Layla had a huge back garden and countless toys! Children love her place!
