We recently enrolled our child in a AmysDen and we are incredibly pleased with the experience we had. From the games to the individual attention, this nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way.
Firstly, the nursery provided a wide range of games that were not only entertaining but also educational. Our child loved participating in these activities, which helped develop their cognitive and social skills. It was clear that the staff put a lot of thought into planning engaging games for the children.
AmysDen also stood out in its readiness to accommodate our child's sleeping schedule. They were flexible and open to customizing nap times, ensuring that our child had the rest they needed. This level of personalized care was truly impressive.
Furthermore, Noemie offered a variety of interesting activities for the children throughout the day. From arts and crafts to outdoor play, our child was constantly engaged and excited about what lay ahead. The well-rounded nature of these activities contributed to our child's holistic development.
Our child absolutely loved attending this place. AmysDen formed positive relationships with both the caregivers and fellow children, creating a nurturing and friendly environment for them to thrive. Seeing our child eager and happy to go there every day reassured us that we made the right choice.
Overall, we highly recommend this childminder. It has been a haven of care, learning, and fun for our child. Noemie and her staff's dedication, attention to individual needs, and the abundance of exciting activities truly make this place stand out. If you are looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for your child, this is the place to go.

Just WOW! Noemi is just so impressive. My daughter attended for just over a year I’m so glad I went for her. She is so professional, knowledgeable of both her legal responsibilities and the job itself and I instantly noticed her caring, nurturing approach towards my daughter. I trusted her immediately and she put me at ease straightaway. My daughter loved being with her and importantly, was happy there. She closely follows the early years framework and noticed how much my daughter was learning and developing there. They do so many different activities everyday and she’s so good at making learning fun and accessible to all the children. Noemi cooks fresh, healthy food every day which my daughter loved to eat (more than my cooking even I think!) and provides healthy snacks throughout the day. My daughter loved to play with the other children too, including Noemi’s daughter, Amy. There is also a large garden at the back as well as a well equipped playroom. She’s very friendly, supportive and has an outstanding awareness of how children develop and learn. She also provides a daily diary of what my daughter has eaten and done. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her. My daughter is in year 1 now and still remembers and misses Amy’s Den! I’m a secondary teacher myself and have an equal awareness of how children should be supported to develop, as well as instinctively high standards of what I would expect for my own child. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amy’s Den was awarded outstanding in their next inspection.

My daughter has been attending Amy's Den for the last two years. Noemi has created a really good environment, which is both homely and full of interesting activities. In the two years Noemi has come up with a new theme and accompanying activities and learning every week. My daughter loves going and has made lots of friends who she enjoys playing with. The staff are friendly and caring. Noemi has been particularly supportive with the transition to potty training, to make the process as easy as it can be.

My daughter was just over two when she started going to Amy’s Den and she has settled in so well. The team are so welcoming and friendly and are fantastic at caring, developing, and playing with the children. Noemi genuinely cares about the children and has an amazing gift in her ability to engage and nurture them. I have noticed so many improvements in the way my daughter plays with other children and how she uses her imagination to play by herself. She often talks about Amy’s den at the weekends and pretends she is taking her baby doll there in the pram 😊. Her development in talking, counting, colours and other things has improved dramatically. I have sent my children to other large nurseries in the past and this place is far better. My daughter gets more one to one attention and care. I think the consistency of the childminders and children and the activities they do together really comforts her. I would (and have) recommended Amy’s den to anyone looking for childcare.

Noemi and her team are wonderful. My daughter started going there when she was 9 months old, and she was greeted every day with lots of love and affection.
Today my daughter is 2.5 years and she loves going to AmysDen every morning, there are lots of different activities every week (according to the EYFS guidelines) , she enjoys playing with all the other children. I love the fact that she gets home cooked meals every day and that Noemi keeps us updated with the app, sending us pictures and reports every day.
Noemi and the team work closely with the kids, and they care so much about the kids.

My son started at AmysDen when he was nearly 3 and after being isolated through covid I wanted to find a nurturing, home away from home that would give him a loving environment with the opportunity to learn new skills and socialise. Amysden gave him all of that and more. Noemi and her team are just the best they go above and beyond to make everyday fun and exciting while learning through play. The reports and updates they provide daily through pictures and online system meant I got to see what my son was doing everyday and his confidence just grew and grew. When he started at pre school he walked in and settled straight away and was able to adapted immediately and I believe a lot of that was down to the confidence AmysDen had given him.
My daughter turned 1 in February and I had no hesitation starting her at Amysden. As always Neomi got her settled quickly and even after only a few months I could see how much more she had developed physical and mentally.
It’s clear to say I would have no hesitation in recommending AmysDen to anyone in the area looking for a wonderful childminder.

Noemi and her team at Amy's Den are a very welcoming, loving and creative "family" of professionals who make our two boys feel very safe, at home and looked after. We are always comforted in the knowledge that they are well cared for and inspired with different activities week-to-week, have the comfort of a home-from-home and a lovely garden to play in. The setting and the learning journey are great and I would highly recommend this convenient and cost-effective child care option as either a primary solution for working parents or in compliment to other nursery or day-care, as is the case for our kids.

AmysDen has been taking care of my little man for more than a year now. I am happy to say, he is very happy with the time he spends with everyone. Likewise as parent I have witnessed amazing changes with my son, he has learned how to converse faster, express his emotions and interact with a wide variety of personalities. I really am pleased and happy with the service we receive. Kudos to all that are part of the AmysDen team!!!

We discovered Noemi and her team last August and they were a saving grace, completely reliable, enthusiastic and genuine.
Noemi couldn't do enough to accommodate our son and his needs and he felt completely loved in her care.
The premises has a diverse range of toys, ample space and there is a really calm but playful vibe in the setting.
Anyone would be lucky to get a place at Amy's Den and we are grateful for all Neomi and her team have done and we were always kept fully updated with what our son had done in the setting.
With much appreciation.

Our 3 years old daughter has been at Amy’s Den for over a year now and she is really enjoying it. She is excited to go to Noemi’s house in the morning, proud to show us her artwork every day and often talks about her lovely friends she is playing with during the day.
Noemi is such a caring, kind and professional childminder. Our daughter adores her and her staff.
Noemi’s knowledge regarding child development stages is excellent, which is very reassuring as we know our daughter is in fantastic hand and will be very well prepared before she goes to school in a year time. We receive regular observations on our daughter’s development, so we are kept up to date and we know when we need to work at home on a specific area.
The Famly app that Noemi and her team are using to communicate with the parents is such a fantastic tool. We receive daily updates about the activities the children have done during the day (which are based on the theme of the week), including comments and pictures. The activities are always very creative.
Noemi makes sure to take the children out to get some fresh air and exercise either to the park or to her garden if the weather allows it.
The children are given freshly prepared meals every day which Lily enjoys very much, even our son, who was being taken care by Noemi for after school care for more than a year, still talks about Noemi’s food!
I very much recommend Noemi to anyone looking for a childminder!

Noemi and her staff are wonderful. My daughter who has been here for almost 1 year now has learnt so much and also really enjoys everyday she spends here. There is a theme every week and a learning structure. It’s like a home from home and my daughter is very happy! She has even learnt Spanish and is teaching me now!! I will not move my daughter until she goes to school as I am confident I can not find a better place for her to develop than here! I am extremely thankful that I can work and know that my daughter is happy and safe.!! Also my daughter has freshly prepared meals where she gets to try all different food that she might not try at home. She loves the food and also feels very comfortable.

I am very happy to find Amy's Den as been a single mum and working make things really difficult. Amy's Den always try to be flexible to arrange extra childcare services or any support that I need.

Noemi definitely loves working with children, and my 9 yo daughter always have good time when she is there.
My daughter spent almost full days for sometime this summer at Amys Den, and Noemi seemed to be always organizing fun activities for children, ranging from cooking, decorating cakes, to visiting butterfly parks and swimming pools.
Noemi is also a good educator, who is very patient, fun and loving. Having moved from overseas, my daughter is still learning English, and Noemi has been very good with my daughter and has been spending time teaching her in fun activities.
Noemi always makes sure that she updates me with the day they spent, and sends me some photos at the end of the day. She has been very very flexible and supportive towards my working schedule, and also fed my daughter very well. My daughter is a fussy eater, and does not eat too much junk, but she always loved the food served at Amys Den. I even wish I had a chance to be fed there!
I see lots of smiling faces doing fun activities on the photos I have been receiving and they actually me smile too. I am so very happy to have found a place like Amys Den!

When I searched for a childminder a year ago and met Noemi I've already knew during the inerview, that I've found the perfect one for my children.
Noemi looks after my sons (y7 and y10) not only with her professional attitude and lots of experience but always seems kind, calm and patient with them, which makes me relaxed.She also keeps excellent communication with me regarding timing and necessary updates, which makes our parent-childminder relationship very easy, reliable and friendly.
Noemi's home is welcoming, clean and well organised and the boys have great fun reading books, playing with all the toys available, and with the other children in her care. She provides a wide, fun range of activities, has lots of ideas how to entertain children in a fun, but educational way.
My sons are always happy to stay with her and enjoy all her fun activities and her special Spanish lessons. As my children are already at primary and junior school Noemi's extending teaching experience is a great advantage for me, because my children's homework are always done during her childminding and she supervises their independent work.
When my children step outside their boundaries she responds with firm but kind discipline explaining what we would like to see in terms which they understands. When they feel under the weather I know that they feel happy to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure their health and safety.
Noemi is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining my sons confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.
I am also aware that Noemi ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
When my sons stayed with Noemi for all day during half term, she completed daily diary detailing what they have done each day. From this I have a complete picture of their whole day including what they have eaten, and all their activities. This helps me to feel involved with their care and that I can talk to them about their day in childcare.
All in all I am thoroughly happy with the level of care my children receive and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping them develop into a confident and self assured children.
I would absolutely recommend Noemi as a great and reliable childminder.
