Sara has been providing before and after school care for our son since he joined reception in 2022 and we are very happy with the care provided.
Sara has been able to spend time doing phonics, reading and math with our son during the week which has helped improve his learning and given him time one on one with an experienced teacher.
Sara was able to accommodate our son’s allergy within her care setting and always ensured ingredients were checked for his safety. Sara also arranged for training in the use of epi pens so that she had a full understanding of what to do if a reaction did happen-this really gave us confidence that our son was well cared for.
Sara really welcomed our son into her home and family and he has really enjoyed his time at Sara’s cygnets.
Jennie has been our childminder for both our children. They both have loved their time with Jennie including all the activities, adventures and crafting throughout the years especially the food/snacks created brought home and eaten by us all. All the kids have formed a great bond even though they are different ages and interested in a variety of activities and topics. Jennie effortlessly seems to make it all work. Jennie has been great at communication and been flexible when needed for myself. I would highly recommend Jennie to anyone who has children!!

We trust Ross implicitly, and feel so lucky to have found her. She baby sits our 17month old daughter once a week, and is extremely reliable. Ross has baby sat for us on a weekly basis for nearly a year now, in addition to some adhoc baby sitting requests. Our daughter loves spending time with Ross, and is very comfortable in her company. Ross is kind and caring, and has a wonderful nature which makes playtime before bed a special time for our daughter. As a young family without immediate family local to us, we are grateful for the service Ross offers and could not recommend her enough to other families.
Our son has been with Paula for over 16 months and we are all sad to leave due to a relocation. Paula has gone above and beyond what we would have ever expected, hence our son talks about her daily!
Our son has grown in her home care setting, benefitted from regular day trips and enjoyed socialising with other children through Paula's network of other childminders. Paula has also offered advice when asked and we have been very lucky she has given our son such a good start. Big shoes to fill as we move on.
Jenny has been childminding my two daughters for over two years now. I am extremely happy with the care that my daughters have received, and the great progress they have made whilst in Jenny’s care. Jenny’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and the girls have fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Jenny has a warm, friendly and fair approach which supports the children to feel comfortable and safe and also know and follow healthy boundaries.
Jenny provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. The children regularly go to various playgroups, parks, trips, do arts and crafts, baking and varied activities.
Jenny regularly sends updates throughout the day in the form of notes and pictures which helps me stay involved and updated on my daughters’ day. I am thoroughly happy with the level of care the girls 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 Jenny as a great and reliable childminder.
Ash is such a lovely person, I was so worried about leaving my 2 young children with anyone as they’d never been away from me before, but they just took to her straight away and all my worries were gone. She has gone above and beyond for me and my children, taking care of them longer than planned at short notice when I was held up at work unexpectedly. She will always be my first choice whenever I require childcare. Thank you for being so wonderful!
Eliz has been visiting my little once a week and she is so understanding and caring with her. She helps her learn some Spanish words and seems to know what games to play in order to keep my LO's interest. When her time is finishing I have to give my little one a heads up that Eliz has to leave because she enjoys it a lot so is sad afterwards.
Highly recommended Eliz

Shannon looked after our 3 girls full time when they were 7, 5 and 1 years old. She is an exceptional childcare professional. The girls loved her enthusiasm, her creativity and her positivity. They are now 12, 10 and 7 and I can still see the impact of her influence on their behaviour. She nurtured their self confidence, creativity and respect for people around them. They love drama and performing and this is something that is certainly rooted in their experience with Shannon. I would highly recommend her as a nanny and assure you that any child she cares for will feel the benefit of her influence for years to come.
I am writing this review to express my sincere appreciation.
Jodie taught our son in his first year at school and also cared for him at her home setting during half term breaks.
Her setting is all the great things you would expect from a childcare environment- fun, caring, safe and with an added bonus of an experienced expert touch!
Jodie has gained so much knowledge and experience through her early years school role, and I feel this really is a great advantage to her childminding career.
Dropping our son off at a place where he was engrossed, safe and loved during the day made all the difference.
My son is now 9 and still speaks so fondly of his memories with “his” Jodie.
We were so lucky to find her!
We had a fantastic experience with Kate! She brought in last minute, to look after our 1-year. During her stay, our 4-year-old who got and she took great care of him too.
Kate was calm and patient with the Kids, she was reliable and felt responsible for the kids in her care. She handled all the usual babysitting duties with ease. She even went above and beyond when we had to ask her in the morning to look after our 4-year-old became unwell that day. Kids loved her and asked the next day to see her again.
Our 1-year-old had a great time too, and even enjoyed going for walks with Kate. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our children in her care.
We are hiring Katie again for future babysitting sessions and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring babysitter.
Sibel has been our nanny for the last few months and has become a valuable part of our family life. I found It’s a huge thing to trust your child with someone new but our daughter really adores Sibel and hugely looks forward to her time with her. Sibel is trustworthy, flexible and reliably professional, & very enjoyable to spend time with too. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny, thank you so much Sibel from all of us!
Emily was absolutely brilliant with my two children aged 4 and 1. I came to Emily to gain a little free time for my self. I felt really at ease with Emily as she reassured me throughout the day with pictures of the children (with my consent). Both children had a great time and their routine wasn’t broken Emily was really flexible and nothing was a problem!
Would highly recommend to everyone in the area. I won’t be using anyone else now. Thank you so much for your help :)
Dee has been with us for several years and has always been professional, reliable and great with our young children. Our daughter loves playing with Dee and is often sad at hometime!
Dee is very calm and warm with the kids and supportive/ flexible where she can be. We’ve been very lucky to have her work with us!
The sitter delibrately squeezes time out by smalltalk and other such nuances to get a bill boosted up. She is also untrustworthy as her bank records were not recognized by Barclays netbanking and when tried to settlle her boosted bill in cash she refused to co-ordinate and said she had no time.
She does not engage the child or entertain her - only sweet talks.
We have known Hajrije for 2 years as she has been looking after our children (newborn to 3.5 years). She is the most wonderful nanny and we would highly recommend her - she is playful, caring and trustworthy. She never once missed a day or arrived late, and she is happy to accommodate flexible hours wherever possible. She genuinely enjoys spending time with children and offering a wide range of activities, and the children love her. She is also very tidy and clean and always leaves our home in better conditions than she found it!
We can't recommend her highly enough.
My eldest son attended Caring Hands for over a year and loved it. He built a wonderful relationship with his key worker which still exists today. When we pass nursery on the way back from school he always asks to go in and say hello. I was very impressed with the knowledge he acquired at Caring Hands and he seemed to cover some amazing pre school topics.
My youngest son started back in November and he too is very happy. He adores his key worker and it’s clear to me she’s very fond of him too. He always comes home with lots of crafts and things he’s made during his day. He also eats very well! The children go to the park twice a day too as the location is so accessible. I highly recommend Caring Hands to anyone looking for a nursery in Fulham.
I came to Little Leaps after a bad experience with another childminder where my daughter just did not settle so was very nervous however the team at Little Leaps were so welcoming and comforting that my daughter settled straight in. She's learning lots daily and I love the updates we get about their day on the app its a great way of being able to see their progress.
I booked Shona for the a recent 7pm to 9am overnight sitting for my 16 year old.
I was looking for a service where they could begin to practice their independence (i.e. cooking a simple meal) whilst under the watchful eye of someone.
Shona arrived precisely on time and spent the evening playing card and board games with my teen. My teen enjoyed the experience of having a nice, friendly and caring person around.
We paid £300 for 14 hours of attendance (this also included £20 travel costs)
Shona is a lovely lady and I'd thoroughly recommend her.

Fantastic nanny! My 5 year old daughter had such fun with Madi and her family, She spent the weekend at her house and had such fun! I was updated the whole time on what my daughter was doing and she was very happy!
Madi was very punctual, and arrived on time to collect her!
I would definitely recommend her to a friend!
Amazing nanny!
