We have nothing but praise for Ilfat! She has been amazing with our Son and we have witnessed his confidence grow throughout his time at her setting.
Ilfat is attentive and caring. There is always an activity set out for the children to get stuck into. Ilfat keeps us updated throughout the day with what our child has been up to and is always checking our child's progress against the early years foundation stage which is great for keeping up with their development. My child looks forward to going to childminder and is so well looked after which is amazing as a working mum and so reassuring. I highly recommend Ilfat she has been amazing!
Nana is just fantastic. She started looking after my daughter she was 9 months old (she is now 4), and also looks after my son too since he was 10 months and is now 2. Nana has been amazing for our family and truly feels like an extension of it. She treats and cares for them as family.
From the start, Nana has been warm, calm and incredibly patient. She is always accommodating and supportive, and she’s helped the children feel safe, settled and confident in her care. As a parent, that reassurance means everything.
Nana’s communication is one of the biggest reasons we trust her so much. She keeps us updated about the children’s day and how they’re getting on (sending photos and regular updates), and she always makes time to talk things through and work as a team. She regularly reassures us about how she feels the children are progressing, and it’s clear she really understands them as individuals.
The range of activities Nana provides is brilliant and has had such a positive impact. She plans fun, varied days with things like craft activities, drawing and creative play, as well as puzzles and problem-solving games that really keep them engaged. She also spends time reading with them, helping build their interest in books and supporting their language – crucial having bilingual children. We love that she includes role play, which has really helped their confidence and imagination. Nana also takes them on outings in the local community (library, fire station, Christmas grotto, local children stay and play) giving them new experiences and helping them learn about the world around them in a safe and appropriate way.
Overall, Nana has been and still is a huge part of our children’s early years and we feel incredibly lucky to have her. I would recommend her without hesitation.

My son has been with Sarah and Gary for almost a year now, and they have been nothing short of incredible. Their care, dedication, and genuine passion for what they do shine through every single day. They have supported my son in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I’m truly grateful for the nurturing environment they’ve created.
My eldest attended a local private nursery, and looking back, I only wish I had known about Sarah and Gary sooner — I would have sent him to them in a heartbeat.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sophie and Sophie as our childminders. Our son started with them when he was just 7 months old and settled in so well. Now at two years old, he genuinely looks forward to going every day.
They both work incredibly hard to support his learning and development, and it’s been wonderful to see how much he has grown and thrived. They plan great activities and make a real effort to take the children to play groups and out on trips, which has helped build his confidence and social skills.
The support they offer to our whole family has been wonderful. They are kind, attentive, and truly invested in the children they care for. We have recently started sending our second baby as well, and she is already perfectly content and settled with them, which speaks volumes about their warmth and consistency.
We are so grateful for everything they do and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated childminder.
Due to my inability to be organised, I left it too late to sign my son up to breakfast club when he started school in September, so in a panic I needed a childminder! Isoken (Sarah) was the first childminder I contacted due to her profile and availability to do school drop offs, once we met, I instantly knew my son would be in the best hands possible!
Sarah provides a clean, warm and welcoming setting for the children in her care, she is pleasant and highly knowledgeable! My son loves being with Sarah in the mornings and enjoys his short time there before leaving for the school run.
I honestly could not recommend Sarah anymore, I drop him off daily and do not feel the usual 'mom guilt' because he is happy & safe while there!
We brought our two year old to Isoken Sarah's setting, we were so nervous as my child has food allergies and she has never been in a childcare setting before. Sarah made getting to see her and the registration process smooth and easy, she was helpful at every stage and knowledge on things like how to add her on the tax free childcare account.
In terms of my daughter actually at Sarah's setting I cannot express how incredibly thoughtful she is. Sarah works so hard to keep the children engaged, to support their learning both academically and socially. She is kind, gentle and thoughtful in every activity. She gives full and informative handovers and she's always taking the children out and about to experience new things. She also always has lovely fresh fruit and vegetables available for the children to snack on and values a rainbow diet and healthy eating which we love.
I have watched my previously shy child blossom in Sarah's care, she is so confident and interested in other children and friendships for the first time ever. We are so lucky to have found Sarah and we recommend her to everyone. It is like a home away from home for my daughter who doesn't even think about separation just dives through the door knowing what excitement is ahead of her.

Heartfelt thanks to Fatma for the wonderful care she provided to my child over a long period of time.
She was always warm, caring, and easy to communicate with, and her flexibility made a big difference to our daily routine.
Alongside the pick‑up and drop‑off, she kindly offered a free meal, which showed her generosity and genuine care for children.
I truly appreciate everything she has done for my family, and I am grateful for the support she gave us a childminder.
If there were an award for turning everyday moments into magical ones, she would win it effortlessly. Our childminder isn’t just someone who watches children — she understands them, champions them, and brings out their brightest little sparks. She has this remarkable way of blending patience, creativity, and genuine warmth so that every day feels like a new adventure for the children in her care.
What makes her truly special is that you can see the difference in your child — the confidence, the laughter, the stories they can’t wait to tell when they get home. That kind of joy can’t be faked; it comes from feeling safe, valued, and loved. Trusting someone with your child is the biggest leap a parent makes, and with her, it never feels like a leap — it feels like the most natural, reassuring step.
We feel so lucky to have found Sam and her lovely family. She has been such a wonderful childminder to our two-year-old and provides a safe, fun and nurturing environment where our little boy has felt completely at home.
Communication has always been great, and we really appreciate the updates she gives us on what he’s been up to.
We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Sam has been looking after our 2 year old son since September 2025. We have had nothing but a positive experience. She regularly takes the children out to playgroups or they go out on walks, to the park and even fruit and vegetable picking! Sam also keeps the children engaged by making crafts or cooking. Sam makes sure to keep us updated on what our son has been up to during the day and she is friendly and approachable. Our 2 year old enjoys going to Sam’s house and he comes home very happy and chatty. Thank you Sam.
Sarah has been the childminder for my daughter for the past year. My daughter was 6months old when she joined Sarah’s care setting and I could not ask for more.
My daughter absolutely adores Sarah, goes off happy, with a wave goodbye to me in the morning.
Sarah’s setting is not only educational, fun and structured, it is also warm, homely and a house full of love. My daughter idolises Sarah’s children, who are gentle and kind.
Sarah’s activities and themes with the children are well thought out and help progress my daughter in all aspects.
Sarah embraces my daughters ‘sassy-ness’, encourages her to be independent and to have a voice.
Childminders like Sarah are so rare and that is because she is more than a childminder, she goes above and beyond for the children in her care every day.
She is a fantastic childminder who consistently goes above and beyond. She is kind and patient, always attentive to each child’s individual needs, and extremely responsible. Communication is excellent, and we always feel confident that our child is safe, happy, and well cared for. We are very thankful to have found her.
I was really lucky to find Padma to look after my little girl. Though my child was going to Padma only 2 days a week , she seemed to be very attached to Padma. Padma is very loving and a caring child minder and we were really privileged to have her as our child minder.
Ana has been absolutely amazing with my son, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. From day one, she has been kind, patient, and genuinely dedicated to his well-being and development. She creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where he feels comfortable and confident. I’ve seen such positive growth in his confidence, communication, and happiness since being with her. Ana always keeps me informed and reassured, and it’s clear how much she truly cares about the children she looks after. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a reliable, loving, and professional childminder.

Suneetha has been helping us with after school pick up of my son for 2 years now.
My son is very comfortable at her set up.
She has an excellent skill to keep the kids engaged. My son has a learnt a lot from her.
He enjoys the freshly prepared food at tea time dinner.
We also take her full day help during school breaks and continue our office without any stress as we know our kid is in safe hands.
I’m so grateful for the care she gives to my 2-year-old daughter. As a mum, leaving your child with someone else is such a big step, but she has made the whole experience feel so much easier and reassuring.
She is patient, kind and genuinely caring. It’s clear that she really takes the time to understand my daughter and make her feel safe and comfortable. She settled in so well, and every time I pick her up she’s happy, and that means everything to me.
The play area is always clean, colourful and very child-friendly. It’s such a welcoming space, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it safe and engaging for little ones. My daughter literally runs straight in as soon as the door opens, which shows how comfortable and safe she feels there.
You can tell she truly cares about the children she looks after. I always feel at ease knowing my little girl is in a loving and secure environment.
I would definitely recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing. We feel very lucky to have found her.
We have our youngest with Jenny during the week and our middle child, who's now in reception, spends his holidays back in the setting - because he wants to go back!
Both of our children absolutely love their time with Jenny, and we can’t recommend her enough. Communication is fantastic and the size of the setting means it has an amazing family atmosphere. Whilst being an incredibly intimate setting Jenny also regularly takes the children to local groups ensuring they learns the skills necessary to function within larger groups. This along with the activities she runs in the setting means the children are incredibly well prepared for school.
Despite not being Vegan ourselves, we love the fact that the setting is vegan as it means the children get served the best fresh food every day. We often turn up as boxes of amazing vegetables are being delivered!
We have recommended the setting to several of our friends and everyone who has seen it has loved it!
We can’t recommend Jenny enough!
Marilu is amazing. She has looked after my daughter on and off from the age of 6months to now 8 years old.
She’s friendly and fun and has the added benefit of speaking Italian and Korean!
I’ve always felt safe leaving my daughter with her and recommend her to all of my friends
We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and compassionate childminder for our daughter, MB She started when she was just 2 years old and is now leaving at 3, and the progress she has made during this time has been truly amazing.
From day one, she created a warm, loving, and nurturing environment where MB felt completely safe and happy. She has such a gentle and patient nature, and it really shows in the way the children respond to her — they absolutely adore her.
MB has learned so much under her care, from recognising numbers and colours to building confidence and social skills. We’ve seen her grow not only academically but emotionally too. She has helped her develop trust, independence, and kindness towards others.
What stands out most is how genuinely dedicated and trustworthy she is. Knowing our daughter was in such safe and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind every single day. MB was always excited and happy to go to her house, which says everything.
We are so grateful for the love, support, and guidance she has given our daughter. She truly goes above and beyond, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a five-star childcare experience. Thank you for everything — you’ve made such a positive difference in our little girl’s life! 💛
Hi, as a professional myself, I have got know Sri now for 12 months and found her to be trustworthy and impressed with knowledge that each child has different needs, and Sri accommodates this accordingly with her skills and experience she has obtained. I have also got to see a few other parents where she does assistant in their childcare showing trust and stability in her care for children. I Would recommend Sri to anyone in need of childcare, and she is also available very early mornings which in some cases does help parents manage their time accordingly. Thank you Sri, my lad does love your company and playtime together.
