My little boy has always struggled with being away from me, and settling in was a big challenge for him. It took lots of settling sessions, patience and finding what worked best for him, but Sara and the whole team never gave up on him.
They have gone above and beyond to make sure he feels safe, comfortable and reassured. There were times when I honestly thought he would never settle, but their kindness, understanding, patience and consistency have made such a difference.
He has finally settled, and seeing how far he has come is such a lovely feeling. I am so grateful for all the time, effort and care they have put into helping him feel happy and comfortable. A massive thank you to Sara and the whole team for never giving up on my little boy and for treating him with so much love and care. ❤️
Becky has been our childminder for over two years, and my boys have absolutely loved every minute of their time with her! They loved spending time with Becky so much that they refused to go to any other after-school or holiday club. ❤️
I always loved hearing about their little adventures and how Becky would take them out exploring the local area during the day. The way she effortlessly managed a mix of toddlers and older children was truly remarkable. She understood that each of my boys had different needs and catered to them so thoughtfully, encouraging their independence while providing a warm, caring and nurturing environment.
I’m so grateful for all the love, care and wonderful experiences Becky has given my boys over the years. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
We’re extremely happy with the care and support our little one receives at Sarah’s childcare setting. He started attending 5 months ago and we wished he had started way earlier. The staff are very caring, helpful, supportive , patient, dedicated , professional, and they create a safe, warm, and welcoming environment for the children. Our child enjoys attending and has made great progress in learning and development. Their clear and consistent communication with parents is one of the things I appreciate, also the fun, educational activities, and the individual attention given to each child. We receive updates which include pictures, videos or messages about his daily activities (play, learning, feeding e.t.c) on the app which is specifically designed for childcare and to help parents track their children’s activities. This gives us so much peace of mind knowing what our child gets up to everyday. I’ll highly recommend!
My daughter started with Kavitha when she was 3 after one of the day care which she was going shifted. Kavitha and other staff are soo amazing then I can’t mention that in words. She was always available and helpful. Gia use to love going there. The place is clean and warm as home. This place for your kids is highly recommended.
I found Laura back in June26, I had to go back to work early and I was anxious leaving my daughter. Laura reassured me by sending me daily updates, sharing photos throughout the day, providing excellent care and making my daughter as part of her family.
She takes them on amazing outings from local parks, farms, soft play, The Royal Air Force museum, trips to the beach and does amazing activities during the day at her home.
I couldn’t recommend her anymore, my daughter absolutely loves her. She is always smiling when I drop her off and doesn’t want to leave when I pick her up.
Our son loves his time with Marisa. They get up to all sorts of activities, no two days are the same.
Marisa has a strong network with other local childminders, children’s groups and local businesses, so our son gets lots of interaction and experiences.
We get daily updates and photos which are always a joy to receive. She discusses behaviour, development, eating habits and her support strategy with whatever phase our child might be in.
Like so many, our child has a lot of energy and intrigue which Marisa does not struggle to match. He comes home with smiles and stories about his adventure that day with his friends.
Jessica is an amazing childminder who genuinely goes above and beyond for the children in her care. She is always kind, caring, patient and inclusive, making sure every child feels safe, happy and valued. She provides lots of fun and engaging activities that the children absolutely love and always puts so much thought and effort into what she does.
Jessica is also incredibly flexible and understanding when things come up, and nothing ever seems too much trouble. It’s clear how much she cares about the children and how passionate she is about her job.
I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my son. I’m so grateful for everything she does and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a wonderful, and caring childminder. ❤️
I have been sending my two sons to Rujina for more than a year now. She has been nothing short of amazing with them both. Initially she welcomed them and helped them settle much faster than I thought! Providing 1 on 1 time and lots of comfort, I received regular updates on their settling in periods. Since then it’s only gotten better. My sons have improved on social and communication skills and being more independent. This all happens through the various activities Rujina has set up for the children. She really does provide a nurturing environment which allows the kids to feel safe and grow. The outdoor space is amazing and allows children to get fresh air whatever the weather. Different foods at lunch time to increase what the children are exposed to- which helped my children be better eaters too. Overall excellent childminder.
We feel so lucky to have found Simeone and to have got a place for our little girl with her.
Simeone has been amazing, especially during a difficult period when our little girl was struggling with eating and sleeping. She worked with us to help get a consistent routine in place between home and childminding, and her experience and advice were a huge help to us as parents. She has always been so supportive and willing to go that extra mile.
We love getting regular photos and updates throughout the day, which are always lovely to see. Even when our little girl has been unwell and hasn’t been able to attend for a few days, Simeone has checked in to see how she is doing. It’s little things like this that show just how much she genuinely cares.
Our little girl is always so happy going to Simeone’s in the mornings, and honestly, dropping her off feels like leaving her with her own granny. There is no better feeling than knowing your child is happy and being so well looked after when you can’t be with them yourself.
Simeone also has a fantastic garden and so many toys for the children to enjoy. Having viewed a number of nurseries, we were genuinely so impressed with the outdoor space and facilities she offers. She cooks home cooked meals for the children every day and takes them to different groups and activities, so they have lots to do and enjoy.
What we love most about Simeone is how much she cares. She treats all the children like her own and really does go above and beyond for them.
We honestly couldn’t recommend Simeone enough to any parent looking for a kind and trustworthy childminder. We’re so grateful for everything she does for our little girl and for us as a family.
We’re really happy with the care and support our son receives. Alex keeps him engaged in fun activities, takes him outdoors, and encourages him to socialise and communicate effectively. She also helps him develop good manners and positive behaviours, and we truly appreciate her dedication to his growth and development.
Deny is simply amazing, our son loves going to Deny’s house and always goes
comes out with a smile. Deny is very caring, fun, always takes the children out to various activities, places, walks and send menus updates and photos. Our son loves her animals too, we couldn’t be happier - we would highly recommend Deny for any childcare needs you may have!

Hoda is truly wonderful! She's kind, gentle, and highly intelligent and she brings so much care and patience to everything she does. Our son absolutely loves her and is always excited when she comes over. We feel completely at ease leaving him with her because she's trustworthy, attentive and reliable. We'll be asking for her help every chance we get. If you're looking for a babysitter you can count on, we can't recommend Hoda highly enough!

Where can I begin, I was so nervous leaving my daughter S at 1 years old to go back to work. This was my first time away from her. And Ranj has been so thoughtful, caring, gives such amazing updates. She really helped my daughter S become so confident, teaching her to share, to speak and get involved in activities!
I love the fact I can 100% trust Ranj with my toddler S, she leaps from me every morning without any issue. Ranj communicates so well and she really loves S so much! Her setting is super clean, so safe and she has always been so understanding & helpful especially when I’ve been sick or running late.
Honestly, one of the best childminders in Gravesend - and I was not worried at all, all her kids are so lovely & caring. Ranj does such amazing activities & my daughter really adores her. She has genuinely become part of the family!
I hate the fact we are leaving Ranj (due to moving out of the area) as my daughter really loves her setting, her children and the kids she looks after.
We provided my daughter S her own food and Ranj recommended so many things that help her eat better, drink more water etc. She also was so mindful of my daughter’s skin condition and was so caring about it.
I cannot fault Ranj - she is so wonderful with my daughter and treats her like her own… Genuinely sad leaving her.

I would highly recommend Nat as a childminder. She looked after my son for two years, and the only reason we moved on was for him to start preschool. He absolutely loved his time with Nat, and we were so happy with the care she provided. She really became part of our family, and I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a caring, loving and reliable childminder.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives from Nicky, Maria, Ethan and Clair! ❤️
Since starting in September, he has settled in amazingly well and absolutely loves going each day, which says everything about the wonderful environment they have created. From the daily trips and activities to the opportunities to play, explore and learn alongside other children, he is constantly developing new skills, building confidence and growing socially.
The genuine care and love they show him is so special. He is truly treated as one of their own, and it’s incredible how quickly they have got to know him inside and out, understanding his little personality, needs and quirks. As parents, knowing he is so happy, safe and loved while we are at work is priceless.
We also have to give them credit for keeping up with his appetite! 😂 He is an absolute foodie and certainly knows how to put away his food, so they deserve a medal for keeping up with him and making sure he’s always well fed! We love knowing he’s enjoying his meals just as much as he enjoys everything else in his day.
Communication is fantastic, with regular photos and updates that let us see what he has been getting up to and all the fun he has had throughout the day. It’s so reassuring to feel involved and know just how much thought goes into his days.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful team who genuinely care about the children they look after. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough to any parents looking for a nurturing, fun and loving environment for their little ones! 💛
I honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder for my son. She has been looking after him since he was a baby, and it’s been so special watching her help him grow into the little man he is today, full of personality and character.
She is absolutely brilliant at what she does, so creative and reliable, and always encourages outdoor play, exploring nature and learning new things. She makes sure the children have lots of exciting experiences, with plenty of outings to places like the dinosaur park, local parks, libraries and different events. There is always something new for them to explore, learn about and enjoy!
Receiving daily photos is such a lovely bonus, too. It means I get to see what my son has been up to during the day, see his little adventures and share in those special moments even when I’m at work.
As a mum, leaving your baby at such a young age to return to work can be really difficult, but she gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed to do that. Knowing my son was in such good hands made all the difference. She is always there to offer advice and support whenever I need it, and I genuinely value that.
To me, she is so much more than just my son’s childminder. I consider her a friend, and I’m so grateful to have her in both our lives. It takes a special person to care for your child, help them develop and watch them grow, and she really is one of those people.
We will genuinely miss her so much! ❤️ She has been such a special part of my son’s life and our journey as a family, and it’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for everything she has done for us.
I would recommend her a thousand times over to any parent looking for someone caring, trustworthy, creative and reliable to look after their little one. Thank you for everything you do for my son, for all the wonderful experiences you give him, and for the support and reassurance you’ve given me along the way.
We are so lucky to have had you as part of our lives. Thank you for helping my little boy grow, learn and make so many lovely memories. You will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will miss you dearly!
Your child will be very lucky if they get a space with Emma, from day one my little boy absolutely loved being with Emma at her home, she takes the children to lovely places and really treats them like her own. She teaches them lots of things, and really gives them her undivided attention. We couldn’t of asked anymore from a childminder and absolutely gutted Emma moved away from us
Eden Care was amazing with my son! She has such a kind and caring nature and interacted with him so well. She made him feel comfortable, safe, and at ease in her care. I’m truly grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone caring, patient, and trustworthy. ❤️
Nosheen is caring and kind, my daughter has been with her for 2 years now and we are very happy. She is always reliable, and communicates clearly with us parents. She is so loving and my daughter looks forward to going to her whenever the opportunity comes. I have peace of mind knowing that my daughter is with Nosheen. They do all sorts of fun crafts and drawing while they are together and also go on activities.
