Rachel looked after our 8 week old baby and was absolutely perfect. It was lovely to be able to go out for a few hours without worrying as she kept up good communication and sent us updates and photos, which meant everything to us as new parents. Came home to a happy, calm baby and would definitely ask Rachel to watch our child again.
Marion looks after our 17 month boy. He was 12 months old when he started, he quickly settled in and is now really happy with Marion and her husband John. He runs in their house excitedly when we drop him off in the morning. Their house is a great homely environment for children, with a variety of toys & a nice garden. Our son often comes home with arts and crafts he has been making while at Marion's. Marion also regularly takes him and the other children along to playgroup and out on trips to local shops and places which he really enjoys. Marion uses a communication book which is really helpful to know what times he has had a sleep, when he has eaten & what he has been up to. We would highly recommend Marion to anyone looking for a welcoming and experienced childminder.
Belinda has worked with our family for a short time, and we’ve been so grateful for her help. She is punctual, kind and wonderfully caring with the children. They absolutely adore her! Belinda speaks excellent English and has also been teaching my kids some Spanish ☺️
She’s not only fantastic with the children but also incredibly helpful around the house, often taking initiative with tasks I don’t usually have time to do myself. It’s been such a pleasure having her as part of our family routine.
Unfortunately, due to distance, Belinda can only continue to work with us on an ad hoc basis — otherwise, we would have loved to keep her on.
I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, warm and capable nanny.
Holly looked after our daughter for 2 years, the minute she welcomed us into her home we knew she was the right person for us, she is a vibrant, lovely person who has a passion for childcare, our daughters development improved so much with Holly. She has a range of activities planned for the children both indoors in a home which is beautiful and child friendly as well as outdoor visits to local parks, playgrounds and child oriented farms, all meals and nappy changes are recorded and she is meticulous in everything she does, I would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a childminder!
I was hesitant to leave my one year old to go back to studies but Kirby has made it so easy for us, my daughter is super happy and has so much fun with Kirby. Communication is amazing and I I can check in on my daughter at anytime and always get lovely updates and images on how she’s getting on. After alot of anxiety then meeting Kirby and seeing how attentive and caring she is I am very comfortable and confident in dropping my daughter in the morning knowing she’s in great hands.

We feel so lucky to have found Rose as our daughter’s childminder. From the moment you step into her home, it’s clear how much love and care she puts into making it a welcoming, safe, and fun environment for the children. She has a dedicated playroom that’s full of toys, books, and creative materials, and it’s always set up to keep the kids engaged and happy.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Rose’s. As parents, that gives us such peace of mind. We feel completely relaxed knowing she’s in such good hands.
One of the things we really appreciate is how Rose ensures the children are always doing different activities—whether it’s crafts, outdoor play, gymnastics class, play group, or learning through fun games. There’s always something new and exciting planned, and it’s clear how much thought she puts into making every day special for them.
Most importantly, we trust Rose completely. She’s kind, patient, and professional, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. We couldn’t ask for a better childminder.
We couldn’t be happier with our new childminder! After a not-so-great experience with our first childminder terminating our agreement after 3.5 weeks, finding someone as caring, reliable, and attentive as Emma has been such a relief. As a first-time mum returning to work, finding the right fit was incredibly important and naturally came with some stress, but Emma has completely put my mind at ease. From day one, she’s made our child feel comfortable and happy, and we’ve noticed such a positive difference. Her communication is excellent, she goes above and beyond to keep us updated with videos of what he gets up to, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. We finally feel at ease knowing our little one is in safe, nurturing hands. Highly recommend!
I had a confirmed place with this child minder for January as one of their current families said they were leaving. This was confirmed for months. When I then contacted about a visit, I was told that family had changed their mind and I no longer had a place, unsure if she only mentioned this to me as I had contacted her. This left me with no child care and having to hunt last minute. Surely if you have agreed a place with someone they have the place, the family who changed their mind should have had to hunt for a new place. Very unprofessional, be warned.
Maria, started with Erica since she was 10 months old until she turned 3.5 yrs. Her contribution to Maria's early development was truly at the highest level. She created a safe, nurturing, and incredibly enriching environment where she absolutely thrived!
Through the various activities and outings she planned, we watched Maria grow and flourish, truly "like a flower." She developed so many essential skills and a genuine love for learning and exploration.
Most importantly, Maria was always so happy to be in her setting. Knowing she was spending her days in a place filled with warmth, fun, and genuine care gave us immense peace of mind!!! Thank you Erica for your love and hard work!!! We miss you so much 🥹
We transitioned our son to Krishna's setting after two years at a nursery. Despite continuous efforts, he never settled at the nursery. The moment we switched to Krishna, everything changed. The difference was instant and our son settled immediately.
Krishna provides a loving, structured, and genuinely caring environment. It truly feels like a "home away from home". She is dedicated, always engaging the children with thoughtful activities.
We love that she perfectly balances indoor and outdoor activities, ensuring the kids are constantly learning, exploring, and moving.
We are grateful to have found Krishna. We recommend her without hesitation.
Leaving this review to say a huge thank you. She has been wonderful with my daughter — nurturing, patient and so dedicated. My daughter has learned more with her than she did at school and her confidence has improved massively. You can see she genuinely wants the children to progress and always gives her best. We couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommended !
She responded promptly and took excellent care of my child. She ensured my child’s diapers were changed on time and kept me regularly updated on her well-being throughout the day. I felt that my child was safe and well looked after. The environment was clean, nurturing, and conducive to her comfort and development. I would highly recommend her childcare services to other parents.
I can’t recommend Kellie enough! She’s been absolutely amazing with my son. She’s always going above and beyond. He loves spending time with her, and she’s kind, patient, and genuinely cares about each child she looks after. She creates such a loving, safe, and homely environment where my son is thriving. Truly the best childminder i could ask for!
What really stands out is how much thought and care Kellie puts into everything she does. She takes the children out every day to different places — soft play, playgroups, libraries, forrest school and other educational trips — so they’re constantly learning and exploring new things in fun, hands-on ways.
Kellie has also been amazing at helping my son get ready for school next year, encouraging his independence, confidence, and social skills. I can already see how much he’s grown since being with her.
My son is really going to miss her when he moves on to school — she’s made such a special impact on him, and he’ll always have the happiest memories of his time with her!
We’ve been so lucky to have Liyanna caring for our baby since he was 10 months old (he’s almost 12 months), and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. From the very first day, she brought such warmth, love, and calm energy into our home. She immediately put me at ease — I feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with her, which as any parent knows, is everything.
Liyanna is so caring and playful with our son — always coming up with fun activities, singing nursery songs, and finding little ways to make playtime educational. He absolutely adores her! It’s clear she loves what she does, and that warmth really shows in how happy and settled he is with her.
What really stands out is how Liyanna goes above and beyond. She does batch cooking for our son (and sometimes even makes extra for us — such a treat!), and always leaves everything tidy and spotless. It genuinely feels like she takes care of us parents too, not just our baby.
Liyanna also so professional and reliable — always punctual, transparent about her availability, and super easy to communicate with on WhatsApp. I never have to worry; she keeps me updated and is very open and honest.
Having Liyanna with us has been such a gift — she’s given me real peace of mind and a sense of sanity knowing our little one is in the best hands. I can’t recommend her enough. Any family would be so lucky to have her!
We met Luknute for the first time recently, and both my son and I liked her straight away. She has a calm and gentle presence, which made my little one feel comfortable very quickly. Everything went smoothly, and we’ve decided to continue with her. Highly recommend.
