Eva looked after my eldest son from 6 months old and my youngest from 10 months. They are now 8 and 4 and she drops them and picks them up from school. Eva knows my boys so incredibly well and is like an extension to our family. She is accommodating of our changing working schedules and always happy to help us out when we need it, which we are truly grateful for as we have no family support nearby.
When my boys were younger she always had fun and engaging activities lined up and play groups that they loved going too. More recently, the boys look forward to breakfast and play time at Eva’s in the morning before school and heading back to hers after school for delicious snacks and fun play with their friends.
Eva is reliable, always updates us on what the boys have been up to, kind, caring and most importantly the boys adored her!
We are grateful to have found someone as special as Eva.
Our daughter has been attending Kathleen’s after-school setting for four years now and I can honestly say we would be lost without her.
Leaving your child for the first time is always daunting, but right from day one Kath put my mind completely at ease. I feel incredible peace of mind knowing my child is in the care of such a genuinely warm, caring, and nurturing person.
My daughter absolutely loves going to Kath’s. There are always fun, educational activities planned and the meals are both delicious and nutritious—she actually eats more there than she ever does at home!
We feel extremely lucky to have found Kath and we will always be incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and love she has shown our daughter.
Our daughter has been with Annabel for eight months and it is everything that we were looking for in a setting. Upon meeting her, we were instantly impressed with her warm, nurturing manner and her knowledge on child development.
Annabel and her team provides an intimate setting which has meant that our daughter is comfortable with all the children and staff there, happily playing with any of them there. Montessori principles guide a lot of their practice. Independence is really encouraged and developed through giving small responsibilities to the children (my daughter now often initiates tidy up time before dinner all by herself!). Older and younger children while having their own spaces and activities are allowed to freely mix, play together and even join in to the other activities if they wish to - this is something that I think is really special as the older children learn through teaching and develop empathy and the younger children pick up on the skills modelled so much faster. There is a huge variety of activities every week, with themes that are shared in advance, and lots of singing - which is so brilliant for language acquisition.
Annabel also has organised lots of parent events which have been really wonderful as a experience to do together with the children but also as a way to get to know the others in the setting - these have ranged from weekend Easter egg hunts, garden planting at the setting, breakfast events, park meets and a sports day! Annabel is fantastic at communication and she actively gets parent input so that the children are as comfortable as can be.
Having been nervous about sending off our first child to childcare, it is safe to say that every day we talk about how happy and safe she is there, and how much she grows every day!
Mandy & Kev are absolutely outstanding childminders. Our daughter has been with them since she was just 6 months old, and as she gets ready to start school this September, we honestly couldn't be more grateful for everything they've done for her over the years.
From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease with their warm, caring, and professional approach. They have created such a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow in confidence. Every single day our daughter goes, she comes home happy and full of stories about all the fun she's had. She absolutely loves going and is always excited to see Mandy & Kev.
Their communication is fantastic, and it's so reassuring knowing she's in such capable and caring hands. It's clear they genuinely love what they do, and they treat every child like part of their own family.
The care, patience, and dedication Mandy & Kev have shown throughout the years have helped our daughter grow into a happy, confident, and kind little girl, ready for her next adventure at school. We can't thank them enough for the love and support they've given her. We would recommend Mandy & Kev without hesitation to any family looking for exceptional childcare—they truly are the best!
My daughter has been with Amanda from when she was around 11 months old. It was my first time using a Childminder and I was quite nervous about it. From day one, Amanda was very supportive and flexible with settling in, happy for me to go slowly and extend the settling time to ensure that we were both happy. We have now been with her for 3.5 years, until starting school.
Throughout this time Amanda has been consistent, reliable and loving, and my daughter has thrived.
The weeks comprise of a mix of daily outings - either local routine trips to the park/library, or further afield to Stratford or even Central London. That combined with home cooked meals and opportunities to play and learn at home or in the garden has been the perfect mix for my child who wakes every morning excited to go.
Communication with Amanda is always excellent, including evening summaries of the day and photos.
We will all be very sad to say bye and will be forever grateful for the work that she has done.

So my little boys just finished with Rhonda after 5 months. It’s been amazing we’ve been to many nursery’s but Rhonda’s was definitely our favorite. My little boy who’s 4 was smiling everyday with her. He couldn’t wait to go there each day. She’s such a caring passionate person. She really puts 100% into all her time with the children. Her home is always clean tidy organised with plenty of toys and activities for children. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Charlotte and Robyn are phenomenal childminders. The setting feels like a home away from home for our little boy. The communication is great using their app. We get cute photos throughout the day of all the activities they do. The outings are amazing for the kids, it teaches them so much.
Would definitely recommend x
Olivia looked after my 2yrs old son for a year. She was always punctual and had excellent communication skills. My son loved having her around because she is so funny and caring. She was incredibly reliable and easy to reach whenever we needed to contact her. She constantly encouraged our child to read, paint, play outside, sing, and dance, which made us so happy and showed us how truly wonderful she is at her job. Thank you, Olivia—we miss you!"

I honestly can’t recommend her enough. For the past two years, she has been a huge part of my daughters’ lives, consistently supporting their learning, development, and confidence. She has taught them so much through fun, hands-on experiences, taking them out to explore the world around them and helping them grow in ways I see every day.
One thing that has meant so much to our family is the way she has nurtured Christian values alongside their learning, encouraging kindness, respect, gratitude, and compassion. My daughters have flourished under her care and guidance, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on their lives.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves what they do and is dedicated to helping children learn, grow, and thrive, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Any parent would be blessed to have their child with her.
Margaret has been an absolute pleasure to have as a tutor. She is incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, always has the child's best interests at heart.
My son has settled in really well with Margaret and genuinely enjoys his sessions. He especially looks forward to the memory games at the end, which are a lovely touch and a great way to keep children engaged while making learning fun.
Thank you, Margaret, for your dedication, patience, and care. I can't wait to see my son's confidence continue to grow under your guidance.
We have been so pleased with our decision to have our son with Naj and her family. He will very proudly tell anyone who will listen that Naj is his childminder and he goes to Naj's playhouse. He gets collected from The Mead nursery and is very happy and willing to be there after school. There's always the most amazing smells coming from the kitchen on pick up and he loves the food. If he's talking about something new and I ask how he knows that, he always says 'from Naj of course'. He's been a very happy little boy there and would recommend to anyone. It's been a real comfort to us knowing how well cared for he is there.
Lucy is the most lovely, kind, caring childminder! If you are looking for a childminder who really puts her heart into looking after your child then get in touch with Lucy! She looked after my 1 year old like she was her own, she is so so good at what she does. Her home was clean and well organised with a variety of toys, she really knows what she is doing and plans educational fun timetables for the children. My daughter always came home with arts and crafts for each holiday or special occasion, she even got her Easter and Christmas presents! If you are looking for a childminder who really cares and does the job because she is the best with children then choose Lucy! My daughter flourished with her both emotionally and developmentally. Thanks again for the care you give Aurora!
Our two sons has been going to Nargis and her team for nearly 3 years now. Arlo was just over a year old & Noah had just turned 3 years old when they joined Nargis in 2023.
The boys have been cared for and looked after so well. The boys would tell us what they did/learn during their stay. The boys would generally stay from 07:30am to 6pm 2-3 times a week. Now that Noah is nearly 6 he is at school and Zahid (Nargis’ husband drops and picks up Noah from school) then from September Arlo (soon 4) will be joining his big brother once he starts nursery.
Arlo is already saying he will miss his friends at Nargis’ house even though he will still see them as he will stay at Nargis a few days after Nursery in September.
Now that the boys have been with Nargis for this long we know we can trust her and team to fully look after the boys. It’s always scary leaving your children with a complete stranger but I see the love and care that Nargis has put towards our boys (even though they can be a handful!) The boys love Nargis’ home cooked meals, it’s just one less thing for us parents to worry about just knowing that our boys are feed healthy meals.
If there’s any issues Nargis will always contact us and let us know, and she’s always responsive when I ask how Arlo is doing.
A wonderful childminder who I’ve recommended to so many of our friends and family. Thank you Nargis, Zahid & Sam for all the hard work that you do, we really appreciate you all.

I know for all of parents most important is safe , loving and educational environment. The heartbreak of sending your child to be cared by someone else can be difficult. But don’t have to be .
I’m grateful in life for one thing mostly . Meeting incredible , passionate and loving people like you.
You are his parents as well . I feel heartbroken that this part of Amaru’s life is finishing :(
It was great part , and I’m so happy I found you x
All your care and support means everything to me . It made hardest times much easier , knowing that he is in good hands and having fun.
That I don’t have to worry that he will wake up with nightmares, or cry on arrival .
I love you with all my heart x and thank you for Amaru and all children you ever taken and will take care of. You not only making kids happy but parents feeling safe .
Giving five stars is unfair as you deserve all stars in the world

Hanane first started caring for my children 11 years ago. There's a big age gap between my youngest and her siblings, but when it was time for her to start childcare, Hanane was our obvious choice (our older daughter responding "That's great, because Hanane is like family.")
3 years on, our youngest has now "graduated" and will be moving on to big school. Hanane has provided a wonderful environment for our daughter to grow. She offers a great balance where she's able to give the children the individual attention they may need, whilst providing them with a vibrant, social environment. Activities are planned for every day of the week, whether it be going to the local playgrounds, stay and plays or a trip to the library - the children are always kept busy! There's also plenty of activities at home too, and Hanane provides delicious meals for the kids.
Hanane has cared for our children over the years as if they're her own, and my children are all very fond of her. I cannot thank her enough for the love and affection which she has given to our family, and I can't recommend her enough.
My daughter has been with Annie since she was 1. We have been delighted with the care she has received at Annie’s. It is a lovely warm home, and Annie and her team are kind and caring with the children - my daughter loves them all. They do fantastic, varied activities- learning made fun. They spend lots of time out doors, in the garden or in parks, and go on fantastic day trips. Annie goes above and beyond to make the children happy and support families. We’ve been so lucky to find her. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough!
Choosing a childminder for your child is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, and from the very first visit we knew Jusna was someone special. From the moment we stepped into her setting, she made us feel so welcome with her warmth, kindness and genuinely caring nature. It immediately felt like a home away from home.
Throughout our son’s time with Jusna, she went above and beyond in every way. She was always incredibly understanding and flexible. On the occasions when work commitments meant I needed to drop my son off earlier or collect him later than usual, Jusna was always happy to help, which made such a difference to our family.
The progress our son has made during his time with Jusna has been amazing. He has grown so much in confidence, become more independent, learnt so many new skills, and built wonderful friendships with the other children. Every day was filled with fun, learning and new experiences, and it was clear that he felt safe, happy and loved in her care. Jusna has a wonderful way of making every child feel like they belong, and our son truly felt at home with her.
As parents, the reassurance Jusna gave us was priceless. Her communication was excellent, keeping us updated with how our son’s day had gone and sharing the little moments that meant so much to us. We always felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care because we knew he was being looked after as if he were one of her own.
By the time our son’s last day came around, saying goodbye was genuinely emotional. Jusna is no longer just our son’s childminder—we truly feel she has become part of our family. If we are lucky enough to have another child in the future, there is no question whatsoever that we would choose Jusna again.
Thank you, Jusna, for your love, patience, dedication and everything you have done for our son. We will always be grateful for the positive impact you’ve had on his early years. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.
Tina and her amazing team have looked after both my daughters and I can't believe the time has come to bid you all a final goodbye. The team are well organised, provide amazing care, wonderful experiences both in and out of setting and Tina, Carol and Eloise have been treated like their own from day one. They have both grown in confidence and gained skills that will help their journey into school. We'll be forever grateful to you all. Thank you for everything xx
