Paula provided support for my family as a night doula the first month after my kid was born. She was very thoughtful and helped us navigating the newborn phase. We really appreciated her help, and can recommend!
I can genuinely say that Kinga is an exceptional childminder, and the care she provides is second to none. My youngest daughter was in her full-time care for over two years, and she still attends during the school holidays alongside her 10-year-old big sister. Going to Kinga’s is the absolute highlight of their year, and they both constantly count down the days until their next visit.
Kinga is incredibly skilled at catering activities to all ages, ensuring that both my younger and older daughter are equally engaged and happy. With a wonderful focus on being outdoors, every single day features a brilliantly thought-out activity, whether it's a trip to the farm, the zoo, music groups, or local parks.
Under Kinga’s care, my youngest has absolutely thrived, particularly in her independence, and I completely credit her wonderful development to her time spent at Little Seedlings. Kinga is so much more than just a ‘childminder’ to us. I always receive detailed daily updates, and my daughters have never shed a single tear when being dropped off—it truly is a home away from home.
Kinga is flexible, reliable, and a complete natural with children. I have never once had a single doubt about her devotion to the children in her care. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her.
Georgie provides the very best care, and home from home environment. Georgie looked after our eldest daughter and I would not have gone anywhere else for our youngest. She loves going to Georgies house and has come on leaps and bounds since being with her. It really does feel like we are dropping her to her second home. Could not recommend Georgie enough she is fantastic.
Emma looked after my son for just over two years; from 23 months old to when he was 4 years, and he only left because he started school.
He thoroughly enjoyed being at Emma’s and now that he’s left, he often mentions that he misses it and the other children in her care.
There are weekly playgroups that he attended while with Emma and he always looked forward to going.
I never had any doubts with leaving my son with Emma. If there were any problems or he was upset, she would always message me to provide me with an update. Would definitely recommend Emma as a childcare provider to anyone looking for a childminder.
I am so satisfied with the childcare from Sandy! My son is always happy to go and spend the day at the setting. Sandy will always keep me updated if she has any concerns with my son and occasionally will share activities the children are taking part in throughout the day. I am comfortable that my son is safe and happy throughout the day.

Emmy is the most incredible nanny. We have three children between the ages of 4 and 10 and have had Emmy on an ad hoc basis for almost a year. Our children love her and she always goes above and beyond just childcare making sure she reads with them and plays with them whilst somehow managing to leave my house tidier than she found it! We have had Emmy to babysit in the evenings and she always asks for a job to do when the children have gone to bed. For me it is normally several baskets of ironing and it amazes me that Emmy always has them finished by the time I get home. I wish I had known about Emmy when my children were babies as I imagine she is the most incredible doula.
Lisa provides a safe and warm home environment and has looked after our toddler for 3 days a week for the past 18 months. Lisa takes the toddlers and babies to playgroup every day to socialise, or when they are closed, to the local parks for a run around/picnics. She provides healthy varied meals. We wish her all the best as we move onto a nursery setting!
I honestly cannot recommend Kemi enough! She is simply the best, and I feel so fortunate to have found her.
Kemi doesn’t just look after my 2.5-year-old son; she genuinely invests in his learning and development. Since he started attending her nursery, I have seen such a wonderful improvement in his speech, numbers and phonics. It’s amazing to see how much he is learning and growing under her care.
What makes Kemi so special is that she goes above and beyond simply providing childcare. She creates a loving, nurturing and educational environment where children can truly thrive.
Knowing that my son is not only well cared for but also learning something new every day gives me so much peace of mind.
I couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Thank you, Kemi, for all the love, care and dedication you put into what you do. You are truly exceptional, and I would recommend you to any parent without hesitation! ❤️
Kinga has looked after all three of my children (boys) from 10 months of age until they were in reception. Her setting is like home from home, and the activities she arranges for the children are exception. She takes the children out exploring and offers a calm and friendly setting! Our children loved being with her and she remains in our children’s lives even after they have left her! She will be a friend to us always, and we would recommend her in a heartbeat! 💓

Hazel cared for our son for three years, from when he was 12 months old until his fourth birthday. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Hazel creates a true home-from-home environment and genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after. Our son would mention Hazel in the same conversations as his grandparents, which shows just how much he saw her as an extension of our family.Hazel provides a wonderful setting, with plenty of toys, educational activities, and a large, lovely garden. She also regularly organised outings and trips, which our son would always come home excitedly telling us about. She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which was incredibly helpful for our family, and she consistently provided nutritious meals that our son thoroughly enjoyed.Hazel's wealth of experience was invaluable to us. She supported us through potty training and was also the first person to notice that our son may have a hearing issue, something we had not recognised ourselves. Following her recommendation, he was tested and diagnosed with glue ear, which could easily have gone unnoticed for much longer otherwise.It is clear that Hazel genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in the care she provides every day. We couldn't have asked for a better childminder and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and highly experienced childcare professional.
We have reason to suspect some suspicious activities by this member.
After initiating the contact herself, we thought Laura was seriously seeking nannying work. We made the necessary arrangement and set a suitable time to talk to her over the phone/ WhatsApp which she confirmed was convenient for her. She failed to answer at the agreed time and didn't give any excuse or explanation afterwards. We don't know why she behaved in that way deliberately wasting our time and effort in search for a suitable nanny for our child.
We honestly couldn’t ask for a better team and setting to look after our daughter. From the moment you walk in, the setting is so welcoming, warm and full of love and happiness. It’s lovely knowing she gets to spend her days somewhere she feels so happy and settled.
Clair, Nicky, Ethan and Maria really do go above and beyond to make sure our daughter has the most amazing experiences, creating special memories and giving her opportunities to try new things. Whether it’s taking her swimming, planning exciting activities, creating crafts or simply making sure she has the most amazing food, everything is thought about and nothing is ever too much.
It’s such a comforting feeling knowing that when we’re not with our little girl, she is being so loved, cared for and looked after. We can see how happy she is through the communication we have daily and that means absolutely everything to us!
We are so grateful for everything you do for our baby. Thank you for making her days so special and for treating her with so much love. We honestly couldn’t recommend you enough! 🫶

Kinga provides a loving family care environment. She gives the childten fantastic life experoences, learning through play and nutures them. Each day we get a daily breakdown of what they have done, eaten and how they have slept along with beautiful photos. We count oursleves incrediblu fortunate to have got a place with Kinga and have seen our son flourish with her care, kindness and love.
Vivian has been absolutely wonderful with my son. She is such a kind, patient and attentive babysitter, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She is very loving, responsible and always makes sure my son feels comfortable, happy and safe in her care.
She takes the time to engage with him, play with him and attend to his needs. It is clear that she genuinely enjoys working with children, and her warm and gentle nature makes it so easy to trust her. She is also reliable, professional and always keeps me reassured that my son is in good hands.

Liam will have been with us for a year in December, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. We are putting our little boy into nursery, which is the only reason we no longer need childcare. Liam is amazing and has built an incredible bond with our son. He is reliable, caring and always goes above and beyond.
One of Liam’s biggest strengths is how creative he is at keeping our little boy entertained and engaged. He is always coming up with fun, imaginative activities, from sensory play and creative projects to little obstacle courses and activities that help develop his skills. He also plays the guitar, sings and makes up songs with him, which is such a lovely and unique way of keeping him entertained. He puts so much thought into finding new ways to keep him busy, learning and having fun, which we really appreciate.
We have always felt completely comfortable leaving our little boy in his care, and it’s clear how much he genuinely cares about him. He keeps him happy, entertained and engaged, and we know our son has had such a lovely time with him. His development has come on so much during the time Liam has been with us, thanks to the attention, engagement and focus he gives him. He really takes the time to support him with his milestones and encourage him to learn new things, which has made such a positive difference.
We feel very lucky to have had Liam as our nanny and would happily recommend him to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, creative and brilliant with children.
Kay has been an absolutely amazing childminder for my 3 year old daughter. She started when she was 1.5 years old as she struggled to settle into nursery. Straight away bonded with Kay and was happily going in in the mornings. Lots of pictures from lovely days out and has made friends as well. Kay has been incredible for helping the confidence of my little girl and providing and safe and clean home away from home. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad we found Eunice at Youngsta. My daughter is quite reserved and observant, and she can take a while to open up to people. But once she's comfortable, a beautiful personality shines through, and Eunice saw that on her very first day.
When we visited, my daughter was in her usual reserved mode, so Eunice expected it to take a while to break the ice. But within 5 minutes of me leaving her at her settling in session, she was completely at ease. Eunice was surprised, and honestly so was I. That tells me how safe she feels there.
Drop off has always been easy, with no tears or fuss. On the way there, there's a metal horse on a roundabout. As soon as she spots it she shouts "horse!", then she starts saying "Eunice!" because she knows where we're going. At pick up, she's always pulling me into the playroom to show me something or asking me to play too.
Eunice is warm, patient and kind, and she keeps us well updated on how the day went. She is also very flexible and was happy to fit around the days we needed. The home is clean, welcoming and full of fun things to do.
I'd highly recommend Eunice and Youngsta to any parent looking for a childminder.
I contacted Maryam to look after 3 of my children aged 8, 4 and 2. She replied within 24 hours and was more than happy to look after my kids. Last minute I decided for me and my kids to meet Maryam and she was very accommodating about it and we all really liked her instantly. After meeting her my kids were extremely excited to see her again. The day I required her to look after my children, my 8 year old was poorly. I informed Maryam and she reassured me that she would take extra care of him and discussed with me the types of food to give him. Later on the day she provided me with an update on the kids as well which did put me at ease. When I went to collect my kids my younger two were fast asleep and eldest was watching TV. We chatted whilst the children were relaxing which was very pleasant. Once my children woke up they were very comfortable around her giving her hugs like they knew her from before, my kids refer to her as Khala (mums sister). I would definitely be using Maryam again and my kids are eager to meet her again. She's extremely professional, friendly and helpful. The first thing I noticed was her house was spotless clean which i really liked about her with my kids being around. She's simply amazing! Thank you so much for everything you did for my children.
Bev was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in at the very last minute to babysit my son, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was so understanding, accommodating and genuinely helpful. Even though my son was already asleep for most of the evening, she was incredibly intentional and took the time to ask questions about him, his routine and his needs. It was clear that she genuinely cared and wanted to make sure he was comfortable and well looked after. Everything went smoothly, there were absolutely no issues, and I felt completely at ease. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, reliable and attentive. We would absolutely love to have her again!
