My son started with Clare at 1 and stayed with her until he was 3 and we moved away. We feel so blessed to have found Clare. Our son absolutely loved his time with Clare, lots of cuddles, fun and activities in a relaxing welcoming environment. It truly felt like a home from home for him, which we loved. Clare also looked after my older daughter in school holidays who equally loved her time with Clare, always coming home with crafts they'd made and a big smile on her face. Clare is an amazing childminder who genuinely cares for all the children in her care. Thanks for everything Clare, we still miss you lots xx
The girls are literally amazing, Joel has come on so much with these two. Both so practical, fun and keep the learning standards high, always updated with pictures and messages in regards to what they’re up to. You can tell these girls truly adore their kiddies aswell which is a bonus it’s not just a job to them! Couldn’t recommend them enough 🤍🌟
Julie has been an incredible childminder for our son over the past year, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where he felt happy, secure, and excited to learn and explore.
One of the things our son loved most was the variety of daily outings, whether it was trips to playgroups, the park, or the library. Julie always made sure the children had enriching experiences and plenty of opportunities to socialise, play, and develop new skills.
Her level of care and attention is outstanding, and the safety and wellbeing of the children is clearly her top priority at all times. It is obvious how much she genuinely cares about every child she looks after.
Our son was genuinely sad to leave, which says everything about the bond he built with Julie and how much he loved spending time with her. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our family and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lisa was the best choice we could have made for our son. ☺️She has been taking care of him since he was 9 months old, and now he is 2 years old.
Lisa has truly been like a second mother to him. Every single day, he walked through her door with the biggest smile on his face, happy and excited to see her. She created such a warm, loving, and safe environment where he always felt cared for and happy.
As parents, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is loved and well looked after, and Lisa gave us complete peace of mind.
My 3-year-old daughter has been attending Shabana’s setting since January this year, after her previous childminder had to close her business. Shabana provides a clean, tidy, and welcoming environment with a wide range of toys and activities for the children to enjoy. She keeps me regularly updated on my daughter’s engagement and development, and often shares photos throughout the day. Most importantly, Kaia is always happy and excited to go to her, which gives me great peace of mind.
We have had the best care for our daughter and we are so grateful.Jophi was a second home for her.From nappies to panties,crawling to walking and running around.everday she came with lessons learnt and laughes shared.Thank you so much for the beautiful experience
Before our wedding, we were quite hesitant about booking a wedding nanny. As parents, we felt guilty at the thought of handing over some of the responsibility for our son on such an important day and wondered whether it was really necessary. Looking back now, it was one of the best decisions we made. Having someone dedicated to caring for him meant we could fully enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing he was happy, safe, and having just as much fun as we were.
We cannot recommend Kellie highly enough! From our very first warm-up sessions, she built such a lovely relationship with our son and immediately put us at ease. Seeing how comfortable and happy he was with her before the wedding gave us complete confidence that he was in the best hands.
On the day itself, she blended seamlessly into our celebrations, allowing us to fully enjoy both our church ceremony and evening reception without any stress or worry. She kept our little boy happy, engaged, and entertained throughout the day, while also mingling naturally with our guests and fitting effortlessly into the occasion.
When our son joined us for his meal, she was still on hand to offer support—not only to us, but even to another parent who needed a helping hand. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Knowing our son was so well cared for allowed us to be fully present for every special moment of our wedding day.
Thank you for helping make our wedding day so relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Kellie to any family looking for childcare on their special day.
We’ve loved having Frankie to help us with our newborn so I could focus on our 18 month old during the post nursery tea/bath/bed routine and on Fridays. She’s been really knowledgeable and has slotted in to our family life so well. she’s been flexible and accommodating of our requests. She’s got our newborn taking a bottle and engages so well with our toddler, as well as helping out around the house with general tasks such as laundry taking the load off me.

Shona was absolutely fabulous with our 18-month-old. She is so kind, warm and friendly, and she has such a lovely calm demeanour with him. It was wonderful to see how caring and engaging she was, and it’s clear she has a great deal of experience with young children. We’re so grateful to have found Shona and are very much looking forward to more time with her in the future. Highly recommend!
When we first started working with Jade, our daughter was struggling with significant separation anxiety and attachment challenges. She found being held by anyone other than her father and I incredibly difficult.
From the very beginning, Jade approached her with extraordinary patience, warmth and emotional intelligence. She took the time to build genuine trust and a secure relationship, always responding to our daughter with kindness, consistency and sensitivity. It was clear that she understood the importance of attachment and emotional security, tailoring her approach to our daughter's individual needs and helping her feel safe, seen and understood.
Over time, we saw a remarkable transformation. Our daughter became more confident, more independent and far more comfortable separating from us. Most importantly, she felt secure. Thanks in large part to the strong foundation Jade helped create, she was able to settle successfully into nursery, taking the time to set the pace and build trusting relationships with staff and embrace a huge transition that had once felt overwhelming.
What made Jade truly exceptional, however, was that her support extended beyond our daughter. As a mother navigating a challenging period, I found Jade's calm presence, reassurance and understanding invaluable. She never made us feel judged and always approached both parent and child with compassion, empathy and encouragement. At a time when I often questioned whether I was doing enough, Jade provided not only practical support but emotional support too, helping me feel more confident and capable as a parent.
Beyond her professional skills, Jade became a trusted and valued part of our family and is now someone I consider a valued friend. She communicated brilliantly, consistently went above and beyond, and brought a level of care and dedication that is incredibly rare to find.
The impact she has had on our daughter's confidence, emotional wellbeing and development, as well as my own not to mention the care and support she showed our family as a whole, cannot be overstated. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Jade in their lives, and we will always be grateful for the care, expertise and kindness she brought to ours.

Emma came to us when our daughter was just under two weeks old. We had originally agreed a later start date but as being first time parents we realised that we needed support sooner! Emma was amazing, her advice, knowledge and support was invaluable. Our little girl loved her and took to her straight away. She was so helpful with my breastfeeding journey, always making sure I was well hydrated, giving me the advice I needed especially when the hospital and midwife’s advice was so conflicting. Emma also provided me with much needed emotional support. Can’t recommend Emma enough. We will miss her!

Rozely is such a great childminder, she has been caring for my little boy Wade for a while now and I have noticed how much he has evolved since being with Rozely. He loves going to her every morning and especially enjoys playing with Rozely's children. I cannot express in writing how grateful I am for the immense support that Rozely has given Wade and couldn't recommend her services more. You can rest assured that Rozely will take great care of your child, I never once had to worry, as I knew Wade was in great hands.
I can’t praise Tracy highly enough. Both my boys have attended her setting. We chose Tracy as we wanted a home from home setting and that’s exactly what Tracy provides. She’s so nurturing , she treats the children like part of her family. She has a lovely home and outdoor area. The children also go on loads of trips . They have a lot of outdoor time. You get regular photos of what they have been up to, and so many crafted items which are so special. Tracy excels herself especially at Christmas, the Christmas crafts are wonderful. So much thought goes into everything and nothing is too much trouble. Both my boys have loved going to her, and very quickly settled in. Most importantly, I have never worried when the kids are with her, I know they are in very safe hands. She has become a friend over the years and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Sara as our night nanny supporting us from our baby’s birth until 6 months old. Her help was absolutely invaluable during those early months, and honestly, I don’t know how we would have managed without her.
She was caring, reliable, knowledgeable, and always brought a calm and reassuring presence during what can be a very challenging and exhausting time for new parents. Her experience with newborns gave us so much confidence, and she was always happy to offer guidance and support whenever needed.
Knowing our baby was in such safe and capable hands allowed us to get much-needed rest and made a huge difference to our family’s wellbeing. She quickly became a trusted part of our support system, and her dedication, kindness, and professionalism exceeded all our expectations.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional night nanny especially newborn and infant care. She played such an important role in helping us navigate those first six months, and we will always be grateful for her support.
Vesna was the first person I felt I could trust with my toddler, upon first interaction she was very professional and clear with communication. It put me at ease straight away. She is so engaged with my child and they had such a great time, we luckily still get to see her around even though our situation changed with my child going into nursery. Highly recommend. You will be so lucky to have her!

We consistently experienced negative communication around normal baby routines, especially sleep patterns, rather than supportive childcare solutions.
If baby isn’t sleeping in the time she decided as nap time, she will complaint saying THEY ARE NOT GETTING REST. She aint flexible at all.
Do we play for them to rest or for our babies to look after?
Instead of feeling reassured as parents, it was always otherwise.
Childcare should focus on supporting a child’s needs with care, patience, and flexibility. Unfortunately, our expectations in these areas were not met.
Communication throughout the process was also disappointing. Important matters regarding notice periods were unclear. The final termination communication being sent immediately after pick-up via message, rather than discussed professionally face-to-face, felt particularly unprofessional. She terminated the contract without giving any notice.
We were also disappointed by comments implying our dietary requirements were an inconvenience. Despite we regularly providing our child’s meals and snacks ourselves, communication around food concerns and menu queries was often ignored. SHE IS NOT FLEXIBLE WITH ANYTHING. She has her own rules and all babies cannot follow same - she doesn’t know this.
After speaking with other parents and comparing experiences with other childcare providers, we feel confident that this setting was not the right fit for our family.
We believe parents deserve transparency, professionalism, respectful communication, and genuine support for their child’s individual needs. Sadly, this was not our experience.
We immediately change to a professional nursery and could see drastic development in our child. This made us happy and my baby always came with a smile from the new nursery from week 1 which was always otherwise at Rashi’s even after 1.5 months.
We would not recommend this setting based on our personal experience.
I agreed with her to babysit my boy for 6 days, but after working only one day, she informed me that she could not continue because the taxi costs were too high for her. This left me in a very difficult position, as I was unable to find a replacement at short notice and I have an important exam coming up. While I understand that circumstances can change, I was disappointed that the commitment was not fulfilled.
