Sara has been looking after our three children (all under 6 at time of starting) for the last 6 months (a mix of wrap around/after school care and half days when pre-school is closed) and we've loved having her with us!
She is a kind-hearted individual and has always been ready to step in when we needed her. Sara is firm, but fair and radiates this calm demeanour (which I find incredibly with 3 energetic and sometimes sassy children), but which really helps when the children need to settle down ahead of bed time. She is creative and loves sharing this joy with the children through outings, singing in the car or before bedtime etc. On the few occasions one of us has made it home early, its been a joy hearing the children run, play and giggle with her.. Sara comes with an unparalleled amount of experience which was very apparent from the first moment we met her. Our children will (like any child) push the boundaries sometimes or turn off their listening ears, but Sara has seen it all before and is not phased... she remains calm, polite and will explain and educate the children why their behaviour is inappropriate. In summary, she is absolutely amazing and we are lucky to have found her!

Ana has been incredible with Aiko. She’s warm, caring, and genuinely brilliant with children. Communication is great, her home is clean and safe, and Aiko always comes home happy and well-looked after. I’m really grateful for her support — highly recommend.
In the past 12 months, both of my children have been in Annie’s care. She has helped them to grow and flourish into the amazing little people they are today.
One of my children still goes to Annie’s regularly and he is always so happy after a day of playing with his friends and exploring!
My other child often goes during half term still when Annie has space to fit her in!
They both adore Annie and she is so lovely and amazing with them!
The food she serves always sounds delicious, she tends to medical needs (my son has asthma) and is always so attentive.
I love receiving pictures and updates throughout the day.
Annie shows such kindness and care for the children which is just so sweet to see as it helps them to feel comfortable in her home and they love having cuddles when it suits them!
I cannot recommend Annie enough as she has been such an angel in accommodating our families needs and always giving as much notice as possible of any holidays or known closures
“I would rate this childminder very highly, as she is kind and supportive, consistently offering a wide range of engaging activities for the children. Her level of professionalism is excellent, and she creates a safe, nurturing environment where children thrive.
Peace of Mind Every Drop-Off – Teecee is Amazing
I always feel completely at ease leaving my daughter with Teecee. From the moment we arrive, she makes her feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Teecee is so warm, patient, and genuinely caring—our little one instantly bonds with her every time.
She’s incredibly reliable and flexible, always accommodating our schedule and communicating clearly about the day. It’s obvious she loves what she does, and she pays attention to every little detail to make sure my daughter is happy and well cared for.
Knowing that my daughter is in such loving hands makes drop-offs stress-free and gives me total peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend Teecee highly enough to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and amazing babysitter

Sue came to work for us when my first baby was 6 months old, and I very quickly had another, so she found herself looking after my 2 under 2 before very long. From the word go, I had full confidence in Sue. She is incredibly capable, wise and unfailingly kind. She respected my ideas as a new mum, and gave gentle, sensible advice when asked. She worked for us for 5 years, was punctual, reliable and flexible, and I honestly think if we hadn’t moved abroad, I’d still be finding a way to keep her. My babies are now 11 and 12, and Sue is still part of our family. I’m happy to chat to anyone who is lucky enough to be considering hiring Sue. Please ask her for my phone number.
I found Zafreen through childcare.co.uk and my child within 5 minutes of meeting her was wanting to play and felt comfortable. We have been attending Zafreens childcare for the last 7 weeks 3 times a week and I could not recommend her enough. My child is making so much progress and its all down to Zafreen. I recently also used Zafreens child minding services outside of her usual hours for the entire weekend as I knew her and my child had a good relationship and just like she does when there during the day she updated me regularly. I can tell my child just feels so at home with her. It was a god send to be able to have her watch my child and not have to worry! You will not be disappointed if you send your child to Zafeeen for their daytime hours or her out of hours care either. Thank you Zafreen
I am absolutely delighted with the care Amanda provides; she is incredibly warm and genuinely cares for the children.She made settling in my daughter such an easy and relaxed experience. Her setting provides a safe, stimulating, and fun environment where children can blossom and grow. I highly recommend her to any parent.
My 3 kids have been going to Shauna for quite a while now and honestly you can see how much fun they have and how they light up when they talk about their day at Jumping J'ollies.
Their week is so varied and includes going out and about, cooking, experimenting, gathering items for activities and working together on challenges.
My kids come home with facts that they’re soo excited to share and they’re learning loads from numbers, writing, phonics, colours, shapes etc!
Shauna and her family do an amazing job to give the kids a really good experience whilst also teaching them life skills like cooking!
They enjoy the food and love the activities and have a real bond with Shauna and Genie which is amazing.
I highly recommend their service!!
She’s had my little one for two months now and she’s gone above and beyond catering to each and every child’s needs.
The facility’s are amazing with all the toys and games the kids would want aswell as a huge garden with all sorts of stuff for the kids.
My 1 year old always walks in happily and loves to see her in the mornings.
Gemma has been looking after my daughter since she was 10 months old. My daughter loves Gemma. She always walks in happy and keen to go in and play. Gemma sends lots of photos during the day so we can see what our daughter is doing. She keeps us updated on everything, which is very reassuring. Our daughter has come on such a long way since starting, thanks to Gemma. She’s also great with advice, as first time parents, her advice and support has been fab. She is amazing as a childminder, would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend our childminder highly enough! She has been looking after my 7-month-old baby with such warmth, patience, and genuine care. From the very first day, she created a calm, nurturing environment where my little one instantly felt comfortable and happy. He is so active and full of enjoyment whenever I pick him up, and I can see that he is growing very well and learning new things at his stage is the fundamental part of it all. Little Lah Lah is perfect for him. She pays close attention to my baby’s routine and developmental needs, and I’m always impressed by the way she conduct her settings and stimulation perfect for his age. I receive regular updates which gives me so much peace of mind. What truly sets her apart is how naturally she connects with children. My baby absolutely lights up when he sees her, and that alone speaks volumes. Knowing he is safe, loved, and well cared for has made all the difference for me. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, attentive, and truly passionate about childcare, she is everything you could hope for in a childminder. We feel incredibly lucky to have her around our baby.
Lorraine looked after my som Za’Kai for over a year, in which his development in all areas such as speech, motor skills and social skills far surpassed that of what a child his age should be hitting.
The comfort I felt every day knowing Za’Kai was going to a loving, warm setting to this day is still unmatched!
Lorraine cooks fresh food daily for the children (most of the time I was jealous that I wasn’t getting any!), encourages interactive play both indoors and out and meticulously documents key updates so that parents are always updated with what their children are doing.
Lorraine is truly an angel in childminder form! I would recommend Lorraine to any parent who is looking for childcare assistance
I have Maria come several times a week to care for my little one while I work.
I know I can depend on her, and on the occasions where I sometimes needed short-notice help, she was happy to.
She's very affectionate with my little one, very carinosa, very personable; she plays with him and sings to him and dances with him (he's a 1 year old). She co-sits with my mother and my mother absolutely adores her as well. I love that she has a can-do, willing to help attitude.
She was a bit shy at the beginning, but is very kind hearted and friendly.
She's also offered to cook mexican food, but we've not had the chance to coordinate that yet.
We are leaving for a few months, so I am writing this review in the hopes you dear parent are reading this and willing to give her a chance, as she'll have more time on her hands, and because she's really a nice girl.

Theadora was brilliant with our 2 children (3 and 1 at the time she was with us, bridging a gap after a house move before they started at a local nursery). She was reliable, calm, engaging and responsible. She managed very gently but effectively to break through the barriers with our sometimes shy little boy, coming up with games to draw him into play with her which he still asks to play now! Would thoroughly recommend Theadora to anyone looking for childcare.
I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the amazing care my son has received. From the very first day, the Dawn has been incredibly welcoming, kind, and supportive. My son always felt safe, happy, and excited to go, which means the world to me as a parent.The environment is warm, clean, and nurturing, and there is always a great variety of activities that support learning, social skills, and creativity. I have seen so much positive development in my son thanks to the patience and dedication shown every day.
Communication has always been excellent. I was kept updated on his day, meals, activities, and any little achievements. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.Thank you for all your hard work, love, and care. We are truly grateful, and I couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for my son.
Olivia has been incredibly professional and attentive! My 18 month old is usually shy around new faces, but Olivia made her feel at ease straight away and they have been getting along great! Her kindness and playfulness puts my mind at ease when leaving my little one in her care ❤️
GMB childminder is exactly what my child has needed. I was advised that TT needed a more intimate and 1 to 1 setting as she wasn't settling in well with her previous settings. GMB was an easy choice our daughter is thriving and slowly settling in but making so much progress. Cotema has this calm caring nature that our daughter instantly felt as she was comfortable playing when we visited. Cotema takes the time to get to know her and uses the things she loves to settle her if needed and teach her through play. Cotema has even given our child a nickname its so cute. She is the full package and we are over the moon with her. Thankyou GMB love paige wes & TT
