We couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives from Lorna & Michelle. He’s settled into their care incredibly quickly, which gave us confidence from the start, and we feel completely relaxed knowing he is safe, happy and cared for like family.
They provide a great mix of activities and outings, and they regularly taking him to parks, soft plays and age appropriate classes like rhyme time. They also put a lot of thought into activities at home, coming up with ideas tailored to his interests and development.
We really appreciate the regular photo updates and messages, which keep us involved in his day and reassured that he’s having a great time.
Most importantly, our son is genuinely happy in their care, and we know he is being looked after with patience, care and attention. They genuinely feel like people we’ve known forever. We feel very lucky to have found such lovely childminders and would happily recommend them to other parents.
Outstanding Childminder – We Could Not Have Asked for Better
Louise has been caring for our son Joshua since he was just one year old, and as he now moves on to nursery at three years old, we feel incredibly grateful for the huge impact she has had on his life.
From the very beginning, Louise created a warm, safe and nurturing environment where Joshua felt happy, secure and loved. She has a wonderful ability to understand each child as an individual and helped Joshua grow in confidence, curiosity and independence. Under her care, he has thrived and developed so many important skills that have prepared him for his next adventure at nursery.
What has always stood out to us is how much genuine care and dedication Louise puts into everything she does. She has helped Joshua learn about the world around him through play, outings, creative activities and everyday experiences. He has formed lovely friendships within her small group, and it has been a joy to watch him grow alongside children who have become such an important part of his early years.
Communication has always been excellent, and we have always felt reassured knowing Joshua was in such capable and caring hands. Louise goes above and beyond, treating the children as if they were her own and creating a real sense of belonging and community.
Leaving Louise is incredibly emotional for us because she has been such a special part of our family's life over the last two years. We know that much of the confident, happy and kind little boy Joshua is today is thanks to the love, support and guidance he has received from her.
We would recommend Louise without hesitation to any parent looking for a caring, professional and truly exceptional childminder. She has given Joshua the very best start in life, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for him. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We found Amanda through this site and feel blessed to have had our son cared for by Amanda and Karen for the last three years.
The facilities they have in a home from home setting are brilliant. They take the children to so many different places and give them wonderful experiences.
They have helped us navigate first time parenthood and the challenges it brings. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough and are only leaving as our son is starting school.

We have been using Justyna as a childminder for our three-year-old son since January, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! My son absolutely loves her and genuinely looks forward to spending time at her place every single day.
Justyna is incredible at tailoring activities to meet the needs and interests of different children. Her daily setups are so engaging, creative, and varied. He especially loves the sensory play she prepares—like water and sand activities that give the kids fantastic hands-on experiences—as well as the trips to the farm where they get to interact with animals.
I am so grateful to have found someone so caring, dedicated, and thoughtful. If you are looking for an amazing, reliable, and nurturing childminder for your little one, Justyna is truly the best!

Nicola worked with our family for our daughter's first year in school and provided excellent care. Our daughter was always happy and well cared for, and had so much fun with Nicola and her kids. She was reliable and communicated well with us, provided safe transportation from school, and an array of activities for our daughter to enjoy.

Sharon and Libby have provided excellent care for our two children over the last 4 years. A very safe setting, with a small group, allowing that 1-1 interaction that nurseries are unable to provide. Excellent communication skills and plenty of activities on offer every day, both creative and with days out. Plenty of daily updates and photos to keep your mind at rest!

We are so grateful for the wonderful care our son received from his childminder. He stayed with Anna for almost a year, and we could not have wished for a better person to look after him.
From the very beginning, Anna was warm, caring, patient and professional. My child always felt safe, happy and comfortable in Anna care, and he truly enjoyed his time with her. It was such a relief for us as parents to know that he was in such loving and capable hands.
Anna always kept us updated about his day, activities, meals and how he was doing. She provided a lovely, welcoming environment where my son could learn, play and develop while receiving lots of attention and encouragement.
We have seen such a positive change and development in our son during his time with Anna, and we are incredibly thankful for everything she has done for him.
We would highly recommend Anna to any parents looking for a kind, trustworthy and dedicated childminder. Anna has been a very important part of our son early years, and we will always remember her with great appreciation. ❤️
Thank you so much for everything! We will miss you! ❤️

We honestly couldn’t recommend Juli enough! ❤️
Elizabeth has come on leaps and bounds since being with her, and it’s been amazing to see how much she’s grown in confidence and developed her speech!
She is such a lovely, caring and friendly person and you can really tell how much she genuinely cares about the children in her care.
Elizabeth is always so happy to go, which says everything!
We’ve had such a positive experience and feel so lucky to have found her. I genuinely couldn’t say a bad word, she’s absolutely fantastic! 🥰❤️
Had a positive experience. She is dbs checked which I needed and willing to work odd hours and accomodated my son's vegan diet. Ended up not needing her help as my family stepped up but would book again and reach out to Jo first if I needed a childminder again. My son had a good time and I received photo updates of him playing. She was willing to have my son at her house or mine
My son has been looked after by Claire for a year now and it's the best decision I could of made for him.
Claire is kind, caring and personal when it comes to looking after your children and has heaps of experience and knowledge of children's needs.
My son has come on leaps and bounds since being in Claires care and seeing all the great activities they do in and out the house has been so lovely.
I would recommend Claire to anyone looking for a great childminder in the area.
Cannot thank you enough! 🥰

I can't quite believe we've reached the end of our time with Mandy. Both my children went to Mandy's lovely home setting and now, after 6 years, we've said goodbye for the last time as my youngest starts school. Both my children loved it at Mandy's and she has been amazing with them and incredibly reliable over the years. We shall miss you Mandy, thank you for everything you have done!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our son has received since starting with Laura in October 2024. From the very beginning he has settled in very quickly and he has loved going ever since.
What makes Laura's care truly special is the warm, welcoming and homely environment she provides. Her own children, especially her son, have completely “adopted” our son and made him feel like a part of their family. It is lovely to see the bond they have developed, and it means so much to us as parents knowing that he is cared for with such genuine warmth and affection.
Laura provides a wonderful variety of experiences for the children, regularly taking them out to places such as soft play and organising fun, creative and themed activities. She makes a real effort to incorporate national celebrations and special occasions, making the activities both enjoyable and educational.
We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos she sends us. Being able to see what our son has been doing during the day gives us peace of mind and allows us to feel involved in his experiences, even when we are at work.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loves being there. He has formed such a strong bond with Laura and her family, and we can see how much he is learning, growing and enjoying himself in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing and engaging childminder. We feel very lucky to have found her and are incredibly grateful for the love, care and wonderful experiences she gives our son.
Our son went to LoLo’s when he was 8 months old. He has been consistently nurtured, loved, and entertained. He has grown up there and it’s become a second home. We also hugely appreciate that Lorena has kept him for evenings when we’ve needed it and even given him bath and bed time at her house. He loves her and all the staff and we’re extremely grateful we found them. Highly highly recommend.
Lou has looked after both my children. My son from 10 weeks old until 9yo and my daughter from 5 months old until 5yo. I could not have asked for a more lovely, kind and caring person to take care of my children. Both have thrived and were always so happy to go (sometimes is was a struggle getting them to leave 😆). I could not recommend Lou enough.
We are incredibly grateful to have had Precious look after our son, who has autism and is non-verbal. She is energetic, patient, friendly, and truly wonderful. Our son absolutely adored her. She would always take him to the park after school and prepare snacks for him.
While there were some occasional lapses in punctuality and attendance, she always made an effort to prove that she is responsible and reliable. Her outstanding care, kindness, and excellence shone through every day. We truly appreciate the warmth and dedication she has shown for our child.
We recently parted ways far too soon due to a change in our circumstances, but we would have loved to keep her! We highly recommend her to any new family looking for a warm, dedicated, and loving nanny.

Charlotte has been doing some part-time nannying for our infant son Lucian since early 2026, and has been absolutely fantastic. Lucian warmed to her immediately, and it was clear from the very beginning that she has a lovely, natural way with little ones.
Charlotte is warm, caring, knowledgable and incredibly easy to get along with, as well as being an excellent communicator. She has always been punctual, reliable and completely dependable, and we have felt very comfortable and confident with Lucian being in her care. She's been a genuinely lovely person to have around and has made this stage of our childcare journey so much easier.
Charlotte was only ever due to be with us until Lucian started nursery, and we’re very sorry to see her go - any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. We really couldn’t have asked for more from a nanny.

My son has been going to Zaytouna's Childcare 3 times a week for the past 12 months. Zulekha and her family are incredibly caring and kind - I am so pleased we found her. My son was joined at my hip for the first 12 months of his life - I was worried about him going to childcare at the age of 1 - however, I have never had a problem dropping him off - he always seems happy to go. To me this is telling of how warm and welcoming they are. To my family - Zulekha is known as the baby whisperer. She always cooks the children delicious home made meals and is always taking them out on little adventures. Her and her family are always willing to help us, as much as they can, with the crazy logistics of London plus two children.
Couldn't recommend Zaytouna's more!
