We honestly couldn’t recommend Severine and Roche enough. They have looked after our son for the past two years, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had them as such an important part of his life.
From day one, they have provided him with so much love, care, patience and encouragement. He has always been so happy and excited to go to them, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was somewhere he felt safe, settled and genuinely cared for.
They have helped him grow in confidence, independence and character, and we have seen such a lovely difference in him over the two years.
We are especially grateful for all the little things they have done, the memories they have created and the fun they have given
him.
We will always be grateful for everything they have done for our son and for the wonderful start they have given him.
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn’t have wished for anyone better to care for him
Words cannot express how grateful we are to Giggles. Our son started here when he turned 1, and now, at 4 years old, he is leaving to start reception as a confident, happy little boy. Over the last three years, Giggles provided far more than just childcare; they gave him a true home-from-home and a second family.As a parent, dropping your child off can be daunting, but I never spent a single moment worrying. I always knew he was being loved and cared for exactly as I would care for him myself. Even when he was poorly, they went above and beyond—offering immense support, checking in on his recovery, and making sure he felt safe and comforted. They are incredibly responsible, deeply caring, and genuinely wonderful people. We are so sad to leave, but we highly recommend them to any family looking for a nurturing, loving environment.
Very caring childminders who are brilliant at allowing children to explore the world safely and give them lots of personal care and attention. It’s been great for our child so far to learn and develop this way. Lots of fun photos and content is shared and we really recommend them to other parents.
Leaving my son at 10 months was the hardest thing I ever had to do but Debs and Barbara made it very easy, he has absolutely loved him time with them and we are so sad he is leaving them (pre-school and a house move) we can’t thank them enough for taking our son into their home as one of their own and helping him develop with so many skills such as social, language etc

We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was caring, patient, kind and incredibly attentive, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about my child’s happiness and wellbeing.
She created such a warm, safe and welcoming environment, which gave us complete peace of mind. Communication was always excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure my child was comfortable, happy and well looked after.
I’m so grateful for all the love, care and effort she put in. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, caring and reliable. Absolutely amazing — thank you for everything! ❤️
We love you Nisa

Thanks Soonu for giving such a warm, nurturing and safe environment for my both daughters. I highly recommend Soonu and ' Happy Hours'. My both daughters have gone to Soonu in their growing years . One is now 16 and other one is 7 ( she still goes to Soonu) and she has always nurtured them with care and love which is so important and peaceful for a working mother. Food provided is very good and home made and children are involved in activities. Without her support it could not have been an easier journey. Thanks Soonu, Harjit and Damini for being such amazing aunties for my daughters.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Siew Hoon and would highly recommend her to any family.
Siew Hoon is a fantastic nanny—she is incredibly organised, always plans ahead, and puts thought into each day’s activities and routine. She is proactive and always thinks one step ahead, which made everything run so smoothly.
She is also very patient, kind, and friendly. She has a calm and caring nature, and our daughter always felt happy and comfortable with her. Siew Hoon is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the children she looks after.
We’re very grateful for all her help and the care she has given our family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Julie looked after both of our daughters over a seven-year period, from 2019 to 2026, and we honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better. Leaving your children to return to work is horrible, but Julie made the whole process so much easier, especially after we'd had issues with two previous childminders.
From the moment each of our girls started with her, they were happy, settled and excited to go each day. Julie created such a warm, caring and homely environment, which was exactly what we wanted instead of a nursery setting. She took the time to get to know them as individuals, encouraging them to try new things, build friendships and grow in confidence. She also worked closely with us to support key milestones such as potty training.
Julie has played a huge part in both of their early years and in helping them become the fierce, independent young girls they are today (this is both a blessing and curse lol). She encouraged them to be confident, curious and kind, while always providing the reassurance and support they needed.
The girls loved the activities and outings including from playgroups and library visits to crafts, outdoor play and days out bowling and to the cinema. She regularly met up with other childminders and their children, providing further opportunities to develop their social skills. Even during the Covid pandemic, when our eldest was with her, there was always an activity, adventure or day out planned.
Julie was brilliant at keeping us updated through messages and phots. We always knew how the girls were getting on and felt comfortable raising any questions or concerns with her.
Julie has been a huge part of our family life, and saying goodbye was so hard (more so for me than the girls!). Both girls have wonderful memories of their time with her, and we will always be grateful for the care, patience and support she gave them.
Julie is amazing, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful childminder. We feel very lucky to have had her as part of our daughters' and our lives for so many years.
Disobedient, not straitforward, in our absense takes advantage of children who cant talk yet, giving priority to her comfort zone or needs. Harsh or forceful when child doesnt obey. Unnecessary expenses, doesnt hand over neither receipt nor all the items purchased.
My son has been attending Stacey’s childcare since June and he loves it.
Stacey is kind and compassionate and has a real love for children in her care. Stacey’s care is one of the best settings I have ever used and nothing is too much hassle for her. Every morning we are met with a smile and when I collect him we are told all about his day and the fun things my son had been doing. Even when my son isn’t in the setting on the summer holidays we have regular check ins with Stacey. She will message to find out how he is doing and how he progressing with crawling, teething etc.
Stacey is a lovely lady and the rest of her family is also the same. I can not fault anything about my son’s care and he is so happy to see Stacey when he arrives in the morning.
I came to the UK (from the US) with my wife for five weeks so she could take a special course. We have a 20-month old and I had more work than anticipated and required immediate babysitting services. Deepika drove to our rental 3-5 days/week and watched our little one. She's very intelligent, clearly experienced, warm and engaging. Our kid ate better with her than he does with us, learned new songs, and was saying her name ("Depu") when he woke up in the morning. They went on long walks and spent most of their time outside in nature / playgrounds. For both us as parents and him as our child we feel grateful to have found her. Our son will miss her so much! We wish we could find someone as good as her in New York City.
(one last bonus, she also did the dishes and tidied up before leaving which was not asked but extremely appreciated)

I honestly don’t think I could recommend Lauren highly enough. Finding her has felt like an absolute godsend.
After having a couple of difficult experiences with childcare, I was naturally quite apprehensive about starting again with somebody new. From the moment I met Lauren, though, that feeling completely disappeared. She has this incredible ability to make you feel as though you’ve known her for years. She is so warm, genuine, reassuring and easy to talk to that, very quickly, she has felt more like a friend than simply somebody looking after my child.
And then there is the way she is with the children. She is genuinely fantastic. My child has taken to her amazingly well and, after only the third proper settling-in session, I can already see a real little bond beginning to form. As a parent, there is honestly no greater reassurance than seeing your child becoming comfortable, happy and secure with the person who is going to care for them.
Walking into Lauren’s home just feels different. There is such a lovely atmosphere — fun, happiness, warmth, nurture and, most importantly, safety. It doesn’t feel clinical or like you are simply dropping your child off somewhere for childcare. It feels like a genuine home from home where children are loved, included, played with and allowed to have a wonderful childhood.
Lauren is one of those people who seems to have been made to work with children. She is enthusiastic, kind, energetic and just naturally brilliant with them. There is always something fun going on, and she manages to create that magical balance of children feeling safe and nurtured while also having an absolute ball.
I have jokingly described her as a modern-day Mary Poppins, but I genuinely mean it! 😂❤️
More than anything, I feel incredibly lucky that we found her. Entrusting somebody else with your child is such a huge thing, and finding somebody who gives you that feeling of “yes, my child is going to be okay here” is priceless.
Lauren, thank you for making what could have been such an anxious transition feel so completely different. We are only at the beginning of our journey with you, but already I am so grateful that my child has you in their little world.
An absolutely wonderful childminder and a genuinely lovely person. I would recommend Lauren in a heartbeat. ❤️

Karen has been working with our son for months since he was falling significantly behind in school and the difference we have seen in him is just massive. His confidence and love for learning are so evident now. She is so patient and really knows her stuff. I love her teaching approach where she personalises tasks to fit his personality and interests like using superheroes. She works brilliantly with us as parents keeping us updated on his progress and helping us understand how to support him. We are so grateful for her help and our son always looks forward to Saturday mornings.
Karen has been helping with our 3 year old son's pick-up for over a year now. She also looks after him at home when he can't attend nursery and when she's available. She has developed lovely bond with our son and he adores her. She is kind, intelligent, and always willing to try and accommodate when we need help, even at short notice. Our son started talking late, and Karen would talk to him about everything they saw which I believer really helped with his language development. She's always looking for new activities and interesting places to visit with him.
Karen has become our friend over time. She offered her support when I was heavily pregnant which was truly heart warming.
We have seen our child grow and flourish in her care, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Uzma for everything!
My daughter went here for two years. She was always so happy to go. They were so friendly and so patient with her. They have different activities everyday and on Fridays had a speech therapist. Absolutely amazing experience. My child will always miss Monika. At the end of it they did graduation for all the 4 year old and gave me a report of the skills she had acquired, photos included and how ready she is for reception.
Definitely use her, her setting is amazing.
Showmiya cared for our 9 month old for a few weeks. We had a great experience: they have a very nice setup for the kids, all the kids are happy, they brought AC when it was hot. Showmiya was very communicative and flexible, and helped with our baby’s naps. We will definitely recommend her to anyone!
We booked some tutoring sessions with Joanna over the summer to give our 5-year-old extra support and confidence before starting Year 1. He can struggle to focus and Joanna has been brilliant at finding clever and creative ways to keep him engaged and interested throughout the sessions. She’s incredibly patient, encouraging and has really taken the time to understand how he learns best. We’d definitely recommend her!
Wendy looked after our young child and was caring and professional. She regularly updated us on their day and even brought some activities from home for them to do. We had a good experience with her and would be happy to book her in the future.
