We have had the pleasure of knowing Stacey for a few years now, and she has had both of our girls in that time. We really do appreciate what she done for them and would recommend her if asked. Our girls have even caught up with Stacey and her boys even after childminding and once they joined school.

Pavlina looked after my little girl overnight regularly for the first couple of months. She was brilliant with the baby (helping my daughter to settle), friendly and reliable. She immediately put me at ease. I also appreciated her flexibility when my schedule was uncertain. I highly recommend Pavlina for anyone needing overnight help!
My son joined Delightful Gems when he was one year old, and I’ve been so happy with his time there. The staff are so caring and attentive, and the children are always well looked after, happy and clean. My son absolutely loves going there, which has always given me peace of mind. I’ve never had any issues and have always felt that he was in safe, caring hands. A big thank you to the whole team for looking after him so well we’ll really miss you all! ❤️
Hi, thank you for explaining your side. I completely understand that you’re entitled to speak to and consider other families, and I have no issue with you choosing an opportunity that suited you better.
My disappointment was simply with the communication and timing. From our conversations, I understood that we were progressing towards meeting and discussing childcare for October, so I was relying on this while preparing to return to university and, being postpartum, trying to organise childcare.
If I had known you were still considering other families and that our arrangement was by no means likely to go ahead, I would have continued looking elsewhere. I completely understand that no formal agreement had been made, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to feel let down when you’ve been led to believe things are progressing and are then told at short notice that you’re no longer available.
My review was based on my experience of the communication, not on your right to choose another family.
Take care
I really don’t like leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately I feel I need to leave an honest one. We had booked Therese for six hours to look after our 8-month-old baby, but when we arrived I didn’t feel the environment was safe or clean enough to leave a crawling baby. There was cat food on the floor, as well as small items within reach, and the floors did not appear to have been cleaned. We therefore made the difficult decision not to leave our baby. We also lost the full amount we had paid, not just the deposit. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending Therese for the care of young babies.
We’ve been so happy with Bumblebees Childminders and feel really lucky to have found them. They are so lovely and the communication is honestly brilliant - we’re always kept up to date and never feel like we need to chase anything. We also really appreciate the food they provide, with lots of variety and nutritious meals and snacks. Safeguarding is clearly taken very seriously too, which gives us so much reassurance. Most importantly, our little one is happy, settled and clearly so well cared for, which means the world to us. ❤️
I had to travel and was looking for an emergency baby sitting. That’s where Salwa jumped in and just relieved me from my worries.
Good communication all along and very caring with the children.
Really had a good experience and felt confident.
Thanks again for your time and see you next time .

We feel incredibly lucky to have Monica as our nanny. She is always helpful, reliable, and genuinely caring, but what really makes her stand out is how creative and thoughtful she is with the children. She is definitely not an ordinary nanny — she always comes up with fun ideas, activities, and little touches that make everyday life more interesting and special for them.
She is proactive, capable, and someone we can truly rely on. Most importantly, the children love spending time with her. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Beatriz has been wonderful with our four-month-old baby. Our little one quickly warmed up to her, constantly smiling and wanting to play. Beatriz is incredibly patient, caring, and highly detail-oriented. She asks lots of questions to ensure everything is done exactly to our preferences. She even managed to put our baby to bed - no small feat! She is a lovely babysitter. We are so glad we found someone who gives us complete peace of mind, knowing our baby is receiving the best care! :)
I genuinely don’t think there are enough words to explain just how incredible Mandy, Tara and Liza are.
This isn’t just childcare — it really does feel like an extended family. From the moment you leave your children with them, you know they are going to be loved, cared for and treated as if they were their own. The amount of love, patience and individual attention they give every single child is honestly unmatched.
The children are always doing something — whether they’re off out on an adventure, exploring somewhere new or at home doing one of the countless activities they come up with. But what makes this place truly special is so much more than what they do with the children. They are there for the whole family. They celebrate the happy moments with you, support you through the difficult ones and are always there when you need advice, reassurance or simply a shoulder to cry on.
I’ve had the privilege of watching all three of my children grow, learn and develop in their care, and seeing my second child now finish his time with them is incredibly bittersweet. When people have played such a huge part in your children’s lives, it’s impossible not to become attached to them yourself.
Mandy, Tara and Liza — I genuinely don’t know how I would have raised my children without your help, love and support over the years. Knowing that while I couldn’t be with them, they were somewhere they felt completely safe, happy and loved has meant more to me than I could ever put into words.
I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my children and I honestly couldn’t recommend you highly enough. Any family lucky enough to find you isn’t just finding childcare — they’re finding three wonderful women who will become part of their family too.
Thank you for loving my babies and for everything you have done, and continue to do, for all of us. ❤️
We are so grateful that we found Debbie and Allan! It felt like a big step for someone else to look after our 10 month old, but Debbie and Allan were really thoughtful and understanding and happy to answer any questions we had. Our daughter has the best time when she is with them - they are always visiting amazing places, national trust properties, gardens, sea life centres and soft plays. It is such a great opportunity for her to be out and about in the world every day, spending time with other children of various ages and with the care and attention that Debbie and Allan give all of the children they look after. They also offer drop offs and pick ups which is really convenient!
Thank you Debbie and Allan for all you do!
We are so grateful to Melina for taking such wonderful care of our daughter since she was 2 years old. Leaving her now is definitely bittersweet, but unfortunately we have had to say goodbye for a little while as I will be staying home for a few months with our new baby.
From the very beginning, Melina has made us feel completely comfortable and confident that our daughter was in the best hands. Her home truly feels like a real nursery, with beautiful, carefully organised spaces and activities suitable for children of different ages. There is always something fun, educational and engaging for the children to do, and it is clear how much thought, care and love Melina puts into everything she does.
Our daughter has been so happy there, and we have seen her grow, learn and become more confident during her time with Melina. We couldn't have wished for a better person to care for her.
Thank you, Melina, for everything you have done for our daughter and for all the lovely memories she has made with you. This is not goodbye forever — when our little baby grows up, we would be absolutely delighted to come back to you again. We would recommend Melina wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a caring, trustworthy and dedicated childminder. ❤️

belize and her team understands the needs of the child highly recommend so happy to have found an amazing childminder in my local area.
Sophie has been with us for the last few months and has been absolutely wonderful. As first time very nervous parents trying out babysitters we immediately felt at ease. She’s extremely caring, attentive and safe and my little one enjoys his time with her. We’ve been very happy and would highly recommend Sophie.
From the moment our son first joined Beliz at just 11 months old, we knew we had found someone truly special. Now, at four years old, he is about to start school, and Beliz has become an unforgettable part of his early years.
From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease and, most importantly, our son absolutely adored going to her. She has always been caring, patient, kind and attentive, and we have always felt that he was safe, happy and genuinely loved in her care.
Over the years, she has helped him grow so much in confidence and independence, while giving him countless wonderful experiences and memories. We have always been impressed by the activities she plans and the warm, homely environment she creates.
It is honestly very bittersweet that he will soon be leaving to start school. It feels like the end of a very special chapter for our family, and we are incredibly grateful for everything Beliz has done for him and for the love and care she has given him over the years.
Finding someone you completely trust with your child is priceless, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found Beliz. She has given our son the happiest and most loving start, and although we will miss her dearly, she will always hold a special place in our family’s hearts.
Our son has been attending Charlotte’s for the past two years and absolutely loves it. We were so lucky to find her, from the moment we met her, I knew I would feel completely happy and confident leaving our son in her care. She is incredibly caring and loving.
The learning experiences she provides are amazing and the activities she plans are truly outstanding.
We feel extremely fortunate to have Charlotte and her family in our lives.
Tanya looked after both my children from 10 months of age throughout primary school. Tanya is lovely, caring, kind always very flexible with my job requirements. I fully trusted her and visited many childminders local. I felt at ease straight away with Tanya! Both children adored her, she provided high quality home cooked food, took them park/activities all the time and provided educational support. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better, really would highly recommend Tanya 100%.
