My child has been at Sallys for 3 years now and it has become her 2nd home, she loves going and I have always felt comfortable knowing she’s being looked after incredibly well, and having a mix of ages to play with has been great! Sally is kind, caring, thoughtful, loving and stable.
My child has been very happy at Sallys over the years and I can’t highly recommend her enough!
We couldn’t recommend Tamara more highly as a childminder. She has been absolutely wonderful with both of our girls, providing such a warm, caring and nurturing environment.
Tamara is fantastic with the kids, and it’s been such a comfort knowing they are in such capable hands. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are entertained and well looked after. Tamara takes the kids on brilliant days out. They have an absolute ball!!
Now that our kids are no longer at Tamara's, we really miss getting daily photo updates of their adventures (as do my parents who also loved getting their daily pics of the grandchildren). We hope to stay in touch with Tamara over the school holidays still as my girls regularly talk about Tamara and we still sing all the nursery rhymes Tamara has thought them (we're going on a bear hunt, is a favourite of Polly's).
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tamara and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind and reliable childminder.
We couldn’t recommend Ewa highly enough! She has looked after our little boy since he was just 1 year old, and we are so grateful for all the love, care and support she has given him over the years. She has always made him feel safe, happy and loved, and it has been such a comfort knowing he is in such caring and trustworthy hands. She has played a special part in his life, and we truly appreciate everything she has done for him. We would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, reliable and loving childminder. Thank you for everything! ❤️
Molly was on time and brilliant. We felt comfortable with her looking after our children. She left the kitchen perfect even though we weren't expecting the dishes to have been cleaned.
We would not hesitate to recommend Molly as a kind caring childminder.
She interacted with our children and even read a bedtime story.
Thank you Molly.

We honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder! Choosing who to trust with your little one while you go to work is such a big decision, but from the moment our daughter started, we’ve had complete peace of mind knowing she is in such amazing hands.
She really takes the time to understand and tailor everything to our daughter’s individual needs and routine, making sure she feels happy, comfortable and cared for. The home-cooked lunches are amazing, the healthy snacks are a lovely touch, and the communication throughout the day is fantastic. It’s so reassuring to receive updates and know how her day is going.
She truly goes above and beyond, and you can see just how much thought, love and effort she puts into everything she does. The daily activities based around the seasons are such a lovely idea and give the children so many wonderful opportunities to learn, explore and have fun.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to her — in fact, she’s even started closing the door on me when I drop her off! 😂 That alone says it all about how happy and settled she is.
We are so grateful to have found someone who genuinely cares so much about the children she looks after. It makes going to work so much easier knowing our little girl is safe, happy, learning and being loved and cared for.
We couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for a truly wonderful, caring and dedicated childminder.
Claire is as good as they come, my son loves going to Claire's for the day. We had previously been sending him to a local nursery where I wasn't to happy with the conditions and level of care even though I partly wanted a more "school like" environment. When we were lucky enough for Claire to have a vacancy arise for days that we needed the difference was night and day.
At Claire's we have absolute faith and trust that our son is in a level of care which you would be hard pressed to find with anyone else, She seems to have an endless supply of energy and good nature. Whilst I'm working i know without doubt that my son is being looked after, is in a safe environment, with someone who has his best interest at heart, who he trusts, in a nice environment and is safe. Everyday our son is home with new activities , friends , artwork and stories of where he's been for the day and he genuinely is excited to go which was worlds apart from the crying his eyes out at drop off time with nursery and other carers.
Claire has been so good to our son that we will be sad to leave as he is not far from being old enough to head on to school, she has been absolutely amazing and is a genuinely kind and caring woman who often goes above and beyond at times just to make the kids and even sometimes the parents happy, she always has an ear and a word of wisdom from her experience and always takes a genuine interest and care into your life and well being (I'm sure she could run a side gig counseling from her front porch at times). If you have the opportunity to have your child in Claire's care absolutely do not pass it by.
Eb is a wonderful childminder, as my child is safe and well looked after. She enjoys going to the nursery as she gets to learn and play, she comes home with lots of arts and crazy stuff, drawings, colouring from spending her day at the Nursery. During the summer we she enjoyed some of the little trips and days out Eb provided. Couldn’t be happier taking my child to Little Oasis.
My little boy was with Steph for 4 weeks whilst he was in between leaving nursery and starting nursery school, he can be quite reserved to start with and get upset easily but he absolutely loved it. He would come home and tell everyone about his day whether that be going to the park, playing with other children, going to play group and what different things he had done with Steph and not once did Steph say he’d been overly upset cause he was very comfortable. Most mornings he’d run right in without even saying goodbye to me🤣. His only “problem” there is that he’d give Steph a mission with her food, deciding whether he did or didn't want to eat her food that day🙄 so we started sending him with a packed lunch alongside Steph’s snacks. She would always send me photos and updates throughout their day of what they’ve been doing to keep me in the loop. He’s not been with Steph for 3 weeks now and he still shouts at me pretty much daily that he wants to go to Stephs house. Couldn’t recommend her more!

I believe this person is a fraud. She requested a full month’s payment in advance but never showed up or carried out any of the work she had agreed to do. After exchanging a few messages, she blocked me and stopped responding completely. I would strongly advise others to be cautious.

We needed a babysitter to look after our baby boy during my sister's wedding and Lyndsey was an absolute star. She came the day before to introduce herself to him and she has a wonderful calm and gentle presence. Our baby took to her immediately and we felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. I could not recommend her enough - she made the day and evening a breeze and even managed to get my sometimes rather clingy, feed-to-sleep boy settled for sleep, something we hadn't managed with other babysitters so far!

Couldn’t recommend Lindsey enough. My daughter struggled to settle for a while when first starting and Lindsey went above and beyond to support us and her to become more confident when being dropped off to her setting. Her experience really shows in her support and guidance and always has the child’s best interests.
Lindsey has got a lovely setting and is always putting on activities for the children including helping the children make lovely little art for special occasions. My daughter particularly enjoyed playing in her garden and has made some lovely friendships with not only the children but Lindsey too.
Having photos/videos sent regularly was also a lovely little touch to know they are happy during their day. I couldn’t be more greatful for JustKidz childcare.
My daughter was always so shy when first starting Lindsey’s and struggled with being with unfamiliar faces she has now grown so much in confidence her speech is becoming so clear and her manners are amazing which I believe has come from Lindsey and her setting.
Having used both nursery provisions and now childminder I would highly recommend Lindsey for a more personal small group with more 1 to 1 support.
Thank you for everything Lindsey you will be missed by Nellie.
Jo and her team have been excellent for our two children. We have been using them for over 5 years and our children have thrived. They love spending time there. At our children's parents evening they recognised the work Jo has done to make our children school ready.

I will recommend Emma any day any time since my children start going to her setting they have always talking by going back and sometimes picking them up refuse going home with me . She treatd the children like her own no complain at all. God bless her for me. She has been a life saver since my schedule in university started.
A wonderful, caring, kind and helpful lady. She helped me with my now 2 year old and 4 year old regularly for 2.5 years. The children loved spending time with her and were always excited when she came. She is very trustworthy and hard working, and was like part of the family. I highly recommend her.
Frankie looked after our newborn during night shifts for 6 weeks when our little one was 2 weeks old. She was always punctual, reliable and professional. After showing her where everything was kept on the first night, she confidently took care of everything independently from then on. I could leave everything in her capable hands, which gave me complete peace of mind.
She provided a thorough handover every morning, and I really appreciated her helpful advice and suggestions along the way. I really valued how Frankie understood my needs as a recovering mum. She was thoughtful, supportive and made those early weeks so much easier.
Frankie was also incredibly warm and friendly with our older children and quickly became a valued part of our family routine. We really miss having her around! For any mum looking for that extra support and reassurance, especially during those early newborn weeks, Frankie is someone you can truly rely on. We are so grateful for all her help and couldn't recommend her highly enough!
We are so glad that we have found this childminder: her setting provided everything we were looking for and more. Small lovely group of kids and families, cleanliness, lot of educational and fun activities, outdoor space, and lovely and delicious home made food. Our daughter attended from the age of 1 to 2.5 years and has developed a lot under her care. Her assistant is also amazing with the kids and plays on the guitar. Other assistant is also brilliant and teaches kids for movements and fun. She created structure for kids, provided guidance for us parents during potty training and sleep training. She also provides daily updates and pictures that makes you feel like you are not missing out on anything while you are at work.

Ellie & Mim looked after our son (4 at the time for 1 year) - he was their first mindee. We felt very comfortable from the start with their environment, their key values and personalities. Dexter often cooked with Mim, explored several types of creative play, visited the local library and parks, even train journeys to other activities. I was very pleased with our communication between us all, it was very open, transparent and constructive both ways.
I would 100% recommend Little Larks for their childminding service.
I was not one bit surprised when they received their outstanding report from their 1st inspection by their agency.
Well done!

Being a full time worker,and also living far away from my workplace,I need to completely depend on a childminder for taking care of my 4 year old child.Dr Kaniz has been doing this so perfectly that I don’t even need to think about it.She is really trustworthy, hardworking ,an excellent teacher and wonderful caregiver.She always prioritises our needs. My child is always happy and well looked after, and it gives me peace of mind knowing they are in such safe and loving hands.
Our now 2.5 year old has been with Asa since May 2025, we could not recommend her more. The care, warmth and commitment to a nurturing and child led environment is something we feel beyond lucky to have.
Our son runs to the door every morning and seeing him develop such a strong bond with not just Asa but the other children has been truly special.
Alongside all of this, Asa is also committed to child development and a fun learning environment and our son’s speech, social skills, fine motor skills and learning in general are a testament to Asas experience and natural talent for childcare and crafts!
We really appreciate how active Asa is with the children and the use of so many local playgroups has really helped with our son’s ability to socialise with lots of other children.
Thankyou Asa for being such an amazing part of all of our lives
