We moved from a local nursery to Manidar in January 2025. She is friendly, warm and welcoming to parents and children. My daughter loves seeing Manidar in a morning, we have never had tears on drop off/pick ups and feel more than comfortable dropping her off whilst we work.
My daughter has thrived in terms of her development since Manidar has been involved. We get daily photos of our daughter and they always seem to have activities in the home, outside play or go out to lakeside/soft play/pet shop etc! Which my daughter absolutely loves.
Manidar is reliable, caring, trustworthy and honest which is all you can ask for in a childminder! Thank you for taking good care of our daughter when we aren’t around.
I can’t speak of the food as we pack up our daughter’s lunch and tea as Manidar doesn’t provide food. However this has been fine with us!
Zena is absolutely wonderful. She takes care of my daughter before school and always makes sure she is dropped off on time. My daughter loves going to her home and feels so happy and comfortable there. She is reliable, caring, and by far the best childminder we’ve had. I would definitely recommend her to any family!!
We feel so fortunate to find Mayflower, our boys have thrived at the setting and love their time with Lucy and Jamie.
It is wonderful to see the adventures that they have with regular pictures and updates. The boys love exploring and it is so special that Lucy and Jamie take the children out each day to a park / playground / playgroup etc.
The boys have developed wonderful social skills and love this family setting.
Thank you for all you do for the children and the support that you offer the parents along the way.
My son started with Eve in September 24. As soon as we went to meet Eve I knew that she was exactly what I was looking for after visiting a nursery and being distraught.
Eve is welcoming and nurturing and you can instantly tell this when meeting her. She cares for my son as she would her own and it’s so reassuring , as a parent all you want is for your child to be happy where they are and without a shadow of a doubt he is with Eve.
Eve gives me updates everyday he is there, they are always out exploring, they literally never stop even at home! He comes home with cards for special occasions and crafts. I literally cannot believe how much fun he has and I’m so happy for him and myself as I can concentrate on work knowing he is in safe hands.
I cannot thank Eve enough for the love and care she gives my son. I am already looking at the school Eve can do drop off and pick ups from as I do not want to lose her !
There are not enough words to describe my gratitude for the care that Eve provides for my little girl. Eve has gone above and beyond all expectations in every sense, meaning that I can be completely at ease each day, knowing that not only is my little girl safe, she is reaching milestones, learning, experiencing fun days out and it’s all done with love and care. Nothing is ever too much for Eve, she’s reliable, honest, informative and is always willing to work with me to achieve the next little milestone. She’s kind, considerate and very caring and has been a role model for my little girl.
I toyed with the idea of a nursery setting, ahead of school, when after 20 months of being with Eve, my little girl had turned 3, just because that is the norm. And then realised I didn’t need to. She had everything she needed and more at Eves. With a large group of children socialising through other childminders, following an age appropriate curriculum and so many adventures and visits to different places, I knew my little girl was thriving and nursery couldn’t have offered as much. Eve has had a massive hand in helping to make my little girl grow into a confident, clever, kind, well mannered little human. She’s prepared and ready to move onto the next big chapter in her life, big girl school.
My daughter has been attending Eniscare for the last few months and absolutely loves attending. Eniscare has been welcoming, supportive, caring and loving towards my daughter right from the initial visit and during every time she visits.
Eniscare provides a home from home setting with lots of fun, age/child appropriate activites and outings talered to your childs ability and interests.
My daughter is provided with health and nutritious home cooked meals that she enjoys and is also encoraged to try new things too.
Being a shift working parent it is often difficult to find unsociable hour care for my daughter. But I'm so glad we found Eniscare and I couldn't wish for a better childminder for my daughter. She always leaves your home smiling and happy.
We are a completely new family after having Liz, we’ve been able to embark on so many different projects and have such a huge amount of energy, and a huge amount of time! Our baby consistently sleeps for 12 hours and at least 2 hours in the day, we no longer stress about naps and she has as long as she needs, we’ve just been away and she slept like a dream. We’ve had a few illnesses and teething and a few unsettled nights but we’ve always felt confident when she needs us and when she needs to settle herself back. It’s been brilliant!

Esther is an outstanding childminder who provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for children. Her genuine care, patience, and dedication shine through in everything she does.
Children in her care are always engaged in meaningful activities, from creative play to outdoor fun and learning moments that support emotional and social development. She sets clear routines, encourages kindness, and helps children feel confident and secure.
Communication with parents is excellent—clear, consistent, and thoughtful. She shares regular updates, listens with empathy, and builds strong, trusting relationships with both children and families.
It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her commitment to the well-being and happiness of every child is exceptional. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely caring.
She is a true professional and a wonderful person. Thank you for everything!

I have used cheryl for the past 4yrs during every half term/summer holiday when she hasnt been teaching. I would highly recommend her bubbly and upbeat personality and the bonds she makes with the children in her care. Shes always communicated well and kept me very well informed during day. My son needs extra security and safety and her house is well set up for his needs.
Blessing was a god-send Childminder I met when I just moved to Dartford. She helped with both my kids. She’s fantastic in taking care of children and pays attention to their needs.
Never had to worry because they were always in the safest hands!
Thank you always, Blessing! Highly recommend!
Eve took on my two daughters when I changed jobs in September 2025. I was strongly recommended her by multiple people on a My Garston page. The entire transition was seamless and both my children have done nothing but flourish since being in her care. My youngest is with her 5 days per week and my eldest attends for school drop off. My children get excited at the end of her road and always run in with a smile and excitement. My youngest adores Eve and it’s so wonderful the see the bond she has grown with not just Eve but the other children in her care. My youngest honestly lives THE best life between farm visits, zoos, play groups, splash parks, soft play messy activities she is constantly being surrounded by nothing but an enabling environment which in return has support her development immensely. Despite my eldest only attending before school it’s amazing how she utilises the time and supports her with school work, cooks breakfast with her (she was very proud to come home be show me how to crack an egg!) and the endless gorgeous mark making activities.
Coming from an educational background myself Eve puts the children at the centre of everything she does and you can truly see how much she cares and adores them as if they were her own. Birthdays, Christmas’, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day nothing is forgotten. She covers all the 7 areas of learning thoroughly and all activities are well planned and thought out. I have and will continue to recommend Eve to any family or friend. Eve is an extension of our family and I will forever be thankful for all the love, care and support she has given my girls and the most outstanding and solid foundation to their education and future development.
Would highly recommend Mayflower to anyone who is looking for a trusting, warm and caring environment to send your child. Every day is an exciting adventure! They keep you updated with how your little one is doing with pictures and a daily journal and always there for support. We were so thrilled with how our daughter was getting on that we chose to send our son there to.
She helped looked after my little one couple of days ago ago. She’s nice, warm and friendly. She sings, plays and sets activities for my cutie one. I’m coming back for her because she is a good lady.
My daughter Clara started with Bintou on February, since the first moment I felt secure leaving my baby with her. She is very friendly with children, and with my baby in particular, Bintou has been veeeeery patient: in the beginning my baby cried a lot, because she is very attached with me, but now I can say both "are friends" and Clara is happy now, enjoying in Bintou's house.
Thank you Bintou!

Katie's has been looking after alex our 2.5yo son a few months now. We can't be happier, she's very reliable, kind, easy to communicate with. She seemed to know how to find the right approach to alex which means he's always very exited to know that Katie is coming. They always do a lot of fun activities together. They go to the playground, park, soft play, library and even on a little train adventure to the nearby village. Would highly recommend Katie for any childcare.
Our daughter started with Ginni going to 4 weeks now and we’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder! She is incredibly caring and understanding, and our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her. It’s clear she really understands our little one’s needs and communicates with us very well. As first-time parents, we’ve really appreciated the support and advice she’s given us—it’s made the whole process feel smooth and reassuring. Thank you for everything you do!

Hello Waheeda,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional childminding services you provide. When my previous childminder retired, I found myself in search of a new one and turned to the internet to find someone in my local area. Fortunately, I came across your profile, and I was immediately impressed with how quickly and thoroughly you responded to all my questions.
When I visited your setting with my children, we were greeted with such a warm and welcoming environment that it felt like a home away from home. My children were so comfortable that they didn't want to leave, which put my mind at ease about the transition. It's clear that you have created a nurturing and enjoyable space for the children.
I am truly happy and relieved to have found someone I can trust to look after my children. They absolutely love being at your place, and I appreciate your dedication and care.
Thank you once again for your excellent service.
Best regards,
Natasha
