We cannot recommend Tracey enough. From the moment our son, started in her care, she created a warm, loving and nurturing environment where he felt completely safe and happy
Tracey has an incredible gift for working with children. She took the time to truly understand Luca's personality, interests and individual needs, helping him develop confidence, independence and strong social skills. It was wonderful to see how much he flourished in her care.
As parents, the greatest comfort was knowing that Luca was not only being looked after, but genuinely cared for and loved. The bond Luca formed with Tracey was truly special. Seeing how happy and settled he was gave us complete peace of mind.
We will always be grateful for the positive impact Tracey has had on Luca's early years. She has played such an important role in his development and has helped shape him into the confident, happy little boy he is today. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, dedicated and exceptionally caring childminder. She is simply wonderful. ❤️
Nicky is currently working with us as a night nanny and has been excellent. She was happy to come to the house before a booking to meet my baby and toddler and put us at ease. Nicky is very knowledgeable and experienced with babies (and children) mine was very reluctant to be held by anyone out of our immediate family but was very happy to be held and cared for by Nicky.
Our baby is going through the 4 month regression and Nicky has been very patient with resettling her through the night and we are very confident in her abilities. It means we can relax and get some rest.
Lizz is simply the best in Sittingbourne! Having moved to Sittingbourne recently and being new to the area, looking for childcare for my daughter was daunting. Having reached out to Lizz, she responded promptly and arranged a viewing. She was welcoming helpful and answered all our questions. We had a sense of peace and home. We enrolled and our daughter had a smooth transition. Not only that, she got so excited to go see ‘Aunty Lizz’ everyday and couldn’t wait to start the day. My daughter came home happy and settled. Lizz went out of her way many times to assist us with picks ups drop offs and always with a big smile and helpful nature. She was honestly a lifesaver. My daughter has grown in leaps and bounds and learnt so much. In essence she has grown with confidence. We can’t recommend Lizz enough. She goes above and beyond with no problem. Thank you Lizz for being so outstanding and for naturing and looking after our precious child and getting her ready and capable for Reception. Simply the best !
Karla was very professional and timely and our two daughters (3 and 5) absolutely loved their time with Karla. They did lots of fun and educational activities together, she clearly has extensive childcare experience, and even took great care of the dog as well. I would highly recommend Karla!

Lucy has been looking after our twin boys for the past year and a half, and we are very grateful for all her help and support. The boys are now 2.5 years old, and Lucy has played an important role in their development.
She helped us establish a consistent daily routine, including getting both boys to sleep at the same time, which was a huge help with twins! Lucy was also a great help with potty training, guiding the boys through this stage with patience and encouragement.
She always made sure the boys were well fed and was particularly helpful when we started introducing new foods, encouraging them to try different things.
Lucy has always looked after the boys with love, care and patience. She is very knowledgeable about children's needs and development and was always creative in finding ways to keep them entertained and engaged. One thing we especially appreciated was her ability to keep both boys calm. She communicated with them clearly and patiently, explaining things in a way they could understand. We always noticed that the boys were at their calmest when they were with Lucy.
She also put a lot of effort into their early learning, reading to them, teaching them new words and letters, and introducing activities such as holding a pen and practising tracing from a very young age. I could really see the difference this made to their development, and I'm especially grateful for that.
Overall, Lucy has been a wonderful nanny, and we truly appreciate the love, care, knowledge and dedication she has brought to looking after our boys. We would happily recommend her to any family.

Katie is a wonderful childminder. She's caring, fun and reliable. She often takes the children out for the day and there's lots of variety in the activities she offers. My daughter runs to her front door in the morning and squeals with excitement when I say "we're going to Katie's house today". She also has consistent and quick communication, including sending us pictures and a summary of their day. Thanks Katie for being part of our lives 🥰
We are incredibly grateful to Shah for the wonderful care she gave our autistic son from October 2025 to September 2026.
Finding someone who understands your child’s individual needs and makes you feel confident that they are in safe hands is so important, especially when your child has additional needs. From the beginning, she showed genuine kindness, patience and understanding, creating a safe and nurturing environment where our son could feel comfortable and supported.
Her caring nature, attentiveness and willingness to accommodate his needs gave us great peace of mind. It meant so much to know that he was being cared for by someone who respected him as an individual and genuinely wanted the best for him. Her support has been invaluable to our family, and we truly appreciate the positive difference she has made during this time.
As our time with her comes to an end, we will always look back on this chapter with gratitude. Thank you for your dedication, compassion and for being such a wonderful part of our son’s life.
We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, caring and understanding childminder, particularly those with children who have additional needs. She has been a real blessing to our family, and we wish her all the very best for the future. ❤️
I was initially quite hesitant about leaving my son as he is autistic, but Tiny Cubs made us both feel so comfortable. He settled in straight away, which was such a relief for me as a mum! I was also kept updated and given feedback throughout, which really reassured me. The care and support made such a difference, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would definitely recommend Tiny Cubs to other parents
Our two boys were with Tammy from baby and toddler ages all the way until they started school, and we honestly couldn't have asked for more.
Tammy is warm, bubbly, energetic and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. She's always been open to listening to us as parents, offering thoughtful feedback, advice and ideas along the way.
She was particularly wonderful in supporting our eldest son with his autism. From the early days of recognising his additional needs, she worked closely with us, always willing to collaborate with schools, nurseries and other professionals, share information and support us through the EHCP process. Her patience, understanding and willingness to go above and beyond meant an enormous amount to us.
The setting itself is fantastic, with plenty of outdoor play, trips to the park and lovely creative activities throughout the year. From Christmas decorations and Mother's and Father's Day cards to Halloween pumpkin carving, Tammy always made an effort to make things special for the children.
Above all, what stands out is the genuine love and care Tammy has for the boys. Even as they grew older and moved on to school, that warmth and connection never changed.
We're incredibly grateful for everything she's done for our boys over the years. She's played such an important part in their early childhood, and we couldn't recommend her highly enough.
We don’t have family nearby, and after two months of looking after our baby on our own, my husband and I were absolutely exhausted. We realised we needed some support and reached out to Happy — and we’re so glad we did.
Communication was clear and straightforward from the start, and she was always punctual and reliable. Happy has such a warm, kind and calming presence. The first time I saw her holding our daughter, I immediately felt I could trust her, and that first impression proved right.
We were nervous about leaving our little girl with someone else when she was only a few months old, but Happy was so gentle, caring and attentive with her that we soon felt at ease.
Thank you so much, Happy, for taking such lovely care of our daughter and giving us some much-needed rest. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to other families!

Our little boy attended Jen’s Little Angels three days a week for around 19 months and overall we had a positive experience with the setting.
The hours offered worked really well for our family, particularly the early starts, and we found the childcare reliable and accommodating around our working arrangements. Our little boy settled well, was happy to go in and developed a good relationship with both Jen and Tricia.
He enjoyed spending time with the other children and had some lovely experiences during his time there. They regularly got out of the house and he enjoyed trips to places such as soft play and farms, as well as seasonal outings and activities at Christmas and other times throughout the year. Meals and snacks were provided, and we received daily updates about what he had eaten, his naps and nappy changes.
Most importantly, we always felt comfortable leaving our little boy in their care while we were at work. After 19 months, they had naturally become a familiar and important part of his routine, and we’re grateful to both Jen and Tricia for looking after him during such a big part of his early years.
Thank you both for everything you did for him, and we wish Jen’s Little Angels all the best for the future♥️
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Ila’s support from the time our twin daughters were just 18 months old until they started school. Having them in her care full-time, from 9 am to 5 pm, gave us complete peace of mind. Ila has played a wonderful role in their early development, supporting their growth with great professionalism, patience, and dedication, while providing the warmth and love of a family member. Our girls have come such a long way, and we are truly grateful for everything she has done to prepare them for the exciting new chapter. We cannot thank Ila enough and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated childminder.
Susu has been looking after our little boy, since he was around seven months old, and we’re so happy to have had her with us. Almer warmed to her almost immediately. She’s kind, warm, funny and has such a lovely way with babies. She quickly got used to his routines, from feeding and naps to his very particular way of falling asleep, which requires plenty of patience and cuddles!
She’s responsible, caring and someone I’ve always felt comfortable leaving Almer with when I was at work. Over the past six months, she’s become part of our family, and we’d love for her to remain part of our life as Almer grows.
I’d happily recommend Susu to any family looking for a warm and loving nanny!

I reached out to Arlinda when I urgently needed childcare for my toddler, and she was more than happy to accommodate us. She kindly offered us the opportunity to visit and view her setting beforehand, which was absolutely wonderful — clean, welcoming and full of engaging resources for the children.
My daughter attended today, and Arlinda kept me updated throughout with lovely photos. She had a fantastic time, from practising phonics to going out for a walk, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for more.
From Arlinda’s excellent communication and the healthy snacks provided to her warm, attentive interaction with both my daughter and me, the whole experience was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely use Arlinda’s setting again. Highly recommend!
MsAbby has been a blessing for me and my daughter. After needing to change childcare providers within a short period of time, I found MsAbby and she has been nothing but helpful, kind and considerate towards us and our situation. My daughter has been thriving, learning new words, taking more risks and growing in confidence whilst in MsAbbys care. I’m happy to know she is in an environment that makes her feel safe and happy and gives me everlasting confidence that she is in the right hands. I couldn’t be more thankful for MsAbby and how much she has helped us both and to see how much my daughter is learning each day. She loves going to MsAbby each day she attends. I would recommend MsAbby 100%.

Arlinda is a warm and attentative childminder. My 3 year old daughter has only been with Arlinda for a few weeks and has brought out the best in her, taking her to play groups, providing healthy and varied lunches and snacks and provided her with fun and engaging activities, preparing her for reception. Even provided my daughter with a book to practice her writing! You will be very lucky to have Arlinda care for your child.
Diana covered emergency childcare for my children recently when our out of hours school club wasn't running any sessions.
She's a lovely young woman who went above and beyond with my 10 and 8 year old, and dealt with both my rambunctious labradors too. She even taught my eldest a few cookery skills during lunch.
If you are looking for someone to look after your children I couldn't recommend her enough. My children are now saying they want her to cover all inset days in the future!

Absolutely wonderful babysitter – couldn’t recommend more highly!
We couldn’t be more grateful for such a fantastic babysitting experience! Rachel very kindly stepped in at the last minute to look after our eight-year-old daughter and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
She was incredibly friendly, warm, professional and accommodating, immediately putting us at ease. Her lovely manner and natural ability with children made such a positive impression, and it was wonderful knowing our daughter was in such capable and caring hands.
The fact that she was willing to help at such short notice made an already excellent experience even more appreciated. She genuinely went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable and exceptional babysitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
A huge thank you for being so wonderful! ❤️
We feel incredibly so to have found Dipika. She is looking after our 6 month-old daughter two days a week, and has been such a wonderful addition to our lives. She is incredibly kind, warm thoughtful, flexible and professional, and it is clear how much she genuinely cares about the little ones she looks after.
As a first time mother, I am finding Dipika's support invaluable. She is incredibly knowledgeable and offers so many intuitive, helpful tips and advice, always in such a reassuring and thoughtful way. She is a source of confidence and support for me as I navigate motherhood for the first time.
Our daughter absolutely lights up when she sees Dipika, which says everything. She has the most wonderful energy and is so proactive and thoughtful, even researching local baby groups to take her to. She goes above and beyond in so many ways, and somehow also manages to prepare the most beautiful food for us!
We couldn't recommend her more highly and feel genuinely so fortunate to have found her. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
Our son was with Maria from March 2024 to August 2025 and we couldn't be more pleased with how happy and well looked after our son has been with her and her family.
From the beginning, Maria made us feel reassured by her professional, and caring approach. She is really reliable -can’t remember a single day we had to find alternative childcare because she was unwell!! We also appreciated the flexibility with pick ups and drop offs!
We really liked the fact that she takes the children out for different activities almost every single day (farms, museums, children centres, playgrounds, parks, etc) and she sends great pictures of their little adventures! They also do different activities in the house- in the main room as well as the front or back gardens.
Our son was genuinely happy to go to her house everyday and we could tell that her and her family also enjoyed spending time with him and seeing him grow.
Maria provided daily updates and photos and she was key in facilitating his toilet training!
We have felt really lucky to have found her and really recommend her!
