Tanisha looked after my two boys (4 and 8 years old) every evening for 8 days when my husband was away, she helped with the evening routine for 2 hours each day. She engaged with my kids, played and read books to them. She is very calm and kind and the kids really liked her and were looking forward to seeing her in the next evening. Additionally she took care of my youngest for half a day when he was sick and I still needed to work (from home). She is punctual and polite. I will definitely contact her again in the future when we require ad hoc babysitting.

My son has spent the last year at Gaby and he has loved every single day there. He runs inside without looking back and is excited about everything they do together. Gaby has made sure to create a beautiful setting that feels welcoming, safe and encouraging for young and growing minds. Her family-style, homemade meals have been a highlight and she makes sure to incorporate the childrens likes into the meals as well as introducing new and traditional flavours. I have loved that he has been exposed to different languages and cultures while learning about a vast array of topics. Everyday there are new and exciting (as well as developmentally appropriate) activities and themes to explore. My son was initially nervous and resistant to change but her calm and nurturing support have helped to protect his individuality and grow his confidence into a fun and vibrant young person ready for reception. Gaby was always open and clear with her communication as well as extremely understanding and professional. We have loved our year with her and I'm so glad to return with my second next year. Thank you!
We couldn’t recommend Sacha highly enough. She cared for our daughter full time from the age of one until she was four, including preschool wrap-around care for a year.
Sacha is caring, creative and passionate about giving the children in her care the very best start. She puts so much thought and energy into everything she does, always ensuring that the children are happy, engaged, learning and, most importantly, well cared for.
Our daughter absolutely thrived with Sacha and genuinely loved going to the setting every day. She made so many wonderful memories and developed in confidence, independence and readiness for school. She has developed strong friendships with the other children that extend beyond the setting.
As first-time parents, her experience, advice, guidance and reassurance have been invaluable. She has been a trusted listening ear through every stage of our daughter’s development and has always been professional, approachable and incredibly supportive.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Diego as our nanny. He is kind, calm, respectful, accountable, and genuinely wonderful with our child.
One of the things we especially appreciate is that he speaks Spanish with our child, giving them natural and meaningful exposure to the language. When they are together, Diego is fully present and engaged, playing, interacting, and giving our toddler his complete attention.
Diego is also very creative and thoughtful when it comes to finding activities that are fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate for our child’s age. He always seems to come up with new ways to play, learn, explore, and keep our toddler interested.
He has such a calm and patient personality and somehow always finds a gentle way to convince our toddler, even during those tricky toddler moments. He connects with children naturally and treats them with kindness and respect.
Diego is dependable, responsible, and a great cook, which is another wonderful bonus. There are honestly so many positive things we could say about him. We trust him completely and always feel comfortable knowing our child is in his care.
We highly recommend Diego to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, patient, creative, and genuinely engaged nanny. He is truly a pleasure to have in our family’s life!
Our little boy has loved being at Linda’s. Both Linda and Connie have been amazing with him and he loves to tell us stories about what they’ve been up to.
I felt so comfortable leaving him with Linda straight away, she is warm and welcoming and it’s clear that all of the kids absolutely adore her. Our son has enjoyed playing in the lovely setting so much and loveddd getting to play in the garden all summer!
Our son has now started school and I know he will miss her, Connie & the dogs lots!
We were very happy to have Marti look after our children, including our 1-year-old (full time) and our 3- and 6-year-olds, after school and during the holidays. She was extremely reliable, punctual and dependable, which gave us great peace of mind as a family.
She was wonderful with all three children and made a real effort to plan fun and age-appropriate activities to keep them engaged and entertained. She was caring, patient and attentive, and the children always enjoyed spending time with her.
We also really appreciated her initiative around the house. On quieter days, she would often tidy up and help keep things organised without ever needing to be asked. This was such a thoughtful extra and made a big difference.
We would happily recommend Marti to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable nanny. She was a pleasure to have in our home and we were very grateful for all her help.

We honestly can’t recommend Mary enough! We were on holiday in Cornwall for a week with our two children, our 3 month old baby and our 2 year old, and finding her was one of the best things we did.
Before our holiday, she took the time to have a video call with us to chat through everything, understand our needs and go through the children’s routines.
This was really reassuring for us, especially as our baby had never been left with anyone before.
We used her a few times during our holiday for daytime childcare, a couple of evenings babysitting, and she also took the children out on day trips for us. She was absolutely brilliant every single time.
She was amazing with both children. She was so warm, gentle, calm and caring, and her experience with babies and young children was obvious from the start. I was quite nervous about leaving our baby for the first time, but she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. We knew very quickly that they were in safe hands.
She was fantastic with our 2 year old as well and they both seemed to absolutely love spending time with her. It was so lovely coming back to happy, settled children and hearing about what they had been up to.
She was really reliable and easy to communicate with, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Having someone we trusted so much meant we could actually relax and enjoy some time together during our holiday, which was especially special with such a young baby.
We feel very lucky to have found her and would 100% use her again if we’re back in Cornwall. She was genuinely wonderful with both of our children and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️
Diego was our nanny for over a year before my twin girls started school and still does occasional cover for us. He’s totally wonderful and has a natural calm and ease with children. He makes an effort to find interesting and varied activities to make their days fun. I’m so impressed by the way he manages my twin girls with ease. I would recommend him so highly.
Polly was amazing with Lilah and genuinely took her into her own family and treated her with so much love and care.
We saw our Lilah grow so much in the time she attended Pollys setting and we genuinely couldn’t fault the care and support given to our daughter and us as we took the first steps into childcare.
I could not recommend Lewis enough. I was looking for childcare for my little boy last minute early in the morning and it wasn’t an issue whatsoever. He was more than happy to help and nothing was too much trouble. He’s kept me updated on everything they have got up to throughout the day. My little boy was very content and comfortable whilst in Lewis’s care. I would absolutely recommend🤍
very difficult to give instructions. does not follow instructions. very inconsistent , comes one days does not skips another day due to other commitments.

Ive known Nina for over a year now. Both my 2 children absolutely love her and she is a pleasure to be around.
She is caring, patient and nurturing. She genuinely attends to their emotional and physical well-being, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and valued. She seems to enjoy the activities the children do as well!
I couldn't recommend her enough, the comments and excitement from my children are enough realise how fantastic she is.

We came to Amanda at the start of the year and it has honestly been brilliant ever since. From communication to fun filled activities it’s been the perfect place to send our little boy to and he loves going there. There’s no shortage of toys and things to do for them but there’s also plenty of learning aids for them to enjoy at all ages.

The most amazing childminders we could of ever wished for. Karen and Amanda are amazing, our daughter has had the most wonderful three years with them.
Returning to work and trusting ultimately strangers at the time is daunting and scary, Karen and Amanda made this transition so much easier for our family. From day one I felt reassured Esme was in the right place, and I will forever feel grateful for the magnificent care, love, guidance and experiences you have provided Esme. You have helped shape Esme in to the wonderful, bright little girl she now is and we can never thank you enough
we will miss you, thank you for everything xxx
I met Jen when i started a new job that required me to work on Saturdays. Until then, my 6y old little boy was only in the care of myself and his dad. we never really liked the idea or had confidence to leave our son with someone else especially someone we didn't know. Jen was local to my area, a teacher and had her own children. this is what gave me initial courage to talk to her. when we visited her for the first time, i discovered the kindest and most loving lady with her children in they home that feels full of love, togetherness and care for each other- including their pets. i felt confidence honestly when i met them. with the weeks passing i realised that Jen is gifted with a natural talent, love and resilience to care for children. i feel re-assured when my son is with her. she plans very carefuly and appropriately activities for children based on what they enjoy, she is amazing at helping them gain confidence and build relationships, she is a great communicator with me as a parent. i could not ask for more and i feel fortunate that my son has access to the care she provides and to all the beautiful adventures that she organises for the children. Thank you Jen!🌸
It’s my first time to have a childminder, so we are kind of anxious if we can have someone reliable and trustworthy, and Susanna indeed is such a blessing because she came when we needed her the most. Her childcare setting works very well with us and my daughter loves her! From the very first day! She’s kind and considerate and above all she is trustworthy. She always takes an extra mile. 🌻✨

We found Libby and Angie for our first child and are so thankful that we did. Trusting other people to take care of your young baby is daunting but they both made the transition so much easier. Our daughter had the best first experience of childcare away from home. Libby and Angie provide a fun environment, learning opportunities (she came on leaps and bounds in her development), a wide variety of experiences but, above all, comfort and a loving, home from home environment. The genuine care and affection was clear from day one. We definitely recommend this setting! Thank you Libby and Angie!
Carolina had our son from 9 months old until he left for infant school at 4 years old. I can honestly say he has learnt more with her than he has anywhere else. Carolina and her family have been his second family and I feel has been treated like one of their own.
She doesn't take any nonsense from kids....or parents and is very focused on the children achieving their full potential and helps them become independent little people. He regularly went to various soft plays, toddler groups and other trips out which was nice. She has a lovely big garden for the kids to play in and has themed days which celebrate various events throughout the year so the kids can dress up and also learn about other cultural celebrations.
Carolina is small but tough and somehow carried on throughout all the snotty and horrible illnesses the kids kindly gave her. One thing I am very grateful for is her flexibility in helping out when something unexpected happens. Every now and then and I asked for additional hours/days, she is always keen to help if it's possible.
We are truly grateful for everything her and her family have done for us and we are really going to miss her.
