Her profile says one thing but she wants something else. One of her responses: “I can come alone for one afternoon to meet and discuss arrangements yes. However I would need to look after both children in one home at the same time. Thanks Chloe”. She is trying to sell something we didn't ask for and didn’t advertise this in the site. Waste of my time!
Amy is a fantastic babysitter. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely great with children. She connects easily with them, keeps them engaged, and creates a calm, safe, and happy environment. My child always feels comfortable and well cared for with her.
Amy is thoughtful, attentive, and very trustworthy, and it is clear she truly enjoys working with children. I always feel completely confident leaving my child in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a lovely, dependable babysitter.
I only used sister Saffiyah on two occasions- one for my children to get familiar with her and on the second occasion she did a pick up and drop off for my younger son. Saffiyah was patient and friendly with my children and my children warmed to her very quickly. Due to a change of circumstances I no longer need to use Safiyah’s services but I wouldn’t hesitate to use her if I needed to again.
Katie is equally brilliant with parents and children. She communicates clearly, is professional and is keen to go the extra mile. The kids love her, too. From creating fun games to ensuring they do the things they need to do, Katie is attentive and makes it enjoyable. We’re really pleased with her as our nanny including doing pick ups, cooking meals and cleaning.
Our child has been with Laura since September, starting just after their first birthday, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more loving and supportive experience. Entrusting someone with your one-year-old is a huge step, but from the very beginning we felt completely at ease thanks to the compassion, patience, and genuine warmth shown every day.
The settling-in process was handled so gently, with plenty of reassurance and understanding. It’s clear how deeply our child feels cared for — our little boy is always happy, secure and excited to be with Laura, which means the world to us. Knowing our child is comforted, soothed, and loved just as they would be at home is incredibly reassuring.
One of the things we value most is the wonderful balance between nurturing care and opportunities to explore. Our son loves spending time outdoors, especially exploring the forest, discovering nature, and experiencing new sights and textures in such a calm and safe way. These experiences have helped build confidence and curiosity, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown.
The compassion Laura shows on a daily basis truly stands out. Our little boy is treated as an individual, with their needs, emotions, and routines always respected. Communication is thoughtful and reassuring, and we are always kept up to date with how their day has been.
We feel incredibly grateful to have found such a kind, trustworthy, and nurturing childminder. Knowing our child is surrounded by love, comfort, and meaningful experiences every day gives us complete peace of mind, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you for everything you do Laura, we really appreciate it!

Laura has cared for our little boy for the past 2 years.
We are delighted with her childminding, so is our son. Laura helped him to settle in and planned this process so thoughtfully and the care has been outstanding ever since. Laura keeps us in the loop with everything and sends lovely updates and photos to us. She listens carefully to the children and loves interacting with them. Our son has learnt so much since being with Laura and he’s really blossomed into a very confident person, he’s so happy to be there and often asks to go there on weekends!
Thank you Laura for everything. I can’t imagine a better person to look after him. Flo
From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank Andy and Andy for the truly special time filled with care, warmth, and dedication that you shared with our child at preschool.
From the very first days, your empathy, patience, and individual approach were clearly visible. The adaptation period, which can be challenging for both children and parents, went smoothly and gently thanks to your support, giving our child a strong sense of safety and comfort. Our child very quickly felt at home at preschool — coming in with joy, a smile, and the feeling of being important, understood, and accepted.
We are incredibly grateful for your daily involvement in our child’s development — both educational and emotional. Learning through play, discovering the world together, and encouraging curiosity and independence have had a huge impact on our child’s growth. We especially appreciate the moments of singing, making music together, and playing the piano, which not only developed musical skills but also sensitivity, confidence, and the joy of expressing emotions.
We truly value the fact that the children spend a lot of time outdoors, which is so important for their health, well-being, and happiness. We are also very thankful that you send photos every day, showing what our child is doing and how the day is spent. Thanks to this, we feel calm and reassured, knowing that our child is happy, safe, and well cared for.
It is impossible not to mention the wonderful atmosphere you create every day. Thanks to it, our child learned cooperation, empathy, and how to build meaningful relationships. With happiness, our child talked about friendships with classmates, shared games, conversations, and moments that will be remembered for a long time.
Your openness, kindness, and willingness to help whenever needed mean more to us than words can express. As parents, it gave us great peace of mind knowing that we could always count on you for understanding, conversation, and support.
Thank you for the heart you put into caring for, teaching, and guiding our child each day. Thank you for your smiles, kind words, patience, and for creating an atmosphere of safety and trust. This time spent in preschool was truly special and priceless — and it will stay in our hearts forever.
With sincere gratitude

We have been extremely happy with the care and support provided. The flexibility and understanding shown made a real difference for our family, and it was always clear that our daughter was genuinely cared for.
The activities were always varied, thoughtful, and very well organised, and our daughter had a lot of fun while learning and playing. Most importantly, she was always happy, felt safe and comfortable, and we had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such a warm and nurturing environment.
We are truly grateful and would highly recommend this childminder.
Amy is a fantastic childminder. Amy is kind, caring and is fantastic with children. It’s lovely to be updated through the day of what my daughter has been up to and what she has eaten that day. As a parent I think we all love to see what our children are doing. Amy takes my daughter to oceans of fun play centre the park , forest school. They do painting, crafts it’s different everyday and my daughter comes home with the work she has created. Amy teaches my daughter educational things such as where butterfly’s come from at forest school. Amy goes the extra mile and I know my child has the best time and seeing my daughter when I picked her up and her saying ‘I’ve had a great day mummy’ she’s just turned 3 makes my day! Would 100% recommend amy to any parent looking for there child to have the best time.
Sarina is a very reliable and flexible childminder. She has never taken time off sick or had any unexpected occasions that she could not take your child. My daughter enjoys her time under her care for the last 15 months. She has a good sized play room with a variable amount of toys. Her settings are very clean and tidy. Sarina ensures children get some outdoor time and a variety of activities throughout the day. She makes them healthy hot meal for lunch and healthy snack for tea time. My daughter has also get on very well with her family member and her very well behaved children. Overall, she is amazing and your child is no doubt well looked after by Sarina !
Alice has been amazing in caring for our son since September 2025. She is kind, patient and consistently creates a safe and welcoming environment for him. Our son truly enjoys his time wit Alice and has flourished under her care. The communication is excellent, and we receive daily updates of his activities. I highly recommend Alice!

I’m extremely happy with the care my 3-year-old is receiving at Hajra’s Home. Hajra is kind, patient, and nurturing, providing a safe and welcoming environment where my child has grown in confidence and development. The activities are fun, engaging, and age-appropriate, and communication has always been excellent. I fully trust Hajra and would highly recommend Hajra’s Home to any family looking for a caring and reliable child minder.
Natasha literally took nature to whole new level!
Our son has been going to Tasha since he was one; he’s now three. We have previously used Tasha for child minding our daughter so know exactly the level of care she provides.
Since going to Tasha, our son has picked up essential life skills which will assist in his development as he gets older. Since he has been going, he can count and string sentences together in a fluent manner.
Tasha regularly goes to the local park with the kids which has a small woodland to explore nature and also a village museum. Little things like feeding the ducks at the pond is something our boy looks forward to doing with Tasha and the other kids. Other activities include, dancing to kids songs, baking cakes and gardening just to name a few.
There’s times our son pleads to go to Tasha on the days he don’t and we’ve had to call her on the fly and drop him adhoc which she accommodates. This clearly goes to show that Tasha goes over and beyond with the service offered to the kids in her care and they all love her.
I highly recommend Natasha as a child minder. We wouldn’t have used her for my son if we thought she wasn’t up to it with our daughter.
Thanks Tasha, you are more than just a child minder for us!
Wow I don't know where to start. We are so so lucky to have come across Paula. My Daughter is autistic and non verbal with global development delay. Paula treats her as any other child. The positivity that radiates from Paula is amazing for my daughter and myself. Elsie has come on so so far, to the point she is Pre-verbal now. Paula always makes sure that Elsie is comfortable with whatever they do, Elsie is always so happy to see Paula. I feel she is like family. She's such a warm, positive, beautiful lady that I can't thank enough for all she does and has done. Elsie will be starting new hours next year but with out a doubt we will still see Paula in the school holidays etc. Thank you Paula ☺️

Words cannot describe how absolutely wonderful Sana is. She looks after my son as if he were her own baby, always showing him so much love, care, and attention. I work long shifts and it breaks my heart to have to leave my son, but knowing he is with Sana and being truly loved and nurtured, means the world to us. We are so lucky and grateful to have Sana in our lives, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thank you Sana ❤️
I’ve worked with Natasha for a year as our incidental nanny for our infant and now toddler son. She has filled in when our main childcare fell through, and covered holidays. She’s fantastic! Very prompt, organized, and full of fun things for him to do. But— she’s also understanding when we are disorganised and thinks fast on her feet! she can always sort something out. He goes to her house at times, and there’s ever so many lovely toys there and a cute puppy that he loves. I really feel like Natasha is one of the family, and any family that works with her would be lucky.

My little one has been with Polly since september. She is amazing with him and works around his routine. His communication and confidence has had significant improvements since his been attending and she is so flexible to his needs. He also had medical needs and I feel confident and reassured when he is with Polly as she is able to manage all his medical needs. She also uses a holistic approach and works with children as individuals. She is very professional and her setting has a wide range of toys both indoor and outdoor.
