Our daughter was with Moni’s childcare for just over a year until she progressed to pre school this January .
Her time with Monika was absolutely amazing , Monika’s care for the children is exceptional . Our daughter progressed so much in Monika’s care from learning how to share , becoming more confident around other children and joining in group activities more . Monika even helped to carry on when our daughter was being potty trained. Our daughter’s learning development grew and grew and this is down to Monika’s amazing ability to guide and teach children.
Monika goes above and beyond with all the children in her care . My daughter always comes home and tells us all the adventures they have been on . Muddy walks , trips to the farm and park , toddler groups and singing songs at the local library and most of all her favourite trips to the shops. Her dedication to her work really shines through and our daughter is always so excited to go to Moni’s everyday.
We would highly reccomend Monika to anybody , if we are lucky enough to have more children I will definitely be using Monika’s services again.
The best childminder 💗

Claire is so enthusiastic and happy to be around, this positive energy is also felt by my baby girl. I'm a new mum who has recently had Claire baby sit my 3 month old to give my husband and I a break for date nights again. Claire has been a God send, took very good care of my baby and have me words of encouragement when feeling overwhelmed. I will be hiring Claire on a regular basis to enable me with regular breaks. I would recommended Claire to anyone who needs a responsible and reliable baby sitter to guarantee peace of mind while you're away. X
My daughter attended Nat Nat’s childcare setting from the age of 1 untill nearly 4 years old.
Natalie is such a lovely warm and caring person. Who genuinely only wants the best for the children in her care.
She not only the supports the children but also parents too with difficult drop offs she would always reassure me with a picture and message that the tears had quickly stopped and she was happily playing.
Natalie always sent updates of the fun that had been had during the day, aswell as crafts my little one would come home with. She has made some forever friends from attending Natalie's.
I can't recommend Natalie enough, for teaching and adoring my daughter and I'm so sad that this chapter of my little girls life has come to an end.
We were with childminder Katie for two years, and from the very first day she changed our lives. My daughter started when she was still very little, and I remember how nervous and scared I was to leave her with someone else. Very quickly, Katie took all that fear away.
Katie became so much more than a childminder , she became a second mum to my daughter. She loved her like her own child, gave her so much care, warmth, and safety, and my daughter loved her deeply in return. Katie’s children are the most kind, loving, and beautiful kids. They welcomed my daughter as part of their family, and she truly felt at home with them.
It breaks our hearts that they are moving. Saying goodbye is incredibly hard, and we will miss them more than words can ever say. We will always be grateful for everything Katie and her family have done for our daughter. They will forever have a special place in our hearts, and we will never forget them.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Nozipho at A2Z for the excellent care and support provided to our twins. As they are now leaving, we wanted to share how positive our experience has been.
Nozipho has been kind, patient, and attentive, always taking the time to understand our children’s individual needs. Our twins have grown in confidence, communication, and independence during their time at A2Z, and it has been reassuring to know they were cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.
Communication with us as parents has always been clear and supportive, and we truly appreciate the dedication, encouragement, and warmth shown to our children every day.
We will genuinely miss A2Z and highly recommend it to any parents looking for a caring and supportive setting for their children. Thank you for being such an important part of our twins’ early years.
A truly wonderful childminder. She is very caring and always keeps us updated about our child, which gives us great peace of mind. My son feels safe, loved, and happy in her care. He has learned so many new things, including numbers, poems, and various fun activities that support his development. She is completely trustworthy, and we feel very confident leaving our child with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for excellent childcare.
Nessa was willing to jump in as our holiday sitter last minute. She. Was. Amazing.
Our three littles can be a handful and she was patient, kind, and handled her own with them perfectly.
Next time we are in London, she’ll be the first person we ring.
Our son attended Ramona’s setting from the age of one to two, and he has absolutely thrived. We were badly let down at the last minute by a nursery, and in hindsight we’re so glad it happened because finding Ramona was the best thing for our family.
Her setting is spotlessly clean and very well organised- she truly runs a tight ship. There’s a lovely balance between having a small, nurturing environment while still offering the social benefits of a larger setting. The children take part in a wide range of fun and educational activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play and learning about different awareness days and themes.
Our little boy absolutely loves going there, and we are genuinely sad to be moving on. The only reason we are leaving is because he is now ready for a preschool setting. If you’re feeling unsure about where to send your child, I couldn’t recommend Ramona highly enough. She goes above and beyond and is truly exceptional.

Bella has been helping me with my three kids since the third was born in the summer. She is brilliant with keeping the older two having fun giving me space for the baby, and then looking after the baby so I can have some time with the others. She is kind, helpful, very reliable, and lovely to have around.

Super friendly, always punctual, and a very clear, thoughtful communicator. My son took to Karis straight away, which made a huge difference. She really prioritised maximising his sleep during a period when he was heavily teething, and we felt very confident having her support us during a challenging time

We did an interview with Alba and we decided to do a trial.
On the first 4 days, she missed 3 days. We had a different excuse on each day (tube issue, stomach bug and fever).
The day she came did not go well :
1. She left my 3 year old daughter next to boiling water unsupervised.
2. She gave a bottle to our 8 month old son that was not washed without asking, and used his sister's milk.
3. Kitchen was dirty and answer was "kitchen floor is always dirty"
I advice to stay away.
Hazel has been looking after my daughter, for a few months now, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As a parent who was incredibly anxious about leaving my daughter with someone new and knowing she is very anxious with new people who takes a while to settle, Hazel went above and beyond to put my mind at ease. She is professional, warm, and clearly has a natural gift for childcare. She has slipped into life at Hazel’s house so easily and settles awesomely every time I drop her off, Hazel always makes sure to let me know when she's happy and playing. Seeing how happy and comfortable Willow is once she's settled in for the session gives me such peace of mind. We are so lucky to have found her!

This lady is down as emergency childcare. I contacted her for “emergency childcare”. She agreed. Polite contact all day, and everything seemed fine. 10 minutes before she was due to arrive, she blocked my account! Disgusting! I work for a local hospital and was suppose to do a night shift. Do not bother!

I wouldn’t recommend them to any parent as they mistreated our daughter who was non-verbal at the time. I was working full time while my wife as working part-time. We use to leave our daughter with them in the afternoon when I left for work, my wife would pick her up once she finished work. This was back in 2023.
We started noticing that our daughter would cry when we left her there and this used to happen every time. You would think that over the weeks this would get better but no it got worst. Our daughter would come back with bruises, wounds and one time even had wounds on her tongue (both sides). Our duaghter despite being non-verbal was very social, active and loved playing with other children and toys.
We only found out last year when one day we took out the old work book (while sorting out her cupboard) that they used to have for my daughter. My daughter started crying and threw the book away, since she could speak and explain things better, she told us everything. My daughter specially mentioned Miss Naghma’s son who use to hurt her. To this day, not a day goes by when she doesn’t mention Miss Naghma’s son and keeps asking that we should report him to police.
We had our suspicions especailly couple of times there was police at their house as well but, we didn’t have any evidence to prove it.
Can you imagine how parents trust their children to these poeple who then abuse them, I am writing this review to inform other parents. We saw children there as young as few weeks old. I cannot imagine what those children must go through. One time I was chatting with Miss Naghma’s son and he didn’t have good things to say about children which is a HUGE red flag.
There were couple of other childminders in the area where our daughter use to go but my daughter never mentioned any mistreatement there. We have the pictures and what’s app evidence to back this up as well.
Definitely, don’t recommend them to any parent, in fact I would recommend the authorities to investigate them.
I take my 2 boys to Laura once a month for a night or two. Originally it was just for a bit of rest bite as I am a single mum. Now I have a job which requires me to work some nights and Laura is always happy to help where she can!
They absolutely adore going to Laura’s! My eldest often asks me when he can go back to Laura’s and when on the way to her house he is so excited! Oliver said to me when I picked him up last “Laura is my friend and I love going there”!
My youngest has autism and isn’t the easiest of boys to have and Laura was amazing from the word go!
Nothing is too much for her! I’m so happy I have now found my forever childminder! Thank you Laura!!
My daughter went to her for few months and i had a good experience with her..previously i had a bad experience with a famous childminder in hounslow naghma caudhry and i was not happy with her so i switched to nazima and i was very satisfied with her..
Binti looked after my kids and I wouldn’t recommend her due to what my kids told me and I had a conversation with her which went left… She wasn’t trying to understand what I was saying and she was being dismissive and rude about the situation. It’s a shame because she was my closest childminder but now I have to look elsewhere.
