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.

Treasa looked after my 5&6 year old and my cousins young baby whilst we attended a funeral nearby. She arrived promptly and the girls had a great time with her. Made us feel at ease that the girls were well looked after on a difficult day. Would recommend, Thanks so much :)

Amy was extremely kind and helpful with our 18 months old son. It was our first time leaving our son home for the evening with a babysitter and it went so well that we can't wait to repeat the experience another time!! You can really see how knowledgeable Amy is with children and how caring she is with parents, been keeping us posted as we asked through the night.
Thank you Amy, hope to see you soon again!

We feel incredibly blessed to have had Sheila as part of our daughter’s life. ❤️ From the beginning, she has shown our little one so much kindness, love, patience, and care. Her prayers, encouragement, and genuine compassion have meant so much to our family.
Sheila has been a wonderful influence and has cared for our daughter with such love and dedication. We are truly grateful for everything she has given to our daughter and our family.
We wholeheartedly recommend Sheila to any family looking for someone who will care for their child with genuine love, kindness, and dedication. She truly is a blessing, and we thank God for her. 🤍🙏

We honestly cannot recommend Aysha highly enough. She has been an absolutely wonderful childminder and has become such a special part of our family life.
Aysha has cared for my little girl since she was just 8 months old and she is now almost 4. From day one she has shown her nothing but love, kindness, patience and understanding. She has created such a warm, safe and nurturing environment where she has always felt happy, secure and completely herself.
Watching my little girl grow into the kind, caring, confident and beautiful little girl she is today has been incredibly special, and we know Aysha has played such a huge part in shaping the person she is becoming. She has supported her through every milestone, encouraged her confidence, taught her so much and filled her childhood with wonderful memories, laughter, adventures and love.
What makes Aysha truly exceptional is the support she has given me as a parent too. During some incredibly difficult times, she has shown me nothing but empathy, compassion and understanding. She has always been flexible, accommodating and willing to help wherever she could, never making me feel judged or like I was asking too much. That support has meant more to me than I can ever put into words.
Aysha has gone above and beyond in every possible way. She hasn't simply looked after; she has helped shape her heart and has been a constant source of love and support for us both. From the delicious home cooked food, to the trips and the amazing set ups she provides for the children.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will be forever grateful for everything she has done. We couldn't recommend her more highly. A truly exceptional childminder and a genuinely wonderful person. ❤️
Where do I start? They say it takes a village to help raise a child; Nargis and Mr Zahid have been our village. With literal tears in my eyes; my husband and I are profoundly grateful! It’s been 3 & a half years of our daughter going to their place since she was just 1 year and 3 months and it is truly her second home. My daughter Jasmine has learned a lot, from singing, to phonics, to numbers, to arts and craft, to writing and being potty trained; just name it!
She absolutely loves the food and even demands I make the same thing at home. Nargis is no ordinary childminder; her setting is like a nursery but homely. They are accommodating especially with schedules. Words are not enough to describe our experience. Even as my daughter has started reception she’s asking to still go to Nargis 😄. Honestly they’ve been amazing. And this is not to say I haven’t tried others. They are truly the best and that’s where my child feels comfortable.

We’ve felt very lucky to have had Paula to babysit for our lively eight-year-old twins. She’s extremely kind, thoughtful and capable, and importantly, popular with the children. On one occasion, she collected them from school, drove them home and stayed until our return in the late evening, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her for a longer stint. She was previously nanny for a local family and I always noticed how well she looked after all of them.
Me and my husband visited Marie when checking out childcare options for our baby. We were very impressed with Marie’s set up - it was very clean, well equipped and Marie had planned everything right down to menus and a new dedicated playroom. What stood out even more was how Marie interacted with our son and made an effort to get to know his personality and interests even in the initial visit. Although we decided a nursery was right for us due to our scheduling needs, we agreed that if we were to go with a childminder it would definitely be Marie.
Liyah demonstrated a high level of professionalism and maintained clear communication. She was welcoming and arranged for the children to enjoy a nearby park, ensuring they had a positive experience. Her punctuality and dedication were evident as she helped settle the children to bed in my absence. Her knowledge of child care, gained through both practical experience and professional training, is commendable.
Charlotte was a wonderful babysitter. Super communicative and put my boys at ease on their first time being babysat. She was very punctual, really personable and easy to talk to. It was lovely to be able to enjoy a date night and know the kids were well looked after.
My son has spent a year with Kay (until starting reception this September)
That year was filled with adventures, fun and learning new things.
My son has developed in a lot of ways under Kay's kind and empathetic wing.
I could go to work with ease knowing that he is having a quality care provided.
I feel strongly that children should spend as much outdoor time as possible and Kay absolutely does that. ( in all seasons and kinds of weather!)
It was lovely to see pictures of my son enjoying time at the beach , local park , gardens etc
Thank you again for taking such great care for my son.
I can highly recommend KayCare.
We cannot recommend Nadine highly enough. Our son absolutely loved going to Nadine’s and spending time in her home. From the very beginning, Nadine was kind, caring, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about our son.
He loved Nadine and looked forward to going to her for his childcare so much that he would even ask to go at the weekends! When we moved away from Bromley, leaving Nadine was the only reason we were sad to change his childcare. Even now, our son still talks about her and the wonderful time he had with her.
We truly appreciate everything Nadine did to support our son’s development, confidence and happiness. We feel incredibly grateful to have known Nadine and her beautiful family, and we will always look back on our time with them with so much warmth and appreciation.
Thank you for everything, Nadine, you will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
Thank you so much for accepting my last-minute booking to babysit my son. I really appreciate you coming half an hour earlier to help us out.
My son felt very comfortable with you right away, and it seemed like he had known you for a while. I was especially glad that you managed to put him down for a nap, as this is something he usually doesn’t want to do with a stranger.
Thank you again for being so kind, patient, and caring. I really appreciate your help and would definitely recommend you!
Gisele and her team have been instrumental in helping my boys grow in their confidence and build on their milestones. My oldest has just started Reception and because of Gisele’s hard work and dedication to the children he was fully prepared to start school. Gisele and the team always ensure to provide the best care for the children, lots of creative activities are planned and home cooked delicious meals are made everyday! She even managed to get my picky eater to improve his eating habits! Any time we had a query or worry, Gisele always reassured us and offered support along the way. As a teacher, it’s always harder to find someone to look after your child and as a mum you always worry but leaving my boys at Gisele is like leaving them with family. Thank you so very much for everything you’ve done for my boys. We are truly blessed to have found you and the team.

Our little boy has just finished 3 years with Giselle and her team. He's gone from a baby to a confident little boy. He's loved the setting and built close attachments to the team there, LOVES the food and outdoor space.
He's formed close friendships and is very able to share; a testement to the culture they create in this setting.
Thoughtful crafts around key calender moments and endless creativity with activities, which we get to see on the daily photos uploaded, which we loved.
Really recommend this family setting.
Anita, she is wonderful childcare, my daughter when to her from 8 months to almost 5 years.

She is also is very supportive with parent and flexible for this I bow down to you.
She is been very supportive to take my child early in ( not many childcare do this )
,,Thank you for helping me grow up Auntie’ E**a
We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for our son. From the moment he started, shelly has gone above and beyond to make sure he was happy, cared for, and always learning and having fun.
Shelly has given him so many wonderful experiences and memories, from trips to LEGOLAND, Blackpool and the Sea Life Centre, to little outings for Costa Coffee and exploring all the beautiful National Trust parks. She has always made learning exciting and turned everyday adventures into opportunities for him to discover and learn something new.
We have seen such a huge difference in our son since being in her care. He has learnt so much, grown in confidence, become more independent, and developed so many new skills. Most importantly, he has been so happy and loved being there.
It was very emotional saying goodbye as he starts school, but we will always be so grateful for everything she has done for him and for all the amazing memories she has given him. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for someone who genuinely cares about the children in her care.
Shelly will be missed by all of us she became part of the family. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder.
Thank you so much.
We even did a script on how great Shelly was from us when my son left -
To Shelly, With Love ❤️
Three and a half years have come and gone,
And somehow our little Taylor has grown so strong.
From the very first day we left him in your care,
You gave him love, kindness, laughter and so much to share.
You’ve watched him grow through every stage,
From little adventures to turning the page.
And all the memories you’ve helped him create
Are memories we’ll treasure and never forget.
There were trips to LEGOLAND, adventures to SEA LIFE too,
And so many exciting things for Taylor to do.
Playgroup, fun, and days filled with smiles,
You’ve made his childhood special in so many little ways.
And of course, we can’t forget those special trips out,
That’s what it’s all about!
Costa or Starbucks, whichever was the day,
A little babychino always made him smile that way.
And then there’s i***** & H ***** too,
Two very special friends he made because of you.
The friendships and memories he’s made along the way
Will stay with him long after his last day.
Shelly, you became so much more than a childminder,
You became someone we trusted, loved and admired.
Knowing Taylor was happy, safe and cared for by you
Meant more to us than you could ever truly know.
Tomorrow is goodbye, and honestly, it’s hard,
Because leaving you feels like closing a very special part.
But when Taylor looks back on these years someday,
We hope he remembers all the fun along the way.
So thank you, Shelly, for everything you’ve done,
For every adventure, every cuddle and every bit of fun.
Thank you for helping our little boy grow,
And for giving him memories that will always glow.
Three and a half years of laughter, love and care,
So many precious memories for us to share.
Taylor may be moving on to something new,
But a little piece of our hearts will always belong to you.
Thank you for being such a special part of Taylor’s childhood.
We could never truly put into words how grateful we are.
You will always be remembered with so much love. ❤️

She's a fantastic person. My daughter loves her so much. They made lovely crafts, then a costume, etc and gave her a great experience with new people. Daisy is very lovely, punctual, a good listener, and, as a nursery practitioner, she is a charm for my family. Thank you Daisy ❤️
