Shadia has not been with us very long but our 3.5 y.o. very quickly adopted her. Shadia is very respectful and organised, also giving numerous updates during the day which is truly valuable and reassuring as a parent. She insists on good manners and is really proactive in playing, learning and getting to know the world. We are a French speaking family but our daughter felt very comfortable switching to English within days and is now more confident that she was before. We are very pleased and would recommend Shadia to friends.

Lorna has helped my eldest daughter
for the past few years, mainly with maths, and we could not be more grateful for the difference she has made. Not only is Lorna a brilliant teacher, but she is also amazing at the psychology of learning . She built my daughters confidence and love for learning, and really understood the ways to get her engaged and moving forward.
We are so pleased to have met Lorna and will absolutely continue using her for support with all our girls. Our middle is loving her lessons and Lorna already understands their different learning needs entirely!
We had the incredible privilege of having Zsuzsa as our nanny from the time our son was six months old until he was two and a half. During those two years she became an irreplaceable part of our daily life, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Zsuzsa arrived every morning at 8am without fail and was consistently punctual and dependable. From the moment she arrived she would take over our son's full daily care – dressing him, feeding him, changing nappies, putting him down for naps and planning engaging activities throughout the day.
As our son grew older she regularly took him to playgrounds, playgroups, museums and indoor play spaces, always ensuring he was active, stimulated and happy. She knows countless songs, rhymes and games and has an incredible natural creativity when it comes to entertaining and developing young children.
During nap times she would take care of everything related to the child and the household around him – laundry, tidying the kitchen, organising toys, washing and folding clothes, restocking nappies and wipes and keeping our son’s wardrobe perfectly organised. She always noticed when supplies were running low and made sure everything was prepared in advance.
What truly sets Zsuzsa apart is her extraordinary work ethic. She is tireless, proactive and always looking for ways to help. If there was ever a quiet moment she would immediately find something useful to do – tidying, organising, cleaning or preparing things for the child. She never sat on her phone and approached every task with care and dedication.
Most importantly, Zsuzsa loved our son as if he were her own grandchild. You could see genuine warmth and affection in every interaction – the way she spoke to him, comforted him and held him when he fell asleep in her arms. Our son absolutely adored her and often referred to her as his grandmother. The bond between them was truly special.
I should also mention that I am a stay-at-home father and worked from home during most of the time Zsuzsa was with us. Because of this I was able to observe her closely every day, and I can confidently say that she treated our child with patience, kindness and care at all times. It was also a pleasure working alongside her – she is respectful, discreet and naturally considerate in the home.
Zsuzsa left our family only because our son started nursery, but if we have another child we would welcome her back without hesitation.
Any family would be extremely fortunate to have Zsuzsa caring for their children. She is trustworthy, hardworking, loving and truly exceptional at what she does.
Although Zsuzsa may not have many written reviews yet, we spoke with other families she had worked for before hiring her. They all praised her highly, and after two years with us we can confirm that everything they said was absolutely true.
Agreed to job, had a chat on phone and she messaged day before to confirm, but in the morning didn’t turn up or answer calls or messages.
I missed a private medical appointment and lost money as a result.
I gave a day before posting review in case something had happened to her and she had a genuine reason but still no contact. Very disappointing

My daughter went to Tina's for 4 years, from the age of 1 to 4 years old and we couldn't be more grateful to have found Tina to look after her. Tina is patient and kind and she creates a loving, respectful, and fun environment for the children in her care. Anna loved going there from the beginning and over time Tina became a second mother to her. The days are organised around free play, activities (messy play, singing, story time, outings to the local parks), and food time. Tina has experience with the early years curriculum and also teaches the children phonics and maths. My daughter also loved Tina's homemade food. As a parent, we appreciated the "home away from home" environment; Tina's kind and patient behaviour towards the children and the personal relationship she clearly builds with each of the children in her care; as well as her flexibility. I could not recommend Tina enough, she's amazing.
Halima is a trusted and reliable person and good in building good relationships with the child and the whole family. Halima started looking after my children way back even before becoming a registered child minder. Children are well looked after under her care, feels happy and comfortable, to me is like a home away from home, am less anxious and able to concentrate when my child is with her, without forgetting she is a good cook too. I recommend her to parents who are looking for carrying and safe environments for their children.
I started bringing my daughter to Nancy when she was just 8 months old, and she’s now 14 months - the growth I’ve seen in her is honestly mind-blowing!
As a first-time mum, I was naturally very nervous, but Nancy immediately put me at ease by sending regular updates and photos, which she still does to this day. It honestly makes such a difference and gives me so much reassurance.
Nancy is incredibly attentive, caring, and you can genuinely see how much she loves all the children she looks after. My daughter absolutely adores her and her family - it’s always a struggle getting her to leave at home time! 😂
The environment is clean, warm, and welcoming - there’s truly nothing to fault. I plan to keep my daughter with Nancy for as long as possible. Choosing her was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. 10/10! 🤗
Rebecca came to stay last weekend while my husband and I went off to do a course. She was fantastic. The kids absolutely love her. I felt confident leaving Rebecca knowing she would sort it as I was very disorganised and hadn’t got food in etc
She got the oldest to his football fixture, took the kids out and about, homework done, cooked a roast which I got told was better than mine. Can’t wait to have her back! Thank you so much and I would highly recommend.

Our family would never have enough words to express how lucky we feel to have had our daughter at Bumblebee.
Our previous nursery closed unexpectedly, and Kelci welcomed us so warmly during what was a very stressful time. Looking back, we feel incredibly lucky that it happened, as it led us to her.
Our daughter has grown into a chatty, respectful, and funny toddler, surrounded by love and care. Always smiling to see her friends, Kelci and Gi!
Bumblebee is a setting where children are nurtured with creativity and kindness. Kelci is always surprising us with new activities, the children’s menu is fantastic, and the outdoor area is lovely.
As we are moving countries, when people ask what we will miss most about London, Bumblebee is one of the first things we mention ❤️
I had a really positive experience with SLT. I mostly needed them for breakfast club and afterschool pick up. They took great care of my daughter, and she felt happy and comfortable there. She always looked forward to going, which says a lot about the comfortable environment and the people.
Simone, Savannah and Carla were consistently good-natured, warm, and friendly. They always made us both feel welcome. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in capable and caring hands.
I would definitely recommend this childcare provider to others looking for a supportive, safe, nurturing and fun place for their child.
Our daughter has been going to Chapel House since she was 6 months old. She is now nearly 3 years old. She loves seeing Clare and all her friends and always gets so excited to go with a big smile always on her face. Clare does so many different activities with the children. We really appreciate everything Clare does. It’s so nice to drop your child off where you feel very comfortable and at ease.
Hanifa has been taking care of our one-year-old for the past two months. She is a caring and dedicated nanny who looks after not just the child, but the whole family.
Always punctual and reliable, she creates engaging indoor activities and makes sure our baby gets out every day, whether to the park or the library.
We highly recommend her.

Shana came to us at a time we really needed her, she was amazing with both our daughter and supporting us. You couldn’t wish for a nicer person to look after your child, we don’t trust almost anyone with our daughter, but we genuinely fully trusted Shana - she’s a one of a kind. If you ever need someone, you should consider Shana first, as you likely won’t ever look elsewhere. She went above and beyond whenever she could.
Renata looked after my 3 year old son two days a week for 6 months.
Renata is full of energy and provides constant entertainment and fun. She is also very hard-working, planning fun activities out every day and cooking nutritious meals from scratch. She is independent and experienced in taking care of children but also takes direction well and collaborates with you as a parent if necessary.
Renata was also flexible and would stay later if required which was a great help to us. She also babysat for us regularly.
Renata is incredibly caring and affectionate and my son quickly bonded with her. He is now at nursery more regularly but we have continued to rely on Renata for babysitting. My son is always asking for her and looks forward to her visits. We very much intend to stay in close contact. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny.

Chloe has been supporting our daughter, who has experienced emotional dysregulation at school and found her first year particularly challenging, while on the EHCP pathway for neurodivergence and/or SEN. She has worked closely with our family, providing 1:1 therapeutic play sessions to build confidence and support emotional regulation, which our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed, and the grounding tools she has shared have helped her express her feelings in healthy ways while also positively impacting our parenting, especially in communication and boundary setting.
Chloe has also provided valuable guidance to me and my partner on navigating communication with the school and understanding the EHCP process, which can often feel overwhelming.
