I honestly couldn’t recommend Kerry enough! ❤️
Kaia is 13 months old and goes to Kerry’s three full days a week. Kaia has always struggled with separation anxiety, so leaving her has been really hard, but Kerry has been absolutely amazing with her. She’s been so patient, understanding and reassuring, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better to look after her. It means so much knowing Kaia is in safe hands and being cared for by someone who genuinely wants the best for her.
Kerry’s house is such a lovely setting, and you can really see how much thought and effort she puts into everything she does. What I love most is that Kerry doesn’t just look after the children all day, she actually works with them and puts so much into their learning and development. She follows a curriculum that focuses on things like independence and helping the children learn new skills, all while making sure they feel safe, happy and supported.
Even at just 13 months old, Kaia is given so many opportunities to learn, explore and develop at her own pace. It’s lovely knowing that her days are filled with so much more than just being looked after.
As a mum, leaving your little one is hard enough, especially when they struggle with being away from you, but Kerry has made such a difference to us. I’m so grateful for the care she gives Kaia and for all the time, patience and effort she puts into helping her settle and grow.
We’re so lucky to have found Kerry, and I honestly wouldn’t want Kaia to be anywhere else.
Lesley looked after my daughter for 2 years from age 1 onwards. My daughter loved going to her house, there was always warmth and kindness and I highly recommend! Lesley was always really flexible and helpful providing support needed.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Azadi provides for our daughter. It has been so lovely to see how happy and settled she is, and how much she has developed since being with Azadi.
She is learning so many new skills, building her vocabulary, learning nursery rhymes, practising numbers and becoming more independent. We can really see the positive impact Azadi has had on her development.
We also really appreciate the effort Azadi makes to take the children out to local parks, farms and the library. It gives them such a lovely variety of experiences and opportunities to explore and learn. The regular pictures and videos she sends us are also really reassuring and allow us to see what they have been getting up to during the day.
Most importantly, Azadi has completely put us at ease. Our daughter is so comfortable with her and settles with her quickly, which means so much to us as parents. We know she is happy, safe and genuinely cared for.
Azadi has become much more than just our daughter’s childminder — she has genuinely become like a member of our family. We are so grateful for everything she does and feel very lucky to have found someone who cares for our daughter so warmly and lovingly.
"I cannot recommend this childminder highly enough! She, along with Neima and Mía, are absolutely wonderful, so friendly, and treat my son with so much love. They care deeply about the children and their well-being. Leaving my baby for the first time was very difficult for me, and I felt a lot of fear at the beginning. However, over time, I realized how much this amazing team has helped us.
They are incredibly kind and welcoming to both me and my wife, always making us feel at ease. They support me constantly and teach my son so many things. He is a Spanish speaker, but thanks to them, he is learning English so fast and can already say many words! The environment is excellent, the food is great, and he behaves beautifully there. I love that they always take the children out on trips and activities. They are excellent professionals and beautiful human beings!"
Our daughter has attended Kirsty's setting since September 2024 (aged 1). The experience has been nothing short of wonderful!
Our daughter quickly settled in her care and in the last two years has come on leaps and bounds in all areas. Kirsty has helped and encouraged her with counting, reading and writing skills (e.g - how to hold a pen / mark making etc) as well as social skills.
Most recently Kirsty supported in getting our daughter ready for a transition to a nursery setting. Building our daughter's confidence in daily tasks such as taking shoes on and off, hanging coat on peg, using the toilet etc. Kirsty listened to what routines and skills we were working on at home and continued this within her setting.
Kirsty's open communication style is wonderful. Thorough verbal updates at the end of each day and via message where required. We also receive comprehensive written updates with pictures each term. These write ups inform us of what our daughter has been up to and what she has achieved in in relation to the EYFS framework.
Kirsty is professional, genuine and very caring. We know that our child is safe, happy and content in her care every week. She is the best!
I have used Katy’s childminder services for over five years now. Two out of three of my children have left now they are older and with only my daughter left I would be absolutely heartbroken when she leaves for secondary school.
Katy provides a home from home comfort, puts so much time and support into each child.
Katy teaches life long skills involves the children with cooking home cooked meals, outdoor trips and activities during half terms.
It’s clear all children are well cared for kept busy and genuinely enjoy their time at Katy’s house. I would happily recommend Katy’s services to any parents.
We’ve been so happy with Katy’s House Wrap Around and School Holiday Care. From the very beginning, Katy has been so friendly, caring and welcoming, which made it much easier for us to feel comfortable leaving our son in her care.
Our son genuinely enjoys going and always comes home happy, talking about the fun activities and things he has been doing. It’s such a relief as a parent knowing they are somewhere they feel safe, happy and well looked after.
Katy is lovely and takes the time to get to know the children and we’ve always felt that she genuinely cares about our son’s development. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support she provides and would definitely recommend Katy’s House to other parents.
Rachel has been a fantastic babysitter to my 5 year old daughter and now my new baby.
She is very knowledgeable in all things child care and provides a full service, including preparing tasty, nutritious meals, to reading bedtime stories.
My daughter is always very excited for when I go out and Rachel's services are required.
Rachel has worked with my family for around 3 years and I can highly recommend her services.

Sara has been an amazing childminder for our little girl. She has thrived in her care. I am dreading the day she has to move on as every day I go to work I feel reassured that she is happy and well looked after. Returning to work after maternity leave is very daunting and Sara accommodated a built up transition period which meant our little girl was well settled by the time I went back to work fully.
Sara is kind, nurturing and offers lots of different activities. We couldn’t ask for anymore.
We cannot recommend Melissa highly enough. She is entirely reliable, trustworthy, and extremely honest which brings parents immense peace of mind-but Melissa goes far beyond being just dependable.
What makes her truly unique is her being a fully qualified Montessori directress, which shines through in her daily approach.
She fosters curiosity, and confidence in young minds, giving children the absolute best start in life. On top of her exceptional educational background, she is brilliant at arts and crafts and has a very good sense of humour giving children a creative and fun learning experience.
Melissa has been exceptionally good with our special needs son, and
her communication has always been clear and transparent.
Melissa is genuinely invested in the emotional and developmental well-being of the children in her care. Any family would be very lucky to have her
Illy made us feel totally at ease and comfortable and our 14 month old boy was drawn to her immediately.
For the 2 weeks she looked after him she was kind and gentle and ensured he had a fun activity filled day.
Communication was good and we loved getting videos and photos of him having fun at the library or in the park. At our house she played and sang to him and was remarkably adept at getting him through nappy changes which is a challenge at this age.
Requests and around meals and nap times were followed and she made a concerted effort to help him with his language and walking. Even over a short time we could see him progress faster.

Our daughter has been attending Saeeda's setting for a few months now. From the moment we met her we had a good feeling about her and our daughter has settled in very well with her. She is a great communicator and is very clear with everything our daughter does throughout the day. She provides lovely, engaging activities and takes the children on occasional outings to the park and local library. We feel very comfortable and happy with Saeeda as a childminder for our daughter.
We are so happy with the care Oskar receives. From the very beginning, he has been made to feel so welcome, safe and loved. He is always happy to go and comes home smiling, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in such caring hands.
We really appreciate the time, patience and attention given to him, as well as all the lovely activities and experiences he gets to enjoy. It’s wonderful to see how much he is growing in confidence and developing. We feel very lucky to have found such a kind, dedicated and trustworthy childminder and would highly recommend her to any family.❤️
My little one starts with Lesley when she just turn 6 months old, as a parent we worried and thought about our little one on how she’s been and all without us, Lesley updated us and we are delighted that our little one is doing great on her first day, and so the next day and forward, we know our little one is being loved and taken cared of because when we get her she has the biggest smile, and when we drop her off she just have the biggest smile seeing Lesley in the morning and i bet she cant wait being there during the day while mummy and daddy is at work. Our Little one learns waving goodbye with Lesley. Learns how to socialize, loves more outdoors ( as they always went for a walk specially when the weather is lovely) Lesley and Trevor are totally the blessing for us , we never had a tiny worry while our child is with them.
Reason for Leaving: we family decided to move up North to be closer to our little ones grandparents.

We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives from Eliza. She has been with Eliza since she was nine months old and is now just over two, and they have built such a lovely, strong bond.
What really stands out to us is her energy and enthusiasm. She gets genuinely excited about the activities she plans and takes so much pride in our daughter’s achievements and successes. You can really see how much she enjoys what she does and how much she cares about the children in her care.
As parents, one of the most important things to us is feeling completely comfortable and confident when we leave our daughter, and we genuinely feel that way. We know she is safe, happy and well cared for. If she is having a difficult day, Eliza is incredibly good at soothing her, understanding what she needs and quickly redirecting her.
Communication is also excellent. We are kept updated throughout the day about what they have been doing and how our daughter is getting on, and any concerns or issues are communicated clearly and appropriately. We also really appreciate how approachable and easy to reach she is, even outside of her usual working hours when needed. We have always felt that we can speak to her about anything.
We love the variety of experiences she gives our daughter. They are out and about every day, visiting parks, playgrounds, playgroups, museums, aquariums and so many other places. She has even taken her to places such as the Spinnaker Tower and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
There is always something new and exciting for her to experience, and we feel this has contributed so much to her confidence, development and curiosity.
We also feel very reassured by the way safeguarding is handled. Any marks or concerns are communicated to us properly, and we have complete confidence that our daughter’s wellbeing and safety are always taken seriously.
Ultimately, we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Our daughter clearly adores her, and we can see how happy and settled she is in her care. Knowing that we can leave our child with someone we trust completely is priceless, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, enthusiastic and genuinely committed childminder.
Karishma is an incredible nanny. My little girl loves to engage in pretend play & invite people into her own little world, & Karishma managed to engage her very well each & every time. She’s warm, playful, & attentive, & has a natural desire to help children with their early learning. So every now & then, a play session would gently evolve into practicing colours or reading. We can’t wait to have her again!

I'm extremely happy with how well my baby has settled into nursery. The staff have been so kind and reassuring from day 1. They immediately made us feel welcome and take great care in every aspect. The facilities are clean and well maintained, with a variety of toys and activities for babies. When settling in to nursery, they would reassure me and let me know how my baby was doing throughout the day. This has continued with daily detailed feedback. My baby is more confident around people and more independent at meal times as they have helped me on my weaning journey. I know I can speak to the manager about any worry and we can work together on my baby's care and development. I feel completely at ease knowing my baby is safe, happy and well looked after. We've had such a lovely experience, and I would personally recommend Alhudaa nursery to any parent. Ms Aisha and staff are working very hard. This is definitely an outstanding nursery, and I'm so glad I chose it for my baby!
I couldn’t not have asked for a better childcare service! Claudine and her team have been nothing but short of amazing. My daughter joined when she was 11 months old and left at the age of 3. It took her a while to settle in but Claudine and her team were very patient and my daughter absolutely loved her time there and frequently asks to visit. Everyone is friendly and attentive, I definitely felt that my daughter was nurtured and safe during her time here. The setting is clean and has an environment that feels like home. The children go on many fun trips, given healthy nutritious meals and are supported with their developmental milestones and learning. You can see that the staff here absolutely love and care for the children. Claudine engages with parents through regular updates along with hosting events such as Christmas parties and Sports day/graduation which are not to be missed. If I could have kept my daughter with CCS I would, as they have become such an essential part of my village. It takes a lot of trust to leave your child in the care of others and I truly felt secure and comfortable with CCS providing this care. Overall I would 10/10 recommend to anyone considering using CCS.
Sofia is amazing, very warm personality, clean house. She always have fresh cook food in with garden and activities for kids on any occasion. When sunny they are out and about playground too, my daughter made some good friendships there and memories. Very creative time, always recycle updates and photos what's they are up to, what they learn and how they spending time.Hightly recommend.
