Renu has truly been a second mum to both of my sons, Girik and Harshiv.
Choosing Renu as our childminder was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She cared for both of my boys from the age of one until they started nursery, and her home quickly became their second home.
Renu has a remarkable ability to engage, nurture, and encourage children. Under her care, my boys thrived in so many ways. They developed healthy eating habits, learned new skills every day, and grew in confidence. She especially helped them discover a love for dance and supported them in overcoming their stage fear, which was wonderful to see.
What we appreciated most was the warm, caring, and inclusive environment she created. She celebrated different festivals and traditions, helping the children learn about and respect different cultures. She regularly took them to parks and playgroups, giving them valuable opportunities to socialise, explore, and learn. She also instilled important values such as kindness, good manners, and respect for others.
Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved going to Renu's house every day. They were always excited to see her, which gave us complete peace of mind as parents. The love, care, and strong foundation she provided during those early years have had a lasting impact on them.
We will always be grateful to Renu for everything she has done for our family and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, dedicated, and exceptional childminder.
❤️ Thank you, Renu, for being such a special part of Girik's and Harshiv's childhood.

Devon had our little girl from 8 months until just after she turned 2. She absolutely loved going from day one to the point she shut the door in my face and wanted to get inside as quickly as possible everyday!! She went above and beyond to ensure she gave her the best time there and so many learning opportunities. She regularly updated me throughout the day which as a first time mom leaving your 8 month old with someone is petrifying. From day 1 I felt comfortable Devon having our little girl, it was just like she was with family! I am so grateful to Devon for everything she has done with our little girl. She has only left the setting due to me taking time out with our second daughter so I will be looking after both myself. I was heartbroken to take her from the setting because of how much she loved it there! I can’t thank Devon enough for everything she has done for our little girl, she really was part of the family. Any child left with her would have the best time and is in the safest hands!
We whole heartedly recommend our incredible nanny, Ella, who cared for our son for over two years from age 17 months. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and wonderfully patient. Ella is knowledgeable about development and perfectly supported our son's introverted sensibilities, helping him build social skills, kindness, and confidence. She has superb judgement with health, allergies, and medical needs, and is a safe, confident driver. Ella has a fantastic local nanny network, keeping our son active and socialised and introducing us to other local families, which was so used as we were new to the area. Even our cat loves her!

Our son has been with Claire for 10 months now. He is so happy there, always arriving with a big smile on his face in the morning! It's clear that Claire and her team provide a really caring and happy environment, tending to the children's individual needs. From the daily updates and photos we can see that Robin and the other children have a lot of fun, with a variety of activities in the home and also on trips out to local parks, soft play, Ashton Court etc. There is a lovely garden divided into separate play areas for different activities, and Robin is always happy to see the rabbit!
As well as all the fun, Robin has developed so much since starting there. He is always coming home with new words and phrases, and has grown in confidence massively.
Claire maintains good communication with parents via WhatsApp for admin updates etc and an app for daily updates. She is always quick to respond to queries and her and the team are always happy to chat about any questions at the end of the day, as well as being flexible with timings if needed.
We're very happy we chose Beautiful Beginnings and are very grateful for the wonderful service they provide!
We have been with Debbie for over five years, and I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough.
She looked after my eldest son, Sarim, for around two years, and now she has been caring for my youngest, Saboor, for the past year. Watching both of my children grow with her care has been such a blessing.
Although we live in Andover and Debbie is based in Ludgershall, we happily make the drive because the trust, love, and care she provides are absolutely worth it. As parents, there is nothing more important than knowing your children are safe, happy, and genuinely loved, and that’s exactly how we feel every time we leave them with her.
Debbie creates such a warm, nurturing, and fun environment. She treats every child with kindness, patience, and genuine affection, and it shows in how excited my children are to see her. She has played such an important role in their early years, helping them learn, grow, and build confidence.
Finding someone you trust with your children is incredibly rare, and we feel so fortunate to have found Debbie. She has become much more than just a childminder to our family, and we are so grateful for everything she has done for Sarim and Saboor over the years.
Thank you, Debbie, for your unwavering care, dedication, and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of our children’s journey.

Catriona is such a natural with children! Currently caring for my 8 year old daughter, I couldn’t have got any luckier it’s like home from home! My daughter clicked with Catriona straight away, she is very maternal and has a real passion for children! I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my daughter 💜
My son has been going to Ms Yogini’s home nursery since he was 11 months old. We were nervous about sending him that young but Ms Yogi was so supportive during the transition. She gave him lots of care and attention, and we felt like he was at his home away from home.
He has learned a lot at Sanskar nursery through Ms Yogi and the other older kids around him. They always do fun, unique activities so the kids enjoy while learning. Ms Yogi spends one on one time with the children to get to know them individually, and gives us specific advice about what we can do at home to help our son develop. She makes a great variety of fresh tasty food every day so lunch time is definitely his favourite time of the day.
We feel very happy knowing that our son is closely cared for in a safe and loving environment. Thank you Ms Yogi!
Ever since my child joined the set-up we have seen a shift in his development. He is more receptive to everything we say and understands instructions at such a young age. The activities Marsh house makes him do, really propelled his interest in books and hygiene which we long struggled to inculcate. He is comfortable and happy outdoors and wants to walk. It is so refreshing to see this version where previously he would eat and sleep more at home than enjoy any of these. He comes back home and tries to tell how his day was with little words he picked from his childminder. Makes us feel very happy and secure regarding the daycare choice we made.Marsh house is absolutely the best decision we made.
Right from the start our daughter who is 4 warmed immediately to Casey. Lara loves Casey! We are mainly using Casey’s childcare services and also some babysitting which has all been so great. Casey has a natural warmth, enthusiasm and passion for children which is evident in how she comes across. Always plenty of activities and fun ones/ educational too from playing in the garden; indoors work and baking too! Our daughter always returns to us happy, even more chatty and asks when she is seeing Casey again! We feel very lucky to have found her and hope to continue to use as much as we can. Highly recommended.

Our daughter spent almost 3 years with Devon and I couldnt sing her praises any higher. She creates a warm, friendly and educational setting for the children to develop and grow safely. We have used other childcare providers and cannot even begin to compare. The communication and daily updates with pictures is so lovely to recieve, her home is safe and welcoming with a variety of toys and planned activities. Most of all the development in our daughter shines above all, she has been made to feel safe and confident to take risks. So many of the activities are educational which has meant that our daughter is ahead of all her peers in her new setting. I would highly recommend Devon as a minder, as a family we feel very lucky to have had her in our lives and we are very sad that this era is over!
After my little boy struggled to settle in nursery I found Amy and she has been everything I could have wished for and more. The most kind caring and passionate lady. Right from day one my little boy has adored her, he's like a different boy, so happy and content. I cannot thank her enough for all her support ad love for my little boy. I can now go to work without ever having to worry, she is a complete blessing. The icing on the cake is seeing all the photos of what they are getting up to during each day.
If you’re considering Neeta, please look no further. The care and love Neeta provides from day one is simply second to none. As first time parents and a pretty anxious mum, I had so many worries about leaving my child with someone I didn’t know. After many calls and meet ups with Neeta and she put my mind and heart at ease. Her priority is to treat each and every one of the kids as one of her own, constantly personalising what they need and communicating effectively. Our son Luca thrived under her care for 7 months and developed so many foundational skills that his current nursery in Australia constantly comment on- that’s all due to Neeta. She is a remarkable, thorough, warm, loving individual who will make every child feel safe, seen and loved beyond what you’ll find some place else. Not the mention her cooking is all fresh and nourishing - so much so my child has learnt the value and pleasure of eating good food. She is also so flexible and accommodating.

We are so grateful to have found Irina and Roma.They are amazing — kind, caring, patient and very professional. My child feels safe, happy and loved in there care, which means so much to me as a parent.
Irina creates a warm and friendly environment, and I can see how much effort she puts into making every day interesting, calm and enjoyable for the children. She is reliable, attentive and always keeps me updated, which gives me real peace of mind.
I would highly recommend Irina to any parent looking for a wonderful, trustworthy and caring childminder.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Karena.
When we moved back to Fort William, finding childcare was one of our biggest worries. Nursery waiting lists were years long and childminders are like hen's teeth, so finding Karena was a huge relief.
She is kind, caring, fun, patient and creates such a warm, active environment where children can really thrive. As an outdoor family, we loved that our daughter spent so much time exploring, playing and learning every day.
The progress our daughter has made has been amazing. Before she was even two and a half years old, she could count from 1 to 20, confidently recognised her colours and had developed an incredible vocabulary. She comes home happy, well-fed, happily exhausted after busy days, and has absolutely loved being with Karena.
It's clear how much Karena genuinely cares about every child she looks after, and she has created a wonderful environment where children feel safe, valued and excited to learn.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karena to any family. She has played such an important part in our daughter's early years, and we will always be grateful for everything she's done.

As a first time parent, its so difficult not to worry about having someone else looking after your child. Will they eat, will they sleep without me there? What if they don't?
The last two years, I have been incredibly lucky to have Claire care for my daughter. I felt reassured she was in safe hands from the very first settling in session. From then, Claire was in constant communication with us, with daily evening diaries highlighting, activities, outings and meals. I quickly stopped worrying about the above!
My little one has grown into a polite, friendly, and confident child, and a lot of that is because of the values and behaviours Claire sets with all her kids.
Claire has a real understanding of her kids from their understanding of the world, personal, social and emotional development, communication and language, and their individual ways of learning. From this, my 4 year old has thrived in Claire's setting and she is now getting ready to transition into Reception.
We couldn't be happier to have Amy looking after our son. She is very caring and genuinely invested in the children she looks after, and it's clear how much effort she puts into keeping them busy with lots of different activities and days out. We've also seen a real difference in our son's development since being with her, which has been great to see. He is always happy to see Amy and clearly enjoys his time there. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great childminder.
