Bumble Bells has been an incredible source of warmth, care, and joy for our little one from age of 2.5 to 4 years old. From collecting him safely each day from preschool to welcoming him into a space filled with kindness. The delicious homemade meals were a daily highlight so he never returned home hungry, and we loved knowing he was eating so well. We also received great support on an ad-hoc basis which has been amazing support for us given we do not have family nearby.

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.

Sana looked after both of our children and has had our now nearly 5 year old since she was just 2. She is absolutely adored by her and she was very sad to have to stop spending lots of time with her to start school.
Sana responds positively to your wishes and supports and advises to the best of her ability. She is super flexible and shows kindness in everything she does. The children do lots of super fun activities including trips to the zoo, soft play and local parks. Sana also has a good network of other Childminder’s who meet up and celebrate birthdays etc- it’s really lovely! Thank you Sana!

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.
Practical she was her second mom my daughter love her so much she is caring and loving and understands kids so well.
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 )

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. ❤️
Cath
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 ❤️
Soma welcomed us into her home-based setting and put our minds at ease immediately. She communicated well throughout our son's time with her. And most importantly our son had a great time with her each day - enjoying creative activities, going to the nearby park and playing with all the toys.
Also he struggles with variety of foods and has a milk intolerance, and she was able to help find safe foods and cater to his intolerance.
As others have said, our son struggled with transitioning into nursery settings in the past, but he absolutely loved it here - practically ran in!

I’m so happy with my boys being with Asqa. Such a warming welcome, my boys felt very welcomed straight away: I can’t wait to see them bloom. She’s so kind and attentive towards them, always looking out for them and their safety. I’m very happy with this arrangement

Leaving your children in someone else's care is never easy, but Gisele and her team made the transition completely seamless. It’s clear how much love, energy, and genuine thought goes into every day. Seeing how happy, confident, and content our kids are at the end of the day is the ultimate joy. Gisele has built a warm, nurturing environment where children truly flourish, and we couldn't ask for a better childminder
My son has been with Anita since September 2024, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As a neurodiverse child, he has received exceptional care, support, and understanding from the very beginning. Anita has worked closely with both me and his preschool to ensure consistency across all settings, and her communication has always been excellent.
Since joining her setting, my son has made incredible progress, going from being completely non-verbal to confidently forming sentences and communicating his needs.
Most importantly, my son is happy, safe, and thriving. He loves attending and always looks forward to his time there. The setting is warm, welcoming, and full of happy, engaged children, which reflects the dedication and care Anita provides every day.
We are so grateful for everything Anita has done for our son and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and supportive childcare provider.
Vivian contacted me after I announced we were looking for last-minute childcare to watch our toddler who had fallen ill and needed to stay home from nursery. Vivian came to our house for two days to watch our little one while my husband worked from home. During the morning adjustment and breaks, he was very impressed with how Vivian handled everything. Our little one is sometimes sceptical with strangers, and doubly so when she's unwell. But Vivian managed to win her over quickly, taking her out for walks, giving her snacks and playing with her. Through both days my husband heard her continuously interacting and engaging with our little one.

Showmiya has been lovely with my twins during the summer holidays. She encouraged them to try new foods, which was really nice to see. She is kind, caring and very flexible, which made everything so much easier for me. I’m really happy with her and would definitely recommend her! ❤️
Inna
Vesna has been with our family for four years, and I genuinely can’t recommend her highly enough. She started looking after my older daughter when she was 12 months old and has been part of my younger daughter’s life since she was born.
Over the years, Vesna became much more than a nanny, she became part of our family. She developed an incredibly warm and loving relationship with both of our girls, and they absolutely adore her. I always felt completely comfortable leaving my children in her care and trusted her entirely.
Vesna is very experienced with babies and young children and supported us through everything from the newborn stage and breastfeeding to weaning, potty training and beyond. She is extremely reliable, punctual and organised, but also warm, positive and lots of fun.
She is very proactive and loved taking the girls out to music and dance classes, museums, parks and other activities. She was also wonderful whenever they were unwell, calm, sensible and always happy to take them to the doctor if needed.
Our circumstances have now changed as both girls are starting school and preschool, which is the only reason we no longer need a nanny. I would employ Vesna again without hesitation and feel incredibly lucky that our girls spent their early years with someone who genuinely loved and cared for them.
Thank you for everything, Vesna. You are an absolute star! ❤️
I could not have dreamt of a better childminder than Diane. Our daughter Rosetta was in her care for 16 months, and Diane, her husband Kevin and son Lemar have helped to give Rosetta a wonderful start in life by welcoming her into their home and immersing her in a world of love, play, education and discipline. We actually live some distance away, so I had initial reservations about the arrangement, but I grew to really enjoy the 25-minute bike ride to Diane's house and the return journey, and having to do it twice a day even made me a bit fitter! It was always a pleasure to spend 5 minutes chatting with whoever opened the door on arrival and then again when I collected Rosetta — Diane's family are just really nice people, and they have so much experience of looking after little ones that they really are a well-oiled machine. I learnt a lot from Diane about parenting, who was always happy to offer advice based on her vast knowledge of the journey from baby to toddler, and, really, it has been the most enormous privilege for us to have had her in our lives. We will miss the whole family.
We wanted our children to feel like they were at home even after we had to return back to work, and this is exactly what Gisele and her team have provided. The children get plenty of cuddles, lots of fun play, the perfect balance of gentle discipline and are stretched to learn in a way that is comfortable for their age group. As a teacher myself I spent hours researching the right provider and I’m so glad we settled on Gisele. Our children have thrived in her care!
