Choosing Daniela was the best decision I could have made. She is warm, kind and clearly very experienced with children. My daughter loved her immediately. She is someone you can trust from the very beginning, and we feel very lucky to have found her.

Our 2 year old has been with Nabila for almost a year and it’s has been wonderful ! Nabila is very calm and loving, making the children feel at ease and welcomed into her home and family. My son often says “ I love Nabila’s house and I love Nabila” and often asks to go on the weekends :-) She always has time to talk, is great at communicating and very quick at replying ! As working parents we appreciate her flexibility, and I feel at ease knowing my son is with her. She has been really helpful with coming up with creative ways to help support napping schedules for our very active busy brained son ! She seems to take everything in her stride and provides wonderful care.
Nabila clearly has excellent experience of the EYFS curriculum and comes up with fun and educational daily activities for the children to engage with from going the supermarket to learn about maths to exploring in nature and creating art. You can tell she loves her job, and the children feel this!
Overall, I cannot recommend Nabila enough! We are so grateful for her loving care and warm approach to all her interactions with us and her son.
Nabila has been absolutely brilliant with our twin toddler daughters. Finding childcare you can completely trust is always a worry, but Nabila immediately put my partner Sandra and me at ease with her warm, engaging, and professional approach.
She provides a fantastic, safe environment filled with great activities. It’s been wonderful to see how much our girls, have thrived and enjoyed their time in her care. Nabila is consistently reliable, communicates clearly with us, andpours her heart and soul into the work she does.
We cannot recommend her highly enough -to any parents looking for a dedicated and supportive childcare provider. She is a true five-star professional, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her! Although the girls are now at nursery we still use her services and consider her a friend.
Also, during a very difficult time when I lost my father earlier this year she was there for us in a way that went above and beyond. On our wedding day she looked after the girls and managed to get them dressed and to the wedding with no problems!
She is the best.

Marina was a lovely childminder and I was always really happy with the care she gave my daughter. I especially liked how inclusive her setting was. The children learned about different cultures, places and celebrations, and they were always doing something interesting.
They went out a lot, visited different places and learned about the world around them. I also really liked that Marina gave them healthy food and taught them little things like looking after their teeth and becoming more independent.
I am quite an anxious mum, so it meant a lot to me that Marina always kept me updated. She sent me pictures, told me where they had been, what my daughter had eaten, when she slept and woke up, and little things she had said or done during the day. I always felt like I knew how her day had gone.
Most importantly, my daughter was so happy there. She was always excited to go and have fun, and that made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I honestly wouldn’t have changed Marina for anybody else.
We had such a wonderful experience with Xenia! She was incredibly friendly, warm, and caring from the very beginning, and our 3-year-old absolutely loved spending time with her.
I was particularly impressed by how thoughtfully she planned activities for him. She included structured learning activities, such as helping him practise writing his name, while also making sure he had plenty of fun and active playtime. She took him to the park and soft play, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
It was clear that Xenia genuinely cares about children and knows how to keep them engaged, happy, and entertained. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our little one in her care.
I would highly recommend Xenia’s babysitting services to anyone looking for someone friendly, reliable, caring, and fantastic with children. We would definitely be happy to have her look after our little one again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I feel so lucky to have jade look after my little one, she has been great with her and they have what I would describe as a very special bond. Jade has also been very flexible when possible which helps a great deal! Lara loves going to Jade and on occasions grabs her shoes ready to go go go as Lara would say 🤣 the communication is really good as she sends pictures and small updates! For anyone whom is looking for someone to care for their child I would highly recommend
Brittany helped look after our toddler for about 9 months on Fridays. she was always timely and our boy loved having a friend on Fridays to explore with. our boy is particularly high energy and they spent the full day out and about at softplay and at parks, which is exactly what he needed. he always slept extremely well that evening which is a sign of a good day!
he was around 18 months old when Brittany started and quickly became one of Felix’s favourite days when he knew she was coming!
I’d highly recommended.

Maria has been looking after our son Alex (1 year and 1 month old) and we couldn’t be happier.
After a difficult experience in a nursery environment that left Alex unsettled, we made the decision to remove him and place him with Maria. It has made such a positive difference.
Maria is warm, patient, and genuinely caring.
Alex has settled beautifully with her and now looks forward to his days. The setting is calm, clean, and safe, with a lovely mix of play, outdoor time, and gentle routines that suit his age perfectly.
Maria is excellent at communicating with us – we always receive clear updates about his day, meals, naps, and progress.
She has helped rebuild Alex’s confidence after the nursery experience and treats him with real kindness and understanding.
We feel completely reassured leaving him in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Maria to any parent looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, and professional childminder.
Thank you, Maria, for everything you do for Alex.

Hayley is a great childminder, she always made my daughter feel comfortable, my daughter instantly loved her and her family and she was always so excited to go to Hayley’s house..
Hayley always kept me updated with photos and a description of the day which was so reassuring and she always provided balanced meals and healthy snacks so i didn’t have to worry.
Highly recommend!!
After a negative experience with our previous child minder. We couldn’t be happier with the care our child has received from Sumera. From the very beginning, our child has been made to feel safe, happy and genuinely cared for. Sumera is warm, kind and attentive, and it is clear that she really gets to know each child as an individual.
We especially appreciate the range of activities and experiences provided, as well as the regular communication and updates throughout the day. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that our child is in such a caring and nurturing environment.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Sumera to any parent looking for someone they can trust completely with their child. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do.

Alison looked after our daughter for over 2.5 and is honestly the best childminder we could have asked for. She cared for her like she was her own. Daphne absolutely loved going, and would run in every morning with a big smile in her face. She used to be quite shy, but has really grown in confidence. They went out most days, to the park, the library, and sometimes even the beach! She was encouraged to try new things, eat new foods and really came out of her shell. Every day they did different activities, learning all about colours, cooking, counting, singing, writing her name. You name it, they did it. She would come home with great stories of what they'd been upto. This has really set her up well for school and she went in on her first day really happy. The teachers have fed back how capable she is - eating, going to the toilet herself, recognising numbers and letters. She can already read most 3 letter words, count beyond 20 and pretty much write her name, all thanks to Alison. We couldn't be more grateful for everything they've done for her and Daphne misses Alison a lot.
I am extremely happy with the care provided by the Nads Happy Faces, She is such a positive, caring and friendly person, and always creates a warm and welcoming environment for the children. The setting is clean, safe and well looked after, which gives me great peace of mind. Everyone is very friendly and approachable, and the staff are genuinely lovely, supportive and attentive. There is always such a positive atmosphere, and you can really see how much care and effort goes into making the children feel happy, comfortable and valued. I would highly recommend this childminder to anyone looking for a caring, friendly and positive environment for their child.

We have had our son (four years old) at Andreas for a few weeks now. The first four days, I left him there crying; it was heartbreaking for me as a parent. But Andrea reassured me that he would adjust and do well. My son had never stayed in a child care setting in his four years, so we understood he might find it challenging at first. Andrea kept us updated, and she was patient and resourceful with him. She came up with the lovely idea of letting him choose his reward stickers and gave him his first one after the first crying-free drop-off. Also, I want to mention that our son's first language isn't English so that communication may have been a bit confusing for both my son and Andrea. Still, the language barrier hasn't been something to worry about for Andrea, and she has been very good with our son and involved from the beginning. Our son loves animals, and having Dexter there was a big plus for him. 🐈♥️
Our son has grown to enjoy his time at Andrea's, and no longer cries at drop-off. He comes home very happy and tells us, very excited, how his time went there. We are happy that he is making new friends, building confidence, and improving his communication, which will prepare him for starting school next year. Andrea puts a lot of effort into her work, keeps her place well maintained, and constantly tries new ways to offer better alternatives for children. Also, when we went for the first viewing, I communicated to Andrea how my son loves dinosaurs, and she said she would have the dinosaur toys ready for his starting day, and she did. She is so thoughtful and pays close attention to detail.
Overall, we are very pleased with Andrea, and we have already recommended her to friends and family; we will consider her for our youngest when the time comes.
Thank you, Andrea.
Sumera has been wonderfully supportive of my child Achillie. Always so kind and caring of our child, helps and supports him when he needs and has accommodated him whilst really getting to know and understand him. Sumera brings her experience and knowledge together to tailor the care to the needs of the child which has meant my childs anxieties have been soothed and he is genuinely excited to attend her childcare setting! Couldn't be more grateful!

Honestly, I feel so blessed to have come across Syeda. My daughter started at Syeda’s just before she turned one, and she is now almost two. I was very anxious when she first started, as I had never left my daughter with anyone before. Syeda was so warm, welcoming and understanding, and after just a few settling-in sessions, my daughter was ready and now absolutely loves going to Syeda’s.
Syeda provides such a lovely, nurturing environment and always makes sure the children have a variety of activities to enjoy, from messy play and creative activities to outdoor play and exploring. I really love that my daughter gets to experience so many different activities while having fun and learning at the same time.
My daughter even talks about Syeda’s and the little friends she has made there, which gives me so much reassurance that my baby girl is genuinely happy and enjoys her time there.
My daughter has never really liked fruit, and I hadn’t even mentioned this to Syeda, but she regularly encourages her to try different fruits without any pressure. It’s little things like this that show how attentive and caring she is.
I honestly can’t recommend Syeda enough. She is caring, patient, welcoming and genuinely goes above and beyond for the children. Knowing that my daughter is happy, cared for and having such lovely experiences while I’m at work gives me complete peace of mind. We feel very lucky to have found her! ❤️
Madi recently babysat my two boys, and I was really happy with her. She arrived early, was friendly, organised and made me feel completely comfortable leaving the boys with her. She was brilliant at keeping them entertained, and they really enjoyed spending time with her. She was also incredibly helpful around the house and even helped with some cleaning and tidying, which I really appreciated as a busy mum.
Madi is reliable, caring and great with children. I would definitely ask her to babysit for me again and would happily recommend her to other families. Thank you Madi!
We couldn’t recommend Donna and Little Pips highly enough. Our daughter absolutely flourished during her time there, and it was so lovely to see her grow in confidence, become more independent and build such wonderful relationships.
The thing I loved most about Little Pips was how much our daughter could always just be herself. Donna created such a warm, nurturing and homely environment where she felt completely comfortable being her own little person. She was always encouraged to explore, learn and have fun at her own pace, while being given so much love and reassurance along the way.
It was clear from day one how much Donna genuinely cares about the children in her setting, and we always felt that our daughter was truly known, understood and cherished.
We will always be incredibly grateful to Donna for everything she has done for her and would wholeheartedly recommend Little Pips to any parent looking for a wonderful, caring and nurturing setting.
I genuinely don’t think we could ever put into words how grateful we are that we found Andy and Irrah.
From the very beginning, they have been amazing. They absolutely bent over backwards to squeeze our daughter in for us and we will always be so grateful that they did.
They put so much into the children they look after. The love and care they give them, the activities they plan and the places they take them are just incredible. Our daughter has already been to RAF Cosford, Twycross Zoo and on so many lovely days out. They genuinely go above and beyond to give the children amazing experiences and you can see how much of their heart and soul goes into what they do.
They’ve also been amazing with us as parents. We get lovely updates and photos throughout the day, they always tell us what she’s been doing and they’ve supported and reassured us through the whole transition of me going back to work. Knowing she’s so happy and well cared for has made such a huge difference.
But I think the biggest thing for us is seeing how our daughter is with them. The way she looks at Andy and Irrah, how happy she is when she sees them and how settled and comfortable she is with them means absolutely everything. We know when we leave her that she is loved and cared for, and there really isn’t anything more we could ask for.
We say to each other all the time how lucky we are to have found them and how lucky our daughter is to have them in her life.
They really are so much more than just childcare to us and we will forever be grateful for everything they do.
From the very beginning, she has been caring, reliable and genuinely attentive to our daughter’s needs. She has created a warm, safe and happy environment where our little one feels comfortable and enjoys her time there. Our girl is also always getting healthy and nutritious meals, and ticks of all 5/5 a day 🍎.
We really appreciate the updates, communication and the care and attention she puts into making sure our daughter is happy and well looked after. It’s such a relief as a parent to know your child is in safe hands and genuinely cared for.
We couldn’t be happier with the care she provides and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring and professional childminder. ❤️
