We have been working with Rhiannon for the past few weeks, and I couldn't be happier to have found her. She is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and, most importantly, the children absolutely adore her.
I have a four-year-old son and a five-month-old baby, and they have both taken to her so well. They feel completely comfortable and happy in her care, which means so much to me as a mum.
As a mother of two young children, I rely on Rhiannon's help almost every evening, particularly with bedtime, as my husband often works long hours. Having someone as dependable, caring and trustworthy as her makes such a huge difference to our family, and I am incredibly grateful for her support.
I honestly cannot relate to the negative review at all. Our experience with Rhiannon has been nothing but positive. We feel very lucky to have her and are really looking forward to continuing to work with her!

Sarah has been taking care of our daughter since she was 11 months old, and she is now coming up to three. From the very beginning, Sarah has provided a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where our daughter has flourished.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Sarah's, and it has been wonderful to watch her grow in confidence and develop so much during her time there. She has built lovely relationships with both Sarah and the other children, and it's clear how much she enjoys being there.
Sarah provides a fantastic balance of fun and learning, with a wide variety of activities planned each week. We are always impressed by her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for all the children she looks after.
We receive regular updates on our daughter's progress and love seeing the wonderful activities she takes part in. Knowing that she is happy, safe, and so well cared for gives us complete peace of mind.
My partner and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful childminder, and we would highly recommend Sarah to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
My eldest girl started with Lorraine for afterschool pick-ups in 2023. New to the area we were looking for a reliable, flexible and nurturing Childminder who could provide a home away from home. Lorraine has provided just that and was our first choice when we welcomed our little boy in 2023. He began full-time with Lorraine in 2024. He loves going and happily waves me goodbye at the door. He has thrived in the small setting, whilst also enjoying socialising at the playgroups they attend. He has now begun preschool and teachers have commented on how well prepared he was for the setting. Credit to Lorraine for getting him ready for more independence and soon, reception.
My daughter, now in year 2, still enjoys Lorraine’s meals over mine :)
Highly recommend her and very grateful we found her so quickly after our move to the area.

Kind & patience
She was so lovely, kind and caring with my baby boy ( he got his 1 year old in her setting) and also with my 6 year old daughter with the pick up and drop off school runs
She sweet , always smiling and loving I highly appreciate her
Thank you my lovely 💕
My little boy is with Hollie and loves her! I receive regular updates and communication, he always eats well and comes home beaming after his day and even asks of her over the weekends which fills me with confidence that he’s enjoying his time with her. Plenty of activities and a good rotation for him. She’s kind and understanding and pays attention to the little things. Can’t recommend enough ☺️
Sally Ann has been absolutely brilliant. She has helped out with looking after my two young children at my mum’s house on several occasions, often at quite short notice, and has been a real help.
She is very friendly, reliable and accommodating, and is great with the children. She also gets on really well with my mum and has been a great support to her too.
I’m really grateful for all her help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sally Ann.
Lexi looked after our 6 month old daughter on Sunday and was fab! .She put my husband and I straight at ease leaving our baby with her who was grizzly while teething. We had hourly updates and came back to a very happy baby. Would highly recommend Lexi! Thanks so much
Our son is currently with Hollie and is just the loveliest person, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with how she is with our son. She’s so calm, gentle and patient with him, and you can tell how much he absolutely adores her. It makes us so happy seeing how comfortable and settled he is in her company. As a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is being cared for by someone who makes them feel so safe, happy and loved. We’re so grateful to Hollie for being so wonderful with our little boy. ❤️
I was due to come off maternity leave and start a new job my son was just over 10 months old when he started with Kerrie as soon as a met Kerrie i had a good feeling about her she just has a really kind and caring demeanor. She made the process so easy and has been so reassuring and accomodating throughout! I could not of picked a better childminder she is so caring and informative if I have a worry about my son when dropping him off in the morning she sends me updates through out the day so i know he's OK. She really has made the choice to go back to work so much easier knowing he is safe and having fun at her home away from home style of childminding. She takes him on outings to the duck pond and to baby rhyme time and does so many activities with him at her home also... I would definitely recommend Kerries childminding I am so happy I've found such a good childminder that my son smiles at when she opens the door.
Mahima has been part of our family on and off over the past three years. During this time, she has cared for our children from the ages of 2 and 4, while also helping us around the house on a daily basis.
We found Mahima through Childcare, and we have never looked back. She is one of those rare people who genuinely makes family life easier. She arrives ahead of time for every school and nursery pick-up, knows the children's schedules better than we do, and brings her electric smile, warmth and positivity to every single day.
Her standout qualities, beyond her incredible reliability, are her attentiveness and the care she takes over the children's safety and wellbeing. We never have to worry when the children are with Mahima. We know they are in safe, loving and capable hands.
She is wonderful with the children, incredibly helpful around the house and always willing to go the extra mile. Most importantly, the children absolutely adore her, and she has become a very special part of our family.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Mahima and are sad to see her go as she is moving houses. We would be happy to provide a phone reference if the next lucky family is considering adding her to their lives.

My child is currently with Hollie. She’s quite shy around people however ever since her first day she’s ran out to her with open arms. She absolutely loves Hollie. She’s everything you’d want in a childminder. I never have any worries or concerns and know that my child will have the best time with her and always be safe.
Erika has been a wonderful nanny to my 8 year old twins over the past year. Both of which have autism and ADHD. She is kind, patient, and also clear with boundary setting. Her responsibilities include picking them up from school, doing activities which can be going for a walk or to the playground or arts and crafts, making dinner and bath time. Erika often brings along her little one, which is a great balance and they all have a lovely time together playing. I do a weekly menu, which Erika helps with and adds flair and fun as a talented cook. She is also a creative person, with face painting and drawing talents she shares with children. As a nanny Erika is extremely reliable and flexible. She is also a trained Slovak primary school teacher, and brings all those skills and experience to the role. She’s been a wonderful influence on the children and we hope she will stay in our lives for ad hoc support when needed.

We first needed Lorraine in 2021 when our son was 6 months old. We couldn’t have been happier for our children to be under her care. Our eldest is now in school but our second one is still going to Lorraine’s during the day. She is thoughtful, responsive and a wealth of knowledge and advice. Both of our children adore her and we do too.
We prefer a home setting for our young ones up until preschool. Lorraine’s home is safe, accessible and has everything your child needs. She provides healthy snacks and meals and interactive learning. Our son loves going to playgroup most days and it’s incredible the clever connections and skills he has picked up in his time with Lorraine and the other children. I cannot recommend her enough.
Louise is everything you could want in a childminder, she is truly brilliant at her job. Nurturing, professional and always reliable, she has inspired me with her confidence which has helped me navigate my time as a first time parent. While in Louise's care, my child has blossomed, she has a clear gift in understanding children and their needs, I'm so grateful to her and what she has given our family.

Regina has come into our home and brought with her an energy we all love. She currently cares for two of my children, one of which has Autism.
Regina is Caring, makes sure the children have all they need, completes the school pick up at times, prepares food, bath time, even putting them to bed when needed. She really takes care of everything.
The kids have taken to Regina very well. She has become part of our family. I would highly recommend Regina if you are looking for someone who childcare is a passion not just a paycheck.
We could not have hoped for a better childminder than Kaelee (whom we came across by coincidence as her space is on our street). Our daughter would go to her setting first for 15 and then 20 hours a week. It was the first time our then 10-month-old daughter spent significant time with someone she didn’t previously know and within just two days it was very obvious that she had formed a strong bond with Kaelee and feels completely at ease. Kaelee takes great care to truly get to know a child and their needs — as well as to report back to the parents. Every week brings new activities, trips and learning experiences, again closely tailored to the child’s interests and to what is going on in the wider world. It has been a true delight to see what our daughter has been up to. Kaelee has also been very flexible in working around our schedule. We can only recommend her thoughtful and dedicated care: we feel that the three months with Kaelee have ideally prepared our little girl for starting full-time nursery. Thanks a lot!
Nicole came to stay with us for a couple of weeks when our son was just a few days old. He was an incredibly unsettled baby, and we were absolutely exhausted. Nicole was wonderful from the moment she arrived. She was calm, kind and clearly very experienced, and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our newborn in her care. She helped us with feeding, settling and swaddling, and offered lots of practical advice and reassurance without ever making us feel overwhelmed or judged. Having her there made those difficult early days so much more manageable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other parents.
