Shannon has been the nanny to my 14 month old since I went back to work in September and she's been absolutely wonderful.
Shannon is always incredibly engaged with my son, as soon as she seems him she gets on the floor to his level. He absolutely loves playing games with her. She always makes sure he gets outside time as much as is physically possible with the weather and I'm so excited to see what lovely activities they get up to in the summer!
Shannon has the perfect level of communication also, always letting me know what they're up to and when they're popping out, but not constant updates to let me focus on work.
I can tell she really cares about my son and I feel so comfortable being back at work knowing he's having a wonderful time doing wonderful things with someone so caring and competent.
Shannon has also been extremely helpful and gone above and beyond in helping me trying to improve my son's night time sleep - which has been a big success!

My son has been taken care of over night by Miss Abi for just over a year, I have a peace of mind whilst at nightshift knowing that my son is safe and in the morning he will be ready for school. The service is very professional and excellent . My son loves it there,he often also enjoys play days during school holidays to.
For a mum who has just gone back into full time work/studies and is a professional. Mercy was very lovely welcoming and always on time and available around my working hours as flexibility is important for my career. My children loved her and nothing was too much trouble and she was supportive. Which put me at ease and any questions were answered excellent and overall experience wonderful. Thank you for helping me Mercy. I will definitely use her services again. As familiarity is important for any child who is cared for by a childminder and I really can't recommend her enough. All the best Mercy.
Honestly, can't believe how lucky we got finding Shona. She is the most peasant, upbeat, and most importantly caring babysitter we've had the pleasure to hire.
A big thing about Shona, is she is genuine, she cares and puts our son AJ first at everything she does with us. She's always ensuring AJ is having fun, fed, changed and always engages us for questions and feedback.
AJ's eyes light up when he see's her and is always giggling, running about and playing with Shona, we feel he's in good, safe hands with her.
Shona is also very friendly and engaging with us the parents too, personally I feel she is part of the family now.
If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Shona is 1 in a million!
Zohra has looked after our 18 months son over the last months and I couldn’t be happier to have found her! You can tell how much Zohra cares about the children and really treats them like family. He is always in such a great mood when I pick him up and I can tell he’s been having the best time.
Zohra is also great at communicating. It was my first time leaving my son and I felt so safe leaving him in her care. She was very reinsuring and honest. I really trust her and I did not worry.
I initially got Zohra’s details through a friend whose kids had been going to Zohra’s for years and I can see why. I felt her warmth from our first contact on the phone and really recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.
We have been lucky enough to have Rachael look after our 3 year old daughter for around two years now. Georgia is so happy to visit her every week and we never cease to be amazed by the variety of activities, trips and learning experiences Rachael provides for her. Nothing is ever too much trouble and Georgia truly sees it as a home from home. Her development, confidence and social skills have really icnreased and we know Rachael has had a key role in this. She truly cares for and loves all the children she looks after and treats them as individuals, it never feels like a business, just a friend looking after your child as if they were their own. Rachael always takes time to introduce Georgia to new things and cultures and we truly appreciate the great start she is providing our daughter to be a happy, well rounded person.
I could not recommend Theresa enough. I have noticed positive changes in my son since he has been with Theresa. I know that he is in safe hands and enjoys his time with her. Theresa will send updates throughout the day, showing the activities they have been up to. There are plenty of toys for the children to play with and activities that Theresa does with them throughout the day. I would 100% recommend, Theresa is a lovely lady who loves what she does and this shows by the environment for the children.
Sharon is a great childminder. She has looked after my little girl since she was 7 months old. She is calm, patient and understanding. Her home is absolutely immaculate, and has a wide variety of toys and activities for children of all ages. My little girl often brings home pictures , paintings and crafts made with Sharon, they are absolutely wonderful and lovely keepsakes. Both myself and my partner work full time and we feel totally at ease knowing our daughter is safe and well taken care of while we are at work. Sharon prepares a wide range of different home cooked and nutritious meals &snacks for the children, these always go down a treat with my daughter. We recently moved areas and we still continue to use Sharon’s childcare services even though it is quite a drive from our new house & work locations due to how settled our daughter is. I would definitely recommend Sharon’s childcare services to other parents who are seeking a local childminder
Ruby worked with my son for a year doing after school pick ups. She was an excellent nanny to him. Kind, patient, and fun. Ruby is very reliable and professional. She flagged to me things which were important eg with his behaviour. Oscar had a lot of fun with Ruby and always enjoyed the surprise of what might be in her craft bag that she used to bring along !
We miss Ruby a lot. But hope that London is all you hoped for and more x
Janice is absolutely amazing at what she does. I had contacted her for babysitting for my 1 year old daughter and in the first meet itself she made us feel so comfortable that I could trust her with my baby. She has a very calm presence and she takes care of all her needs very well. I highly recommend her for your babysitting needs.

Our daughter has just come to the end of almost 9 months with Yasmin and we highly recommend her warm, safe and homely environment for any family seeking a childminder for their baby.
Our daughter joined at 14 months old, and as a BF baby with no experience of childcare, it was a challenging change for us all but Yasmin's supportive approach to a long settling in period for us was brilliant. We also had challenges with our daughter napping but Yasmin worked with us to follow a plan to ensure consistency at home and at hers, meaning Freya eventually started doing 2 hour naps - unheard of at home! Our daughter now loves going every morning, it's going to be a bitter sweet end to this year.
She has developed so much in terms of independence, play, movement and speech, she isn't the same baby as when she started, all supported by Peek & Plays hands-on approach.
Yasmin's childcare assistant, Naureen also provides wonderful supportive care for all the children at the setting and Freya speaks about her often when she is at home.
The setting is clean and has a big variety of activities for children of different ages (baby to toddler) to enjoy, as well as a very child friendly garden space for getting outside.

Our little boy attended The Little Pixies from the age of one until almost three, and he absolutely loved his time there. There was never a day when he didn’t want to go in, and he was always happy and settled when we collected him. We’ve never had such a positive experience with a nursery and only wish we’d known about Debbie and The Little Pixies when our daughter was younger, as her experience elsewhere was very different. We would wholeheartedly recommend The Little Pixies to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing setting.
Karen
Our daughter has been attending for 5 years now, starting around 1 year old through until school, and now in school holidays. Little Rocks has been a home from home for Isabella, but with the professional care, structure, learning and development activities that are so important. We didn't want a large nursery, we wanted a smaller more attentive setting, where our daughter could form real bonds and be happy and comfortable. She always came home happy, usually having enjoyed a trip or a visit, followed by different activities. Everything was always tailored for her age. Most of all we never had a single worry, or concern, leaving our daughter in Helens care. Highly recommended.
I have used Ruth now for well over a decade and can whole-heartedly recommend her as a childminder. Her setting is safe, friendly, fun, educational and comfortable. Ruth herself is brilliant with the children and always treats them as unique individuals. She is compassionate and always strives to be top of her game through offering best practice policies and keeping ahead of any changing childcare guidelines. Her term time (for little ones) and holiday agendas (for all) are varied and exciting for the children and my kids always begged me to go there as often as they could! She always has a great mix of indoor and outdoor activities planned and there is always an important learning aspect to each event - often with appropriate arts and crafts follow-up afterwards. Everything is always so well thought through. In my son’s words: ‘she is funny, kind, playful, always happy and always has brilliant ideas for activities and I really love her’. I think that really says it all! Fully recommend her. Best childminder ever! Xx
Natalie is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to place my daughter with a childminder having never done this with my first daughter, but Natalie put me in such ease and was always transparent. She eased Ayla in from 10 months old and has had her until now, age 3.5! Ayla loves going to Nat Nats house and oh my gosh, she has come such a long way. Natalie helped me with so many mile stones i.e. taking Ayla off the dummy, potty training, food and just helping Ayla become more independent. Ayla enjoyed going on her daily trips and Natalie would always send me pictures of their activities! Im so grateful because now I have such amazing pictures of Ayla to share with her when she's old enough! Natalie has created a warm, nurturing and adventurous environment for all the children and they become such good friends with eachother. I couldn't recommend Natalie enough, we will truly miss her as a family. If ever I have another one, I'll be right back at Nat Nats lol.
Thank you so much Natalie, its been an absolute pleasure. Please keep in touch. Sadia xx
