James is a great tutor and has been a massive help to my son. His engaging teaching style and easy-to-talk-to nature made my son feel comfortable immediately. In a very short space of time, his confidence and maths skills have improved immensely. I highly recommend James, especially for any parents looking for SATs preparation!
very convenient and reliable in a clean environment, accurate and excellent
trust me it will be too good to be true and they say seeing is believing !
GO GIVE IT A TRY AND COME THANK ME LATER 🤩
Seda started working for our family in mid February 2026 to support us with nights with our newborn. We hired her to provide support while I navigated breastfeeding nights with my first baby, her support was invaluable in this. She is a lovely kind person and I really felt she cared about our son; she took great care of him so I could get much needed sleep between feedings, handling all changing and settling of the baby. We had originally planned on a few nights a week for three weeks, then to taper down, but Seda was such a wonderful support we extended her as long as she was available.
Seda supported me in learning how to be more confident bathing our son, helped me with positioning for easier feeding and reassured me as the various sleep regressions happened. Throughout she was really warm and lovely to spend time with when up during the early morning hours. She is really knowledgeable and helpful and a very kind person. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for support after having a baby. I wish we could have her around longer she would be a great help to any new mums.
Mrs Florence is consistent in regards to her care. She is highly attentive and takes good care of all children. The environment is also friendly and clean.
I can’t thank Karen enough. She is a genuinely warm and caring childminder with a natural ability to connect with children. When my son first started with her, he wasn’t potty trained, spoke very little, and was extremely picky with food. Since then, he has become fully potty trained and, while still a bit selective, Karen has successfully introduced him to a wider variety of foods. He also talks a lot more!
She is always flexible, accommodating, and consistently goes above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Janine’s setting is truly unique. My son started at 2.5 years old and it offers so much more than a traditional nursery or childminding environment, making it perfect for children who are ready to explore, learn, and grow in a more enriching way. Set in the beautiful forest setting, there are endless opportunities for children to develop a genuine love of nature and spend time outdoors with lots of freedom and chances to discover new things each day.
She encourages independence in every child regardless of their age, and thoughtfully creates new activities each week that inspire learning in fun and inventive ways. The crafts and ideas she introduces are always so creative and far beyond what I would think to do at home.
We love how you can feel Janine’s passion in everything she does, it really shows in the care and attention she gives the children to create exciting and adventurous days. My son is excited to go every day, and it’s so reassuring to see how much he trusts and loves her.
Janine has also created a warm and exciting culture regularly hosting seasonal gatherings that bring parents and children together.
My son has made some wonderful friends and if we weren’t moving away, I would have kept him with Janine until he starts school.
Her setting goes far beyond what you might expect from a typical childcare provider, it’s an environment where children can truly thrive and we will be gutted to leave her soon.

I have used this childminder for the past six years, and she has been absolutely outstanding. She provides a safe, caring, and nurturing environment, and her compassion and dedication truly set her apart. My daughter has thrived in her care, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Outstanding service in all standards 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Sharon was fantastic with my sisters children, I found her on here and used her services for my sisters children, one with special needs and she did a wonderful with safeguarding and babysitting both children at my residence. The kids became fond of her and I will definitely be using her services again, she is warm, caring and vigilant. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trusted person with their children. Thanks Sharon much appreciated.
If you are looking for the highest quality in childminding services, please look no further than Saskia! Saskia has cared for my daughter from when she was just 1 year to nearly 2 years. I can honestly say in that year period she never EVER once let us down. She is consistent, passionate, attentive, creative, intuitive and meticulous in her care for children. Even when I was diagnosed with a cancer relapse and THEN broke my ankle she was as reliable and flexible as ever and went out of her way to make things easier for me and our family. As a Mum, trusting someone outside of your own family with the care of your baby is tough, but Saskia made this so easy from the outset. Saskia is always taking the kids in her care out and about to play groups, messy play, to the park and always making their day so much fun (I'm sure far more fun than our baby would have had at our own home!). By the end of our journey with her we felt as though she was family! Her communication is fantastic, she sends daily updates on how your child is doing, and always picks up on anything that is going on for them (before you have even told her). Our daughter always came home a very happy and content little baby. I cannot recommend Saskia more highly.

Donna, and the other ladies working alongside Donna, are absolutely wonderful childminders. Our little boy always came home saying "Donna's house is fun"!! He was well looked after, did a range of activities and crafts and ate well. I got lovely updates from Donna, and felt she listened to any of my suggestions and preferences. Thank you Donna, you are so patient and a credit to the childcare community, thank you!

My baby has settled wonderfully at Sarah’s, I was so worried about leaving my baby and going back to work but Sarah made it so easy for me and my baby loves her and the other children in her care already. It is truely like a second home which is all I could have asked for. I was welcomed and reassured from the moment we met and she is a really kind lady who knows the children in her care inside out.
I will recommend her all day long and I am so happy with my decision.
I’m not usually one to post things like this, but I wouldn’t want any other parent to feel the way I have.
I’ve previously used a reliable childminder for over a year, but due to a change in circumstances I needed to find an alternative. I thought I was lucky to find one locally in Ferndale, especially as options are so limited.
My child attended for two sessions in February half term and twice again last week. Across all four sessions, I received only positive updates, aside from a minor fall. I was then asked for a chat before the following week, however before any discussion could take place, I received an email ending childcare with immediate effect.
No concerns or incidents had been raised with me directly at the time, which meant I was given no opportunity to support my child or work collaboratively to address anything. This has left me without childcare at short notice, and my child confused and upset.
had been open and honest from the start about my child’s needs, including some anxiety around certain tasks, so it’s disappointing that this level of communication was not reciprocated. I also requested clarification following the decision and did not receive a response.
I feel the reasons given were disproportionate to what I had been told during his time there, and I was not given the chance to understand or respond before the decision was made.
Please just be mindful to ask clear questions about communication, expectations, and settling-in periods when choosing childcare. Open and honest communication is so important.
Amber has looked after my son since he was a young baby and he is now about to start school. She is flexible and kind, she is child led and follows my son’s interests and is open to any sort of imaginary play. There have been a few days when I’ve forgotten to pack my son a lunch and she gives him a healthy meal - which is so kind and just shows what a wonderful person she is. She also used to be a baby photographer so the photos she sends every day are so beautiful! I could frame them all. I wholeheartedly recommend Amber and her wonderful care. She truly loves children and this shines through in all her interactions with them - when we see her in public my son is so excited and she always looks so pleased to see him. If you are lucky enough to have a place with Amber - you won’t regret it.
I had a very good experience with this childcare provider tarin choudhury.she is kind, professional and very attentive to the children’s needs. The environment felt safe and welcoming , and communication was always clear. I would happily recommend them to other parents.
Started with us and told us she would be back on Friday. Gave a big long spiel about how she couldn’t understand how other people aren’t reliable then left us high and dry. Got all defensive when asked why and then even started a ‘non payment case’ on childcare on Thursday when she knows our payments are made on Fridays. I would be very wary about what this person says and actually does, I can imagine things could turn very sour very quickly and you might not see it coming.

Eve looked after my 9 year son who is autistic and she was fantastic. He took to her straight away through her efforts to engage with him. She is very caring, highly conscientious and is clearly very experienced. I would highly recommend her and we look forward to having her back.
I’ve had such a positive experience with Tuba. From the very beginning, she has created a clean, calm and engaging environment that feels perfect for young children.
As a parent, she has made me feel really reassured and supported. Communication has been great—she regularly sends updates, pictures and messages, which gives me real peace of mind throughout the day.
My child is always happy to be with Tuba which says everything. Since starting, I’ve noticed such lovely progress in my child especially social interactions.
She is incredibly welcoming, and is really attentive to each child’s needs, and most importantly, she follows through.
I would absolutely recommend Tuba to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and nurturing childminder.
My daughter has been at Neelofers setting for nearly two years now. Neelofer is a wonderful, caring, flexible and nurturing childminder and just such a kind person. My daughter absolutely loves going there everyday and sometimes I can’t get her to leave when I pick her up!! She has formed lots of friendships there and has become a very confident child, everyday she comes out with something new that she has learnt and is now more than ready to go to school.
Neelofer is an amazing cook and her food is wonderful and my daughter always tells me about what she has eaten that day (she always says Neelofer is the best cooker!)
She spends a lot of time with each child and I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and wonderful childminder. I know that when my child leaves this year to go to school she will certainly miss her a lot as will I.
She also keeps us updated on Elsie’s progress and everything she has done each week and just really gets to know each child and their preferences.
Thank you for everything you do Neelofer!

We sent our son to Evely from 6 months old and couldn't be happier. We were nervous about starting childcare so early, but Evely’s kindness and patience gave us total confidence. He has thrived and learned so much from her and her lovely family. She is professional, warm, and truly caring. We are so sad to leave and highly recommend her to any parent!
