Susu has been looking after our little boy, since he was around seven months old, and we’re so happy to have had her with us. Almer warmed to her almost immediately. She’s kind, warm, funny and has such a lovely way with babies. She quickly got used to his routines, from feeding and naps to his very particular way of falling asleep, which requires plenty of patience and cuddles!
She’s responsible, caring and someone I’ve always felt comfortable leaving Almer with when I was at work. Over the past six months, she’s become part of our family, and we’d love for her to remain part of our life as Almer grows.
I’d happily recommend Susu to any family looking for a warm and loving nanny!

I reached out to Arlinda when I urgently needed childcare for my toddler, and she was more than happy to accommodate us. She kindly offered us the opportunity to visit and view her setting beforehand, which was absolutely wonderful — clean, welcoming and full of engaging resources for the children.
My daughter attended today, and Arlinda kept me updated throughout with lovely photos. She had a fantastic time, from practising phonics to going out for a walk, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for more.
From Arlinda’s excellent communication and the healthy snacks provided to her warm, attentive interaction with both my daughter and me, the whole experience was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely use Arlinda’s setting again. Highly recommend!
MsAbby has been a blessing for me and my daughter. After needing to change childcare providers within a short period of time, I found MsAbby and she has been nothing but helpful, kind and considerate towards us and our situation. My daughter has been thriving, learning new words, taking more risks and growing in confidence whilst in MsAbbys care. I’m happy to know she is in an environment that makes her feel safe and happy and gives me everlasting confidence that she is in the right hands. I couldn’t be more thankful for MsAbby and how much she has helped us both and to see how much my daughter is learning each day. She loves going to MsAbby each day she attends. I would recommend MsAbby 100%.

Arlinda is a warm and attentative childminder. My 3 year old daughter has only been with Arlinda for a few weeks and has brought out the best in her, taking her to play groups, providing healthy and varied lunches and snacks and provided her with fun and engaging activities, preparing her for reception. Even provided my daughter with a book to practice her writing! You will be very lucky to have Arlinda care for your child.
Diana covered emergency childcare for my children recently when our out of hours school club wasn't running any sessions.
She's a lovely young woman who went above and beyond with my 10 and 8 year old, and dealt with both my rambunctious labradors too. She even taught my eldest a few cookery skills during lunch.
If you are looking for someone to look after your children I couldn't recommend her enough. My children are now saying they want her to cover all inset days in the future!

Absolutely wonderful babysitter – couldn’t recommend more highly!
We couldn’t be more grateful for such a fantastic babysitting experience! Rachel very kindly stepped in at the last minute to look after our eight-year-old daughter and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
She was incredibly friendly, warm, professional and accommodating, immediately putting us at ease. Her lovely manner and natural ability with children made such a positive impression, and it was wonderful knowing our daughter was in such capable and caring hands.
The fact that she was willing to help at such short notice made an already excellent experience even more appreciated. She genuinely went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable and exceptional babysitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
A huge thank you for being so wonderful! ❤️
We feel incredibly so to have found Dipika. She is looking after our 6 month-old daughter two days a week, and has been such a wonderful addition to our lives. She is incredibly kind, warm thoughtful, flexible and professional, and it is clear how much she genuinely cares about the little ones she looks after.
As a first time mother, I am finding Dipika's support invaluable. She is incredibly knowledgeable and offers so many intuitive, helpful tips and advice, always in such a reassuring and thoughtful way. She is a source of confidence and support for me as I navigate motherhood for the first time.
Our daughter absolutely lights up when she sees Dipika, which says everything. She has the most wonderful energy and is so proactive and thoughtful, even researching local baby groups to take her to. She goes above and beyond in so many ways, and somehow also manages to prepare the most beautiful food for us!
We couldn't recommend her more highly and feel genuinely so fortunate to have found her. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
Our son was with Maria from March 2024 to August 2025 and we couldn't be more pleased with how happy and well looked after our son has been with her and her family.
From the beginning, Maria made us feel reassured by her professional, and caring approach. She is really reliable -can’t remember a single day we had to find alternative childcare because she was unwell!! We also appreciated the flexibility with pick ups and drop offs!
We really liked the fact that she takes the children out for different activities almost every single day (farms, museums, children centres, playgrounds, parks, etc) and she sends great pictures of their little adventures! They also do different activities in the house- in the main room as well as the front or back gardens.
Our son was genuinely happy to go to her house everyday and we could tell that her and her family also enjoyed spending time with him and seeing him grow.
Maria provided daily updates and photos and she was key in facilitating his toilet training!
We have felt really lucky to have found her and really recommend her!
Vanessa has been a wonderful childminder for our little girl. She offers an incredibly reliable service and a safe, caring environment with plenty of fun outings for the kids. Her communication is excellent. She answers any inquiries we have very promptly and offers regular updates on meals and nap times as well as photos of notable activities. Our little one is always very happy and excited to go to her which is saying something. I couldn't recommend her enough.
I was very nervous to put my son into nursery as a first time mum. However Tinzar is a very good childminder. Her setting is very beautiful and clean. She really cares about all of the kids and it feels like home away from home. I have been able to meet work and other commitments due to Tinzar’s help. She has an assistant who is also great and my son loves her too. My son comes home happy everyday.
Amber looked after my eldest for 2.5 years and is now currently looking after my youngest daughter. She is brilliant. Really kind and caring and she always sends lots of photos of my daughter smiling and having a great time. We love how she gets the children out and about, come rain or shine and the daily updates are lovely.
Both my girls have thrived there and we feel very lucky to have found such an excellent childminder.
When we reluctantly started looking for childcare for our daughter 2 years ago we couldn't decide between nursery/childminders and from the second we walked in we knew instantly that's where we wanted our daughter to go. They have all been amazing- From supporting us with improving our daughter's delayed speech (doesn't stop talking now 🤣), persevering with food difficulties, to days out to farms, light sensory sessions etc.
Our 20 month old son has been there for almost a year now too and both our children absolutely love going.
Honestly wouldn't choose anyone else to look after our children. Best decision we made.

We cannot recommend Busybee Childcare enough! From day one, Alice has made our child feel so safe, welcomed, and loved. The environment is warm and stimulating, with a wonderful balance of structured learning and fun outdoor play. We’ve seen growth in our child’s toileting, speech, and social skills and Alice cooks lovely food which our child loves. Knowing they are in such caring hands every day gives us complete peace of mind. Alice is fantastic at keeping us up to date through messages and pictures of the wonderful things they do and each day. Thank you Alice
Our son only started at Vikki's Little Vikings in September at 13 months old and settled in very quickly; he will now toddle in very happily and will even close the door on me with barely a look over his shoulder!
Vikki, Claire, Gemma and Jen always open the door with huge enthusiasm and are very welcoming. They very clearly love their work and are dedicated to it.
I love the little crafts/artwork that he comes home with and the daily record detailing how he's been, what he's done/played with, what he's eaten and how much, how much he's slept and when, his nappies etc. This helps us plan our meals at home and how long to allow him to nap once we get home etc.
The daily activities are varied and enriching, but I love that there is a routine. He likes What's in the bag and joining in with the nursery rhymes. I am also led to believe that he's quite taken by Rocco the tortoise!
The food prepared is homemade, healthy and varied which our son enjoys very much by all accounts! He prefers Vikki's cottage pie to mine it would seem!
In terms of practicalities, the setting is very local to us (I've heard numerous children laughing and having fun in the garden whilst pegging out my washing over the last 10 years 😉).
I also love the flexibility with hours, which is not afforded by nurseries. Since our eldest started school, I dropped my working hours to 9am-3pm. The nursery our eldest attended would have charged a flat daily rate regardless, which would be costly and unnecessary. With Vikki, he is there 9am - 3pm and that's it, no additional charges accrued.
Vikki's holiday/off weeks fall within school holidays, which is when we're off with our eldest. That's another win, as a nursery charges for his place whether we'd be on holiday or not.
Most importantly, our son is very happy. I cannot wait to see how he develops and to hear from him directly what a great day he's had at Vikki's!
My child has been at Sallys for 3 years now and it has become her 2nd home, she loves going and I have always felt comfortable knowing she’s being looked after incredibly well, and having a mix of ages to play with has been great! Sally is kind, caring, thoughtful, loving and stable.
My child has been very happy at Sallys over the years and I can’t highly recommend her enough!
We couldn’t recommend Tamara more highly as a childminder. She has been absolutely wonderful with both of our girls, providing such a warm, caring and nurturing environment.
Tamara is fantastic with the kids, and it’s been such a comfort knowing they are in such capable hands. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are entertained and well looked after. Tamara takes the kids on brilliant days out. They have an absolute ball!!
Now that our kids are no longer at Tamara's, we really miss getting daily photo updates of their adventures (as do my parents who also loved getting their daily pics of the grandchildren). We hope to stay in touch with Tamara over the school holidays still as my girls regularly talk about Tamara and we still sing all the nursery rhymes Tamara has thought them (we're going on a bear hunt, is a favourite of Polly's).
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tamara and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind and reliable childminder.
We couldn’t recommend Ewa highly enough! She has looked after our little boy since he was just 1 year old, and we are so grateful for all the love, care and support she has given him over the years. She has always made him feel safe, happy and loved, and it has been such a comfort knowing he is in such caring and trustworthy hands. She has played a special part in his life, and we truly appreciate everything she has done for him. We would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, reliable and loving childminder. Thank you for everything! ❤️
