Anna began caring for our son when he was 7 months old. It was an absolute joy to have her helping in our home for nearly half a year. From the very first week, they formed a wonderful bond, and our son was always happy during playtime and walks with Anna. She was incredibly patient during feeding times and always took her time rocking him gently to sleep, which made our evenings so much calmer. Anna was also wonderfully flexible when we needed to slightly adjust her hours at short notice. We felt so lucky to have had her caring for our little boy and highly recommend her to any family.

Marzieh is a polite, reliable and pleasant professional. Even when she’s struggled, she made sure she kept to her commitments which I really appreciate. She has come a few times and done a stellar job. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a competent and reliable help around the house.
We’ve had a really positive experience with Nicole. My child attended from the ages of 1-3 years old, From the start, Nicole created a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where our child felt comfortable and settled quickly.
Nicole is incredibly attentive and caring, always taking the time to understand our child’s needs, interests, and routine. We’ve especially appreciated the variety of activities provided, which support both learning and play — from creative crafts to outdoor time and social interaction with other children.
Communication has been excellent throughout. We receive regular updates, and it’s clear our child is happy and well looked after. It’s reassuring to know they are in such capable and nurturing hands.
We’ve seen great progress in our child’s confidence and development since starting with Nicole, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole to other families.
We have been absolutely delighted with Habibe who has been caring for our 5 month old son. She has been a very reliable nanny. She is always punctual, prepared, and consistent. As new parents, knowing that she will show up exactly when she says she will and handle everything calmly and capably has given us enormous peace of mind. Our son is comfortable and happy in her care, which speaks volumes. We would recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and highly professional nanny.
Lauren looks after my twin girls impeccably.
As a working mum she has made my life so much easier and taken the stress out of childcare.
She is on time, polite, and respectful of our house but more importantly the girls love her. She is calm, engaging and lots of fun. The girls always look forward to their days with her and they have learnt so much since she started in November 2025. I trust her to keep them safe and happy and teach them all the necessary skills they need.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder. From the very start Sam made my then 4 month old and 3 year old feel like they were her own. Both of them settled well with Sam.
They are so comfortable with her and happy to wake up and go to Sam, excited to see what the day holds for them with Sam's fun learning activities she plans for the kids. We've seen how our children's confidence has grown and so heart warming to see it.
The regular updates and communication from Sam is just the cherry on top helping us feel connected to their daily activities and routines.
We are so fortunate to have found Sam and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other parents looking for a childminder to look after their little loved ones. She takes care of them as her own.

I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. From our very first meeting, I felt completely confident that she was the right person to care for my child. She arrived thoroughly prepared, with all relevant certifications, background checks, and documentation that clearly demonstrated her extensive experience in childcare.
Lisa is caring, knowledgeable, and highly professional. She respects your parenting approach and follows your lead, while also offering thoughtful guidance when needed—something I found invaluable as a new mother. Without family nearby, having Lisa’s support truly felt like gaining an extension of my own family.
She quickly built a wonderful bond with my son, Ollie, who absolutely loved spending time with her. Lisa not only supported his development but also provided me with reassurance and encouragement, particularly during those important early stages.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to any parent seeking reliable, compassionate, and experienced support. And as an added bonus—she makes an excellent fish pie!
We’re really happy with our daughter’s experience with Michele. She started in September 2024 when she was just over eight months old, and the whole settling-in process felt really smooth and reassuring. Michele was great about easing her in gradually, which helped her get comfortable within about a week.
Now she’s genuinely happy going there, and it really shows when we pick her up - she’s usually all smiles, which says a lot about how comfortable she feels.
Michele plans loads of fun and engaging activities like painting, singing, and dancing, and there are plenty of toys to support learning and development. We also love that she takes the kids out regularly to playgroups, parks, and soft play - those outings have been great for socialising and staying active.
We’ve definitely noticed a lot of progress too, especially with how quickly she’s picking up new words.
The daily updates are another big plus. Michele sends photos and WhatsApp messages keeping us in the loop about naps, meals, and what they’ve been up to, which we really appreciate.
Overall, we’re really pleased with the care Michele provides. It’s reassuring knowing our daughter is happy, safe, and doing so well in her care.
My 2.5‑year‑old daughter has been with Linda for six months now, and I am very happy with the care she provides. Linda creates a warm, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere where children feel safe and confident. She takes the time to take the children to playgroups and library story time, which helps them develop social skills and enjoy learning with others.
She supports children’s development in numeracy and literacy and encourages physical development through active play. Linda also provides a variety of creative activities such as crafts and art, helping children develop their creativity and fine motor skills. I am very pleased with the care, attention, and learning opportunities she provides.
My son was previously in a private nursery, within 2 months I realised it wasn’t the right environment for him. After speaking with Nicci about his experience, he started with her the following month and it was the best decision I could have made.
He has been with Nicci since he was 18 months old and the difference in him has been incredible (he is now 3). I’ve seen such positive changes in his development and most importantly in his happiness. The warm, family-style setting has made a huge impact, it’s so reassuring to see how excited he is to go each day. Seeing his smile and how reluctant he is to leave when I pick him up after work says everything.
Nicci clearly cares deeply for all the children she looks after and that really shines through- I highly recommend Nicci’s services.
Sahar has been with our family since our son was 8 months old (he’s now 15 months), and she has been amazing from the start. She’s very attentive to his needs, as well as warm, friendly and genuinely caring. He’s always happy and comfortable with her, which gives us real peace of mind.
She’s also very reliable and flexible with timings, which has been a huge help for us. On a few occasions she’s looked after our older daughter too, and she’s just as lovely with her and they both really enjoy spending time with her.
Sahar honestly feels like part of our family now, and we feel very lucky to have her. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone kind, trustworthy and dependable.

Fizz is absolutely amazing. She’s great with my son and he is soo happy with her. I didn’t get to meet Fizz beforehand due to starting a new job, so I was really nervous on the first day she stayed with my son but I was sooo relieved at the end of the day. I could literally see how happy my son was and he had such a good day. There’s been soo many changes in his behaviour, he cleans up now!!! Which is a shocker. She keeps me updated with lots of pictures. He’s always happy and smiling when I get home, with lots to talk about. We’ve had one overnight stay so far and it went really well. I’m honestly overall just really happy to have Fizz around and just grateful to have found someone who my son feels safe and comfortable around. My son has speech delay so it’s really important to me that he has someone who is patient and understanding. Fizz is just that. Highly recommend.
My little girl goes to Ros's setting and we are extremely happy and grateful we found Ros. She is very flexible and accommodating, we wanted our lo to do part-time at the beginning to slowly settle her down and Ros has been there to support every step of the way. She is loving, caring and very funny active person who absolutely loves children and takes great care of them. I cannot recommend her enough, my girl is always happy in the morning and ready to go to Ros's! She is amazing 🤩
Sadly Natalie stopped replying to my messages and didn’t show up to our meeting, after rescheduling the first time we arranged to meet. Very disappointing and a shame, not helpful when trying to find someone to entrust your child with. I would have appreciated a message to let me know rather than just not showing up.

I first contacted you on March 31st, and your reply came only on April 27th. I responded the following morning and reached out again on April 30th, but I have not received any further reply.
I also noticed that you viewed my profile several times, which makes the lack of response even more confusing.
In my opinion, this level of communication is unprofessional, especially in the childcare field where trust and reliability are essential. I was initially interested in having my child in your care, but due to this experience, I no longer feel confident moving forward.
I wish you all the best.

Gemma has been an incredible childminder for our son, Otto. From the very beginning, she created a warm, home environment where he has felt completely safe and settled. She is caring, professional, and endlessly supportive, always going above and beyond for the children in her care. Otto has learned so much during his time with her and genuinely loves every day he spends there. Gemma is fantastic at reinforcing the behaviours and values we want for him, providing consistency and encouragement. She also takes him to wonderful playgrounds, playgroups, and a variety of engaging, age-appropriate activities. If we could keep Otto with her until university, we absolutely would—she and her family truly feel like part of ours.

Yash watched over my son of 7 months. He was immediately comfortable to be taken care of by her. She cared, played and engaged with him for the whole session. She made us feel relieved that he was in good care. Would definitely be getting back in touch with her for more nannying.
