I arranged childcare with Nancy and she confirmed she was available, but she did not turn up on the day and gave no communication at all.
I called several times and sent messages but received no response. I was completely relying on her, so this left me stranded and unable to go to work.
For a childcare provider, reliability and communication are essential. Unfortunately, this experience showed a complete lack of both. I cannot comment on her ability with children as she did not attend, but I would not recommend booking based on this experience.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Naomi! She is so warm and welcoming, and has a lovely relationship with the children. Naomi is also very supportive and goes the extra mile, helping us with pickups at times, accommodating us with switching my daughter's days occassionally, and taking the kids on play dates, softplay, Chessington Zoo, or out and about in the town. My daughter has thrived under her care and we couldn't be happier with Naomi's level of care and attention. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for anyone else looking for an experienced, caring, warm and supportive childminder.
i have known Toju since 2014, i was a university student and mother of a 4 years old son. I struggled to find a childminder near me for could of month . then i met Toju. What a wonderful warm and loving lady, she helped and supported me and my family through though times. She is like a mom to my first and second child. My kids loves her and her lovely family.
We feel so lucky to have found Marisa. She’s been such a big part of our boys’ lives and has created such a warm, caring environment for them both.
She also looked after both our newborn and toddler on our wedding day, which says everything about how much we trust and adore her!
Our boys are always so happy to see her. Especially our eldest who doesn't warm to people very easily but he just loves Marisa.
We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos throughout the day, it gives us so much peace of mind. She always takes the children out on lots of lovely outings and keeps them busy with different activities, which they love and we love to see!
At this point, she feels more like a friend than just a childminder, and we’re really grateful to have her. Thank you Marisa! Xxx
We have been with Hayley since my daughter was 6months and we now have to leave at just under 3.5years.
She was an answered prayer and I couldn’t be more thankful for the service she provided us. I use the word service loosely because, this was more than service, it was kindness, assurance, certainty, safety and technically family.
Thank you isn’t enough. I’d miss Hayley and know my daughter who absolutely loves her would miss her as well as all the friends she’s made here over the years.
Our children love to be at Clare’s and always ask when they’re going round.
Clare has cared for our kids for a few years now and they have both grown to be confident, inquisitive, happy and sociable children and have made many friends over time.
Clare has not only helped them but has also helped us by giving advice at critical times of their development.
Clare is one in a million. We’re so grateful to her and everything she does for us and the kids.
Ros looked after our little boy until he started nursery recently, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better nanny. We were incredibly nervous about leaving our boy with someone new, especially given our son’s needs. He is autistic and non verbal, so finding the right person felt even more important. From the very beginning, Ros completely put our minds at ease. She is warm, patient, caring, and built such a special bond with our son.She always took the time to understand him, engaging him in ways that worked for him with activities etc and making sure he felt safe and happy. She’s a kind and thoughtful nanny and it was clear how much she truly cared about his wellbeing and development.
We feel very lucky to have had her as part of our lives during such an important time. She is a wonderful nanny, and we’re so glad we’ll be able to stay in touch and have her continue to look after him on an ad hoc basis. We can’t recommend Ros highly enough

Very disappointed with my experience. Initial contact seemed promising, but communication quickly dropped. I have sent follow up emails but no one has bothered to reply. I am still waiting a confirmation for a pre-visit. Not sure if you have children of your own, but the whole process of finding a nursery or childminder is important and stressful as we are leaving our little ones with a stranger who we have to trust. Although I can’t comment on your actual ability to child mind, communication is really important, and unfortunately that wasn’t the case here. You lack communication skills. I hope this is something that can be improved for future families.
Part of me doesn’t want to write the review for fear of Linda getting too booked up to be our sitter again, but we would be doing a disservice if we didn’t leave a stellar review for Linda. Linda recently looked after our 10 week old baby, she was incredibly competent, nurturing and intuitive with our baby even when the schedule went awry! Very lucky to have such a natural look after our baby. Many thanks again.
Emma has been an exceptional tutor for my daughter, working with her weekly for more than six months and making a remarkable difference in her confidence and academic progress. She transformed her understanding of maths, helping her become one of the strongest pupils in her year and approach both SATs and 11+ preparation with real assurance. Under Emma’s guidance, my daughter passed all three independent school entrance exams she sat and received offers from each one. She also strengthened her English far beyond creative writing, teaching her advanced grammar, richer vocabulary, varied sentence structures, and how to write with clarity, purpose, and emotional depth. Emma is patient, dedicated, and incredibly effective — a truly outstanding tutor whom we recommend wholeheartedly.
My little girl started with Gloria and Louise as of January 2026 and she is thriving!
The ladies provide a safe, warm and welcoming home from home environment allowing the children to play, learn and explore. Supporting her with her development and meeting milestones.
Connie has built a fantastic relationship with Gloria and Louise. She very settled and comfortable at the setting.
Communication is great in person and via the app.
Pauline has been an absolute blessing to our family over the past year. From the beginning, it was clear that she is not only highly experienced, but truly passionate about what she does. She creates such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children can thrive, and that has given us complete peace of mind every single day.
Our daughter absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. Pauline is incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, always going above and beyond to make each child feel valued and cared for. She brings so much energy and creativity into her care, ensuring our daughter is engaged, learning, and most importantly, happy.
What really sets Pauline apart is her genuine generosity and dedication. She treats our child as if it were her own, and it shows in the strong, trusting relationship she has built. We’ve seen such wonderful development in our daughter during her time with Pauline, both socially and emotionally, and we truly believe that’s largely down to the exceptional care she provides.
We feel so lucky to have found Pauline and couldn’t recommend her more highly to any family looking for a caring, reliable, and truly outstanding childminder.
Sofan is an exceptionally kind, warm, and caring childminder who always greets both children and parents with a genuine smile. It’s clear how much she truly loves working with young children, creating a safe and nurturing environment where they feel happy and supported. What really stands out is her balance of fun and education—she doesn’t just focus on games, but also incorporates meaningful learning activities that help children develop and grow. Her professionalism shines through in everything she does, giving complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Sofan to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy childminder.
jyoti was my kids nanny for 2 yrs. was very reliable and trustworthy. kids loved her and still miss her. she left due to relocation. .she was fabulous with kids- took care of them, bathed them, park trips, cycling, dance moves, playtime. also cooked delicious meals for the family. Organised kids laundry , wardrobe , nursery, playroom etc. also did pre school drop and picks, swim lessons. Was a full time nanny and then eventually did school drop and picks too( wrap around care) once kids started school . she was very friendly, homely and had a smiling face always.
Was a natural with kids and was part of our small family unit. Did phonics and reading with them too and played games endlessly with them
My little girl First went to Evette when she was eight months eight months old. Like most new mums, I was so nervous at the thought of another person caring for my baby, but Evette was so Kind and caring she really helped me through the process. She was generous with her time and so loving towards my daughter. She even let me visit over lunchtime to do breastfeeding when I was working from home! She would rock and sing my daughter to sleep when she found it hard to settle. Now she has looked after my daughter for four years and I couldn’t be happier with my little ones development. Evette was instrumental and teaching her to walk, count, learn her animals, colours and alphabet, get dressed, use the toilet, hold a pencil. People often comment how advanced she is for her age and I really put this down to the great education she gets at Angle T childcare. When she was full time with Evette she took her to playgroups, libraries and museums and lots of playgrounds and outdoor play. If like me, you’re nervous at the thought of putting your child into childcare, and are looking for a childminder who will really give your child full attention and love, I really recommend Evette’s services. She will do everything at a pace that you are comfortable with and understands that if you need some extra cuddles at drop-off she’s fine I’m tolerant of this. Evette’s glowing OFSTED report says it all. I really can’t thank Evette enough for everything she has done for me and my family. I highly recommend her service. Her own son is also a testament to her skills at childcare and commitment to education and learning.

Fatiha is an extremely reliable, dependable and caring nanny who is always highly professional. She is evidently very experienced and always knows how to make my son feel at ease and leave me with a feeling of safety and security at all times. She not only looks after his physical needs but ensures his emotional needs are met and is genuinely one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. I am so lucky to have found Fatiha and will always rely on her for her fantastic services. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone special to take extra good care of their child
