Nera has been an amazing childminder, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She provides a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where my child has always felt happy, supported, and loved.
She is kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about what she does. My child's confidence and development have grown so much during their time with her, and it's been wonderful to see.
Nera is always approachable, keeps us well informed, and goes above and beyond for both the children and their families. Knowing my child is in such capable and caring hands gives us complete peace of mind.
Thank you, Nera, for everything you've done. We are so grateful and would recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic childminder.
Jenny is exceptional. We looked for childcare for a very long time but when we found Jenny, we knew that she would be great. We were on her waiting list and accepted a space as soon as it became available. She was wonderful during the settling period, making it a lovely transition for me and my little one.
Jenny is professional, patient, understanding and creates a warm and caring environment for the children. She provides regular updates, fun activities, and a healthy warm lunch and snacks.
With Jenny, not only do you get a childminder but a very experienced educator and teacher who brings a wealth of experience and wonderful qualities. Our little one thoroughly enjoyed being with Jenny Babies. We highly recommended her!

We had an excellent experience with Simone. She was reliable, professional, warm and fantastic with Poppy and Woody. They felt comfortable with her straight away, and she kept them happy, engaged and well cared for throughout.
She communicated clearly, was flexible when needed and gave us complete peace of mind. We would happily use her again.

Serene was our evening nanny for a year, caring for our newborn girl, 1-year-old girl, and 3-year-old boy, 3-5 days a week. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. She is reliable, conscientious, hardworking and professional. She was always so safety conscious, incredibly attuned to the toddlers' emotions, and brilliant at teaching them and encouraging their independence. My children always looked forward to seeing her, and mealtimes and bedtime routines ran smoothly. She always left the kitchen and play areas clean and tidy at the end of the evening. We were sad to part ways, and only did so because our needs changed to afterschool care — we would have happily continued with her otherwise. I recommend her without hesitation and am happy to provide more details for a further reference if needed.

My son attended Lucie's from around 8 months until going to school, including the pre school years part time with nursery. I couldn't recommend Lucie highly enough. She provided a great level of care, varied and engaging opportunities for my child in a nurturing environment.
Laura has been an incredible childminder, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She has created such a warm, caring and nurturing environment, and my son genuinely loves spending time with her. Every day is filled with fun activities and adventures, and he comes home excited to tell me all about what they’ve been doing. The progress he has made since being in Laura’s care has been amazing. His vocabulary and communication skills have developed so much, he has become much more confident expressing himself, and he seems to learn something new almost every day. She has also encouraged his creativity, and it has been lovely to see skills like drawing develop through her support and patience. Laura provides healthy, enjoyable snacks and clearly puts a lot of thought into helping the children learn and thrive. She is kind, patient, flexible and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. The personalised Christmas gifts she gave the children were such a thoughtful touch and showed how much she cares. We are so grateful to have found Laura. She has played such an important role in our son’s development, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a caring, dedicated and trustworthy childminder.

Mags looks after my daughter often and has created a beautiful relationship with her. My daughter always asks about her and loves being around her, she was able to understand bedtime, bath time and meal time routines so easily and follows them perfectly allowing me to feel so happy and safe to leave her with my daughter. She made sure to tell me everything and kept in contact to let me know how everything was going. She is so easy to talk too and so loving and such a beautiful person I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my daughter. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a babysitter

My daughter has been going to Cheeky Chops for 4 years since she was 6 months old and will be leaving Sheila’s to start school this September. My little one loved every single day at Cheeky Chops. Countless happy memories with lots of creative play time, activities and learning new things.
Sheila doesn’t just take it as a job, she genuinely loves kids and really engages to their feeling and she’s full of creative ideas to play for your child’s development.
I do believe my daughter has become such a healthy, happy and imaginative child thanks to her.
Her house has such lovely and homely environment. Good space for kids to play and it’s full of interesting setups and toys, also a clean and safe garden for kids to play in any season.
Sheila’s daughter Lily is also so good with kids. Lily was also one of the reasons why we chose Sheila because you can tell a lot from her how amazing Sheila is as a mum as well.
It will be so emotional to say good bye to Sheila soon as she’s literally been like my daughter’s second mum. We were so lucky to find Sheila as our childminder and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

We are so grateful for the wonderful care our daughter received with Ellen. She has been incredibly kind, caring, and nurturing, and our daughter truly thrived in her setting. We saw her confidence, social skills, and development grow so much during her time there.
She created a warm, safe, and happy environment, and our daughter always looked forward to going. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would highly recommend her to any family. Thank you for everything!
My son has been in Louise and Mimi's care for a couple of months, in which time we've already increased our days at Beverley Brook Childcare and reduced at our traditional nursery. It's so heartening to see the positive impact: the sheer delight when he realises he is on his way to spend the day with Louise and Mimi, the way he now challenges himself and the new language he is experimenting with. Not only do Louise and Mimi take the children on the most wonderful adventures, they have inculcated a warm and inclusive environment for all the children. It's noticeable the care and respect they show their little peers. We couldn't be happier and would encourage curious parents to reach out and see for themselves.
My little boy has only been attending for a few months after school he absolutely loves going and looks forward to going every week, he goes twice a week which he gets collected from school and he has said many times he would love to go more days but unfortunately the availability isn’t there. He loves the combined learning with play, she organises after school activities at different places when available. My little boy couldn’t sing her praises anymore than he does the excitement just bursts out of him when he knows she is picking him up from school
Talitha was amazing with the children. She understood all of our requirements and made sure that everything was done the way we wanted. She was prompt everyday and dropped the kids to school and nursery on time. She handled the school runs and looking after multiple children with ease and confidence. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others looking for childcare.

Christie has been fantastic. Her responses are always prompt, she’s reliable and super professional. My daughter absolutely loves when she comes to mind her, which says everything. I feel completely at ease knowing she’s looking after her. We’ll definitely be using her again.

Sarah looked after both of my boys from the age of 1 and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. Both my children loved going to Sarah's and never wanted to leave! They were always doing something fun and educational ( even though they didnt know it!)
Her setting has a real home from home feel but with all the extras that you dont have at home! From crafts to den building, baking etc there was always something fun to do!
Highly recommend Sarah!
Renu has truly been a second mum to both of my sons, Girik and Harshiv.
Choosing Renu as our childminder was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She cared for both of my boys from the age of one until they started nursery, and her home quickly became their second home.
Renu has a remarkable ability to engage, nurture, and encourage children. Under her care, my boys thrived in so many ways. They developed healthy eating habits, learned new skills every day, and grew in confidence. She especially helped them discover a love for dance and supported them in overcoming their stage fear, which was wonderful to see.
What we appreciated most was the warm, caring, and inclusive environment she created. She celebrated different festivals and traditions, helping the children learn about and respect different cultures. She regularly took them to parks and playgroups, giving them valuable opportunities to socialise, explore, and learn. She also instilled important values such as kindness, good manners, and respect for others.
Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved going to Renu's house every day. They were always excited to see her, which gave us complete peace of mind as parents. The love, care, and strong foundation she provided during those early years have had a lasting impact on them.
We will always be grateful to Renu for everything she has done for our family and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, dedicated, and exceptional childminder.
❤️ Thank you, Renu, for being such a special part of Girik's and Harshiv's childhood.
Mini bugz has been amazing, the support and dedication is fornominal.
My child attendes 5days a week , and he loves going to nursery, all the staff are fantastic.
Hes always happy to go, and hes happy when he leaves at the end of the day.
I feel so grateful, to have met such wonderful staff, and to see how far my child has come , and that all down to muni bugz, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you, for all your support and dedication towards my child, it shows. Absolutely amazing.
Devon had our little girl from 8 months until just after she turned 2. She absolutely loved going from day one to the point she shut the door in my face and wanted to get inside as quickly as possible everyday!! She went above and beyond to ensure she gave her the best time there and so many learning opportunities. She regularly updated me throughout the day which as a first time mom leaving your 8 month old with someone is petrifying. From day 1 I felt comfortable Devon having our little girl, it was just like she was with family! I am so grateful to Devon for everything she has done with our little girl. She has only left the setting due to me taking time out with our second daughter so I will be looking after both myself. I was heartbroken to take her from the setting because of how much she loved it there! I can’t thank Devon enough for everything she has done for our little girl, she really was part of the family. Any child left with her would have the best time and is in the safest hands!
We whole heartedly recommend our incredible nanny, Ella, who cared for our son for over two years from age 17 months. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and wonderfully patient. Ella is knowledgeable about development and perfectly supported our son's introverted sensibilities, helping him build social skills, kindness, and confidence. She has superb judgement with health, allergies, and medical needs, and is a safe, confident driver. Ella has a fantastic local nanny network, keeping our son active and socialised and introducing us to other local families, which was so used as we were new to the area. Even our cat loves her!
