We were so grateful to have Kellie as our event nanny at a wedding that we were very much a part of. Any initial worries about whether having an event nanny would work were immediately put to rest when we met her.
Kellie was warm, friendly, softly spoken and incredibly present with the children. She instantly captured their attention and created such a lovely, wholesome environment for them. We were able to fully enjoy the wedding knowing the children were safe, happy and having a wonderful time.
The sound of all their giggles coming from the playroom was everything! Kellie was an absolute pleasure to have there and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, attentive and wonderful with children. (We’ll be inviting Kellie to all future events until the end of time 🤣🩵)
I booked Sonia for a babysit after another sitter cancelled on me at short notice. Sonia was very professional, came over and met the boys and shared all her credentials and references with me.
I even found that she used to nanny for my boss’ kids.
She was great, nothing was too much hassle. Her communication throughout the evening was excellent and the kids were calm and settled with her.
I was very glad of her first aid skills as one of my kids had an accident at school two days before and a day before which meant that her medical skills were needed to assess for risk of minor concussion worsening. She did all the checks regularly meaning I could still do my evening out and updated me and reassured me that symptoms were stable.
I would definitely book her again.
I’m really happy with the care my children have received. They are always made to feel comfortable, safe and welcome, and I can see how much care and attention is given to them.
It’s really important to me to know that my children are with someone I can trust, and I feel reassured knowing they are being looked after so well. The communication has also been really good, and I’m kept updated when needed.
I would definitely recommend this childminder to other parents. Thank you for all the care and support you give to my children. ❤️
4 weeks now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how well he has settled in. He is only 1 year old, so naturally I was quite nervous about leaving him, especially as this was his first experience being away from home. However, she has been absolutely amazing at making both him and me feel comfortable.
She is so kind, caring, nurturing and patient with him, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about the children in her care. My son has already built such a lovely bond with her and trusts her, which gives me so much reassurance. Seeing him happy and comfortable with her makes leaving him so much easier.
She keeps me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciate. She lets me know how he is doing, what he has been up to and how he is getting on, so I never feel out of the loop. This has been especially reassuring on the days when I’ve felt worried about him being away from home.
She also provides such a lovely variety of experiences. They do lots of activities, attend different playgroups and get out and about, which I love because he is getting the opportunity to socialise, explore and learn while having fun.
I really appreciate how understanding she is of my worries as a mum and how she always reassures me. She has made what could have been a very difficult transition feel so much easier.
After only 4 weeks, I can already see how comfortable and happy my son is there, and that means everything to me. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing and trustworthy childminder. We feel very lucky to have found her! ❤️
Our boys have been going to Vida since the beginning of September. They always come home happy with full tummies and stories to tell, and we get lots of photos during the day. Vida is very caring and always puts a smile on their faces. She plans fun activities and even plays football with them! Thank you, Vida, for the home from home care you provide!
Tay has an incredible way with children, and our boys absolutely adore her. Her patience and kindness are truly unmatched.
She's always punctual and keeps us informed about how our sons are doing throughout the day. We have complete peace of mind knowing that they're in such capable hands.
I wholeheartedly recommend Tay to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated nanny. We are so grateful for everything she does for our sons. Thank you, Tay, for being amazing!
We have been with our childminder for almost two years, and I can confidently say she has been a wonderful support for both our son and our family.
She is highly experienced, organised, and structured in her approach. Every day the children attend different stay-and-play groups where they have opportunities to play, sing, do crafts, and socialise with other children. At home, she also provides a variety of educational activities, including reading, flashcards, puzzles, and other age-appropriate learning experiences.
One of the biggest benefits for us has been our son’s language development. We speak a different language at home, and he has learned much of his English through spending time with her. We have seen significant progress in his communication skills over the past two years.
She strikes an excellent balance between being kind and nurturing while also maintaining clear boundaries and expectations. This has had a very positive impact on our son. He has learned important social skills such as taking turns, sharing, and following routines, and we often notice that his behaviour is particularly good when he is with her.
As first-time parents, we have also appreciated her advice on developmental matters such as weaning, potty training, sleep routines, and other milestones. Her experience gives us confidence, and we feel certain that if she ever had concerns about our son’s development, she would raise them promptly and professionally.
Our son genuinely enjoys spending time with her. She has a dedicated playroom with a wide range of toys and activities, and over the years we have seen her regularly update and expand her resources to keep the children engaged and interested.
We particularly value the detailed daily records she keeps, including activities, meals, sleep times, and nappy changes. This level of organisation gives parents a clear picture of their child’s day and demonstrates her professionalism and attention to detail.
We highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and reliable childminder. We have been extremely happy with the care she has provided and feel very fortunate to have found her.
We cannot recommend LeighAnne highly enough. She has cared for our son for the past two years and has been absolutely wonderful.
She has cared for him with so much love, patience and kindness, and knowing he was happy, safe and so well looked after gave us complete peace of mind. She has supported not only our son but our whole family, always being there with reassurance, advice and a listening ear.
She is truly a credit to her profession and goes above and beyond in everything she does. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as such an important part of our sons early years.
Although he is moving on to nursery, we are so grateful she will continue to be part of our lives through our daughter. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
We honestly cannot recommend Catherine highly enough. ❤️
Johnny started with Catherine when he was just 1 year old and stayed with her until he was nearly 3, when he moved on to preschool. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and settled.
Before Johnny even started, Catherine took time out of her own life to meet us at the park so that Johnny could get to know her and build a relationship with her. Settling him with other childminders had been really difficult for us, so this meant more to us than she probably realised. It made such a difference and helped Johnny feel safe and happy in her care.
Johnny absolutely loved going to Catherine’s house and was always so excited for his days with her. He especially loved all the trips and adventures they went on, from soft play to visiting the farm. She gave him so many lovely experiences and opportunities to have fun, explore and learn, and we know he made so many wonderful memories along the way.
Catherine was also fantastic at supporting us with his development. When we started potty training at home, she worked alongside us and encouraged Johnny in exactly the same way while he was in her care. Having that consistency between home and the childminder made such a difference and we really appreciated the time and effort she put into helping him.
It was honestly quite emotional when the time came for Johnny to leave and start preschool, because Catherine had been such a big part of his life for nearly two years. Even now, after leaving, he still talks about her and remembers his time with her, which says everything about the special bond they shared. ❤️
We will always be incredibly grateful to Catherine for everything she did for Johnny and for the love, care, patience and encouragement she gave him. She wasn't just his childminder — she became someone who was genuinely very special to him and to our family.
Thank you for everything, Catherine. We couldn't have wished for anyone better to look after our little boy. ❤️
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful nanny for our son. She started looking after him when he was just 6 months old, and from the very beginning she has been absolutely amazing with him.
She is such a positive, energetic and caring person, and always keeps him active and engaged. She takes the time to play with him, take him out, explore new things and make sure his days are fun and stimulating. It has been lovely watching the bond between them grow, and it is very clear how comfortable and happy he is with her.
As a parent, having someone you genuinely trust with your baby means everything, and we have always felt completely comfortable knowing he is in her care. She is reliable, kind, patient and brings such lovely positive energy into our home.
We couldn't be happier with her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with children. ❤️

In September 2025, my daughter left CC’s to move to a preschool/nursery setting. However, after just a month, I quickly realised that it wasn’t the right fit for her, so we made the decision to return her to CC’s.
The trust that Claudine builds with both the children and parents is honestly unmatched. I wholeheartedly trust her and all the staff with my daughter, and I always knew she was in the best possible care. The team consistently goes above and beyond with the children’s daily activities, and you can see how much thought and effort goes into making sure they are not only fun but also support the children’s learning and development.
My daughter has now started school, but she constantly asks to go back to CC’s, which I think says everything. As a parent, CC’s has honestly been the best childcare experience I have had. I will always be grateful to Claudine and her team for the care, love and support they gave my daughter.
I couldn’t recommend CC’s enough! ❤️
We can’t praise Erica and her childcare enough. She is very caring and nurturing, and really seems to understand and tune into each child and what they need.
Our daughter (just turned 1 at the time) had quite bad separation anxiety, but Erica was amazing with her, but also with us as parents. She gave us so much support, guidance and little tips along the way, which made such a difference.
Erica always plans a range of fun and stimulating activities, with lots of activities that are genuinely great for the kids development, as well as lovely outings and excursions throughout the week. You can really see how passionate Erica is about children’s development and about creating a setting that is fun, engaging and educational at the same time.
One of the things we’ve loved about Erica’s setting that our daughter got to spend time with children of different ages, but still received more caring, individual attention compared with what she’d have received at a nursery.
We’ve been so happy with the care our daughter has received and would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for childcare. We feel very lucky to have found her.
Della is a wonderful childminder. She’s incredibly sweet, caring and clearly genuinely loves children. Our daughter is always very happy with her, and we love that Della takes her out to the park a lot and makes sure they get plenty of time outside.
She’s also really flexible and accommodating, which we appreciate so much as parents. We feel completely comfortable leaving our daughter with her and know she’s being looked after with lots of warmth and care. We’re so happy we found Della and would absolutely recommend her to other families!

My 21 month old has been going to Shelley for just under a year, he is thriving his speech is amazing and he is such a smart little boy … also can be very cheeky. During his time he has been on many days out and adventures, Shelley also does so much with him indoors … making cakes, pizza, water play, ice play in extreme heat we had, colouring, drawing and so much more.
Shelley provides a safe space and Jaxon has been very well looked after, he always has yummy food with Shelley.
I love being updated throughout the day via the Tiney app and Shelley is always reliable and efficient with her updates. Jaxon loves Shelley’s Tiney home and as his parent I highly recommend.
Thank you for all you do and we look forward to Jaxon thriving even more whilst in your care.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sumer to look after our son. Leaving your little one with someone else for the first time is never easy, but from the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. What we love most is how genuinely caring and attentive she is with him. She has taken the time to understand his little personality, his routines, what he likes and dislikes, and what makes him feel comfortable. It’s so lovely to see how happy and excited he is when he arrives now, and how settled he has become in her care.
She treats him with so much warmth, patience and affection, and we can really see the positive impact she has had on him. We also really appreciate the little updates and photos throughout the day, they mean so much to us and make us feel connected to what he’s been doing while we’re at work.
As parents, having someone we can completely trust with our child gives us such peace of mind. We never feel like he is simply being looked after, we know he is being cared for, encouraged, played with and loved.
Thank you so muc Sumera for all the care, patience and kindness you show our little boy. We genuinely couldn’t ask for someone better to be part of his early years. ❤️
Diana (or 'Dia), is an outstanding childminder. Dia always goes the extra mile to care for my little boy. She has a natural gift for looking after children. Dia knows exactly how to talk to children, she is warm, friendly and approachable. My little boy really enjoys seeing her. He likes to tell us (myself and my partner) how he has spent his time with her playing games and reading books, singing nursery rhymes and having fun! Dia is trustworthy and reliable. She can be relied on to do the activities that are required to look after children, such as, oversight of their eating, toileting, bedtime routines etc. I cannot rate Dia highly enough, she really is fab!!

Choosing Daniela was the best decision I could have made. She is warm, kind and clearly very experienced with children. My daughter loved her immediately. She is someone you can trust from the very beginning, and we feel very lucky to have found her.

Our 2 year old has been with Nabila for almost a year and it’s has been wonderful ! Nabila is very calm and loving, making the children feel at ease and welcomed into her home and family. My son often says “ I love Nabila’s house and I love Nabila” and often asks to go on the weekends :-) She always has time to talk, is great at communicating and very quick at replying ! As working parents we appreciate her flexibility, and I feel at ease knowing my son is with her. She has been really helpful with coming up with creative ways to help support napping schedules for our very active busy brained son ! She seems to take everything in her stride and provides wonderful care.
Nabila clearly has excellent experience of the EYFS curriculum and comes up with fun and educational daily activities for the children to engage with from going the supermarket to learn about maths to exploring in nature and creating art. You can tell she loves her job, and the children feel this!
Overall, I cannot recommend Nabila enough! We are so grateful for her loving care and warm approach to all her interactions with us and her son.
