There aren’t enough words to properly describe how amazing Sophie has been as our childminder over the past 9 months.
From the very beginning, she has been warm, kind, and genuinely caring, and we have always felt completely confident leaving our son in her care. She creates such a nurturing and happy environment, and it is clear how much she truly cares for the children she looks after.
Sophie does so many varied and engaging activities with them, always keeping things fun, stimulating, and age-appropriate. We have been especially impressed with how much she has helped our son develop his understanding of colours and numbers during his time with her. It has been wonderful to see his confidence grow.
She also provides consistently lovely, nutritious, and tasty meals, which he always enjoys.
We are only saying goodbye because we are relocating to the US; otherwise, we would have loved for our son to stay with her much longer. We feel very lucky to have had her as part of his early years, and we cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

Kasia, is currently looking after by almost 2year old boy and I could not be more happy about it. Her personal approach to kids is one of a kind and she always tries to find something for them to do as activities outside the house. She cooks the food and has a lot of variety. Thank you again for everything!

I cannot recommend Nic highly enough. From the very beginning, she has treated my daughter like one of her own, and that means the world to me as a parent.
My daughter absolutely adores going to Nanny Nic's. Every morning she runs straight into the house without looking back, which says everything about how happy, comfortable and loved she feels there. The bond they have built is truly special, and it's clear how much Nic genuinely cares for all of the children she looks after.
Nic is always taking the children on exciting adventures and introducing them to new places and experiences. My daughter has developed so much since starting with her, both in confidence and in her learning, and I know a huge part of that is down to the time, care and effort Nic puts into everything she does.
My eldest daughter attended a nursery, and while it was good, I honestly wish she had been able to experience the personal, family-like environment that Nic provides. The level of care, attention and love she gives each child is something truly special.
I am so grateful for everything Nic does for my daughter and for the support she gives our family. We couldn't have asked for a better childminder, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
Zoe has looked after my two boys for a while now (2&5) and they absolutely love going round to play. The setting is lovely and warm with loads of activities. The best part is the wonderful garden filled with magical corners that gives the forest school feel. Would highly recommend!
I initially found Charlie through Facebook, where she regularly promotes her childcare services and her expertise in child development and behaviour. As a parent, these were qualities that genuinely interested me, and I was initially very positive about her profile.
However, after carrying out my own due diligence, I decided not to proceed. At the time of writing, the profile had been active for around four months and had four 5-star reviews. Whilst the two most recent reviews appeared genuine, I was concerned by the first two reviews, posted on 3rd and 4th February. The wording, structure, and descriptions used were remarkably similar, with both reviews referring to Charlie as calm, reliable, having a natural way with children, strong safeguarding awareness, and creating a nurturing environment. I cannot comment on their authenticity, but the similarities reduced my confidence in relying on them as independent reviews.
I was also left with questions regarding the profile itself. Charlie describes herself as a recently qualified maternity nurse, whilst simultaneously offering specialist behavioural, trauma-informed, attachment, emotional regulation and newborn support services at premium rates. As a parent, I found it difficult to understand the qualifications, accreditation, and level of specialist experience underpinning some of these claims.
In addition, the profile states that Charlie is a mother of two very young children whilst also advertising extensive weekday availability, school holiday flexibility, travel across multiple areas, and specialist support services. There may well be a perfectly reasonable explanation for this, but the profile did not provide enough information for me to understand how these commitments fit together.
Ultimately, trust, transparency, and authenticity are extremely important to me when selecting childcare. Whilst other families may have had positive experiences, I personally felt there were too many unanswered questions regarding the profile, reviews, experience, and specialist claims for me to feel comfortable moving forward.

Nosh looked after my children and did a wonderful job. She arrived on time, was reliable, friendly and professional.
My children really liked her and felt comfortable with her. I was very happy with the care she provided and would gladly recommend her to other families.

Aspasia has been working with us for the last couple of months as a nanny for our 1 year old boy. She is a caring loving nanny and our son warmed up to her immediately. She is also very clean and organised, professional, with a clear experience and knowledge in children's development. On top of taking excellent care of our son, she helps with cooking and other light household tasks. She is hardworking and reliable. We are very happy with her and we couldn't recommend her high enough.
Alison is an amazing nanny with so much experience. She will have been with us for 3.5 years - during which time she has cared for our children beautifully - going to work knowing she is with our children has made life so much easier than it might have been! She has been an absolute asset to our family. Alison is completely reliable, has loads of infectious energy and always has the best interests of the children at heart. She’s not afraid to be firm when needed, but the children adore her. We are really sad that we can no longer offer her enough hours to keep her, she is wonderful.

My son, has been going to Dee since he was 4 months old. She has always taken great care of him and has been kind, patient, and attentive. It is clear how much he likes her because every time we arrive, he smiles and is happy to see her. As a parent, this gives me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend Dee to any parent looking for a caring and trustworthy childminder. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

She is an absolute gem! She plans fun, educational, and creative activities that keep my child engaged and learning. The updates and photos she shares always show a happy, settled child exploring the world. She balances structure with a home-from-home feel perfectly. We highly recommend her to any family looking for top-tier care.
Olivia has been a God send to me and my family. My children love her and that makes me feel at ease. She is kind, caring and nurturing. Her communication is spot on. Overall I highly recommend for any parent looking for childcare because she is very good at what she does and the fact that my children adore her makes the decision of working with her a very easy one. Keep up the good work
LittleFigs are amazing! We feel very lucky to have found Lauren. Our boy joined just after turning 1. He was quite nervous at first but Lauren and Emma were so good at making him feel comfortable. He was loving it in no time and we noticed a big step forwards in his development. He loves being there and gets to enjoy so many activities and outings. Lauren has also created a lovely community for the parents.
My twin boys started at Sandys Angels in March and they are absolutely thriving!! They love going every day, smiles as we walk up to the house! Sandy and Chloe are lovely, super informative at pick up and drop off, no two days are the same here it is something different for children every day. I wouldn’t send my boys anywhere else and we cannot wait for the years to come with you guys, thank you❤️

I am incredibly happy with the service provided by Cherished Cubs. She is an exceptionally hard-working woman who takes wonderful care of my son. As a mother, it gives me so much peace of mind to see how well looked after he is. Everything from the cleanliness of the setting to the healthy food and fun activities is absolutely amazing. Communication is excellent, and she truly goes above and beyond. I want to give her the outstanding recognition she deserves, as her dedication is unmatched. I highly recommend her to any parent!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more caring, loving and supportive childminder for my 3 year old daughter. From the very beginning,Halima made both me and my daughter feel completely comfortable and reassured. It’s never easy leaving your child in someone else’s care, but knowing she is happy, safe and genuinely cared for makes all the difference.
The patience, kindness and attention they give every single day is incredible. My daughter has grown so much in confidence, learning and social skills since being with them, and it’s clear how much effort goes into creating such a warm and nurturing environment.
Communication has always been amazing, with regular updates, photos and reassurance throughout the day, which means so much as a parent. It truly feels like my daughter is being cared for like family.
I’m beyond grateful for everything they do and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, professional and genuinely passionate about childcare.
Sophie is absolutely amazing and my daughter loves seeing her and spending time with her after a full day she still wants to stay longer! She has a lovely home from home setting, which includes lots of outdoor play and interaction.
She keeps me updated with everything throughout the day which is lovely to see and hear. Couldn't recommend Sophie enough!
AMAZING.
THANK YOU Sophie.
My daughter was cared for by Karen from the ages of 1 til 3. It was the first time I’d left her with someone other than family, and Karen was fantastic during the settling in period - she really put my mind at ease. I was always impressed at the amount of activities Karen organised for the children and the fun days out they got to experience. Karen would always send lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, I which I really appreciated. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond in caring for your child, ensuring they have fun-filled days where both you as a parent and your child can feel comfortable and content - I can’t recommend Karen enough!
Gaea is absolutely amazing. She babysat our daughter when she was just 1 year old, and from the very beginning we felt completely comfortable leaving her in Gaea's care.
Our daughter absolutely adored her and was always happy and settled with her. Gaea has such a natural way with children, she is kind, patient, caring, and attentive, and she always made sure our daughter felt safe, loved, and entertained.
As parents, one of the most important things is being able to trust the person looking after your child, and Gaea gave us complete peace of mind. She communicated well, was reliable, and genuinely cared about our daughter's wellbeing.
Gaea treats every child as if they were her own, and it is clear that childcare is more than just a job to her. She has a wonderful, warm personality and quickly became someone we trusted completely.
We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for someone who is not only an excellent babysitter but also a genuinely caring and lovely person, Gaea is exactly that. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Tilly was so lovely, friendly and engaging with the kids from the moment she arrived. She kept them entertained, made them feel completely at ease, and they had such a great time they've already asked when she's coming back! It was clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with children and has a wonderful way of connecting with them. We'd happily recommend her and would love to have her babysit again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
