Lisa & Neil have been looking after our daughter for over a year now and she is absolutely thriving. She adores her time at Lisa’s Happy Home and has made a wonderful group of friends. We visited lots of childminders before meeting Lisa & Neil and I knew instantly that it was the place for our daughter. They look after her like she’s one of their own and I’ve never known a childminder to provide such an extensive and varied experience for their children. Lisa & Neil truly go the extra mile and have created a wonderful community which we feel truly privileged to be a part of. One of the best things about Lisa is that she keeps me up to date on every day our daughter is with her - she knows I like to get regular updates and I love receiving the photos she sends me so I can see that our daughter is happy and having fun.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Lisa & Neil more highly - there isn’t anyone I’d rather leave our daughter with!

My child attends Lisa’s happy home and absolutely loves it! She’s developing, making friendships and excitedly runs to the door each morning ready to go! With Lisa you always know what’s planned for the week, from woodland walks, play groups and getting involved in the kicthen. Lisa and her husband Neil really take on the kids as if they were their own, and we get loads of photos throughout the day too.
It really gives us peace of mind knowing our daughter is going to a childminder who really shows they love what they do.
The space itself involves most of the downstairs, with a lovely garden for the kids too, with outside play and toys. The children have a dedicated dining area in the kitchen, and loads of toys to choose from in the living room.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to send our child to Lisa’s happy home. If you’re thinking of sending your child, we highly recommend!

I honestly couldn’t recommend Eliza enough! She is such a kind, caring and wonderful childminder who is absolutely amazing with my little girl. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is in such safe, loving and nurturing hands.
Eliza takes the children on lots of lovely outings and adventures, giving them opportunities to explore, learn and experience new things. She also provides healthy, nutritious meals and snacks, which is so important to me. Her safeguarding is excellent, and I always feel confident that my little girl is safe, happy and well cared for.
It’s clear how much love, care and effort Eliza puts into what she does, and she truly goes above and beyond for the children in her care. Finding someone you can trust with your child is so important, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
Thank you, Eliza, for everything you do. You are an absolutely fantastic childminder, and I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and dedicated to their child’s happiness and development. ❤️
We placed my son into this nursery for a year before he started reception in the hopes it would prepare him for the transition to primary school. It definitely helped as now he is in Reception, the transition has been very smooth and enjoyable.
The staff at the nursery are passionate about what they do, they provide great experiences and environments and have the children’s interests at the forefront of their learning. My son particularly enjoyed Forest School and trips to the local allotments. The children are also included in all school events such as sports day and world book day.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone that is looking for a space that their child feels safe, respected and their needs met.
I would definitely recommend Susyanne and Childdreams! ❤️ My daughter attended Childdreams, and we had a very positive experience. The food was always excellent, and it was lovely to know she was in a welcoming environment. I’m happy to recommend Childdreams to other parents looking for childcare. Wishing Susyanne lots of success with her lovely business! 😊
Fran babysat our baby son (starting at 9 months) a couple times a week for a few hours for several months and now occasionally when we go out in the evenings. (He’s now almost 2.) Fran has been wonderful with our son! He is always full of smiles when she arrives! She is great with kids, but also incredibly reliable and responsible, which was really important for me since he was so young when she started working with us. It was so nice for me to know I could trust her, which set my mind at ease. I’d highly recommend Fran for anyone looking for a babysitter. You’ll be lucky to have her!

My son attended the nursery for a year before starting in reception. It was the best thing we could've done for him. He settled in straight away as the staff were so kind and welcoming and I felt confident that he was being well looked after.
The nursery has lots of fantastic facilities and the staff are always thinking up creative and educational activities for the kids to do.
My son always came home from nursery happy and he couldn't wait to go back the next day.
The staff kept parents up to date on all the fun things the kids had been up to and were always available to speak with parents if needed.
We definitely recommend this nursery to any parent!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Husina.
We had her 2-3 days a week to help when my babies turned 7 months. She was patient with them and I loved how she engages them with songs, sensory play as well as other age-appropriate activities. One time I watched her get on the floor and crawled across the house with them. You can tell that Husina loves babies.
Looking after twins is a whole different game to singleton but Husina gave it a good shot. We started off supporting her during naps, meal times and nappy changes but over a short period of 2 months, she evolved to managing most of it alone.
My babies are happy when they see her coe through the door and I can't wait to see how their interactions unfold as my babies get older.
I also appreciate her flexibility when we needed additional days or nights.
Whilst I do work from home, I have peace of mind that my babies are in good hands with Husina.
Daniela has been looking after my children for over a half year now, once or twice a week. She picks them up from school, takes them home, goes through the day's routines and keeps their minds and hands busy.
I am a working single mother with 2 children so she is a godsend for me.
I have been looking for an adaptable babysitter for months before I found her and I have to say, she is just what I needed.
My children love her, which is not surprising as she is very warm hearted. She has years of experience with children in official setting, plus her personal ones as well. She is not set in her ways and is willing to change things about if neccessary and gives constant feedback on what they are doing, with my permission sending me pictures of activities and debriefs me on all that went down during the day when I get home.
She knows clearly what she needs to do and how to go about it.
I have only ever had family members helping me out with the children before and seeing how engaging she is with them, keeping them active, while still sticking to the rules, fills me with so much joy. I can only recommend her.
Absolutely brilliant and so understanding!
We can’t thank her enough for all her help during such a difficult time. She was so understanding and flexible with her availability when we were struggling to find childcare while bringing our new baby into the world. She was so reassuring throughout and absolutely brilliant with the kids, which put our minds at ease at a time when we really needed it. We’re so grateful for her kindness, support and flexibility and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!
Laura is amazing with my two girls 4 and 1. She has been flexible when necessary coming in early, staying late, driving the girls to activities, and always sparking curiosity and learning through visits to the park, baking, and crafts. She is ever so gentle and kind and I grew to completely trust her with the well being of my two children. I always reach out to her, when I have childcare needs and she responds promptly even if it is not something she can be available for due to other commitments. So anyone would be lucky to use her services if they can.
Jo has looked after my daughter since she was 9 months old and she absolutely loves going. She always comes home so happy, confident and relaxed, which is lovely to see.
Jo has been such a support to our whole family, not just my daughter. She’s made us feel so at ease, and it means so much knowing my daughter is happy and cared for while she’s there. I honestly can’t recommend Jo enough!
Our family have been with Nina for 4 years now and have loved the experience. Our son thoroughly enjoyed his 3 years at Nina's and is now in school, but our daughter continues loving life there. Nina and the team have provided a safe, nurturing, fun, and warm home from home for our children. Thanks to Nina and team, our son flourished during his time there in those crucial first years of life; he left Ninas and started school a happy, fun and curious little boy. The consistency of care and love that they give means our children have always felt safe and happy there. They have developed strong, loving bonds with the team, and wonderful friendships with the other children there. It was always so much fun to hear the names of the different children my son played with as he started developing friendships.
Nina and team also go out of their way to support the families of the children they work with - they are flexible and always willing to help out where they can. It has always been reassuring to know that our children were in a safe and loving environment when our family has gone through some particularly challenging times. We felt looked after by Nina and the team when we most needed it, and for that I will always be truly grateful.
Our son's transition to school has been smooth, and I attribute a lot of that down to the wonderful start to life he had at Nina's. Our daughter is similarly becoming confident and curious, and we look forward to seeing how the rest of her time at Nina's pans out (and thankful to not have to say a final farewell to Nina and her team quite yet!).
Thank you Nina and team for the wonderful work you do!

Miss Chi has been our childminder for over a year now and I genuinely couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
When our previous childminder decided to return to full-time teaching, I was incredibly anxious about finding someone new. My daughter has additional needs, so finding someone who could understand her, make her feel comfortable and provide the right level of care was especially important to me.
I came across Miss Chi on here and arranged for us to meet her and from that very first visit I had such a positive feeling about her. What stood out to me most was how quickly my daughter felt comfortable and at ease in her presence. This isn’t something that comes easily to my daughter so seeing her settle so naturally was incredibly reassuring I knew immediately that Miss Chi was the right person for us.
Over a year later she has proven that my instincts were absolutely right. She took on the role so naturally and quickly made the effort to understand my daughter’s individual needs, personality and routines. She provides such thoughtful and attentive care and consistently goes above and beyond what is expected.
Miss Chi looks after my daughter before and after school as well as occasionally providing additional care outside of term time. She is incredibly reliable, professional and communicative. One thing I particularly appreciate is that she keeps me updated about my daughter’s day without me ever having to ask. It’s these thoughtful little things that make such a difference and give me complete peace of mind.
Beyond her professionalism, Miss Chi is simply a wonderful person she is naturally warm, friendly, patient, empathetic and genuinely caring. It’s clear that caring for children is something that comes naturally to her!
Miss Chi has earned my trust time and time again, and I never take that for granted. I feel incredibly fortunate that we found her!
I wholeheartedly recommend Miss Chi to any parent looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, professional and truly exceptional childminder.

We could not have asked for a better childminder for Thierry. From day one, Fatima was incredibly caring, supportive, and helpful, creating a warm and nurturing environment where he felt completely happy and secure.
Thierry absolutely loved going to her, and it was amazing to see how much he learned and developed while in her care. Fatima provided a fantastic range of activities that encouraged his learning, confidence, and social skills, and she always went above and beyond to support his individual needs.
Fatima's professionalism, dedication, and genuine passion for childcare are second to none. She sets an exceptionally high standard for childminders and is truly outstanding at what she does. The care, knowledge, and skills Fatima brings to her role are remarkable, and she is someone others in the profession could learn from.
We are incredibly grateful for everything Fatima has done for Thierry and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
Thank you for giving Thierry such a happy, enriching, and memorable start in life.
Riffatt looked after our 6 month old son relatively last minute due to an unexpected stay in hospital for me. She communicated really well with updates throughout the day, and was able to stick to our son’s routine despite also looking after other children. Our son came and left very happily with Riffatt, and we could tell he’d had so much fun. Thank you Riffatt!
Absolutely! Here’s a warm, natural review you can post:
5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tabita is a wonderful nanny and I would highly recommend her. She took very good care of my children and was kind, caring, patient and responsible. My kids were very happy and comfortable with her, and I felt completely confident leaving them in her care. She did a great job and we were very pleased with her. Thank you, Tabita! ❤️
I have avoided writing this review becuase I simply cannot find the words to express how amazing Colleen & Renee really are. I searched for months to find the right setting, environment and care for my 18 month old and can honestly say they exceed my expectations daily! I am always kept informed and receive photos and videos of his many adventures. I honestly couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you both so much for looking after my boy like your own, Phoenix absolutely adores you.
