I recently went to view Korin’s Tiny Tots for my son and honestly came away feeling really good about it. The setting feels so warm and homely, which is exactly what I was hoping for—it just makes you feel like your child would settle in really easily.
Korin was lovely and took the time to explain everything, which made the whole viewing and joining process feel really relaxed and straightforward. I didn’t feel rushed at all and could tell she genuinely cares about the children and the environment she’s created.
The garden space is great—really safe and toddler-friendly—and inside there’s a nice mix of toys and learning activities, but still with that cosy home feel.
Overall, such a positive experience so far and I’m really happy with my choice. Looking forward to my son starting here.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a caring and reliable childminder. From the very beginning, Georgina has offered a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where our daughter has always felt happy and secure.
She goes above and beyond with the care she provides, and offers flexibility which greatly helps working parents.
Georgina is invested in the children's well-being and development. It’s clear how much thought and effort goes into planning engaging activities and outings that supports learning and development, while still making sure the children have lots of fun.
Georgina ensures we’re kept informed about daily routines, meals, and milestones, which gives us real peace of mind. Our daughter has grown in confidence and social skills being with Georgina for the past 3.5 years, and it’s lovely to see how excited she is to go each day.
With our daughter due to start reception soon, Georgina has ensured she is ready and we feel that she will thrive at school based on the start she has had in this wonderful setting. We will really miss Georgina.
We truly appreciate the patience, kindness, and professionalism that has been shown at all times. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina to anyone looking for outstanding childcare.
Veronika is very flexible when it comes to my daughter due to her being in and out of hospital she took great care in researching ejs disability and does all she can to help I’m so thankful I found Veronika it’s so nice knowing my daughter has some kind of normality in her life and gets a chance to be around other children in such a calm caring environment
She is always happy going and coming home from Veronikas and we are very grateful for all she does

Auntie SJ has been so helpful with looking after my child who settled in very well on her first day. I feel confident knowing that I leave my child with someone safe and experienced. SJ is always up to date with her register which I received timely updates with drop offs and pick ups. Most importantly SJ is very approachable which I highly recommend 💯

I have been with Vickie for 4 years, my daughter absolutely adores her. Their relationship is brilliant. My daughter comes home extremely happy, is full of confidence, has really come on well with her development. Vickie’s prices are not as expensive as I had found with others, which is helpful for a single parent. I would highly recommend Vickie’s childminding services.

Our little boy has been with Linda since Sept 2024 and we are very happy with her care. He has come on so well since being with Linda with his speech and learning. They also attend activities together like play group and trips to the library/park.
Our little boy loves going to Linda’s and we also love the fact that he is in a home environment/setting. ☺️ We have a nice bond with Linda which I feel is very important when trusting someone with the care of your child. Highly recommend 👍

Songita was amazing with our daughter, she was super nice, caring, earned both mine and our daughter’s trust. She always looked out for her, did an amazing job, my daughter loved her time with her. Highly recommend to everyone, she’s the best.
Melanie was so good with both of my kids, my eldest daughter took a shine to her straight away and they got on great. My youngest Theo was a bit harder to settle but she managed and was such a trooper about it, we felt really reassured the kids were in safe hands and didn’t worry at all while we were out. She’s very polite and caring and so funny too. Absolutely 10/10 babysitter and we would highly recommend her!

My daughter has been going to Sarah for over two years now, and I cannot recommend her services enough. It is such a comfort as a parent to see my daughter’s face light up every time the door opens; she is always so genuinely excited to go inside, which tells me everything I need to know about how happy she is there.
Sarah provides a fantastic environment for the children. Her indoor space is incredibly big and spacious, allowing for a wide variety of activities that keep the kids engaged and learning. Additionally, she has a wonderful large garden that the children get to enjoy fully, especially during the summer months when they spend a lot of time outdoors.
If you are looking for a caring, engaging, and spacious setting for your child, I fully recommend Sarah. We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives!
Ella was fantastic with my 3 yo daughter. the first thing I was told the next morning was “I like Ella. She read me lots of stories and sings Let it go”. Big success. I’ve already booked Ella again for babysitting. Communication was great too.
I was in desperate need of a babysitter last minute, I was recommended this website. Obviously unsure having never used this site before, but Ella has proved why it is such a great website for finding child care help.

I would be very wary of using Jemma if you need reliable childcare for work as her policies and approach are not suited to a longterm and reliable service. Her sickness policies are vague and not practical, wanting us to keep our child home if he had a cold and she had an event coming up. She has no direct child care experience, and she struggled to manage normal early years behaviours and wanted my child collected early while I was at work. Gemma prioritises her own family commitments over her childminding commitments. Gemma summarily ended our agreement with no notice via whattsapp my first week back at work, having reassured me all was well hours before.
Joanne is an incredible childminder. She is warm, calm and approachable and my little one was instantly comfortable in her home from his first visit.
Her setting is great; safe, clean and bright, with a great selection of toys and books, that the children have free access to.
Joanne sends regular updates and pictures during the day and my little one always looks happy and relaxed. Her communication and openness make asking questions easy, and I am always reassured she has the right approach.
Joanne was so flexible with settling in and I really felt that she had my little one's best interests at heart and had a great approach that worked for him, which was very reassuring right from the start.
Now my little one is settled with her (which happened so quickly!) he runs in every morning and is happy to see me go. He loves his trips to the playgroups and parks and gets on well with the other children Joanne minds. He comes home happy each day, tired from his many adventures. It's clear she creates a great atmosphere for all the children and that they feel safe and cared for with her.
My little one sleeps and eats well with Joanne because he is comfortable and happy, and her communication in ensuring this has been fantastic.
I can't recommend her enough.
My daughter has been cared for by Sandra for over 3.5 years, since she was 5.5 months old, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. From the very first day, she created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where my child has thrived. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for the children in her care shine through in everything she does.
Even now that my daughter is in school, she still looks forward to spending time with her during the holidays — which says everything about the bond she has built. She goes above and beyond every single day, whether it’s planning fun activities, supporting learning, or simply being a comforting and reliable presence.
I am incredibly grateful for the role she has played in my child’s early years. I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and exceptional.

My son started when he was almost 11 months old and had settled in pretty well! He is now become so accustomed to going 3 days a week and looks forward to going to spend a full day! He has learned so much already and is only just turned 18 months! He has a great routine that Bisantha has introduced and we can see he really enjoys his time there! Would really recommend Bisantha!
Dawn is absolutely lovely. We used her as a one time babysitter while we visited the Oxford area for a wedding. As we don't live in England, I was nervous to interview and hire a stranger to watch my five year old. She was quick to respond to messages, chatted with me via video call, and had one of her grandchildren with her, which really helped my nerves. The day of the event, she was on time, got to know my son, and I felt really secure leaving him with her. My son can be high energy and she matched that, enthusiastically. They went to the adventure park at Blenheim, had dinner, and then bedtime! I hope to visit the area again and would absolutely hire her again!

Tina has had our son since December 2025 and he is thriving in her care. He’s happy at drop off and collection and making excellent progress with her. He’s with her four days a week and moving to five in September. They’re out and about most days exploring playgroups or visiting the library. We receive lots of photos and check ins through the day to know how he’s doing which is lovely. It is clear on the photos and in interactions how happy our son is in her care. Would absolutely recommend!
