Charlie is absolutely wonderful with my child! She is so caring, patient and attentive, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my little one is in her care. She cares about my child’s happiness and well-being, and my child is always so comfortable and happy around her. I really appreciate all the love, patience and effort Charlie has put into caring for my little one. Highly recommend Charlie to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring!

Gabriela spent time with Lana from September to July, and it was her very first experience being cared for by someone outside our family and away from home. Both Gabriela and we as parents were positively surprised by the warm, safe and homely atmosphere Lana created in her home.
Gabriela absolutely loved spending time in Lana’s garden, and we really appreciated the balanced, home-cooked meals she provided. Lana also planned many days with additional outings and activities, which made Gabriela’s time there varied, enjoyable and stimulating.
Lana is a very warm and caring person, while also having clear boundaries and routines. It wasn’t just about playing — Gabriela learned to count to 10 and recognise colours during her time there. We were really happy with the progress she made.
Gabriela was always happy when we dropped her off and, quite often, she would ask why I had come to pick her up so quickly! That was probably the best sign of how much she enjoyed being there.
We also really appreciated Lana’s flexibility. There was never an issue with changing a day or adjusting the pick-up time when needed, which made everything much easier for us as a family.
We are genuinely very happy with the few months Gabriela spent with Lana. We feel that she gave her a wonderful start before moving on to nursery. The homely environment and smaller number of children were absolutely ideal for Gabriela’s first experience away from home.
We would highly recommend Lana to any family looking for a caring, warm and supportive childminder.
My little girl started in September 2025 and absolutely loves it! We was so nervous about her starting as she hadn’t spent much time away from us but Siobhan and Ellie made the transition very easy for us! Florence has come on so much since she started, with her words and numbers, as well as the love and care she receives there! Truly the best, so good every child under 3 in our family has attended for many years now! They provide full updates of everything she has done all day aswell and pictures and videos which are lovely to see her so happy in their care! Siobhan and Ellie truly treat her like one of their own and she absolutely adores them too! Could not recommend Brightstars enough they are the absolute best!
A honest review here, i am a first time mum and my baby girl is only 5 weeks old struggling with gas and colic Lauren has been helping me caring for my baby shes absolutely amazing! She has a lot of experience with babies and believe me she knows her stuff ! I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone ❤️
Our daughter Maeve was with Penny for 3.5 years! Over that time Penny has helped Maeve become the amazing little girl she is today ! We feel like the setting is home from home which is why Maeve settled so quickly. Maeve was always excited to go to Pennys and even asks now if she can go back weekly. I was a first time mum full of anxiety that was instantly reassured by Penny and how she interacted with Maeve. The setting alone blew us away and Maeve will always look back on Pennys cabin with some of the best memories. However Penny didn’t just stay at the cabin they enjoyed weekly trips out to sundown, groups, parks the list goes on. Nothing is ever to much trouble for Penny she is approachable and always helpful where she can be and has helped our family through some tough times. We will forever be grateful for everything she did for us and our daughter and we cannot recommend her enough. We are hoping to also send baby number 2 fo Penny next year ! The most loyal trust worthy childminder and we would not look anywhere else!
Amelia is absolutely wonderful with our boys. She is so calm, kind, warm and confident with the boys. Her SEN experience really shows and her approach with our son has been so amazing.
Amelia has such a lovely gentle approach, getting down to their level, engaging in play. She makes our boys feel safe, understood and cared for. She is also so gentle and kind to our doggos who also adore her!!
We feel so lucky to have found Amelia and couldn’t recommend her highly enough’

Stacey is an amazing childminder for my baby, she has a beautiful home and lovely family too. She plays wonderfully with my little boy and has great age appropriate toys for him. She also sends lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated throughout the day so I know what he’s been doing, including naps, food, bowel movements. I would highly recommend her to anyone, very warm maternal lady with a great singing voice that my son loves when she gets him to sleep :-)

Our little boy has spent almost 4 years being looked after by Carol & we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. He always enjoyed all the activities Carol put on & looked forward to each morning to see what toys were out that day! Carol likes to take the children out a lot too with visits to lots of parks, the farm & walks in the woods. We loved receiving daily updates of what they got up too along with lots of photos, we will definitely miss that!
Lizzie has been looking after my son for well over a year now, and watching their bond grow has been beautiful. My son is always asking about her to see when she is coming next. My son is autistic and can be a real handful at times, but Lizzie has never had a problem dealing with him and always in a way that she knows I'd be happy with. I honestly can't recommend her enough. She's been reliable, flexible and incredibly accommodating to the various changes that have happened over the past year. My only issue is that we wish we could have her more!
Emily looked after our son from around 11 months until he was 18 months old, and we couldn't have been happier with her. During that time, she played a big part in his development, helping him build his language, physical and cognitive skills, while always finding creative activities and ideas to keep him engaged throughout the day.
She also helped us create a safe, healthy and nurturing environment for him, and we always felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Emily is extremely professional, reliable and punctual, and we could always count on her.
The only reason we had to stop working with Emily was because of our family travel plans abroad. Otherwise, we would have happily kept her for much longer. We would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy and genuinely great nanny.
Rahel is an incredible childminder who truly understands how to keep a busy 4-year-old engaged and happy. She organizes the best activities, from creative arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and park trips. The environment is safe, high-energy, and deeply nurturing. Communication is excellent, and I always feel completely reassured knowing my child is having such a wonderful time through regular updates including picture.
Cassie is quite simply wonderful - she has an innate connection with children and I trusted Cassie completely with my two young children. She brought a beautiful balance of warmth, care, and fun, all while maintaining healthy boundaries for them. Cassie supported us as parents and gave the children a wonderful mix of developmentally enriching activities, healthy routines, and so much love. I would recommend her without any hesitation.

We used Sam whilst on holiday in wadebridge, she was on time, communicated very well, and made our children feel very comfortable and safe.

Donna was fantastic with our 9- and 11-year-old daughters! She was warm, responsible, and immediately made them feel comfortable. The kids had a great time with her, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We would happily have Donna babysit again and highly recommend her!
We honestly couldn’t recommend Severine and Roche enough. They have looked after our son for the past two years, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had them as such an important part of his life.
From day one, they have provided him with so much love, care, patience and encouragement. He has always been so happy and excited to go to them, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was somewhere he felt safe, settled and genuinely cared for.
They have helped him grow in confidence, independence and character, and we have seen such a lovely difference in him over the two years.
We are especially grateful for all the little things they have done, the memories they have created and the fun they have given
him.
We will always be grateful for everything they have done for our son and for the wonderful start they have given him.
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn’t have wished for anyone better to care for him
