Helen cared for my child for 4 years, her warm and friendly approach within her family home was exactly what we were looking for. My son always enjoyed going to her house, they always went out and did lots of exciting trips as well as lots of home play and learning. I was always amazed at the amount my son learnt and i really trusted Helens approach with him and the other children. Her experience really shines through and her Outstanding Ofsted rating is spot on.
I highly recommend Helen to anyone- she really is brilliant!
Debbie provided an oasis full of activities and engagement, I was blown away with the variety of opportunities she offered my son who was sadly only with her for a short period due to us moving. Actually cried when we had to leave as a strong bond had been secured only after 3 months. Debbie is an absolute gold dust of a child minder if you are lucky enough to get her. Don’t think we will find anyone to replace her quite the same. Her house is FULL of the best toys, always clean, spacious and she can cater for many different interests. My son particularly enjoyed her variety of trains and playing outside on the different cars and sandpit and outside toys. She is so calm and capable which I think comes from all her years of experience.

Charlotte has been childminding for my daughter since she was around 10 months.
I knew instantly upon meeting Charlotte, that my daughter would be in safe hands. Charlotte is kind and exceptional with children of all
ages.
Charlotte offers a home from home environment with lots of space and a beautiful garden for the children to enjoy.
I am forever grateful that I found Charlotte and that my daughter has been lucky enough to be cared for by such a wonderful human.
Thankyou Charlotte for everything xx
I had a great experience with Gul. She watched my 7 month old for two days while I had to work and she was fantastic. From the moment she walked into my home and greeted my daughter with a big smile and hug, I knew she was going to be a great fit! She played with my daughter all day, got her napping in the pram, fed her and even tidied up my house while my daughter napped! She arrived on time both days and even helpfully offered to pick up medicine from the pharmacy for my daughter. My daughter really loved Gul and gave her smiles all day. I can’t recommend Gul enough!! I will be asking for her to babysit again next time I need help.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding care my daughter has received over the past few weeks. Although it has only been a short period, we have already been deeply impressed by the level of attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine kindness shown each day.
My daugher has settled remarkably quickly, which I attribute to the calm environment, clear routines, and the thoughtful way the childminder engages with them. Communication has also been excellent - updates are timely, informative, and reassuring.
It is a great comfort to know our child is in such capable and caring hands. We are truly grateful for the support and look forward to continuing this positive relationship.

Sophia and Bella began looking after our daughter when she was 11 months old until she was 2.5 years old. They were comforting, knowledgable and our values aligned. The meals were nutritious and their active/sensory play was always creative. They took the children out in the local area (parks, books shops, soft play and cafes). Our daughter came home nurtured. Their communication was always professional. We had an "emergency" situation for a month and they were very accommodating to our needs as a family. We've recommended Sophia and Bella to multiple families and will continue to do so.

My toddler fell in love with Tara instantly. She has a very positive vibe, and is very caring. When she is babysitting I know my child will get good quality of time, playing, dancing, reading books, with lots of laughs and giggles. She is also punctuate and reliable. Highly recommended

Brockley Bees Child Care has been an incredibly trustworthy and dependable service provider for our family. My son has been in their care for 4–5 years, and during that time they have consistently shown exceptional kindness, patience, and professionalism. The team goes above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged.
What stands out most is how genuinely caring they are. They don’t just look after the children, they nurture them, guide them, and celebrate their growth in a way that feels truly personal. Over the years, they’ve become so much more than a childcare service to us. Their warmth, dedication, and constant support have made them feel like an extension of our own family.
I am incredibly grateful for everything they have done for my son, and i couldn’t imagine a better place for him to learn, grow, and be cared for.
Adel was very easy to interact with and took the time to find out about both my children before she was going to look after them. Adel arrived on time and was amazing with my children and was able to follow bedtime routines and settle my youngest with Send needs into bed easily. She kept us reassured when we were out with updates too. Really lovely person.
Agnieszka is a highly recommended caregiver, distinguished by her warmth and professionalism. She effectively maintained a stable daily routine while ensuring developmental stimulation for the child. Her responsibility and proactivity meant we always felt completely at peace. Furthermore, she maintains open and detailed communication with parents
We feel incredibly happy and grateful to have Lucy as our daughter’s childminder. Her home is always exceptionally tidy, clean, and hygienic, providing a very safe environment for little ones. My daughter has enjoyed every single day with her.
Lucy is a very kind and polite lady, and she also cooks wonderful meals, you can sometimes smell how delicious the food is at pick-up time! The children absolutely adore her. We also appreciate the phonics sessions she provides, which have been really helpful for my daughter’s learning.
Overall, we couldn’t be more pleased with the care Lucy offers. We feel very lucky to have her.
Mark came over to help me look after my son.
During my pregnancy I have been dealing with hyperemesis and pelvic girdle. This means I'm not always able to be fun for my 4 year old.
We have only had Mark here once, however he was really good with my son. My son got on really well with him, he was able to keep him very entertained while I was making dinner. This made the evening easier and helped remove screen time. He was great at encouraging my son to eat his dinner as we battled the daily dinner eating challenge.
We would recommend Mark if your child requires a lot of activities, energy and engagement.
If I need someone to help me look after Charlie, I will book again 🙂

We were lucky enough to find Ati for my first son and the love, care, experiences and enrichment he got was the best start to life and it was a no brained for our second son to go there. He is now in nursery and keeps asking to go back to her setting. Ati and her team are beyond amazing, I am so grateful and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. The love, care, warmth, teaching, variety of outings, experiences, the food they cook, their flexibility, I could go on. Just amazing.
My daughter has been with Monika for the past year, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she has received. From day one, Monika has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. She creates such a positive and nurturing environment, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after.
Over the past year, my daughter has learnt so much and has really come along beautifully in her confidence, independence, and development. It’s been wonderful to see how excited she is to go each day 🥰
I’m so grateful for all the support, kindness, and hard work Monika puts in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and reliable childminder.

Aurielle has babysat for my son on several occasions, and I have always found her to be exceptionally reliable and trustworthy. She has a lovely, bubbly personality that instantly puts children at ease, and she approaches her responsibilities with genuine care and professionalism. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a dependable and warm-hearted babysitter.
Caron is an amazing childminder - she goes above and beyond to make sure the children get an all round experience - this includes going out to parks, forests, zoos, playgrounds and forest school. When at home they do arts and crafts and my son always leaves with a smile on his face. Caron is also very easy to talk to and very communicative about any issues if they arise. Couldnt recommend more

We moved to Leamington in November 2024 and, in truth, Melissa was the only available option to provide childcare for our youngest (then 1.5 year old). The situation made it a gamble we were initially nervous about, but we felt hopeful after speaking with Melissa over the phone and visiting her lovely home shortly after we moved. Within a matter of days, we realised just how lucky we were that Melissa had an available space for our little one! He took no time at all to settle in and now runs into her home and doesn't even look back to say bye to us.
Melissa's home is an idyllic setting with a large open-plan space with free access into her garden. For us, easy access to the outdoors was really important, and so this was a big plus. Her home is set in the countryside with lovely nature and animals (dog, cats, rabbits, fish and even some horses next door!). We also appreciate the great structure she provides, with varied daily activities and regular outings to local parks and groups.
It is so evident that Melissa loves her job. She is thoughtful and goes above and beyond for the children in her care. An example of this was when she learned that our little one speaks another language. Melissa went out of her way to learn key words in Gujarati, she bought a Gujarati book to read to him, and she even subscribed herself onto a course to help her work with children who speak English as a second language. This goes to show the passion that she has for child development and how much she genuinely cares for his progress. Finally, her communication is fantastic; we receive regular, detailed updates and photos that truly make us feel connected to his day.
In summary, Melissa is a phenomenal childminder (even our 4 year old asks us regularly when he can go to Melissa's!!). We feel completely confident and at ease leaving our child in her care, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and professional childcare setting.

We’ve been using the Abington Annexe setting since 2013 for both of our children, and it has been consistently excellent. The staff are great, always kind and caring. They keep the children happy, engaged, and excited to go back. Kids can play outside or stay indoors with a lot of games like the football table. My little one just learned a bit of piano there, just playing it with his friends... Very nice food too.
Kayleigh has been reliable and consistent throughout, she has been a great help to My 3 year old Daughter who now especially looks forward to when she has her days with 'Auntie Kay Kay'. were she is able to . My Daughter enjoys her time with playgroup and days out with Kayleigh. She always has many stories to tell about her 'busy day' meeting new friends and the many activities that she is always partaking in. Wether it may be her day petting animals at a farm or how much fun she had at a play centre. She is always kept occupied and this shows as her personal development has improved massively since she has been with Kayleigh.
