My son, was enrolled with Sarah Sotiriou as his childminder as of 04/26. He was one year old then. Sarah's place was clean, well presented & had good outdoor space. She also came across as professional but warm. During our initial conversation, Sarah suggested an introductory week so he would get acclimatised to the setting & this helped put me at ease. Sarah also dealt with our complicated family situation with grace. Since then Sarah's place has become a place of comfort for him. It was clear to me he was safe and well taken care of. To do so with a child a big, strong and energetic is no small feat. However, more so I valued the genuine relationships he developed with the childminders there. I don't think there is anything that could have put me more at ease than seeing how the childminders interacted with him. The relationships & warmth they had for him was clear and obvious. Sarah also made herself available regarding advice, and often went above & beyond what I expected. I felt lucky to have found them, and would recommend them to anyone with kids who is looking for a childminder.
Halima is truly the best childminder we could have asked for.
She is incredibly patient and caring, especially when my son is feeling cranky or upset. She always comforts him with kindness and never loses her patience, which gives me so much peace of mind.
Her warm hospitality, cheerful personality, and genuine love for children make it so easy to leave my son in her care. I always know he is in safe and loving hands.
And I have to mention her cooking—it is absolutely delicious! The meals she prepares are amazing, and it’s clear how much care and effort she puts into everything she does.
We feel so lucky to have found Halima, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, loving, and exceptional childminder.

In my opinion, Tareen is a very good, hardworking, flexible, and motherly teacher. Tareen has all the qualities of a motherly teacher.
When my daughter Irha first went to Tareen, she was very conscious, but she trained her very well. I always believe in her. She is so capable.
Tareen didn’t just give Irha motherly love, but she also helped her grow at all the different stages of development that children go through.
We have a lot of belief in Tareen. She is such a beautiful and reliable person for childminding. We trust her a lot. We will always choose Tareen for Irha.
In my review, she is the best childminder in Burnage, especially for grooming and transforming a child’s personality according to the new environment.
Tareen also makes the children do a lot of activities which are very new, and the children like Irha get a great opportunity to learn.
Even now, a lot of the time my weekend baby Irha misses Tareen a lot. She wants to go there.
So she is the best.
I was very anxious about leaving my little one, but as soon as we met Cherie we knew she was perfect. Cherie is amazing ! so caring and loving. My daughter loves her time with Cherie and has lots of fun. We get regular updates and photos which is a lovely. Cherie made time to reassure me over the first few weeks when my daughter was settling in and even still now if she is having a little off day. We have been with Cherie now since April 2026 and I would say nothing but outstanding. I choose Cherie due to her exceptional reviews and I would 100 % recommend her services to other parents. 😊
Anya has been looking after our 2.5y toddler for a few times and we have been happy every time. Anya has been punctual and reliable, and she gets along with our child well. She has suggested activities and has come up with fun ideas what to do. We always get nice updates about their time together and communication has been easy. We recommend Anya if you need a great babysitter!
I can’t recommend Cherie enough! She is such a kind, caring, and amazing childminder. Since my son started with her, he’s developed so much in confidence and learning, and he’s always so happy when I pick him up.
It’s so reassuring knowing my child is happy, safe, and so well cared for. I know he’s in the best hands with Cherie, and I’m so grateful for everything she does xx
I honestly couldn't ask for a better childminder for my little boy. 💛 Going back to work after maternity leave was such a heart wrenching time, and I was filled with worry about leaving him. From day one, you made that transition so much easier with your constant updates, photos, and reassurance.
Knowing he gets so much love, care and ‘snuggies’ while we're at work means the world. It's so clear how happy, safe, and settled he is with you, and that gives me complete peace of mind every single day.
Thank you for loving and caring for him like one of your own. We are so grateful for everything you do. We couldn't recommend you enough! ❤️
I cannot thank Esther enough for everything she has done for my son and our family. She is an absolutely amazing person—kind, caring, patient, understanding, and incredibly supportive.
My son started at the nursery when he was just 8 months old, and he is now 4 years old and still happily attending. Esther has been with him every step of the way. She guided him through his first milestones, from his first steps and first words to feeding and developing his confidence.
She supported us through every stage, including bottles, milk, nappies, and saying goodbye to the pacifier. She was also so patient in helping my son learn to eat independently. He was a very picky eater and only wanted to feed himself, but Esther always encouraged him with kindness and never gave up.
Whenever my son was unwell, Esther showed him so much love and care. Knowing he was in such safe and nurturing hands gave me great peace of mind.
Every year, Esther has helped us celebrate my son's birthday at the nursery. She always goes above and beyond with beautiful decorations, fun activities, and lovely photos. Seeing those special memories displayed in frames makes me emotional and so grateful.
The nursery provides wonderful creative activities every day, including learning numbers and letters, games, dancing, arts and crafts, and outdoor trips to the playground. My son absolutely loves it. He comes home every day saying, "Auntie Esther taught me this," or "Ms Esther showed me that." It makes me so happy to see how much he enjoys learning and how much he admires her.
Esther is truly exceptional. She has a natural talent for working with children, and her dedication, warmth, and passion shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Esther, for helping my son grow into such a happy, confident, and caring little boy. We are so grateful for everything you have done, and we will always appreciate the love and care you have shown our
We honestly couldn’t recommend Pamela enough! She has looked after our daughter for the last two years, since she was one, and she has become so much more than a childminder - she genuinely feels like part of our extended family.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Pamela’s and adores Pamela and her family. She is always doing something with the children - crafts, activities, trips to parks, farms and lots of other fun things. There is always something going on and she has loved every minute of it.
Pamela is so caring, warm and thoughtful, and the bond she has with our daughter is just lovely to see. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If we could give 100 stars, we would! ⭐️❤️
Our son joined Happy Families 2 months ago at 11 months old. We were quite anxious about how he would settle in as we hadn't left him much previously. However Pegah, Mehdi and their fantastic team were amazing at helping him settle and easing our nerves. I'll never forget how our baby cuddled into Pegah on the second day like he was right at home!
The setting is wonderful - comfortable, homely, safe and full of interesting and enriching things for children. In addition, the team take the children on trips so they can experience the world! All the food is homemade and I feel confident that our son is getting everything he needs.
Communication has been excellent - we receive daily photos and care log updates so we can share in what he has been up to and know about his feeds and naps.
We couldn't be happier and would wholeheartedly recommend Happy Families to anyone looking for childcare for their little one :)
I honestly cannot recommend Claire enough. My son's been with her since he was 9 months old and he's now a confident, independent 18 month old. She is so wonderful with the kids and they all adore going. He runs in now every morning without looking back! She's made me going back to work seamless and I love that I can drop him off knowing he's going to have the best day. Thank you Claire!

From the start, I knew Penny was who I wanted to look after my 1.5 year old at the time (now 3). Ciri had the best time with Penny and she made sure that Ciri always had things to do, learning, fun and adventures and lots of laughs. Ciri always asks about Penny and we still meet up ✨ I would highly recommend Penny, extremely reliable and lovely to have around. A forever friend I hope x

Emma had my son Frankie from 8 months old, and from the first day he was happy and settled. I was nervous due to his age but i didnt need to be! He had all the toys in the world to play with, including outdoor play. Now hes almost 3 and is about to leave Emma’s home. I am absolutely devastated and wish he could stay longer. He runs into Emmas every morning and tells me all about his day when i pick him up. The bond they have is special and i couldnt recommend Emma enough 💛
Wasted my time showing interest and agreeing to the post I had advertised, only for her to cancel abruptly last minute as I had asked her to send appropriate documentation before I let her into my home and be near my child. She cancelled late at night the night before after initially agreeing she was going to send the documents, but then messaged me late at night saying she didn’t want to pursue it. Most likely dodgy hence the reluctantcy.
Mags has been the best person that has come into our lives, since day one she made our wee one feel welcomed and loved, our daughter always comes home with the biggest smile and ask to go back to Mags as soon as possible.
When needed, Mags is very flexible with pick up timings, food, and what our needs are.
My daughter loves her and Mags loves her back (me and my husband love Mags too)
Ellie was our sons first childminder, he started with her when he was 1 year old. Ellie was amazing right from the start, she was so caring and attentive, and we felt she really cared about us as his parents, not just our son.
She does so much with the children from trips out to farms, soft play, baby groups, splash parks, parks, picnics etc. She also has an incredible set up at home with so many toys, every month theres a different theme (insects, beach, animals).
She's helpednour son grow and develop so much and we couldn't have asked for a better childminder. I would absolutely recommend Ellie to anyone!
Rebecca
It’s always a worrying time picking the right person to care for your child when you go back to work but I can honestly say choosing Debbie to care for our daughter was the best decision we ever made.
From day one Debbie cared for our daughter like she was part of her family, and over the 2 years that she looked after her Debbie became more than just a childminder to us, she is a friend.
We didn’t have a single day where our daughter didn’t want to be with Debbie, she absolutely loved every single day she spent with her.
If you are looking for a childminder we would highly recommend Debbie to anyone, you will not regret it.
We are so grateful for everything she has done for our daughter- she is one of a kind.
Tanya is much more than just a childminder – she is a true professional and a wonderful educator. She genuinely cares about every child and puts her heart into everything she does. She is kind, patient, caring, and always willing to help. Like everyone, she sometimes has personal commitments, but if you discuss things with her in advance, she is always understanding and does everything she can to support your family.
Our daughter, Liza, absolutely loved spending time with Tanya. She was always excited to go and often asked, “Can we go to Tanya’s today?” For us, that was the best proof of how happy, safe, and comfortable she felt in Tanya’s care.
Tanya prepared delicious homemade meals, organised fun and educational activities, and created a warm, welcoming environment where children could learn and grow. She didn’t just stay at home with the children – she regularly took them to the local library, museums, parks, and community events around Sidcup. Liza always came home excited, telling us about everything she had seen and learned. We were impressed because Tanya introduced our daughter to so many wonderful places and activities that we didn’t even know existed ourselves.
It is very rare to find someone as dedicated, caring, and professional as Tanya. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our family and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone they can completely trust with their child.
