My little one started with Umbreen a few months ago at just 9 months old, and we’ve had a wonderful experience so far. She is always happy, settled, and very well looked after in Umbreen’s care.
Umbreen is caring, nurturing, and attentive, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. She always keeps us updated throughout the day, which gives great peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind and trustworthy to care for my child.
My 2 girls have been with kerry 3 days a week for almost a year now and they absolutely love her. Her communication and care is perfect. They both took a couple of days to settle in but now me and my husband hardly get a goodbye they are so comfortable they just walk in lol. Her apartment is lovely, clean and tidy. She has all the facilities and toys they could need/ want. I was so worried about returning to work but its been such a relief just not having to worry they are unhappy being away from me! They regularly bring home lovely paintings and drawings and she is so supportive with potty training and just teaching in general. My girls love learning new words, numbers and colours. I really cant keep up with how fast they learning new things. All round kerry is just fantastic and kind and so flexible. 👏 we all love and are super grateful for you kerry! 💗
Rukhsana has been looking after my 10 month old baby for 2 months now on a weekly basis. I could not recommend her more highly, she is just excellent! My son is delighted when she walks through the door - a testament to her warm, playful, and kind care giving. As an anxious first time parent she has been a lifesaver. She has been nothing but experienced, professional, and very reliable. Any family would be luck to have her.
My little boy started with little giggles at the end of March and it is now like they are and have always been part of his family !
I was so nervous about returning to work and leaving him but Terri & the team have been nothing but amazing, constant pictures and reassurance he is having the best day and I can tell he really is loved there 🥹
I was having massive issues with night time sleeping and I asked to implement a strong routine which little giggles were so happy to accommodate and didn’t in the slightest make me feel like any sort of inconvenience! They always do everything you ask routine wise & look after the littles one like they would one of their own. Really couldn’t recommend enough if you’re looking for a home from home setting with so much love and happiness to offer. Thankyou all so much for all you’re doing for my little man 🤍
Nicola has played an important part in looking after my son for nearly two years now and has earned my trust.
I am absolutely grateful to have someone I trust look after my son during school hours. I receive regular updates and communication which keeps me informed about daily activities, and wellbeing.
Nicola certainly is a great childminder and someone we love working with.
We were Sara’s first family in her capacity as a Maternity Nurse. She grew into her role looking after
our newborn son. Our role was challenging and Sara was thrown into the deep end - Not only was our
son going through a fussy growth spurt, he didn’t have a solid sleep-feed routine and had
laryngomalacia, impacting his breathing; she also had to deal with two severely sleep-deprived first
time parents who were anxious. But she took the challenge head-on, with a calm and gentle approach,
which helped reduce the tense energy that was previously in the house.
Over the course of the term, Sara translated her formal medical training to fit our situation well. She
became unphased to our son’s intense cries and was also able to distinguish between the different
types of crying. Knowing the importance of sleep, she safeguarded his naps with selfless contact
napping, multiple times a day, in order to prevent overtiredness. I will always remember how she
helped our baby get over the dreaded nappy change routine and how he now always smiles at her
proudly when we would change him, reducing the stress associated with that task.
Always punctual and polite, her professionalism was boosted by her genuine interest in the best
outcomes for our son. Even when new issues arose, like drool rash, we felt more capable of coming up
with solutions to solve them. We cannot overestimate Sara’s ability to constantly evolve and adapt to
new situations. It is one of her core strengths. Our role was not an easy one, but she was able to handle
each problem effectively. We are more than happy to recommend Sara to anyone else looking for a
reliable and passionate individual, able to handle tough situations.
It is the combination of her positive easy-going personality, light-hearted energy as well as the pride
she takes in her work, that allows her to excel at the full range of tasks big and small, complex and
simple. Crucially, her unique approach helps her see the best in things and people, providing her with
the grit, patience and endurance that is so vital when interacting with babies and struggling adults
alike.
Sara, thank you for loving our boy. His social smiling was made brighter, thanks to your help and sincere
affection. Despite his slightly shaky start, his development was put on the right track, which has
improved his health and has given back our confidence as parents. We wish you all the best in your
career and we feel content knowing good karma will follow you wherever you go. Thank you.

Jaye came to babysit my children and she was absolutely amazing. As a mum of special needs children it is important for me to have someone who can support them properly and who understands their needs. Jaye was incredible with this and my children loved her. She spent time with them and played games with them. Both of my children have complex needs and Jaye was amazing at adapting her support to their individual needs and with regular updates from Jaye I was able to relax whilst they were in her care.
Sri looked after my 5 year old son who has autism and is non verbal. I had never left my son with a babysitter before, i knew instantly on meeting Sri that i had found the perfect person for him. She is so kind, and patient and immediately so likeable that i was able to go out for the first time. I would trust her absolutely and am very glad to have found her, i recommend her to anyone.
Had the pleasure of working with Kellie this past weekend for a cousin’s wedding. It was our first time leaving our 3 month old in the care of someone other than grandparents and Kellie made us feel so at ease. She was incredibly kind and professional, and she bonded with our little Evie right away. When I came to check in on them, she had Evie smiling and giggling away (a mother’s dream). Kellie also provided a variety of sensory play activities for the wedding day which our little one absolutely loved!! At the end of each night, Kellie gave a summary of the events of the day, including naps, nappy changes, feeds, etc. We did a mixture of bottles and breastfeeding over the day, and Kellie was very flexible with whatever was needed in the moment in terms of feeding requests. If you’re looking for any child care services, would highly recommend Kellie!
Our daughter has been with Maisie for the last 6 months and we truly could not have hoped for a more nurturing, thoughtful start for her.
Our daughter settled with Maisie instantly, which says so much about the warm and welcoming environment she creates. Her setting is beautifully planned out with meaningful activities every day, and she clearly puts a huge amount of thought into the resources, play opportunities and overall atmosphere for the children. The children also go out daily on lovely outings to places such as Little Farmers and Ocean Adventurers, which our daughter has absolutely loved.
Maisie communicates so well throughout the day and sends daily photographs and updates, which has always been so reassuring and special to receive. She provides wonderful healthy, varied meals and our daughter has eaten so many lovely foods while with her.
What has stood out most to us is how well Maisie reads each child individually. She always seems to know when our daughter needs extra cuddles and reassurance, or when to encourage her independence and creativity instead. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds developmentally during her time there.
Maisie has also been an incredibly kind and supportive person to us as a family during some difficult periods, and we will always be grateful for the care, warmth and thoughtfulness she showed us all.
We are so sad to be leaving and will miss her hugely. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a nurturing, intentional and child-centred environment for their little one.
My son had a great time with Afia, she helped with his crawling, took him to the park to play and walks in the buggy. Afia would also send pictures and give me an update of everything that they had done that day. My Son was always happy when I dropped him off and picked him up. The only reason I couldn't continue with Afia was due to the location of my work and home not being the most convenient. I would highly recommend Afia.
My daughter has been with Linda for a long time, she loves going there, she always has something to do, always brings home things she's made or drawn. Daughter will be going to Secondary school and we will both miss Linda.
As a parent Linda is always flexible, accommodating and welcoming
We've used a number of childcare providers over the years and Amira really stands out, her years of experience really show, always going above and beyond, being a second mum to my children whilst vastly expanding their experiences and education. Incredibly nurturing and knowledgeable. Exemplary standards, we will all truly miss her.
I have been using GMB Childminder for several months now, and I am very happy with her services. She consistently keeps me updated regarding my child's collection and drop-off times. She has also been very accommodating of my flexible work schedule, which has been extremely helpful. I appreciate her reliability, communication, and support.
We really love Little Deers Nutley Preschool. The staff are so amazing and lovely with the kids. One of our favourite things is how often they take the children out into the local forest and in and amongst the community. Our daughter comes home so excited and even teaches us the new walking routes she learned! It’s just a really wonderful place that makes the kids feel like a true part of the neighborhood. Highly recommended.
My daughter has been with Nicola for the past 2–3 months, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. I was extremely apprehensive about placing her in childcare, as she had never settled well in previous settings. However, from the moment I met Nicola and Raj, I knew my little girl would be happy and well cared for.
Nicola has such a caring and nurturing nature and instantly put me at ease. I absolutely love the daily updates, especially the lovely little photos showing what my little girl has been up to throughout the day. We also receive a detailed daily information sheet, which gives a great breakdown of her day and is so reassuring as a parent.
When I collect Ottilie and Nicola opens the door, she excitedly screams, “Mum, I’ve had the best day ever!” and that says everything to me. I prefer to send packed food with my daughter, so I know her time with Nicola is filled purely with fun, care, laughter, and happiness.
I truly couldn’t recommend Nicola highly enough.
