As a busy mum of 4 children I have used a few childcare providers, I have to say Kendall is amazing. My youngest two love her. Warm, friendly, kind and gentle. The adventures and day trips are so so good. She is consistently working along side with the pre school and I working towards development goals. Counting, colours, potty training and so much more. My son loves going to Kendall and she has become a big part of his life. She is so close to the school for my daughter and the trips to the park after school are always enjoyed. She feeds them well and is always encouraging them with rewards like stickers. They really enjoy their time with Kendall. It’s so reassuring to know your children want to go to their childcare. The school holidays are easy to book and she is always doing so much with them on days out.
We used Naomi for our eldest child, who is now 4 and in nursery. We naturally chose to use her again for our youngest, who is now 13 months old. Our daughter would run in every day without looking back, and our son greets her with a big smile every morning! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again
Our daughter really struggled at nursery as she got easily overwhelmed, so we decided on the childminder route. Kerry, her experience, set up and even her own family are all incredible. She took the time to get to know her character and adapted everything to suit. We've been taking her for 2 months now and she's absolutely thriving, she absolutely loves going which makes us, as parents, feel so at ease. She gets to do some really fun activities while she's there and we get loads of happy photo updates throughout the day.
It's basically her second family, which is exactly what we hoped for! We've already signed up our 3 week old and can't wait for her to start 😁❤️

I highly recommend Sehar. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and creates a safe and welcoming environment for children. My DS is always happy and excited to go, which says a lot. Since being in their care nearly two years, I’ve noticed a big improvement in confidence and social skills. She provides a great balance of learning and fun activities, from creative play to outdoor time.
Communication is excellent, and I’m always kept updated about my child’s day. It really gives me peace of mind knowing my DS is in such capable and kind hands. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality childcare.
Naomi looked after my son from 11 months old all the way up to 5 years old! She is honestly the best thing that could have happened to me and my son, as a first time full time working mum, Naomi was able to provide the warm home from home Childcare for my son, they went on trips and that helped lower the mum guilt of going off to work every morning! She would take the best pictures to show all the fun they were having and I instantly felt comfortable that he was in the best hands.
I would recommend Naomi to everyone looking for a childminder! Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better service.
Tina has been amazing!
As a first time mum, I didn't know whether to do nursery or childminders. I'm so glad I choose childminding and thrilled to have Tina.
Tina made the settling in and first few weeks so easy! My daughter was 11 months when I first left her with Tina. Now, less than 2months later, she gets so excited when I open Tina's front door. Watching her interact, laugh and smile with Tina brings me so much comfort.
Tina is amazing and provides a welcoming and homely environment. Everyday the kids are out and about doing something - whether library, park or playgroups! My daughter confidence levels have grown so much already.
Tina has even taken them to the farm and suggested a beach trip!
She has been flexible and able to help out when I needed an extra day childminding due to a work commitment - thank you!
We truly couldn't be happier with Tina & her care of our daughter.
Highly, highly, highly recommend!!
“Teachers like them truly make a difference. Their way of teaching doesn’t impose, it inspires. They don’t just help students learn quickly—they build confidence, motivation, and a real belief in themselves. The impact this has had on my son has been truly remarkable. He is so happy with you, and as a parent, that means everything. Thank you for your dedication.”
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kelley. Our daughter started with her when she was just one year old, and from the very beginning Kelley made what could have been a really daunting transition feel easy and reassuring.
Kelley provides such a warm, safe and welcoming environment. It genuinely feels like a home-from-home, and you can see how much care and thought she puts into everything she does. Our daughter settled in so quickly and now absolutely loves going - which says everything. There are no tears at drop-off, just excitement to get inside and see Kelley and her friends.
The range of activities is fantastic. From arts and crafts to music, playtime and regular outings including the park, every day is varied and engaging. It is clear that Kelley focuses not just on keeping children entertained, but on supporting their development, confidence and social skills. We have seen such a positive difference in our daughter since starting. she has grown in confidence, communication and independence.
Communication from Kelley is excellent. The regular updates about meals, naps and daily activities are so reassuring, especially in the early days, and it is lovely to see photos of what they have been up to. Kelley is always approachable, happy to give advice and incredibly supportive.
Her experience really shows. She is calm, patient, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about childcare. You always feel that your child is in very safe and capable hands.
We honestly could not recommend Kelley more highly. She is everything you would want in a childminder and more.
Miss Minna has been an incredible private tutor for my son, who has learning difficulties. From the very beginning, she showed great patience, understanding, and dedication to supporting his learning needs.
What makes Miss Minna truly special is the way she adapts her teaching to suit my son’s pace and learning style. She creates a calm, encouraging environment that helps him feel confident and motivated.
My son genuinely enjoys her lessons and always looks forward to their sessions. It’s wonderful to see how comfortable he feels with her and how much his confidence in learning has grown. I truly appreciate her commitment and the positive impact she has had on his progress.
Such a warm, lovely and caring environment. I feel completely comfortable leaving my son, I've also seen so much improvement in my son's confidence and communication development. Highly recommend Ladybird childcare
Chloe at CFH Childcare has been absolutely wonderful for our little boy. She took great care to help him settle in with plenty of stay‑and‑play sessions, and we felt instantly at ease in her warm, welcoming setting.
He enjoys a wide range of activities every day — from messy play and small‑world setups to seasonal, age‑appropriate learning and regular outings. Since starting, he’s grown so much in confidence, speech, social skills, and curiosity.
Chloe provides a safe, nurturing environment where children are truly cared for. We’re kept well‑informed throughout the day, and the evening handovers are always thorough. Our child loves the home‑cooked meals and has even become more adventurous with food.
The bond between Chloe and our little boy is clear, and he’s excited to go every morning. We love the photos and updates she sends — it’s lovely to see what he’s been up to.
We highly recommend CFH Childcare for anyone looking for a caring, engaging, and thoughtful childminder.

Kerreyanne and her team are one of a kind. Before we met I was so anxious about leaving my daughter but from the minute we walked through that door my daughter felt safe it was like a home from home! My son has always struggled with his eating kerreyane and the team have had so much patience with my son that he now eats full meals!
We are so happy with the care our children receive. They are always happy, safe, and well settled, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. The communication is excellent – we’re always kept up to date with how the children are doing and what they’ve been up to, when they’ve been changed it really helps to settle that mum guilt!
What really stands out is how much effort goes into making the setting fun and special for the children. Different events and celebrations are organised throughout the year, which the children absolutely love. Things like hiring bouncy castles and even ice cream vans make it really exciting and create lovely memories for them.
It’s clear that a lot of care, thought, and effort goes into creating such a positive environment. We’re really grateful and would highly recommend the setting to other parents. We would be truly lost without someone like kerreyanne thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for our children!
We’ve been with kerreyanne 5 years now and there is none one else I would rather choose! Thank you again x
Our daughter started with Claire at 18 months old. Initially, we were quite worried, as she had only ever been cared for by family and was going through a very clingy phase. However, she quickly warmed to Claire and within just two weeks she was cheering at the sight of her house in the mornings. Three months in, she walks in as if it’s her own home—always happy to be there and still greeting us with the same big smile at pick-up time.
Receiving photos of our daughter enjoying playgroups, walks, and trips to the park (when the weather allows!) really makes our day.
As an anxious first-time mum, it’s naturally difficult leaving your baby with someone new, but I have never once felt worried with Claire. She always keeps us informed if our daughter isn’t quite herself or if there’s anything that needs our attention—it really feels like having a third parent supporting her.
Claire’s home is always very clean and welcoming, and it’s perfectly set up for the children.
I would highly recommend Claire, and if our family expands in the future, we would absolutely go back to her again.
Our son started with Bernadette when he was 9 months old. He loves going to her house and looks forward to seeing her warm welcome every morning. He is absolutely thriving under the caring and nurturing support Bernadette provides. He loves interacting with the other children, they are always so busy doing lots of different activities like arts and crafts, singing, stories, dancing, baking and going to the park. We love our daily updates from Bernadette and photos and videos of what he’s been up to in the day! We feel very lucky to have found such a great childminder for our son!
Freya was great from the start!! From initial messaging to discuss my needs in more depth, to meeting Freya and her providing all documents and answers to any questions I had. Then meeting my children to introduce them to support their transitional needs. Freya has been thoroughly professional and lovely throughout. My boys loved her and although my circumstances changed last minute, Freya has remained lovely and totally understanding. On top of this she is a really lovely, kind personality who I am grateful to have met. Will definitely book her again !!x
Francesca has been an absolutely amazing nanny for our family. She has been incredible with my young son for several years and since the arrival of my newborn baby she has continued to be just as caring patient and supportive.
She is naturally wonderful with children. She is calm, kind and very nurturing. My son absolutely adores her and is always so happy and comfortable in her care which gives me complete peace of mind. Francesca is also very respectful of our routines and always makes sure the children stick to them, which has been so important especially with a newborn.
She consistently goes above and beyond to help in any way she can and truly treats the children with so much love and care. She is reliable, trustworthy and someone I feel completely confident leaving my children with and become a very close part our family.
Having someone you can fully trust with your children is priceless and Francesca has been exactly that for our family. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, responsible and dedicated nanny or babysitter.
