Damla looked after my 20-month-old son for around four weeks and we had a really positive experience with her. She was warm, friendly and very engaging, always playing with him, talking to him and keeping him entertained. He has struggled to warm up to nannies in the past, but he quickly became very comfortable with Damla and really loved spending time with her. I would happily recommend her to other families.
Sapphire has been our nanny for the past 5 years. She started with us as a maternity nurse and then became our nanny for our little girl. She stayed with us for 5 years until our daughter started school. I cannot recommend Sapphire more. She is extremely reliable, she is exceptionally good with children and is both loving but firm. Our daughter both adores and respects her. She treads the line perfectly between being a kind and fun nanny whilst still ensuring manners and discipline. She was easy to have in the home and made all our daughters meals to have both fresh and frozen (homemade and delicious). She never turned up late, she would always bend over backwards to help us wherever she could and she is an excellent communicator. She helped with cooking , laundry, tidying children's areas and planned fun activity planned weeks. She always planned activities which were relevant to our child and beneficial for her. She also always consulted us to ensure we were happy with whatever she had planned. ( She also has a safe good size car and takes safety in all aspects of her care seriously which was very reassuring) Sapphire is an exceptional nanny- you will not find better.

We have been so happy with our childminder Danielle and the care she has provided for our son Dominic. She has been looking after him since he was just 9 months old, and for the past year and a half she has been absolutely wonderful.
She is caring, patient and genuinely loves what she does. Our son has always been happy and comfortable in her care, and it has been such a relief knowing he is in a safe, loving and nurturing environment. She has supported his development and helped him grow in confidence, while always keeping us updated and involved.
We are so grateful for everything she has done for him over the past year and a half. We would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone caring, trustworthy and dedicated to looking after their child.
Marisa looked after both of my feral boys from 2022 until summer 2026 (my eldest from 1 year and my youngest from when he was 10 months). They loved their time with Marisa so much and I felt so comfortable leaving them there every day. The boys loved all of the animals and the amazing garden and most especially loved Marisa's family who are just as welcoming as Marisa. Thank you for having them for their most important years xxx

Mary is truly special. She has played an integral part in nurturing and supporting our two children, and we feel so lucky to have found her.
From the very beginning, we always felt that our children were genuinely cared for, understood and loved. Mary has created such a warm, happy and welcoming environment, and we’ve always had complete trust in her care. She puts so much thought into planning new, engaging and exciting activities for the children, while also making sure there are familiar favourites that they know and love. The time, effort and care she puts into creating experiences that are both fun and meaningful for the children is amazing.
She has played such an important role in helping our children develop their social skills and learn important values such as kindness, sharing, patience and consideration for others. These things have always been taught naturally through their everyday experiences with her, and she has had such a positive influence on their development. Our children have developed wonderful relationships with Mary, and they were always so happy and comfortable in her care.
Mary has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but is always keen to continue learning and keeping up to date with new developments in childcare. Her commitment to continually learning and improving reflects how much she cares about providing the very best care and support for the children. She is also extremely reliable and communicative.
It’s been incredibly hard to say goodbye after so many years. Mary has become part of our family, and we will always be hugely grateful for everything she has done for us.
We would recommend Mary without hesitation to any family looking for someone who will care for their children as if they were her own. She really is one in a million.
My son loved going to Demmykitties! The setting was great fun, with many different activities like playdough, colouring with paint, water play etc. They also went to museums and playgrounds so there were new things everyday. Tayo also helped us a lot with potty training and gave us updates about his going to the potty and all the activities they did on a daily basis. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful experience with Amarrah for a family wedding. She was friendly, professional, reliable, and fantastic with the my 2 year old. She immediately put everyone at ease and was attentive, caring, and engaging throughout the event. It was such a relief knowing that my child was in such capable hands, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy the occasion. We would happily use her again and highly recommend her!
We feel incredibly lucky that our daughter spent such an important part of her early years with Frances and her wonderful team.
She was with Frances from the age of 1 to 3, and throughout those two years she was always so happy, loved and well cared for. The team are truly amazing warm, kind and they form such lovely bonds with the children.
We especially loved how much the children get to experience, with regular trips and activities outside the setting, giving them so many opportunities to explore, learn and have fun.
Watching her grow into the happy, confident little girl she is today has been so special, and we are incredibly grateful to Frances and the whole team for being such an important part of her early years.
We couldn't recommend them highly enough. ❤️
My daughter has been going to bushra for a good while now and is always happy to go in. She has even cried when leaving she’s having that much fun! Bushra has great communication and is easy to speak too and i trust her with my daughter. My daughter has lots of fun playing with different educational or sensory toys and doing activities. The meals are halal, fresh and nutritious and I feel at ease sending her in for childcare and can work with no worries.
Marilu has been amazing at looking after my 1 year old over the summer before she started nursery. I knew from the first time I met her that she would be a great match for our family. She has years of experience, is incredibly friendly and bubbly, and is also very creative and engaging with children. My daughter loved her from day one and I always felt completely comfortable leaving her in Marilu’s care.
Our son was with Gisele at the Tick Tock Childminders for 2 1/2 years, and we were extremely happy with our experience - and most importantly, so was our son. Gisele's house is a home away from home and we love that his interests are nurtured by Gisele and the team. But equally important to us as parents is knowing that each day he is introduced to a wide breadth of games, creative tasks, and learning activities that broaden his horizons; we always look forward to picking him up and being shown an exciting new creative project that he's made and learning what he has been up to during the day.
Communication with Gisele and the team is always easy and clear, and any questions we may have are always answered on the day. It's been a real joy watching our son become an increasingly independent little person. As well as the strong bonds that he has with Gisele and the team, he has forged a great many friendships with the other children who attend Tick Tock Childminders, which is a testament to the caring environment where importance is placed on helping the children build positive relationships with one another.

We had a really lovely experience with Claudia. She was professional, punctual and reliable, and made us feel comfortable and reassured from the very beginning. She was kind and caring with our daughter, who absolutely loved spending time with her. We felt very comfortable knowing our daughter was in such good hands. Claudia was a pleasure to have, and we would happily recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy babysitter.
Martina is an amazing nanny. She is incredibly creative, full of interesting ideas and schemes that kept my little boys completely entranced when they were small and then as they grew she adapted to their changing interests and ideas. They still love her and stay connected even though they are 17 and 19 - from a nanny she became a very good friend to them. Martina looked after my sons before they started school, my youngest from 4 months old and then would pick them both up from school, chatting to them, playing and making them their dinner. We all love her. She is intelligent, curious, thoughtful and fun. We can't recommend her highly enough.
Brenda has been an incredible childminder and has supported both my son and me above and beyond anything I could have expected.
My son has been with Brenda since he was just seven months old, and he has now started Reception. To him, she is not simply his childminder — she is “Auntie Brenda” — which says so much about the bond, trust and affection that have developed over the years.
Looking at how confidently and happily he has made the transition into school, I can really see the impact of the time, care and effort Brenda has invested in him.
She has done so much more than simply care for him. She has consistently supported his learning and development, encouraged his curiosity and helped prepare him exceptionally well for starting school. In fact, he has entered Reception not only ready for school, but in many areas already exceeding expectations. His school has recognised this too, to the point that the Headteacher has contacted me to discuss how we can continue to support and develop him outside of school.
As a working parent, having someone I could trust with my child from such a young age has been invaluable. Brenda has supported us in ways that have often gone far beyond what I would normally expect from a childminder, and I will always be grateful for the role she has played in my son’s early years.
I would recommend Auntie Brenda wholeheartedly to any parent looking for someone who will genuinely care about their child’s wellbeing, development and future. she definitely gets more than five stars.

Wonderful with Hugo
Talia looked after my 6-year-old son last week and she was absolutely brilliant with him. He took to her straight away, really enjoyed spending time with her and was very happy and comfortable in her care. Talia was friendly, reliable and gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will definitely be asking her to look after my son again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A big thank you to Anastasi for being so professional and wonderful with my children. She quickly engaged with them, made them feel comfortable, and they absolutely loved her. They kept talking about her afterwards! It was lovely to see how quickly she connected with them. We really appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and friendly approach. Highly recommended!
Sharon has been helping me take care of my daughter since she was 6 months old, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her.
For more than two years, she has curated a rich, thoughtful schedule that has allowed my daughter to live her absolute best "kiddy life." It has been a wonderful whirlwind of music groups, play cafés, visits to the botanical garden, galleries, museums, farm visits, and endless picnics.
Sharon gives her a bespoke, enriching experience where she feels cherished and thoroughly engaged every single day.
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Sharon arrives promptly at 9:00 am to take Eve on scheduled adventures, returning her home at 4:00 pm.
Throughout their days, she seamlessly manages mealtimes and playtimes while planning unique activities. I am always kept in the loop with regular photo updates and wonderful artwork brought home at the end of the day.
As a single parent, Sharon has become such an integral part of our little family that I would have happily kept her with us until my daughter turned eighteen! ☺️..... Thanks to Sharon's dedication, patience, and nurture, Eve has blossomed into a confident little lady with such a calm temperament.
Sharon is worth every single penny and truly one in a million. Words are simply not enough to capture how much she means to us..... Any family fortunate enough to welcome her into their child’s life will be exceptionally lucky.
