We had a wonderful experience with [Name] as our nanny and can't recommend her highly enough. She was absolutely brilliant with our son — warm, patient, and genuinely engaged with him in a way that made him light up whenever she arrived. Beyond that, she was a pleasure to have in our home: kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to.
She's also impressively organised and reliably punctual, which took a huge weight off our shoulders as working parents. And her cooking deserves a special mention — she put together healthy, tasty meals that our son actually ate (no small feat).
Any family would be lucky to have her. We'll miss having her around.

We had such a positive experience meeting Annette and visiting her setting. From our first interactions, communication was excellent and after reading so many glowing reviews, we felt optimistic going in but meeting her exceeded our expectations.
Annette is warm, kind, and incredibly experienced. What stood out most was how naturally aligned we felt not only in her approach to childcare, but also in her general approach and outlook. This gave us real confidence that our son would be cared for in a way that truly reflects what matters to us as a family.
This is a big step for any parent and something I had been feeling quite anxious about but after meeting Annette we felt genuinely reassured and at ease. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, trustworthy, and thoughtful environment for their child.
Sarah is an outstanding childminder with “the magic touch”. You may as well call her the baby whisperer! Our daughter started with Sarah when she was just over 8 months young and she has been thriving in so many ways. Sarah has helped so much with the weaning process which we are very grateful for.
What’s wonderful is Sarah’s communication with us as parents and how she picks up on every single little detail and new behaviours our little one picks up. After a disappointing experience with someone else, I was very reluctant to let anyone have my daughter. I’m so glad we went ahead with Sarah!! If you want a true professional who invests in your child’s wellbeing, look no further.
Daniela has been with us for two and a half years taking care of now my almost 3 and 5 years old. She's so caring and genuine and amazing with the kids, and I've always been fascinated by how organised, smart, reliable, clear in her communication and pro-active she was. She proactively organises all activities for the kids, thinks about what nutritious food to make, and always keeps the place clean and tidy after her. We are extremely sad to see her leave our family, but we are moving to part time after school nanny search as both kids will be in school now. She's full of love and patience.
She's a core part of our family, we love her so much and we will have to find ways to keep in touch and keep her around us somehow :)
I would hire her over and over again!
Really positive experience so far. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about the kids. It feels safe, welcoming, and well organised. I feel confident leaving my child here.
M worked for us for over forty years over 2 years from 2023 to 2025 looking after my 4 and 6 year old. She was truly part of our family. She thought independently on how to entertain and nuture the children. Treated us, our house like it were her own and made the most incredible food for all. My children have been instilled with respect and manners and this is down to M. Any family that she graces are very lucky. Very happy to provide further references.
Hannah has been a wonderful support to our family, and we’re so grateful for all the help she has given us over time. She stepped in whenever we needed her, and it was always such a relief knowing our child was in such caring and capable hands.
She is incredibly kind and warm, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. Hannah always made sure they were engaged in a variety of activities that supported their development, while also ensuring they spent plenty of time outdoors getting fresh air.
We truly appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the nurturing environment she provides. Hannah has been a fantastic help to us, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.

Kendra babysat for us at a family wedding and was absolutely brilliant. She looked after a four year old and two one-year olds and kept them entertained and looked after throughout the day. Her communication before and on the day was excellent too. We highly recommend Kendra.
Sarah has been an incredible childminder for our son, and we feel very lucky to have found her. Our son started with Sarah at the age of 2, at a time when he didn’t speak English, and we were naturally quite anxious. From the very beginning, Sarah was warm, patient, kind, and incredibly understanding. She made both us and our son feel comfortable and supported right away.
Over the time he was with her, Sarah provided a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment where he could grow in confidence. She was always flexible and accommodating to our needs, which made a huge difference to our family. Sarah planned a wide range of engaging activities that really supported our son’s learning and development, and it was amazing to see how much he progressed.
One thing we especially appreciated was how she kept us informed every day. We always knew how our son’s day had gone, which gave us great peace of mind.
Sarah looked after our son for over a year, and we are truly grateful for the care and dedication she showed. She has had such a positive impact on his early development. We will miss her greatly and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jen came to us in a challenging time, initially to give us respite once a month but when I took ill before Christmas she just stepped up to help. My grandchildren adore her and love going to spend time with Jen and her family. Jen has a gentle quietness approach with our grandchildren with clear boundaries on behaviour that they needed and she has worked with us which has significantly impacted on our grandchildren's behaviour. I don't know where we would be without her, shes just amazing!
She has been an absolutely exceptional nanny for our family and truly is a real-life Mary Poppins. She is kind, caring, fun, organised, and incredibly professional, bringing warmth, energy, and calm into our home every day. She has built a wonderful relationship with the children, who adore her, and she always creates a happy, structured, and nurturing environment for them. What has stood out most is how respectful she has been of us as parents, always following our routines, wishes, and approach with complete professionalism and care. We trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We could not recommend her more highly — a genuine 5-star nanny in every sense.
Nanditha has taken care of my two-year-old daughter five times since the beginning of the year. She is flexible, punctual, and 100% reliable.
Nanditha is caring and patient. She plays with my daughter, takes her outside, and feeds her. My daughter has separation anxiety, but Nanditha's calm and attentive approach has gained her trust.
I'm very happy to recommend Nanditha as a babysitter.
Jen is a brilliant childminder. My little one absolutely loves going to Bedford Holiday Club. Her home is a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of activities for the children to do. Her days out are packed full of fun and learning. Highly recommended!
We booked Tayan at fairly short notice to provide childcare while we were both in meetings during the daytime. She was punctual on the day, with great communication prior to her arrival including a phone call a few days before. She looked after our 6-month-old beautifully, adapting flexibly to his needs. She also coped well with our excitable dog and the set of blinds which had fallen down! Definitely recommend Tayan for future babysitting roles.
Annie
I would not recommend. I was initially told she was Ofsted registered, but later she said she wasn’t. She agreed to 3 days, reduced it to 2 after a week, then cancelled the day before I was due to start work, saying she had to go to Spain. Very last-minute and unreliable.
I just want to say how pleased I am with Laissa as a childminder! My kids spent the night with her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were extremely safe and had an amazing time. They came back with smiles on their faces, and I felt totally reassured. Laissa’s care and attention were excellent, and I’ll definitely be using her again!
Gloria

You do need to being your own snacks but linda will always provide snacks etc if needed, Thank you so much again! All the best from, Alishia & Leon.

Esra has been watching our son since he was 20 months old, he’s now 25 months. They formed an instant connection and bond that I hadn’t seen with other carers we’ve had in our home. He gets very excited when we tell him that Esra is coming over and he asks about her frequently between visits.
She introduces new ways to play and creative projects that I wouldn’t think of. She teaches our son new things all the time. She also gets him to eat very well and puts together thoughtful plates for his meals.
Esra is very observant and gives great notes before she leaves each time. She’s pleasant, always on time, good natured and genuinely loves being with children.
Gemma has been an absolutely outstanding childminder for my two boys. From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where they both felt happy, secure, and excited to spend time. Her natural kindness, patience, and genuine care for children shine through in everything she does.
She is incredibly reliable, professional, and organised, always keeping us updated and making sure the boys’ needs are met. Gemma plans fun, engaging activities that have helped their confidence, social skills, and development, while also making every day enjoyable and stimulating.
What stands out most is the loving bond she has built with both of my boys. They are always happy to see her and come home full of stories about their day. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing they are in such capable and caring hands whilst I have to work.
I would highly recommend Gemma to any family looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and truly exceptional childminder.
