Finding Justina was like finding a diamond! Time was running out to find a suitable setting, and Justina went above and beyond to not only help me, but provide the best care possible for my little girl. She's been attending since September, and she comes back absolutely buzzing with excitement having enjoyed such a good day with Justina and her family. Justina involves all the children in age appropriate activities that are not only entertaining, but educational and developmentally useful. I was nervous for my daughter starting, like any of us would be, but Justina shut down those fears almost immediately and my daughter's reaction to her, the setting and the other children shows me I made the best possible decision. I trust her to care about the children in her care like they are her own, and she does! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
I have known Mia for 6 years and have had the pleasure of her looking after all 3 of my children at a different setting since they were babies. She is very experienced and genuine and I have always trusted her whole heartedly.
I met Hollie 2 years ago at the same setting and had the pleasure of her caring for my younger 2 children. She is very caring and competent and my children were very fond of her.
Cathy looked after my baby for a few hours a week during my maternity leave and she did a fantastic job! She was very reliable and punctual, and able to be flexible around what we needed. Communication was always excellent, including sending updates and pictures about what my daughter was up to whilst looking after her. Cathy was excellent at keeping my daughter entertained, including taking her out to the playground and to see the ducks. Cathy is very friendly and approachable and always made us feel at ease when she was here. I would absolutely recommend Cathy to anyone looking for flexible childcare - thank you Cathy!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Justina. Our son started with her at just 9 months old, and over the past year she has become such a special and important part of his life. He has built such a lovely bond with her and her family, and it has been wonderful to watch.
Justina provides the most wonderful home-from-home environment, where he feels safe, loved, confident and truly at home. Her approach to learning and development is something we particularly value. She takes the time to observe each child, understand their individual interests and developmental needs, and thoughtfully create opportunities for them to learn and explore through play.
It is so lovely to see how much he has grown and developed in her care. She has played such a huge part in building his confidence, nurturing his curiosity and helping him discover the world around him.
As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is somewhere they are genuinely happy, loved and thriving. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our little boy, and we are so grateful for everything Justina does. ❤️
My daughter started with Fatima when she was just five months old, and she has received such wonderful care from the very beginning. They have always followed her routine at home, which gave me a peace of mind. Now, at 19 months, she is thriving so much and loves going there.
Her development since she's been there has been very rapid. She already recognises many phonics sounds, communicates, knows numbers from 1-10 and animals, and knows how to hold a pencil correctly and is learning how to trace lines already. This is all thanks to the kind, patient and gentle guidance she receives from Fatima.
My daughter runs through the door with a huge smile every time she arrives at the setting. We receive regular updates throughout the day, and I know she is always given fresh, home cooked food. I feel like she's home away from home, and we couldn’t wish for better care. Bless her.
Beth cares for my four-year-old son, who has additional needs. She is reliable, caring and approachable, and takes a proactive approach to supporting him. My son is non-verbal and has limited communication, and Beth makes every effort to engage with him, adapting her approach to suit his individual needs.
She maintains good standards of hygiene and personal care, which I greatly value, and is actively developing her skills and knowledge to better support him. Her warm and attentive manner gives me confidence that my son is well cared for.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a wonderful childminder care for our daughter from the age of 9 months until she turned 3. Throughout this time, Anna provided a warm, nurturing and enriching environment where our daughter was encouraged to explore, learn, develop new skills and build her confidence.
Every day brought new opportunities to learn and experience something different, from library trips, summer days out and baking during winter, everyday was a new adventure filled with various teachable moments and it was clear how much thought and care went into creating engaging activities and experiences for the children. Anna played a huge role in our daughter’s developmental growth, helping her become more independent and confident by fostering her curiosity and providing her with activities that were suitable for her growth and development at each point in time.
It has been amazing to see how much our daughter has grown during her time with Anna, not only academically and developmentally but also socially and emotionally. We are so grateful for the love, patience, care and dedication that Anna has shown our daughter over the years. She has been such an important part of her early childhood, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
We’ve had a really positive experience with Haris, who has been supporting our daughter with her learning.
Haris is professional, patient and approachable, and has a lovely way of engaging with children. The lessons are well structured while still being enjoyable, which helps keep our daughter interested and motivated.
What I particularly appreciate is the individual attention and the effort Haris puts into understanding where additional support is needed, rather than simply following a fixed approach.
Communication has also been excellent, and it’s reassuring to know our daughter’s learning is in good hands.
We’re very happy with the support so far and would happily recommend Haris to other parents looking for a reliable, caring and dedicated tutor.
Luiyana had been a blessing to me and my child for the past 3 1/2 years now.
She has a genuine love for children, which I feel is essential when choosing a childcare provider. I needed someone who would care for my child and enjoy doing it rather than (potentially) doing the basics just because they are being paid. She has always consistently gone above and beyond my expectations. (She send me video recordings of my baby’s first steps).
When my child was too young to give feedback that I'd made the right choice for her care (she was much less than 12 months old when Luiyana started with her), she would jump from my arms, into Luyiana's welcoming arms. There had never been a question in my mind that she enjoyed the times spent with Luiyana. Some parents might have been intimidated by this behaviour, but it warmed my heart that my baby was being loved when I needed to be at work.
We have now found out that my child is SEN, and Luiyana has been wonderful, supportive and understanding of her needs for several years. They have a close bond and mutual understanding.
My child is now able to communicate effectively in English and Spanish which is also down to the one to one care and attention she has received from Luiyana (who speaks in both languages).
My child is very academic for her age. She started reading at 2 years old. I give much credit to Luiyana’s continuous caring, supportive and understanding nature.
Other than Luiyana, I trust no one else 100%, (other than family) with the care of my child.
So if you're considering a local child care provider, I would only suggest you meet Luiyana before making your decision.

We couldn’t recommend Tiny Town Tots enough! They cared for our daughter from 10 months - 20 months old where she grew so much in confidence and personality. We always had complete trust in Sharon and her two daughters, and were so happy with the level of care our daughter received. It was clear that they really valued safety and hygiene, but also fun activities and learning experiences. We felt our daughter progressed so much during her time there and loved that they took the children out into nature to experience different settings. It was also clear that our daughter developed a lovely bond with all of them. We only took our daughter out of the setting because we moved out of the area. I would thoroughly recommend Tiny Town Tots to anyone seeking a caring, safe and activity-focused childminder.
Cancelled on us at short notice 5 times in the first half term. Straw that broke us was when I received a call from the pa on the school transport bus saying no one was at the house to receive my daughter. She hadn’t contacted us and just didn’t turn up leaving my daughter who has audhd and learning difficulties having to get back on the bus and travel around gloucestershire until they finished the rounds. It was very upsetting for everyone involved and confusing for my daughter
Sam is a great childminder my child is with her all the day from 6am to 7pm and she is looking after him
My child started eating more with her
He plays more and become so friendly with others
She is caring and reliable with childrens
She is the best childminder I know and I recommend her your child is safe with her and happy
My son absolutely loves going to Fatima’s He started in January and settled in really quickly. When I go to pick him up, he never wants to leave, which says it all about how happy he is there.
He’s always well fed, happy and so well looked after. As both my husband and I work full-time, it’s such a relief knowing our son is in safe and caring hands. We never have to worry about him because we know he’s being looked after so well.
We’re so grateful to Fatima for the care and love she gives our son. I couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
Becky was my daughter's childminder from age 1 until she was 10. I can't recommend her highly enough. She was brilliant at engaging with her and really getting to know her when she was tiny all the way through as she grew. My daughter always enjoyed the welcoming setting and the fun things they did, from imaginative play, to going on trips out and about and in nature. She gave me complete confidence that my child was well looked after and happy while I was at work.
Charlie and Emily have been hugely supportive to our family and we could not be happier with the care that they give our children.
Our 20 month old has been with Charlie and Emily for 8 months and is thriving. We drop her off in the morning knowing that she is receiving the best possible care. She suffered with separation anxiety when I returned to work and would get upset when she was left with anyone other than us. Charlie and Emily soon won her over and really put my mind at ease which hugely assisted with my return to work.
Charlie also assisted with wrap around care for our eldest and she thoroughly enjoyed her time with them and would happily regale us with stories of her time there.
Charlie really does offer a platinum service providing children with a nurturing, caring and fun environment enabling them to thrive. The children are constantly creating artwork, engaging in outdoor, creative and messy play, attending playgroups and learning new skills. She is extremely accommodating, experienced, warm and reliable and keeps us regularly informed of their adventures and provides helpful developmental updates.
We don’t have family in the local area but our girls see Charlie and Emily as an extension of their family.
We feel extremely fortunate to have found Charlie. It really is a home from home setting.

We arranged for Lisa to look after our two-year-old son at relatively short notice, and we couldn't have been happier with her! Our son was immediately at ease with Lisa, who took great care of him for a couple of hours. Communication with Lisa was excellent from the outset, and she also sent us photo updates while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa and will definitely book her again next time we're in Glasgow!

I cannot recommend Keturah highly enough. She has been part of our family for the past two years and has been an invaluable source of support throughout that time.
Keturah is exceptionally professional, polite, attentive, organised and dependable. She approaches her role with genuine care and dedication, and I have always been able to trust and rely on her wholeheartedly, which, as a parent, is absolutely priceless.
She is wonderful with children, attentive to their individual needs and committed to ensuring they are happy, comfortable and well cared for. She also prepares delicious, wholesome and nutritious meals and snacks, always taking care to provide a healthy, balanced diet.
One of Keturah’s greatest qualities is her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our family’s changing needs, often at very short notice. She is proactive, considerate and takes initiative, making day-to-day family life that much easier.
Beyond her professionalism, Keturah is a genuinely lovely person. She is respectful, approachable and a pleasure to have around. Her reliability and consistency have given me tremendous peace of mind, knowing my children are in safe and capable hands.
Keturah has been a real asset to our household, and we are incredibly grateful for the care, time and dedication she has given our family.
Any family would be extremely fortunate to have her. I would recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
We've been so happy having Priya look after our children. She is wonderful and has built a special relationship with both of them and knows how to have lots of fun with them! I completely trust her and if only she lived nearer she would be our full time childminder too. Thank you Priya, we can't wait to have you back!

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Charlie care for our two daughters, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
We were new to the area when we were fortunate enough to be recommended Charlie. From the very beginning, she made us feel so welcome as parents, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about our children.
Our youngest has been with Charlie since we moved to the area, with Charlie also providing wraparound care for our eldest, who started at Grand Avenue. Having previously used a private nursery for our eldest in the Earlsfield area, we have really noticed the difference that having someone who cares just as much about your children as you do can make to their happiness, confidence and development.
We regularly receive updates on all the wonderful activities they get up to, and rarely a day goes by without them being out adventuring, exploring and discovering something new. Charlie creates such a fun, nurturing and stimulating environment, and it’s lovely to see how much the girls enjoy their time with her.
Most importantly, we have complete peace of mind knowing our girls are so well cared for, happy and having the best time. Charlie is a truly special childminder, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone who will love and care for their children as if they were her own.
