We never write reviews but this a review that we really wanted to share. From day one Vickie became an integral part of our household. It was an extremely complicated situation with one of our twins still in NICU and the other one at home, and our 5 year old daughter navigating her first year of reception. One of our boys remained in NICU for an extended period and we had to navigate between the hospital and home, with Vicky being the key to making this work and making this feel as smooth and easy as it could get. Although we had a daughter before she was able to help in so many ways with caring for newborns. To name a few (it’s a long list!) her help with breastfeeding, sleeping, nutrition for both babies and parents.. Vickie cared and adapted every day to our needs, and exceeded any possible expectations we might have. She had a great balance of knowing when to guide us and when to support in our way of doing things. She is a true expert in every meaning of the word and her bedside manners are truly exceptional. My wife and I are still so greatful for being there in our toughest moments and giving our boys the best start in life. This review could go on for days, but I would say that straight from the heart that hiring Vickie is without a doubt the best decision we have ever made.

Our son has been with Carrie since he was 1 year old, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she completely calmed our nerves as new parents and made a genuine effort to get to know us as a family.What sets Carrie apart is her deeply collaborative approach. She knows our son so well and has been a constant source of support and guidance through all the usual parenting struggles. She is a vital part of our "village," and we are so grateful for the care, warmth, and expertise she provides.We trust her implicitly and will absolutely be enrolling our next child with her too. If you are looking for a childcare provider who truly cares and partners with you in raising your child, Carrie is the absolute best!

I was a little apprehensive at first as my son attended both a nursery and pre school. However, my daughter has been going to Terri for a couple of years now and I can honestly say it has been the best.
It doesn’t feel like child care, it is much more special. My daughter has had lots of exciting experiences with Terri such as trips to the park, out for walks and visits other local places. It is lovely to receive pictures during my working day of my daughter enjoying her time with Terri and her friends.
I would 100% recommend Terri’s Tots to others.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Pam look after our daughter from before she was one until now that she started Reception. She has been so much more than just a childminder and has played such a special part in our daughter’s early years.
Being away from our support system and without family nearby, having someone like Pam who we could completely trust made such a beautiful difference in our life. She has always been caring, kind, understanding and genuinely interested in our daughter and her development. I always knew she was in safe hands and, most importantly, that she was truly loved and cared for.
Pam has also been such a support to me. She has always encouraged me in the things I’ve been doing and shown a genuine interest in my life. She has always been incredibly understanding too. Whether I needed to drop my daughter off a little earlier or was unexpectedly late because something had gone wrong, she never made me feel guilty or uncomfortable. She was always fair, compassionate and understanding.
She has always been extremely professional and honest. She never asked for anything beyond her agreed daily rate, which was £37 a day (everything included) and was incredibly reasonable with her fees compared with many other childminders. Despite this, the level of care she provided was exceptional. From trips to the park, feeding the ducks and getting special treats each Friday to celebrate a good week. She did it all.
The food and snacks she provided were amazing and top quality (I honestly never once had to send extra food along.)
She also made every special occasion feel special, whether it was a birthday, Christmas or Easter. Pam always put so much thought into making these days memorable for all the children.
One of the most thoughtful things she gave us in the end was a beautiful journal documenting our daughter’s time with her, including her progress, special memories and all the little moments they shared. It is something we will treasure and will be so lovely for our daughter to look back on one day.
Pam has such a good heart and genuinely cares about the children in her care. You can see that she takes pride in what she does and really wants the children to be happy, confident and well looked after.
It is difficult to put into words how grateful we are for everything Pam has done for our daughter and for us over the years. She has given our little girl such a happy, loving and memorable start to life, and we will always be thankful for that.
We would recommend Pam without hesitation to any parent looking for a kind, trustworthy, professional and genuinely caring childminder. ❤️

Tessa has been a brilliant childminder to our little girl, who has recently moved onto pre school. Tessa offers a truly home-from-home setting and my little girl loved it from day one. The care really is exceptional with so much attention to detail.
We love that Tessa is always out and about with the children - from going on nature walks, to library singing groups, the milk shed, playgrounds and supermarkets. Everything is a learning experience and the children all love being part of the family.
Every day my daughter brought home a new art and craft activity, related to the topic they were learning about.
The toys and games are always very inventive and tailored to children’s interests.
Tessa is incredibly responsive to the children’s needs and builds close bonds - our daughter ran in eagerly every day and came home happy. Never stopped chatting (both with Tessa and when she got home). We really liked how kind and caring Tessa is with babies - we noticed she bought a sling for a little one who was a bit unsettled. Really impressed by this.
She really listens to parents too and regularly asks for feedback which creates an open relationship and opportunity for conversation. We would unreservedly recommend her and are so glad we found her for our family - and indeed have another one starting with her soon!
Claire is amazing! She looked after my daughter who had a speech delay and even made out time to visit her special nursery to learn ways to best support her. My daughter so much enjoyed her time there and always looked forward to going.
My son is currently with her and absolutely loves her too. She is so good with children; caring, patient, and truly passionate about what she does. We couldn't have asked for a better childminder. Highly recommend.

Michelle was the most amazing childminder for my son, he was there from 14 months old until 3 years (only left her as we moved away!). He learned so much and made great friends. Michelle always took the children out to fun places such and got them outside as much as possible
Charlotte has an amazing way of interacting with our neurodivergent son. In the short time she has worked with him she has helped him learn to write, which has been a major achievement for him. She is able to adapt her teaching to suit his needs, for example helping him learn his times tables through game play. We are very happy with his progress thanks to Charlotte
My son has been going to Litlte Bundles for nearly a year (since he was 10 months old), he absolutely loves it. Shazya and everyone who works with her are lovely and clearly care a lot about the children in their care. My son is always so happy to go in and also at the end of the day too.
I receive regular updates throughout the day as to what my child has been up to. They have lots of different activities and spend a lot of time outdoors too. It really does seem like a tight community and a real home away from home.
My daughter will also be attending too. Thank you for everything you do!
I went to visit CeeCee and found her to be warm, welcoming and enthusiastic about being a trustworthy childminder. We didn’t end up going with CeeCee as we wanted a minder with some older children to match my son’s age, however, I felt comfortable about the idea of leaving my children with her had we chosen to move forward.
Being a first time mother, I was apprehensive about childcare settings. My child was under 2 when she started - I was concerned about her not being able to speak and how I would know if she was being taken care of well? This was compounded by a not so positive initial experience with another childminder and the guilt was real! Needless to say the after a few settling in sessions with Sophia and her team, my child emerged at the end of the day happy. I've seen her speech take off and as a typically introverted child, it's amazing to hear that she has made friends. She is keen to go and comes out bouncing. Sophia, Kareema, Sabrina and team are warm-hearted, kind and take the time to give my child focussed care and attention. I am in awe of how much time and thought goes into planning daily activities and meals, staff really work to understand my daughters favourite foods, books, songs. French lessons and Spanish lessons, educational trips, cultural awareness days - my child is getting a wholesome experience. I fully recommend Daisy Daycare and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any mum who is looking for a childminder to use their services. Thanks for all you do Daisy Daycare team - your energy and passion for the children are amazing!

Amanda and Peter are amazing! They have looked after both my children from babies to start of school and still do some wrap around care for us.
Amanda and Peter offer a home from home environment and my children are always excited to go and have made great friends with the other children.
My children love the groups Amanda takes them to as well as the trips to the park, beach etc and the special events and parties to mark Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
Amanda and Peter really go the extra mile and things like birthdays are so special for the children.
Amanda and Peter are really flexible and will always do their best to accommodate last minute requests. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amanda and Peter, they do an amazing job 😊
Our son has been with Kirsten and George since August 2026 and we've been really happy with the care he's received so far. We were anxious about leaving him with anyone for the first time but they made us feel at ease from the start. They were generous with their time to talk us through how they approach childcare and were flexible with settle in options to get him started. They work really well as a team, and the homely setting makes us feel confident our son is comfortable and safely looked after.
The atmosphere is relaxed, creative and low-key, which suited us just as much as it suited our son. There's a good variety of activities and music to keep him engaged, and we've noticed how much he's developed in their care and with the help of his buddies there (including Elvis, the friendly spaniel!) They also send helpful updates throughout the day, so we always know what he's been up to.
Their daughters are a lovely bonus too — our son is very fond of them, and it gives the whole setting a real family feel. We're so glad we found Kirsten and George in our area and would happily recommend them as warm, genuine caregivers.

We’re so happy with the care Anaiah receives from Kim and Krissy. They are both so caring, patient and attentive, and always keep us updated throughout the day. Anaiah has settled in so well and clearly loves being with them. We really appreciate everything they do and would highly recommend Kim and Krissy. ❤️

I honestly couldn’t be more grateful to Faicka for everything she did for our daughter during her first 4 years.
She gave her so much love , care and attention and taught her so many wonderful things along the way. We absolutely loved the activities and all the little tasks she did with her, as well as how closely Faicka followed her development and learning.
Thanks to all the love , dedication and preparation Faicka gave her , my daughter started reception feeling confident and happy for this new chapter.
I would recommend Faicka a thousand times over. We feel so lucky that she was such an important part for our daughters early years and we always be grateful for everything she did for her.
We love you tia Faicka and we will always remember you ❤️
I have been lucky enough to have Andromeda taking care of my daughter for 3 years! She have always shown a very proactive attitude with us and have adapted to my work shifts and my daughter's needs always. She gave all the skills to be patient, fun and caring while and keep sleep routine or morning routine. She's incredible with kids and you can tell she has that gift on her. 100% recommend
Deglys looked after my daughter for her first 4 years and honestly couldn’t be more grateful to her. She is such a seeet, caring , profesional and professional person. As a Latina , she gave my daughter something very special by sharing our culture and values. She brought so much happiness and joy into my daughters life and of course I have to mention her amazing cooking too! :)
Deglys became a very special part of our family and we will always remember her with so much love.
Thank you for everything. My little girl will always remember you ❤️
