My son currently goes to the preschool here and has been at the nursery since 11 months, he absolutely loves it! The staff that have worked with my son have been fantastic, they have supported him and if ever there has been an issue, the manger Lynsey has always sorted them out straight away. I am grateful that my son is in a place where the care and support is wonderful! I have my second son starting next year due to feel calm and knowing he will be in a safe environment. Thank you Elm house!
Our daughter had started with Happy House Childcare (HHC) just before her first birthday and coming up to her fourth birthday, i can say she has enjoyed every day! HHC has always looked after her well and made sure she is entertained. The children at HHC all seem happy and well behaved which i believe is a good representation of how they are treated at the childcare. Our daughter has made many great friends through HHC and has prepared her so well that shes grown into a lovely character of a child who is already prepared for school (in her mind). The care that HHC has taken with our daughter to nurture her needs throughout the years has also been above expectations. HHC is a truly adored part of our family dynamic. Almost wish our daughter would stop aging so she could continue going forever!
She made me worry free with my 4 year old son. She bonded with him in the very first meeting though he’s a bit shy kind with new people. School pickup, homework, food, art activities, playing she took care of everything and made sure he was very comfortable. She’s an excellent nanny. I highly recommend her services if you want someone to take care of your kid like a family member.
My children have been going to Michaela’s for more than 3 years now. My son has attended after school club a few times but really doesn’t like it at all. He absolutely LOVES Michaela’s house! He is always really sad to leave at the end of the day and often reminds me not to collect him before time! Michaela’s home really is a home away from home for my children and they thoroughly enjoy attending! As a previous home ed mum, it was quite daunting for me to leave my children with a childminder. However, Michaela made me feel completely at ease and my children were extremely happy very quickly! In 3 years, I’ve never had to raise any issues with Michaela which is wonderful as my mind is at ease when my children are with her.
MY twin babies absolutely love this place, everybody are so lovely and professional!the house is spacious ,clean and cosy, lots of activities to do !!
We are very lucky to have found Florence and her stafI can't stop to thank them!!
I had a lovely experience with her and found her to be very kind, trustworthy, reliable, and genuine. From our conversations, I felt completely comfortable with her and had every confidence that she would have been wonderful with my family.
I would genuinely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable nanny. I was very impressed by her and would have been happy to have her help my family.
Emma is very experienced and knowledgeable, always cares about and puts the children in her care first. My daughter has settled really well with Emma she now looks forward to the variety of activities and experiences that Emma provides and the warm welcome every time to the setting.
We cannot recommend Charley highly enough. Our child was with her from the age of 9 months, initially part-time and later full-time, and she continued to support us through the early school years with school drop-offs and pick-ups.
From the very beginning, our child formed a strong bond with Charley and genuinely loved spending time with her. It was reassuring to know that they were in such caring and capable hands. Charley is kind, gentle, calm and incredibly patient. She treats every child with respect and takes the time to understand and respond to their individual needs.
What makes Charley particularly special is the warm and fun environment she creates. She has a great sense of humour, is always up for a laugh, and makes every day enjoyable for the children in her care. She also organised lovely outings, including trips to Wandlebury and visits to Scottsdales to see the Christmas lights, which our child always looked forward to.
Charley has always been exceptionally responsive, reliable and willing to help whenever needed. As parents, we greatly appreciated her flexibility, communication and genuine care for our child’s wellbeing and development.
We feel very fortunate to have had Charley as such an important part of our child's early years and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, dependable and engaging childminder.
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful childminder for our son, Theo. From the very beginning, Bec cared for him with so much love, kindness and patience, and genuinely made him feel like one of her own.
Over the past 6 months, we’ve watched his confidence grow so much. She has encouraged him to try new things while always giving him the reassurance he needs, and she has created such a warm, safe and happy environment for him.
Bec has made so many special memories with Theo, from all their little adventures to his love of toy stories, ice cream and all the activities they’ve done together. She knows him so well and has always understood his little quirks and personality.
It means so much to us that Theo has been so loved and cared for, and we will always be grateful to Bec for everything she has done for him. She was our first childminder and will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️
We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for Evie. From the very beginning, she was looked after with so much kindness, care and love, and it was clear how happy and settled she was.
Every day was filled with lovely activities and adventures, including so many walks and time outdoors. Evie learned so much during her time there, while also making some really lovely friendships along the way.
One of our favourite things was seeing just how excited Evie was to go. She would literally cheer in the car as we drove down the road towards the Tracy and Matt's house! Knowing that she was so happy when she was there gave us such peace of mind.
Tracy and Matt have played such a special part in Evie’s early years and have given her the most wonderful start. We will always be so grateful for all the care, patience and love they have shown her. We truly couldn’t have wished for better and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a warm, caring and nurturing home-from-home for their child.
I'm so glad we picked this nursery. Both of my little ones attend here, my two year old from being 11 months and my 11 month old has started here. They're both so happy here, they spend most of their time outside and have fabulous days. The staff are so caring and my little ones have created great bonds with them. I could not recommend them enough!
My little boy started with Carole in September. We have had a fabulous, professional, friendly experience so far. Carole put me at ease straight away and I fully trusted her from the start.
Carole has helped my little boy settle so well he now puts his arms out to her when we arrive. I am always kept up to date at handover with a smile and when he wasn’t drinking much at first, Carole went out of her way to help me with options and advice.
I’m so glad we found her and I would recommend her to anybody, thanks Carole

Really lovely experience. Asher ended up staying for 11 hours instead of the planned 6, and she kept me updated with photos throughout the day, which was very reassuring. Most importantly, he was happy and settled when I picked him up. I really appreciated the care and communication and would definitely use her again.

Dani is an absolutely amazing childminder, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. My little girl has been going to Dani five days a week for nearly a year, since she was just nine months old, and the care she receives is truly exceptional.
Dani treats my daughter as if she were her own, showing her so much love, kindness and affection. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that while I’m away from her, she is being cared for by someone who genuinely adores her and always puts her needs first.
She cooks amazing, nutritious homemade meals that my little girl absolutely loves, and makes sure the children have wonderful experiences every day. They are always out and about enjoying parks, playgroups, messy play, farms and so many other fun and enriching activities.
What means the most to me is knowing that my daughter isn’t just having amazing experiences and developing every day — she is also being loved and cared for to an exceptional standard. Dani consistently goes above and beyond, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone I trust so completely with my little girl.
Dani really is one of a kind, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their child.
We couldn’t be happier with the care and support our daughter receives. Dawn genuinely takes the time to get to know her as an individual — not just as a child in her care. Dawn understands my daughters personality, interests, strengths and areas where she can grow, and this really shows in the way she supports her.
Dawn is always keen to encourage and challenge her learning, while making it fun and enjoyable. She supports her education but also teaches her valuable life skills, independence and confidence, giving her opportunities to learn through everyday experiences.
What means the most to us is knowing that dawn genuinely has our daughter’s best interests at heart. She is caring, attentive and passionate about helping her develop, and our daughter clearly feels happy, comfortable and valued in her care. I was very nervous to leave our daughter but on the first day of collecting Penelope I knew she was in very safe hands, she came home very happy and content, Pea has ran ip to dawn ever since big smile on her face.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a dedicated childminder and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who truly cares about their child and their development.
We would like to sincerely thank Lenka for providing excellent emergency babysitting care for our six-year-old son. She is kind, reliable, and professional, and her transparent, honest pricing made the arrangements easy and reassuring. We paid her rate in advance as agreed.
Lenka arrived on time, introduced herself, and took the time to discuss our son’s habits, routines, and our requests. He was very happy with her thoughtful play plan and craft activities. Throughout the day, she kept us updated every hour with a photo or short message. They played board games, completed crafts, and, in the evening, she helped him with his bath and bedtime routine.
When we returned home, Lenka explained how his day had gone, and we found the house tidy and everything in order. My wife and I had a wonderful time together knowing our son was in such capable hands.
Thank you, Lenka. We highly recommend her to any family seeking dependable.

Claire is absolutely wonderful. She has looked after our daughter for the past 2 years and she will be in her care until she starts school next September. She is absolutely thriving. Claire is so fun, kind and professional and provides a home away from home environment. She prepares a weekly menu so you know what the children are eating and we get regular updates throughout the day with messages and pictures of their adventures. She also meets up with other local childminders at the park as well as their houses so it’s fantastic for the children’s development and social skills meeting other children to play with and make friends. My little one is learning new things every week and she’s always so excited to go to Claire’s house. Claire has even helped out with care for my oldest in the holidays when I have been at a loose end. Absolute angel and highly recommend her to any potential families looking for a childminder in the Chatham area
