Hannah is wonderful. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather leave my child with.
I booked her without a meeting first due to an urgent request. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding and responsive. Taking all our household challenges in her stride during the session, she even had our two noisy little daschunds under her feet!
It didn't take long for my daughter to feel comfortable with Hannah's fun, open and gentle interactions, —not always the case for little ones under two! I felt so relieved getting out of the house with no separation tears (hers or mine lol) for once, knowing my daughter was in trusted hands <3
I would highly recommend Hannah to any family looking for a professional, experienced carer.
Thank you so much and we both look forward to seeing you again soon.
Pav has been a fantastic childminder for our son for 2 and a half years. She has provided him with such a nurturing start to his education journey. He started doing 2 full days then increased to 3, settling with ease. Pav takes the children out at least once a day and will take relevant learning materials and books with them. She will also plan bigger days out to farms, national trust properties, visits from local specialists/ professionals (beekeeper, firefighter) and meets other childminders regularly. She manages the mixed ages brilliantly and ensures everyone is catered for and thriving. The food is homemade, nutritious and varied. Pav truly felt like one of the family and we very grateful to have found her.
I am delighted to recommend Layla, who has been our housekeeper for the past two and a half years. Throughout this time, she has consistently been reliable, trustworthy, caring and exceptionally hardworking.
Layla takes great pride in her work and always maintains our home to an excellent standard, with genuine care and attention to detail. Beyond being an excellent housekeeper, she is someone we have come to trust and value enormously.
When I have to travel, Layla helps care for both our home and my teenage daughter, giving me tremendous peace of mind. She has such a warm, kind and lovely personality that even my very shy daughter feels completely comfortable and at ease having her around. That, for me, speaks volumes about the wonderful person she is.
Layla is dependable, thoughtful and genuinely cares about the people and home she looks after. She has become a much-valued presence in our household, and we are truly grateful for everything she does.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Layla to anyone looking for not only an outstanding housekeeper, but also a genuinely trustworthy, caring and lovely person.
Carla have been nannying for us for a few months now.
She is an excellent nanny, very professional, always on time, and performed all the routines with the children very well.
Her communication is also 5 stars.
I recommend her services and I will continue to book her services for my family.
Ana
We are so grateful for the care and support our daughter has received. Anna made a lovely effort to introduce her to the nursery using words and songs from our home language, helping her feel familiar and settled from the beginning. She has also supported her wonderfully with food through playful activities, stories and games, making a real difference to her relationship with food. When we ask our daughter who her friends are, alongside children's names, Anna is always one of the first people she mentions. She speaks about her as a friend rather than just her nursery teacher, which says so much about their special bond. The whole team is fantastic, and if we were lucky enough to have a second child, we would choose Anna again without hesitation!

I have known Daniela for the past 11 months, during which time she has been caring for our three children, aged 9, 5 and 2.
Daniela has been a caring, responsible and reliable person throughout this time. She has been wonderful with our children, and I would happily recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and dedicated childcare provider.
Sarah is a very very lovely person , she makes me the parent and my child feel safe and welcome , she cares for my little one just like her own and she engages the kids in all kinds of activities….. I am always rest assured that my child is in a safe space and place when he his with Sarah… I highly recommend her to everyone ❤️❤️
Fatimah
I honestly cannot recommend her enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my 3-year-old son — incredibly gentle, caring, patient and attentive. My little boy loved spending time with her and felt so comfortable, which gave me real peace of mind. She was also kind enough to accommodate us at very short notice, which I truly appreciated. It’s not always easy trusting someone with your little one, but she made the whole experience so reassuring and positive. We are genuinely grateful and would happily recommend her to any parent looking for someone warm, trustworthy and caring. Thank you so much! ❤️

We honestly can’t thank Domenica enough for everything she has done for our two children. Our eldest started with Domenica when he was around 1 year old, and our youngest joined her at just 6 months. From the very beginning, we knew they were in the safest, most caring hands. It was so reassuring to know that both our children were being looked after by someone who genuinely cared for them, and they absolutely adored their time with her.
Domenica has always gone above and beyond, providing so many fun activities, exciting outings and lovely experiences for the children. There was never a shortage of things to do, and it was always lovely hearing about all the adventures they had been on and seeing how much fun they were having. She took such wonderful care of both of them, making sure they were happy, loved and well looked after. We always felt completely at ease knowing they were with her.
Both children have learnt, grown and developed so much during their time with Domenica. She has created such a lovely, warm environment for them, where they have made happy memories and built lovely friendships along the way.
We sadly left the area in summer 2025, which meant saying goodbye to Domenica. Our daughter continued with her until the year before starting school, when she moved on to preschool, and she was so sad to leave. She is now in Reception, and we know how much of a special part of her early years Domenica played. Both children have been so lucky to have had her in their lives.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a kind, caring, dedicated and wonderful childminder. We would recommend Domenica without hesitation to anyone looking for someone to care for their little ones. Thank you for everything, Domenica – we will always be so grateful for the love and care you gave both our children! ❤️
I am very happy with the childcare provided by Dominika. She started looking after my son when he was just 14 months old. From the very beginning, she made us feel welcome and offered us so much support, which I truly appreciated.
My son settled in straight away, with absolutely no problems. Dominika is a very warm, caring and approachable person, and I always felt confident that my child was safe, happy and well looked after in her care.
She is also very flexible when it comes to working hours, which was incredibly helpful for us, especially as her availability fitted in perfectly with my daughter's school hours. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our needs made a real difference to our family.
Communication has always been excellent, and I have always found her very understanding and supportive.
Since my son started attending preschool and his hours with Dominika were reduced, he still often talks about her and remembers his time there. He regularly says that he would love to spend more time with her, which I think says everything about how happy and comfortable he felt in her care.
I would highly recommend Dominika to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, flexible and trustworthy childminder. We are very grateful for everything she has done for our family.
Geany has been our childminder for almost 9 years now and we can't recommend her enough! Both our children love geany. She is like a second mum to them. Our son attends now and our daughter went before him.
Our kids have learned so much and are looked after so well in such a loving, safe and friendly environment.
We would definitely recommend Geany to anyone who is looking for someone they can trust to look after their children and to help them grow into wonderful and capable kids.
Phoebe, Esi, Akos and Bernice cared for our son from when he was a baby until he started nursery at three. With a small baby, no nursery felt right. But Elelyon is perfect for little ones: a group big enough for real friendships, small enough to feel like family. They love the children like their own, and because there are four of them, the care is consistent, with no emergency closures. Our son is lucky to have a big loving family and this became another branch of it.
We didn’t realise how much the setting mattered until we saw how it was shaping him. The mixed-age group was the first surprise. Phoebe encourages the babies to learn from the older children, and whenever we marvelled at a new skill like eating, sleeping or walking, she’d tell us he’d picked it up from the others.
As he grew, they taught him to look after the little ones. When his sister was on the way, Phoebe purposefully prepared him for months. He was gentle with her from day one, careful with her head, eager and excited to care for "his baby". Potty training was the same: when we’d stalled, Phoebe’s lead had him trained in two weeks.
He’s a very energetic boy, and we worried about him being in a house. We needn’t have. They go to a huge park nearly every day and the children really run. He came home tired!
They balanced independence and support for a curious little adventurer, and respected him as his own person. Now he’s excited to meet new children, kind when others cry, and extremely respectful. When I first saw him patiently wait his turn for his piece of cake at a birthday, which he got last, we knew it was Elelyon magic.
Months into nursery, his best friends are still the ones from El Elyon. They made the move to nursery so smooth, and they absolutely adore each other. Now our daughter is about to start with them, and we can’t imagine her being cared for by anyone else.
Saskia responded to my ad quickly, and put me at ease very quickly after speaking. My 2 kids enjoyed their time with her and were both calm and happy when I got back. My little dog even took to her unusually fast as well!. I've not used a babysitter before and neither my kids nor I really knew what to expect, so thank you for making it easy and stress free.
I'm sure we'll see Saskia again, and I would recommend her to others.

Gabriela is absolutely wonderful at what she does. She cared for our daughter from 9 months to 1 year old, before we relocated to Australia from the U.K. Our daughter settled in so quickly and became very comfortable with her, and I immediately felt she was in safe, caring hands. Gracie would get giddy with excitement every morning as we approached Gaby's door for drop-off. It is the most comforting feeling to leave your child with someone you know will keep them safe, happy and nurtured.
We also saw so much growth and development during her time with Gaby. She shared photos and updates daily and always kept our little one busy with fun new activities and adventures. She prepared healthy meals and had her on a regular routine quickly. Gabriela is truly amazing with children of all ages (having kids herself), and she is caring, kind and very experienced. Her Montessori background and knowledge of child development are very apparent.
She made everything clear & easy for us. She has a wonderful at-home set-up, with plenty of children's activities nearby at the centre and local parks. Gracie had so much fun with her. Truly one of a kind!

We have known Fia and James for almost 2y now and both our 2.5y old and 9 month old are with them most days of the week. We feel very lucky to have found them and have had peace of mind that the kids are very well looked after and are developing various skills, independence and good manners. The kids are happy with them and it is very much a home away from home. The children are taken to forest school and playgroups on a weekly basis, which offers a bit of variety/change of scene and you can see the lovely friendships developing.
They have years of experience and lots of helpful tips and strategies to manage any tricky situation. We couldn’t recommend them enough !!
We feel very fortunate to have had Alex in our lives. From the beginning, she formed a special bond with Mateo, who absolutely adored her. He was always excited to see her, and it was lovely to see how happy, comfortable and secure he felt in her care.
Alex is warm, kind and caring, with a natural affection for children. She is patient, thoughtful and attentive, and always made Mateo feel loved and valued. Knowing he was in such capable hands gave us real peace of mind.
Beyond her relationship with Mateo, Alex was a joy to have around. Our whole family loved spending time with her, and she quickly became part of our family.
We would recommend Alex without hesitation. We are grateful for the care and affection she showed Mateo and the happiness she brought to our home.
We were very lucky to find Tracey who has cared for our son Tristan for over a year, and was able to start with us at fairly short notice - really appreciate her flexibility and good humour!
She has a very well kept home and huge garden to for the kids to play in. We receive daily updates on WhatsApp on what activities they've been doing and outings they have had, and what's on the menu for lunch (all healthy homecooked food). Tracey is always prompt and helpful replying to messages and on the phone.
Tristan has come on leaps and bounds with Tracey and grown into an avid reader and little adventurer. At drop-off he strides confidently into her hallway! We've found his time with Tracey has been invaluable - both beginning as our primary daycare for the week and then staggered with starting nursery. We're so grateful for all Tracey has done and would highly recommend her to other parents!
I have been leaving my son in Susan’s care since he was just one year old, and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.
My son feels completely at home with her and is always so happy to go. He settled in so well and has developed a lovely bond with Susan.
She communicates exceptionally well with parents and provides daily updates and summaries, which give me great peace of mind and reassurance.
Leaving your child with someone for the first time can be a very daunting and emotional decision for any parent. However, Susan has made the whole experience so much easier. I couldn't recommend her enough. I am truly grateful to have her!
We cannot speak highly enough of Nicola. She looks after all 3 of our children (aged 5, 3 & 1) and is quite simply fantastic. Our kids love her (they are disappointed to leave because they have so much fun at her house), the rest of her family are lovely and our kids have a great relationship with Nicolas own 3 children and she is so flexible and helpful always willing to go the extra mile to help us.
She really has the children's best interest at heart, she works incredibly hard to give them a great experience - things like walking to school, playing outside, in the holidays there is a trip out at least 3 days per week - sometimes more, toddler groups, fun days, bike riding, soft play, the park! And the best part - when other parents are panicking about what to do with their kids in the holidays and booking expensive holiday camps....I don't have to worry...Nicola has it covered!
She is kind and understanding and has guided us through many steps of parenthood with professionalism and kindness - things like understanding early years funding, applying to primary school, potty training, weaning, settling the children in when they start as a baby.
She has so much experience but is also very respectful of our wishes as parents - if we ask her to do something in a certain way e.g getting the baby longer naps she will always work with us to accommodate our wishes.
If you choose Nicola for your children you won't regret it!
