Lolo’s setting is wonderful, full of love, joy and good times! My daughter is always so happy to arrive there in the morning and has such an adventure filled day, travelling to exciting places whether it be a gallery or park and always eating lots of good food. I appreciate the daily updates with all the cute pics!
My child has just left Little Bees after seventeen happy months, and it is very bittersweet because he had such a wonderful time there. He started going 2 days a week at 6 months, 3 days at 1 year and eventually full-time. Ewelina and her team were very happy to tailor my child's day to his changing needs, from 3 naps down to 1, bottle-feeding to fully weaned, and beginning potty training. His vegetarian diet was also well-catered for. I was kept well-informed of daily activities and really appreciated the daily photos. They did lovely park visits, special occasion days (i.e. Easter), and lots of creative, sensory, messy play. My child felt so happy and safe, he never cried or even fussed when we said goodbye in the mornings. I cannot recommend Little Bees highly enough!
I am very happy to recommend Trish, who looked after my son Oliver for around two years.
I first heard about her through recommendations from my friends, and I am so glad I chose her. I have never regretted my decision. From the very beginning, she was caring, kind, patient, reliable, and professional.
I always felt confident leaving my son in her care, knowing that he was safe, happy, and well looked after. My son developed very much with Trish because she was organising him a lot of entertainment and educational and creative work which he was bringing home.
I am very grateful for all the care, love, and support she gave my son over the two years. I would happily recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder.
I’m satisfied with Trish work. My son always liked to go to her home and after some time he didn’t want come back when I was picking him up. He never didn’t complain and he was always happy to be able to go there. We will miss Trish very much. She is a very good person and I can truly recommend Trish.
Ally & Louise looked after my daughter from the age of 11 months to almost 2.5 years. They are both wonderful childminders and helped my daughter grow in confidence, improved her motor skills and speech. It’s a home from home environment, it would be the loveliest feelings dropping her off and seeing how excited she was to see the girls. Being a first time mum, they also offered me so much support too, from navigating milestones to funding. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Heidi looked after my 2-year-old on evenings for a couple of weeks in August 2026. She's a kind, warm young lady and you can tell she genuinely enjoys being around children. She was very patient with my toddler, who was quite shy at first with someone he didn't know, but he warmed up to her quickly and was soon giving her unprompted cuddles. She was reliable and easy to have around the house. Happy to recommend her.

Barbara has cared for our daughter since she was just 6 months old, and now at 4, she is so much more than a childminder — she has become a very special part of our family. She is incredibly caring, experienced and trustworthy, and we have always felt completely confident knowing our daughter was safe, happy and well looked after. Her home is always clean and welcoming, and she has given us so much advice and support over the years, from the little milestones to potty training! We are so grateful for all the love and care she has given our daughter and couldn’t recommend Barbara highly enough. ❤️
Ally has been looking after my 2 children in the holidays and they absolutely love their time there. The environment is warm and inviting. The variety of activities and days out is brilliant and I am very grateful for the care that is provided for my children. Thank you
Emma is a fabulous childminder! She helped us out with a really awkward situation where we only needed half a day a week for a limited time. She was extremely organised, experienced, warm, kind, fun, just absolutely brilliant. I was anxious about leaving my son for the first time, but she made me feel very at ease, sending regular updates.
Emma's house is perfectly set up for babies and toddlers, with a big space, well thought out toy areas, a large garden, everything safe and fun.
My son was 10 months old and loved his time at Emma's. We only wish we could've sent him to Emma for longer, but we moved to south London.
Thank you so much!

After 3yrs in Miha's care my son's heading to big nursery soon. Honestly, I feel he's had the best start I could wish for! He's been loved and cared for in the most safe, age-appropriate and stimulating environment and he's really thrived there. We appreciate the home-from-home feel, mixed with a schedule of activities and outings locally and heaps of play and fresh air. The set-up of two childminders working together is perfect. Small enough that each child is really known and settled (I so valued this, especially at the start) and they tailor things, yet big enough for social skills development, fun and activities. They're like a little family; learning, sharing, caring for each other and the friendships that have grown have been so sweet to see (the parents have become friends too!). Working with Miha over milestones eg potty-training, naps, transitions, I appreciated her experience and also how I never felt fussy if I raised anything. Others have noticed my kids kindness, manners and curiosity and I know it's down to the lovely environment he's been in. If you're lucky enough to discover she has a space - I'd grab it with both hands! A final thing, never once has Miha called in sick or taken time off without weeks of warning. If you're worried about that, you needn't be!

We have been using Rita for almost a year now and we are very pleased with her service. Our daughter attends school locally and Rita supports my wife and I with drop-off and pick ups on some days in the week.
During her time working with us, she has demonstrated consistent care, calmness and professionalism. She has a good relationship with our daughter. We’re grateful to have a great nanny and we look forward to continuing our working relationship.
Jo has cared for our 3 boys over the past 11 years and we honestly couldn’t have picked a better, safer, happier place for them! We are eternally grateful for the amazing start they have all had in life.
Jo has played such an important role in their early lives and they will always remember the time they spent with her.
Most recently, our youngest son has absolutely thrived in Jo’s care. He has loved every moment with her, from the fun activities and little adventures to the warm and comforting environment Jo has created. Her patience, kindness, and creativity have meant the world to him (& us!) and it’s been wonderful to see how happy and confident he is when he’s with her.
We would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for a childminder, she really is the best! Thank you Jo xxx
We loved sending our daughter to Fiona’s house. It has been a loving and fun environment where she has felt part of the family. Fiona plans her day to accommodate the children in her care. Carefully planning activities at home, playgroups and days out to playgrounds, farms or pet shops. Fiona is great at communicating with us and it is so nice to see the same friendly face every morning and evening. Thank you so much!
Cleo has been a wonderful childminder for my son since he was just nine months old. Her kindness and warm clean home environment have truly nurtured his growth, helping him reach important milestones. She maintains excellent communication with regular updates throughout the day, demonstrating her professionalism and genuine care for his development.
I cannot recommend Ally and her assistant Louise highly enough. They look after both of my boys — my seven-year-old son, who is autistic, and my five-year-old — through their holiday club care and after-school childminding, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and support they provide.
They are incredibly supportive, caring and patient, and they have built such a wonderful rapport with both of my boys. In particular, they have taken the time to understand my seven-year-old’s individual needs as an autistic child and have made him feel safe, secure, heard and trusted from the very first day.
It is clear that Ally and Louise have a genuine understanding of young children and SEN needs. They are knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate, and they treat each child as an individual. Knowing that both of my boys are happy, settled and well cared for gives me such peace of mind as a parent.
Their holiday club activities are fantastic. They organise a brilliant range of activities and take the children on exciting day trips and educational outings, giving them opportunities to learn, explore, socialise and experience new things. Everything is thoughtfully planned to make sure the children have fun while also learning and developing.
Their after-school childminding is equally wonderful. They create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where the boys feel comfortable being themselves. They are not simply supervising the children; they genuinely engage with them, listen to them and encourage them.
Seeing the positive relationship Ally and Louise have built with both of my boys means so much to me. My autistic son, especially, feeling safe and understood in someone else’s care is incredibly important, and they have managed to achieve that beautifully.
Thank you, Ally and Louise, for everything you do. We are so grateful for your kindness, patience, support and dedication. I would highly recommend you to any parent looking for caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy childcare.
Absolutely 5 stars from us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️
We couldn’t be more grateful for Angela and everything she has done for us. She has been such a huge help and has truly gone above and beyond to support our family. There have been so many occasions when she has helped us out of difficult situations and made everything feel so much easier.
Even when Maeve was unwell, Angela went above and beyond to help us find suitable childcare and made sure we had someone trustworthy to look after her. Her flexibility, kindness and willingness to help have meant so much to us.
Maeve has also learned so much during her time at the FabKidz setting, both socially and developmentally and we have seen her grow in confidence and independence.
We are incredibly thankful for all the support, care and guidance Angela has given us so far. It has been a pleasure working with her and we truly appreciate everything she has done for our family. We would highly recommend Angela and FabKidz to any family looking for caring, reliable and supportive childcare.

I attended a wedding at Hawkstone Hall & Gardens between 21 and 23 August 2026 and had the pleasure of using Hannah's babysitting services for my 13-month-old daughter on the evenings of Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August.
From the moment they met, my daughter immediately warmed to Hannah. She is exceptionally kind, caring and nurturing, which gave us great confidence and reassurance. What stood out most was Hannah's proactive approach. Without needing direction, she took care of everything, from feeding our daughter and taking her for walks to settling her to sleep and liaising with the venue staff whenever anything was needed.
As it was my brother's wedding, my wife and I wanted to make the most of a very special family occasion. Hannah's professionalism and initiative allowed us to be fully present throughout the celebrations, knowing our daughter was being cared for in the very best hands. Hannah also stayed late on both evenings, including beyond 1am, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
We felt completely at ease leaving our daughter with Hannah and would not hesitate to recommend her. She is warm, trustworthy, proactive and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to any family seeking reliable and exceptional childcare.
Yolanda was a great Nanny to my baby when he was only 5 months old. She was extremely patient and caring at all times. I was a very happy mummy and comfortable whenever I had to leave my little one with her.
I will always commend her care and love for my son during that time

We feel so lucky to have found Katie. Our daughter started with her at 9 months & absolutely loves going to her.
Katie puts so much effort into making the days varied and enjoyable for the little ones. A summary of what activities they’ve done and photos are sent at the end of the day which is great to see.
Katie has a lovely, warm energy and cares so much for the children she looks after which as a parent is all you could wish for.
Thanks Katie you’re a star!
