Annemarie is so so caring and kind and has treated our boy with such love and he is so happy when he gets picked up after having a lovely day and lovely homecooked food. I trust her with my wholeheart and rest safe when he is with her knowing he is getting the best care. Annemarie is our village and we are so very grateful for all the help and nothing is ever a bother for her. If only there were more Annemaries in the world, how lovely would that be🙂
My son had a wonderful time at Millfield Montessori during the summer school holidays. He really enjoyed going and was excited and eager to go back every day, which says a lot!
It was such a great help for us as working parents, knowing he was somewhere safe, happy and enjoying his days.
I would highly recommend Millfield Montessori to other parents looking for childcare during the school holidays. We had a really positive experience and will definitely be using them again! ❤️
Anna has been looking after our twin daughters since May 2025 and we would recommend her to any family looking for childcare. After struggling to find childcare ahead of the girls turning one, we were absolutely delighted to meet her.
Anna currently looks after our twins three days a week, alongside some additional help and babysitting occasionally. She is kind, calm, nurturing and reliable. She has also been really supportive and flexible when we have needed extra support, which has been so helpful for us as a family.
Anna is incredible with the girls as they have transitioned from babies through milestones into fully fledged toddlers! She always plans lots of fun and engaging activities with them, whether it's day trips out and about around Edinburgh, outdoor fun, library trips and arts and crafts at home. Previously, Anna taught the girls some baby sign language, has been instrumental as the girls have developed their speech and is currently helping us navigate the madness of potty training! She also cooks some great and nutritious meals and snacks for them.
Anna has developed a lovely relationship with our daughters, which is so wonderful to watch. We feel incredibly lucky to have Anna looking after the girls.
Sarah was our nanny from 2023 until just this year when our twin girls started school.
She provided a structured and nurturing environment and was a lifeline for us as full time working parents. More than that, she became part of our family and we will always be so grateful for her care.

Our little one has recently started with Carly, and absolutely loves going! Carly has been so warm, friendly and welcoming, and is always so helpful and accommodating.
She has created such a lovely, homely environment with lots of engaging activities, different toys and plenty of opportunities for play and learning. It’s clear how much thought and care she puts into making sure the children are happy, entertained and learning through play.
We’re so pleased with how well our little one has settled in and it’s such a reassurance knowing that he is in such caring and capable hands. He always seems so happy when he goes, which means the world to us as parents. We really couldn’t be happier with how things have gone so far and would highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a warm, caring and nurturing setting. 😊

We couldn’t recommend Miriam enough. She has been looking after our son Noah for the past year, since he was just 10 months old, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
Miriam is so caring, patient and nurturing, and we have always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving Noah in her care. She regularly takes him out on fun days and plans lots of lovely activities, which he absolutely loves. He is always so happy to see her and comes home excited to tell us about his day.
Over the past year, we have seen Noah grow so much in confidence and develop new skills, and we are so grateful to Miriam for providing such a happy, fun and caring environment for him.
We feel very lucky to have found Miriam and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a childminder who genuinely cares about the children she looks after. ❤️
We are so grateful to have found Shiza to care for our two girls, aged 7 and 4, over the summer holidays.
In our experience, finding someone who is warm and caring and can have fun with the girls, while also being reliable, professional and organised, can be a real challenge. We found all of these qualities in Shiza.
With both my husband and me working long days and travelling, we needed someone we could completely rely on. Shiza never let us down, and we always felt at ease knowing that our girls were being well cared for. She put so much effort into keeping them busy and entertained, organising lots of crafts and regularly taking them to local parks, the library and on fun little adventures. The girls loved spending time with her.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shiza to another family and feel very lucky to have found her.

Honestly couldn’t thank lisa enough for her services!
From day one you've always created such a happy, safe and caring environment where she’s been able to grow in confidence and learn so much.
It's been so reassuring knowing she was in such kind and capable hands every day. We've loved seeing the special bond you all had built together, and we're so grateful for all the care, patience and fun you've given them.
As parents we would always recommend lisa to anyone we can and would definitely use her services again and again!
thank you lisa!
Our experience with this nursery was deeply concerning and distressing. The following is a factual summary.
After we raised concerns about this nursery’s behaviour regarding our daughter’s care in several areas, the responses we received appeared increasingly dismissive and vexatious.
Matters ultimately became serious enough for us to seek legal advice and to involve the Information Commissioner’s Office and Ofsted.
The nursery changed ownership during the process. We approached the new owners hoping to resolve the outstanding issues, but unfortunately found further unwillingness to meaningfully engage with matters which we considered to be extremely serious.
It therefore became necessary for us to bring court proceedings against the nursery for a number of serious issues. Those proceedings were ultimately decided in our favour by the court and we obtained a county court judgement in default against the nursery.
The entire experience has caused considerable distress to our family and had a lasting impact on our wellbeing, requiring around a year of legal action and liaison with several statutory bodies in order to resolve.
Upon removing our daughter from Amberley, the immediate contrast since she started at a childminder and then subsequently at a new nursery was extremely notable, on both her and us.
Based on our experience, we would very strongly not recommend Amberley nursery to any other parents and we continue to have very significant concerns about its behaviour and culture.
From day one the level of love and care from Kashian, Joan and Ricky was very apparent and special. It’s a big thing for any parent putting their child into care for the first time. However we felt instantly at ease and received regular updates thoroughly the day on how he was getting along. Their 20+ years experience in this field really shines through in all aspects and our little one received the best start to child care that we could have ever hoped for. Highly recommended this setting
I couldn’t be happier with the care my daughter received at Megan's setting. My daughter started with Megan when I returned to work at the end of my maternity leave in September 2023, my daughter went from not wanting to be left with anyone to absolutely loving going to Megan's and sometimes she didn't want to come home!
Megan has a warm, nurturing approach that creates a home away from home where my daughter was not only safe but also thrived both socially and emotionally.
Every time my daughter went to Megan's we would come home and hear about her fun and engaging activities—from creative indoor play to exciting outdoor adventures that get her moving and exploring and all the learning/creative activities that they had done during the day which my daughter loved bringing home to show off to everyone.
Megan's constant updates, complete with photos/videos and little stories of her day, makes me feel truly connected to her world and feel at ease knowing she was having the best time ever!
Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you so much.
My daughter loved going to Megan's that much that when she left to go to school my daughter told me she had to keep going to Megan's, so now she goes after school on a Wednesday and still never wants to leave! I honestly can't recommend Megan enough.🤭
I have booked Harmeet twice, and the first time I met her she made me and my son felt so welcomed, he automatically trusted her and started playing with her the first time they met, I have had 2 amazing night outs, no issues no worries and always received updates about my son from her, she is amazing and her service is a 10/10 and I am honestly grateful for her.

Well, I don’t really know where to start Dana has been there with so much support throughout our daughters journey. She gave me the reassurance that I needed to be able to go to work knowing that our daughter was in the best home from home care. She has provided thorough observations and tracking information helping us get the appropriate support involved (speech and language and IDS)
I couldn’t recommend her more! Book her now!
Nahaid has been my childminder for 5 years now and I consider her an extension of my family. She js so kind and has been a huge part in my daughters’ lives. My eldest has been with her since she was 2.5 (now 7.5) and my youngest since 8 months (now 5.5). They adore Nahaid. Nahaid has seen them through the early years and has been doing pick ups for them from a local school which has worked really well. I recommend Nahaid as a childcare for younger children as well as wrap around care. She organises daily playgroup visits, park trips and bigger trips to museums across the city. I much prefer sending my children to her rather than after school club, because it is a home from home environment and they are able to relax properly in a home environment while continuing to play and do fun activities instead of just having an extension of the school day. I cannot recommend Nahaid enough. I feel so lucky that we found her. She is kind, nurturing and knows what children need. She is well aware of the early years syllabus and actively works to ensure children are meeting milestones. Her home is clean and tidy, with lots of activities available for children.
Our boys have been with Nicole for 3 years and we couldn’t ask for a better childminder. She has supported and developed them over the years with all the activities and days out she plans. She provides a safe, fun and engaging setting and always keeps us up to date on what they’ve been doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, kind and friendly childminder!

Our baby was with her for around two months, and we had a very positive experience. She was caring, attentive and always listened to any specific needs or requests we had. We felt our baby was safe, happy and well cared for throughout. We would happily recommend her to other parents.
Shannon is truly all we could have hoped for and more. She is kind, playful, positive, reliable, active and a great communicator. Not to mention experienced, knowing what children need and how to engage with them in a positive and safe way.
We find ourselves beyond fortunate to have Shannon in our family's lives. We couldnt say enough about Shannon. She's the best!

My Daughter has been with Little Learners for over a year now and I can not recommend them enough.
My child's development has come on leaps and bounds being in their care and she is always so happy when I collect her I know she's had a great day. As a first time Mum I'm so grateful for Sarah who always reassures me with my overthinking and offers her advice if I need it. I feel so blessed to have found Sarah and Graham and wouldn't want my Daughter to go anywhere else. They bring fun, learning and a great family environment together. I really don't think my child would have come on with her development the way she has at nearly 2 without Sarah and Grahams teachings. A solid 5 stars from me.
