The reason for the review title is we often compare Donna to Mary Poppins! Donna is genuinely like part of the family and we don't know where we'd be without her. Donna look after our middle child, who we gave up on the idea of nursery after a very traumatic attempt at settling in, who took to Donna a dream! from 1 year 1 month until she was 4 and out little girl not only adored Donna but thrived in her care. We then did not hesitate to secure a place when we found out baby number 3 was on route, who has been going to Donna for about 6 months now and despite being a very attached BF baby, she has no issues going to Donna and seems to also be coming on a dream. If you're looking for some who will be kind and patient and love your child as if it's her own, look no further, honestly cannot praise Donna enough

My son has been attending Mrs Sarah’s setting since the beginning of May, and we have been very happy with the care she provides. He has settled in extremely well, which is a testament to the warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment she creates.
Mrs Sarah communicates exceptionally well and keeps me updated about my son’s day, activities, and development. Her reassurance and regular communication have made the transition into childcare much easier for both of us and puts my mind at ease.
It is clear that she genuinely cares about the children in her care and works hard to ensure they feel safe, happy, and engaged. My son enjoys attending and has grown in confidence since starting with her. I would highly recommend Mrs Sarah to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and professional childminder.

My son started a few months ago, and has enjoyed going to Shamima. She always communicates well, is kind and happy.
My son is autistic, and struggles with change, she was understanding and made the transition easy.
I was so nervous exploring childminders/babysitters to look after my 3 year old boy.
Archie was also worried but at our first meeting with Ailsa she put me and archie at ease with her bubbly confident manner. Archie warmed to her immediately and I was reassured that he would be safe and well cared for. Had regular updates on the activities and how he was during the day.
Archie now loves her and is happy to be minded - a tremendous relief for me.
I would recommend Ailsa without reservation. Thank you Ailsa!
My son has been with Lucy since October when he was 11 months old. I knew as soon as I visited Lucy’s home that he was going to love it. Lucy has a lovely setting for the children, makes them home cooked meals. He has come on so much. I’m so glad that we found Lucy :)
Naila is an excellent and professional childminder. It’s been over a year my daughter has been attending with her and Naila has contributed immensely to the development of my little one, including communication and potty training. She is intentional about the children’s all round development which is commendable. Her home is well organised and safe for the children and updates through the app all day the activities of the children.The fact that my little one is always looking forward to attending, gives me peace while away. She’s highly recommended..:):)
Our twins have been in Lucy’s care for nearly a year and we feel extremely lucky to have found a team who have created an environment that’s safe, fun and a home away from home. The activities are endless with regular trips to the park, a phonics teacher who attends the site weekly, singing, story time and lots of arts and crafts. The twins are always so excited to tell us about their day. Our oldest daughter occasionally attends too and she is always so excited to join her siblings. Thank you for everything, you won’t regret your children being in Lucy’s care and her wonderful team!
Medina cared for all three of my boys, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She provided a safe, loving, and supportive environment where each of them felt valued, happy, and secure. Despite their different ages, personalities, and needs, Medina took the time to understand each child individually and helped them grow in confidence and independence.
My boys always looked forward to spending time with her and would come home talking about the activities, learning experiences, and fun they had throughout the day. It was clear that Medina genuinely cared about their wellbeing and development, treating them with patience, kindness, and respect.
As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing my children were in such capable and caring hands. Her communication was excellent, and she always kept me informed about how the boys were doing. Medina has had a very positive influence on my children’s lives, and I will always be grateful for the care and support she provided to our family.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Medina to any parent looking for a trustworthy, professional, and outstanding childminder.

Michelle is a warm and friendly childminder which is why we chose her for our 14 month old. I feel I should warn others that unfortunately one of her cats was not friendly, and we ended up in a&e after a scratch extremely close to our daughter’s eye- so regretfully had to pull her out promptly following discussion with our GP. I would recommend Michelle for an older child who needs less observation, as she is kind and caring with the children she cares for.
I am pleased to provide feedback on the care and support that Jessica Draper provides for our son, Zayn.
Jessica is an incredibly supportive and attentive childminder who clearly prioritises children’s development. She takes a thoughtful and individualised approach to Zayn’s learning, showing a strong understanding of where he is in his developmental journey and how best to support his progress. We feel this is greatly enhanced by her own experience as a parent of three children, which is reflected in her confidence, patience, and natural ability to nurture and guide young children.
The activities and resources she provides are of a very high standard. Her educational toys and planned activities are engaging, age-appropriate, and clearly designed to encourage learning through play. We have seen a positive impact on Zayn’s development since being in her care.
Jessica also places great importance on outdoor learning. She regularly takes the children outside, allowing them to explore, stay active, and learn in different environments. This balance between indoor and outdoor activities is something we value highly.
Communication is another key strength. Jessica keeps us well-informed throughout the day, providing updates on Zayn’s mood, wellbeing, and any concerns (for example, if he is teething or not feeling 100%). She also shares photos, which is reassuring and helps us feel connected to his daily experiences.
Overall, we are extremely happy with the care Jessica provides. She creates a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where Zayn is clearly happy, supported, and thriving.
Ushama is really kind humble positive attitude person who takes good care of my kid and I am confident to trust my child in her hands . She is reliable and flexible and also understanding to my needs .I am very happy and content with her service.

My son started with Louise June 2024 he settled in instantly and was comfortable with Louise hands out to her no problem and was a struggle to get him to come home 🫣 he wanted to stay with her so I knew straight away he was in the best hands and she knew how nerve racking it was for me to leave him she sent me photos of him settling in and that put my mind at rest and she kept me updated with all the information I needed my son has developed so much sense being with Louise he does loads of activities his speech has improved massively and Louise and Lloyd are always taking him out to burn off his energy nice to see him out instead of being kept inside doing all sorts of activities zoo visits, soft play, library visits, play groups you name it Louise and Lloyd go to anything they can to keep my son entertained I can not recommend Louise and Lloyd enough to anyone who would ask these guys are the childminders you need that give our children the love and attention.
My daughter has now started with them also and she is thriving I didn’t have that nervous feeling like I did with my son as I saw how amazing they both are and knew my daughter would be well looked after and I’m happy to have both my children together with them words can not explain how warm and comforting it feels to leave my children there knowing they are safe and well looked after thank you so much and I will continue to use Louise and Lloyd until my children no longer need the care anymore.
I am extremely happy with the care and support Theodora has provided for my son Ackairo. Since being in her care I have seen a huge improvement in his confidence, communication, and overall development. Theodora creates a warm, safe, and nurturing environment and Ackairo is always happy and excited to attend. Her dedication and genuine care gives me complete peace of mind and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and professional childminder.
My son is almost two now and has been going to Lucy’s for over a year and he absolutely loves it. They’re constantly going to local parks, play groups, sensory rooms and so much more during the week and she’s so focused on accelerating key learning stages during development, like walking and talking. He is always coming back with new words his obsessed with. Lucy is also an absolute pleasure to deal with. I’d highly recommend!
Saskia babysat our son while we went to a concert. She brought toys and games and snacks to our hotel and gained an immediate rapport with him. He had a lot of fun with her playing games, reading books, and he was engaged and productive! She is a lot of fun and really connected with him.
Saskia is very personable and friendly, and it was obvious that she has had a great deal of experience with children.
We endorse her 100% without reservation!
Our son has now been going to Lucy’s for 6 months. He has autism and currently non verbal so we were anxious to leave him with anyone. I now do not ever have that worry.
Arlo absolutely loves it at Lucy’s, she is literally like another parent to him and it really is his home away from home. He is so comfortable and content which for me means more than anything.
He gets excited to go and actually gets the hump sometimes when he has to leave. Lucy is so caring and treats Arlo like her own. She keeps me updated on the days he’s in about how he is and how his day is going and sends the cutest pics of him having the best time!
He has improved so much with his development and communication. Lucy always goes above and beyond to meet Arlo’s needs and will help wherever she can. He has got a beautiful bond with Lucy and that’s all we ever want is for our children to be happy and safe when they are not with us.
Not only does Lucy have a beautiful and clean home she also has an amazing garden which Arlo LOVES! He gets to explore and have so much fun whilst being safe.
What I love so much about Lucy is that she lets the children who she cares for be who they want to be.
I honestly can’t thank Lucy enough, we were so lucky to find her and I know there is nowhere else I would want Arlo to go.
