My daughter has been going to Dianne since she was 10 months old and it was honestly the easiest experience ever for us ..
Dianne treats our daughter as if she was one of her own ..
she’s helped us wean our daughter and now helping us to potty train her .. there are never any tears when we drop her off at diannes house infact half the time she doesn’t want to come home !
She takes them to lovely little clubs and special days out to splash parks in the summer and we always know she is safe and looked after :)
Dianne really has been a god send to us we couldn’t be without her now .
Jessie is an excellent professional. She was absolutely top-notch, taking care of our little girl while mom and dad went on a little date. We had a great time and apparently the two of them had a great time too! Our daughter even asked us why we came back so early... and when can we go out again so Jessie can come over. She's very sweet, kind and gentle, and instantly connected with our daughter. We couldn't be happier - thank you, Jessie!

Shekel is the most incredible childminder and our daughter adored going from 8 months old. The learning and engagement level is more like a pre-school, and it was so clear how much she was learning and developing so much faster with Shekel. The one to one learning, small group activities, and whiteboard sessions, combined with the extra activities like pony rides and harrbeeps really do make the care level outstanding. Shekel and all the staff are so loving and wonderful, and sometimes when I went to do pick up my baby didn’t want to leave because she loved Shekel so much. All the updates provided were brilliant for seeing her development, and knowing how she had been all day every day was really helpful. We also loved that she celebrated every culture there, and the birthday parties for each child were mind blowing with how special they were. I couldn’t recommend The Learning Tree more, and anyone who manages to get a space for their child will be so lucky. We miss everyone at Learning Tree so much, and are eternally grateful to Shekel for giving our daughter the best care and start to her education.

My 2 year old has been with Kia for a month now and is absolutely loving it and thriving! She comes home and tells me about her day and what fun she has had with Kia, and asks me every single day when she’s going to her house again next. Kia is absolutely amazing with her and she’s managed to enjoy lovely new experiences with her, like her first zoo trip. Kia goes above and beyond for my little girl and we’ve even decided now even when she does start preschool, to keep her with Kia until she goes to school as well, due to the lovely bond she has with her. Thank you so much Kia xx
We make an hour round trip each morning to travel to Judy as there is no one else we’d rather leave our daughter with.
Our daughter has been outside every single day since being with Judy. Every. Single. Day!! This isn’t something that is forced or a tick box, it’s because Judy genuinely has a thirst for fun and life and shares it with the kids. It’s so incredible to watch.
The stimulation and early learning our daughter gets is fantastic. She’s learnt how to count to 10, and her speech has developed so rapidly as she was a little delayed before.
Judy regularly puts on fun events such as, Space week, Halloween, VE Day to name a few! She always makes it extra special with the smallest of details; balloons, lights, bubble machines, costumes, great food- making her own bespoke outdoor mud kitchen! Just last week she even laminated a certificate and wrote little paragraphs about what they did and enjoyed! My daughter was beaming with pride when we read it together.
Every time each of the children has a birthday, she makes them their own cake, gives them a little present, decorates and they have a little party.
On top of everything else, our daughter comes home immaculate! No more separate nursery clothes.
Previously we were at a larger chain nursery- she’d constant get ill, her clothes were filthy, they’d rarely go outside and her learning was delayed. I’d feel sad picking her up.
Instead, now our daughter has literally cried leaving Judy’s as she’s having such fun!
Judy had given us a special helping hand with our daughter that we can’t thank her enough for. We are very lucky to have found her.

My children absolutely loved going to Jumyea’s! They always came home happy and were excited to go back every single time. It was clear how much fun they had and how well cared for they were — they often wished to go even on their days off! I also really appreciated how Jumyea’s always kept me updated on how their day went, what they did, and how they were feeling. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She provides a safe, loving, and engaging environment — truly a home away from home. Highly recommend to any parent looking for someone who genuinely cares and makes every day enjoyable for the kids!
Kitty looked after my three year old son at short notice at our home and she was really good with him. She got him ready for bed, read a story with him and put him to bed. He had a lovely time with her and they got on well. She also showed me all her safeguarding training from her nursery role. I recommend Kitty as a babysitter.
We’re so happy with the care our son receives from Everyone Childcare. He absolutely loves spending time there. Since being with Sarah and her assistant, we’ve noticed how much he’s developed — he’s learning new things all the time and becoming more confident and independent. The environment is nurturing, fun, and full of activities that really support his growth. We couldn’t ask for a better childminder and feel very lucky to have found Everyone Childcare!
Having arranged Jess to babysit Saturday night both in the app and outside the app, she then didn’t answer my texts or phone call on the day. Not a trustworthy interaction but happy that it didn’t work out in the end. I’d rather my children be looked after someone more trustworthy.
Jane had looked after my two children for over 3 years now. Whilst she may be newly registered, she is extremely experienced and my goodness is she good!
I am a teacher myself so have quite high expectations for childcare settings. My little girl and boy have absolutely thrived there.
I would go to Jane if you want your child to be out and about, on trips, walks and activities rather than in one space all day like a nursery. At Jane’s they go out to the park, or a garden centre and sometimes even the beach every single day. She also meets up with other childminders daily so children are well-socialised with plenty of other kids.
I recommend unreservedly!

Sophie has cared for our son for over three years, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. The only reason we’re leaving is because of a house move and a change of schools, otherwise we’d of stayed with Sophie for many more years.
From the very beginning Sophie has been caring, loving, and nurturing. She provides a warm, homely environment where children feel safe, happy and valued. Our son absolutely adored his time with her and always came home full of smiles and stories.
Sophie goes above and beyond every single day, helping with homework, supporting learning through play, and always taking the time to listen and engage. Sophie always prepares healthy, nutritious meals and encourages good habits in such a gentle, positive way.
We can’t thank Sophie enough for everything she’s done for our family. She has played such a big part in our sons early years, and we’ll miss Sophie dearly. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Sophie as their childminder, she is truly exceptional!
Beccy is warm, extremely child centred and reliable. She is highly attuned to little ones (and especially children with additional needs). She’s been such a support to our family and we are so glad she started working with us. Trust her hugely with my children. She is a rare find!
We cannot recommend Jade highly enough. Jade looked after our daughter Romy from age 1-4, after she originally struggled to settle at another childminder. Jade's gentle, patient, child-led approach was perfect for Romy's needs and she's played a huge role in nurturing Romy's confidence and independence. Jade provided a safe, secure and fun environment for Romy to explore her interests and try new things and she formed close relationships with Jade's family and other children in her care. We loved hearing about their adventures around Bristol and Romy always returned from her days with Jade brimming with joy. We felt very supported by Jade as a family and Jade's communication was always open and empathetic, making time to talk through any concerns or things of note following their day together. We feel very grateful that we found Jade, and we have cherished the time she's spent with us.
I spent months trying to find suitable childcare for my 3 boys aged 5, 8 and 9 - and with one of my boys having ADHD and autism and needing one to one TA's in a school environment, it proved difficult to find a setting/childminder that had the right experience to suit his needs as well as his two brothers altogether and I didn't want to separate them whilst I was working during school holidays. I found Claire on childcare.co.uk and explained what I was looking for. She was very professional from the beginning, understood what I was looking for and also put me at ease with leaving the boys with someone else other than me for the first time in a long time as I was worried about leaving them to work. She booked in dates with me, but also ensured that she came round to meet the children and get to know them beforehand so everyone including the children were comfortable. Her prices are really fair, she is great with all 3 of my boys. I have now had Claire take care of my boys on a good number of occasions, and each time the boys have told me that they have enjoyed having Claire with them and had fun, such as making cakes with her and doing crafts and they love knowing when she is coming round next. I couldn't recommend Claire enough and I am so glad that as a family we have found her! Thanks Claire.
Hired Shamima to look after our two year old, she was great with our son. However she attended less than half of the time, which was hard as it left us with no childcare support with a toddler and a newborn. She always gave an excuse, at least one time we know wasn’t true. Was great when she turned up but ultimately quite unprofessional.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Amanda enough. My little boy has been with her for over two and a half years now, and she has been such an important part of his life. From the moment we first met her, I felt completely at ease — she’s warm, patient, kind and incredibly professional. Every morning when I drop him off, I know he’s in the best hands possible, and that peace of mind is priceless.
Amanda provides such a safe, caring and stimulating environment for the children. She’s so attentive and truly gets to know each child’s personality and needs. My son absolutely loves his days with her — he often asks for Amanda on his days off! It’s a real reflection of how happy and comfortable he feels in her care.
She plans the most wonderful activities, from arts and crafts and imaginative role play, to fun day trips and visits to the library. There’s always something creative and engaging going on. He comes home full of stories about what he’s done and proudly shows me everything he’s made. It’s amazing to see how much he’s learned and developed — from early motor skills to social confidence and all those little milestones that mean so much.
Amanda is also extremely professional and well organised. She keeps me updated about his progress and any little details about his day, which I really appreciate. Knowing she’s fully trained in first aid and experienced in childcare gives me complete peace of mind. It’s clear she takes her role very seriously, while still making every day fun and full of laughter for the children.
We feel so lucky to have found her. She’s not just our childminder — she’s become a special part of our family. I can’t thank her enough for all the love, care and support she’s given my son over the years. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a childminder who genuinely goes above and beyond in every way.
