Oh my goodness where to begin. Where would we be without the wonderful Vicky. She has been in our lives for over four years and has truly become a member of our family. Caring for our daughter and then our son, she has nurtured, cared, loved, encouraged and supported both of them in every aspect of their development. Vicky has a patience and understanding that children are drawn to. She gives them time and space to explore and often tailors her days around the children’s likes and interests. Both my children have absolutely loved their time with Vicky and if it wasn’t for school they would still be there! We miss her terribly! I would highly recommend her service and if you’re lucky enough to get a spot I would take it, your children will be so happy, safe and loved just like ours have been!
My child started at Shekel's Learning Tree when she was around 10 months old and settled in very quickly.
From my very first meeting with Shekel, I felt completely at ease and confident that my child would be safe, cared for, and happy in her setting.
From what I have observed, my child is always happy when I collect her. It often feels as though she is telling me all about her day in baby language, chatting nonstop, laughing, and smiling all the way home after pick-up. That alone tells me she has had a wonderful day.
She is always well fed. In both the photos I receive and at pick-up, she always looks content with a full tummy. My child is not yet able to feed herself properly, so knowing that someone is taking the time, patience, and care to make sure she eats well means so much to me.
Her nappy is never saggy at pick-up or in any of the photos, which shows that her needs are attended to promptly and consistently throughout the day.
Overall, Shekel's Learning Tree is amazing. The care, attention, and love shown to the children are clear to see, and I would highly recommend Shekel to any parent looking for a caring, trustworthy, and nurturing childminder.
My son has been attending here for over a year now and will be continuing until he reaches school as he has hit every developmental milestone and has a fantastic time in Marzena’s care.
Previously unhappy with another childminder we chose Marzena and haven’t looked back since, she has absolutely exceeded our expectations.
Where he was a fussy eater previously that is no longer happening, supported us with potty training when we asked and they have such a loving relationship with one another.
Highly recommended
Our eldest daughter attended Elm house from 11 months until 4 years old and our youngest is there now. Over the past 5 years we have been so impressed by how well ran the nursery is and how much the staff care for the children. The outdoor gardens are a huge plus and the children get to spend a lot of time in these areas which is fantastic.
Our 3rd baby has recently started nursery at Elm house. We couldn't recommend the nursery more, the staff feel like part of our family, they are continuously, kind, supportive, caring, trusting. Outdoor play is a brilliant part of the nursery with amazing outdoor space. 100% recommend anyone viewing this nursery for a nuturing environment for their little ones. The management team are equally amazing and caring, all the staff make a brilliant team. Having a very nervous little girl and a very boisturus little boy previously they support every childs needs like the pros they are!
Sam really was brilliant, she had our older two boys from the age of 6weeks for four days a week, she is very personable and great with the kids, who really enjoyed going to her. They were always going out and doing things and also creative activities which they loved. I would highly recommend Sam.
My son currently goes to the preschool here and has been at the nursery since 11 months, he absolutely loves it! The staff that have worked with my son have been fantastic, they have supported him and if ever there has been an issue, the manger Lynsey has always sorted them out straight away. I am grateful that my son is in a place where the care and support is wonderful! I have my second son starting next year due to feel calm and knowing he will be in a safe environment. Thank you Elm house!
Our daughter had started with Happy House Childcare (HHC) just before her first birthday and coming up to her fourth birthday, i can say she has enjoyed every day! HHC has always looked after her well and made sure she is entertained. The children at HHC all seem happy and well behaved which i believe is a good representation of how they are treated at the childcare. Our daughter has made many great friends through HHC and has prepared her so well that shes grown into a lovely character of a child who is already prepared for school (in her mind). The care that HHC has taken with our daughter to nurture her needs throughout the years has also been above expectations. HHC is a truly adored part of our family dynamic. Almost wish our daughter would stop aging so she could continue going forever!
She made me worry free with my 4 year old son. She bonded with him in the very first meeting though he’s a bit shy kind with new people. School pickup, homework, food, art activities, playing she took care of everything and made sure he was very comfortable. She’s an excellent nanny. I highly recommend her services if you want someone to take care of your kid like a family member.
My children have been going to Michaela’s for more than 3 years now. My son has attended after school club a few times but really doesn’t like it at all. He absolutely LOVES Michaela’s house! He is always really sad to leave at the end of the day and often reminds me not to collect him before time! Michaela’s home really is a home away from home for my children and they thoroughly enjoy attending! As a previous home ed mum, it was quite daunting for me to leave my children with a childminder. However, Michaela made me feel completely at ease and my children were extremely happy very quickly! In 3 years, I’ve never had to raise any issues with Michaela which is wonderful as my mind is at ease when my children are with her.
MY twin babies absolutely love this place, everybody are so lovely and professional!the house is spacious ,clean and cosy, lots of activities to do !!
We are very lucky to have found Florence and her stafI can't stop to thank them!!
I had a lovely experience with her and found her to be very kind, trustworthy, reliable, and genuine. From our conversations, I felt completely comfortable with her and had every confidence that she would have been wonderful with my family.
I would genuinely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable nanny. I was very impressed by her and would have been happy to have her help my family.
Emma is very experienced and knowledgeable, always cares about and puts the children in her care first. My daughter has settled really well with Emma she now looks forward to the variety of activities and experiences that Emma provides and the warm welcome every time to the setting.
We cannot recommend Charley highly enough. Our child was with her from the age of 9 months, initially part-time and later full-time, and she continued to support us through the early school years with school drop-offs and pick-ups.
From the very beginning, our child formed a strong bond with Charley and genuinely loved spending time with her. It was reassuring to know that they were in such caring and capable hands. Charley is kind, gentle, calm and incredibly patient. She treats every child with respect and takes the time to understand and respond to their individual needs.
What makes Charley particularly special is the warm and fun environment she creates. She has a great sense of humour, is always up for a laugh, and makes every day enjoyable for the children in her care. She also organised lovely outings, including trips to Wandlebury and visits to Scottsdales to see the Christmas lights, which our child always looked forward to.
Charley has always been exceptionally responsive, reliable and willing to help whenever needed. As parents, we greatly appreciated her flexibility, communication and genuine care for our child’s wellbeing and development.
We feel very fortunate to have had Charley as such an important part of our child's early years and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, dependable and engaging childminder.
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful childminder for our son, Theo. From the very beginning, Bec cared for him with so much love, kindness and patience, and genuinely made him feel like one of her own.
Over the past 6 months, we’ve watched his confidence grow so much. She has encouraged him to try new things while always giving him the reassurance he needs, and she has created such a warm, safe and happy environment for him.
Bec has made so many special memories with Theo, from all their little adventures to his love of toy stories, ice cream and all the activities they’ve done together. She knows him so well and has always understood his little quirks and personality.
It means so much to us that Theo has been so loved and cared for, and we will always be grateful to Bec for everything she has done for him. She was our first childminder and will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️
We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for Evie. From the very beginning, she was looked after with so much kindness, care and love, and it was clear how happy and settled she was.
Every day was filled with lovely activities and adventures, including so many walks and time outdoors. Evie learned so much during her time there, while also making some really lovely friendships along the way.
One of our favourite things was seeing just how excited Evie was to go. She would literally cheer in the car as we drove down the road towards the Tracy and Matt's house! Knowing that she was so happy when she was there gave us such peace of mind.
Tracy and Matt have played such a special part in Evie’s early years and have given her the most wonderful start. We will always be so grateful for all the care, patience and love they have shown her. We truly couldn’t have wished for better and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a warm, caring and nurturing home-from-home for their child.
