My little boy Shyam has been with Carol for around for 4 months and we couldnât be more happier with how he has settled in, as well as the relationship he has developed with her.
With no family support, I was struggling with work/house work and so a child minder was something we wanted for a short period before Shyam started nursery - Carol has been very flexible with us given our contract with her is a short one, she has been supportive in giving us tips on what we can do with Shyam in certain aspect of his routine and we have instantly bonded with her because of her very kind and friendly nature. Her communication is excellent and we get responses back in a very good time.
I would highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for child care. She has a lovely set up of toys, but also takes Shyam (and the other children) to various playgroups.
As a Mum who has been home with her child for 18-20 months prior, I felt immense guilt leaving Shyam in childcare, but Carol reassured me that it was not only good for his development, but good for me to have a little bit of a break too.
From the minute we started with Carol we have had no issues and there is common kindness and respect between us.
Shyam will miss Carol when he starts nursery, but because of the bond they have Iâm sure he will still see her on his non nursery days.

My son has been with Olga for about 8 months now and it has massively improved our family life in general! I never have to worry about him while Iâm at work because I know how well he is being taken care of. He has learnt so much from her and her daughter Lucy, and often says or does things at home that I can tell are their good influence! Her house is clean, well-organised with lots of interesting toys and books. Communication is excellent. Iâm so pleased we found them!

I remember reading these reviews ~3 years ago when we were deciding between a childminder and a nursery and thinking âhow good can it be?â.
WellâŚ. Better than you can ever imagine. Our son has completely thrived with Samiya and her team. One of our favourite things is that the children are out and about every day - parks, playgrounds, playgroups, THE TATE MODERN(!!!), Chinatown, libraries, splash parks in the summer. Samiya knows each child inside and out as individuals and how they interact within the group setting.
I just canât describe how lucky we feel having met Samiya and her amazing team, he is so well looked after. We were planning to stay in London for just a few months after starting our son before moving home to Ireland but weâve delayed the move a few times now because we just couldnât not bear the thought of leaving her. Now that we are moving back to Ireland, I donât actually know how we / our son will cope in a different setting and I wish so badly he could stay with her until he starts school.
We have no family in London but our son certainly has a big family in Samiyas. She is the only person besides our parents who have had him for an overnight since he was born. He just loves it there so much.
Our friends with children of exact same age in nursery always comment on excellent language and behaviour too. Itâs not âjustâ a childminders, they learn so much there. From biodiversity week, to reading and love for books and love of animals. I could go on and on. If youâre reading this review just go and meet Samiya and the rest will speak for itself. You wonât regret it!
Our little girl Arabella has been with Angela and Cam for over a year now and we are so thankful to them. They love and care for her so well and send lovely pictures and videos of days out and what sheâs learning. It feels like taking her to the house of loving aunties as they cherish and care for her so much.
We are so pleased with how sheâs developing and the specific feedback and care that she receives. She could go to nursery but she wouldnât get the individual love and attention that she receives with them.
Communication has been pretty good along the way with various changes and so on but they are very friendly and approachable so weâve not had any issues on that front.
The food is all freshly cooked on site and they stay away from processed stuff.
We travel 15-20 mins each morning and afternoon to drop our little one off to them, such is the quality of care she receives.
If youâre looking for a kind, helpful and loving place to take your little one this is ideal and we would highly recommend them!

Our child has been with Amy for almost a full year now, and we have seen him grow in so many ways since he first started. Amy has been instrumental in building our childâs confidence, language, and understanding. Along with help from his little friends, he has come on leaps and bounds. We have found a home-from-home setting with Amy, which is exactly what we were looking for. Our child adores Amy and his little friends, he feels safe and happy in Amyâs care, and we feel so lucky every day that we found Amy and our child is in her care. She attends to not only our childâs, but also our needs too, which we are so incredibly grateful for.
Weâve only been with our childminder for a few months, but itâs already clear we made a great choice. She always comes up with engaging, age-appropriate activities, and my child comes home every day excited to tell us what they did. Communication is excellent, she keeps us updated regularly and always lets us know how the day went. Sheâs also been really flexible with our schedule, which has made a big difference given how unpredictable our work hours can be. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her. Highly recommend , five stars, and weâre looking forward to continuing with her for a long time.

We couldn't have asked for a better babysitter. She stayed overnight for us on several occasions and was consistently reliable, professional, and incredibly caring. She is fully qualified, all the necessary checks were completed, and from the very beginning she gave us complete confidence that our children were in safe hands.
She was absolutely brilliant with the children, especially during some particularly challenging periods for our family. Her patience, kindness, and calm approach made a genuine difference, and the children always felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her company.
Knowing they were with someone so trustworthy gave us real peace of mind. I genuinely can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and highly capable childcare professional.

Alpana is highly skilled and trained to care after little ones, in both their emotional and physical wellbeing, thanks to her training as an Omeopathic doctor (among the rest of her certifications) But above all she is a wonderful, sweet and bubbly person, always with a smile on her face.
Both my daughters absolutely love her, I couldnât recommend her highly enough!!
Amran tutors our son who is in year 2 and she is absolutely fantastic! We have already notice such a positive improvement in his knowledge and understanding of Maths and English. Amran is a qualified teacher and has a great approach with our son. She is attentive and she has a positive growth mindset approach to teaching. Our son very much looks forward to the weekly sessions. Would highly recommend!
We can't recommend Olga highly enough. From Dani's very first day with her in February 2026 (he was 1yro), she made both him and us feel completely at ease.
Olga's home-cooked meals were a highlight every single day, always varied, healthy, and clearly made with real care, which helped Dani develop such a healthy appetite and love of trying new foods. It was also brilliant that nappies were included, taking one more thing off our plate as busy parents.
The activities Olga planned were fantastic. From sensory play with sand, rice, and pasta, to music sessions, DUPLO building, and imaginative play with his baby dolls, Dani was constantly engaged and learning. He loved being taken out and about in her fun 4-seat pram, spotting dogs, birds, and planes along the way, you could really see how much he looked forward to those outings.
What stood out most was how well Olga supported Dani through his settling-in period, gently helping him grow from a clingy, unsure toddler into a confident little boy who happily waved goodbye at drop-off. Her daily updates were a huge reassurance for me and my husband, we always knew exactly what he'd eaten, how he'd napped, and what new things he'd discovered that day, which made being away from him so much easier.
Olga is patient, warm, and genuinely invested in every child's development. We are so grateful for the care she gave Dani and would recommend her without hesitation to any family.

Modestine was amazing with our little baby and we couldnât recommended her more highly.
She brought warmth, attentiveness, energy and genuine expertise every day she looked after M. She was an incredible help with both baby and mum, very trustworthy and communicative throughout her times with us.
Caz has looked after my granddaughter for nearly a year now. She is warm and friendly and fantastic with the children. Her home setting is beautiful and has lots of different toys for the children. They do great projects every day. My favourite thing is when they take the children out for walks. We get pictures and a daily update of what they have done. My granddaughter settled very quick and never really wants to leave đ
We have had lots of useful ideas from
Caz about sleeping. Teeth brushing. Potty training. She is very helpful.
Definitely the best childminder I have ever come across
As a nervous mam who hasnât trusted anyone with my kids since theyâve been born Jamie really put me at ease went above and beyond to make myself and my kids comfortable. They were instantly comfortable with her. Sheâs reliable, very easy to communicate with and is a super nanny for sure. She was happy to show qualifications references DBS etc. Her skill set and presence goes above and beyond. Will keep her around for a long time for sure

We started our child with Sadika at 20 months and it has been the best choice we could have made. Sadikaâs home is warm and nurturing. The children learn practical skills (counting/letters, asking questions, putting on/taking off shoes, etc), and are absolutely adored by Sadika and Ama. I also think my child eats better at her house than at ours! The children are friends and have their own little community where they learn about each othersâ families, cultures, and communities. We are so pleased with our decision to send our child to Sadika and would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a childminder.
Leaving my son with anyone for the first time was such a big thing for me, especially as he started at 8 months and was still breastfeeding. Settling him in definitely wasnât straightforward, but the team were so patient with him (and with me đ). They really took the time to learn what worked for him and never made me feel like he was too much or that I needed to rush the process.
Looking back now, I canât believe how far heâs come. Heâs now 15 months old and absolutely loves coming here. He walks in happy, has built such lovely bonds with everyone, and itâs so nice seeing him excited to go.
Theyâve helped him get into a really good routine and Iâve seen so much development since heâs been here. Itâs such a relief knowing heâs somewhere he feels safe, cared for and genuinely loved.
I think what makes this place different is that they actually care. You can tell they love what they do, and that shows in the way they look after the children and support parents too.
Iâd genuinely recommend them to any parent looking for a childminder or nursery. Thank you for looking after my little boy so well. weâre honestly so grateful. â¤ď¸
My son, Leo, stayed with Miha from
9 months until pre-school and I just cannot recommend her enough! Miha created a wonderful nurturing environment that really felt like a second home. My son built great relationships with the kids in his group, learned a lot and was always happy to be there. Miha is great at every level, communication with parents, nutritious home-made food, engaging activities, play groups and outings, supporting him with big steps such as potty training. If you are lucky to have a space with Miha, no doubt, she is one of the best childminders in the area. I highly recommend her.

We are incredibly grateful to have such a great childminder. From the very beginning, Amy has been warm, caring, reliable, and professional. She creates a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment where our child is happy, settled, and supported.
Our child has grown in confidence and always looks forward to spending time with her. Amy provides a lovely balance of fun, learning, creativity, and routine, and it is clear how much care and thought she puts into each day. Communication is always excellent, and we feel fully reassured knowing our child is in such capable hands.
We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated childminder.
Hayley babysat our 2 year old daughter several times this year and was excellent! We would highly recommend her for babysitting or nannying. Our daughter didnât have a babysitter previously and wasnât used to it, but Hayley handled her really well.
Hayley is very capable, experienced and friendly. Hayleyâs daughter came with her and that helped a lot because the two girls entertained each other.

I would highly recommend Anisha as a childminder. My daughter always enjoys spending time with Anisha and her family and is always happy to go there after school.
My daughter can be quite particular about who she feels comfortable with, so as a parent, I always worry about whether she'll settle in and enjoy herself. That's why it means so much to me to see how happy and comfortable she is with Anisha and her family. She always comes home with a smile and tells me about the fun she's had.
Anisha is kind, caring, and trustworthy, and she provides a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for children. Knowing that my daughter is so happy and well looked after gives me real peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anisha to any family looking for a wonderful childminder.
Peace was an invaluable presence in our home during those critical early months. Her communication was consistently clear, direct, and reassuring. She provided genuinely loving and gentle care for our newborn. Additionally, her practical advice regarding feeding and sleep routines was incredibly helpful to help us adjust as a family. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
