My toddler fell in love with Tara instantly. She has a very positive vibe, and is very caring. When she is babysitting I know my child will get good quality of time, playing, dancing, reading books, with lots of laughs and giggles. She is also punctuate and reliable. Highly recommended

Brockley Bees Child Care has been an incredibly trustworthy and dependable service provider for our family. My son has been in their care for 4–5 years, and during that time they have consistently shown exceptional kindness, patience, and professionalism. The team goes above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged.
What stands out most is how genuinely caring they are. They don’t just look after the children, they nurture them, guide them, and celebrate their growth in a way that feels truly personal. Over the years, they’ve become so much more than a childcare service to us. Their warmth, dedication, and constant support have made them feel like an extension of our own family.
I am incredibly grateful for everything they have done for my son, and i couldn’t imagine a better place for him to learn, grow, and be cared for.
Adel was very easy to interact with and took the time to find out about both my children before she was going to look after them. Adel arrived on time and was amazing with my children and was able to follow bedtime routines and settle my youngest with Send needs into bed easily. She kept us reassured when we were out with updates too. Really lovely person.
Agnieszka is a highly recommended caregiver, distinguished by her warmth and professionalism. She effectively maintained a stable daily routine while ensuring developmental stimulation for the child. Her responsibility and proactivity meant we always felt completely at peace. Furthermore, she maintains open and detailed communication with parents
We feel incredibly happy and grateful to have Lucy as our daughter’s childminder. Her home is always exceptionally tidy, clean, and hygienic, providing a very safe environment for little ones. My daughter has enjoyed every single day with her.
Lucy is a very kind and polite lady, and she also cooks wonderful meals, you can sometimes smell how delicious the food is at pick-up time! The children absolutely adore her. We also appreciate the phonics sessions she provides, which have been really helpful for my daughter’s learning.
Overall, we couldn’t be more pleased with the care Lucy offers. We feel very lucky to have her.
Mark came over to help me look after my son.
During my pregnancy I have been dealing with hyperemesis and pelvic girdle. This means I'm not always able to be fun for my 4 year old.
We have only had Mark here once, however he was really good with my son. My son got on really well with him, he was able to keep him very entertained while I was making dinner. This made the evening easier and helped remove screen time. He was great at encouraging my son to eat his dinner as we battled the daily dinner eating challenge.
We would recommend Mark if your child requires a lot of activities, energy and engagement.
If I need someone to help me look after Charlie, I will book again 🙂

We were lucky enough to find Ati for my first son and the love, care, experiences and enrichment he got was the best start to life and it was a no brained for our second son to go there. He is now in nursery and keeps asking to go back to her setting. Ati and her team are beyond amazing, I am so grateful and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. The love, care, warmth, teaching, variety of outings, experiences, the food they cook, their flexibility, I could go on. Just amazing.
My daughter has been with Monika for the past year, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she has received. From day one, Monika has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. She creates such a positive and nurturing environment, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after.
Over the past year, my daughter has learnt so much and has really come along beautifully in her confidence, independence, and development. It’s been wonderful to see how excited she is to go each day 🥰
I’m so grateful for all the support, kindness, and hard work Monika puts in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and reliable childminder.

Aurielle has babysat for my son on several occasions, and I have always found her to be exceptionally reliable and trustworthy. She has a lovely, bubbly personality that instantly puts children at ease, and she approaches her responsibilities with genuine care and professionalism. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a dependable and warm-hearted babysitter.
Caron is an amazing childminder - she goes above and beyond to make sure the children get an all round experience - this includes going out to parks, forests, zoos, playgrounds and forest school. When at home they do arts and crafts and my son always leaves with a smile on his face. Caron is also very easy to talk to and very communicative about any issues if they arise. Couldnt recommend more

We moved to Leamington in November 2024 and, in truth, Melissa was the only available option to provide childcare for our youngest (then 1.5 year old). The situation made it a gamble we were initially nervous about, but we felt hopeful after speaking with Melissa over the phone and visiting her lovely home shortly after we moved. Within a matter of days, we realised just how lucky we were that Melissa had an available space for our little one! He took no time at all to settle in and now runs into her home and doesn't even look back to say bye to us.
Melissa's home is an idyllic setting with a large open-plan space with free access into her garden. For us, easy access to the outdoors was really important, and so this was a big plus. Her home is set in the countryside with lovely nature and animals (dog, cats, rabbits, fish and even some horses next door!). We also appreciate the great structure she provides, with varied daily activities and regular outings to local parks and groups.
It is so evident that Melissa loves her job. She is thoughtful and goes above and beyond for the children in her care. An example of this was when she learned that our little one speaks another language. Melissa went out of her way to learn key words in Gujarati, she bought a Gujarati book to read to him, and she even subscribed herself onto a course to help her work with children who speak English as a second language. This goes to show the passion that she has for child development and how much she genuinely cares for his progress. Finally, her communication is fantastic; we receive regular, detailed updates and photos that truly make us feel connected to his day.
In summary, Melissa is a phenomenal childminder (even our 4 year old asks us regularly when he can go to Melissa's!!). We feel completely confident and at ease leaving our child in her care, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and professional childcare setting.

We’ve been using the Abington Annexe setting since 2013 for both of our children, and it has been consistently excellent. The staff are great, always kind and caring. They keep the children happy, engaged, and excited to go back. Kids can play outside or stay indoors with a lot of games like the football table. My little one just learned a bit of piano there, just playing it with his friends... Very nice food too.
Kayleigh has been reliable and consistent throughout, she has been a great help to My 3 year old Daughter who now especially looks forward to when she has her days with 'Auntie Kay Kay'. were she is able to . My Daughter enjoys her time with playgroup and days out with Kayleigh. She always has many stories to tell about her 'busy day' meeting new friends and the many activities that she is always partaking in. Wether it may be her day petting animals at a farm or how much fun she had at a play centre. She is always kept occupied and this shows as her personal development has improved massively since she has been with Kayleigh.
I cannot recommend this setting highly enough. The staff are truly kind, caring, and considerate, always going above and beyond to ensure that every child feels valued and supported. What stands out most is the individual attention they give—each child is treated as a unique person, with their needs and interests carefully nurtured.
The setting itself is safe and secure, located within the village school grounds, which gives parents peace of mind knowing their children are in a familiar and protected environment. The club is seamlessly integrated into the local community, fostering a real sense of belonging and connection. Children not only enjoy fun and engaging activities, but they also build friendships and confidence in a space that feels welcoming and inclusive.
The same goes for the holiday club, which runs throughout the school holidays. With endless possibilities of activities, children are kept entertained and inspired every day. From daily swimming, magicians, giant inflatable days and BMX skill sessions just to name a few, the holiday club offers a vibrant mix of fun, adventure, and creativity.
It’s clear that the team genuinely cares about the wellbeing and happiness of the children. Their dedication creates a positive atmosphere where kids thrive, and parents can feel reassured. This club is a wonderful asset to the community, and I’m grateful for the exceptional care they provide.
Freya has been a wonderful tutor for my son, who has SEN needs and learns best through play and conversation. She is incredibly patient, kind, and caring, always taking the time to understand what he needs and adapting her approach to suit him. My son feels comfortable and engaged during every session, and it’s clear that Freya genuinely cares about his progress and wellbeing. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a thoughtful and dedicated tutor.
Shabana is a kind and caring person who has been great at looking after our 3 months old baby. I was apprehensive about leaving him at such a young age to return to work but having Shabana made the transition so much easier. She gets stuck in with playing and singing which our baby loves! She also gives regular video/ photo updates which is helpful too. She always has a smile on her face and is a joy to be around :)
We will definitely be using her services again! Thank you so much Shabana x

Abington Annexe is a wonderful community childcare setting. My son attends the after-school club and absolutely loves it. The staff are kind, caring, and really know the children well. The environment feels welcoming and safe, and it’s clear how much effort goes into creating a nurturing atmosphere for all ages. We’re really lucky to have this setting in the village.
