I rang Ruhama in the early morning looking for an emergency babysitter and she was kindly able to accommodate my son at very short notice. I’m very pleased and impressed with how well my son settled in and the level of care and kindness she showed my son. It is quite evident Ruhama is very experienced and loves children in general. The home environment is also very clean. Ruhama is very friendly and I have already built a good rapport with her. I will definitely be utilising her service again. Thank you x
Gina worked with our family as a babysitter for approximately eleven months, caring for our young children in our home.
During this time, she was very playful and joyful towards the children she was attentive and developed a warm relationship with them. She supported their daily routines and helped with activities such as playtime, reading, and preparing simple meals.
Gina approached her role with a sweet attitude and was open to guidance as she continued to develop her childcare experience. We appreciate the care she provided to our family during her time with us.
We wish her all the best in her future roles.
My daughter has been attending Amy’s setting for almost 2 years and I could not be happier with the time she has spent there.
As I have worked in early years myself for a very long time, I was very selective about where I wanted my daughter to spend her time and who would be caring for her. From that first conversation with Amy, I knew this was the perfect fit. Amy is so passionate about early years and all areas of their development. From the creative activities that are incredibly thought out, to the wonderful days trips they have shared together. My daughter has been given memories and experiences to last a lifetime.
Children are encouraged to express themselves in all ways possible - whether this be getting messy, learning new languages or physically through football clubs or climbing equipment (my daughter’s personal favourite).
To see her thrive over the past two years has been a great happiness to myself and my husband and we are truly grateful to Amy and the whole team for allowing her to do so.

Caroline has been looking after my baby since she was 5 months old (now 11 months) and we’re constantly amazed by how brilliant her childminding service is. My daughter is so happy & at home there, really well looked after and is developing so well in this environment. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Caroline has looked after my one-year old on a number of occasions and he’s always had a lovely time with her. She is very experienced having nannied for many years, as well as raised her own children, so I’ve felt comfortable leaving my son with her. Caroline is very kind with him and also good fun. I’ve also appreciated her punctuality, reliability and flexibility - which have all made my life far easier.

Sarah provides a truly outstanding childcare setting. Our daughter started in September 2025 at 14 months old, and in that time, she has flourished. Sarah plans such varied, engaging activities, from sensory play and messy crafts to frequent outdoor trips, that perfectly support early childhood development. Her focus on nurturing independence while providing a safe, warm and home from home environment has made a massive difference to our daughter's confidence and social skills.
Sarah’s communication is great and she provides detailed daily feedback, which makes being a working parent so much easier. Her genuine love for working with children shines through. Our daughter adores her and watching her run in with a smile on her face each morning, is lovely.
She is a true gem and we wouldn't want anyone else looking after our daughter!
Hi Lesley, I'm so sorry for doing this now!
My daughter joined the Moffats Monkeys at age 2, and she really loved going there to the point that she was never so happy when I went to pick her up. Josie loved spending time with the children, and both Lesley and John showed her so much love and care. I also had a great relationship with them and I was always kept in the loop. What I really loved about Lesley was the fact that she everything she did for the children came from her heart: she was always very patient with Josie, went all the way for them, the activities and games were fun and educative. Josie learned how to read and write her name before she left for reception. She showed confidence in everything she did and still does.
I really recommend The Moffats Monkeys to all parents in the area!
Millfield Montessori Childminding has been absolutely amazing for my children. They are always so happy and excited to go, which says everything as a parent. Dee clearly has such a genuine love and care for the children, and it really shows in everything she does.
In just three months, I’ve already seen such a difference in what they’ve learnt and how they’ve developed. The Montessori approach really shines through, and it’s lovely to see them growing in confidence and independence every day.
I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment. I couldn’t recommend Dee and Millfield Montessori Childminding enough
We are very happy with the care our child receives. She is kind, patient, and very attentive to the children’s needs. The environment is safe, clean, and welcoming, and my child always feels comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring childminder.
We started sending our daughter to Alison when she was 6 months old, she has now just moved on to nursery and is just about to turn 2. We have had the most amazing experience with Alison and I can’t put into words how grateful we are that we found her. Daisy has always come home happy, and had the most wonderful experience in Alison’s setting.
She has learnt so much from Alison and from the other children she interacted with, as well as the weekly music session which she absolutely adored.
Daisy has always been fed well and the communication has also always been excellent. We are so sad to be moving on but hope to return in the future if we have anymore children!

Unfortunately I have to leave a bad review for Erinn. She led me on for weeks making me believe that she would take care of my son who has special needs. We agreed times and fees. Everything was arranged and ready to go. We just had to meet to settle the deal. She never showed up. Then hours later gave me a very far fetched reason why she couldn't make it. Promised to call me back and never did. She has left me in a difficult position.
We are truly grateful for the care, attention, and dedication Joshi provide every day. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is in such a nurturing, safe, and positive environment.
Joshi's patience, kindness, and genuine warmth make a real difference, and we can see how happy and comfortable our child is because of her. Thank you for not just looking after my son, but for supporting his growth and making each day enjoyable.
We deeply appreciate everything Joshi do—it means more to us than words can fully express.
I have sent all my children to be within Clares care as I have nothing but positive experiences. She is professional, yet treats you like family. She loves the children dearly and they all love her back. She is informative, full of knowledge, caring and is outstanding at communication. The children run into Clares home as if they belong there and I could not recommend her enough. She gives them a wide range of play experiences, visits play groups and meets with other childminders to help the children build social skills. She provides some gorgeous lunch time dinners for them too! I really enjoy getting pictures throughout the day with updates on significant moments. We love you Clare!
Sandra is a truly kind, warm, and caring childminder with a wonderfully creative approach. My son absolutely adores her and always looks forward to spending the day with her, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment she provides. She consistently goes above and beyond to make each day engaging and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Sandra highly enough — we are extremely happy with the care and service she offers.

Since moving our daughter from a local nursery over a year ago, we couldn’t be happier with the care Aarthi provides. She is incredibly dedicated and tailors her approach to meet our 3-year-old’s individual needs. We’ve seen a wonderful boost in our daughter’s independence and mathematical literacy during her time there. Aarthi’s updates are always detailed and keep us well-informed about her day. I cannot praise her enough for the supportive and nurturing environment she has created. She is an outstanding childminder, and I highly recommend her setting to any parent.

Clara has cared for our young children (3 and 1 years old) and showed herself to be a kind and nurturing presence.
She formed a wonderful bond with them both and approached her role with love, warmth and care. She is punctual, reliable, and kept us updated on how the children were during the day, which we appreciated.
She very often brought her own resources for our children and took initiative in planning brilliant activities, really nurturing our children’s love of books and imaginative play.
We are so grateful for the time she spent with our family. We wish her every success going forward.

Toni has cared for our daughter, 10, on many occasions over the past five years, including both schedules regular childcare and short notice / during emergencies, and has consistently proven herself to be reliable, calm, and highly capable. We have always felt confident leaving our daughter in her care, knowing she will be safe, supported, be well looked after and most importantly have a really fun time.
Through her professional experience in her day job, Toni brings valuable knowledge and practical skills to her childcare. This experience is especially evident in the way she manages and supports our daughter’s additional needs. She is attentive, patient, and adaptable, and takes the time to understand what our child needs to feel comfortable and settled.
Toni is empathetic and genuinely child-focused. She has built a lovely positive, trusting relationship and always prioritises our daughter’s wellbeing. She communicates clearly with us, follows routines carefully, and responds thoughtfully to any challenges that arise.
We would not hesitate to recommend Toni as a childminder. She has been an enormous support to our family, and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have had her care for our daughter.
Mia has been looking after my son for the past 5 months now and I honestly can’t quantify how amazing she is. Her patience, attention to detail and genuine love for children translates in everything she does.
She always makes sure to send daily updates on how my son is doing, encourages his independence and curiosity. I’ve noticed my son’s confidence has grown tremendously since attending the setting.
What I love the most about the setting is how hygiene-conscious they all are. Every child’s bag has its own allocated space, the floor is hovered and clean no matter what time you come in.
Mia is always happy to make accommodation for us where she can and never makes us feel like she’s just “doing a job”
I am super grateful for them and happy with their service.

Jo has been a wonderful part of our family for 2.5 years, caring for our twins from 8 months to preschool age. She is loving, nurturing, and incredibly reliable — the kids wake up excited for “Jo day” every time! She plans enriching activities, takes the children to different playgroups, parks, or even to feed the ducks, and encourages learning through reading, counting, and music. Jo thoughtfully supports their independence, including mealtimes, and always selects age-appropriate toys they love. She has been punctual, rarely takes unplanned days off, and adapts beautifully as the children grow. Even in quiet moments, she helps around the house, showing her thoughtfulness and dedication. The children adore her, and we truly consider her part of our family. We cannot recommend Jo highly enough!
