Not only was leshas professionalism in caring for my son exemplary, she was an absolute legend and friend and so chilled and patient with my little boy who is autistic that it made my night so much better , she was bubbly fun and positive and organised and my son loved her!
Chloe has been wonderful with our little one- initially helping us when they were ill at 1 years old during work hours and then covering childcare on Fridays over the next year. She is very child focused - very professional yet also very warm, generous, helpful and flexible and became much loved by our baby. It was lovely to know our little girl was with someone she was so comfortable with and who we knew we could trust, would put our little one's needs first and would keep us really informed of how her day had been. We and our girl were very sorry to have to end our weekly time with her and we would be confident to recommend her to other parents.
We cannot recommend Liam highly enough! During his time working with us as an Assistant Childminder and Deputy Manager, he was absolutely fantastic with the children. He was caring, patient, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about supporting their development and wellbeing. He is warm, enthusiastic and caring, with a wonderfully positive outlook on life. He always brought a smile and a sense of fun to each day, engaging the children wholeheartedly in all the activities we did together.
Liam is also an exceptionally talented musician, and music time was always a particularly special part of his work with the children. He taught them songs, encouraged them to participate and helped nurture their confidence, creativity and developing musical skills in such a natural and enjoyable way.
Liam is a genuinely wonderful person to be around. His kindness, enthusiasm and positive energy made him a valued part of our childcare setting, and the children loved spending time with him. We would highly recommend him to any future employer and feel very lucky to have had him work with us. He truly is one of a kind.
We were moving house in a process that became very delayed. We lost our nursery space in the area as a result and were panicking about what to do. We feel so lucky to have found Minu who has cared for our 10 month old daughter over the past month.
When we visited for the first time, we immediately felt comfortable in Minu's home and our daughter clearly felt comfortable with her. The care she has had has been fantastic. This is the first time we have left our daughter with anyone else, so we were quite anxious. Minu sent us pictures and videos to show how our daughter was getting on throughout the day. She also cooked our daughter tasty and nutritious food, which has given us ideas for things we can try at home. Minu has also allowed us to have a contract that caters for our circumstances in which we do not know if each week would be our last.
Seeing our daughter smiling while having such a positive experience has given us a lot of reassurance over a stressful period. We could not have asked for anything more and we cannot recommend Minu highly enough.
Since our son started in September, we’ve had a really lovely and positive experience with Vikki and the team. Her personal approach makes a real difference and there’s always plenty of communication, which gives us great peace of mind. Our little one has settled in really quickly and is always made to feel comfortable and welcome. He beams at the doorbell every morning! Vikki has also been really accommodating when we’ve asked about his diet and naps which is so appreciated. We’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive and personal childminder.
We have been using Claire’s services for around a month now and our daughter has settled into the setting very well, Claire is extremely kind and welcoming and her setting is a lovely small calming space which our daughter loves. Claire updates us throughout the day which is reassuring and sends lovely photos of nice moments through the day. Would highly recommend 😊

I honestly cannot recommend Jackie highly enough! Finding someone you trust to look after your little one is such a big thing, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so wonderful.
The love, kindness, patience and care she shows Ella is everything you could wish for as a parent. It is so reassuring knowing that Ella is not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely happy, loved and nurtured every single day.
The time, effort and thought that goes into everything she does is amazing. From the lovely activities and experiences to all the little touches that make each day special, it is so clear how much she cares about the children.
Watching Ella grow in confidence, learn new things and develop such a lovely bond with her childminder has been wonderful. There really is no better feeling than knowing your child is excited to go and comes home happy.
Jackie is so much more than just a childminder. She provides a warm, loving, home-from-home environment where children can truly thrive.
Thank you for everything you do for Ella. We appreciate you more than words can say, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have you looking after their little one. ❤️
An absolute gem, and we couldn’t recommend her more!
Amber is kind, caring, extremely reliable, fun and bubbly. She provides the children with a good mix of days out and activities at home, keeps us up to date with how his day has been at handover and communication has always been fantastic. I never feel the need to worry and check in when he is in Ambers care! My son has been with Amber for the last 18 months and we couldn't of asked for more than Amber gives, our little boy adores her and her family, we'll be sad when the day comes for us to move on. Would highly recommend Ambers setting if your looking for a safe, welcoming and enriching environment for your child.
Kate babysat our young baby and it was such a pleasure. She has so much experience and such a calm, friendly manner. It was complete peace of mind leaving him with Kate, he was smiling at her upon our departure and we could enjoy the evening knowing he was in safe hands. We will definitely be using Kate in the future and would recommend her to other mothers.
Emma has looked after our youngest son for the past year and a half, and he’s now a happy, confident two-year-old who has built such a lovely bond with her.
She also cared for our older son when he was one, so choosing her again was a no-brainer for us as a family. Emma is flexible, professional and friendly, and her home is welcoming and full of opportunities to learn and play. The children are always kept busy with varied activities and encouraged to try new things.
We’ve had such a positive experience with both boys and would highly recommend Emma to any family looking for a caring, reliable childminder.

I don't think there are enough stars to give Jackie!
My daughter (I) had been with Jackie since she was 11months old she's now 2 and half. She loves going to Jackie's, we never want to give Jackie up, even though my daughter has started another setting I still keep her 2 days a week with Jackie because she loves it there so much and Jackie gives each child the support they need, they're always engaged whether that's doing learning, crafts, playing spending time in the garden and doing treasure hunts. My daughter is excited to to go there, she's made lovely friends and come on leaps and bounds, if I could go back to the beginning and find Jackie sooner I would have done so for my older son!
Jackie has been super supportive to us as a family when going through some difficult health issues with our child and has had my daughter for longer or changed days so we could attend hospital appointments.
We get WhatsApp photos every day which is a great comfort to see what your little one is up to and Jackie is always quick to respond or let you know about anything.
Jackie's costings are really reasonable considering the service she offers, so nab a space whilst you can, you won't regret it!
We cannot recommend Kinga highly enough! She is absolutely outstanding and has been such a wonderful, caring and positive influence on our child. From day one, she has made us feel completely at ease, knowing our daughter is safe, happy and so well looked after.
She goes above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing and fun environment, always coming up with lovely activities, outings in the local area and opportunities for learning and development. Her patience, kindness, dedication and genuine love for what she does shine through every single day. She meets with other childminders to provide larger group experiences and build on the children’s social skills.
The communication is fantastic, and we always feel reassured and included in our child's day. It is clear how much time, effort and thought she puts into everything she does.
Finding someone you can trust with is priceless, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Thank you for everything you do. We honestly couldn't ask for a better childminder and would recommend her to any family without hesitation! ❤️
Martina has been helping my family look after our 3 year old daughter for over six months. She is reliable, patient, full of character and personable. She has been so helpful taking and picking our daughter from nursery and caring for her after hours - she's became an invaluable part of our support network here in London.
Lisa has cared for our little one for the last 2 years - and they have had such a wonderful time with her.
Lisa creates such a wonderful environment of learning and play complete with wonderful home cooked meals and hand crafted projects, which our little one always comes home with full of pride! Not to mention the amazing garden! It has truly been a home away from home.
Our next phase of nursery now looming, but will definitely be requesting the babysitting services!!
Thank you so much Lisa xxx
Paula provided support for my family as a night doula the first month after my kid was born. She was very thoughtful and helped us navigating the newborn phase. We really appreciated her help, and can recommend!
I can genuinely say that Kinga is an exceptional childminder, and the care she provides is second to none. My youngest daughter was in her full-time care for over two years, and she still attends during the school holidays alongside her 10-year-old big sister. Going to Kinga’s is the absolute highlight of their year, and they both constantly count down the days until their next visit.
Kinga is incredibly skilled at catering activities to all ages, ensuring that both my younger and older daughter are equally engaged and happy. With a wonderful focus on being outdoors, every single day features a brilliantly thought-out activity, whether it's a trip to the farm, the zoo, music groups, or local parks.
Under Kinga’s care, my youngest has absolutely thrived, particularly in her independence, and I completely credit her wonderful development to her time spent at Little Seedlings. Kinga is so much more than just a ‘childminder’ to us. I always receive detailed daily updates, and my daughters have never shed a single tear when being dropped off—it truly is a home away from home.
Kinga is flexible, reliable, and a complete natural with children. I have never once had a single doubt about her devotion to the children in her care. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her.
Georgie provides the very best care, and home from home environment. Georgie looked after our eldest daughter and I would not have gone anywhere else for our youngest. She loves going to Georgies house and has come on leaps and bounds since being with her. It really does feel like we are dropping her to her second home. Could not recommend Georgie enough she is fantastic.
