We've had a wonderful experience with Annalisa. Our daughter attended her setting for a year and a half. She has taken great care of our child and created a calm, warm and welcoming environment every day. Communication has always been easy and reassuring, she keeps us updated, shares pictures and lets us know how the day went. Our child settled in quickly thanks to her kindness, patience and the fun activities she plans.We' ve seen real progress in confidence and social skills.
We feel completely at ease leaving our child with her and are grateful for the support she provides. Highly recommended to any parent looking for someone reliable, caring and professional.
I need help on Saturday starting at 9:45 am. so I found her on Thurday, until Friday we still exchanged information until 10pm. Suddenly on Saturday around 4 am while I was still sleeping, she texted me saying she couldn't come because she was sick. What an unconvincing reason and such irresponsible behavior. So I had a hard time asking for time off to stay home and look after him
SonSon took wonderful care of my daughter, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where my daughter felt happy and comfortable. SonSon communicated clearly and regularly, which gave me great peace of mind, and she always showed genuine care and professionalism. I am truly grateful for the love and dedication she showed, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for an excellent childminder.
Returning to full-time work in November 2025 was one of the hardest transitions I have faced as a mother. From the moment my son was born in November 2024, I knew that choosing the right childcare would be one of the most important decisions of my life. As a first-time mother, the thought of leaving my baby five days a week filled me with anxiety, fear, and countless questions. I wanted more than just childcare. I wanted someone who would love my son, understand him, respect his rhythm, and care for him as if he were their own.
Initially, I focused my search on nurseries, thinking that a larger environment might be best for socialisation. But everything changed the moment I came across TeeCee’s profile. Seeing that she is bilingual in French and English immediately spoke to my heart. Raising my son in a bilingual environment is extremely important to me, not only for language development but also for identity, culture, and emotional expression. From our very first exchange, I felt a sense of peace and trust that is hard to put into words.
Meeting TeeCee confirmed everything I felt. There was no hesitation, no doubt, she was the person I wanted to care for my son. She is a truly exceptional woman: warm, gentle, patient, and deeply knowledgeable. From day one, she welcomed us with so much kindness and made us feel completely at home. She took the time to understand my son, to learn his needs, his habits, and his little personality, and she supported his transition with so much love and care.
The bilingual experience TeeCee offers has been incredibly special for us. My son is immersed naturally in both French and English, in a way that feels effortless and joyful. In just two months, his speech has developed beautifully in both languages, and his confidence has grown so much. Watching him understand, respond, and express himself in two languages at such a young age has been deeply moving for me as a mother.
Beyond his language development, the progress my son has made overall is remarkable. His motor skills have improved significantly, his curiosity has blossomed, and he is happier, more confident, and more secure. Today, he genuinely loves going to TeeCee. He looks for her when he is with me, calls her name, and is always excited to see her. That alone tells me everything I need to know.
TeeCee goes far beyond what you would ever expect from a childminder. She is flexible, open-minded, and always willing to support parents, even at short notice. She listens, reassures, and works in true partnership with families. Her care is not just professional it is deeply human.
For us, TeeCee is no longer just a childminder; she has become part of our family. Entrusting her with my son has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am endlessly grateful for her love, her patience, and her dedication. Any family lucky enough to have TeeCee care for their child will truly be blessed.
We hired Kailey to babysit our 1 year old daughter. Kailey was the first babysitter we had ever used, as we had only ever left our daughter with family before.
Our little one took to Kailey immediately and was really happy and settled in her company.
Kailey was kind, professional and really easy to work with.
We do not hesitate in recommending her.
Kathryn and I had several exchanges over childcare.co.uk and we met to discuss childcare for my son. By the end of the discussion we agreed to go ahead, a start date and settling in arrangements. Kathryn advised she would send the contacts on the same day. I had 2 other options which I contacted and thanked for their time however I had found an alternative arrangement. Later that day Kathryn emailed me and I opened this ready to sign contract, however instead was a message saying one of her current children had decided to increase their hours and thus she had no more space. I was obviously shocked but mostly disappointed that I now had been left with zero options. I understand I should have waited for the contract but we live in a small village and I naively believe that most people were honest and would not have made a verbal commitment if there was any chance they could not fulfil it. In her email Kathryn advised she would keep me at the top of her list should an opening come up, however when I went back to childcare.co.uk to look at other options she had blocked me and deleted our conversation history. Please exercise caution with Kathryn and if you decide to go ahead wait until the contracts have been signed.
We’ve been working with Codie for the last few months and she is phenomenal! She takes such good care of our 14 month old daughter. She’s researched various activities she can do with her in our area. When at home, she keeps her engaged and happy all times! Our little one loves Codie and it gives us the peace of mind we need when leaving her with Codie.

The Seahawk team, led by Bobbee, has supported my daughter since she was 2 years old, and the care, consistency, and understanding they have shown her over the years has been amazing. Now at 4, she has grown into a confident and independent child, and that is largely thanks to the way Seahawk gently encourages independence in an age-appropriate and supportive way. The staff truly know each child as an individual and have always met her needs with patience, kindness, and professionalism. I am so grateful for the strong foundation Seahawk has given her and would highly recommend the nursery to any parent. They foster strong connections with the local communities, encouraging the children to be involved in Environmental and Community charity events. Additionally, having many staff members and children belonging to Military families they have an unique understanding of the challenges the children face, having measures in place to give that additional support.
Seema has been working with my daughter for over a year now and she has achieved the impossible - she has made maths fun! My daughter looks forward to her lessons and because of this, her confidence with maths has grown immensely.
We call Seema her secret weapon - whenever she has a tricky sum which she can’t quite grasp, Seema is able to break it down for her and simplify in a way which just clicks.
We couldn’t fault her and couldn’t be without her!
I came across Janette’s setting in 2018 when I first moved to Swanley and was looking for childcare for my one-year-old. I visited her setting and was immediately impressed by the interactions between the children and Janette’s own engagement with them. Unfortunately, she was full for the days I needed, but I continued to follow her pages as I was hoping to have a second child.
In 2022, when I had my son, it was a no-brainer, Janette or no one else. Luckily, she had a space and we went full-time. My son was just one when he started and stayed until he turned four (now off to pre-prep school). His growth and development were excellent. Janette kept us updated daily on his progress, her attention to detail is outstanding, and she is surrounded by a fantastic team; thank you, Sarah and Susan.
My son started calling them Janjan, Susu and Rara. He was always happy to go and knew everyone by name. I strongly recommend Janette’s setting, do book early! She has consistently maintained a very high standard of excellence.

We are very pleased to be working with Kim. My son has learned several new things in a short time with her, which has been lovely to see.
Kim is very proactive, makes great suggestions, and is always easy and pleasant to communicate with. The playroom is clean, welcoming, and well organised, and Kim provides thoughtful and engaging activities for the children.
I would happily recommend Kim to anyone looking for a childminder in the Grange Park area.
Codie has been baby sitting my almost 2 year old for a while now, when I first met her I knew she was perfect for my daughter. My daughter has never been left before with any one else si this was a massive step for her and I. Codie is not only professional but kind and amazing with my daughter and son. I couldn't think of any one better to trust with my children and I do not take such a job lightly. I would one hundred percent recommend codie to any one and I am looking forward to watching her and my daughters bond grow even more. I know when I leave my daughter with codie she is in exceptional care. Codie is a great baby sitter, excellent at communication, punctual and great with My children. 100% 5 🌟
The effort Jen puts in to everything is amazing. From the setting itself to the outings and activities it’s all so thought out with fun and development at the heart of everything. My child is excited to go everyday and I never have to worry about him whilst he’s there. So grateful to have found such a nurturing environment, which massively reduces the working mam guilt!
Natalie is an absolutely outstanding babysitter and nanny. She has cared for all four of my children, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of professionalism, care, and dedication she brings to her work. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being.
Natalie provides a very educational environment and always ensures nutritious meals are prepared for the kids. Every time my children return from being with her, they are calm, happy, and well cared for—which speaks volumes about the positive atmosphere she creates.
If you are looking for someone you can truly trust with your children, I highly recommend Natalie. She is 100% recommended, and you would be lucky to have her as your babysitter or nanny.
Ruth has been an amazing childminder for our child since he was 18 months old. She provides a safe, caring, and stimulating environment, and our child has grown in confidence and happiness under her care. Ruth is kind, patient, and reliable, and her communication is excellent. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any parent.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She is amazing and truly like a second mother to my son. From day one, she has shown so much love, patience, and care, and it’s clear how genuinely invested she is in his happiness and development. My son feels safe, loved, and completely at home with her, which gives me total peace of mind. She goes above and beyond every single day, and we are so grateful to have had her in our lives. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Not only was she my sons childminder but we also got close to each other and would have a nice long chat whenever I used to pick my son up :)
We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives. Kate and Flávio are incredibly kind, caring, and attentive, always providing excellent one-to-one attention and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children truly thrive. Our daughter is so happy there that she often does not want to come home.
Kate and Flávio provide a huge variety of fun and educational activities that support learning and development while keeping the children engaged and excited every day. The freshly home-cooked meals are a real highlight — healthy, nutritious, and clearly prepared with care.
Kate and Flávio are also extremely flexible and supportive, especially when unexpected situations arise, which gives us great peace of mind.
We feel very lucky to have found such dedicated and trustworthy childminders and would highly recommend Kate and Flávio to any family looking for outstanding childcare.
Carly looked after my 7-month-old baby every evening this week. My baby has become really attached to her!
Carly was really flexible with my crazy routine this week and it was a massive help to me. She was capable with my baby and I didn’t have a worry at all.
I’d absolutely use her again, my baby was sad to see her go.
Thank you
My little boy has been going to Bug and Bean with Mary and Steph for 2 years. We honestly feel so lucky to have found these two! They’ve created such a warm, fun, and caring environment, and our child absolutely loves his days with them. It’s so clear how much they genuinely care about the children and how much effort they put into everything they do. Our child always comes home happy and full of stories. He’s built lovely friendships with the other children but also LOVES Mary and Steph. Knowing our child is safe, loved, and well looked after gives us total peace of mind which is so important to us. We couldn’t recommend them enough and are so grateful for everything they do.
