Salwa is fantastic with my son. He loves spending time in her care, playing with other children, doing craft, playing dress ups and learning. He is always very happy when being picked up and looking forward to be back the next day. Couldn't be happier with Bright J, thank you Salwa!

Hayley was amazing . She took care of my 8-month-old daughter for two months , she maintained perfect contact with us and my baby has been happy and developed very well during these two months . Hayley was very supportive and flexible when we needed extra help . I really recommend her to make your childcare journey better .
Leanne has looked after my 7 months old a few times now. She is very reliable, and I know he absolutely loves her as his face lights up whenever she arrives! Leanne will always follow his routine well and goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy. Would definitely recommend Leanne.
My daughter was with Shirley Brown from the age of 5 until nearly 11, and we couldn’t have asked for a better childcare experience. Shirley provides exceptional care, treating each child as if they were her own. The children are always engaged with a wide range of activities, whether indoors or outdoors, ensuring they have a happy and fulfilling experience.
Shirley emphasizes good manners, respect, kindness, and safe play. My daughter especially loved the variety of meals offered, catering to everyone’s tastes.
Communication with Shirley is outstanding; I was always informed about any changes and received her holiday schedule well in advance. During half-terms, my daughter eagerly anticipated the exciting activities planned outside of her home.
To us, Shirley Brown is like family.
We recently had Leanne babysit for our 7yr old and 10 month old son. We were a little apprehensive leaving our son for the first time but Leanne was brilliant- very friendly and reassuring. I could see she was experienced with looking after both ages. The communication from Leanne from the outset has been super. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Leanne :)
What to say about Marcia... She has been an integral part of our family for the last 2 years. She has come to our lives before the birth of our third child, and has stayed with us until recently (so for a total of almost 2 years). She has taken care of our 3 small children every afternoon on the weekdays, which was not a small task, as our kids are all very young.
Marcia was in charge of the nursery and school pick ups, playing with the children, bathing them and feeding them, leaving them ready for bedtime. Marcia has always been an absolute pleasure to have around. Our children were instantly attached to her, and so were we. She is a positive, happy person, but at the same time extremely experienced and always knows how to go around things to solve situations. She has not once responded in a grumpy way to any tantrum, she a great energy which the kids just loved.
She was always punctual, responsible, willing to do the extra mile. For example, without us asking she would do extra chores (even when having already so much on her plate!) which shows not only such a great attitude but also how extra capable and experienced she is, that she managed to have everything under control in order to do the extra mile.
Additionally, she has been sociable with other parents/carers at our eldest daughter's school, so managed to take our kids to playdates and not only bringing them home to play everyday.
When leaving our family (due to moving house) she was very kind by letting us know with enough time. She was flexible and allowed us to sort our situation with enough time.
What to say about Marcia, she is a true gem, someone that we miss everyday, that our kids love, and that we will always be grateful for.
I'm happy to give more feedback if needed. I don't think there are enough words to thank her for everything that she did for us.

my son loved it here, some days he didn't want to come home and it was a struggle to get him in the car.
I would highly recommend this lady. As soon as there is availability for my daughter she will be attending here too
I didn't want to publish it at first however after thinking a lot about our experience I decided it's worth to do so.
We were looking for a babysitter for our twins for three weeks in August while our usual childminder was on holidays. Heather came across as very experienced and nice person living nearby - she seemed being perfect for a job. She started few weeks later and everything seemed very fine, we were very happy with her, kids enjoyed her being around as well - no concerns. We loved it.
However after 2 weeks with another week to go, on Sunday night at 9.30pm I received a text saying she has an emergency medical condition, she was unwell the whole weekend and was at A&E at that moment, so obviously she wasnt in a position to carry on with babysitting. We were left with two toddlers, no childcare and full-time jobs. It was upsetting however we couldn't have blamed a person for getting sick - there are things outside of our control. Thought me before coming across Heather's profile on Facebook few weeks later which it kindly suggested me to review as a potential connection. I clicked on the profile, just being curious really to know how she was, and found out that night before she sends us a text she is unable to come and was very unwell, in reality she was out with her friends on some sort of open air festiva. I was very upset, and angry, and confused as you don't expect adult people to make up stories about A&E and medical conditions to skip their jobs. Week of no childcare and full time job committments with two kids you need to take care of was quite a challenge but we made it - not first time not the last. I hope she had a good time.tho.
This was our first time as parents having to find a childminder.
From our initial telephone call Luliia made us feel at ease and was happy to answer any questions.
Lulliia first hand experience as a Mum of 4 and her teaching qualifications were the main reasons for our first contact with Luliia.
We were invited to her home to meet her and her family.
Our 8 year old has special needs including autism , meaning we were anxious to find the perfect person to care for him.
Luliia ticked all our boxes.
She is kind knowledgable and has a real connection with children.
Her own children were very welcoming and showed love and understanding towards our child.
It wasnt long before they were all happily playing together .
The one thing that shines through is the LOVE that is in this family.
We would highly recommend Luliia.
She provides a fun filled time with activities love and care, alongside lovely children to play with
Thannk you!

Sally, Collin and Amber have been childminders to both my children over the course of the last 6 years. I always felt like we had lucked out finding them as they create such a home from home environment that exudes warmth, creativity and exploration for the children.
Both my children love going each day, we get regular photo and video updates of what’s happening and lots of beautiful art work brought home.
In the cabin there is a whole array of toys that I know Sally keeps super clean. They read a story stake each day and get the kids involved in the story telling. They have discos with bubbles and lights, fancy dress, and spend lots of time outdoors. My kids loved going to the allotments where they would do nature checklists and see the changing seasons. In the summer there is lots of water play outside, picnics, and even growing their own flowers.
Sally is very focused on the kids and their welfare at all times, I know that they are always in the safest of hands, as Sally is often taking courses to keep up to date with childcare regulations.
Sally has instilled core values in my children of kindness, consideration, gratitude, generosity and empathy which has set them up well for their futures.
Sally, Collin and Amber really are the best childminders you will find. We would give 100 stars if we could!
Nida, is a wonderfully friendly, caring and professional person. She went to great lengths to ensure our son was happy and healthy while in her care. Every drop off was fun and easy because my son wanted to go to Nida, he was happy with her and she kept him as busy and active as possible.
Thank you for all the love and care you showed!
Carole has been the best tutor for my 7 year old son . She creats a positive, friendly and pleasant environment for teacher and student. She encourages my son to show his weakness so they can improve it.
She always keeps her lessons effective, engaging and fun. She's very organised too.
My son has improved in Writting, English and Maths.. and be much more confident in Year 3.
We are very lucky to find Caroline and I highly recommend her.
Thank you so much for your help Caroline.
Our 2 year old attended Littlens for 6 months, and Faye is everything we could have wanted in a childminder and more. She was caring, honest and kind, and most importantly our daughter was very happy with her. Faye was especially exceptional when it came to ongoing development, safety and wellbeing. Which are some of the most important things for us when considering childcare.
She regularly updated and reviewed her policies, and we received such detailed and lovely updates about our child. We only stopped using Faye as we moved to a different area, otherwise would definitely have continued. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Sharn helped us to baby sit our two year old little girl at our home . From our first virtual meeting with Sharn we immediately had a positive impression and her professional, bright, friendly and gentle aura gave us reassurance that our girl would be in safe hands. Our girl doesn't take to new people very well but Sharn was quick to identify ways to help her to warm up to her and before we knew it they were playing and doing activities together, with us out of the room and out of the house . We will definitely be using Sharn as our go to sitter going forward! Thanks Sharn!!!
Emma has been nothing but wonderful throughout the almost three years she looked after our little boy. She is a very conscientious and caring childminder, and her daughters are equally amazing and adorable. Our son was always looking forward to going to Emma's, rushing in and hardly ever waving goodbye to us. We have felt Emma excelled in her job and took her responsibilities very seriously, and even when our child was diagnosed with epilepsy, she took it upon herself to ensure our son would be looked after without us worrying for a second.
A wonderful childminder that we will recommend to anyone, and were oh so sad to leave!

Tab looking after my 2 year old son since a year and it has been best decision of my life. She treats my child as her own. She pays attention on his personal development and on social interactions as well. My son loves to go to tab and get bore at home especially over the weekends. Tab is very cooperative and keeps parents updated with their child daily activities including meals, poo time, play time and nap time. I would highly recommend her for child minding.
Tab follows all ofstead guidelines and make sure your child ia protected and safe in her environment.
I would like to say a big thanks to her ❤️
My little boy has been going to Emmas for over a year now, she has been so welcoming and helpful. My son loves her and her family and has always gone in happily and excited to start his days with Emma! She does lovely activities and spends a lot of time outdoors with the kids! Highly recommend!
