We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nina. From the very beginning, she made our child feel welcome, safe, and happy, which gave us real peace of mind. It's clear how much she genuinely cares about every child she looks after.
Our child has grown in confidence, enjoys the fun and educational activities Nina plans, and always comes home with a smile and exciting stories about the day. Nina is warm, patient, reliable, and keeps us updated, so we always know how our child is doing.
Knowing our child is with someone so caring and dedicated has made such a difference to our family. We can't recommend Nina highly enough and are so grateful for everything she does.
Our daughter Stevie started with Hanane age 1. We were anxious as it was the first time she had been looked after by someone else, but we were put at ease very quickly as she couldn’t have been happier with Hanane and her family. They put on a huge range of really engaging activities for the children and we love being updated throughout the day. Stevie lights up when she sees Hanane in the morning and the setting has helped her grow in many different ways into a happy confident toddler. We really like the focus on outdoor activity and play, which has hugely helped her strength and walking too. The love and care Hanane and her family have for all of the children is evident - we would highly recommend.
We arranged a first visit for my baby boy to discuss for a place where he can start his new journey on his own. Shibani was engaging with him so easily, and made him feel like it is his place over there. Spoke with him very calmly, but knew how to make him pay attention to any of her requests. We felt a warm and welcoming setting and pleased to meet her. Thank you Shibani ☺️
Thank you so much Nicole for babysitting my daughter! When she arrived, may daughter is taking her afternoon nap and she just stayed besides my daughter looking after her while I was working in the other room. When my daughter woke up, she didn't cry at all because Nicole read her a book immediately, introduced herself, and played with my daughter with nursery songs. Nicole also managed to feed my daughter. Nicole is very warm and my daughter liked her a lot, she even hugged Nicole during playtime. Thank you so much again Nicole!! We hope to see you again!

We love Timnit so much. Timnit looked after our daughter one day a week for around one year before we had to change arrangements due to external factors. She was always on time, always positive and helpful and we had complete trust and faith that our daughter would have a great day with her. Timnit comes with lots of experience and helped us navigate some developmental stages, which was so helpful. Timnit always put our daughter’s needs first and was fantastic at establishing a happy routine. I am really looking forward to being able to ask for Timnit’s help again, we couldn’t recommend her enough.
Choosing Natalie was one of the best decisions we made for our daughter. She has absolutely loved going to Nat Nat's each week and has always been so excited to see her. From the very beginning, Natalie has made her feel like part of the family, providing a genuine home-from-home environment where she has felt safe, loved and valued.
The care, attention and encouragement Natalie gives have helped our daughter thrive and grow in confidence. She enjoys a wonderful mix of sensory play, creative activities and opportunities to socialise with the other children. Natalie has an excellent range of toys and thoughtfully plans activities around the children's interests, making every day engaging and fun. Our daughter has also become especially fond of Natalie's own children, and it's been lovely to see the friendships they've built.
Natalie provides a variety of healthy meals and snacks, which our daughter always enjoys, and has also been incredibly supportive throughout our potty training journey. Her patience, consistency and encouragement have made a real difference, and we are so grateful for her support.
We are absolutely gutted that Natalie is moving, as she has been such an important part of our daughter's early years. We will miss her dearly, and any family fortunate enough to secure a place with her can be confident their child will receive exceptional care in a warm, nurturing and happy environment.
There really aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for everything Nancy and Jo have done for our family. From the very beginning, they loved and cared for our little boy as though he was one of their own, and that is something we’ll never forget. Knowing he was safe, happy and genuinely excited to come each day gave us complete peace of mind. They’ve played such an important role in his early years, helping him grow into the funny, kind, confident little boy he is today. The love, patience, creativity and dedication they show every single child is truly something special, and it’s clear this isn’t just a job to them - it’s their passion.
As we say goodbye and prepare for preschool, it’s incredibly emotional because they’ve been such a huge part of our lives. We will always be thankful for the care, support and wonderful memories they’ve given our family. If you’re looking for a childminder who will treat your child like family, I honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you for everything - we’ll be forever grateful.

Cat was brilliant with my 5 year old daughter. She was organised and professional and I had no concerns about leaving her with my daughter even though it was the first time we had met. My daughter was instantly comfortable with her and very happy for me to go! I would recommend Cat to anyone looking for reliable and high quality childcare 👍🏻

We can’t recommend Harley highly enough. We first got to know her through our child’s nursery, and she’s since become our go-to babysitter/ nanny — warm, friendly, and completely reliable every single time.
She’s professional and dependable, always easy to arrange, and puts our minds completely at ease. What really stands out, though, is how wonderful she is with our little one. Our child absolutely adores her, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after them.
Harley is brilliant, and we feel so lucky to have found her.
What can I say about these 2 lovely ladies. Nancy and Jo have had both my children and I would not have had it any other way. Theyve given my children the best start to their learning journey.
I love how they are so nurturing, caring and kind. Nothing is ever an issue. My children absolutely adore them both and still are not able to comprehend that they will not be returning. I love how they set up curricular activities for the children. They are always entertained and busy.
It was definitely emotional to say goodbye for the last time.
Thank you to you both again.
I had to go into work for 2 weeks and needed childcare for most of the days. Thushi messaged saying shes available and her being around the corner from my mums house was very convenient. We visited her and my son didnt want to come home! Of course she was booked. Her reassurance and honesty throughout the 2 weeks was just what we needed. My son absolutely loved going to play at her house and really enjoyed himself. She has a real warmth to her and really updates you with everything her house is safe and clean all the time. Thank you so much for caring and keeping up with my son. Honestly, made me 2 weeks easier and calmer.
Temi was truly sent to me by God. At the time, I was incredibly stressed because I had to find a childminder at the last minute for my 3 month old daughter, and it felt almost impossible.
The same day, I came across Temi. I visited her home, and from the moment we met, she made us feel so welcome. Seeing how kind and caring she was with my daughter immediately gave me peace of mind.
Temi is no longer just a childminder to me she has become like a sister I never had. She has supported me so much during my journey as a new mum. Knowing that my daughter is with her while I’m at work gives me complete peace of mind. They play together, sing, eat, and have so much fun. My daughter absolutely loves spending time with her.
Temi is so gentle, loving, and patient with my daughter that when I come to pick her up, she often doesn’t even want to leave!
I could go on and on about how amazing Temi is, but I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone they can truly trust. She isn’t just a wonderful childminder she is an angel who genuinely cares for children and supports mothers when they need it most. With Temi, you can leave your child knowing they are safe, loved, and cared for, and that peace of mind is priceless.

Molly had my two boys aged 8 and 10 years for an evening and they had a really lovely time.
She has great listening skills and spent the eve chatting away to them playing board games and talking through their interests and hobbies. They are looking forward to the next time.
We have been with Sasha since 2018, and she has cared for all three of our children. They have all been incredibly happy with her, both in full-day care and before and after-school care.
Sasha provides a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where the children feel safe, supported, and have so much fun. She plans a fantastic variety of activities, including crafts, music, trips to Washbrooks Farm, walks in the woods, visits to Ditchling Common, and lots of different play parks.
Our youngest starts school this September, but will continue with Sasha for before and after-school care because we know she'll be in the best hands.
We are so grateful for everything Sasha has done for our family over the years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful childminder.
Katie came to help babysit whilst we were at a wedding. It's the first time we'd properly had someone look after our daughter for more than a couple of hours, and Katie was wonderful. She entertained and helped feed our baby in the day, and in the evening was attentive at watching the baby monitor. Would recommend!
We have been so lucky to have Rachel as our childminder. Our son has loved his time spent with her. She is such a calming and caring person who helped him learn about friendships, safety and behavioural boundaries in such a kind and consistent way.
Her setting is fantastic with a covered outdoor play space in her garden as well as her amazing allotment which my son loved going to.
I would wish that every child could have such a fantastic childminder so if you are looking for someone who will deeply care for your child, you’ve found her.
