Lu has been truly incredible from day 1 and we now consider her part of the family. Straight away she took time to understand our needs and where our child was on her development journey. Since then we have seen our child’s confidence grow exponentially, her speech develop and her character flourish. Lu is experienced, kind, understanding and we could not recommend her more.
Very happy we found Sammy, She has put me at ease with the level of care my child receives whilst with her. My child is always happy around her and he has learnt so much already he never wants to leave when it's home time which speaks for itself. I'm glad we picked Sammy when looking for recommendations.
Our daughter, Quinn, has been in Angela’s care since she was 8 months old. Choosing Angela to help raise and guide our daughter has been one of the best decisions we could have made.
Angela has helped us teach Quinn to walk, eat, communicate, take turns and every other milestone you can imagine, whilst we have both had to work full-time. Quinn is excited to see Angela and the other children in her care every day that she attends, which is the full 4 days a week! She can also be reluctant to leave which also shows how much she feels safe and adores Angela.
As parents, we love receiving photos of daily activities and to have a personalised end-of-day update. This is so much more than what you would receive from a nursery/preschool and allows us to feel like apart of Quinn’s day.
We can only thank Angela as she has played a role in Quinn becoming the kind, playful, independent, curious and fun-loving little girl that she is as Angela is all of these things and more.
Quinn is now 2.5 years old and will continue with Angela until she begins school. Expecting our second child in April, we cannot wait to have Angela in their life too.
We cannot recommend Angela more to parents looking for a childcare setting that offers a safe, positive and loving environment.
I cannot recommend Maria highly enough! We've been entrusting her with our child's care for over a year now, since she was just 5 months old. Maria has been an absolute godsend. Leaving your baby with someone new can be nerve-wracking, but Maria immediately put us at ease. She's incredibly caring and attentive, creating a safe and loving environment for our child to thrive in. Kids simply gravitate towards Maria! She has a knack for making them feel happy and engaged. Maria also prepares nutritious and delicious meals for the children, and she's fantastic at accommodating any dietary requirements.
Overall, we are beyond grateful for Maria's dedication and warmth. Our child absolutely loves going to her home, and we have complete peace of mind knowing they're in the best possible care. If you're looking for a fantastic childminder, look no further than Maria – I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her 100 times over!
After a really stressful time trying to figure out childcare my partner & i found carla & to say that she’s amazing is an understatement! She was able to help us out last minute & our two sons absolutely loved their time with her. From the get go Carla was bubbly, engaging and full of smiles which helped our sons instantly relax around her.
Fatima is a good , onst & respectful person.
I do appreciate her job, picking up my kids from the school & looking after them until I finish my work every day when ever I finish. She is flexible, nice , quick responder & caring lady. Me & my kids feel safe with her. She is happy to do more than looking after the kids e.g cooking or cleaning. Thanks Fatima for saving me twice when I need some one to take care of my littles .
We have been using Shona since the beginning of February to look after our son Archie, who at the Time was just 10 weeks !
She is amazing! With Archie being so young I was very nervous about leaving him. It she has proven to be a great asset to us.
She sings, plays and spends real quality time with him.
I walk out knowing he will be just fine. She has a lovely bubbly personality which we love too. We will continue to use Shona in the future. She is brilliant 🤩
Our daughter has thrived and been extremely happy with lianne, as have we! She is kind, extremely caring and does her utmost to ensure the children in her care thrive with happiness. We have been lucky to get to know Lianne and her lovely family over the past year. Both our children often talk about them and ask if they can go to liannes house on the weekends :) lianne ensures the children do fun trips (farms, soft play, aquarium to name a few) and there are always fun activities going on both inside and outside the home no matter what the weather! She genuinely adores the children in her care and our daughter has built great bonds. They do arts and crafts and celebrate key calendar moments with the utmost fun! We are genuinely so sad that it’s time for our daughter to move on but anyone who has lianne next is extremely lucky.
Karen has been caring for my two daughters, aged 3 and 8, for the past 18 months, and she has been nothing short of fantastic. My girls always look forward to spending time with her, which is a tremendous relief for me as a working mother. Throughout this time, Karen has provided invaluable support, particularly in aiding my youngest through the transition out of napping and toilet training. She consistently demonstrates a keen responsiveness to their interests and needs, adapting plans and routines to accommodate their ever-evolving requirements. I have wholeheartedly recommended her to friends.
Lena's Little Comfort truly lives up to its name—it's a godsend for any parent seeking exceptional care for their little ones. As a first-time parent navigating the daunting world of childcare options, I knew I wanted something more personalised and flexible than a traditional nursery. Lena have exceeded all expectations since day one.
From the initial meeting, their genuine love and dedication to the children shone through. My son started attending at just four months old, and the transition back to work was seamless thanks to their unwavering support and the user-friendly app that kept me updated on his daily activities.
But what truly sets Lena's Little Comfort apart is the enriching environment they provide. As my son has grown from a newborn to an adventurous toddler, Lena have nurtured his development in ways I couldn't have imagined. From learning to count and recognise colours to exploring the wonders of the natural world through forest club outings and hands-on experiences like watching caterpillars transform into butterflies, every day is an adventure.
Their commitment to holistic learning extends beyond the classroom, with cultural celebrations, trips to the library, and even fruit and veg picking excursions that not only educate but also instill a sense of wonder and curiosity in the children.
And let's not forget the food—every meal freshly prepared and home-cooked on-site, ensuring that not only are the children well-fed, but they also develop healthy eating habits from a young age.
In summary, Lena's Little Comfort goes above and beyond to provide a nurturing, stimulating environment where children can thrive. With Lena at the helm, I have complete peace of mind knowing that my son is not only well cared for but also receiving the best possible start in life. If you're looking for childcare that feels like an extension of your own family, look no further than Lena's Little Comfort.
Michelle has been looking after my daughter for a while now. I can honestly say that it has been like leaving my my little girl with a relative. Michelle also looked after my son too. She genuinely loves kids and enjoys looking after them so much. My daughter has just turned 3 and Michelle continues to help her development and I'm sure when she leaves Michelle's setting for school she will settle in no problem. Michelle ensures that the children get to interact with other children and are not phased being around larger group settings.
Our daughter has been with Soodi for around 10 months now. From the start Soodi and her team have been amazing. They were both patient and flexible with the settling in period and did all they could to make our daughter feel comfortable. Over the past 10 months our daughter has developed in both language and interpersonal skills. Weekly our daughter brings home completed arts and crafts and we are sent pictures of her activities weekly.
We feel very lucky to have found Soodi and would not hesitate in recommending her.
The setting is bright, clean with plenty of toys. Our daughter is also regularly taken to parks and occasionally when weather permits they are taken to attractions that include Kew Gardens, Bushy Park and The Urban Farm.
She truly is one of a kind!!
Mariann has been looking after my son since he was 6 months old, and on a full time basis when I went back to work until he was 18 months old. My son is now at nursery, and spends one day a week with Mariann - we just don't want to let her go!
My son really struggled to nap, and also decided he preferred to bum shuffle, rather than crawl - which I was slightly worried about because crawling is important for development for many skills. Mariann not only supported my son to sleep better at nap time (he now sleeps for over an hour!), she also used her expertise to ensure that he was doing may other types of movements in the day to ensure that the lack of crawling would not impact on his skills. Mariann also showed me movements, and games to play with him, so that we could support his coordination, amongst other things.
Mariann is kind, and loving, and as my first time having a nanny she exceeded any expectation that I may have had, and brought more to our home than we thought we needed! Our son loves her daughter too, as do we, and it is a pleasure having them in our lives.
I would highly recommend Mariann, and happy to offer a reference wherever is needed.
Anittha looked after my son for 2 years and he thrived under her care! Anittha is kind, loving, considerate, a great communicator, and goes above and beyond in her care. The setting is so lovely - clean, bright, spacious, and the main room looks out into a lovely little conservatory and garden. I would highly recommend her as an outstanding childminder, my son still talks about her and we all really miss her!
Our child has been with Bearsprings from 9 months to 3.5 years and we only have positive experiences to share.
Ruby & Ursala are welcoming, supportive and provide a home-from-home atmosphere for the children. They have a wonderful set up that engages the children and stimulates imaginative and creative play; often changing things around based on current topics or themes. The facilities are great with indoor and outdoor space and exceptionally clean!
We have been so happy with our child's development at Bearsprings and they have made wonderful memories and friends whilst there. We will truly miss Ruby, Ursala and the family environment they have welcomed our daughter into and thank them for all their support over the past 3 years.
To whom it may concern,
We had enrolled our 1y old child at a nursery near our home in Putney (5 minute walk). However during the induction we were not comfortable. Following this, we were recommended Nicola as a childminder who lives in Mortlake (20 minute drive), and during our first visit to see her, were completely comfortable to leave our child with her and happy to do the drive each way.
She has approached looking after our child with kindness and the utmost care. Her home is extremely welcoming, and we always notice the happiness of all the children there. It really is a home away from home for our little one who has been there for 18 months now. Her setting is a family setting, and the kids feel a sense of community with her. Moreover, we are always impressed by the activities she takes the children on, from visits to the Wetlands centre to Kew gardens and Richmond park. We have really felt that the environment is that of learning and development which has a very real feel to it. We cannot recommend her enough, and are extremely grateful to her for the time and energy she has spent with our little one.
