My daughter spent a year and half with Frances and loved it. Frances is a loving, caring lady who works with such a calm, organised manner. Which as a busy parent was greatly appreciated! The home from home setting was a great introduction to childcare for our girl. She was able to make friends, learn and grow in this comforting environment. Frances has heaps of experience and was always there for advice and support when needed. Since my daughter has finished and stared preschool she has said "I don't want to go to preschool, I want to see Frances." This has highlighted to us what a close bond our daughter developed with Frances.
We are so grateful for the service Frances provided. We will all miss her! Thank you xxx
It was a great experience for our child. The childminder created a safe, caring, educational, and hygienic environment where our child felt happy and comfortable. Communication was excellent, and we always felt confident that our child was well looked after. I would highly recommend Isoken to anyone looking for reliable and nurturing childcare.
Our daughter has been with Lauren since October 2023 and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her. She is kind, caring, fun and an incredibly trustworthy pair of hands.
She spends so much time interacting with the children doing crafts and activities in her setting, aswell as planning days out for them, our daughter has enjoyed many trips to the park, beach, zoo, farm, soft play and bern on lots of other fun adventures during her time with Lauren.
Our daughter has always spoken so fondly of her and her family, her own children are a real credit to her and have always been so kind and friendly.
It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our daughter was happy, safe and well cared for. We are sad for our childminding journey to come to an end as our daughter moves on to reception, as choosing Lauren was one of the best decisions we made. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parents looking for a wonderful childminder.

We had a wonderful experience with Beccy during the time she was with our family. She brought a warm, kind presence into our home and connected beautifully with our child.
Her approach was very child-led, and we really appreciated how attentive and attuned she was. She was fully present during her time with our son , engaging thoughtfully and creating a calm, supportive environment where our son felt comfortable and seen.
She was also very reliable and easy to work with, which made everything run smoothly for us as parents. We genuinely enjoyed working with her and would happily recommend her to other families.

I am extremely happy with the care my son receives from Mrs Naghma and the team. They are kind, patient, and truly dedicated to the children they look after. From the very beginning they made our son feel comfortable and welcome, and he always looks forward to going there.
They provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment with plenty of fun and educational activities that support his development and confidence. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children and treats them as individuals.
Communication with us as parents is excellent. they keep us updated on our son’s day and any important information. Knowing our child is happy and well looked after gives us great peace of mind.
We would highly recommend Mrs Naghma and the team to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, and professional childminder.
We hired Marisol to watch our one-year-old for a few days, and she was absolutely wonderful! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking leaving a toddler with a new person, but our child warmed up to her immediately. They had so much fun together, and I could tell Marisol was truly engaged and attentive. She was very responsible and carefully followed our child’s routine. Marisol even managed to get him to do all his naps, which we consider an advanced move, as it is not easy to get him to sleep.
Overall, we highly recommend her!
Jolie was friendly and relaxed, and my four year old daughter felt comfortable with her almost immediately. Jolie started getting to know and playing with her as soon as she came in, and in no time at all my daughter was happily playing with her, comfortable as you’d like.
She seemed able to maintain a good healthy routine with her the whole evening, and got her to bed and asleep without any trouble.
I’d happily recommend Jolie to babysit your little ones!
Megan / Little Wonders is a brilliant childminder. Megan and her assistant are so warm and caring, and my son has really thrived with her. They do lots of activities and crafts which he enjoys. The communication is great too, we get pictures and updates/observations most days. Would really recommend

Marisol was fantastic with my children, they absolutely loved her immediately and did not want her to leave afterwards. She has a nice attitude to kids, very positive and understanding both with younger kids and teenagers. I am very happy to have contacted her and I would totally recommend her. Trustworthy, punctual, full of initiative and big smiles.
Tina was absolutely wonderful with my son Adam. From the first moment she was very kind, patient and caring. She made him feel comfortable and safe, and even took him to the park to play. She also sent me pictures which made me feel very reassured while I was away. Adam was happy with her and I could see she truly cares about the children she looks after. I highly recommend Tina to any parent looking for a reliable and loving childminder.

My daughter has been going to butterfly’s for just over one year and she absolutely loves it. She is a super timid little girl and they support all of her needs and put so much effort into learning about her and are always so attentive to her. She has the bestest time here 4 days a week and it’s been so lovely watching her in such a fun and calming environment. I was a very nervous mum when she was due to start childminders at the age of one and wasn’t sure if I wanted to send her at all but Andrea reassured me all the time and always keeps us updated with what my daughter is up to during the day and this has carried on every day she’s been there for a year. My only regret is not sending my daughter sooner. My son will be joining at nine months old and I have nothing but confidence that he will have the most amazing time and is in the safest hands. It really is a lovely home from home environment. Not too strict just loving, fun and caring. I love the amount of outdoor play they have and how they are aloud to be creative and messy and do their own thing without being stopped (unless it’s unsafe of course haha). Butterfly’s definitely has the children’s interests at heart and I’m so grateful both my baby’s get to go here! Thankyou butterfly’s
We cannot recommend Saskia highly enough. Our daughter spent nearly a year in her care (starting from age 18 months), and the progress she made in that time was remarkable. Saskia is far more than a childminder; she is a dedicated educator who cares deeply about the children she looks after.
Creative & Educational Environment
What sets Saskia apart is her incredible creativity and effort. She constantly transformed her home to keep things exciting—whether it was building a pirate ship in the living room, setting up a grocery store, or creating a “science lab.” She put immense thought into educational activities tailored to the children's specific needs, even doing independent research outside of working hours to support our daughter’s growth and wellbeing.
Holistic Development
Our daughter thrived across all dimensions under Saskia's care:
● Academics & Language: Saskia made learning numbers fun, inventing games like spotting digits on buses, buildings, and license plates. Our daughter really enjoyed this and kept on playing them with us. She also made amazing progress in her language skills, as Saskia encouraged her to express herself and constantly taught her new words and expressions.
● Social Skills: By taking the children to various playgroups and organizing playdates, Saskia taught them how to interact beautifully with others. She built a wonderful group dynamic where the children learned to be kind to one another.
● Enrichment & Nature: They spent a lot of time outside exploring the nearby park to learn about plants and animals, alongside carefully chosen trips to museums, art galleries, and exhibitions. Saskia is incredibly knowledgeable about the arts and shares her passion for them with the children.
● Creativity: A huge variety of arts activities—painting, handicrafts, and Play-Doh—strengthened our daughter's fine motor skills and imagination.
Professionalism & Peace of Mind Saskia always put safety first. She is incredibly responsible and kept us updated throughout the day or during pick-up. We always had the feeling our daughter was in the best possible hands.
The two of them formed a very special bond; our daughter was always happy at drop-off and clearly enjoyed every moment of her time there. We feel Saskia has prepared her perfectly for her next steps at nursery.
We strongly recommend Saskia to any parent looking for a caring, responsible, and proactive childminder.
Saritha was wonderful with our 15-month old daughter. Saritha has been caring, calm, conscientious and highly attentive to our daughter’s needs. She has a particular gift for teaching - our daughter always learns something new from her when she spends time with Saritha, e.g. new songs, recognising colours, or pointing to objects in books. I highly recommend Saritha as a nanny.
Had such a good experience from the start, Honor has been so informative with everything including how to apply. We were also offered numerous settling sessions to help our son settle, this helped massively for the transition.
We were worried about nap and meal times but it has all improved so much since my son joined Honors daycare. We get regular updates which l look so forward to receiving especially as a first time mum back at work. There is nothing more daunting than knowing your child is unsettled and you're away from them. Thankfully we don't have to worry about that as our son has the best time with Honor and his friends. She keeps the children interacted all day long with various activities and trips.
Very much looking forward to what's in store the rest of the year and hopefully extending our son's hours with her. Couldn't recommend her more!
Myself and my husband had a wonderful experience with Kaya and are very grateful for the care given to my son. He really enjoyed spending time with her and felt comfortable right away, which made us feel very at ease as parents. Kaya also took him around for park and nursery visits and he really enjoyed them.
Thank you again for taking such good care of him. We would definitely reach out again if we need help in the future and would happily recommend you to other parents. 😊
Belinda has cared for my children on many occasions over the last ten years.
Her setting is home from home. Very child focused and she spends quality time with each child working with them on their strengths and building confidence too.
Belinda home cooks and has the children involved in baking and cooking which my children loved.
My children get on really well with the whole family and enjoy their time spent there.
I attended a job interview in Sittingbourne with my child and was fortunate to meet Lynda. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. She listened patiently to my concerns and went above and beyond by kindly caring for my child while I attended my interview.
Lynda showed genuine warmth, respect, and a wonderful attention to detail. She was playful and engaging with my child, which made the whole experience much easier and more reassuring for me. Her support meant a great deal at an important moment, and I truly appreciated her kindness and professionalism.
Lynda is truly one of a kind, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.
Fran is a superstar childminder and we are so happy to have found her. Our 2 year old, Leo, previously went to nursery and got a bit overwhelmed by the setting and wasn't enjoying himself. He's now been with Fran for the last 4-5 months and it's a completely different experience. He's happy going in, happy coming out, and happy in his photos. Fran is a Tiney-registered childminder so we get all the updates via their app - just like the nursery. Our experience with Fran couldn't have been better. She takes the children out on so many trips - butterfly farm, mudclubs, museums, parks. Her home is also a wonderful hub of learning and activities. Would highly recommend!
