I cannot praise Ewa enough! I was so nervous for my little one to go to a childminders as it’s my first. But Ewa reassured me and kept me updated all the time. My daughter absolutely loves it with Ewa and the amazing activities she does the for kids. The effort she puts in, is amazing! You can see Ewa really loves doing this with the children and making it fun for them all the time.
I’m so glad I found Ewa, as I was really starting to debate going back to work. But now I know my daughters loves it and enjoys her time there I am so happy.
Pooja started with us as our full-time nanny and housekeeper when our son was 2.5, and stuck with us through his whole transition into nursery — she made it so much easier than it could have been.
She was always punctual and totally trustworthy, so we never had to think twice. But honestly, what made her so special was how nurturing and caring she was with our son. He really loves her.
We also went through a rough patch with some big life changes, and Pooja was such a steady, calming presence through it all. She gave our son a real safe space when things felt chaotic, and that meant everything to us.
We're so grateful for the care and love she gave our family. Any family lucky enough to get her is in great hands.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our little one than Ayesha. She has looked after our 18-month-old over the past nine months, and from the very beginning she has been incredibly warm, kind and caring.
She created such a safe, happy and nurturing environment, and it is obvious how much she genuinely cares about all the children she looks after. Our son was always excited to see her each day, which gave us complete peace of mind.
We’ve seen so much growth in our child during this time, from increased confidence to learning new skills, and we’re so grateful for the love, patience and encouragement she showed every day. We can’t thank Ayesha enough for everything she has done for our family and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and dedicated childminder.
After searching around for childcare for a while, I finally found Jess and I am so glad that I did!
My daughter is due to be Starting with Jess in December. I was so anxious about returning to work so soon after having my daughter, but after I met with Jess I left feeling so reassured.
Jess provides a safe, home from home environment with plenty of toys and activities to keep the children she cares for entertained. I also love the fact that there are regular outings planned, as well as lots of contact so we can see what our daughter is getting up to during her day at the childminders!
Although Jess is new to childminding, after seeing how she is with her own children and how welcoming, understanding and kind Jess is I decided that everyone deserves a chance and I am so glad that I chose her! It really doesn’t matter how experienced you are, I think it’s all about the setting you’re providing and hers is outstanding!
Can’t wait for my daughter to join you Jess xx
My son has been with sarah for over a year now and he loves it that much he never wants to come home when settling him in he cried at first when leaving him and now he cries to stay when I go to collect him.Sarah is amazing with the children my son has learnt so much already including to be kind ,caring and sharing.Ive never had any issues or problems in any area I myself dont want him to leave wish I could keep him with sarah forever.
We couldn't be happier with the care Roisin has provided over the past three years. Our son has been attending three afternoons a week after school, as well as during the school holidays, and he genuinely loves going.
As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than dropping your child off somewhere they are excited to be. Roisin creates a warm, caring and fun environment, and it's obvious that she really gets to know the children as individuals. It's equally clear that she has a great relationship with our son, and he absolutely adores her.
We also really appreciate the effort she puts into organising fun activities and days out during the holidays, which our son always comes home talking about with great excitement. He has made wonderful memories there and always looks forward to his next visit.
Roisin is reliable, kind, professional and genuinely passionate about what she does. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for an outstanding childminder. Five stars are thoroughly deserved!

This is our first time in finding a baby sitter we are so glad we found Ali

My daughter began her care with Hayat when she was 16 months old. They built such a beautiful bond, which made the whole experience even more rewarding to witness. The only reason we left was that we moved to a different area, making the journey too far. Otherwise, she would have absolutely continued under Hayat’s care.
From the very beginning, communication was excellent. I was kept updated on my daughter’s day, any struggles, milestones, and achievements. Hayat always made sure to tell me whenever she reached a new milestone or learnt something new, and she constantly encouraged her development. She grew so much during this year, and I truly believe Hayat played a big part in that.
One example of this was my daughter’s walking journey. She started walking quite late, and Hayat got her a walker, kept me updated on her progress, and encouraged her every step of the way. Now I have a little toddler who runs everywhere. She also fully supported my wish to raise my daughter bilingually by providing books and games in my language, which meant so
much to me.
Throughout our time with her, I found Hayat to be incredibly helpful and flexible. Although she had a structured routine for all the children, she always did her best to accommodate us whenever she could. During our final month, while we were moving house, she even picked my daughter up and dropped her off each day, which made a very stressful time so much easier.
A wonderful part of my daughter's time there was the variety of experiences she had. Practically every day, she visited a different stay-and-play, giving her plenty of opportunities to socialise with other children and enjoy a range of activities. During the warmer months, they also went to farms, zoos, splash parks, and other outings. I loved knowing that she regularly got out, explored, and had so many enriching experiences.
What stood out most was how warm, caring, and genuinely invested Hayat was in every child. My daughter was welcomed with cuddles and encouragement, and I was always kept informed if she was having an off day, just as her achievements were celebrated. Hayat also surprised my daughter with thoughtful little gifts from time to time, which she absolutely loved (and
so did I!).
Beyond the care she provided, Hayat also gave my daughter the structure and boundaries children need to thrive and knew when to be firm when necessary. My daughter absolutely loved her and grew so much in confidence while in her care. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Hayat as such an important part of my daughter’s early years, and I couldn’t recommend her more
highly.
We have had a wonderful experience with Ali. She is kind, caring, and gentle with our newborn, giving us complete peace of mind. She is reliable, attentive, and treats our baby with genuine warmth and affection. We are very grateful for her help and would happily recommend her to any family. We look forward to having her help us again in the future.
We couldn't choose better childminder. I would highly recommend Dolly to everyone who is looking for reliable, helpful and friendly person. Our son really likes to spend a time with her. We are receiving photos and updates few times a day. We are grateful for everything what Dolly is doing for our son and us. She is trustworthy !
Lizzie has looked after both of our boys from 9 months old and from day one she has been incredible. She has the most calm, loving nature about her and provides a true home away from home experience. Her house and garden provide all the safe space the children need, along with outings that she takes the children out on.
You are given regular updates throughout the day, the children are fed the most lovely food, and nothing is ever too much. Such a wonderful childminder who you can really count on for looking after your little ones

Naghma Aunty has taken wonderful care of my daughter, Noor Fatimah. She is kind, caring, patient, and always makes Noor feel safe, happy, and loved. I have seen such positive growth in my daughter while she has been in Naghma Aunty's care.
She provides a warm, clean, and nurturing environment, and I always have peace of mind knowing my daughter is with her. Noor enjoys spending time there and always comes home happy.
I highly recommend Naghma Aunty to any parent looking for a trustworthy and dedicated childminder. Thank you for all the love and care you have given to my daughter Noor Fatimah.😍
I cannot recommend Pauline highly enough. Choosing someone to care for your child is one of the biggest decisions you'll make as a parent, and from the very beginning, Pauline made that decision so easy. She is absolutely deserving of her 5-star rating and has exceeded every expectation we had.
Our son spent a wonderful period of his early years with Pauline, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for a more loving, caring and dedicated childminder. He adored her so much that he called her "Nanny Pauline," which perfectly sums up the special bond they built together. Every morning he was excited to go to her house, and every evening he came home happy, full of stories and eager to tell us about his day. As parents, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child feels safe, loved and excited to be where they are.
One of the things that really sets Pauline apart is the incredible variety of outings and experiences she provides. She doesn't just look after children – she gives them opportunities to learn, explore and experience the world around them. Throughout his time with her, our son enjoyed regular trips to local farms, soft play centres, children's centres, and toddler groups, as well as attending toddler parties and seasonal events. These outings helped him build confidence, develop social skills and make lots of lovely friendships with other children. It was wonderful knowing he wasn't simply spending his days indoors, but was constantly being encouraged to explore, play, learn and interact with others in different environments.
Pauline also plans lots of fun and engaging activities at home. When the weather was hot they would have fun in the pool, and the fantastic garden, very child friendly. with a variety of toys. Whether it was arts and crafts, sensory play, reading stories, messy play or outdoor activities, every day was varied and stimulating. She clearly puts so much thought into making learning enjoyable while supporting each child's development through play.
She has also been an incredible support with important developmental milestones. She worked closely with us during our son's potty-training journey, providing consistency, patience and encouragement, which made such a difference. Our son was also a very fussy eater, and Pauline never gave up encouraging him to try new foods. She was patient, supportive and always communicated with us about what he had eaten and how he was progressing. Her partnership with parents is something we really valued.
Communication has always been outstanding. Pauline kept us updated about his day, his activities, his achievements sending pictures which was always lovely to see and anything we needed to know.
Another quality that really stood out was her flexibility. Life as a parent can sometimes be unpredictable, and Pauline was always understanding, accommodating and willing to help wherever she could. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and she genuinely cared about supporting not just our son, but our whole family.
Most importantly, Pauline treated our son like one of her own. He was cared for with so much kindness, patience and affection that leaving him each day was never difficult. We always knew he was safe, happy and loved.
As our son now moves on to nursery, it's emotional saying goodbye because Pauline has been such an important part of his life. The confidence, independence and social skills he has developed during his time with her are a credit to the care and dedication she has shown every single day.
If you are looking for a childminder who is warm, trustworthy, experienced, nurturing and genuinely passionate about helping children thrive, then I honestly don't think you could find anyone better than Pauline. We will always be grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.
Fateha has been super caring with my baby and they formed a bond very quickly. She was always open to following my way of doing things which gave me a lot of comfort. She is very knowledgeable about childcare and safeguarding. She has a wonderful presence, is always on time and very trustworthy. I am really grateful to have found her. I recommend her without a doubt!
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder than Murdina. She has looked after our son for four years, providing a nurturing, safe, and loving environment where he was always cared for as an individual. She truly tailors her care to each child’s unique needs, helping them grow at their own pace.
Murdina keeps us updated throughout the day and the kids are lucky enough to engage is a huge range of activities which help broaden their horizons and see more of the local community.
Our son wasn’t ready for a large group childcare setting when we first took him to Murdinas but thanks to her patience, one-to-one attention, and encouragement, he has flourished. Choosing her as our childminder has been the best decision we have made for him. She has given him the confidence, independence, and social skills he needed, and he is now starting his school journey with so much confidence.
We will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication she showed our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder who genuinely puts children first.
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to send our daughter to Katie’s childminding setting. From day one, it has been such a huge relief and reassurance for us as parents.
Since starting, our daughter’s development has flourished—she has learned so many new skills and her speech has improved noticeably. Katie and Lisa do an incredible job organizing so many fun, creative activities that make learning feel effortless for the children. Our little girl is so happy attending the setting and genuinely looks forward to going on her days there.
A special mention has to go to the fantastic meal provision! Having Katie prepare all of her meals has eased so much pressure on me as a mum, especially knowing she is getting such a great, varied range of foods.
The care and attention Katie and Lisa provide is exceptional. They are thoroughly professional, and we always look forward to seeing updates, photos on Tapestry, and reading our daughter’s daily diary to see what she’s been up to.
We truly can’t thank you both enough for everything you do. We are so impressed and couldn't ask for better care for our little girl!

Our daughter has been with Sally and Colin since she was 10 months old until 4.5 years. She has been so happy there from day 1 and we could not have been more pleased with the wonderful environment they’ve given her. Wonderful days spent outside, amazing themed parties, so much lovely arts and crafts and just a magical, special place.
You honestly could not find a better, more homely, fun environment for your child. We feel truly lucky to have found them.
