Amazing, family run setting with love and care for children. Highly recommended without any doubts.
From the moment I visited Nicola was warm and welcoming.
I got a feeling Nicola’s setting would be caring, fun and a stimulating place for adventures and learning.
The activities are fantastic, you can see Nicola puts a lot of time and effort into catering for all ages and individuals interest from trips out playing and exploring the world around them, crafts the list is endless. One day is never the same.
My daughter settled in straight away and loves interacting with Nicola and her family.
This is something you don’t get from a nursery setting.
My daughter is very happy and content at drop off and pick up which is reassuring as a parent.
This is all thank you to Nicola for her exceptional attentiveness to the needs of my child while in her care.
Ladybird club has been absolutely wonderful for my 1.5-year-old over the past six months. From the very beginning, Teresa and Team created a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment where my child quickly settled in and began to thrive. It’s been amazing to see how much my little one has grown in confidence, communication, and social skills during this time. I truly appreciate the care, patience, and attention Teresa gives—she really treats each child as an individual. I feel completely at ease knowing my child is in such loving hands every day.

Our daughter spent 3 years with Katie and she absolutely loved going there each day!! She excelled in Katie’s care, and I loved hearing about, and seeing pics of all of their activities throughout the day. Katie would take the children she looked after to baby groups, on day trips, to parks and I was really happy with the home setting that Katie provided, especially when I went back to work and our daughter was still little. Thank you Katie 😀
We booked Hannah to look after our 4 year old son while we were out for the evening. Hannah offered to come and meet us all at our house prior to the evening and was an instant hit with our son.
On the night, Hannah made Ellis feel at ease and settled him well after we left, a situation he wasn't familiar with. She handled bedtime brilliantly and the feedback we got from our son in the morning was to ask when she was coming back
My daughter has been with Elaine since she was just 9 months old she’s now almost 3 and we honestly couldn’t imagine a better person to care for her. Elaine is simply amazing. Over the past two years, she’s helped our little girl grow into a bright, confident toddler who is already spelling her name! The learning, love and support she provides are second to none.
Elaine communicates with us daily, always sending lovely photos and detailed updates about what the children have been up to. It gives us such peace of mind and brings so much joy to see our daughter so happy and engaged. She absolutely loves going to Elaine’s it really does feel like an extension of our family.
Elaine’s support goes beyond just childcare she’s been a huge help to us as parents too, always ready with kind advice and the benefit of her years of experience. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and all the children absolutely adore her.
We even moved out of the area last year and despite now having an hour-long journey each way in traffic, there was never any question about taking our daughter out. Elaine is one of a kind and we just know we wouldn’t find anyone else like her.
When the time comes for our daughter to start school, we’re going to be absolutely gutted to say goodbye. Elaine might just have to adopt us all! ❤️
Amanda has been looking after our little boy for months now and although he was a little shy at first, he easily bonded with Amanda who goes above and beyond when looking after him. She happily plays with him and ensures that he is well looked after including helping out with meal times and putting him off to bed. When the doorbell goes, he knows exactly when it is Amanda and is always happy to see her.

I contacted Eve in January, and was very pleased with how promptly she replied to me. I am a single parent with 3 children, I work and I study and at the time of contacting Eve my husband came back so Eve nicely stayed on standby, as we saw to the children together, once again my husband left at Easter, and it was Eve I could reliably turn to.
A lot of people can easily write a bad review, because they are snobby and possibly put themselves and their children on a ridiculously high pedestal, but from my experience, Eve is attentive, considerate, passionate and caring. I KNOW that she cares about the children she cares for and their parents . We may not have always seen eye to eye on certain things but I am grateful for the support you have provided me and my 2 youngest children. My children had a great time with you and your assistant, who I loke very much and that is the main thing.
THANK YOU 5***** STARS

We feel incredibly lucky to have found this wonderful nursery for our child. From the very beginning, the team has shown such warmth, dedication, and professionalism in supporting our child’s early development. Their approach to education is thoughtful, engaging, and child-centered, with a strong focus on learning through play and exploration.
The home nursery is beautifully set up—inviting, safe, and full of creative learning opportunities both indoors and outdoors. We’ve especially loved the way they celebrate cultural events and festivals, creating such rich and meaningful experiences for the children.
Communication with us has been consistent and reassuring. We always feel informed about what our child is doing and how they are progressing. It’s clear how much care and attention goes into every aspect of their work.
Since joining the setting, we’ve noticed a remarkable growth in our child’s confidence, social skills, and curiosity. One standout moment for us was seeing our child overcome their initial shyness, thanks to the gentle encouragement and support from the staff. They’ve truly made a difference in helping our child feel secure and eager to learn.
We couldn’t ask for a better start to our child’s early years—thank you for everything!
I’ve known Katie for many years and she looked after my daughter for 3 years. She provides such a fantastic home from home environment. My daughter loved going to Katie they always have so much fun with arts and crafts, day trips toddlers groups etc. I couldn’t speak for highly of her.
Ceri is a fantastic nanny. She does monthly weekend shifts for us - our toddler has taken to her really quickly (and he is not a child who likes separation)! She is highly professional, responds quickly, reliable and very friendly. She engages F in a range of play activities and crafts and always sends regular updates and photos to reassure us all is well. She has no issue adapting to preferred routines and is super capable.
I have PTSD and it is very difficult for me to leave my child in the care of anyone else outside of the family but from the outset, Ceri responded to all my questions in great detail and supports extended rear facing which was important to us on the occasions F is in the car with her. I felt really confident trusting her with my son & she really helped me feel secure and at ease which lowered my anxiety around leaving F. I know he is well cared for and she respects our parenting style and values.
Her little girl is a testament to her wonderful parenting and expertise with kids and F loves playing with her too when she has been over on shifts. I asked F if he enjoyed his day last weekend and when he said yes, I asked what he enjoyed most? "PAY CE PAY CE" - we quickly established that meant playing with Ceri!!! Thank you so much Ceri. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone - I wish we had pursued a nanny sooner!
My daughter will not stop raving about Mahnoor. She is incredibly excited to go in the mornings and is obsessed with her. Mahnoor not only makes it a very fun and loving environment for the children, but very educational and nurturing. With outings and interactive days. Even the gloomiest day is made fun. My daughter has throughly enjoyed her time there and has really thrived under Mahnoor’s care.
My daughter has gone to Samiya’s for childminding since she was 9 months old and is soon to turn 4 years old. Like any first time parent it’s the hardest decision to leave your child with a childminder. But right from the first day just viewing Samiya’s home my daughter felt instantly at ease. Samiya has also been brilliant at keeping you as a parent at ease. There’s communication on your child’s development, any updates and concerns if any.
My daughter has thrived, her development taking leaps and bounds. From her communication, to what she’s learning. She’d wake up excited to go in and when collected have the biggest smile on her face. Even the little day trips Samiya has taken my daughter and her friends on, to places I’ve not even visited yet! She’s learning about the world, she’s learning about kindness, she’s learning educational things in a fun way. Even down to the meals provided, I know everything she’s eating is well prepared and nutritious. She’s former very close bonds with other children and has genuine love for her second family.
Every lady employed by Samiya is absolutely wonderful, they are so kind and loving, and loved very much by the children. There’s communication decision to have left my child in her care was one of the best decisions made for our family.
Samiya and her team are truly a blessing. They care very deeply for each child and I know my child wouldn’t have gotten this level of care anywhere else!
Exceptional investment from these ladies for the little minds of our future, they stop at nothing to make sure each child gets a unique learning program to develop.
My child is sen and the commitment and support they offer me and my family is unconditional.
They safeguard my child at all costs and are open and transparent with me with all learning and care provided. After a poor experience elsewhere Gem and her team really supported us every step of the way, Gem ensures that is and parents are also supported and well and our babies and for that I’m truly grateful.
Anyone who has a bad word against these girls either don’t want to pay their bill or are jealous of the heart and soul this setting provides!
Keep doing what you’re doing!!
We had the pleasure of having Lisa care for our son a few times, and from the very first meeting, she created a truly special bond with him — something quite rare as he’s usually cautious around new people. Her warm, intuitive approach put him immediately at ease.
She goes above and beyond in her role, not only providing exceptional care but also supporting us as a family — helping with household tasks while our son sleeps, always proactively and thoughtfully. Her ability to keep him engaged and happy throughout the day, and even settle him to sleep with ease, is remarkable given how challenging that can usually be.
What stands out most is the genuine affection she shows. It's clear she has a real passion for working with children, and it shines through in everything she does. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her support, and we can’t recommend her highly enough.
Since my daughter started with Jana at 18months old (she is now 5) Jana has been so great with her treat her like her own child. Taking her out to different soft plays, play groups, going to ferry meadows and many different parks. As well as doing arts and crafts and baking at her home. Jana is a lovely, friendly and caring lady and I want to truly thank her for everything she has done for my daughter. Although she is not with Jana full time she still drops and picks her up from school. I would highly recommend and truly thankful for everything.
My little one has been with Rabia for over 1 year now and Rabia has been brilliant. She is caring and attentive to the children, takes them out daily and ensures they get plenty of outdoor time. She is very flexible and always goes above and beyond to try and accommodate with any needs.
I was very anxious leaving my then 2 yr old who was extremely fussy and clingy, but Rabia made this experience stress free for me and I wouldn’t hesitate using or recommending her again.
I met Shara 6 months ago. She's very nice to my daughter, and she's always punctual. She never let me down when I needed her, even when I called her a few times at the last moment. I recommend Shara for babysitting your children; you will be content with her work with them.
We have been using Rabia since end of last year 2024. I admit I was apprehensive at first due to my child never having been in any childminder setting before this. Needless to say, Rabia understood all our concerns straight away, she accommodated to all our needs and makes sure to give regular updates throughout the day. She looks after my child and the other children with care and compassion. My
Child is due to finish in the summer and I will be using her for my next child when the time comes as she is so great at her job. She is so kind and caring, always smiling happy and really puts the care of the children at the forefront of everything she does. She makes sure they regularly have time outside to play and stay active which is so important for young children. She ensures hygiene and healthy meals are a priority which was extremely important to me. Rabia is brilliant and her experience and expertise shows in how well the children in her care thrive.
