Amy has been a wonderful part of our family life in Cambridge. She is a highly skilled and experienced nanny and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She has been an integral part of our sons’ development.
Amy is deeply embedded in Cambridge and knows lots of parents and playgroup organizers who all think the world of her (they’ve told us so, unprompted, many times). Amy has helped our son make friends and build relationships. She’s arranged social plans for our son with other families, and during term breaks (when playgroups are on break) has arranged outings with friends to the zoo and museums to keep things fun.
Amy is patient and kind. She is calm, even keeled, and deeply in tune with our son. She has helped him grow as a little person and created such a loving, stable environment for him.
We couldn't be happier with the care Harpreet provides for our daughter. Leaving your child with someone new is always daunting, but our daughter adjusted so quickly to Harpreet's warm and welcoming environment.
She absolutely thrives there! She eats brilliantly during her time with Harpreet, and she is always so happy when we pick her up. In fact, she loves it so much that even on her days off, she asks if she can go to "school"!
Beyond her wonderful care, Harpreet puts a fantastic emphasis on early education. Our daughter is learning so much—from numbers and alphabets to fun poems and songs.
Harpreet is also incredibly accommodating and flexible, often helping us out with last-minute schedule requests, which has been an absolute lifesaver for our family.
We are so grateful to have found Harpreet and cannot recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for a loving, educational, and reliable childminder!
We highly recommend Maloryn. She was a truly wonderful nanny to our two sons (aged 7 and 4) for over a year, and we are so grateful for the care she provided them. We still try to find as many opportunities as we can for her to come and babysit occasionally as the boys miss seeing her more regularly.
Maloryn has a brilliantly child-led approach; she took the time to really get to know the boys as individuals, understanding all of their unique likes, dislikes, and personalities. She is constantly coming up with fantastic, fun crafting ideas that keep them engaged and creative.
Beyond her wonderful creativity, her core approach is deeply loving, patient, and understanding. It is abundantly clear how much she genuinely cares for our children, and they adore her in return. From a parent's perspective, she is extraordinarily reliable, professional, and an excellent communicator. She somehow always left the house so perfectly tidy and she is also an incredible cook.
Any family would be very lucky to have her!
My son absolutely loved spending time with her and was always happy and excited to see her. She puts her whole heart into caring for children and always paid close attention to sons’s needs, making sure he felt safe, happy, and cared for. She is kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely caring. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing babysitter. ❤️
I cannot recommend Natural Learners highly enough! The setting is always exceptionally clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for learning and play.
What I love most is the focus on regular outdoor play and the small group environment. Having fewer children means my child gets plenty of individual attention tailored to their specific development, which has made a noticeable difference in their confidence and skills. It’s the perfect blend of a warm, home-from-home feel and an enriched educational space. We feel so lucky to have found this setting!
Our daughter has been attended Tricia’s early years setting since she was 10 months old. She is now 3 and a half.
From the first time on meeting Tricia, we knew in our hearts that our little girl would be in safe hands. Tricia is a loving and kind care giver and our daughter absolutely loves being there during the week.
Tricia offers an outstanding selection of activities throughout the week that meet the educational milestones of all the children. Every day has plenty of variety and our daughter thoroughly enjoys this.
Tricia has also provided our family with guidance and advice which has been gratefully welcome with us being first time parents.
We are forever grateful that our daughter attends Tricia’s setting as nothing else can compare! Tricia’s setting is like a home from home where our daughter is made to feel welcome and safe whilst we are at work.
I was recently at a wedding where Kellie looked after the child of the bride and groom before hosting a pyjama film evening for all the children at the wedding. It was so nice for all the adults to enjoy the evening festivities, knowing that our children were in great hands. We were in contact with Kellie before the day, giving details to help with the evening, and Kellie took the time to know the children before the film started, so they were all comfortable and happy. Our son had a great time, and was fast asleep when we went to collect him at midnight! We can’t thank the bride and groom enough for having such a child friendly wedding, and for Kellie for making all the parents and children feel super comfortable. Would totally recommend.
Can’t speak highly enough of Charlie Bears. My daughter has been there from the start and absolutely loves it. Charlie and the team are absolute stars, we’ve been so lucky to find such an amazing nursery. I look forward to the daily photo updates to see what fun she’s been having and see her developing when we can’t be with her. If you’re looking for a nursery in Charlton Kings, this is the one. I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
Honestly wouldn’t recommend. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but the lack of professionalism and communication was just too much.
She literally drove to my house, parked outside, then texted me from her car saying she couldn’t babysit that day. No warning, despite already being outside my house. It left me completely stuck having to sort childcare last minute.
Even after that, I decided to give her one last chance as a backup babysitter, but she couldn’t even reply to my message.
When you’re trusting someone with your child, reliability is the bare minimum. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience.

My son loves going to Leanne's! We were a little worried about how he would settle in as he only attends once a week, but he settled in straight away and is always happy to go in. He really enjoys his time with Leanne and loves all the fun activities she has planned, as well as the outings they go on together. It's lovely to see how much he's learning too—he often comes home singing new songs or showing a new understanding of things he's been learning while he's there. It's so reassuring to know he's happy, thriving, and so well cared for. I would definitely recommend Leanne to anyone looking for a caring, nurturing, and engaging childcare setting!
Monica is very caring and loving with the twins. They both love her and will always give her cuddles when they see her or saying good bye. She is very attentive and observant with them and will often notice their development before even we have. She has helped with their development and introduced different toys and developmental activities as they grow. She is also firm, fair and calm with them when they are mis-behaving. Her home is immaculate and a really welcome environment for the kids. We will be sad to leave her.

We had never used a babysitter that wasn’t family before so we’re a little apprehensive. We didn’t need to worry as Becky was a hit with the children. She eased their anxieties and had some great strategies to get them to sleep. She was really calm and accommodating. We (including the children) would definitely recommend Becky again.

We're so pleased with the care our 11 year old receives from Amy. She picks our daughter up from school and looks after her at home until we get back, and from day one we've felt completely at ease.
She's caring, reliable, and has built a lovely rapport with our daughter, who always feels comfortable and well looked after in her company. Communication is great too, we always know our child is in safe hands.
We'd happily recommend Amy to any parent looking for a kind and dependable childminder.

My son started attending Little Achievers Croydon Childcare in April 2024, when he was 2 years and 3 months old. He has been part of this wonderful setting for over two years, and this has been a very important and positive experience during his early years. I originally chose Hazel as my childcare provider because I immediately loved the nursery environment, especially the garden, the welcoming atmosphere and the homely feeling of the setting. Hazel’s friendly, warm and approachable personality made me feel confident that my son would be cared for in a safe, loving and nurturing environment.
When my son first started, it took him a little time to settle, but with Hazel’s patience, support and understanding, he adapted very well. Hazel helped him feel secure and comfortable, and she regularly shared photos with us so we could see how he was doing and feel reassured about his day. During his time at Little Achievers, I have seen amazing progress in my son’s development. His confidence has grown significantly, and his communication skills have improved greatly. When he started, he had a speech delay, but with Hazel’s personalised support, guidance and the strategies she shared with us, such as Bucket Time activities, he made wonderful progress with his speech and communication.
Hazel always took the time to understand my son’s personality, interests and individual needs. She recognised his love for trains and encouraged him to explore his interests while also providing many opportunities to learn new skills and experiences. My son has become much more independent during his time at Little Achievers. As he prepares to start school, he can now put on his shoes and coat by himself, use the toilet independently, eat independently and manage many of his own routines. He has become a very sociable child who enjoys playing and interacting with others. He has also improved in managing his emotions, and Hazel’s support has helped him develop greater confidence and emotional awareness. The activities provided at Little Achievers have always been suitable for my son’s age, stage of development, abilities and interests. Hazel provides a wonderful variety of educational, creative, sensory, physical and outdoor activities that encourage children to learn through play. My son has enjoyed exploring different activities and trying new experiences, which has helped him develop his skills and confidence.
The indoor and outdoor environment at Little Achievers is fantastic. The setting is clean, safe, organised and welcoming. There is enough space for children to play, learn, relax and explore. The garden is a wonderful area where children can enjoy outdoor play and physical activities regularly. The resources and toys are always high quality, well maintained and suitable for children’s ages and interests. There is a lovely balance between educational toys, imaginative play, creative activities and physical play, creating an environment where children feel happy, comfortable and settled.
The outings and outdoor experiences provided by Hazel have been one of the highlights of my son’s time at Little Achievers. She regularly takes the children on exciting adventures to places such as the beach, splash parks, farms and many other local places. These experiences have supported my son’s learning, confidence, social skills and understanding of the world. My son especially loves going to the beach, and these experiences have created many happy memories for him.
Regarding healthy eating, I always provided my son’s food, and Hazel has always supported positive and healthy eating habits. She encouraged a positive attitude towards food and respected his routines, preferences and needs. I appreciate the importance she gives to children’s wellbeing and healthy choices.
As a childcare provider, Hazel is truly exceptional. She is caring, patient, trustworthy, professional and incredibly supportive. She has provided my son with outstanding care and has always shown genuine love, understanding and dedication towards him. I feel completely confident and comfortable leaving my son in Hazel’s care because I know he is safe, valued and supported.
Hazel has always been reliable, consistent and committed to providing high-quality childcare. Her dedication and passion for her role are clear every day. The consistency of care she provides has helped my son feel safe, secure and settled.
Communication with Hazel has always been excellent. She listens to parents’ views, concerns and suggestions and always communicates in an open, respectful and professional way. She keeps us informed about our son’s day, activities, meals, progress and achievements through the parent group and regular updates, including photos. I have always felt involved and supported as a parent, and Hazel respects our family values, routines and choices.
What makes different Little Achievers Croydon Childcare so special is Hazel herself, her passion, dedication and the exceptional support she provides to every child create a setting where children feel happy, confident and encouraged to learn. She truly understands each child as an individual and helps them reach their full potential.
I would choose Little Achievers Croydon Childcare for my son again and again. Hazel will always have a special place in our hearts because of the positive impact she has had on my son’s life, confidence and development. I would highly recommend Hazel and Little Achievers to any family looking for a childcare setting where their child will be genuinely cared for, supported and encouraged to grow. Thank so much hazel we will miss so much.❤️
My toddler started with Rose a few months ago, and I must say that I have been more than impressed by her level of professionalism and how much she has paid attention to caring for my child.
My toddler has grown so much in confidence and learning since she started so far. I love that Rose has tailored my toddler’s learning towards her interests while encouraging other aspects of her growth and development. I especially love that the Christian values that we instil at home is carried on through out the day with my toddler.
Rose is absolutely amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Looking forward to my baby starting with her once I’m back to work!!
We can't thank Leanne enough for the love, care, and support she has given my son over the past two years. She has created such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where my son has grown in confidence, learned so much, and always looked forward to spending time with her.
It's clear how dedicated and passionate Leanne is about caring for children, and knowing Osian was so happy and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind. We are so grateful for everything she has done and would highly recommend her to any family looking for an amazing childminder.
