Finding someone you trust to care for your children is a huge task when returning to work. Once we met Claire we felt a sense of relief knowing our little girl would be safe and cared for whilst having fun.
Our daughter is now 4 and still returns to Claire during school holidays along with her older brother. They look forward to their days with Claire which tells me they are happy to go and that means the world.
Claire is fantastic. Communication is great and I have never been worried about leaving my children there. Dont know what we would do without Claire!
My daughter has been going to Laxmi for a few months now . She absolutely loves her time there and always looks forward to going to her . We had previously put her in a Nursery where she didn’t settle well so we moved to Laxmi’s childcare . From day 1 my daughter has enjoyed her time there . We have noted a big improvement in her overall development, from being a fussy eater she now enjoys her fruits and veggies . Laxmi keeps us up to date with her progress throughout the day. She encourages healthy habits . Laxmi has also helped us out when we needed to leave our daughter a little bit earlier than her usual hours which was very kind of her . Overall ,she creates a homelike, safe , nurturing and happy environment for children . We are so grateful for her support.

My son had the most amazing time with claire over a couple of years, before he was ready to start reception. Claire’s setting was always homely and she shared her space with the children like it was thiers too. My son loved being there, some days even telling me he wasn’t ready to leave yet after an 8 hour day haha!
My neice and nephew also went to Claire’s before my son and was not only highly recommened by my family but i knew Claire from picking them up sometimes and she just had such a wonderful presence i just knew then where i would want my future children to go.
Claire was amazing at communication from daily diaries, tapestry and bump notes if ever there was an accident, she would always make sure i was aware of even the small things. Claires always up to date with education and milestones so when my son was coming up to school age he was more than ready and i honestly put that down to Claire ensuring he was, she’s not only an amazing childminder but she teaches early years curriculum to a level and I can’t thank her enough for Rios confidence in his learning and preparing him for the outside world and school. Claires family are also wonderful and my son loved being around them too, whenever they were in the setting at home time or on day trips.
Anything the children made would always come home, and day trips or park trips were a luxury, nothing was ever too much.
Her home was very clean and meals and snacks provided were always healthy options and home cooked. breakfast options were always the childrens choose from a selection and Claire worked alongside my picky eater to make sure he ate.
We were sad to leave Claire to start school but if i ever fell pregnant again, there’s only one person i will be calling for Childcare services.💕
If you're searching for someone to trust with your child's heart, your search ends with Neeta. From the very first day, the love and care she gives is something truly special — the kind you don't often find.
As first-time parents, and me being an anxious mum through and through, the thought of leaving my child with someone new kept me up at night. But after meeting Neeta, something shifted — our son instantly took a liking to her.
She didn't just ease my worries — she held them gently and showed me, with such warmth and honesty, that my son would be safe with her. That's a rare gift.
Neeta doesn't just look after children — she loves them like her own. She notices the little things, adapts to what each child needs, and never once made us feel like we were "just another family" on her list. We always knew exactly how our son's day had gone, what made him laugh, what comforted him.
Our son spent a year in her care, and I still get emotional thinking about how much he grew during that time. He built foundational skills that his nursery here in Jersey still remarks on — skills I know, in my heart, came from the patience and love Neeta poured into him every single day. The way he looks after himself, tidies up after himself, and insists on clearing up before moving on to the next thing all comes from the way Neeta nurtured him. To this day, he still asks for Nini.
She is warm. She is thorough. She is the kind of person who makes a child feel safe, seen, and cherished — and honestly, that kind of care is priceless.
Even her cooking came from that same place of love — fresh, wholesome meals that taught my son to actually enjoy good food, something I didn't expect a carer to give him. She was also so flexible with his tastes — if he didn't like something, there was always another option ready for him to try.
And through it all, she was endlessly understanding with us, never once making us feel like a burden.
If you're lucky enough to have Neeta care for your child, know that you're giving them something truly precious.
I had the pleasure of Lorraine looking after my two children when they were preschoolers. I wanted a home from home environment for my children as I had to return to work when they were 6 months old. She would create stimulating activities at home, take them out on day trips and provide nutritious snacks. She was communicative all throughout the day with updates and pictures which gave that added layer of reassurance knowing the children were young. It provided them a great stepping stone for when they eventually went into preschool nursery. Thank you Lorraine!
I can’t thank Esther enough for the love, care, and support she has given my daughter, she has created a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where my daughter feels happy, safe, and secure.
I have loved seeing all the wonderful activities she takes part in. There is always something fun, creative, and educational for the children to enjoy, and it is clear how much thought and effort goes into helping them learn and develop. Since attending, I have seen my daughter grow in confidence and learn new skills.
A huge thank you also goes to Esther’s husband and the whole team for their kindness, patience, and dedication. They genuinely care about the children and work so hard to create a positive and supportive setting.
Knowing my daughter is happy, loved, and well cared for gives me complete peace of mind. I am so grateful for everything Esther and her team have done for my daughter, and I would highly recommend them to any family.

We are so happy Marianne as our childminder. She is kind, caring and reliable, and our son (under 1) absolutely loves spending time with her. She provides lots of fun and engaging activities, both at home and out about, and he is able to play and socialise with the other children. It’s lovely to know he’s so happy, safe and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marianne!
I highly recommend our nanny. She is friendly, reliable, and always arrives on time. From the beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cares about children's development. She brings books and engaging activities and spends quality time playing with our baby in a way that is both fun and educational.
She is kind, patient, and clearly has plenty of experience working with children. I especially appreciated that she wanted to take the time to build a bond with our baby before taking on longer childcare sessions. That thoughtful approach gave us confidence and helped our baby feel comfortable with her.
Overall, we have been very happy with her work. She is dedicated, trustworthy, and has been a wonderful support to our family. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and experienced nanny.

We are so grateful that we discovered Anna and hired her to care for our 11-month-old son, she was an amazing caregiver and a wonderful, joyful presence to have in the house. We're first-time parents and have never hired a nanny before, so we weren't sure what to expect, but Anna was incredibly professional and joyful. I am still in awe of how much attention she was able to give our son throughout the day, she just genuinely loves kids. Our visit to England really would have been impossible without her. Whenever we visit she will be the first person we call, she feels like part of the family!
In addition to caring for Geordi and cooking him delicious baby meals, she also volunteered to babysit for us on many evenings so we could enjoy grown-up time in the city. That was also a big part of what made our trip so enjoyable. Overall, we just loved Anna, and we can't really imagine hiring anyone else to look after our baby.

Nagina has been our nanny since April this year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing and has become an invaluable part of our family.
She takes exceptional care of our children, ensuring they are always happy, safe, and well looked after. She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares for them, and they absolutely adore her.
What truly sets Nagina apart is that she goes far beyond the role of a nanny. She prepares wonderful, home-cooked meals for the whole family, keeps the house running smoothly, and always looks after all of us with so much care and dedication. Her support has made such a positive difference to our lives.
She is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and has never missed a day of work. Knowing that our children are in her capable hands has given me complete peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my job. I genuinely don’t think I would have been able to continue working without her support.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nagina. She is trustworthy, hardworking, caring, and truly one of a kind. Any family would be fortunate to have her, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.
My twins attended Lakshmi’s setting four four months , starting at 19 months old.They settled remarkably well from the very beginning , thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.Every morning they went in with smiles, which says everything about the care they received.Throughout their time there, they developed strong social skills , enjoyed daily activities and were consistently happy to attend.Lakshmi and her team provides a nurturing, well -organised environment where children feel secure and supported.
She has been looking after my daughter since April, and as a first-time experience leaving her with someone other than my own parents, I was incredibly anxious and nervous.
From the very beginning, she made us both feel comfortable and reassured. She is such a caring, kind, and attentive childminder, and the difference I’ve seen in my daughter has been amazing. She is absolutely thriving.
She’s been so supportive, not only with my daughter’s development but also by giving me helpful advice on healthy eating and sleep routines. She regularly takes her to playgroups where she gets to socialise with other children, and I’ve seen such a positive change in her confidence and engagement.
One of the biggest improvements has been with her eating. Before starting, she struggled with food, but now she’s eating so much better, which has been a huge relief for us.
The best sign of all is how happy my daughter is. She gets excited whenever she sees her childminder, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing she’s happy, safe, and well cared for. Even during the school holidays, we’ve stayed in touch, which really shows how much she genuinely cares.
As working parents, finding someone we could trust with our daughter was one of the biggest decisions we’ve had to make, and we’re so grateful we found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and dedicated childminder. She has made such a positive difference to our family.
We used Little Diamonds for my first and only son from an early age, as I am self-employed and needed to get back to work early.
Kirsty is a complete delight and so supportive with caring for our son and helping him develop in all areas. She is professional, warm, caring and you can see that all the children love her and the setting she has created. My son particularly loves being outdoors so it's great to have the large garden at hand and not to mention the little outings they organise.
Kirtsy was always great at giving a full de-brief of the day, including photos and comms throughout the day if required. My son loved being there and was sad to leave, but never the less I'm so happy Kirsty was part of my son's journey and story at such an early stage.

My son attended playaway childcare for over a year and he had a great experience. The staff was really friendly and supportive. My son made some great friends and he learnt so much through play.
I would highly recommend them!
Debbie has been an incredible childminder, and I can't recommend her highly enough. My daughter has been in Debbie's care regularly from just 6 months old, and has only recently finished at 4½ years old as she prepares to start Reception.
From day one, Debbie has treated my daughter like one of her own. She has always provided a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where my daughter has felt safe, happy, and loved. Knowing she was with someone who genuinely cared for her gave me complete peace of mind.
Over the years, Debbie has played such an important role in my daughter's development. She has encouraged her confidence, independence, and social skills, and has helped prepare her with all the right foundations for starting school. It's clear how much thought and effort Debbie puts into helping every child thrive.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Debbie, and she has truly been a blessing to my family. I will always be grateful for the love, care, and support she has shown my daughter over the years. I would absolutely recommend Debbie to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated childminder.

Tina, Carol and Eloise have looked after my 2 children over the past 7 years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I couldn’t have asked for better people to care for my children.
Both of my children have loved their time here and have learnt so much. I was so happy with the care they received that I chose to keep both of them here instead of moving them to nursery, as I knew they would do so much better.
They always go above and beyond, creating such a caring, supportive and fun environment. I love the daily diary, which lets me see everything they’ve been up to each day. They also create beautiful profile books filled with the children’s work and wonderful photo albums. I still look back through my oldest child’s profile, and they are memories I’ll treasure forever.
I will always be grateful for everything they’ve done for my family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff were so kind, reassuring, and supportive, which made settling our daughter in so much easier. They always made sure she felt happy, comfortable, and included, and it was wonderful to see how much she enjoyed her time there.
Knowing our daughter was happy and well looked after gave us real peace of mind. We are so grateful for everything they’ve done and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and welcoming place for their child.
Gants Hill Playgroup has been an amazing experience for my daughter Freya all of the teachers are wonderful and care for the children like their own. My daughter has learnt so much including how to write her own name and short sentences. She has learnt a bit about the world we live in and has made some wonderful friends. If you are thinking about sending your child to this nursery then you absolutely should! I feel my daughter now has a great headstart before starting school in September! Thank you for everything you have helped my daughter grow so much! Special thanks to Dawn, Leena, Nuzhat, Nihan, and Sabrina. Xxx
