My daughter is in year 4 and has been tutored by Mrs Bashir for the last few months and has gained so much confidence. I’ve been impressed with Mrs Bashir’s organisation and planning of lessons from day 1. She uses a variety of tools to teach and keeps lessons interesting. I would recommend.
My little girl absolutely loved going to Lisa’s, she would run in every morning with no looking back. Lisa really creates a ‘home from home’ which made our little one feel so safe and secure from day one.
Every morning Lisa would have set up a different activity for the little one’s to discover. Lisa always sent such a wonderful array of pictures each day and was brilliant at communicating.
She also made such yummy lunches for the kids, I was often asking for the recipes!
Lisa’s flexibility and understanding were, again, wonderful.
We will miss Lisa a lot. Really recommend her services and expertise x
We honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder. Jean is not just an amazing childminder but a genuinely wonderful human being. One of the biggest comforts as a working mum is knowing that my child is in such safe, caring and capable hands. I never have to worry about her when she's there, whether it's her happiness, nutrition, meals or overall well-being. Everything is taken care of so naturally, which makes life so much easier for a busy working mum.
She's surrounded by lovely children, has made wonderful little friends and is always coming home with stories about her activities, games, playtime and all the little things she's been up to. It's so lovely to see how much she enjoys her time there and, even more so, to see all the new skills she's picking up along the way.
Watching her learn, grow, become more confident and develop new skills has been such a joy. I can see so many positive things she's picked up during her time there, and that speaks volumes about the care and attention she receives.
We are genuinely so grateful to have found someone we can trust so completely. It makes such a difference knowing your child is not just being looked after but is happy, loved, learning and thriving. Couldn't recommend her enough!
We couldn't have asked for a better childminder for our daughter, Leyah. Mrs Wajiha Khan has been looking after Leyah since she was just one year old, and from the very first day, Wajiha has treated her with genuine love, care, and patience.
Leyah settled in so quickly because of the warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment Wajiha provides. She absolutely loves spending time in the garden, enjoying water play, attending playgroups, and taking part in the wonderful activities Wajiha organises. Leyah has also settled beautifully into the daily routine, which has helped her develop confidence, independence, and a sense of security. Another thing Leyah particularly enjoys is the delicious food Wajiha prepares. The meals are always fresh, wholesome, nutritious, and tasty, and it's lovely to know that so much care goes into providing healthy, home-cooked food for the children.
As parents, it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our daughter is safe, happy, well cared for, and excited to go each day.
What truly stands out about Wajiha is the dedication and effort she puts into every child's development. Wajiha doesn't just provide childcare—she encourages learning, communication, confidence, and independence through fun, creative, and engaging activities. Leyah has learned so much during her time with Wajiha. Her speech, confidence, and social skills have developed wonderfully, and we are so grateful for the strong educational foundation Wajiha has given her before nursery.
Wajiha is incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She always handles Leyah's playful and mischievous moments with a smile, making her feel loved, comfortable, and valued. Wajiha has built such a special bond with Leyah that our daughter genuinely looks forward to seeing her every day.
Wajiha's flexibility, understanding, and willingness to support our family's needs have also been invaluable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone who genuinely cares for Leyah as if she were one of her own.
*Thank you so much, Wajiha, for all the love, care, patience, and dedication you have shown Leyah.* You have played such an important part in her early years, and we will always be grateful for the wonderful memories, learning experiences, and strong foundation you have given her.
We wholeheartedly recommend Wajiha to any family looking for a loving, trustworthy, dedicated, and truly exceptional childminder. Any child would be fortunate to be in her care!
Lina has been looking after my daughter since Feb 2026, I couldn't have found a better person! Lina is so kind, loving and caring and my daughter loves going there. She is so reliable and honest. My daughter seems to learn something new every day and her social skills and confidence have developed so much! If I could could give more than 5 stars I would.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful nanny, and feel so lucky to have had her in our lives. She has been such a special part of our family, and saying goodbye is genuinely difficult. The only reason we are parting ways is because we are moving away.
From the very beginning, she has cared for our baby with so much love, patience and tenderness. She is incredibly calm, responsible and trustworthy, and we have always felt completely at ease knowing our little one is in her care. What makes her truly special is the love and thought she puts into everything she does. Whether reading him stories, singing nursery rhymes, taking him to the park to explore nature or simply spending time playing and discovering new things together, she makes every day meaningful and full of joy.
Our baby absolutely adores her. Seeing his happy, smiley face every day when he is with her says everything. She has developed such a beautiful and genuine bond with him that she has become so much more than a nanny. She feels like family — almost like a loving aunt who is always there to care for him, encourage him and make him feel loved and secure.
As parents, we have also appreciated her support more than words can say. She is thoughtful and wonderfully observant, always sharing little updates, valuable insights and observations about our baby’s development, personality and daily milestones. It has helped us understand him better and feel more confident as parents. She is always there for the parents, anticipating what needs to be done and offering help without being asked. Whether working alongside us as a team or taking full responsibility independently, she is someone we can always rely on. We especially love that she takes the time to understand our baby’s individual personality and needs, rather than simply following a routine. Her care is personal, intuitive and full of warmth.
We will miss her enormously, not just because she has been an exceptional nanny, but because she has become someone genuinely dear to our family. We are so grateful for all the love, care and happiness she has brought into our home and into our little one’s life.
We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. We only wish we could take her with us when we move!

Finding Justina was like finding a diamond! Time was running out to find a suitable setting, and Justina went above and beyond to not only help me, but provide the best care possible for my little girl. She's been attending since September, and she comes back absolutely buzzing with excitement having enjoyed such a good day with Justina and her family. Justina involves all the children in age appropriate activities that are not only entertaining, but educational and developmentally useful. I was nervous for my daughter starting, like any of us would be, but Justina shut down those fears almost immediately and my daughter's reaction to her, the setting and the other children shows me I made the best possible decision. I trust her to care about the children in her care like they are her own, and she does! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
I have known Mia for 6 years and have had the pleasure of her looking after all 3 of my children at a different setting since they were babies. She is very experienced and genuine and I have always trusted her whole heartedly.
I met Hollie 2 years ago at the same setting and had the pleasure of her caring for my younger 2 children. She is very caring and competent and my children were very fond of her.
Cathy looked after my baby for a few hours a week during my maternity leave and she did a fantastic job! She was very reliable and punctual, and able to be flexible around what we needed. Communication was always excellent, including sending updates and pictures about what my daughter was up to whilst looking after her. Cathy was excellent at keeping my daughter entertained, including taking her out to the playground and to see the ducks. Cathy is very friendly and approachable and always made us feel at ease when she was here. I would absolutely recommend Cathy to anyone looking for flexible childcare - thank you Cathy!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Justina. Our son started with her at just 9 months old, and over the past year she has become such a special and important part of his life. He has built such a lovely bond with her and her family, and it has been wonderful to watch.
Justina provides the most wonderful home-from-home environment, where he feels safe, loved, confident and truly at home. Her approach to learning and development is something we particularly value. She takes the time to observe each child, understand their individual interests and developmental needs, and thoughtfully create opportunities for them to learn and explore through play.
It is so lovely to see how much he has grown and developed in her care. She has played such a huge part in building his confidence, nurturing his curiosity and helping him discover the world around him.
As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is somewhere they are genuinely happy, loved and thriving. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our little boy, and we are so grateful for everything Justina does. ❤️
My daughter started with Fatima when she was just five months old, and she has received such wonderful care from the very beginning. They have always followed her routine at home, which gave me a peace of mind. Now, at 19 months, she is thriving so much and loves going there.
Her development since she's been there has been very rapid. She already recognises many phonics sounds, communicates, knows numbers from 1-10 and animals, and knows how to hold a pencil correctly and is learning how to trace lines already. This is all thanks to the kind, patient and gentle guidance she receives from Fatima.
My daughter runs through the door with a huge smile every time she arrives at the setting. We receive regular updates throughout the day, and I know she is always given fresh, home cooked food. I feel like she's home away from home, and we couldn’t wish for better care. Bless her.
Beth cares for my four-year-old son, who has additional needs. She is reliable, caring and approachable, and takes a proactive approach to supporting him. My son is non-verbal and has limited communication, and Beth makes every effort to engage with him, adapting her approach to suit his individual needs.
She maintains good standards of hygiene and personal care, which I greatly value, and is actively developing her skills and knowledge to better support him. Her warm and attentive manner gives me confidence that my son is well cared for.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a wonderful childminder care for our daughter from the age of 9 months until she turned 3. Throughout this time, Anna provided a warm, nurturing and enriching environment where our daughter was encouraged to explore, learn, develop new skills and build her confidence.
Every day brought new opportunities to learn and experience something different, from library trips, summer days out and baking during winter, everyday was a new adventure filled with various teachable moments and it was clear how much thought and care went into creating engaging activities and experiences for the children. Anna played a huge role in our daughter’s developmental growth, helping her become more independent and confident by fostering her curiosity and providing her with activities that were suitable for her growth and development at each point in time.
It has been amazing to see how much our daughter has grown during her time with Anna, not only academically and developmentally but also socially and emotionally. We are so grateful for the love, patience, care and dedication that Anna has shown our daughter over the years. She has been such an important part of her early childhood, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
We’ve had a really positive experience with Haris, who has been supporting our daughter with her learning.
Haris is professional, patient and approachable, and has a lovely way of engaging with children. The lessons are well structured while still being enjoyable, which helps keep our daughter interested and motivated.
What I particularly appreciate is the individual attention and the effort Haris puts into understanding where additional support is needed, rather than simply following a fixed approach.
Communication has also been excellent, and it’s reassuring to know our daughter’s learning is in good hands.
We’re very happy with the support so far and would happily recommend Haris to other parents looking for a reliable, caring and dedicated tutor.
Luiyana had been a blessing to me and my child for the past 3 1/2 years now.
She has a genuine love for children, which I feel is essential when choosing a childcare provider. I needed someone who would care for my child and enjoy doing it rather than (potentially) doing the basics just because they are being paid. She has always consistently gone above and beyond my expectations. (She send me video recordings of my baby’s first steps).
When my child was too young to give feedback that I'd made the right choice for her care (she was much less than 12 months old when Luiyana started with her), she would jump from my arms, into Luyiana's welcoming arms. There had never been a question in my mind that she enjoyed the times spent with Luiyana. Some parents might have been intimidated by this behaviour, but it warmed my heart that my baby was being loved when I needed to be at work.
We have now found out that my child is SEN, and Luiyana has been wonderful, supportive and understanding of her needs for several years. They have a close bond and mutual understanding.
My child is now able to communicate effectively in English and Spanish which is also down to the one to one care and attention she has received from Luiyana (who speaks in both languages).
My child is very academic for her age. She started reading at 2 years old. I give much credit to Luiyana’s continuous caring, supportive and understanding nature.
Other than Luiyana, I trust no one else 100%, (other than family) with the care of my child.
So if you're considering a local child care provider, I would only suggest you meet Luiyana before making your decision.

We couldn’t recommend Tiny Town Tots enough! They cared for our daughter from 10 months - 20 months old where she grew so much in confidence and personality. We always had complete trust in Sharon and her two daughters, and were so happy with the level of care our daughter received. It was clear that they really valued safety and hygiene, but also fun activities and learning experiences. We felt our daughter progressed so much during her time there and loved that they took the children out into nature to experience different settings. It was also clear that our daughter developed a lovely bond with all of them. We only took our daughter out of the setting because we moved out of the area. I would thoroughly recommend Tiny Town Tots to anyone seeking a caring, safe and activity-focused childminder.
