My son has settled in so well with Bev, she's such a pro with little ones, she really eased my anxieties with him starting childcare at the age of 1. Bev takes them out everyday, keeps in touch throughout the day with pictures and cooks home made meals which all add to why Leo loves spending time with her. Bev tailors her care to the needs of the individual child, I feel so confident with him in her care. We are sad to be moving on, which is only due to moving out of the area, and I know Leo will be too.

Jane looked after our 5 year old daughter for a few hours whilst my wife and I were at a family funeral. Jane came to our hotel (with her grandson) and met our daughter, then after a bit of a chat took our daughter away to her house which has plenty of books and toys. Alongside this Jane has a garden well equipped for the kids with swings, climbing frames and a messy kitchen! Jane served lunch and then returned our daughter to the venue we were at after the funeral. Great Service!
We honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Simone – she’s been an absolute gem for our family. Both of our kids are so happy and settled with her; it’s like a second home. She loves them like they’re her own, and the feeling is clearly mutual – they adore her.
They’ve both been with Simone since they were tiny, and over the years they’ve built such a special bond. It’s helped them grow and thrive into the amazing little people they’re becoming. Simone is so nurturing and really supports them at every stage of their development.
She keeps their days full of fun, visiting playgroups and music classes and local outings. The dinners are great- our kids have become fantastic eaters, and we credit so much of that to Simone’s encouragement and lovely home-cooked meals.
Simply put, Simone has been everything we could’ve hoped for – and more. We feel so lucky to have her in our lives.

We have had a truly wonderful experience with Mina and Ali. Our youngest has attended her setting for almost 2 years, and both our daughters go to hers during the school holidays. Mina and Ali have not only created a beautiful, safe and loving setting for the children, but we are often in awe at the level of dedication they provide. The time and effort they put into each day is astonishing. They will regularly have a themed day (everything from Pancake Day to World Turtle Day to St Patrick's Day!) with props, costumes, arts and craft and music. They take them on trips to Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace, farms and playgrounds. Each child is thrown a birthday party that is tailored to them and their interests. She even turned her living room into a winter wonderland at Christmastime, covering everything in fake snow and glitter, complete with a homemade cardboard sleigh and Ali dressed up at Father Christmas! She teaches them Spanish as well as phonics and maths, and it is incredible that our 3 year old can write her name and simple equations, and more importantly that this has never been pushed but delivered in a fun, playful and gentle way. Mina will send me dozens of photos and videos of each day our daughter attends her setting. My only regret is that we didn't know about Mina and Ali when we were looking for childcare for our eldest, as although she does get to attend during her school holidays, I'm sure she would have felt happier and more secure than she did at her nursery.
Although Mina and Ali stand out for all the trips, education and fun they provide, what we truly are grateful for is a setting where our children can thrive, because they have been shown love, respect and acceptance for who they truly are.
The impact Cheryl has had on both of my children’s early development has been remarkable. With my eldest son, she played an instrumental role in helping him reach all key developmental milestones, nurturing his communication skills, confidence, and curiosity. Her thoughtful planning and engaging activities supported his learning across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage, ensuring he was more than ready—both emotionally and academically—to begin school. Thanks to her dedication, he made a seamless transition into the school environment.
Now, with my youngest son, I am once again seeing the same high-quality care and inspiring provision. He is thriving in her setting—developing strong social skills, growing in independence, and showing great enthusiasm for learning and play. It is clear that she continues to tailor her approach to meet the individual needs of each child, creating a calm, supportive, and enriching environment where the children feel secure and happy.
Cheryl’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for the children she looks after are truly exceptional. She communicates regularly and clearly, celebrates each child’s achievements, and works in close partnership with parents to ensure the best possible outcomes. Her setting is thoughtfully equipped and always evolving to provide new opportunities for learning and exploration.
As a parent, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your children are in the hands of someone who truly understands and cares for them. I am deeply grateful for the positive and lasting influence Cheryl has had (and continues to have) on both of my sons, and I believe she is an outstanding example of what early years childcare should be.
We are a family from Thailand, and we traveled with our 4-year-old son who speaks English appropriate to his age. During our stay in Edinburgh, we wanted to join the Johnnie Walker Tour, which unfortunately does not allow children. That’s when we found Childcare.co.uk. and were lucky to be matched with Aggie.
We asked her to take care of our son for 5 hours and explore the Museum of Scotland with him. Taking a curious and energetic 4-year-old around a museum is no easy task—but Aggie did a fantastic job! From the start, she reassured us with a video call, gave us helpful advice, and made us feel very comfortable despite English being our second language.
On the day we met, she was kind, patient, and very attentive to our child. Our son had a great time at the museum—he learned so much and had so many stories to tell us afterward. We could truly enjoy our tour knowing he was in good hands.
Thank you, Aggie, for making our trip complete! 💛

My little boy absolutely loved his time with Kylie!
We used Kylie’s services for 11 months, and had a really lovely experience! Kylie’s communication and organisation is fantastic, and she’s very thoughtful with the activities she plans. My LO often talked about Kylie and her children at home and was always happy to spend his time there.
If you are in need of a childminder, Kylie comes highly recommended:)
Thanks for being so great!

We are absolutely thrilled with Parents Heart Childminding! They have been a true blessing for our family, caring for our son with such love and dedication. He is always happy to go and clearly enjoys his time there. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough—truly a thousand times over. Keep up the amazing work!

Carly was absolutely amazing, we booked her for a whole day with our 8 year old Autistic son for a wedding, we had main roles in the wedding so our attention was need for the bride and groom! Without carly the day wouldn't have been possible, she absolutely amazing!! Our son loved her and she felt like family looking after him although we'd only met the day before! Honestly couldn't recommend enough!!
Thank you so much!!
Our daughter has been in this childminder’s care since she was 16 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From day one, she settled in beautifully and has continued to thrive in a warm, nurturing, and well-structured environment.
She absolutely loves going each day and is always full of smiles and stories when she comes home. It’s clear how happy and comfortable she feels, and as parents, that peace of mind is everything. She’s developed into a confident, well-adjusted little girl, and we credit so much of that to the care she receives here.
Meals and snacks are thoughtfully prepared, and her overall wellbeing is always a top priority. We’ve never had to worry—everything is handled with professionalism, patience, and genuine care.
We’re incredibly grateful to have found such wonderful care and wholeheartedly recommend this childminder to any family looking for a truly supportive and loving environment for their child.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Mina. Our second child is now with her, and just like with our first, the experience has been wonderful. Mina offers something truly special, a real home from home that’s warm, caring, and filled with love.
Her setting is not only nurturing but also enriching, stimulating, and learning-focused. Each day is thoughtfully curated to support the children’s development, encouraging their curiosity, building confidence, and helping them grow into independent little people.
The children in her care form beautiful bonds, and Mina fosters that sense of connection so naturally. She also takes them out daily to fantastic places, parks, museums, playgroups and more, making every day a beautiful adventure.
We honestly couldn’t imagine a better person to care for our little ones. Mina is one of a kind.
Sacha cared for my two boys during their early years before they started school, and continued to provide after-school care as they grew older. Throughout this time, she consistently demonstrated punctuality, patience, and a natural ability to engage with my children.
Sacha is genuinely a caring and compassionate person. This was always evident in the way she interacted with my boys—they were always happy and excited to be in her company. Her warm, reliable presence made a lasting positive impact on our family.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Sacha to any future family. She would be an asset to any household lucky enough to have her.
Clare’s house is a family caring environment with the same level of development a nursery setting would provide. She provides structured play with different toys put out each morning to welcome the children which also encourages them to engage with their peers. It is clear Clare is enthusiastic about child development through her regular outings which she arranges twice weekly, this is an invaluable experience for our son as he visits a wealth of different places and gains knowledge and understanding of the world by doing so. Clare also ensures our son’s requirements are met by providing healthy nutritious meals which are served “family style” with the children eating communally. Often upon pick up time the children are found having dance parties in the kitchen and do not want to leave as they are having so much fun at Clare’s house. As a parent this is so lovely to see, to know your child feels at home in a childcare setting is a credit to Clare’s dedication and love for the children. We recommend Clare to anyone who is looking for a setting where a child will feel safe, confident and loved. Our son has truly thrived during his time with Clare thus far and it is a joy to see what adventures they get up to together.

My little boy was with Elizabeth for 4-5 months and in that time, his speech really started to improve. His confidence grew and when going out he started to engage more with other children.
Elizabeth is welcoming and friendly. Kids are drawn to her and she truly cares about them all.
As a last minute request, Tiney home nursery helped me with last Saturday morning childcare. The house was impressive and massive. My daughter loved the art room, she told me it was like making drawings in a forest. They read her favourite story “ The tiger who came to tea.” They went to Twickenham riverside. By 2pm, she was tired when I picked her up.
Very professional team, they showed me their DBS and level3 early year teacher qualification. They provided the meal with my daughter’s preference.
Highly recommended
I'm absolutely delighted with Zara She really care for my children. From picking them up from school to providing nutritious meals, she truly prioritizes their well-being. My daughter especially adores her and feels incredibly comfortable in her presence. Under her guidance, the kids engage in various fun activities that are both entertaining and educational.
Cintia has been with our family for two wonderful years, primarily caring for our daughter while also managing school drop-offs, pick-ups, and holiday cover for our son. She is incredibly kind, calm, and nurturing—she has become like a second mum to our daughter.
Cintia thoughtfully plans engaging daily activities, supports key developmental milestones, and has seen our daughter through nap transitions, changes in sleep routines, and the start of potty training. Her ability to adapt and support us through these phases has been invaluable.
With our son, who was initially more resistant, she has patiently built a strong bond by finding “their thing” in arts and crafts. This thoughtfulness has meant both children genuinely enjoy their time with her.
She’s well-connected with other local nannies, so the kids enjoy a busy and social routine. I always receive regular photo updates, which is very reassuring.
Cintia communicates clearly and reliably about any schedule changes, and has never been late or sick. We are only parting ways due to logistics. I recommend her without hesitation—she has made a material difference to our family’s day-to-day and she will be missed deeply.
