Leaving Little Achievers Childcare as our son starts school is truly a bittersweet moment for us. I cannot put in to words how fast the time has gone and how far our little boy has come!
From the very first day, our son was welcomed at the setting with warmth, patience, and genuine love. It was clear to me from the first time, that this childminder poured all her passion and knowledge in what she does. The setting is a safe and happy place where children can truly grow, learn, and thrive.
Over the years, she has nurtured his confidence, encouraged his curiosity, and supported his social and emotional development in ways that have amazed us. Every day was filled with fun activities, creative play, fantastic outings and gentle guidance — and we’ve seen him blossom into a kind, independent, and joyful little boy.
What makes Little Achievers Childcare so special is not just her professionalism, but the way she treats each child in an individual way and provides/tackles exactly what is needed at that moment. She has been a constant source of reassurance for us as parents, sending daily lots of beautiful pictures and updates about our son. Always communicating openly and clearly as well as celebrating every milestone with us.
We feel very confident about him going to school thanks to the strong foundation he built here.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had her in our son’s early years, and we know the values and skills she’s helped instil will stay with him for life. We cannot recommend her highly enough — she is truly one in a million.
Thank you for everything. You will always have a special place in our hearts. ❤️
Our little boy Harry has been attending Hazel a day a week for just under a year. He has absolutely loved his time at her setting. Hazel provides a wonderful environment for children to develop and thrive. She provides stimulating activities, takes the children on exciting trips, and provides an all round excellent experience for the children. Our boy will miss going to her very much. He has come on leaps and bounds thanks to her. Thank you Hazel for all you’ve done. Alex & Ellie
Nesh and her team have been nothing short of exceptional.
Our daughter has attended this childcare setting since she was just five months old and is now 11 years old. I think that alone speaks volumes about how happy, settled and confident we have always felt leaving her in Nesh's care.
Over the years, our daughter attended full-time, then moved on to school drop-offs and pick-ups, and has continued to attend throughout school holidays. To her, this setting has always been a second home, and that is exactly what it has been. Every child is treated as part of the family, and she has built many wonderful friendships during her time there.
As this is likely to be her final summer needing childcare, it feels like the right time to reflect on just how significant a role Nesh and her team have played in shaping the kind, caring and confident young person she is today. She has benefited from being surrounded by older children who inspired and guided her, and then, in turn, becoming one of the older children who looked out for and supported the younger ones.
The environment Nesh has created is warm, nurturing and full of opportunities for children to learn and grow. Her team of dedicated carers shares her remarkable attention to detail and commitment to every child's wellbeing and development. The children enjoy a wide range of activities, as well as regular outings to places such as local parks and farms, creating memories and experiences they genuinely look forward to.
Communication with parents has always been excellent. Through the Baby Days app, we have received regular updates and accumulated countless photographs and memories over the years that we will treasure forever.
Most importantly, we have always known that Hope was safe, happy and well cared for. As a parent, there is no greater reassurance than that.
We are incredibly grateful to Nesh and her team for everything they have done for our daughter over the past decade. I would wholeheartedly recommend this setting to any parent looking for a loving, professional and nurturing environment for their child.
Thank you, Nesh and team, for being such an important part of our precious girl's childhood.
my son has been going over to Val’s for a year now since he turned 6 months . She has been absolutely a God sent . As a parent I could not tell you how much at ease she made the process and also how much she cares for my little one . It’s a safe and loving environment for my little one and he has been thriving and loving it .
We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder. She has cared for both of our girls since they were just 6 months old, and knowing they are loved, safe, and genuinely cared for has meant everything to us. She creates such a warm, nurturing environment where the children are encouraged to learn, explore and grow at their own pace. Our girls absolutely love going and have built such a lovely bond with her. One thing we’ve always appreciated is how flexible and accommodating she is. As a family, that support has been invaluable and has taken so much stress away over the years. She is always planning fun and enriching experiences, taking the children to groups like Jo Jingles, Forest School, picnics, parks, soft play and so many other outings that keep every day exciting. The girls have had so many wonderful experiences and opportunities because of her, and it’s been amazing to watch their confidence and development flourish. She always keeps us updated, celebrates their milestones, and truly treats them as if they were part of her own family. Her kindness, patience and genuine love for the children shines through in everything she does. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our girls and our family – we will always be so grateful

Angela started looking after our daughter nearly 6 months ago and we have not regretted that decision.
Angela makes sure to engage the kids, she takes them out to the museum, park, soft play, and even at home in the garden the do lots of activities.
Our daughter has since improved in her development and we are happy.
Thank you Angela for how you care for our daughter.
I needed someone to look after my daughter while I am at work. Chandani was the best person I found as childminder to put my mind at ease while I am at work. She reassured me and given me a summary of the day at pick up time. I felt confident with her. My daughter had a good playful time and she wanted to go back the next day.
Ana is a kind, gentle, and caring nanny with many years of childcare experience.
She joined our family Oct 2025 to Feb 2026, when our son was around six months old and cared for him with warmth, patience, and genuine affection. She prepared healthy meals, kept him engaged through a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, sang to him, and created a nurturing and stimulating environment that supported his development. During the few months she worked with us, Ana was reliable and a pleasure to have in our home.
I would be happy to recommend her to any family looking for an experienced and compassionate nanny.

Leah was a godsend. She stayed with me (a first time solo mum) for two weeks and helped me establish a routine early on which my baby responded really well to. She also taught me a lot in the process. Leah is very calm, gentle and clearly excellent with babies! She also accompanied me and provided reassurance when my baby had to go into A&E unexpectedly. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Ruth was literally God sent for me, after my one year old daughter wasn’t doing well in nursery I had to switch to a childminder and I immediately saw a positive change and improvement in my child. Ruth made sure she was reaching all her development milestone such as physical and motor skills with active talking, physical and emotional support and regular activities in her home, in the children centre or library. I was a new mother dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety and my daughter was experiencing speech difficulties and couldn’t walk or take the stairs with confidence. However Ruth was invested in her development. She was very supportive and was constantly encouraging her to sing songs, recite nursery rhymes, read books together every day to expand vocabulary. She would also use frequent eye contact, talk about what she was doing, point to objects, name them clearly, and ask simple questions to encourage back-and-forth interaction. You should see the smile on my face each time my daughter sings the wheels on the bus and repeat the dance moves of the song. I don’t know what I would have done without Ruth. She is exceptional and truly care about children, like genuinely! And this is so important to know you are leaving your child in good hands and in a safe space. This is my honest review, she is gem! Thank you for everything Ruth and I would definitely still use her childcare services again and again.

Della has been absolutely fantastic, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. From the very beginning she’s been so warm, flexible and accommodating, creating such a lovely homely environment where children are free to learn and develop at their own pace.
Since my daughter started attending just two days a week, I’ve seen such a huge difference in her confidence and social development. She’s really come out of her shell, and it’s been amazing to see how much she’s learned and how happy she is there. Della follows a child-led approach and is always happy to work around routines and each child’s individual needs, which has been so important for us.
The children spend lots of time outdoors exploring, playing and learning, and Della keeps me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which is so reassuring. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about every child in her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Della to anyone looking for a caring, flexible and nurturing childminder.

Geneane has been looking after our 9 month old since the start of July. We felt so comfortable with her quite soon as she’s so lovely and sweet. Our son absolutely loves spending time with her. She’s super kind and an added bonus is the fact that she leaves our home spotless anytime she comes . It really helps that she’s flexible and accommodates our needs when she can. We absolutely love having Geneane take care of our child!

I can't recommend Lou at Lou Lou's Little Ones highly enough. My little boy, Zak, started with Lou when he was just 1 year old, and from day one she made him feel so loved, safe and happy. He has absolutely thrived in her care, grown in confidence and learned so much through all the fun activities she plans. We will always be grateful for the wonderful start you've given to Zak 💙
Christine stepped in when we needed her the most. She was flexible in the timings she could look after our 2 and 4 year old grandsons. She took the eldest to nursery for us and looked after the youngest who began to feel like part of her family. With regular photos and write ups on the day, we knew he was being well cared for and very happy. I have no hesitation in recommending Christine at all.
Summer
Lynn was a godsend the moment we started working with her. She cared for our (then) 9 month old and 4 year old at our house. She was always thinking of fun and educational things to do with them and they took to her instantly. She helped us not only with the children but also around the house making amazing home cooked meals for us and the children which we all loved. If you're looking for a safe pair of hands for your children we couldn't recommend Lynn more highly. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again anytime in the future.
My son had an absolutely amazing time in Sarahs care. He settled in so well and always had a smile on his face at pickup. Her setting is lovely and clean with tons of developmentally appropriate toys for the kids to play with. Sarah always provided us with amazing feedback on how his day went and detailed updates on his development. We’re very sad to be moving on and would definitely recommend her setting to any parents who are looking for a safe and loving environment for their little ones.
My little one has only been going to Hayley since April and his time is sadly coming to an end soon but I am eternally grateful for what both Hayley and Shannon have done for him in this short amount of time!
I came across Hayley on this page when looking for childminders as I was changing jobs and didn’t want my little one in a nursery anymore, from the get go Hayley’s communication has been so good! I myself work in childcare and I know how important communication is for parents! Hayley invited me to hers for a quick chat about what I needed and once I had confirmation of my change of job my little one was booked in to start with her in April!
Since then he has grown massively with confidence, although he can be a pickle going into Hayley’s coz he likes to pull on my heart strings, once he’s in he’s absolutely fine! Hayley sends me picture updates throughout the day and happily replies to any of my messages and silly questions I have that my son has asked for at home and I’m not sure what he wants and he says ‘from Hayley’s school’😂
Not only has Hayley supported my son she has supported me with some things we have been through and I will be truly thankful for that!
If you’re ever looking for a local childminder in shoebury then Hayley is the one!
Thank you Hayley and Shannon for all that you do💕

We couldn't be happier with the care our son has received. From the very beginning, Hayley has been warm, kind, and incredibly caring, making him feel safe, happy, and settled.
It's clear how much thought and effort goes into creating a fun, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can learn and grow. Our son has developed so much in confidence, social skills, and independence, and we know that's thanks to the love and support he receives every day.
Communication has always been excellent, with updates and genuine care for our son's wellbeing and development. It's such a comfort knowing he's in such capable and caring hands while we're at work.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Hayley to any family looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about caring for children. Thank you for everything you do—we're so grateful!
