Estelle has been looking after our daughter since she was 15 months old (April 2021) and still goes back now on occasion as she loves her so much!
Estelle is nurturing, kind, friendly and has been the best person to look after our daughter. Nothing is ever too much trouble and our daughter always wants to go back. Estelle provided us with a safe and confident place for our daughter - who had never been around anyone else - due to Covid.
There are no words to describe how much we love her and recommend her!
If you’re looking for someone who will care for your child like their own, Hanan is the one! ❤️ Her warmth, patience and genuine love for children really set her apart. She creates such a happy, safe and nurturing environment where little ones can learn, grow and thrive. Finding someone you can truly trust with your child is priceless, and Hanan is exactly that person. Highly recommend! ❤️
Hanan is absolutely amazing. She is kind, caring, patient and genuinely passionate about what she does. I was worried as my child did not settle at his previous place and was always crying when we went there but after bringing him to hanans place i have seen a big difference and how happy he always is. My child is looked after, fed well and i get informed daily of the activities he does. I am very at ease with Hanan and my family have also said that they such good energy and vibes on collection. I would highly recommend Hanan.
Nafisa & her team helped us out with some last minute, ad hoc childcare while I was in London for work, & I cannot praise them highly enough. The communication was excellent, all the staff very pleasant, and they were wonderful with my little one. The location was also very handy, good tube & bus connections. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
We found Shiree using Childcare.co.uk, and have been absolutely delighted. We feel blessed to have found her childminding services. Our child started there at 10 months old, and Shiree and her team went the extra mile to make our child feel loved and cherished. We felt confident in Shiree's level of qualifications particularly as she used to manage a nursery. What we were especially grateful for is the amount of time they spent outside - every day, they went out to the park at the very least, and every week they went on amazing trips to museums, farms, play areas, and had such a wide variety of experiences. Our child would come home happy and would walk into Shiree's arms in the morning. The team also sent daily updates with details and photos, and all food was high quality and homemade. We really felt like they knew and cared deeply for our child. We feel that this has been a far more loving and nurturing experience than a nursery and do not hesitate to recommend Shiree and her team to anyone looking for a childminder.
We are incredibly happy with Tania and the care she provides as our nanny. She is a warm, caring, patient, and reliable person who genuinely cares about our little one’s happiness, wellbeing, and development. From the very beginning, she has made us feel comfortable and confident that our child is in safe and caring hands.
Tania is attentive, gentle, and understanding, and she always takes the time to make sure our little one feels happy, secure, and loved. We really appreciate her dedication, flexibility, and the effort she puts into creating a positive environment. It means a lot to us to have someone we can trust and rely on, and Tania has been wonderful in that respect.
We are very grateful for everything she does and would recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring nanny. Any family would be lucky to have Tania looking after their child!
Rhiannon was great with my baby and we agreed for her to come again. Sadly Rhiannon didn't show up and didn't notify me that she wouldn't be able to help out. When called she hung up and my message wouldn't go through. A simple message saying you can't help would suffice rather than ignoring a client. Shows a level of immaturity and you lose trust in that person caring for your child. I did have to cancel the day before Rhiannons first encounter with us and due to the short notice I paid her out of good will for the hours she was supposed to cover. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the same respect and professionalism back. On a positive note she does seem good with children.
Zahra has helped with my son and newborn and is amazing at what she does , she is very confident and this helps me relax as she knows what she is doing . She has helped with his sleep and has had him sleeping 12 hours a night and he absolutely loves her . I can leave the house knowing my kids are in the best hands. She is also very good with my newborn making sure she is safe from my toddler who is very active .
Mandy looked after our daughter for roughly 15 months, beginning when she was only 18 months old. She kept us regularly updated throughout the day on how our daughter was doing etc. which was reassuring.
Mandy genuinely cares for the children in her care and is passionate, reliable, and nurturing - qualities that are so important when choosing a childminder. I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent childcare.
From day one, Naomi has been an incredible childcare provider to have found and blessed to help us raise our daughter.
As first time parents in an overwhelming world of pressures, we were continuously asking ourselves ‘What’s the right choice?’ when facing the difficult decision to return to work when our daughter was only 11 months old. Nay’s warm, friendly and loving personality drew us in instantly, providing all the reassurance we needed (Especially when I had a little wobble!).
Not only did Nays’ patience and caring nature help to support us as parents through the guilt and separation of leaving our child with someone other than ourselves, she always made the effort to make both us and our daughter feel welcome and even at the beginning she never felt like a stranger.
Our daughter has not only grown in her development and confidence, but has absolutely flourished in Nay Nay’s care. From a combination of a varied itinerary of day trips to various play groups, music groups, forest school, library and park visits (even strawberry picking!) - combined with fun and educational activities in Naomi’s own beautiful family home – there was never a dull day!
We were always delighted to see the day’s activities, shared through regular updates and photos from Nays of our daughter and her little friends, whom I hope our daughter will share a bond for a long time to come.
For the past 2 ½ years, Nays and her wonderful family have truly been an extention of our own for our daughter, and we will forever be grateful for finding her and for all she has done for us.
If you are lucky enough, Nay Nay’s magic is not to be missed! Thank you for everything!
I was visiting Liverpool for the day and needed someone to look after my 6m old baby in an Airbnb we booked for the day. I found Gabriel and from the first intro call, she made me feel very comfortable and reassured.
On the day itself, she was absolutely lovely with my baby, and they clicked straight away. My little one has severe reflux, so I was a bit anxious about leaving her with someone new, but Gabriel handled everything so well and kept me updated throughout. Honestly, those updates and knowing my baby was in such kind hands made a huge difference. I came back and found that she cleaned all baby bottles, my baby fast asleep and well changed.
I’m really grateful to Gabriel for putting me at ease that day and allowing me to enjoy my time without worrying. It meant a lot to me, and I can’t thank her enough for being so caring, thoughtful and professional.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely lovely to care for their little one.

Lou looked after my daughter for 3 years and she is an actual gem. She has the biggest heart, she genuinely taps into the child’s likes a dislikes and cares about the little person as a person in their own right. She really works towards the children’s milestones with them, helping them learn and knows how hard it is for mums trying to rush about everywhere. Would put another child in her care in a heartbeat.
She was absolutely amazing with my daughter! My little girl loved being around her and was always happy in her company. She was very attentive, caring, and took the time to understand my daughter’s personality, preferences, and needs. She took wonderful care of her, and I felt reassured knowing my daughter was in such good hands. I would happily recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, loving, and reliable nanny.
Korine looks after our 1 year old during the week. He wasn’t used to being cared for by anyone but us in the beginning and she developed tailored strategies for him to make him feel comfortable and safe. He absolutely loves his time with her and I’ve seen him grow in confidence during his time there. She does so many activities with him and always gives me as much information and updates on his days as I need. I couldn’t be happier with how she cares for my son and how she communicates with us. I highly recommend her.
I honestly cannot recommend Lou highly enough. Finding someone you can trust to look after your child is one of the biggest decisions you make as a parent, and from the very beginning, I knew Joshua was in the safest, kindest and most caring hands. Lou has been so much more than a childminder to us, and I will always be grateful for everything she has done for Joshua and our family.
Lou is one of the most kind-hearted, caring and dedicated people you could ever wish to look after your child. She genuinely goes above and beyond in every possible way, and it is clear that looking after children is not just a job to her; it comes from the heart. She truly cares about every child in her setting, their happiness, their development and making sure they feel safe, loved and included. Joshua was never just another child in her care; he was treated with so much love and affection, almost like one of her own.
One of the things that really stood out to me was the structure, thought and effort Lou put into Joshua’s learning and development. She followed a structured learning approach similar to what you would expect in a nursery setting, helping the children learn, grow and develop while still making everything fun and enjoyable. She organised daily activities, encouraged the children to explore new things and made sure they had so many different opportunities to learn through play. You could see how much time, effort and thought went into planning activities that supported their development and helped them build confidence and independence.
Lou also regularly took the children to different groups, outings and activities, giving them experiences beyond the setting itself. What makes this even more special is that she would often put her own money towards these experiences because she wanted the children to have the very best opportunities possible. That says everything about the kind of person she is. She genuinely wanted the children to have wonderful memories, try new things, socialise and enjoy their childhood, and she was always willing to go that extra mile to make it happen.
The garden was another huge bonus, with such a lovely space for the children to play, explore and enjoy being outdoors. It gave them the freedom to run around, have fun and make memories in a safe and welcoming environment.
Something I will always be grateful for is the love and care Lou showed our family during a particularly difficult time. When we had a funeral to attend, she kindly had Joshua earlier than originally planned to help us out. She never made us feel like we were asking too much, and she was always willing to help whenever she could. Those little things make such a difference as a parent, and they show just how thoughtful, compassionate and genuinely caring she is.
Joshua also met his best friend at Lou’s setting, which is something so special to look back on. Knowing that he was not only being cared for and supported but was also building such a lovely friendship and making happy memories made the experience even more meaningful. The friendships, experiences and confidence he gained while he was there are things I will always treasure.
Lou also looked after my daughter, Isabelle, during the school holidays, and Isabelle absolutely loved going too! It meant so much to know that both of my children were happy, cared for and excited to spend time there. As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your children genuinely enjoy going somewhere and feel comfortable, safe and loved when they are there.
I can honestly say Lou became like a second mum to Joshua. The love, patience, kindness and attention she gave him meant so much to me, and I never had to question whether he was being properly cared for or whether his happiness mattered. She gave him so much more than childcare: she gave him opportunities to learn, friendships to cherish, experiences to remember and a place where he was truly cared for.
Although Lou looked after Joshua as his childminder, I am so grateful that our relationship has grown beyond that and that we are now friends. That alone says so much about the person she is. Some people come into your family’s life for a reason, and Lou is definitely one of those people.
If you are looking for a childminder who will genuinely love and care for your child, put their needs first, support their learning and development, create wonderful experiences and go above and beyond what is expected, then I honestly couldn’t recommend Lou enough.
Lou has been a saviour on a few occasions helping to look after my 8 month old. I have been able to call on Lou for some last minute childcare, she offers a very kind, caring and nurturing environment for the children and my daughter settles very well with Lou. She offers a home from home environemnt with a great variety of learning activities for the children. Lou has the patience of a saint and provides excellent care for the children she looks after. She truly is a blessing and I highly recommend
My son was with cared for by Lou, for around a year and a half from the age of 8 months. I wanted him in a home from home environment but Lou provided much more than this; He was taken on lots of adventures, and there was always an abundance of activities, geared towards his interests. Have recommended Lou many times since!
Lou was absolutely brilliant with my little one. He went to Lil Munchkin for a year when he was 3 - 4, and we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. Lou took him on so many lovely adventures and always made sure he had fun, learnt new things and made happy memories along the way.
It was so reassuring knowing Ollie was in such a caring, fun and nurturing environment. You could tell how much Lou genuinely cared about the children and wanted them to have the best time.
We’re so grateful for everything she did for Ollie and would 100% recommend Lou to anyone looking for a lovely, caring childminder! 🥰
