We were grateful to have Berfin look after our little boy. Although we only worked together for three weeks as our family circumstances changed, she made a lovely impression in that short time. She was attentive and caring with our four-month-old, taking him on regular park walks and even getting him his very own library card. We'd recommend her to any family looking for a warm and engaged nanny.
Our little girl has been with tracy since october and at first i was super nervous having never really left her but honestly tracy was an absolute breath of fresh air, so open and honest from the get go could communicate with her very well leading up and during the settle in days.
Babe has come on so muchh since starting with tracy, they have lots of days out and i just love that she gets to get down and dirty and actually be a baby in tracys care. She comes home happy and dirty after a day of adventure and digging in the mud as she loves to do 🤣 we honestly wouldnt have it any other wayy! We get photos throughout the day and a informed rundown at the end of the day.
We class tracy as a friend at this point she always makes sure to check in when babe is poorly, helped us through applying for funded hours, offered pick up and drop off and just everything inbetween. We couldnt do what we do without her and we all appreciate her soo muchhh.

Our little boy joined Sara at 11 months old. He has been in her care for nearly 2 years now and has thrived, we have been so pleased with his development and the little buddies he has made. We were looking for a “home from home” environment and for him to have a consistent bond with an experienced care giver. Sara’s setting was perfect and our little boy has established such a close bond with her. Every morning, he wakes up and asks if we are going to see Sara today. When it’s not a Sara day he is always disappointed which is testament to the fun he has!
Sara is great at getting the kids out and about, with lots of fresh air and play time and plenty of crafts and learning activities as well. As first-time parents, it’s also been great to get Sara’s advice and tips on things like potty training and aligning our approaches.
It’s never easy leaving your child to return to work, but Sara’s caring nature, professionalism and experience gave us the reassurance we needed and has seen our son flourish and become so confident. We could not have asked for a better carer to look after our little boy and I would highly recommend Sara.

Leaving your baby at just one month old is something no mother ever feels ready for, but going back to full-time university meant I had to make that difficult decision. From the very beginning, Gelly made it so much easier than I ever imagined.
She was incredibly kind, gentle, and attentive with my baby, treating her with so much love and care. What meant the most to me was how she constantly reassured me—sending photos and updates throughout the day, which truly put my heart at ease.
My baby absolutely adored her, and it was so comforting to see how happy and settled she was every time I picked her up. Gelly also supported me as a new mum, giving me helpful advice when my baby was struggling with colic, which made a huge difference during those early months.
I never once felt anxious or stressed leaving my baby with her, even at such a young age. Gelly is genuinely trustworthy, caring, and dedicated, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She has been such an important part of our journey, and I’m so grateful for everything she has done for us.. we will never forget these days specially with our Sophie the giraffe ❤️❤️
Ila has cared for our 15 month old for the last 6 months and we are so happy we found her! I trust Ila completely with my baby and never worry about how he is when he is there. He always reaches out for her when we arrive which I take as an amazing sign that he is super happy there.
Ila takes the children outside every day or to super fun things like softplay or a role play cafe. She does really inventive indoors activities that feel really fun but are also educational.
I love the completely personal way in which Ila works. Our son doesn't eat much and is a bad sleeper- both of which she has gone above and beyond to accommodate him to make sure he eats and sleeps whilst there.
I wouldn't change anything about how Ila looks after our baby and definitely won't be moving him anywhere else! Thank you Ila, we love you! xx
My son has been with Yaa for 2 years now and she has been amazing. He hated after school club but has thoroughly enjoyed going to Yaa's. She is very calm, gentle, caring, nurturing, welcoming, flexable, accomodating and understands children. My son loves playing with her son during the school holidays.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our child receives from Taty and her amazing team. She looks after our little boy as if he is her own, always offering thoughtful advice and reassurance-especially valuable for us as first-time parents.
Taty creates such a warm, engaging environment and exposes the children to a wide range of activities (zoo, Kew Gardens, Transport museum, parks, library, play groups) that support their development and curiosity. It’s clear how much effort and passion she puts into everything she does.
Our little one absolutely loves Taty and the team, so much so that every morning he rushes excitedly to the door, calling her name eager to get to nursery. It’s incredibly comforting to see how happy and settled he is there.
We also really appreciate how every achievement, big or small, is celebrated. Taty and her team are wonderfully inclusive, showing genuine respect for all cultures and customs, which creates a truly welcoming environment for every family. We love the effort she puts in before every holiday to prepare wishing cards for the whole family.
We feel extremely lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare!! You would not have to worry about anything.

The most friendly, caring childminder. I honestly can only say positive things about Michelle. She got to know not only my child but us as a family and it felt like I was leaving my daughter with a family member which is what I loved! My daughters days were always filled with outdoor activities, messy plays or exciting outings to the farm etc. I loved how Michelle would keep me updated throughout the day and send me photos. It was a really hard and sad transition when my daughter left to go to school nursery at 3. She still asks for Michelle most weeks which shows what an impact she had.
Our son has been with Annalisa around a year now. She creates a wonderful home from home environment with her family and this made the settling in very smooth. Lots of activities, outdoor play and good, nutritious food cooked and provided. What made Annalisa stand out to us was the way she cares for the children, she has such a natural bond with them and made us all feel at ease and welcome the moment we met her.
Great communication and updates throughout the day, you know your child is happy, safe and thriving.
Annalisa is so good, we chose to travel 20 mins to her each day past lots of other childcare providers, and it’s well worth the drive.
We couldn’t recommend Annalisa enough.
My child had a very positive experience here. He was always treated with kindness, care, and patience, which gave me real peace of mind as a parent. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after and creates a safe, welcoming environment for them.
She is not only a great childminder but also a very kind and understanding person. I truly appreciate the way she supported my child and made him feel comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend her to other parents.

Claudia has been absolutely amazing with our daughter. She is very thoughtful, caring and makes sure she is well looked after. She makes her space feel like a home away from home and my daughter is very comfortable there. Each week she has different themes/lessons for the children which has helped to develop my daughter’s skills and vocabulary. I have peace of mind when she goes to Claudia and would highly recommend her!
Our son has been going to Hazel 3 days a week for just under a year now and we are so grateful to have her in our lives. He has formed such a good bond with Hazel, she knows his needs and personality so well and we know hes spending everyday in a loving and caring environment which is exactly what we wanted.
Development wise, Hazel goes above and beyond to ensure he is developing and we get daily updates on new words/phrases he is saying and new things he has picked up. Hazel’s communication is fantastic, you can tell she just absolutely adores her job and all the kids in her care. She goes above and beyond to always make sure the kids are doing fun activities like softplay, day trips, music class etc and he gets so much outdoor activity and adventures which we love. We look forward to many more years having Hazel looking after our children and always talk about how lucky we are to have found her.
Chloe looked after our two children (then 1 and 3 years) 2021/22 with great care and kindness and we would highly recommend her to another family. Our children loved her energy and warmth and she was great at combining structure with fun. She was pro-active in finding activities that they both enjoyed, cooked them lovely meals and was always chatting and reading with them. We found her very reliable and an excellent communicator. The only reason her employment with us finished was because we were moving away.
Beenish was able to take my son in at short notice when our previous childminder could no longer offer care. She has been attentive to his individual needs and supportive of his development. She responds well to feedback and is quick to make adjustments where needed. My son genuinely enjoys his time with her.
Leaving my children in someone else’s care after maternity leave was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Like many parents, I felt anxious, emotional, and honestly a bit overwhelmed at the thought of going back to work. But from the very first day, she completely changed that experience for me.
She and her team has been nothing short of amazing. Her warmth, patience, and genuine care for my children are clear in everything she does. My kids settled in so quickly, which spoke volumes about how safe and comfortable she made them feel. Every day, I can see how happy they are in her care—and that reassurance is priceless as a parent.
What truly sets her apart is her flexibility and reliability. Life with young children can be unpredictable, but she has always been incredibly accommodating and understanding, which has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. Knowing that I can depend on her completely has made returning to work so much easier than I ever imagined.
She doesn’t just “look after” children—she nurtures them, engages them, and creates a positive, caring environment where they can thrive. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
I wholeheartedly recommend her and her team to any parent looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated childminder. She has made such a difference to our family, and I truly couldn’t ask for better care for my children.

My daughter has been going to Mary’s for almost 4months now and she loves it ! I can honestly say I feel totally comfortable and relaxed when she’s in Mary’s care as I know she looks after her like one of her own. My daughter has a dairy allergy which Mary has managed brilliantly and there’s never been any issues. She’s friendly, approachable and always happy to help, I often say I wouldn’t have felt comfortable to go back to work if I hadn’t found her.
Elaine is fantastic. From the moment she met us and our little one she put us at ease and took a genuine interest in getting to know our son and how best to support and nurture him. It has been an absolute joy to see him thrive. Elaine has so many ways to engage and keep children entertained and thoughtfully plans fun and creative things for little ones to enjoy. Bittersweet with our little one getting bigger and transitioning to nursery. So grateful for the time he has had with Elaine and highly recommend her.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder 💕
From day one, she has been nothing short of amazing—so warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. She has been my son’s key person, and the love, patience, and dedication she shows every single day gives me complete peace of mind.
It means everything to know your child is not only safe, but truly happy, understood, and nurtured. I am beyond grateful for the incredible care she provides—she really is the absolute best.
Thank you for everything you do our favourite Aunty Mia đź’›
