Joanne is an incredible childminder. She is warm, calm and approachable and my little one was instantly comfortable in her home from his first visit.
Her setting is great; safe, clean and bright, with a great selection of toys and books, that the children have free access to.
Joanne sends regular updates and pictures during the day and my little one always looks happy and relaxed. Her communication and openness make asking questions easy, and I am always reassured she has the right approach.
Joanne was so flexible with settling in and I really felt that she had my little one's best interests at heart and had a great approach that worked for him, which was very reassuring right from the start.
Now my little one is settled with her (which happened so quickly!) he runs in every morning and is happy to see me go. He loves his trips to the playgroups and parks and gets on well with the other children Joanne minds. He comes home happy each day, tired from his many adventures. It's clear she creates a great atmosphere for all the children and that they feel safe and cared for with her.
My little one sleeps and eats well with Joanne because he is comfortable and happy, and her communication in ensuring this has been fantastic.
I can't recommend her enough.
My daughter has been cared for by Sandra for over 3.5 years, since she was 5.5 months old, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. From the very first day, she created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where my child has thrived. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for the children in her care shine through in everything she does.
Even now that my daughter is in school, she still looks forward to spending time with her during the holidays — which says everything about the bond she has built. She goes above and beyond every single day, whether it’s planning fun activities, supporting learning, or simply being a comforting and reliable presence.
I am incredibly grateful for the role she has played in my child’s early years. I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and exceptional.

My son started when he was almost 11 months old and had settled in pretty well! He is now become so accustomed to going 3 days a week and looks forward to going to spend a full day! He has learned so much already and is only just turned 18 months! He has a great routine that Bisantha has introduced and we can see he really enjoys his time there! Would really recommend Bisantha!
Dawn is absolutely lovely. We used her as a one time babysitter while we visited the Oxford area for a wedding. As we don't live in England, I was nervous to interview and hire a stranger to watch my five year old. She was quick to respond to messages, chatted with me via video call, and had one of her grandchildren with her, which really helped my nerves. The day of the event, she was on time, got to know my son, and I felt really secure leaving him with her. My son can be high energy and she matched that, enthusiastically. They went to the adventure park at Blenheim, had dinner, and then bedtime! I hope to visit the area again and would absolutely hire her again!

Tina has had our son since December 2025 and he is thriving in her care. He’s happy at drop off and collection and making excellent progress with her. He’s with her four days a week and moving to five in September. They’re out and about most days exploring playgroups or visiting the library. We receive lots of photos and check ins through the day to know how he’s doing which is lovely. It is clear on the photos and in interactions how happy our son is in her care. Would absolutely recommend!

Charlie collects our 7 year-old twins and 4 year-old twice a week.
She looks after them until we finish work.
She has never let us down.
The kids love her and we find her very friendly and calm.
She adjusted her hours in the half term to help us with work commitments.
We would definitely recommend her!
Sultana has always been loving, caring, and incredibly supportive. She made my son feel as though he was part of her own family, and he truly loved spending time with her. She played a huge role in supporting his development and always took the time to nurture his growth and confidence.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dedicated, and genuinely passionate about childcare. She is excellent at what she does, pays great attention to detail, and truly cares for every child in her care. The love and care she has shown my son is clear in how happy, comfortable, and secure he feels with her.
Ana has been working with my 7 year old daughter for several months now and I can't recommend her enough - I have seen such an improvement in my daughter's confidence and Ana is just lovely with her. She is so encouraging and really focused so they cover a lot within the hour slot. Thank you so much Ana
My 13 month old baby started at Georgina's recently, I am so pleased I found her as I know my baby is taken such good care of with her.
Georgina sends me lots of photos throughout the day. I highly recommend Goeorgina's childcare services, couldn't do it without her. My baby has already settled in ever so well.
My daughter has been in Fabiana's setting for 8 months now and she loves going. She talks about Fabi and the other kids when away from the setting for a few days on holidays. Fabiana encourages play outside, has wonderful educational activities organised and makes delicious snacks for the kids. I took the time to find a great childminder and I am so happy we found Fabiana, she is truly the most well rounded childminder you could find.
Rhianna has been a part of our family for six years and I’m truly sad as I write this, knowing that come September she will have a less prominent role as my children’s third parent. I say ‘less prominent’ because my (nearly) seven year old son has promised to still pop in for tea at hers when he’s ‘a grownup’ and because both he and my (nearly) four year old daughter fully intend to visit in the school holidays. Apart from a brief settling in period (made significantly easier by Rhianna’s outstanding experience with children), both my kids have happily skipped off into her house every day and come out beaming with handfuls of artwork, baked goods or fantastic stories of their days out. I feel truly fortunate to have found Rhianna on here: From day one when I dropped off a very clingy 11 month old to year 3 when I dropped off a second clingy 11 month old to our sixth year preparations for school, not once has she dropped the ball. Her home-from-home setting is filled with love, kindness, fairness and consistency. The children love her to bits, willingly respect her rules (far more than they do mine!) and they respect and care for each other. Knowing that they have always been safe, happy and amazingly well educated has significantly lessened the worries of being a working Mum. I have never once felt my kids have lost out (despite spending 44 hours a week with Rhianna) – She has only enriched their little lives, nurtured them like her own and set them up so well for the big wide world of school. There is no doubt she has our children’s best interests at heart.
As a parent, I find Rhianna immensely organised and I am always struck with her ability to keep her policies, menus and lesson plans updated. We receive a termly lesson plan from her which details theme of the week and the planned activities for each day. This is immensely helpful in planning how to dress children (for example for muddy walks, music classes, playgroup, messy play, baking, the zoo or the beach). She is also top notch at updating us during the day: we will always receive a timely update on any illness or injuries (for example a grazed knee on the school run) and just the right number of photographs so we know what the children have been up to, including their important achievements. Rhianna’s organisation also helped both my children safely navigate a milk allergy. Rhianna has always worked as a team with my husband and me, always to the benefit of our children. We have a most thorough update at the door each evening and she has worked with us on behavioural issues and been an integral part in getting both children potty trained too, always ensuring the praise or rewards we were offering at home were continued into her setting.
Rhianna’s setting benefits from a small number of children which has meant my children have always felt comfortable and have developed some wonderful friendships. At the same time, it allows Rhianna to individualise her sessions to the children she has: My son went through a stage of being fascinated with buses – so she made sure he was able to have a bus ride into town. My daughter is very crafty, so she has plenty of time to exhibit her artistic talents. From the age of two and a half, she has held a pencil correctly and this is undoubtedly due to the encouragement Rhianna has provided. Earlier this year, she was desperate to write her name and Rhianna gently and patiently supported her in this. My son, conversely, was not remotely interested in crayons or writing, so Rhianna used her own creativity to ensure he was exposed to plenty of activities: playdough, threading and ‘tweezer games’ to strengthen his hand muscles in preparation for writing. In addition to the small group of regular attendees, the children get to meet with other children at play groups and combined childminder activities. My children have had experiences which will prepare them for life: learning to use zebra crossings during ‘Road Safety Week’, visiting the dentist and learning to brush teeth for ‘Oral Health’ or visiting the local Temple, attending the Gurdwara and learning about Black History Month to promote their understanding of diversity. Finally, Rhianna’s home is immaculate, her garden a safe, fun place to have daily outdoor time and her family members loving and kind to our children.
I truly believe we have had the best childminder and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Jag has been an absolutely wonderful childminder for our family. She has looked after both of our children from the age of 6 months, and over the past five years we’ve seen just how dedicated, reliable, and caring she truly is.
She provides such a rich and engaging environment for the children, with regular trips to the library, park, museums, and a variety of social activities each week. At home, they enjoy baking and creative play, and we always receive daily updates and photos, which are so reassuring and lovely to see.
Most importantly, both of our children have always gone to Jag with genuine enthusiasm, which says everything. We are incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and warmth she has shown our family. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Elisabeth
