I would like to share my feedback about working with Vera. We have been in contact for over a year now, and from time to time I invite her to help me with my little one. I am truly happy that I met her.
Vera is very open, cheerful, and kind. It is easy and comfortable to communicate with her, even though her English is not perfect. She is very attentive, genuinely loves what she does, and always pays close attention to safety.
My child is always happy to spend time with her, playing, relaxing, enjoying outdoor activities, and engaging in interactive games at home. I feel calm and confident leaving my child with her when I need to go to work.
I am very grateful to have such a reliable and caring helper I can count on whenever I need support.
I highly recommend Aga as a babysitter. She is kind, responsible, and very caring. My children felt safe and comfortable with her, and they always looked forward to spending time together. Aga was attentive, patient, and great at engaging them in fun and meaningful activities. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with my children again.
My son joined Paint the Rainbow at 14 months old just as I was starting work again. I was so nervous to put my trust in someone else to care for my baby, as up until then I had been with him most of the time. Discovering that Shiree was a former Nursery manager definitely helped ease my nerves. When I went to meet Shiree at her home with my son, I felt immediately comfortable with her. She is smiley and relaxed, whilst being incredibly organised and her flat was welcoming and clean stocked with great toys. What really sold me though was when my son turned to Shiree and went to sit on her lap, something he would never do with someone other than me!
I could see he felt safe around her and felt so reassured. I do think you get a feeling when you find the right childcare provider, and I definitely did with Shiree. My son is still with Shiree and Chanel every week, and he absolutely loves being with them for the day. He gets excited to go, and when he comes home he lists off all his friends there and the fun things he does. He always comes back such a happy boy. His vocabulary, fine motor skills and joy for life has certainly expanded since being at Paint the rainbow, and I love that he gets to hang out with other children his age. The activities Shiree and Chanel do with the kids are so well thought through, perfectly appropriate for their age, educational and fun. They go outside all the time on different trips to farms, zoo's, museums and gardens and are always updating us with the fun days they have had. Overall, I honestly can't rave enough about this childminder. Shiree's expertise is very clear and my husband and I are beyond grateful that we found her.

Holly’s house is such a fun, loving and exciting setting. My daughter is happy to go every day. I am absolutely at ease leaving my daughter knowing she is not only learning but more importantly having a fun day! I get updates every day and pictures frequently which is a highlight of my day to see how happy my daughter is. She loves seeing Holly and Jon.
My daughter has improved with eating a large variety of food since attending Holly’s house, I had a struggle getting her to try foods before hand!
Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for childcare ❤️
Charnett was highly recommended to me by another parent, and I am so grateful that I took that recommendation. As a single father with limited knowledge of how things work in this country, finding the right childcare felt daunting. Charnett has gone above and beyond in every way, not only providing exceptional care for my child but also supporting and guiding me as a parent.
She has been my go-to person and a true source of knowledge, always patient, reassuring, and willing to explain things clearly. My child has thrived in her care, and it is clear that everything she does comes from a place of genuine dedication and professionalism. I cannot recommend Charnett highly enough.
We couldn’t have asked for a better nursery experience for our son.
Dana has looked after Alessandro since he was just 9 months old. From our very first visit we had a strong feeling that this was the right place for him. The setting felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, and that feeling never changed over the four years he spent there.
Alessandro was always happy to attend and truly loved being part of the nursery. He built strong, trusting relationships with Dana and the team, and made lovely friendships with the other children. We’ve seen him grow so much during his time there, both emotionally and socially, and he’s heading into reception with confidence and happiness.
We were especially grateful for the thoughtful daily feedback and the genuine interest Dana and her team took in Alessandro’s development. The home-cooked meals were also a huge highlight, still talked about fondly in our house, especially the butternut squash soup and blueberry muffins! :-)
Above all, Dana and her team provide a nurturing, supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and happy. We are incredibly thankful for the care, attention, and kindness she showed our son over the years, and we would recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a loving and reliable childcare setting.

Rafia is a wonderful childminder. She has been looking after our one-year-old for the past year and has done an excellent job caring for our child.
Rafia is very caring, professional, and friendly, with great communication skills. Our little one is always excited to go to her place every morning without any hesitation, which truly shows the effort and dedication Rafia puts into her work.
We highly recommend Rafia to anyone looking for a reliable and loving childminder.
Many thanks,
Marie is an exceptional childminder, hands-on, and always providing a wide range of engaging activities to support the children’s development.
She looked after my daughter for almost two years, during which time my daughter grew in confidence and came on so much, especially in preparation for playgroup. Most importantly, she absolutely loved being there. She was so comfortable and happy that she would walk straight in without even saying goodbye to us, wanting to see her friends.
I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated childminder.
Our daughter was in the setting from 8 months to 3 years and really thrived under Jenny and Sean's care. She took part in so many well-thought out activities and themed weeks, and was always excited for her days there. They made her feel like part of the family and we couldn't recommend them enough.
Our Son was cared for by Micky for two years. He had previously attended a nursery and hadn't settled at all. As soon as we met Micky we knew we had found the right place for him.
He was very much welcomed into her family and her beautifully clean house is perfectly set up for the children in her care. We are still in touch with Micky now our son is at school and would highly recommend her. She cooks wonderful healthy meals, spends lots of time outdoors with the children and it is a fun, safe enviroment where they can learn and grow. Micky is such a kind person and my son still talks about her and her lovely family. She gave him the best start and I am so grateful we found her!
Marie is an outstanding childminder, I was rather nervous going back to work after having my daughter but Marie made the experience a whole lot easier. My daughter loved going there, doing lots of crafts, garden play, trips to the park and many other things. She also helped a lot to get her ready for starting Nursery, helping with toilet training and showing her how to be more independent by teaching her how to do everyday tasks. I really appreciate all Marie did for us and would highly recommend her.
I'm so blessed to have Naila as my son's childminder as she takes care of him like a mother. I would choose Naila as my son's childminder a 1000 times as she is excellent on her job. She is flexible with timing and her food is heaven.

I was highly recommended to Holly after needing childcare for my baby at the time 9 months old.
As soon as we met Holly I knew I wanted Blossom to be in her care. Her warm, caring nature and gorgeous home was the perfect setting for my little one to enjoy.
She’s constantly keeping me updated and communication if great throughout the day.
I always know the days about fun as well as learning and I feel so confident she’s in the best hands.
There’s always a variety of food and snacks at mealtimes and I’m always informed on what she’s had.
Holly’s house is just what I wanted for Blossom and I feel so at ease leaving her there.
Zehra is exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced. She constantly provides valuable information about child development, and her troubleshooting skills are outstanding. She is incredibly attentive, reliable, and absolutely amazing! Absolutely recommended!
Marie has been my childminder for both my daughter and son. Marie was highly recommended by so many other parents.
I'm not able to put into words how amazing Marie truly is. She's kind, caring, open, welcoming and truly loves the job she does. Marie is so creative and active with the children.
Marie has great communication, a beautiful clean home and is always willing to help.
My daughter finished with Marie last year, due to going to school but continuously asks to go back. She loved it at Marie's house.
My son is currently with Marie. He has never been with anyone else but us. He took great to Marie. She figured out what worked best with him and went from there. Marie took the time to get to know him with settling in sessions at first, and now his there full time. He settled in great. Marie sends me updates on how his been and is always great at replying to any help I need.
We'd be lost without Marie, we couldn't recommend her enough for how great she is. If your looking for a childminder, Marie is definitely the best you'll get 🤍
Our son started at little cherry tots just before his first birthday and settled in very quickly, he was always excited to see Amelia every day. His development has flourished and was always encouraged by the setting. He attended the setting for 12 months and we have never had anything to worry or complain about. Amelia and everyone at the setting are so caring and kind. I would always recommend little cherry tots to anyone in the area.
We’ve been with Grace from when she opened her business and my daughter was 8 months old and I could not recommend her enough. She has been amazing (and her assistants) the entire time and my daughter has absolutely thrived since being there. I always feel like I’m fully in the loop of what’s going on with all aspects and I’ve never had any issues. She goes above and beyond and I feel like I couldn’t have picked for someone better to look after my child and encourage her to be the best little person she could be! If I could have my daughter there for school years I would! The best 🤗
