My daughter has stayed overnight at Montessori Genius several times, and the experience has always been fantastic. She feels safe, happy, and comfortable, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she is being cared for by such kind and professional people. The setting is nurturing, communication is excellent, and my daughter always comes home smiling. I highly recommend Montessori Genius for overnight childcare.
DO NOT USE! I in good faith gave him my sons medical documents to review to ensure he could meet his needs. He has failed to return them, he first made excuses, then has completely gone silent! Ignoring my calls and messages! He failed to show any safeguarding documents or qualifications despite promising to do so. He made excuses as I wanted to see his setting. He became funny about drawing up a contract, and when i asked to see his references and brothers dbs who apparently works with him. He says he has worked at various nurseries and childcare settings but will not give their names. Another childminder approached me when I make enquiries on a childcare group advising he has had a habit of doing this and has no up to date documents and is not Ofsted registered. He has been reported twice to the local council, I have had to contact the safeguarding team at the council and have had to contact the police as they will be investigating as this man poses a threat to children. If I could give zero stars I would!

My daughter has been going to Lisa for nearly 2 years now.
She started when she was 10 months old.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter has received. Lisa has been absolutely amazing since day one. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely caring in everything she does. She has created such a safe, welcoming, and fun environment that our daughter has truly thrived in.
It’s clear how much thought and effort goes into each day, from engaging activities to supporting our daughter’s development and confidence. Communication has always been excellent, and we’ve felt completely at ease knowing she is in such capable hands.
We feel very lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and nurturing, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.
Shamima has been a fantastic childminder for my son. She understands his special needs very well and provides excellent care and support. My son has settled in wonderfully, gets along well with her children and the other children in her care, and is always happy to attend. I would highly recommend her.
We have used Claire before but not anymore due to the schedule. Just seen Claire appeared on the search so thought I could drop her a review 😉
Its the best childcare that we ever had and we have been struggling without her. Hope that she would do this job longer so we might be able to use her service in the future 🙏 Thanks Claire

Firstly, she made up all the skills and qualifications that she’s got and might have used AI to write it and make it like she’s got 20 years experience or so to charge parents so much. PLEASE PARENTS, look carefully and do more research on other providers. I did find mine going down the list even though they don’t have “fake” reviews, they really know what they’re doing.
You will notice she will use AI again to answer all your queries. Is it that hard to write herself?
Secondly, she used her phone a lot when she’s on her childcare shift. She’s constantly on the phone thats what my baby confessed to me. I only found out as she forgot to do some of my tasks for me due to the babysitter on the phone and LEFT HER ALONE!
She doesn’t do anything to help with the kid either help her study, read or do any activities. She left her with it and BE ON HER PHONE. She even brought her laptop to our house!!! What’s on earth?!?!? Well, she did ask for my wifi password as one of very first questions. I should have realised the red flag.
She’s also very dirty and messy as well. She never takes her shoes off when going to people’s house. Is that normal?
I wrote on here to warn other parents and hopefully nobody would fall into my position.
I know she would reply that she never have any interaction or provide any childcare service to me but she does know what she has done and who I am. She just hopes nobody will mind that.
Stay clear people!!

We have used Lindsey for around 4 years in the East Ayrshire Area for babysitting, including 3 nights overnight at our wedding. Amazing with ours and other family children who were staying with us, took children out and about to local attractions.
Also has spent time weekly with My ASN 4 year old, over a year working on Communication, language, helping us with visuals. It has made such a difference before going to school. Could not say enough good things, punctual, good communication and very flexible.
I had a great experience with Bridie. She was very attentive and caught on to our child’s needs immediately. She managed dinner and the bedtime routine perfectly, ensuring my 21-month-old was safe and settled. I’ll definitely be using her services again and would recommend her to others

Caterina is the most important member of the family . She had been with us for 7 years, of which 6 full time and 1 part-time now that the kids go to school. She has been a responsible and reliable and very loving nanny, almost a grandmother to our children. She is the best investment we have done for our kids , cooks well and has 4 grown up kids of her own ( of which 2 twins ) so she knows all kind of drills

Our son has been with Carol and Billy for nearly three years now, and we honestly cannot recommend them enough. From day one, their home has felt like a second home to him – warm, welcoming, and full of love and care.
What really sets Carol and Billy apart is how thoughtfully they plan activities and outings. They don’t just supervise the children; they actively engage with them, taking them out to different places and making every day fun and interesting. We’ve visited many childcare settings over the years, but the level of genuine love, patience, and understanding that Carol and Billy show towards the children is truly special.
Our son is always happy to go there, and as parents, we find that peace of mind priceless. Every morning when I drop our son off, I feel complete peace of mind – it’s just like leaving him with family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them. If you’re looking for childminders who will treat your child like family, look no further.

Vivian has been with my kids and family since March this year, she's my 1st babysitter and yet on the very first day my baby warmed up to her and she's cared immensely for both my kids since. She's trustworthy, dependable and absolutely disciplined and teaches my kids the same qualities. My baby's is reaching her growth milestones so quickly and smoothly with her. Her respectful management of all activities and tasks around our schedule is really remarkable and she's extremely supportive.
I'm really thankful that we have her.
Thank you so much Vivian!
Bianca cared for our daughter from the age of 8 to 14 months and was fantastic throughout.
She was brilliant at keeping her engaged with a wide range of activities, including arts and crafts, messy play and taking her to stay&play and parks around our area. Bianca was also very helpful with naps and routines.
Personality-wise, Bianca is kind, patient, calm and was very good at communicating with us. She is also very experienced. As first-time parents, we particularly appreciated that she was always happy to share advice when asked, and was reliable - we were very worried about going back to full-time work, but Bianca made that process so much easier for us.
We would highly recommend her to any family, especially new parents looking for a caring, knowledgeable and dependable nanny.
My little boy has been going to Lucy for a year now and he absolutely loves it! Going back to work when he was 9 months old was difficult but Lucy made me feel like her home was a home from home and sent me pictures everyday and gave him cuddles all day. I couldn’t have gone back to work without Lucy. Her care is turning my little one into the most amazing child. Thank you xxx
Sarah was taking care of my 7 months baby for 3 days when I attended a summer school in Musselburgh. She was very reliable, skillful, honest, and respectful. She has a lot experience with babies and young children. She is also very adaptive and full of ideas to calm my baby when she kept crying. I am so grateful that my baby was being cared by such a lovely girl :) thank you so much Sarah. Highly recommended. I wish you a successful study and career ahead!! (note: for the food review, I prepared food by myself, but Sarah fed my baby well and tried several ways til my baby ate the provided food. She has experience making solid food for children too :)).

We were introduced to Aarthi through a friend's recommendation, and from our very first visit, we felt confident in choosing her setting. Her home is bright, welcoming, and provides excellent indoor and outdoor spaces for children to learn and play.
Aarthi is professional, caring, and genuinely treats every child as her own. She provides a structured routine, encourages independence at each child's pace, and ensures children receive a healthy, balanced diet.
Our daughter, Riya, joined Aarthi's setting at the age of two. She was initially quite shy, but within days she had settled in and was excited to attend. Under Aarthi's care, Riya developed confidence, independence, and many essential skills that prepared her well for starting school. Aarthi does an excellent job of supporting children's development and helping them meet Early Years milestones.
We are incredibly grateful for the care and support Aarthi has provided to our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and trustworthy childminder.
