Both my boys have been with Paula one from 1.5 and one from 9months all the way up until reception. Both of them absolutely loved going to Paula and thrived! Paula was always good at accommodating both mine and the boys needs. My boys still ask about Paula now.
We couldn’t recommend Alison highly enough! Sofia started with her when I returned to work after maternity leave, and she made what could have been a difficult transition so much easier.
Alison is so lovely, warm and caring, and it was such a comfort knowing Sofia was happy and in safe hands while I was at work.
Sofia loved Alison’s home-cooked lunches and learnt so much during her time there, including the actions to nursery rhymes, which was so lovely to see! She also really enjoyed playing and interacting with the other children who were all a similar age, it was clear what a happy and caring environment Alison had created.
Alison really does go above and beyond, even helping us out by dropping Sofia home when I had a punctured tyre!
Thank you so much for everything, Alison. Any family would be lucky to have you looking after their little one.
Raashi’s Childcare has been such a wonderful part of our lives and an incredible support system for our 3-year-old twin girls. It has provided a true home-away-from-home environment for the girls — a warm, loving and nurturing place where they were always cared for like family.
The teachers are absolutely lovely, and the girls have enjoyed so many fun and creative activities, learned something new every month, and always looked forward to their days there. They also loved the healthy, delicious, home-cooked meals.
We have so many lovely memories of our time at Raashi’s. Even after leaving, the girls still talk about their teachers and the little friends they made there.
We will always be grateful to Raashi and her wonderful team for giving our little girls their first stepping stone in their learning journey and providing such a wonderful foundation for the years ahead.
It has been a truly lovely experience, and we will always look back on it with so much fondness. ❤️

Gully is a kind, and reliable person. I really appreciate her support and the trust she shown when it comes to looking after my son. During my shift, she would kindly drop my son off for me, which made things so much easier and more convenient as I didn't have to worry about going to pick him up. She was always thoughtful.ful and considerate, sometimes even bringing me snacks whenever she came to drop my son off, which i truly appreciated.
Gully has always been helpful, understanding, and thoughtful, and i am grateful for all the support she has given me. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, and supportive with childcare

I cannot recommend Agnes highly enough. She has been looking after my daughter for the past two years, and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder.
Agnes is an absolutely wonderful, caring and dedicated person who genuinely loves what she does. From the very beginning, she has made my daughter feel safe, happy and loved. I have always had complete peace of mind knowing that my daughter is in such good hands.
What makes Agnes so special is the care and attention she gives to every child. She provides a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment, with lots of fun activities, learning opportunities and lovely outings. She is always finding ways to support children’s development, encourage their independence and help them discover new things.
Her communication with parents is excellent. She keeps me informed, shares updates and always makes me feel involved in my daughter’s day.
Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loves spending time with Agnes. It is clear how much she enjoys being there, which says everything about the wonderful atmosphere Agnes creates.
Agnes goes above and beyond what you would expect from a childminder. She is professional, trustworthy, patient, compassionate and genuinely dedicated to the children in her care.
I feel incredibly lucky that my daughter has had Agnes in her life for the past two years. I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for exceptional childcare. Any family would be very fortunate to have her looking after their child.
We honestly cannot thank Karen enough for everything she has done for our son since he started with her at just 11 months old.
From the very beginning, Karen has been so nurturing, caring and understanding. She has played such a huge part in our son’s early years, helping him grow into the little character he is today. We genuinely believe she has helped shape the person he is, and we will always be grateful for the love, encouragement and support she has given him. One thing that has always stood out is just how well Karen knows the children in her care. Her handovers are incredibly detailed, and she always provides frequent photos and updates throughout the day. You never feel out of the loop and can see just how much attention she gives to each child as an individual. It's clear that she doesn't just look after children; she really gets to know them, understands their little personalities and genuinely cares about their development.For me personally, Karen has also become so much more than just a childminder. Over the years, she has become a good friend and someone I could turn to for advice, reassurance and support. She has given me advice that I will carry with me for years to come, and that means more than she probably realises. Leaving to start preschool was a big milestone, but we will always look back on our time with Karen with so much fondness. Jax has been incredibly lucky to have had her in his life, and so have we. Thank you, Karen, for everything, you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

My little girl has only been with Clare since September 2026 but she has settled so quickly with her. It literally is a home from home setting and my daughter absolutely loves it. Clare really takes the time to get to know every child individually and supports both their development and learning across all areas. She updates resources to inspire new interests and ensure the children are always busy whilst having fun! Clare takes the children out to groups and on lovely adventures so they are sociable with others and engaging in a range of activities. Clare ensures parents are always updated and all information is shared through daily photos and a written diary about their day. I honestly couldn’t recommend Clare enough…we need more childminders like Clare!!
Esther was great for the 2-hour watch. Punctual to collect my daughter from after school club, followed all instructions (heating up the food I left, feeding the cat etc) and everything went smoothly. I cannot review the setting/cleanliness/food as Esther came to my home. Everything was intact upon my return.
Great baby sitting service I will use again
We could not be more grateful to have found Harpreet and her team. Our twins are absolutely thriving in her care, and it has been wonderful to see how much they have learnt and developed since joining her setting.
Harpreet is incredibly warm, positive and approachable. She has a lovely way with the children and is always calm, understanding and patient with them. Whenever we have any concerns or apprehensions about the children as individuals, she is always reassuring and takes the time to work with them to support their individual needs and development. We really value how proactive, attentive and supportive she is, and the confidence this gives us as parents.
We feel the setting strikes a good balance between learning, play and physical development, all within a nurturing and stimulating environment. Most importantly, the children genuinely love going there and look forward to it every week.
We feel very fortunate that our twins are in such caring hands, and would wholeheartedly recommend Harpreet and her team.
Amran is an absolutely amazing teacher. She is highly dedicated to her work and has a wonderful ability to build positive, trusting relationships with her students.
Her wealth of experience enables her to provide valuable guidance and advice to parents, while tailoring her lessons to suit each child's individual abilities and needs. She is attentive, encouraging and genuinely committed to helping every child progress.
I would highly recommend Amran to anyone looking for a dedicated, experienced and caring teacher.
My husband and I were so impressed when we visited. The whole place felt lovely and welcoming, and we both came away saying how much we liked it. The garden was a real highlight for us, with so many opportunities for the children to play, explore and have fun.
She was really friendly and easy to talk to, and we felt comfortable asking questions. It was lovely to see how everything had been set up with the children in mind. We left feeling really positive and could easily imagine our little one being happy there. Would definitely recommend arranging a visit!
Jojo was fantastic. We had her for the first 8 weeks to support overnight and before long our little girl was sleeping up to 7hrs without waking. Jojo’s guidance, support and maternal nature made those early days so much easier and helped us get into good sleep habits early - particularly remember the first night when I had a complete meltdown and she just gave me a huge hug! Only stopped because she was already booked with another family but would recommend in a heartbeat.
Fouzia has been looking after our daughter since she was not even one year old, right up until she was three and a half, and I honestly couldn't have wished for a better person to care for her during such important early years. From the very beginning, Fouzia made us feel completely at ease, and over the years she has become so much more than a childminder to us.
She has always treated our daughter as if she were one of her own, with so much love, patience and genuine care. Her home is absolutely wonderful and thoughtfully set up for children, with a dedicated playroom full of an incredible range of toys, books, learning resources and activities. It is clear how much thought, effort and passion she puts into creating an environment where children can learn, develop and have fun.
What really sets Fouzia apart is her dedication to the children's learning and development. She plans lessons and activities every week, carries out learning assessments and provides regular feedback on each child's progress, including areas they can continue to work on. She is always thinking of new and exciting places to take the children and different experiences to give them. You can really see that childcare is something she puts her heart into, rather than simply a job.
Communication has always been excellent. She keeps us updated, shares feedback about our daughter's day and makes sure we are aware of her achievements, progress and anything we can support her with at home. She has also always taken such lovely care of her, making sure she is clean, comfortable, happy and well looked after.
One of the loveliest things to come from our time with Fouzia is the special bond she has created between the children and their families. Even after moving on, we have continued to meet up with other mums and children who attended her setting. The friendships and connections that have continued beyond childcare really show just how special the environment she creates is.
Leaving your child in someone else's care is never an easy decision, but Fouzia made that decision one of the best we ever made. Our daughter has grown, learned and reached so many milestones under her care, and we will always be grateful for the part Fouzia has played in her early years.
I would recommend Fouzia without hesitation to any parent looking for a loving, nurturing and educational environment for their child. She really is one of a kind, and any family lucky enough to have her care for their little one will understand just how special she is. Thank you for everything, Fouzia. We will always be grateful!

I was so happy with the care my first child received that when I had my second baby, I didn't think twice about choosing the same provider again. It's lovely knowing my children are in safe, caring and loving hands. I would happily recommend them to other parents.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Monkey Nuts highly enough! A real home from home, where children are welcomed into such a warm, loving and nurturing environment.
It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing your child is not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely happy, settled and treated like part of the family.
The care, kindness and attention given to each child is second to none, with a lovely balance of fun, learning and encouragement. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and the communication and reassurance for parents is fantastic.
A truly special setting, and one I would wholeheartedly recommend to any parent looking for somewhere their little one will be loved, supported and thrive.
Isla started working with our family 2 years ago looking after our 10 month old twin boys. To say that she has become an integral part of our family would be an understatement.
Isla is responsible, organised, proactive, diligent and hugely supportive. But above that, she is kind, caring and patient to our boys. They absolutely adore her, and frequently name her in their top favourite people that they love.
When she's in our home, she does whatever the boys need, while keeping firm boundaries we've agreed on. Always calm and always consistent. She's communicative, adaptable and always goes the extra mile to leave our home and our boys calm. She'd take them out on activities, and spend time reading and playing with them.
She brought such help, support and warmth into our family at a time when we were adjusting to a new town, and really needing childcare. She's been there consistently on days when we've had her booked in, and helped out ad hoc when we've needed extra hands.
Having Isla in our lives, and looking after our boys has given us so much more than just childcare when we needed it. Although our boys are now at nursery full time, we continue to bring Isla into our lives, because we (and they), just can't imagine life without her.
I cannot recommend Isla enough if you are looking for childcare.
We first met Vanesa as nanny for a week a few years ago before our full time nanny was able to start helping us looking after our 6 months old to bridge the gap and Vanesa was amazing. She is good at communications with us throughout and would offer to help with other house work when our baby was taking naps.
A few years on now, we recently had our second child and needed help here and there. Vanesa was the first person we thought of and contacted for help. Once again, she helped us with exactly what we needed. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any families.
We couldn’t recommend Lisa highly enough. She looked after our children for a weekend as our proxy parent nanny, giving my wife and me the opportunity to enjoy our first weekend away together in many, many years.
Having someone you trust completely to look after your children is priceless, and Lisa gave us exactly that peace of mind. The kids were in fantastic hands, were clearly well cared for, and we were able to properly relax knowing they were safe, happy and looked after. All 4 kids happily waved us off and that made us feel relaxed from the get-go.
Lisa originally came highly recommended by friends of ours, and we can absolutely see why. She was brilliant from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.
In fact, we’re already hoping to book Lisa again soon for our next little getaway. Thank you, Lisa, for giving us the chance to recharge and enjoy some much-needed time together as a couple!

I highly recommend Claire, who has cared for my daughter since she was 10 months old. Throughout this time, she's provided a safe, nurturing and stimulating home from home environment with plenty of outdoor activities both at home and locally as well as further afield.
From the very beginning, Claire has shown genuine care, patience and demonstrable experience. My daughter has formed a wonderful bond with her and looks forward to attending. I have seen significant growth in my child's confidence, social skills and independence during her time in Claire's care.
I have complete confidence that my daughter is happy, well cared for, and encouraged to learn and develop. I would not hesitate to recommend Claire to any family looking for a caring, reliable, honest and dedicated childminder.
