Tracey is undoubtedly the best! It has broken our hearts leaving Tracey to move away with work. If we could, we would've brought her with us. We were blessed to have found her and can't recommend enough! The set up she has is amazing, more than enough room (and freshly painted nursery) and plenty of outdoor space (with lots of new toys). The activities she does with the kids keep them busy and was always lovely to have some art they created together and the photos from play group. Always happy to help, and always able to support us and our needs, even holding a space for our second. We miss you Tracey!

My daughter has been attending Little Bundles for nine months (since she was 11 months) and she has loved every minute. She didn’t settle at her previous setting, but was fine from day one with Shazya. It is such a relief to see her wave me off in the morning and to know that she is happy and cared for with warmth and kindness.
I receive multiple updates every day with pictures of all the many activities she’s been up to. The setting is clean and spacious, with a fantastic garden that she plays in every day.
My daughter is doing really well in her development and it amazes me when she comes home with new words every day. Shazya is highly skilled at getting the best out of each child. I only wish she had been in Solihull when I was looking for childcare for my eldest! I know from experience how important it is to choose the right setting for your child, and I cannot recommend Little Bundles highly enough. They are fantastic in every way.
Shamila
Amazing tutor which I highly recommend. Very professional and knowledgeable which I am really happy with. Her lessons are very tailored to my daughter’s needs in both Maths and English, and have really helped improve her understanding, confidence, and progress in Key Stage 1. She explains concepts clearly, is very patient, and provides valuable feedback
Thank you so much!
My daughter has been in Anita’s care for just over a year now, I am so glad I found Anita she is very caring, very attentive and very understanding. My daughter has been improving her speech since being in Anita’s care. She is always coming up with new activities and although my daughter doesn’t quite engage sometimes, Anita tries to encourage in engaging. You can also tell the other children enjoy being in her care. She is a wonderful childminder.

I took my daughter over the summer school break in preparation for reception. She wasn’t your typical “fussy eater”, she would eat just 3 things! Durrey would spent an hour and 30 minutes on the dinner table making sure she picks up food again and now I love seen her face when she enjoys any meal I prepared! We meant to only take my little one during school holidays but after the 6 weeks we did a 180’ and register her daily after school and the relationship she’s built with her peers and Durrey has me in awe! If you’re in the area, there is nothing to consider! And if you’re a bit further, like I am, do make the trip, your child will thank you one day!
My two boys go to her setting and they settled in really well and are doing well, they always have fun and look forward to going, Claire is a lovely lady and trustworthy I would definitely recommend :)
We agreed on a meeting with this woman, and then she disappeared no response, no reply to messages. How can someone be a nanny and be so irresponsible, not even able to say “I can’t” or “I’ve changed my mind”? You are communicating here with parents who are relying on you, not people who want to waste time on empty conversations.

Yvonne is great. I posted a babysitting job and went with her after seeing the plethora of experience. Shes a very kind compassionate lady and professional. Having a good call to chat through expectations on both sides and routines etc, on the evening of job, being thorough with things such as if there was an emergency etc. Would highly recommend.
As a first time mum it's scary leaving your child with anyone, let alone someone you barely know - but my family and I hit the jackpot with Vicky!
My now one year old absolutely adores Vicky, is always excited when we arrive at her house and (much to my dismay) can't get away from me quick enough to go to Vicky!
My daughter has been full time with Vicky now for 3 months and she comes home super happy and always seems to have learnt something new, which i believe is a testament to how much fun and play she has with Vicky!
I can wholeheartedly say that Vicky has become part of our little family and I honestly feel so relaxed knowing my daughter is with her.
I am often updated with new pictures of my little one living her absolute best life and Vicky always keeps communication open with us about her.
Vicky thank you, from the bottom of my heart for what started out as an awful time for me and scary prospect trusting someone with my absolute world - for not only ensuring amazing care and interest in my daughter but for making this the easiest and most calming decision i have ever made!! ❤️
I had a very disappointing experience with this childminder. My child’s needs often seemed secondary to her own preferences, and feedback was not welcomed. I was asked not to bring my child at certain times because it might “disturb others,” which left me feeling uncomfortable and unsupported. My child was dismissed over a short payment delay, and I was pressured for advance payment despite explaining my financial difficulties. In my experience, there was a clear lack of compassion, empathy, and genuine care

I've needed a babysitter for my 6 kids every so often. I did my research and honestly she is the best sitter I have had. My children have send issues. She's always on time not judgemental atall. There's no physical contact concerns or shouting concerns what so ever. I will continue to keep using the service I think she is excellent at what she does. Im always weary about people looking after my children she contacted me regularly and updated when she needed too which is important. I feel my children are safe in her presence
Willaston Preschool has a special place in our hearts, our two children are flourishing here. Each and every member of staff here go above and beyond to enable the children to thrive. The wonderful ladies at preschool have such a gift of being able to recognise each child’s individual strengths, abilities, needs and being able to build on that and give children the confidence they need to grow. The difference I have seen in my eldest from starting preschool to entering his last year before school is absolutely incredible - I wholeheartedly believe that what has been sown into him at this setting is a huge part of the reason he has advanced in his learning and confidence as much as he has. Both our boys look forward to each day here and have so much fun. I am so so grateful to everyone at preschool and will certainly shed a tear when my eldest progresses to big school. This really is a special place ❤️
I was desperate for a nanny. Alison began nice, she always made sure the children were on time for school, however after a few months my children reported that she tried to push my son into her car after he had resisted to go home after school. She apologised to my son and I saying that it wasn’t a push but rather a ‘gentle nude’.A few months after she had an accident in her car with my children on board, instead of calling me straight away she proceeded to take my children to their after school club and then texted me! When I spoke to her about it she apologised again stating she was probably in shock, and didn’t think to call me straight away. Again, foolishly, I accepted her apology.
Gradually, I began to see changes in my son’s behaviour, he was becoming very confrontational with her whilst at home ( I have cctv in my home for the safety of my children),i couldn’t put my finger on it, but I knew this was out of character for him. So, I began to reduce the time she spent with them.
It all came to a head at the beginning of this week, I politely queried an invoice and Alison became very angry, sent me a barrage of texts even whilst I was at work. I asked for us to speak face to face, but due to her and my commitments the only time that could be arranged was Saturday or Monday. Among the messages Alison declared that my children were ‘bickering’ in her car that morning. I spoke to my children about it, they honestly recounted the incident. I then asked about the response of Alison, they told me that she shouted at them, when I asked how many times this had happened, they stated that it’s only about 5 times she has NOT shouted at them, to the point they no longer wanted her to be their childminder, and /she only shouted at them in her car away from my cameras and from the public/witnesses. I was shocked, hurt, angry and sad for my children. I reiterated to them, no matter what they had done, no-one is allowed to shout at them. I’m sure every parent knows the effect of shouting at a child, it causes anxiety, fear, aggression; it’s psychological abuse. I’m currently seeking counselling for my children.
I DO NOT recommend this nanny,

My son has been in Kirsty’s care for four months, and I’ve never felt more at ease leaving him. He absolutely loves going. When searching Kirsty was the only childminder who offered a home visit, which immediately made me feel confident and comfortable.
Kirsty's setting is always clean, organised, and full of engaging indoor and outdoor activities. She also takes the children out regularly to soft play, playgroups, and other places to explore, something my little boy enjoys so much.
Kirsty is fantastic with the children and is a lovely, reliable person. Her communication is excellent, and she provides regular updates throughout the day, which is hugely reassuring. I’m extremely happy with the care she provides my son and would highly recommend her.
Our childcare journey has come to an end after using Sophie and Daisies and Dinosaurs over the last 6 years. During covid era and after with young 3 girls a separate times, finding Sophie was the best thing we ever did.
We looked at nurseries, and other child minders but no one seemed to offer the perfect home from home environment as well as the early years experience that Sophie had. All of our girls attended up to the age of 3, 3 days a week and they thrived. All of them ready and excited to start the preschool attached to the school they would then attend.
Sophie has created the most caring environment in her home and now has a team who follow suit. Could not recommend them more highly. My girls love them and Sophie’s home, we will miss them and be forever grateful that they were able to support our girls with best possible start in their early years.

Rosemary came very highly recommended. She is honest, genuinely caring and is a wealth of knowledge and expertise! We struggled for months with feeding our baby who was less than 0.4th percentile and a big time bottle refuser. The stress was through the roof but Rosemary guided us through virtually and reassured me and my husband that we were on the right path. As she said, our daughter did eventually pick it up and is now a thriving bottle drinker!
Yolanda at Brown Lillies has been incredible with our little one. She creates a calm, happy environment where kids feel safe, engaged and truly cared for. Communication is always easy and honest, and it shows how much she loves what she does. Our child looks forward to every visit, and we feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such capable hands. Highly recommended.
