I honestly couldn’t recommend Angela and Cam highly enough. They have looked after both of my children, my eldest who is now 4 and my youngest since he was just 11 months old, and they have become so much more than childminders to us, they feel like part of our family.
From the very beginning, Angela and Cam have shown my children genuine love, care and kindness, treating them as if they were their own. Knowing my children are safe, happy and so well cared for gives me complete peace of mind every
They provide delicious, fresh home-cooked meals, and every day is filled with fun, learning and adventure. Angela and Cam put so much thought into supporting each child’s development through creative activities, play and new experiences that help them grow in confidence and reach important milestones. They enjoy regular days out, have built wonderful friendships with the other children, and come home full of excitement, eager to tell me all about their day.
One of the things I appreciate most is receiving regular photo updates throughout the day. Seeing their smiles and everything they’re getting up to is so reassuring and always brightens my day. They also make birthdays incredibly special, celebrating with thoughtful little parties that create such lovely memories.
The love, dedication and care Angela and Cam show every child is truly exceptional. They have created such a warm, nurturing environment where children can thrive, and I couldn’t ask for more. I honestly can’t imagine leaving my children with anyone else, and I feel incredibly lucky that they have been such an important part of our children’s lives. Thank you both for everything you do, we are so grateful for you.
Jess is absolutely incredible in every single way. She has been so much more than a nanny to our boys but become part of the family. We all adore her and she has shown the boys so much love, care and attention. She has an incredible bond with the eldest who is 3.5 years and he is always so happy to see her. She has also formed a great bond with the 16 month old twins. She has gone above and beyond for our family and I am gutted we can’t keep her on!

My daughter is beyond happy at Elaine’s. She is kind, caring and wonderful and I trust her with my daughter fully. My daughter does lots of amazing things at Elaine’s and learns so much. We moved further away but no part of me wanted to change childminder so I will drive any distance for my daughter to stay this happy somewhere. I cannot recommend Elaine enough! My daughter was 10 months when she started and I was very nervous about being back at work but after day 1 the nerves left and she has the best time. I get lovely pictures of my daughter throughout the day and she has a constant smile on her face. Elaine is just wonderful.

Maloryn has cared for our daughter from when she was just 9 months and it was clear from our initial meeting that she has a genuine passion for childcare. Since then they have developed a loving bond and she looks forward to the days when they can spend time together. We have always found Maloryn to be very kind and caring, well prepared and professional with communication. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her skills.
Both of my children have been with Annie since they were one year old, and my eldest is now just about to start school. I’ve recommended Annie to everyone I know, and several of my friends and family now use her too.
She provides a true home-from-home environment, and my children see Annie and her family as part of our extended family. They enjoy so many amazing day trips and enriching experiences, and I always know they are happy, safe, and well cared for.
Annie is warm, kind, and caring—everything you could hope for in a childminder. Her staff are fantastic too, and it’s clear they’re happy working there, as there’s very little staff turnover. The consistency has been so valuable for my children, allowing them to build strong, trusting relationships with the whole team.
I couldn’t recommend Annie and her team more highly.
Our daughter started at Emma's after a difficult few months with another childminder where she really struggled to settle in, so we were apprehensive about starting over again, but Emma and Charlett were wonderful. Everything they do is done with such kindness and care, it is such a gentle and nurturing environment. The playroom and facilities they have are fantastic, and they do great activities and days out with the children. Our little one loves the days she spends at Barnie tots, can't recommend highly enough!
Amanda has been a reliable, fun and organised nanny to two young boys (aged 3 and 1). She has been the sole carer for them; taking them to age appropriate and fun activities, preparing healthy meals, ensuring their safety, teaching them new skills. Her key strengths are being reliable and attentive. She has spent a lot of time reading and singing with both the boys, and playing creative games. We will be sad to no longer have her as our nanny and are simply no longer in need of a nanny. I highly recommend her, particularly for someone looking for a dedicated and organised nanny who has a warm personality that has made my two boys feel very secure.
We have been lucky enough to have Maloryn as part of our family's life for the past two years, and we honestly couldn't be more grateful. When we first moved to Kendal, we didn't have much of a support system, and finding trustworthy childcare felt overwhelming. Like many parents, we were anxious about leaving our son with someone else. Looking back now, choosing Maloryn was one of the best decisions we could have made.
From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and supported. She didn't just take wonderful care of our son, she also helped us adjust to our new life in Kendal. She shared helpful contacts, recommended places to go, gave us advice whenever we needed it, and was always willing to help in ways that went far beyond what we ever expected.
Our son absolutely adores her. Every time he knows he's going to see Maloryn, he gets excited. She has spoken to him in Spanish since he was little, and it's amazing to see how much he has learned because of her. More importantly, she has built such a beautiful bond with him that today he sees her as family, like an auntie he loves very much.
What we appreciate most is the genuine love and care she gives him. She is patient, kind, attentive, and always puts his well-being first. As parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your child is with someone who truly cares about them. Over these past two years, communication has always been easy, honest, and respectful. We have always trusted her completely, and that trust has only grown with time.
We recommend Maloryn wholeheartedly and without the slightest hesitation. She has been so much more than a caregiver to us,she has become an important part of our family's journey, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. We truly hope she will continue to be part of our son's life as he grows up.

I have used Millie several times for babysitting both of my kids ages from age 0-4 and I can’t think of anyone better to leave my high support needs/ autistic/ nonverbal child with, Millie is extremely knowledgeable, patient and communicates very efficiently. Whenever my children leave they have always learned something new! Millie is absolutely fantastic highly recommend!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our childminder, Iren.
We truly appreciate the high level of professionalism, dedication, and care that Iren shows every day.
We are especially grateful for the fun and engaging days that Iren creates through a wonderful variety of activities, creative play, outdoor walks, and new experiences that encourage our child’s learning and development.
Thank you, Iren, for your kindness, warmth, patience, and genuine love for what you do. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and love you put into your work every day.
Maloryn let us down refusing to look after my children when they were teething and had a raised temperature, yet still demanded to be paid and threatened us with legal action. After she let us down, we gave her her notice. Whilst she was working her notice, she threatened saying she could not provide the same care for my children now that our relationship had diminished. This made it very difficult to trust that she would look out for them and made me not want to have her work, but her contract demanded a month's notice.
On one occasion, Maloryn mocked the appearance of one of the children she is nannying for, commenting rather maliciously about the size of her forehead showing me pictures of other babies she is looking after.
Felicity is an extremely loving, caring and consistent carer. Our daughter has created a very special bond whilst in her care and days are filled with outings, activities (arts, stories, outside play) and new experiences. If our circumstances were different (we are moving to another area in the UK) I would have no hesitations in continuing with Felicity. We really couldn’t have asked for a better home from home environment for our little girl, who has been with Felicity since turning 1 year. The love and affection Felicity shows to all children in her care, is truly special and we will miss her immensely when we move.
I couldn't be happier with the care my little boy receives. He started with her when he was just 4 months old, so naturally I was quite anxious about leaving him so young. She made the whole transition so much easier with her kindness, professionalism, and reassurance.
She has been incredibly flexible with my unusual work schedule, which has been such a huge help. Every day he comes home smiling, happy, and clearly well looked after, which gives me complete peace of mind.
One of the things I appreciate most is the regular photos, videos, and updates throughout the day. It's so reassuring to see what he's been up to, what he's eaten, and how he's getting on. It really helps you feel connected, even when you're apart.
She is warm, caring, reliable, and genuinely invested in the children she looks after. I feel very lucky to have found her, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and nurturing childminder.

I cannot recommend Bright Beginnings Childminding highly enough. I’ve used Kaelee’s services on many occasions, and every single experience has been exceptional.
She is warm, caring, reliable, and incredibly professional. The children are always happy, safe, and engaged in fun, educational activities, and it’s obvious how much love and dedication she puts into what she does. She takes the time to understand each child’s individual needs, making every child feel valued and included.
Communication is excellent, she’s organised and dependable, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Knowing my children are in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about helping children grow, learn, and thrive, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bright Beginnings Childminding. Your little ones couldn’t be in better hands.
We couldn't be happier with the care our two girls receive at Oak Glen with Katie and her amazing team. It's so reassuring to know they are both in such a loving, nurturing environment where they are genuinely happy, thriving and so well cared for.
Our youngest absolutely loves being in the Oak Glen house with all her little friends and her cousin too! She has grown so much in confidence, her speech has come on leaps and bounds and she even signs "please" and "thank you." Every morning she walks into the house without even looking back for me, which says it all. She comes home full of smiles and I love receiving updates throughout the day about all the fun they're having, what they're playing with and everything they're learning.
Our eldest is in the 2–4-year house, which she also absolutely loves. She has made some lovely friendships and has built such strong relationships with both the staff and the other children. She learns so much that she surprises me every single day and her confidence has grown massively since joining Oak Glen.
We are so grateful to have found such amazing childminders. Katie and the whole team go above and beyond and we couldn't recommend them highly enough to any family looking for a warm, caring, supportive environment where their children can learn, grow and have lots of fun. Thank you for everything! ❤️
Our 8-year-old boy joined the After School Club this year, having been in a more commercial setting previously that closed down. He was immediately welcomed by the whole family and the other children, and was comforted by the calm, wholesome, and active environment that’s complemented by the animals kept at home.
Naynah has taken the time to invest in his development, encouraging him to try new foods and taking the time to understand his interests — indulging his enthusiasm for football (despite not being a footballing family) and even taking the time to come to his gala on the local moor to support him.
He’s also developed friendships with Naynah’s children that I hope will last a lifetime, and we cannot thank the family enough for the support and love they’ve shown our boy this year.
Our little boy Finley started with Shelley and Mike a few weeks ago. With my partner being in the army, and myself working full time- life can be very hectic. We had several let downs with a previous childminder which lead to me having several days off work.
Since Finley has been at Shelley’s, he’s had the best time, made some super new friends. They go over and above ensuring the children have fresh fruit and snacks throughout the day, as well as having a swimming pool and paddling pool set up for hot days in the garden for kids to enjoy.
Unfortunately when my partner is away, I have to drop our son off and collect him before and after work; which occasionally can mean I’m 10-20 minutes late collecting him due to traffic. There is never any problem or hassle here and they happily look after him until I can get there- which takes a lot of pressure off for us. Super grateful to have found such good childcare.. thank you guys

We’ve had Carlie for a good few months now, and I can honestly say she’s become like family to us. She is incredibly trustworthy, kind, patient, and so friendly. From day one, she’s treated our little one with genuine care and love, which has given us complete peace of mind.
She’s always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to help. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble for her, and her calm, caring nature makes such a difference. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys what she does.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and wonderful nanny. She has been absolutely perfect for our family.

Our daughter has been with Tess for a little while now and we’re so happy she is settled and enjoying her time in her setting. We tried a nursery to start and our daughter had a really rough time there and just wouldn’t settle at all, but only after a week with Tess, she was calmer and doing better after drop offs. Now she waves me off at the door!
We receive consistent updates which is really nice to have and appreciated.
Tess is calm, caring and always puts the children first, with activities, care, and nutritious meals/snacks.
She’s very accommodating which has been even more helpful with me returning to work. Her home is clean and always set up for the children when we arrive
Our daughter loves Tess and being in her care, and has really developed her social, verbal skills and is definitely learning more everyday.
Would definitely recommend!
