I have a 3 year old autistic daughter, started using fizz couple of months ago, still using her. My daughter is thriving since fizz started being part of our lives. Fizz always comes with great ideas for fun play and activities for my daughter.
She understands her so well and they got along since day 1.
This girl is amazing honestly I don’t think I could have found a better babysitter than fizz for my daughter.
Going back to work when my son was just nine months old was incredibly daunting, and I was so nervous about leaving him. But from the very beginning, Caz put my mind at ease.
She genuinely cares about every child she looks after, and it really does feel as though my son has become part of her family.
He’s now been with Caz for a year and a half, and I couldn’t be happier. He always goes in with a smile on his face, which says everything! I receive lovely updates throughout the day, and I know he’s always having the best time. He sleeps brilliantly, plays endlessly, and enjoys daily walks, exploring and all sorts of little adventures.
Caz is also always there if I need advice or reassurance, which means so much as a parent.
She has made the transition back to work so much easier for me, knowing my little boy is happy, safe, loved and so well cared for.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Caz highly enough. Thank you, Caz, for everything you do! ❤️

We couldn’t be happier with Happy Kids as our children’s childminders. Both of our children absolutely adore them, and it’s clear how happy, safe and loved they feel in their care.
Our children get so excited in the mornings when it’s time to go to Markie and Jeanies, and quite often they want to stay longer when we come to pick them up! They’re always telling us how much they love them, which says everything about the wonderful bond they’ve built.
As parents, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your children are being cared for by people who make them feel so comfortable, happy and special. Mark and Jean have become such an important part of our and our children’s lives, and we’re so grateful for all the love, care and happiness they give them.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Happy Kids to any family looking for caring, trustworthy and wonderful childminders. You won’t find better around.
I cannot thank Jackie enough for the support and care she gave me son. He started with Jackie when he had only just turned 1 and Jackie instantly made making back to work that much easier, knowing my son was in a nurturing, safe and loving environment.
At the time my son could only crawl, and Jackie supported his progress with learning to walk and made sure he was always involved in all the activities the children were doing.
Her home is always clean and well organised, and all of the children are so happy, with good manners and kindness always encouraged.
Jackie’s family are really lovely and engaging with the children when they are about.
It really is a home from home feeling, exactly what I wanted for my son.
Jackie takes the children to various settings, including play group, the park, and the library.
My son is an anxious little soul who doesn’t handle separation too well, but Jackie was so caring and loving to settle him into her home. The patience she showed him we will never forget.
We couldn’t recommend Kay highly enough! Our daughter has been with Kay for over a year now, and it has been such a joy to see how much she has blossomed in her care.
From the very beginning, the transition sessions were highly personalised and thoughtfully planned around our daughter’s individual needs, helping her settle in at her own pace and feel safe, happy and comfortable.
The past year has been filled with adventures, fun and so many opportunities to learn new things. From soft play centres and parks to beach trips and splash parks, Kay makes sure every day is full of exciting experiences, exploration and discovery. We particularly love how much time the children spend outdoors, whatever the season or weather! Spending as much time outside as possible is something we feel very strongly about, and Kay absolutely shares and embraces this value.
Under Kay’s kind, caring and empathetic wing, our daughter has developed in so many ways. It’s wonderful to see her confidence grow, her curiosity flourish and her little personality shine. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone who genuinely cares so much about the children she looks after.
One of the loveliest touches was receiving a detailed report at the end of the year, reflecting on our daughter’s development in line with the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage). It was genuinely so lovely to read about all the things she has been learning, the progress she has made and the milestones she has reached, beautifully brought to life with pictures. It was such a thoughtful way to capture her journey over the year and gave us an even greater appreciation of all the care, attention and learning opportunities Kay provides.
Knowing that our daughter is receiving such high-quality, nurturing care means we can go to work feeling completely at ease, confident that she is happy, safe, loved and having the best time.
We also absolutely love the photo updates throughout the day! They are such a lovely way to see what the children have been getting up to and always leave us excited to hear about their next adventure.
Thank you so much, Kay, for everything you do and for taking such wonderful care of our daughter. We are so grateful for the positive impact you have had on her, and we couldn’t be happier with the ‘Kay’ care you provide.
We wholeheartedly recommend Kay to any family looking for a warm, attentive and adventure-filled childcare environment. We feel very lucky to be part of the journey and look forward to seeing what exciting things the next chapter brings!
We couldn't be happier with our experience so far. Our baby started in September at six months old, and the whole team made the settling-in period so gentle. The gradual adaptation schedule meant he got used to his new routine at his own pace, and his very first day went wonderfully.
What stands out most is the warmth and care from everyone. Emile is clearly happy and comfortable there, and the team always takes the time to share how his day went, from naps and meals to the little moments we'd otherwise miss.
Going back to work full time after maternity leave is a big step, and knowing our baby is in such loving, attentive hands has made all the difference. We'd recommend Talia's Teddies to any family in Clapham without hesitation. Thank you to Marta and the whole team, you're incredible!
We honestly couldn’t recommend Natalie highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly caring, compassionate and genuinely invested in our child’s happiness, development and wellbeing.
The level of care she provides is truly impeccable. She goes above and beyond every single day to make sure our little one feels safe, loved, supported and settled. It is such a comfort knowing that he is in such capable, caring hands, and we have complete confidence in the care he receives.
The days out and activities Natalie provides are amazing. She puts so much thought and effort into creating fun, engaging, educational and memorable experiences, giving the children opportunities to explore, learn and have fun in so many different ways. It is clear how much time and dedication goes into making each day special.
Natalie’s communication is also excellent, particularly on Baby days app. We always feel kept informed about how the day has gone, what our son has been doing and how they have been. Those updates mean so much and give us real reassurance.
What stands out most is that she treats the children as individuals and genuinely cares about them. Natalie creates such a warm, nurturing environment where children can thrive, and it is obvious that caring for children is something she does with her whole heart. It is clear how much her own children love and enjoy spending time with the children she cares for also.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, compassionate and goes that extra mile. She truly is amazing at what she does, and we are so grateful for everything she does for our son, thank you.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Charley. She looked after our little one from the age of 1 to almost 3, and we couldn't have asked for a more caring, nurturing environment.
Charley provided such a wonderful variety of experiences every week, from trips to parks, playgroups and soft play centres to visits to garden centres and meet-ups with other childminders and their children for crafts and play. It was lovely knowing our little one was getting out and about every day, making friends, learning new things and having so much fun.
What impressed us most was the genuine care and attention she gave each child. She was always very in tune with our child's feelings and needs and took the time to help him feel happy, confident and secure. We also loved receiving her daily updates, which gave us a real insight into all the exciting activities they had been enjoying.
Communication was excellent throughout. Charley was always approachable, responsive on WhatsApp, and kept us well informed about everything.
We are so grateful for the care she provided and only wish we could have stayed with her longer. We would not hesitate to recommend Charley to any family looking for a caring, reliable and dedicated childminder.
Giti has looked after our daughter from 7 months old until she turned 3 years. We can sincerely recommend her as a trustworthy and caring childminder. She has provided a very warm and nurturing environment for our daughter, it was like a second home for her. Giti has always cookies lovely home made food, and organised plenty of daily outings to playgroups and parks. I am very grateful to Giti Giti as she has definitely helped our daughter become happy and confident little girl she is now. We can recommend Giti to any family looking for a trusted childminder, and happy to give references upon request.
Philippa looked after our son from the age of just 10 months, and we couldn’t have wished for a more caring and supportive childminder.
She played a huge part in his early development, teaching him to count, encouraging good manners and helping him grow in confidence.
What we appreciated most was her patience and kindness. Even when our son was upset or overwhelmed, she always took the time to comfort him, talk things through and, most importantly, really listen to him.
We always knew he was in safe, loving hands. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she’s done for our son, and we miss her so much!
We couldn’t recommend Philippa highly enough!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend this childminder! She takes wonderful care of my baby in her nursery, and I feel so happy and reassured knowing my little one is in safe, caring, and loving hands. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the children’s happiness and well-being. It means so much to me to know that my baby is being looked after with so much love and attention. Thank you for all your hard work, kindness, and dedication. I truly appreciate everything you do and would definitely recommend her to other parents! ❤️

We have been sending our daughter to Natalie for over two years now, as she was recommended by my sister. With both my nieces and our daughter, Natalie has proven herself as an outstanding childminder. She is incredibly kind, caring and thoughtful. Our daughter loves spending time with Natalie at her home, and always comes back telling us what fun thing she did that, bringing along with her various creations that she's made.
She is also incredibly communicative and organised, letting us know anything and everything we need to know about what our little one has done for the day - including lovely daily photos sent securely through an app. She provides everyone with a meal timetable every week, so we know what they are going to have, and she has always tried her best to accommodate any requests we've had.
Our son will be joining his sister at Natalie's in spring, as we cannot wait for him to have all the wonderful experiences his sister has enjoyed - whether at Natalie's home or the park or one of the many other fun, child-friendly places they get to go.
I honestly couldn't give higher praise. Natalie is a wonderful person and caregiver, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone.
Nina has looked after our daughter (on very late notice - thank you!) on a number of occasions and has always been reliable and lovely to have in our home. She has a very warm and calm energy and her and B always seem to have had lots of fun.
Nina has been requested back by my daughter which I think is the best kind of review you can get! We look forward to having her back again soon.

I found Susie after deciding to pull my 2-year old out of nursery. After seeing the stress that some environments could cause, I was really worried about finding somewhere that would make my daughter flourish. As soon as I saw Susie’s set up at her home, I could see instantly the care and pride she takes in her profession. A cosy inside space, with lots of toys neatly organised, and a lovely, covered, outdoor area. It was also telling for me that while Susie and I had a chat at our first meet, my daughter came up to her to show her toys and engage with her. I think Susie has a kind and gentle energy, and since my daughter has started with her, Susie has done a variety of creative activities with them, and will often take them out and about. She clearly has a lot of experience looking after and handling children in a really positive way. I believe I have found an absolute gem in Susie, and the peace of mind I have knowing that my daughter is receiving excellent care is priceless.
My little girl was with them for 1.5 years, and they are absolutely wonderful! ❤️ They provide an amazing setting and are the most loving, caring childminders.
My daughter absolutely adores them, and we only graduated from their setting because she was ready to start school. They supported her so beautifully with potty training, independent eating and her overall development.
They also provided daily updates, which gave us so much reassurance, and were always friendly, approachable and flexible. We feel so lucky to have found them and couldn’t recommend them highly enough! ❤️
We are happy with the care Adam receives. Dilhani has been looking after our son since he was one year old, and we feel very lucky to have found such a caring and dedicated childminder.
She treats the children as if they were her own, creating a warm, safe and loving environment where they can feel happy and comfortable. Dilhani has created a wonderful nursery area full of toys and resources, and she regularly organises lots of fun and engaging activities for the children. Dilhani also documents these activities and keeps us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciate as parents.
It is lovely to see how happy Adam is when staying with her, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands. She is also very accommodating and understanding whenever we need a little extra flexibility with drop-off or collection times.
What we particularly appreciate is how openly she communicates with us about Adam's development and how willing she is to work together with us, respecting our approach to raising him. We feel that she genuinely cares about Adam's wellbeing, happiness and development.
We would highly recommend her to any parents looking for a trustworthy, caring and dedicated childminder. Thank you for everything you do for Adam! ❤️
My child has been with May since he was 10 months old and I knew of her as my nephews have been in her care for around 10 years and seeing how happy they are and how well she cared for them there was no question I wanted my child to also be cared for her on my return to work.
My child settled in quickly and is so happy to be dropped off in the morning, each day they go out and about to play groups, on trips, to the park and out and about which he loves, he comes home having been on an adventure and excited to tell me about it. May is caring and through, I trust that my child is happy and safe in her care and I am given daily updates on what he has been up to and where he has been as well as how he is developing and what learning he is doing.
I am very pleased with how he has developed and hit milestones such as speech, counting, walking and interacting with other children while with May which she has undoubtedly helped with, she really encourages fun learning and my child continues to thrive in her care which I love to see. He eats well with May who serves a balanced variety of food.
I have no hesitation to recommend May to other parents, I have found her easy to communicate with, and knowing my child is having a great time when I am at work whilst also being cared for and safe is invaluable, I will happily continue to use her services as long as I can!
