My son has been attending Lauren's setting now for nearly a year and she honestly felt like family very quickly! Lauren has always made sure that my son feels safe, happy and comfortable within her home š” ā¤ļø
Lauren offers a wide range of activities, toys and outdoor play for the children. She always sets up different theme tuff trays for the children to explore their imagination and creative skills! She updates me with pictures and videos at the end of each week so I can see what he's been upto, and its always something fun!
My son has loved being at her setting from day 1, he often asks for her and he's always so happy to run through the door in the mornings!
Lauren offers a beautiful, cosy home, perfect if you don't want the Nursery type setting. I am so glad we found Lauren and would recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.
A true diamond šš«¶š»!
I couldnāt be happier with Little Explorers childminder. She is such a lovely, warm and caring person, and you genuinely feel like your child is being looked after by a friend, while still receiving a very professional and reliable service.
Courtney is very easy to talk to and is always approachable, including when it comes to discussing any issues or things happening within the family home. I receive regular updates and lovely photos throughout the day, which gives me a lot of reassurance and makes me feel involved in what my child is doing.
She also was very accommodate my childcare needs and continues to be :) Most importantly, my child loves going and is always happy and excited to be there. Itās such a comfort knowing they are in such a safe, happy and nurturing environment with lots of different activities

Nicole has looked after my daughter and son for the past 5 years, and I honestly couldnāt recommend her enough.
She has always been so caring, kind and loving towards them. She has fed them, played with them, looked after them and been there for them through so many stages of their lives.
I have always felt completely comfortable leaving them with Nicole because I knew they were happy, safe and well cared for.
She has become such a special part of our lives and the children absolutely love her. We are so grateful for everything she has done for them over the last 5 years.
Thank you for being such an amazing childminder, Nicole
Our daughter has been going to Rachel since she was just 10 months old, and now just turned 4 years old she is getting ready to start school with the fantastic support and guidence Rachel has provided she is fully ready for the change. We feel so lucky that Rachel has been such a special part of her early years.
Rachel is such a kind, caring and wonderful childminder. She takes the children out and about most days, giving them so many opportunities to explore, play and have new experiences. My daughter has come home with the most amazing memories and stories, and itās lovely to see how much she has enjoyed her time there.
Rachel has also done so much to prepare her for starting school. She has helped her learn her numbers, recognise letters, write her own name and develop all the skills she needs to confidently take that next big step into school. Itās been amazing to see how much she has learnt and grown, all while having fun and enjoying herself.
One of the things Iām most grateful for is the friendships my daughter has made while being with Rachel. She has met some lovely little friends along the way, and those friendships have become such an important part of her childhood.
Rachel has created such a warm, happy and nurturing environment where my daughter has always felt safe, loved and completely herself.
Thank you Rachel for everything you have done for our daughter over the past few years. You have played such a huge part in her life. We can't wait for our second baby girl to start with you next September and for her to have the same chance to create the most amazing childhood memories.
We couldnāt recommend Rachel highly enough to any parent looking for someone who will care for their child as if they were their own. āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø
My daughter had been with Emma since she was 11 months old and remained in her care until she was 10 years old.
I could not have asked for a better childcare provider. The setting was always clean and ready for my daughter. Emma always prepared a healthy balanced menu always taking into account any special dietary requirements of my daughter - and this came my mind at rest.
Emma shows a genuine care and love for all the children. She always went above and beyond for my daughter, always communicated clearly any changes and letting me know about my daughters day. Emma is a complete professional always offer guidance and support throughout the years. My daughter always enjoyed the daily activities and the wonderful outings.
I would highly recommend Emma as a childcare provider because she has the expertise and experience.
Choosing Dana was the best decision I made for my son. From the start, she was absolutely incredible at managing his separation anxiety, making him feel safe and secure from day one. Over time, Dana became far more than just a childminder; she became a trusted family friend whose support and advice meant the world to me. She even managed to successfully potty train him while he was there. Saying goodbye is so hard because he will really miss Dana and her wonderful family. Thank you for everything!
Seba has been an absolute gem and has helped our family immensely. She supported us particularly with our babyās evening and night-time routine and sleep, and her help genuinely made such a difference to us.
She is incredibly reliable, caring and trustworthy, and she has a wonderful way with our baby, warm, patient and completely natural. We have always felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and know that he is happy and well looked after with her.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Seba and couldnāt recommend her more highly. Any family would be very lucky to have her!

Our daughter has been at this nursery for the last year and loves going. she has a great relationship with the staff and you can see this at every drop off and pick up, sheās always happy going in and is well cared for every day. She loves going to nursery and learns so much. She has developed so much and has learnt so many things. We get updates regularly on the app which is a great comfort for parents. If you are looking for a nursery for your child, I would recommend this nursery to everyone
My little girl has thrived since she started at Zig Zag! She started at 8 months and has come on leaps and bounds in the last year. I know sheās well cared for and the staff know the children as individuals and cater to individual needs. I wouldnāt send my child anywhere else! The rooms are lovely and well laid out for the children and they have so many lovely activities each day! I 100% recommended Zig Zag to anyone looking for childcare for their little ones!!
My little one moved to Esther from a different childminder and I do not think I can praise her enough. She goes that 1 extra mile that makes a massive difference. My little one loved to go to auntie Esther and had a brilliant time in there. She does a lot of fantastic activities and her welcoming care makes it a home from home enviorement. Shes loving caring and no words can described how greatful I am that I have found her. I do not think you can find any better childminder. She gives updates eveey day and you can always message her if unsure. Communication between her and parents is briliant.
Ayodele is a wonderful kind lady, she took care of my son so much that I never had to worry about anything, we tried to connect with several child minder but we couldnāt make it happen but with ayodele it happened instantly, my son loved it there and he loves her so much. She cares for the children and takes care of them. I highly recommend
It was so hard to leave our son at 1 year old, when I had to return to work. It was a relief to find Susy. I knew she would pick him up and comfort him whenever he got upset. Susy is playful and fun, and plans creative activities that helped our son's development. We also knew that our son was receiving nutrious and balanced meals; Susy homemade food was delicious and our little one loved it. Our son was looked after by Susy for nearly three years and we all cried buckets when it was time to day goodbye! Susy became like family to us.
Thanks Susy!
We met Meredith in August 2023 when our little girl was only 11 months, and now she is about to turn 4 and will be going to nursery soon. We are so glad we found Meredith.
Over the last three years we have been constantly amazed at our little girl's progress and development.
Every time she may have encountered a challenge, Meredith knew how to support her to make her flourish. She has come so far expressing her emotions, expressing herself, making friends and talking about the things she loves and simply being an amazing little person and we are very thankful to Meredith, for teaching her so much with so much patience and especially for the nurture, love and affection shown to her every day.
One of the most wonderful things our little girl got to do was visiting so many beautiful places, parks, National Trusts, farms, castles, shaping memories that canāt be erased. This was all documented with thousands of amazing pictures, showing happiness at every turn. We are absolutely and completely impressed by the number of ideas and information our little girl can retain thanks to Meredithās teachings.
We watched her learn to count, learn the alphabet and identify shapes and colours. She has great foundations for her imminent start of Nursery. She tells wonderful stories with such creativity, coherence and clarity of thought, and we know she learnt this from Meredith. The environment Meredith put her in also played a big part for her character to be shaped.
Meredith, really should be proud of herself for the excellent work she has done with our girl. We will miss her.
Our little one has been with Claire since he was 9 months old and now at 21 month's we couldn't be happier that he's with her while we are at work. Claire was very honest about the settling in period and what to expect. Her location is also a bonus, very central to all the stations. Our little one settled in very quickly and has grown so much in confidence and you can really see the independence. Claire is so caring, patient and nurturing, and itās lovely seeing the bond between them, which gives us a peace of mind. She prepares lovely food for the little ones, an amazing garden and encourages a lot of outdoor time. She's always got something planned wheather that is a day trip, local community events and different indoor activities. We feel so lucky to have found Claire and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful childminder. ā¤ļø
Iām really happy with the care and support weāve received from Yvonne. She is warm, patient and genuinely caring, and has created such a lovely environment for the children.
One of the things I really appreciate is how much variety there is in the childrenās days. They regularly go out, visit different places and take part in activities, as well as having opportunities to play and socialise with other children. I love that they get to experience new things rather than simply staying indoors.
Communication has always been easy and I feel comfortable talking to Yvonne about anything. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my child is happy, cared for and enjoying their time there.
I would happily recommend Yvonne to other parents looking for a caring and reliable childminder.
Cristina was fantastic with my two young girls (3 & 6). They aren't used to having a babysitter and one was a bit emotional as we were leaving. Cristina handled it with such kindness and warmth and distracted her with play and fun until she got over it. The girls said they had so much fun, keep asking to see Cristina again and called her 'the best babysitter ever'. Cristina was punctual both times we have used her to sit the girls, came in with a big smile and straight away was engaged with them. She was also very lovely to our old dog that followed her around the place. Fantastic Nanny/ babysitter/ childcare - will absolutely be asking her to babysit again. Thank you, Cristina!
