The reason for the review title is we often compare Donna to Mary Poppins! Donna is genuinely like part of the family and we don't know where we'd be without her. Donna look after our middle child, who we gave up on the idea of nursery after a very traumatic attempt at settling in, who took to Donna a dream! from 1 year 1 month until she was 4 and out little girl not only adored Donna but thrived in her care. We then did not hesitate to secure a place when we found out baby number 3 was on route, who has been going to Donna for about 6 months now and despite being a very attached BF baby, she has no issues going to Donna and seems to also be coming on a dream. If you're looking for some who will be kind and patient and love your child as if it's her own, look no further, honestly cannot praise Donna enough

Aida is as a wonderful, professional overnight nanny for our eight week old. Aida is extremely punctual, friendly and went the extra mile to accommodate our changing needs! She also worked hard to cure our daughter’s nappy rash within seven days. Aida was also incredibly discreet - you wouldn’t know she was in our home.
We really appreciate all of Aidas support and would love her to look after our daughter in the future.
if you are considering an overnight nanny, don’t hesitate to snap Aida up.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for our twins. She has cared for them since before they were 1 year old, and over the past 3.5 years she has become such an important part of their lives.
From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where both children have thrived. Although they are twins, they have very different personalities, and one of the things we have appreciated most is how she has always taken the time to understand and support them as individuals. She has encouraged their unique interests, strengths, and characters, helping each of them grow in confidence and develop in their own way.
They have loved spending time outdoors, exploring, playing, and learning about the world around them. They have also thoroughly enjoyed the many creative activities she provides, especially painting and arts and crafts, which have allowed their imaginations and confidence to flourish. Every day has been filled with fun, learning, and new experiences.
As they prepare to start school, we can clearly see the positive impact she has had on their development. She has helped them become confident, independent, kind, and curious children who are excited and ready for this next chapter. The foundations she has given them during these important early years are invaluable.
As parents, we have always had complete trust in her care. Knowing our children were happy, safe, and loved gave us enormous peace of mind. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine dedication to the children she looks after are exceptional.
We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for our twins and for us as a family over the last 3.5 years. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and support she has given our children. We would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for outstanding childcare.
Adiyo has been a fantastic tutor. She’s dedicated and responsible, always well organised, and clearly on a mission to give me the skills I need to tackle science topics on my own. She explains everything thoroughly, taking the time to make sure I actually understand rather than just rushing through. On top of that she’s genuinely patient, which makes a real difference when a topic doesn’t click straight away. I’d happily recommend her.
I highly recommend Tanya as a childminder. She has been looking after my eldest daughter, who has just turned 9, for the past 2 years, and my 4-year-old daughter for the last year.
My daughters absolutely love going to Tanya’s and are always asking when they will be seeing her again. Tanya provides a wide variety of healthy, home-cooked meals. My eldest daughter loves Tanya’s food, and even my younger daughter, who is usually a very picky eater, always eats well when she is with Tanya.
Tanya is incredibly nurturing, caring, and supportive. She always does her best to help our family, whether it’s providing care on INSET days or accommodating us when she has space available.
She keeps the children active and engaged by taking them to playgroups, parks, and other activities, helping them learn, socialise, and have fun.
I honestly don’t know what I would do without Tanya’s help and support. She has made such a positive difference to our family, and we are incredibly lucky to have her. Knowing my daughters are happy, safe, and well cared for gives me complete peace of mind.
There are truly not enough words to describe how wonderful Tanya is. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing childminder, and I would recommend Tanya to any family without hesitation.
Thank you, Tanya, for everything you do for our girls.
My son has been attending Mrs Sarah’s setting since the beginning of May, and we have been very happy with the care she provides. He has settled in extremely well, which is a testament to the warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment she creates.
Mrs Sarah communicates exceptionally well and keeps me updated about my son’s day, activities, and development. Her reassurance and regular communication have made the transition into childcare much easier for both of us and puts my mind at ease.
It is clear that she genuinely cares about the children in her care and works hard to ensure they feel safe, happy, and engaged. My son enjoys attending and has grown in confidence since starting with her. I would highly recommend Mrs Sarah to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and professional childminder.

My son started a few months ago, and has enjoyed going to Shamima. She always communicates well, is kind and happy.
My son is autistic, and struggles with change, she was understanding and made the transition easy.
I was so nervous exploring childminders/babysitters to look after my 3 year old boy.
Archie was also worried but at our first meeting with Ailsa she put me and archie at ease with her bubbly confident manner. Archie warmed to her immediately and I was reassured that he would be safe and well cared for. Had regular updates on the activities and how he was during the day.
Archie now loves her and is happy to be minded - a tremendous relief for me.
I would recommend Ailsa without reservation. Thank you Ailsa!
My son has been with Lucy since October when he was 11 months old. I knew as soon as I visited Lucy’s home that he was going to love it. Lucy has a lovely setting for the children, makes them home cooked meals. He has come on so much. I’m so glad that we found Lucy :)
Naila is an excellent and professional childminder. It’s been over a year my daughter has been attending with her and Naila has contributed immensely to the development of my little one, including communication and potty training. She is intentional about the children’s all round development which is commendable. Her home is well organised and safe for the children and updates through the app all day the activities of the children.The fact that my little one is always looking forward to attending, gives me peace while away. She’s highly recommended..:):)
Our twins have been in Lucy’s care for nearly a year and we feel extremely lucky to have found a team who have created an environment that’s safe, fun and a home away from home. The activities are endless with regular trips to the park, a phonics teacher who attends the site weekly, singing, story time and lots of arts and crafts. The twins are always so excited to tell us about their day. Our oldest daughter occasionally attends too and she is always so excited to join her siblings. Thank you for everything, you won’t regret your children being in Lucy’s care and her wonderful team!
Medina cared for all three of my boys, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She provided a safe, loving, and supportive environment where each of them felt valued, happy, and secure. Despite their different ages, personalities, and needs, Medina took the time to understand each child individually and helped them grow in confidence and independence.
My boys always looked forward to spending time with her and would come home talking about the activities, learning experiences, and fun they had throughout the day. It was clear that Medina genuinely cared about their wellbeing and development, treating them with patience, kindness, and respect.
As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing my children were in such capable and caring hands. Her communication was excellent, and she always kept me informed about how the boys were doing. Medina has had a very positive influence on my children’s lives, and I will always be grateful for the care and support she provided to our family.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Medina to any parent looking for a trustworthy, professional, and outstanding childminder.

Michelle is a warm and friendly childminder which is why we chose her for our 14 month old. I feel I should warn others that unfortunately one of her cats was not friendly, and we ended up in a&e after a scratch extremely close to our daughter’s eye- so regretfully had to pull her out promptly following discussion with our GP. I would recommend Michelle for an older child who needs less observation, as she is kind and caring with the children she cares for.
I am pleased to provide feedback on the care and support that Jessica Draper provides for our son, Zayn.
Jessica is an incredibly supportive and attentive childminder who clearly prioritises children’s development. She takes a thoughtful and individualised approach to Zayn’s learning, showing a strong understanding of where he is in his developmental journey and how best to support his progress. We feel this is greatly enhanced by her own experience as a parent of three children, which is reflected in her confidence, patience, and natural ability to nurture and guide young children.
The activities and resources she provides are of a very high standard. Her educational toys and planned activities are engaging, age-appropriate, and clearly designed to encourage learning through play. We have seen a positive impact on Zayn’s development since being in her care.
Jessica also places great importance on outdoor learning. She regularly takes the children outside, allowing them to explore, stay active, and learn in different environments. This balance between indoor and outdoor activities is something we value highly.
Communication is another key strength. Jessica keeps us well-informed throughout the day, providing updates on Zayn’s mood, wellbeing, and any concerns (for example, if he is teething or not feeling 100%). She also shares photos, which is reassuring and helps us feel connected to his daily experiences.
Overall, we are extremely happy with the care Jessica provides. She creates a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where Zayn is clearly happy, supported, and thriving.
Ushama is really kind humble positive attitude person who takes good care of my kid and I am confident to trust my child in her hands . She is reliable and flexible and also understanding to my needs .I am very happy and content with her service.

My son started with Louise June 2024 he settled in instantly and was comfortable with Louise hands out to her no problem and was a struggle to get him to come home 🫣 he wanted to stay with her so I knew straight away he was in the best hands and she knew how nerve racking it was for me to leave him she sent me photos of him settling in and that put my mind at rest and she kept me updated with all the information I needed my son has developed so much sense being with Louise he does loads of activities his speech has improved massively and Louise and Lloyd are always taking him out to burn off his energy nice to see him out instead of being kept inside doing all sorts of activities zoo visits, soft play, library visits, play groups you name it Louise and Lloyd go to anything they can to keep my son entertained I can not recommend Louise and Lloyd enough to anyone who would ask these guys are the childminders you need that give our children the love and attention.
My daughter has now started with them also and she is thriving I didn’t have that nervous feeling like I did with my son as I saw how amazing they both are and knew my daughter would be well looked after and I’m happy to have both my children together with them words can not explain how warm and comforting it feels to leave my children there knowing they are safe and well looked after thank you so much and I will continue to use Louise and Lloyd until my children no longer need the care anymore.
