Stacey was absolutely wonderful with my little boy, Mathias! He took a natural shine to her straight away, which says a lot about her calm and caring nature. She was patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with young children. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in safe hands. Would definitely recommend Stacey to any parent looking for a reliable and nurturing babysitter! đź’›

We hadn’t had a nanny before Agata, so had the usual worries of leaving our son with someone we didn’t know- but Agata soon she put us at ease. She quickly became our son’s favourite person. He would often wait for her on the staircase in the morning in anticipation of her arrival. Our son has health needs and developmental delays, but Agata was unfased and quickly got to know his character. They had a great time together - she always made sure his days were filled with fun - and we will always have happy memories of seeing them together. We can still remember him shouting “Agata” each morning she walked through our door, a big smile on his face as he ran towards her.

I came across Sanjidah on this site and am so grateful! She is a wonderful, gentle, trustworthy person who took lovely care of my son. Sanjidah was happy for me to leave instructions for what I needed and made an effort to engage my son in the activities he would enjoy. I really appreciated her gentleness and I know my son grew attached so much so he didn’t want her to leave! I definitely would book Sanjidah again if the need arose!! Thank you so much Sanjidah and I hope to see you again sometime soon!
Nina and her team have been beyond amazing with our little boy in the time he spent with them, they really do go above and beyond with the children there. After just a short period of time our little boy was running in in the mornings and finishing the day with huge smiles!
You can tell they are busy with different activities on a daily basis and spend as much time outside as possible which was really important to us.
We can’t thank you all enough for all the love and care you have given him, if you are looking for a team of people who care and give your children a home away from home this is the place XX

Shalwa tutored my son Liam extensively for 6 hours a week for almost 1 year. Shalwa always kept my son engaged, from using various household objects in maths and acting out scenarios for creative writing. She was able to hold a a 5 year old attention for 2 hours, which is an impressive feat.
We could not have chosen a better childminder than Samia! Our daughter has been with her since she was 1, and as first-time parents it was nerve-racking to consider leaving her with someone. Samia reassured us from the very beginning; I just knew we were making the right call, as soon as we walked in. She just has the loveliest energy and our girl settled in so quickly - we were all shocked! The meals Samia cooks are amazing.. I'm jealous :) My daughter loves ringing the doorbell and giving Samia a big smile and a hug, and she is always in a great mood when I pick her up. She struts into the hallway and is almost surprised to see me there already. Her language and comprehension have grown so much since being there and it's clear she learns a lot from the other children. The setting has a great mix of ages, and all the children are so sweet. It has been the perfect gentle introduction to childcare, and the bar has been set SO HIGH.
Samia herself is warm, kind, caring and an excellent communicator. I can see that she truly cares for and loves my child, and that gives us so much peace of mind. What more could you ask for really? I would trust Samia with our daughter a thousand times over, and feel blessed to have found her. If there is a space, book it, you won't regret it. We love you Samia! x

Anna is absolutely amazing, she goes above and beyond as a childminder, with different daily activities, outings and learning she has really bought my daughter out of her shell in her development and social interaction. She’s great with communication and the daily reports and photos are an extra bonus to see what they’ve been up to. I couldn’t recommend anybody higher
We booked Tayan very last minute when my husband and I had to an event and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was punctual, calm, and caring from the very beginning.
It was the very first time our 6-month-old baby stayed with someone else, and for a long stretch of 8 hours, so I was naturally apprehensive. But Tayan instantly put my mind at ease. She kept in touch throughout the day, followed our baby’s routine beautifully, and created such a warm, safe atmosphere that our little one was clearly very comfortable and happy with her.
I highly recommend Tayan’s services to any parent looking for a trustworthy, gentle, and professional babysitter. We’ll definitely have her over again!

Aisha is an exceptional childminder. She creates a warm, safe, and stimulating environment with thoughtful activities, clear routines, and excellent communication. My daughter is always excited to see her and comes home happy, settled, and full of new things they’ve learned.
Shining stars is an excellent and dedicated professional, very caring and loving with my son. My son has been with her for almost two months, and in two months they have developed a strong bond. He has adapted very well. In two months, she has already helped him develop and perfect many skills. My son loves being at her home and doing activities. He never wants to leave; he feels very happy and loves learning with her. She has all the exceptional teaching materials and varied indoor and outdoor activities. I couldn't have a better exceptional childminder. The world needs professionals like her, who love what they do and are committed to each child. I couldn't be happier and more satisfied. Because those who treat our children well sweeten our mouths with honey. Thank you very much.
Cami usually comes 4 times a week to care for my 1 year old boy, and he absolutely loves her. She usually speaks Spanish to him on my request (though her english is top). She takes him to the playground and to the play cafe as well as takes care of him at home. We travel a lot, and she's been very accommodating. She's joyful and receptive and a pleasure to be around. When she's with my little one, I know she'll be giving him her full attention and that he's in safe hands. Wholeheartedly recommend her!

It meant so much to us to have our daughter in such a nurturing environment for her first childcare experience. Carol and her team are very warm and caring and clearly care about the children they work with. They find creative ways to engage the children. We were sad to go only due to logistics because Carol has a wealth of knowledge and experience. We loved that the setting was homely and not too big but also larger and more stimulating than maybe a traditional childminder. I would definitively recommend.
Thushani and her family were truly like an extension of our own family. From the very first moment, she made me feel completely at ease when I was leaving my son in her care. As a parent of a first child, it'a never easy to trust someone new, but Thushani is genuinely trustworthy and caring.
Every day she took the time to give me a proper handover - answering all my questions, reassuring me, and sharing details about my son's day. She was always professional, kind, smiling, understanding and patient but also consistant and firm when it came to routines and discipline which my son benefited from greatly.
My little boy often mentioned how much he loved her delicious home-cooked food. Thushani also took beautiful photoes every day, which she shares with me - they've become a lovely gallary now hanging on our wall and I've even made a photo album from them.
We have since moved to another town and honestly, there are moments when I still feel emotional thinking about her and her wonderful family. We miss you! People like Thushani are rare in childcare - warm-hearted, reliable and truly exceptional.
We recommend her with all our hearts and send our warmest regards to the whole family. Anna, Adrian & James
Michelle looked after our son from when he was 16m old until he started school and he adored her. Michelle offered a safe and caring environment for my son that meant I was happy and confident to leave him with her. The forest schooling was great for him as being outside is so important at that age and I loved that he wasn’t stuck in the same setting every day. I also found Michelle to be like a parenting guru to me as I often felt I wasn’t sure how to navigate certain phases of my sons development but she was there every step of the way to offer sensible and wise advice from her years of experience. Every child and parent can benefit from this amazing and rare childcare setting.
Myself and my ex wife used Kerry as a childminder for our son, firstly, in fairness, I feel my son was reasonably well looked after whilst in Kerry's care. I attempted to have a conversation with Kerry but she refused unless the mother was also present.
During the difficult times of separation, Kerry felt it was within her role to attempt to isolate me from my son, even using lines such as 'you just have to realise that children just really love and need their mummies'. Whilst I won't argue this point, sending a letter to the court during our family court proceedings having heard one side of the story was extremely unprofessional. I therefore would not recommend Kerry's services
There is so much that can be said about zebra tot's and everything is positive, the staff are friendly, supportive (not just with the little ones), attentive to the individual needs of our Twins and other children in their care.
the setting is quaint and very homely our boys always enjoyed going to Zebra Tots and would clamber out of the car to get there faster to play with their friends, you're always greeted with a smile and asked how you are doing and it's a genuine question your not just a customer there you're made to feel like family.
Helped with so much from the cognitive development of our boys, they where speaking words but not sentences when they first started now they sound like humans, supported us during potty training following the same routine as at their home, they love the spacious garden setting and toys.
i wish i had the words to express how incredible these people truly are, we have used a few childcare services in the area and Zebra Tot's has excelled far past the others, you would be truly lucky to have your children looked after by these persons if your looking for childcare.
Our boys have really enjoyed their time here and would love to continue however as hard as it is to say the time as come.
Massive thanks to Zehra, Bill and her fantastic staff we wish you all the best in all future endeavors!!!

We initially had a very positive impression of Elisha - she was friendly and engaging during our first call and we were genuinely excited to have her join our family as a nanny starting in January. We agreed on all the details well in advance (hours, pay, start date and even planned for her to join us at our wedding abroad) and she confirmed everything both verbally and in writing.
However, after that initial enthusiasm, communication with Elisha became increasingly inconsistent and disappointing. Despite multiple polite follow-ups over several months, she repeatedly failed to send her promised certifications and stopped replying altogether when it came time to confirm a visit with our baby. She had initially agreed to come meet us in September and then simply never followed through or communicated any change of plans.
It’s extremely unprofessional to leave a family waiting and guessing for weeks - especially after confirming all the details of employment. We understand that plans can change, but disappearing without a word is unacceptable when a family is counting on you.
Sadly, based on our experience, I would not recommend Elisha to anyone looking for a reliable or communicative nanny.
