Our family is visiting in London for the summer and my wife and I wanted to go out for dinner without the kids for one night. We found Helen and she was amazing. Kept our 3 kids well entertained (without devices) and in bed before we got home. All before 9pm. Helen came prepared, ask about our kids before coming and brought arts and crafts bits to keep them focused on a task and curious. Helen is very friendly and has a very motherly demeanor. She is calm and exerts a peaceful energy. Our kids are already asking if she can come back to help again before we leave for the summer. Needless to say, we will ask for Helen if and whenever she is available. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a short-term or last minute nanny.
Lizzie has been warm and welcoming to our boy for over 4 years, providing not just an education but a kind and positive relationship. Both myself and my wife often refer to Lizzie as our boy’s ’second mother’. We are kept up to date on a daily basis with messages and pictures so that, as parents we can share in the learning of our children. The setting is ideal, with beautiful countryside and garden that provides hands on learning and fun activities. She provides healthy and nutritious home-cooked meals for the children in her care and to see the progress that our son has made during his time there has made us see how ready he is to begin school in September. We are that impressed with her services that we are sending our daughter there next year. Our son is already excited to see you at his little sister’s pick ups. Thank you for everything you’ve done Lizzie :)
Mandy and Kev were out daughters childminders for 10 years. They were more than childminders to us, they were like family. I can't recommend them both enough.
Both of our children have attended various nurseries, but when we decided to move our youngest, we changed to a child minder instead. We are so glad we found Amy and feel extremely lucky to have found a place with her. Our youngest was 2 when he moved and his speech and language has flourished with Amy. In the space of a couple of months, he went from saying the odd word to speaking in full sentences. He is excited to go to Amy’s house in the morning and is very bubbly and chatty about his day once he gets home. We have also seen an improvement in our son’s understanding and curiosity, and he has made some lovely friends. Amy provides lots of stimulation and learning activities for the children and Edward particularly loves playing in her garden on the slides and trucks. Amy works with other childminders in the area and our son enjoys going to play with the other children.
We would recommend Amy to other parents looking for childcare and have been very pleased with our child’s progress and happiness in her care.

My daughter loves it when I say she is going to see shenique, she is really kind and easygoing but very professional and assertive. She plays and keeps my child stimulated and knows how to handle her. She keeps me updated with pictures and messages. Her home is a safe environment for children and she is a fantastic help to us. Thank you shenique

We have a very young baby (7 months now) and Jess has been an absolute treasure since we contracted her services.
She's so good with our little one! She focuses on chemistry first and then takes care to ensure the baby is well fed, well entertained and walked (in a pram).
She does everything I would do with her, including nappy changes and songs!
I can't recommend her enough and our baby agrees.
We're now on our third week and we want to continue with Jess as long as we can :)
Ps. She is as punctual as a German and very tidy
Thank you

During a very difficult period for our family, my wife has been struggling with depression, while I have been trying to work from home and take care of our daughter on my own. We were looking for support and reliable childcare to help us get through this challenging time.
Unfortunately, our request was rejected by CJ One. We only mentioned that we might consider switching to nursery in the future, but we also would be happy to continue with their service for as long as they could provide the right support for our family.
We were disappointed that our situation did not seem to receive much understanding or flexibility. It felt as though the focus was more on protecting long-term financial interests rather than offering a helping hand to a family going through a difficult period.
Saffiya is an experienced, qualified, dedicated, hardworking, honest, punctual and intelligent care giver. She has been tutoring my autistic non-verbal son for a while, and we have already started seeing improvements in his speech, learning, behaviour, self help and motor skills.
This is because she puts a lot of effort and insight into her work. She is a good listener and a good communicator, and resonates with our thoughts.
I would like to continue longterm collaboration with her for my son's progress. And I totally recommend her.
Our son started attending Pegah’s when he was 12 months. I was really nervous about him going to childcare and couldn’t be happier that we found Pegah and the wonderful childcare she offers. There are really no words to explain how great I think Pegah is, but I’ll try…
Pegah, Medhi and her team are incredible with the children. It is clear that they love the children and they are looked after with absolute love and care in a wonderful home and nurturing environment.
There are amazing trips almost every day to a huge variety of places which are enriching for the children: the local farm, Kew Gardens, the Wetlands Centre, soft play. Every afternoon Pegah arranges amazing activities for the children, based on different themes each week (for example, for “ocean week” they made and painted a wonderful seascape, and since “bee week” my son has adored seeing bees). She clearly spends a huge amount of time and energy planning and executing the activities for the children and I’m amazed every week at what she plans for them.
Pegah puts love and care into the food the children eat and I’m always impressed by the wonderful homemade menu she creates for the children. There is never anything unhealthy or processed.
Pegah has managed to help us along the way with what feels like incredible individualised care, such as helping with his naps and helping him to settle when he started.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Pegah and what she offers. I don’t see any other childcare which comes close to offering what Pegah does and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a loving and enriching environment for their child
We honestly could not have hoped for a better childminder. From the very beginning, she has been caring, kind, professional, and incredibly organised, giving us complete confidence that our son is in the best possible hands.
She has such a natural way with children, and our son absolutely loves spending time with her. It’s wonderful to see how happy, comfortable, and excited he is every time he goes. She takes the time to understand his personality and always makes him feel safe, valued, and encouraged.
Her communication with us is excellent, and it’s clear how much thought and effort she puts into planning activities and creating a nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and develop. Nothing ever feels rushed or overlooked.
As parents, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is being cared for by someone who genuinely loves what they do. We trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
We would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a childminder. She has exceeded all of our expectations, and we are so grateful for everything she does.
We have been with Nina for 8 years, first with my son Martin and then with Gabriel, who is starting Reception this September. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder.
Nina and her team are like a family-run business. They care for every child with so much love, kindness, and attention. They always take the children's feelings into consideration and make sure they feel safe, happy, and valued.
The children enjoy so many wonderful activities, including baking, building, trips to the park, visits to see animals, and even planting trees. Every day is filled with fun, learning, and new experiences.
Nina is one of the most caring people I have ever met, and the rest of the staff are just as amazing. She has always treated my children like they were her own, and she was like a grandmother to them. Knowing they were always safe, loved, and well cared for gave me complete peace of mind.
If you are looking for someone who will care for your child as lovingly as you would yourself, I cannot recommend Nina highly enough. She has been such an important part of our family's journey, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for Martin and Gabriel.
Amir has been attending Tiny Treasures for a few months now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care he receives. He absolutely enjoys his time there, and drop-offs are always smooth, which gives me so much reassurance as a parent.
Erum treats Amir as if he were her own, and you can clearly see the lovely bond they have built. He is always happy to see her and comes home smiling, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and well cared for he feels.
The setting itself is always clean, welcoming, and well organised. Although it’s a cosy environment, it has a huge garden where the children have plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy outdoor activities.
The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Communication is excellent, and it’s lovely to receive updates and know Amir is happy, safe, and learning every day.
I would highly recommend Tiny Treasures to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and loving environment for their little one. Thank you, Erum and the team, for everything you do!
Great care provider, safe, hygienic and overall perfect communication with parents!
Our son has been with Sara for almost 2.5 years and she has been an excellent care provider throughout this time. We feel very fortunate for the great start she has provided him.
Her communication has been brilliant - updates throughout the day as well as end of day summaries, and reviews 2-3 times a year to discuss progress and next steps. She has even liaised with his preschool to support his transition and to ensure cohesion with potty training.
Over the last few years we have regularly been told how advanced our son's skills are, especially his speech, and Sara has had a big hand in this. Following development schemes which focus on a wide breadth of skills (physical and emotional as well as educational) she creates fun and interactive activities for the children. But she is also considers their interests, setting up dedicated activities for them (for us that has involved dinosaurs and bugs). Our son particularly enjoys the learning walks they go on, and going to the local playgroup which Sara is a keen supporter of.
Our son has thoroughly enjoyed his time with Sara and I know he'll miss attending the setting. It was a bit of no brainer when we needed childcare for our youngest and we feel very fortunate that our youngest is able to follow in his brother's footsteps.
We were looking for a temporary Nanny in the northeast of England for our holidays and were very fortunate to come across Kelly. Before we even arrived, she had laid out some ideas for an itinerary for our two year-old. She was very flexible with our schedule and really engaged with our child. She put safety first and was very engaging and I really recommend her.
Steph has been fantastic with my 4year old daughter. After having lots of life changing events, Steph has made her feel welcome and secure. She takes the children on outings and ensures they get plenty of outdoor time or exercise. Over the last 2 years I've seen amazing development in both my daughter's social and academic skills all thanks to Steph's patience and experience.
Steph's communication is excellent and she always provides updates and a detailed handover at pick up. As a single parent, I also appreciate her flexibility, it's been a lifesaver.
Steph has become an extension of my daughter's family and even now she's started school she still talks about Steph's house and how she misses it!
My son has been with steph a year, and she is incredible.

My son has come on so much this year whilst being with steph, he is very well
Spoken, has good communication skills and is thriving. Steph treats my son like one of her own children and thats amazing to be able to witness. The children are always on a little adventure with steph taking them nice
Places, not only does steph care exceptionally for the children she cares for, she is also on top form when it comes letting me no, how my sons day had been, what he has been up too, nap time etc.
