The one writing is the 15year old daughter Saskia took care of. The experience was memorable, she brought me to many galleries and exhibitions expressing her love and passion for art. I will never forget these few days. She's a wonderful and kind person: energetic and always positive. I 100% recommend her!
We have been using Sadie and Rich for a year and highly rate them and their setting. They are kind, fun, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Our son has thrived in their care, he loves the time he spends there. Watching animals outside and playing with lots of engaging toys inside. Sadie sends lots of photos of our son throughout the day and we really feel like he is well looked after. He always sleeps and eats well, when he was very young Sadie would rock him to sleep, which as a parent makes you feel so happy that your child is getting the best care possible.
We cannot recommend Zaf highly enough. As parents of twin toddlers, leaving our children with someone else for the first time was a huge step and naturally filled us with worry. From the very beginning, Zaf made us feel completely at ease with her warmth, professionalism and genuine care for children.
Our kids settled far better than we ever expected, and that is a credit to the nurturing environment she has created. The updates, photos and communication throughout the day are fantastic and provide real reassurance to parents. It is clear that she treats every child as an individual and genuinely cares about their happiness, wellbeing and development. What stands out most is the patience, kindness and dedication she shows. As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are safe, happy and cared for as if they were her own. The setting is welcoming, organised and full of engaging activities that encourage learning, confidence and social development. Choosing childcare is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Zaf. She has exceeded every expectation we had. Harris and Amelia absolutely love their time with her, and we have complete trust in her care.
Thank you, Zaf, for everything you do. You are a credit to your profession, and any family would be lucky to have their children in your care.

As a first-time parent to twin girls, finding the right childminder was incredibly important to me, and I can honestly say that choosing Claudine has been one of the best decisions we’ve made.
Claudine has such a caring and nurturing nature, and from the very beginning she created an environment where my daughters felt safe, happy, and loved. Her calm energy is one of the things I appreciate most; she has a natural ability to make both children and parents feel at ease.
What stands out most is how clearly she works in my daughters’ best interests. She takes the time to understand their individual personalities, needs, and routines, and always goes above and beyond to support their development and wellbeing. She is incredibly accommodating, flexible when needed, and always willing to work collaboratively with our family.
Communication has been excellent from day one. Claudine keeps me updated, shares important information, and is always approachable and easy to talk to. As a first-time parent, I’ve never felt judged for asking questions or seeking advice. She listens, reassures, and genuinely cares, which has made such a difference to our childcare journey.
Leaving your children with someone else is never easy, but Claudine has given me complete confidence that my girls are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she shows every day, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for a professional, trustworthy, and compassionate childminder.
One small area for improvement: I’d love her to pack a few more sweet treats in there book bag… but I have a feeling that’s a complaint coming from my daughters Grandmother rather than me! 😂🍪🍫
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our son has been with Kasia for the past year, from around 12 months old to now being 2, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder. From the very beginning, she made him feel safe, happy and cared for, and he absolutely loves spending time with her.
Kasia is incredibly warm, patient and attentive, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. She provides a wonderful balance of fun, learning and routine, with plenty of engaging activities, outings and opportunities for the children to develop and explore. We also really appreciate the healthy home-cooked meals and the updates she shares throughout the day.
Over the past year we've seen our little boy grow in confidence, independence and social skills, and we know that Kasia has played a big part in that! It gives us complete peace of mind knowing he is in such a nurturing, loving and stimulating environment.
We feel very lucky to have found Kasia and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for exceptional childcare. Thank you <3
Our 2 children have being going to The out of school club for just shy of a year now. Chelsey, Jane and Rebecca have always welcomed our children with a smile every morning. Always take the best of care for our children and always pass messages on to us. Never any problems and will be using the School club for the foreseeable future🙂
My daughter came to lauren just before turning 1 so I was really aprehensive about leaving her, It was in a matter of weeks that she was waving goodbye to me at the door and walking in so happy, which is really a weight lifted for us as parents. The activities that lauren does for and with the children are amazing. They are constantly out exporing , learning new things and I was really blown away at the variety she provides. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds with lauren and her vocabulary and learning is incredible. We will miss her very much, and will be forever greatful for giving our daughter such a loving home from home x
Cara is absolutely brilliant with my little boy, she always arranges lovely activities and takes the children out on day trips. I couldn’t recommend her enough, I’ll be devastated when my toddler finishes with her, but I’m so so glad we had the pleasure of having her as our childminder ❤️
Sohaila cared for our daughter, Zoya, with so much love, patience, and dedication that she truly became like a second mum to her. She supported Zoya through important developmental milestones, encouraged her learning, and gave us complete peace of mind as first-time parents.
As first-time parents, we were very nervous about sending Zoya to a childminder when she was only 6–7 months old. At that stage, she could only sit and wasn't crawling yet. Zoya always took her own sweet time with milestones – she only started walking at around 19 months – but Sohaila was there every step of the way.
Sohaila looked after Zoya as if she were her own child. She patiently encouraged and supported her as she learned to crawl and later take her first steps. Zoya absolutely adored Sohaila and Atifa – to the point where she would happily jump into Sohaila's arms at drop-off time.
Not only did Zoya thrive emotionally and physically in Sohaila's care, but she also progressed tremendously in her learning and development. She was constantly being engaged in activities that helped her grow and learn. She started recognising her ABCs, learning numbers, and coming home with new words and phrases that genuinely surprised us. It was wonderful to see how much she was developing and gaining confidence during her time there.
Sohaila was incredibly flexible, supportive, and a real help to our family. She allowed us to go to work every day with complete peace of mind, knowing that Zoya was safe, happy, and well cared for. Zoya also made lots of friends with the other children and truly enjoyed her time there.
Zoya stayed with Sohaila for a whole year, and the only reason she left was because we moved away. If distance had not become an issue, Zoya would have definitely remained in Sohaila's care.
We cannot recommend Sohaila highly enough and are so grateful for everything she did for our daughter and our family.
Maria looked after our son on several occasions, and we were always very happy with the care she provided. She is kind, caring, and attentive, and our son felt comfortable and happy with her from the start. She kept him engaged with fun activities and made sure he was well looked after, he also loves her home made food. We would happily recommend Maria to any family looking for a trustworthy and nurturing childminder.
We feel so lucky to have found Donna - she truly offers a home from home for our daughter. Donna is thoughtful, kind and talented at caring for young children. Her home is warm and welcoming with a lovely selection of toys. Our daughter spends lots of time playing in the garden, which is spacious and thoughtfully designed with lots of activities. We also appreciate the regular updates on what our daughter has been up to (including trips to the Zoo, park and library) and that Donna is easily contactable and quick to let us know of any issues. Donna offers a wonderful service that will suit any family looking for a warm, family-focused and nurturing home from home for their wee one.
Manda has been looking after my 2 year old daughter Rosie for quite a few months now. She is very kind, thoughtful, caring and provides Rosie with suitable fun activities. Rosie loves spending time with Manda and the dogs!
Manda has always been extremely punctual and reliable, we are so pleased to have found her!
Furdosa has become an extension of our family. She looked after our son from the age of 1 until he was 3, supporting his development and giving him the confidence to thrive outside of home. He absolutely adores her, and it has been wonderful to see the close bond they have built. One of the things we appreciated most was the care she put into his nutrition. She prepared healthy, home-cooked hot meals every day, with plenty of fresh fruit and no unnecessary sugar, which was a huge bonus for our family. Furdosa's loving, patient, and nurturing approach has had such a positive impact on our son, and the support she gave us as parents over the past few years has meant so much. We can't recommend her highly enough. She will always hold a special place in our hearts for the love, care, and dedication she showed our family.
Sue was immediately warm, friendly and playful with the kids. Had an activity she pre-planned with me, so they would be happily distracted about us going out, Sue also suggested arriving a bit earlier, to get more time with the kids to build rapport before doing bedtime with them, which worked so well! The kids really enjoyed their time with her, and said they even preferred her to our regular babysitter back home 🧡 my son was quite tricky at bedtime, but Sue handled it well, and got them to sleep 😴

We feel very lucky to have found a childminder as caring and nurturing as Donna. We really appreciate her taking the time to mirror our preferences around sleep and food, following gentle parenting practices and baby-led weaning. Our daughter is very happy to be left in her care and has never cried when we leave her, which is honestly the best sign! It really is a home from home which is exactly why we think childminding is such a good option at this young age. Our daughter enjoys going to rhyme time, Jingle Bugs and playgroup with Donna as well as playing in the garden and the house. All the things we would be doing with her if we weren’t working. We get detailed feedback and pictures of the day which is always lovely to receive. Our daughter has formed lovely relationships with Donna’s own children, and she’s treated just like one of the family.
We were on holiday in Scotland and Leah looked after our toddler boy several times. She was calm and super sweet. My son gravitated towards her right away. She was super responsive, reliable, and flexible accommodating last minute scheduling requests in between her day job. We appreciated her and hope she will be available again on our next trip to Scotland.
Mariya has babysat a couple of times for our two children - 7 and 9 year old boys - once for an evening and once for a full day. She has a very calm, playful and professional personality. Our children really enjoyed spending time with her and she was a pleasure to speak with. She is very experienced and knows plenty of strategies to keep children regulated whilst having fun. If the kids have come away from babysitting having had fun, feeling positive and at the same time all routines running as usual, then we couldn't hope for anything better. Highly recommended!

Danielle was immediately a warm and kind personality. She babysat for my two young boys (7 and 9 years old) for an evening. We all really liked her, she was professional and she was able to deal with unexpected circumstances, like one of the kids spilling water all across their bed. We wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.
