What can I say. My daughter attended Little Humbugs for nearly eleven years and has just left! Kim and Charly are both just amazing. We will really miss seeing you all as you have been part of our lives for so long. The attention, love and support they have given our daughter has been second to none. They have encouraged and instilled confidence enabling her to be the best she can, even when she was three months old. We can’t thank you enough, we couldn’t have coped without you ❤️
We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Halima. She has been more than just a childminder to us – she has become a true friend and part of our family. Her genuine care, kindness, and love towards my child and myself have made such a difference in our lives.
Her WHOLE family reflects the same warmth and respect and it has played such an important role in caring for my child too. Knowing my child is surrounded by such genuine, kind-hearted people gives me so much peace of mind.
Not only has she supported my child’s growth and development, but she has also been a source of comfort and encouragement to me as a parent. The bond we’ve built is something truly special, and I couldn’t ask for a more caring, dedicated, and reliable person to look after my princess.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and exceptional childminder. We are so grateful for all she has done for us – she will always have a special place in our hearts.
I appreciate all you have done, may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family, God willing!🤲🏽
We love you !! ❤️
Veronica was extremely warm and friendly. Her communication was clear and she understood our needs. She made our son feel at ease straight away. Reassuring and left us feeling confident she would be able to handle whatever situation arose with our son. We look forward to working with Veronica in the future.

Stacey has been such a light in my darkest day for my Kids. When i needed help she was there to care for both my children and kept me updated as the day goes by. What i love about Stacey's approach is that she takes time to know my kids and ensures that they have an amazing time. Stacey is reliable and Honest. She ensure my kids are well fed and clean.
My kids loved their trips to the park, the library etc. We miss you Stacey and all the very best.
Julie does so much & more for us & baby can't appreciate her help enough since the early days of having a baby & all the big struggles we were having!
Struck gold by finding her.
Julie is like a machine at our home when getting stuff done for baby & us.
Cooking, cleaning, making stuff, knowledge, experience none of which we as new parents expected her help being so advanced!
Julie's a real mother figure & can imagine her family are very proud of her!
Claire was a part of our family for 6 years as nanny. But now friend as our girls are grown. And I had to cut down hours.
There is nothing I can say other than thank you. Claire’s love care and professional attitude was more than we could have wished for
If I could have another child just to have her I would !! Highly recommend
Our daughter did so well and was so happy with Glaucia. Glaucia provides a warm, loving environment. She helped my daughter reach all her milestones and prepare for school. We were able to work together to make potty training and eating new foods consistent for her. She took her to the local library, playgrounds & softplay and my daughter was excited to tell me about her day. I always felt she was in great hands with Glaucia and am so grateful to have had her for the last 3 years. I highly recommend her.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Pippa for our children, both of whom have thrived in her setting over the past few years.
Pippa's child led approach has been incredibly beneficial for our children's confidence and capabilities. She tailors her activities to best suit the children on a daily basis, and we have always been so happy with the children's developments.
We've been so impressed with the amount of both outdoor and indoor pursuits that she carries out every week and our children have thoroughly enjoyed many trips into London, forest walks, swimming and baking at home (with leftovers for parents too which has always been a real treat!) .
We receive regular updates on our child's development across all aspects with a constructive plan on future steps, alongside so many photos of their journey and time spent together.
She was also incredibly accommodating when it came to our son's skin and allergy needs, providing him with additional support and care which put us at great ease . A great communicator, she provides regular and honest updates , and have always felt safe leaving our children in her care. She provides a fun, safe, and familiar setting which the children have thrived in. I would highly recommend Pippa's setting to anyone looking for a childcare provider.

Our little one started with Jayne at 12 months and it was much easier going back to work knowing he was in such good hands. She is kind and caring and quickly builds relationships with the children in her care. It was brilliant to know that he would have a consistent adult each day. Our little boy adores Jayne and we couldn’t have asked for a better start for him.
I couldn't be happier with the care that my two boys receive from June. Boys absolutely adore her, and it warms my heart to see them so happy and engaged in her care.
June is always exceptionally well-prepared, and her communication with us is fantastic. Every day, she sends us numerous pictures, keeping us updated on their activities and progress. I appreciate her daily check-ins, as they give me peace of mind and make me feel involved in my boys' day-to-day lives.
One of the things I love most is the weekly plan she shares with us via WhatsApp. It includes the nursery rhymes and storybooks they will explore together, which not only gives us insight into their learning but also allows us to engage with them at home.
As a family where English is not our first language, I’m so grateful for the extra effort June puts in to ensure my boys are well-prepared for school. My nearly two-year-old is already starting to form sentences, and thanks to her dedicated approach, he is progressing remarkably well with potty training.
My older son knows his shapes, letters, and is currently learning to write his name! It’s incredible to see how much he has developed under June’s care, and I truly believe her support has laid a strong foundation for their educational journey.
In short, June is more than just a childminder; she is a key player in our children's growth and development. We feel incredibly fortunate to have her in our lives and cannot recommend her highly enough!
Sonali has been teaching my son for the last two years. She was recommended by a good friend, whose son has had the benefit of Sonali's help for the last 5 years. As English is not my first language, it has been extremely difficult for me to help my son.
I find Sonali professional and knowledgeable. My son lost a year of schooling due to Covid and he had a lot of catching up to do. He goes to a private school, so he has a lot of pressure to keep up with the school work. Before I was introduced to Sonali, I was so concerned about my son's lack of understanding, that I was prepared to change his school. I highly recommend Sonali because within 3 -4 months I could see how much my son has learned and what a great improvement he has made at school.
Sonali knows the curriculum inside out and what I appreciate the most is that she gets the best out of my son. Even if he feels lazy, uninterested or moody, she manages to engage him fairly quickly. Also, my son responds well to her witty character, fun teaching style and the lovely reward system that she uses. It is highly effective for helping him to do his best at all times.
She gives comprehensive feedback after the lessons and texts or emails often to suggest additional activities and extra homework, which I find absolutely priceless for my son's development. He has progressed rapidly with Sonali's help.
I just read the last review which seems to complain about Sonali talking to the father of one student. She talks to my husband and myself equally, as that can only benefit my son in the long run. Sonali has been nothing short of kind, friendly and caring towards my son, and our whole family. I can't sing her praises enough!

I had an amazing experience with Shelley, my son loved it so much to go at her place. I cannot recommend more anyone else. She find solution for every situation and come along, to which I am really thankful. Your amazing daughters are so lovely and welcoming. THANK YOU!
Catherine is kind, patient and warm.
As soon as I met with Catherine I felt at ease, her home is welcoming with a wonderful garden and space for the children to play inside or out. The children enjoy such a varied activity list including walks, outdoor water play, trips to the library, baking, and developmental crafts/games. On realising my son loved to post things she made a game for him which incorporated posting coloured lids through the right coloured hole. Her level of dedication and care for the children is above and beyond and I can not recommend her enough. My son is now in preschool but still asks to see her and the family.
Thank you Catherine
I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Pat and Garnett for the amazing care they gave my daughter over the summer holidays. From the very first visit, I felt the warmth, love, and genuine dedication in this special place. The way children naturally gravitate towards you is truly beautiful – it says more than words ever could.
This was my first choice, and it meant so much to me that my daughter could be with you – and it was absolutely the right decision. She came home every day full of smiles, stories, and joy. We were welcomed with such trust and kindness, and I’m deeply grateful for that.
Unfortunately, our schools are too far apart for regular care during term time, but we’re so happy to know that she has a place with you during the half term – and she can’t wait to come back!
Thank you for being who you are and for creating such a loving, joyful space for children. ❤️

We are so grateful for the care and support provided. She is punctual, trustworthy, and always makes sure the children are safe and happy. My children quickly built a strong bond with her, and they look forward to seeing her every day. She's patient, responsible, and communicates well with parents ,which gives us complete peace of mind. Highly recommend.
I was nervous about leaving my one-year-old with someone I didn’t know for the first time and in a place unfamiliar to us, but Katie was absolutely amazing. She instantly put me at ease and I felt completely safe leaving my son with her. She even brought Montessori toys along and kept him happily engaged with lots of activities. Katie was flexible and kindly stayed later when I asked, which was such a help. I would definitely recommend her to other parents and will be hoping she’s available again when we next visit the Isle of Wight.
We had Emily caring for our son Alexander one day a week for two years (ages 3-5), and she was wonderful. She consistently took him on engaging outings—playgroups, library visits, and nature walks where she shared her knowledge of plants and animals. Emily was great at keeping us informed with regular updates and photos throughout their days together.
Emily was particularly observant about Alexander's development, providing detailed feedback on his progress and proactively working on areas like fine motor skills. Alexander always looked forward to his time with Emily, and we could see how her thoughtful approach helped him develop confidence and curiosity. She played an important role in preparing him for the transition to school.
We would absolutely recommend Emily to other families.

Our 8 and 6,5 year old boys (and dog) instantly warmed to Miri, who is a complete natural around children (as well as animals). She is also responsive, organised and reliable. As an added bonus she’s a very good cook and happily prepares a nutritious meal for them and us. We can easily recommend Miri to other families.
