We honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! They have been absolutely amazing with our daughter, who started when she had just turned one. From day one, they have been so caring, accommodating and flexible with anything we’ve ever needed.
We love how regularly they keep us updated throughout the day, with lovely photos and updates of what she’s been getting up to. They take the children on trips and provide so many lovely experiences, which we really appreciate.
Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and it’s so lovely to see how happy and settled she is there. We feel completely reassured knowing she is so well cared for, and we genuinely wouldn’t send her anywhere else. We’re so grateful for all the amazing work they do and couldn’t be happier with the nursery!
I know Abita from 2013 she has looked after my first son until secondary school. On 2021 she looked after my second sons and she has dedicated time to prepare him to go to reception learning how to write is name and count the numbers. She is always available anytime you need very flexible with time to leave your child earlier in the morning or collect late afternoon she has helped me a lot with this as working parent. She brings your child to the park and interact with session in the Enfield library. She is 5 stars childminder thanks Abita.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our son, Marley. Julie cared for him from the age of one right up until he started school, and throughout that time she treated him like one of her own family.
Marley absolutely adores her and still loves spending his half terms and summer holidays with her, which says everything about the bond they have built over the years.
She was always finding fun activities and taking the children on adventures, giving Marley so many wonderful experiences and memories. She played a huge part in helping shape him into the confident, happy little boy who started school in 2025.
She is kind, patient, gentle and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. As a parent, knowing your child is safe, happy and loved while in someone else’s care is invaluable, and she gave us that reassurance every day.
We will always be grateful for the care, support and love she has shown Marley over the years, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a childminder.
Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for Marley, we appreciate you!
Billi, Ryan & Marley.
Abida has been my children's childminder for 9 years in total from when they were 2 to 11. She is such a warm and welcoming person, and has excellent provisions for children of all ages. Both my children loved her and she treated them with such care and kindness and always made sure that they were happy and having fun. She was always very accommodating to my childrens' needs and was so approachable and flexible when my work schedule was irregular and messed with our normal childcare timetable. She was an absolute godsend to me and I cannot recommend her services enough!
My daughter has been with Rachael for 18 months now and she absolutely enjoys it.
The setting is fantastic with 'nursery' vibes but in a home setting where the children are cared for very much on an individual basis, catering to their strengths and supporting areas needed for development.
My daughter always eats all the home cooked food made there and is very excited to see her friends every day.
Olivia has been an absolute joy to have as part of our family. She looked after our two daughters, who were three and one when she started, for over a year.
She is incredibly caring, proactive and confident, always coming up with fun activities and adventures for the girls and happily taking them out and about. Both our daughters absolutely adored her and formed such a special bond with her.
Olivia is kind, polite, patient and firm when needed, with a lovely approach to boundaries and discipline. She was also organised, reliable, always punctual and respectful of our home.
Although our girls are now in nursery and school, we still love seeing Olivia on an ad hoc basis. She has become a very special person to our family, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful, trustworthy and loving nanny.
Choosing a childminder for our 10 month old was a decision we didn't take lightly, and we searched hard before we found Deglys. We knew straight away this was the place for us. She is so lovely and accommodating, and genuinely goes above and beyond. She treats our son like family, and it shows in everything she does, with a great mix of fun and learning activities. She brings so much fun and warmth to his days, and cooks him lovely, nutritious home-made meals. If you're anxious about leaving your little one in someone else's care, spending five minutes with Deglys will put your mind completely at rest - we couldn't recommend her more highly.

We looked long and hard before trusting anyone with our 10 month old son, and the moment we met Faicka we just knew this was the right setting for us. She is wonderfully caring, but what really sets her apart is how thoughtfully she supports his learning and development. He's hitting every milestone and clearly thriving. We get regular photos of what he's been up to, and you can see the love and thought that goes into every activity, whether it's a playful one or one designed to help him learn. As parents, there's no better feeling than knowing your child is happy, safe and growing every day.

Rebecca is an excellent nanny and housekeeper, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
She is incredibly reliable and fantastic with our two children, aged 4 and 7. She picks them up from school and nursery, plays with them and takes them to the park, makes their dinner, helps with homework, reading, drawing, colouring and arts and crafts, and gets them ready for bed.
She also helps enormously around the house, and we always come home to find everything spotless, tidy and organised.
Rebecca is super friendly, kind, respectful, helpful, trust-worthy, and always very flexible — including being willing to stay longer when we need her to.
As two busy full-time working parents, having Rebecca has genuinely been life-changing for us. We feel completely comfortable leaving the children in her care and are so grateful for everything she does.
Could not recommend her more highly — 10 stars out of 5!

Danielle is a very warm, caring and lovely person who creates a beautiful home like environment for our children to feel loved and secure. Our older daughter enjoyed going to Danielle, she learned a lot and we could tell she’s in a good, safe and caring environment. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our kids, hence I’ll be sending my younger daughter to Danielle soon as well.
Danielle teaches good manners and behaviour, develops language and learning skills as well as provides extra activities driving children’s curiosity, and supporting their individual interest like music and dancing in our daughter’s case.
I feel extremely lucky being able to find her on our path and wish her all the best in the future.
Jo and Emma are absolutely incredible. They really care about each and every child and will go out of their way to help the children in whichever way is needed. Fabulous women who have really helped my children in every way! Highly recommended you won't be disappointed.
Elle is amazing, and I would recommend her without hesitation. She is very professional, reliable, punctual, and has wonderful manners. She is also incredibly creative and always comes up with fun and engaging activities for children.
Elle has many years of experience working with children, and it really shows in the way she cares for and connects with them.
My son has been attending Yoli childminding setting for nearly two years. From the outset I felt comfortable with the environment, ethos and professionalism they had to offer. I love that I can check in on my son's activities while I'm at work and get a taste of his day via their app. Yoli has been very helpful with each developmental milestone and they are supportive of my approaches to parenting, we work together to give my son the village he needs to grow into a kind respectful human. They feed him nutritious food and have engaging activities including outdoor exercises and a Spanish learning environment. Can't recommend Yoli enough. Thank you for all you do!

When I had my little girl pixie, I was between my first and second year doing my degree at university, I had to go back when pixie was 10/12 weeks old, I was devastated but it had to be done! I was referred to Natalie from a friend, I went to Natalie’s house to meet her and straight away I knew she was the most caring, lovely person, I knew before leaving she is who I wanted looking after my daughter.. fast forward 4 years and she has become a second mum to our little pixie.. I couldn’t have wished for better! I have two older children that were in numerous different childcare settings because I was never happy with the care! Natalie has become a valuable friend to us over the years and she feels like family she not only cared for pixie but she’s loves her so much and that’s why we all love Natalie! She has done so much for not only pixie over the years but for us all as a family, she has a heart of gold and the kids are never bored, pixie came home very happy and content every single day and I knew she’s had the best day with Nat! I couldn’t recommend anyone more to take care of your child honestly to leave my tiny baby felt gut wrenching but Nat understood that and kept me updated with pictures and messages to ensure my anxiety was eased but it didn’t take long for me to realise how amazing it worked for us.. pixie unfortunately had her last day with Nat at the beginning of September and it was heartbreaking for us all, we were all crying, I felt awful that I had to take pixie to school and she couldn’t stay with Nat, because if it was up to me pixie would be 20 and still going to Nat lol we will still see her because that’s how much we value her! We love her to bits and we couldn’t of ever wished for better.. we love you Nat!
Charmaine has been tutoring my 5-year-old son since April this year.
From his very first session, my son took to Charmaine straight away.
Since Charmaine started tutoring our son, my husband and I have been extremely happy with her. She has taught him so much.
We can see great improvement in his phonics — he can recognise sounds and pronounce them correctly. He has come a long way with reading.
He is now learning his times tables.
I would highly recommend Charmaine if you are looking for a tutor. She always writes a report after each lesson detailing what they have covered. She keeps in close contact with my husband and me. Most importantly, our son feels very comfortable with her.
My four year old absolutely adores her and loves being in her care. From the first time I met her I knew straight away she was the right childminder for my lil one. She is calm, patience, and supports his development. She explains things properly and communicates well. I am at peace knowing my child is being cared for well whilst I am at work
Finding the right tutor for a young child can be challenging, but working with Caroline over the past two years has been a wonderful experience for our family. She started teaching my son when he was 5, and her warmth, patience, and creative teaching methods have built both his academic confidence and his love for learning. He always looks forward to his sessions with her. We are so grateful for her dedication and guidance. She knows exactly how to keep a 7-year-old focused and motivated. I couldn't ask for a better mentor for him—highly recommended !
We honestly cannot put into words how grateful we are to Tanya for everything she has done for our family over the past four and a half years.
She has been so much more than just a childminder- she has been loving, caring and offers a warm, homely environment for the children.
Tanya has watched our girls grow, supported them through so many milestones and given them lots of wonderful memories. We get lots of photographs sent at the end of each week of what the children have been up to. Including park visits, local groups, National trust, Slimbridge, museums, garden centres and the aquarium, just to name a few. Tanya has endless ideas for keeping the children busy when spending time at home and they have great fun with all of the seasonal activities!
We couldn’t have wished for anyone better to care for our girls and it’s clear how much Tanya genuinely cares about the children.
It was an emotional end to a very special chapter with both our girls and we are very lucky that our little boy will get to experience the same in due course. We have recommended to friends who have also gone on to use Smiling Monkeys!
Thank you Tanya, we couldn’t have wished for anyone better to care for our children ♥️
