The commitment of Annette and Eddie to what they do is simply amazing. We wanted a home away from home for our twin boys and Lilies of the Valley simply provided that. As a mother I feel relieved when the boys are with them. They do pick up the boys in the morning and return them when they close for the day. They provided the needed care and environment for the boys to learn and grow. Our boys are now confident and interact well every where they go.
Dear Annette and Eddie , thank you for being part of the boys development.

It's hasn't been long since we left Rebecca, but l can already tell my little one misses her and her team. My daughter started with Rebecca at 11months to 17months. She had been home with me till that point, was very clingy and l was worried how she would settle without me. It didn't take long for her to settle in and at times refuse to come home because she was having that much fun.
She's become super confident and loves to sing and dance, all changes we noticed from the point she started with Rebecca and Team. Rebecca always greets you with a smile and keeps you regularly updated on now the children are getting on.
Your children will be in great, loving hands. Thank you Rebecca. We will miss every single one of you.

My daughter was with kathleen from the age 2. From the very 1st day, actually visit! She settled in immediately. I never had any worries. Kathleen did an amazing job caring for my daughter. Her days were filled with learning and fun - farm visits, gardening, baking, nature walks, library visits. Kathleen kept me updated on her progress with pictures, phonecalls and reports/memory box. She helped my daughter learn to read, write and basic maths in preparation for primary school. Kathleen will be dearly missed. My daughter was sad to leave but excited for her next steps and this just goes to show the level of care, confidence and encourgement Kathleen instills in her kids. I highly highly recommend Kathleen for any prospective parents seeking childcare. Your child(ren) will be left in very capable hands and will thrive under Kathleen's care

My son is going to auntie Sheizan's setting since October 2023, so for the last 10 months
Sheizan is very dedicated and she is organising the daily activities for the children very well. Their days are well balanced between learning, playing and resting. My son really loves going to the setting and enjoys spending time with the other children, this way developing social skills and making friends. With Sheizan's support and continuous encouragement my son started speaking and now he is singing as well :)
It is very easy to communicate with her and she always had a good advice or recommendation for any situation regarding my son, which makes raising a child much easier, she is a real pillar in our life (thank you!)
I am highly recommending Sheizan for childcare :)
A2zi Childcare is a very warm and welcoming environment, our experience with the settings has been an amazing one, Our mind is always at rest whenever our son is with A2zi Childcare knowing fully well that his needs will be fully met, when we initially brought him to the settings, we taught he would hardly cope but to our greatest surprise, he catches up quickly and before we knew what was going on, he has already adapt to the environment and so much use to the settings, he is always happy and lively whenever I go to pick him up, thumps up to our favourite teachers too at A2zi, I would recommend A2zi again and again.
Julie has been one of a kind, she had looked after my son for the past 2 years while completing my nursing degree. My son adores Julie and loves the days she takes him to school. No request on hours is a problem and she is always able to accommodate my difficult schedule. Highly recommended, the quality of care and passion she has for her job is next level and I hope to contuine to have her as part of our lives for years to come.
There are not enough words to describe how truly wonderful, caring and brilliant Donna is and if there were then there's not enough room in this box to write them all. Donna has cared for my son for 1 year now. When my Son first went to Donna he was very attached to myself, shy and hadn't socialised very much with other children. Looking back now I can't believe how much Donna has helped him become the confident, Intelligent and funny little boy he is today. Donna has cared for him as she would her own son which is exactly how I would. My Son has progressed so much in all areas since being with Donna, he has socialised with other children also in her care and at play groups, he's brilliant with colours and numbers and he has a very wide vocabulary. I have no doubt that Donna will continue to make a big impact on many children's lives as she is brilliant at what she does, she has such a strong connection with all the children and really has helped to bring out the best version of my son. I'm devastated we are no longer in Alton (despite looking for jobs and houses in the hopes he could keep going to Donna). Donna I cannot thank you enough for being the most kind, caring and warm person to ensure the transition was as smooth as possible. We're so lucky to have found you and you'll always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you so so much and if anyone is looking at Donna's profile then I really hope you're lucky enough to have found some availability in her schedule as she's truly wonderful and you'll have no regrets about leaving your children in her care.
Frankie has been amazing! Our daughter really enjoys spending time with Frankie who goes out of her way to provide a fun, safe and engaging environment. We are kept up to date with all of our daughters activities via WhatsApp and its lovely to see her having so much fun.
We're so lucky to have had such a kind, caring & thoughtful childminder.
I first started using Nats childcare services back in September 2020. My oldest being Jaxson who started when he was 6 months old and my youngest Carter 1, who started with her in October 2023. Both of my boys absolutely adore Nat and they see her as such a big positive role model in their lives. With myself being a newly single parent I could not imagine mine or my kids lives without her in it, she has helped me so much and has supported both me and my children throughout all of it. I have so much faith in her and trust her 100%.
Highly recommend, she is a star⭐️
I'm so glad we found Jo when looking for childcare for our daughter. She is caring, friendly and has made sure our daughter was happy and settled every time we dropped her off. Our daughter loved it when we would mention going to Jo’s. Jo provides a variety of activities and outings, she has a lovely outside space for children to use too.
Thank you for helping our little one grow.

Maria has been our son’s childminder for the last year and is wonderful, so warm and nurturing, I couldn’t recommend her home enough! We’d had H in a nursery around the corner and he’d cried every day for hours, we were finding it so hard to settle him so made the decision to leave the nursery and start with Maria as our childminder, our baby was like a different child.
Maria looked after him and engaged with him so well that he was settled within a couple of days and has been so happy there since. It’s felt like he’s part of a wider family. Thank you
Where to begin with June and Sue who became like a family member to our son and not just his childminders.
We began our journey in lockdown 2020 with searching the local childcare options for our then 6month old and I knew the moment I sat with June and had seen the setting that this was the place for us.
Fast forward 4 Years and our son now leaving for primary school had the best experience with June and Sue and he was very sad to leave them behind to start his new adventure.
The organisation and how the setting is ran is superb, we are sent every week the following weeks itinerary and everything the children will be doing which includes literacy, maths and fine motor skills. Photos are sent pretty much all throughout the day showing how the children are doing.
With all the fun carefully thought out activities, music class, inside playing area, story times. the garden area, mud kitchen, visits from Santa and the easter bunny your child will be loving life here.
From the beginning I found working off the same hymen sheet in terms of parenting at home and daily attendance with June really helped with my son's development in his first years of his journey in life. From potty training, getting his self dressed on own, one on one time with his early years learning and in general just all round becoming the confident, independent little man he is today just couldn't be done without her support and patience.
I can guarantee every little one who leaves June Kiddiewinks and heads up into the next stage of school will be so advanced for their age group.
We are going to miss June and Sue so much and I cannot, cannot thank them enough for the most important start to life for our son. So please look no further for your childcare as everything you need is here.
Miss you already

My son is 7 months old and he has been with Rani for 1 month now. I can say he is settling in well. She is caring and patient with him. He likes it so far and I am happy with that. Rani also sends me pics and videos so I can see how he is doing and that is very reassuring. The place is welcoming, clean and she has toys for the kids can play with. Overall a good experience so far.
The setting has a real family feel. All of the kids get along like siblings, with the support, friendship and social development that brings.
Louise and Ian have a range of toys and activities to suit all tastes and interests, outdoor space to run, jump and climb and go on local trips to get comfortable in new and exciting environments.
Their flexibility, warmth and care has been fantastic for our child since pre-school. Now we use wrap around care before and after school and also during school holidays.
They are fantastic. 5 stars. It is a real show of faith to entrust your children to someone to care for. If we had more kids, they’d go there too!
We recently asked Donna to help us out with caring for 3 children aged 4 years, 14 months and 6 months while attending a wedding. Not the easiest age combination but Donna coped brilliantly. The 4 year old said he had a lovely day with her. We felt very positive about all aspects of our experience with Donna and would happily use her again.
Joyce provides exceptional care in a warm, safe, and nurturing environment. Our child eagerly looks forward to the variety of educational and creative activities. Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos. Joyce's professionalism and dedication are evident in every aspect of her work. We highly recommend her to any parent seeking outstanding childcare.
All three of my children have been looked after by Ann and we have been using her for 8 years now. My daughters 9 and my sons are 3 and 1. My kids all love Ann and her setting. They always go in without any drama which is reassuring and makes the morning drop off so less stressful for both them and myself.
Ann is so much more than just a childminder she’s an extension of the family. She’s supportive and helped with all aspects of parenting ie teething, weaning, potty training. I would truly be lost without her. Leaving my children knowing they have got an amazing day of adventures ahead and are safe and well looked after makes all the difference as a working parent.
Ann is always busy with the kids be it play group, trips to park, woods or softplay.
Ann’s assistant is amazing, they make a great team and look after the kids like they are their own.
Ann is truly amazing and one in a million.
