I cannot recommend Adriana highly enough as a childminder. From day one, her professionalism, warmth, and nurturing approach gave our family complete peace of mind whenever our children were in her care. She looks after the children with genuine love and dedication, making them feel completely secure and well cared for.
We plan to continue using her services long-term and wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and top-tier childminder. Thank you, Adriana, for everything you do for our family!
We are so grateful for everything Lana has done for our daughter Emily.
From the very beginning, Emily’s transition was smooth and positive, and Lana played a big part in making her feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Seeing Emily come home smiling every day and often asking to stay longer gave us complete confidence that she was in the best hands.
Lana always planned fun activities and supported Emily through every stage of her development with patience and care. We especially appreciated how she respected Emily’s personality and encouraged her growth at her own pace.
Lana was also incredibly helpful and flexible, always doing her best to accommodate our schedule whenever we needed changes.
We highly recommend Lana to any family. She has made a real difference in Emily’s life, and we know she will be greatly missed.
Although our son wasn't at Rohini's setting for long, Rohini was absolutely lovely. She is kind, caring, accomodating, empathetic and child focused. She was extremely organised when it came to monitoring my son's preferences and routine and she had a good variety of activities for him to engage with. By far one of the loveliest childminders I've met and a real 'home from home' setting.
A huge thank you to Nina and the whole team for the care they have provided for our twins over the past 2 years. If it wasn’t for the convenience of sending all of our children to the same setting, they would still be there. The twins bounced into Nina’s each morning with a quick goodbye to us, and loved telling us about what they had done and who they had played with when they came home. They have both grown so much over the time they have spent with Nina and the team- they are both full of confidence now and have come on leaps and bounds with their communication and interaction skills. It was also lovely to see the relationships they had both built with each member of staff when we dropped off and picked up too.
I can’t thank Nina and the team enough for how they have cared for our children- thank you!
We chose Jan because she is a Godsend. I visited so many home from home environments and loved meeting Jan because she gave us so much time to get to know one another and work out if it was the right place for our son.
Her communication and understanding makes life easy. Not only do I trust her entirely but she is completely invested in every child in her care. They’re all so happy there. She cooks home-made meals, visits various local play groups, the playground and instils a sense of independence in all the children.
Jan is very well known in the area for her wealth of experience and has helped to look after our son in the way I want to bring him up. I regularly ask her advice on all and sundry and she’s been incredibly kind to our family at every stage. I really couldn’t recommend her more and it’s a joy to see our son grow in her care.
When I was looking for childcare, I found Ali through this website. My original plan had been to send my son to a nursery, but after meeting Ali, I felt that a smaller, more nurturing home environment would be a much better fit for him (and me as I did not want to go back to work!). It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
My son started with Ali when he had just after turning one and will be leaving just before his fifth birthday to start primary school in September. He has loved every moment of his time there, and I couldn't have asked for a better start to his early years.
Ali has created such a warm, caring, and stimulating environment. My son has loved the variety of activities they do, from crafts and play at home to trips to the local playgroup, soft play, the park, and lots of time spent outdoors exploring and having fun. Every day has been filled with opportunities to learn, play, and make wonderful memories.
One thing I've always appreciated is how supportive Ali has been of my parenting. She has always listened to my preferences especially around sleep and food, respected the routines that were important to us. As a parent, that support and consistency has meant so much.
Ali has cared for my son with genuine kindness, patience, and affection, and she has played such an important role in helping him grow into the happy, confident little boy he is today. Knowing he was somewhere he felt safe, loved, and excited to go every day gave me complete peace of mind.
As he gets ready to start primary school, we will both miss Ali and her whole family so much. They have been such an important part of our lives over the last four years!!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Ali to any parent looking for a caring, experienced, and truly exceptional childminder.
Francesca has taken care of our daughter Alix between 12 and 21 months old, for short evening baby sitting sessions or full day. Every time our daughter loved playing with Francesca and the contact was easy and natural when she arrived home. Thank you!

My baby had really good time with Uzma.
She is very understanding and flexible.
My son was with Anna and Hibak from 1 years old to 3.5. They were super caring and attentive during his initial settling in period and my son soon adjusted to attending full time.
Both super qualified and parents themselves, they offer a wonderful setting and daily activities focused around play.
My son has developed wonderfully under their guidance also, kind, considerate, compassionate, learning from older ones whilst also being taught how to play thoughtfully with smaller ones as he got older. He’s had a great experience, as have I, and would highly recommend.
We Confirmed the booking for childminding yesterday and time and date and pickup location was all agreed we. With the childminder.
The childminder sent a message today at 1pm to ask if still on which I only saw around 3pm due to being away from internet connection at work.
So the childminder decided not to attend even though everything was confirmed yesterday price and times all agreed
This is very unprofessional and has cost me to loose money due to her not attending
Very disappointed
We are so grateful to have found Ellaine. She has provided such a warm, nurturing, and personalised approach to caring for our son, Dylan, always understanding what he needed as he grew.
The positive change in Dylan has been amazing—he has become so much more confident, independent, and mature. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave us complete peace of mind.
We have been so happy with Ellaine that we will be sending our second son, Alex, to her as well. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
We could not be happier with Cookie Maison. Our son spent a year there and would have stayed longer if we weren’t moving away from the area for my work. Donna and her team were amazing from first to last and we cannot recommend them highly enough. When our son struggled to settle they were patient, kind, and wise in their approach to helping him settle, and as first time parents they really put our minds at rest.

Yashwini is now a teenager, but let us roll back to 2011-2012. We found Jean through Childcare.co.uk when all three parties, Childcare.co.uk, Jean, and ourselves, were in their infancy in one way or another.
We would like to start with a huge thank you to Jean (and her family) for welcoming Yashwini as one of their own family member. Jean helped our daughter grow, develop, thrive, and express herself, even during those very early years of her life. We often refer to guardian angels as being reserved for a select few, and Jean was certainly ours during that time. Her outstanding care helped our daughter and our family so much that, even after all these years, we can still say that Jean will always remain our daughter's Guardian Angel (capitalised for a reason).
Yashwini was born with a hip condition, and unfortunately, the doctors failed to detect the early signs. We had our suspicions, but it was only after Yashwini started attending Jean's setting at around the age of one that those suspicions became a reality. With her keen eye for detail, Jean confirmed that she could see signs of the condition in the way our daughter walked. The rest is history. Today, our daughter is fully cured, but not before enduring more than four difficult years of surgeries and treatment during her early childhood.
Throughout that challenging period, Jean was meticulous in caring for our daughter, providing her with everything she needed, including nutritious home-cooked meals. We thank Jean for her kindness, generosity, motherly nature, and, above all, her ability to notice those extra little details in children that help bring out the very best in them. Jean was so caring that she even visited our daughter during one of her surgeries.
We are writing this review after all these years because we had lost contact with Jean, but we did not want to miss this opportunity to share our gratitude.
Would we recommend Jean? More than 1,000%! She is exceptional, warm, and genuinely dedicated to the children in her care. Her current reviews clearly show how she has continued to grow as a childminder, both in experience and expertise. I could keep writing about Jean because she brings positivity to everything she does. May this continue for many years to come, allowing many more children and parents to benefit from her outstanding services.
Thank you, Jean.
Best wishes
Kartyk, Vimala & Yashwini.
We recently made the decision to pull our toddler out of nursery and came across Courtney’s advertisement. Communication was super easy and we set up a visit straight away! Our toddler has since started with Courtney 3 days a week and has settled in so seamlessly. We are updated regularly on what he is up to throughout the day, and he has been having so much fun! Our toddler is usually a little uncomfortable with strangers but Courtney has made him feel so comfortable and he is now excited to see what they are up to for the day. We would really recommend Courtney ❤️
Natalie is amazing and has been such a special person in our lives. She started looking after our 1 year old daughter who would jump out of my arms every morning when we arrive. Natalie's house is spotless, she makes all of her own home cooked meals and has a great outside space for the children to play. Her communication and kindness is above and beyond. We are so grateful for the loving experience she has created and are gutted to be leaving the area and Natalie. She is an angel and we would highly recommend her services.
Echo all 2026 reviews here.
We reviewed numerous options circa 2023/2024 for Richmond/Kew/Margate/East Twickenham area for all care for ages 1-4 years; we're so glad we found Pegah and Mehdi.
We really appreciate Pegah and Mehdi's tireless efforts and their smart approach; they make the most of West London and the setting itself is very practical across the board (e.g. handy buggy parking, quiet side-road, lovely back garden area, airconditioned spaces inside).
Current 2026 cohort of children is great too, very glad to have such lovely kids.
We knew from the first time we met Chérie that she was the perfect person to look after our little one when I went back to work. Our daughter started with Chérie at just 9 months old and has now just turned 2.
Chérie is so caring, kind and patient, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for the children. She does lots of lovely, fun and educational activities, and we’ve seen such a big difference in our daughter’s development since being with her.
We feel so lucky to have found Chérie and couldn’t ask for a better person to look after our daughter, it really feels like home from home. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️
