We’ve had a fantastic experience with Louise. She has taken the time to understand our son Daniel’s individual needs and has shown real care and thoughtfulness in how she supports him, including learning about Down syndrome to better meet his needs.
She is very nurturing, patient, and attentive, and Daniel is always happy and comfortable in her care. She has also made us feel very confident and at ease as parents.
We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and genuinely caring childminder.

We cannot recommend Nikki and Sophie highly enough. From the very beginning, they have provided a warm, nurturing, and loving environment where our daughter has truly thrived.
Our daughter absolutely adores them, and it is clear to see how much they genuinely care for all the children in their care. They have built such a wonderful bond with her, and she is always excited to spend time with them.
Since being with Nikki and Sophie, we have seen a huge growth in our daughter's confidence. She has become more independent, social, and willing to try new things, all thanks to the encouragement, patience, and support they provide every day. It has been amazing to watch her develop and flourish in such a positive environment.
As parents, the greatest compliment we can give is that we trust Nikki and Sophie 100% with our daughter. Knowing she is safe, happy, and cared for as if she were one of their own gives us complete peace of mind. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication are second to none.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Nikki and Sophie, and we are so grateful for the positive impact they have had on our daughter's life. They are truly exceptional childminders, and we would recommend them without hesitation.

I’m really happy with the care provided by our childminder. She creates a warm, safe, and welcoming environment, and my child feels comfortable and settled there. Communication is excellent — I always receive updates about meals, activities, and how the day has gone.
My child is learning new things every day and really loves it there. They feel like part of the family, which gives me real peace of mind. I’ve noticed real progress in my child’s confidence, social skills, and independence since attending. Activities are well thought out, varied, and age-appropriate.
Most importantly, I feel reassured knowing my child is well looked after, happy, and engaged.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for our little boy! From the very beginning, Prudence provided a safe, caring and nurturing environment where he felt happy, secure and excited to go to. We saw his confidence, social skills and independence grow during his time with her. Her communication was always excellent and we love receiving updates about what he's been doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he is so well cared for and genuinely loved while we're at work.
I first met Evie at Lighthouse, where I watched her care for six babies alongside my little one and I was truly impressed by how wonderfully she managed them all. Right away, I was struck by her incredibly loving and gentle nature; she has such a soft, soothing voice and a calm, kind demeanor that naturally puts children at ease. It is lovely to see how quickly every child warms up to her, they seem drawn straight toward her, comfortable and happy in her presence.
Curious to know more, I reached out to her here to personally enquire about her availability, and she responded instantly — showing how attentive and reliable she is from the very first interaction. Evie really is an amazing person you can confidently trust with your little ones. When you leave your children in her care, you can absolutely rest assured knowing they are safe, happy, and well looked after giving you complete peace of mind and a truly worryfree experience.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our daughter has received with Nikki and Sophie. They have created a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment where our child has felt safe, happy, and valued.

Communication has always been excellent, with regular updates and genuine enthusiasm for our child's progress and achievements.
It gives us complete peace of mind knowing our daughter is in such capable and caring hands.
We are so grateful for the positive impact she has had on our child's development and confidence.
We would highly recommend them to any family looking for a reliable, professional, and loving childminder setting.
Emma started looking after my son when he was 12 months old and he settled in her care very quickly. She was very accommodating, caring, kind and provided lots of updates throughout the day which as an anxious parent helped a lot. Her setting is very child friendly with plenty of opportunity to play and learn. They go to outings to various places such as the zoo, local parks, toddler groups, library and spend time outside on a daily basis, which was very important for us. Emma is very experienced childminder and provided lots of opportunities for my son to develop his social, emotional and motor skills, he really thrived in her care.
We will definitely miss Emma, and wholeheartedly recommend Emma to any parent who is looking for a dedicated, reliable, kind and supportive childminder.

Donna has looked after both of my children for a few years now. She is so loving and caring with the children and always makes sure that they have as much fun as possible. My children love spending time with her. She really takes the time with each child - making sure they are happy and looked after as you would want. Both my boys absolutely love going to see her and it makes me feel so much better knowing they are both in safe hands if I need to go somewhere without them. Thank you Donna

We have been so lucky to find Danielle and her wonderful, caring team. From the very beginning, they made our little one feel incredibly welcome and supported, especially during a period when she was quite unsettled and found it difficult to leave me.
Thanks to their patience, kindness, and genuine care, she has come on so much. Now at 18 months, she absolutely loves attending and has formed a lovely bond with the staff, which is so reassuring to see. It’s clear she feels safe, happy, and truly cared for.
The setting itself is fantastic a beautiful outdoor play area, plenty of space, and a calm, home-like environment with a limited number of children, meaning it never feels overcrowded. This creates a really nurturing atmosphere where each child gets the attention they deserve.
We also really appreciate the regular updates through the app, which give us real peace of mind while we’re at work. It’s lovely to see photos of her smiling and enjoying her day, knowing she is in such good hands.
The monthly enhanced activities are another highlight. They are thoughtful, engaging, and clearly helping her learn and develop. We’ve noticed she’s picking up new skills all the time and bringing what she learns into our home life too.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier. Danielle and her team go above and beyond every day, providing so much love, care, and support. We feel very grateful to have found such a wonderful home nursery.
Thanks Danielle and your wonderful team ❤️
Beth has been coming to childmind my son for 6 months now. She is punctual, kind and my son loves having her round. He displays challenging behaviour at times, but Beth she consistently shows a patience and a caring attitude. I would be happy to recommend her to other parents looking for child care as she is a lovely young woman.

After what had seemed like a positive working relationship for around a year, the childminder raised a safeguarding concern with social services regarding a single mark on our child. We disagreed with the observation and felt the matter resulted from a misunderstanding after discussing the concern with the childminder.
From our perspective, the referral felt disproportionate to the situation and caused significant stress and anxiety for our family. While we appreciate that childminders have safeguarding responsibilities, we were disappointed that the matter escalated in this way and felt it could have been handled differently through further discussion and communication.

I honestly couldn't ask for a better childminder than Emma. From the moment the boys started with her, she has gone above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She is patient, caring, and treats the children as if they were her own.
Both of my boys absolutely adore her and are always excited to see her. Emma provides a fun, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and grow, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they are in such capable hands.
As a parent, there is nothing more important than trusting the person caring for your children, and Emma has earned that trust completely. Her communication is fantastic, she's always supportive, and she genuinely cares about each child's wellbeing and development.
We are so grateful for everything she does for our family. Emma is truly one in a million, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional childminder.❤️
Our daughter started with Nikki and Sophie at 18mo and she's now 4 and a half. Nikki and Sophie feel like family to her, she loves them dearly and they love her! There's so many things they do on days out, so many new experiences... a great nurturing environment, we trust them 100% and I appreciate the great communication they always keep with us (pics, updates...). Fantastic childminders!

Hayley has been an amazing nanny, looking after our two boys (aged 4 and 6) over the past year. She is reliable, has excellent attention to detail and safety, and a lovely personality - our boys adore her! Hayley regularly does school pick-ups and cooks delicious meals for the whole family, helps with homework and supervises craft activities for the boys. We couldn't ask for a better nanny.

Nikki and Sophie have had our daughter from 9 months old.
We are regularly kept up to date with her progress, and her development in the last 15 months has been exceptional.
More importantly, our daughter is happy to go here and is always chatty and smiling when she’s collected, it’s like a home away from home for her.
I cannot fault any aspect of the service they provide, I couldn’t imagine sending my daughter anywhere else.
Our son has joined the setting a few months ago and we are extremely pleased of how things are progressing so far. From development, speech and confidence, you can tell Nawal and Poppy really are putting in the effort to make the kids feel comfortable and integrated. They pay great attention to detail and any requirements you have, from food, clothing, sleep, toys, anything that can make your child feel safe and 'like home'. The activities they do are so various and catchy for the kids, from the simple tasks to some more complex, you can tell the interest is always there. The setting itself has everything a child could need or want, it's a very warm environment for the kids to feel safe and welcome.
Poppy is a very kind and professional childminder, extremely easy to talk to and understanding which has made this process so much easier for us from a parent perspective. She is always very careful and patient with our son, offering him comfort and attention when needed hence why we can see he has grown very fond of her. All the updates she is providing throughout the day and always there to answer any of our silly questions or concerns, has made this chapter so much easier to navigate.
Her being careful and aware of any mood swings or behaviour changes in our son and making us aware of it everytime, gives us the peace of mind that he is being looked after properly.
We are happy to work together with them towards our son's journey at the setting and excited for what's next to come. 😊
