We’ve had a wonderful experience with Siew Hoon and would highly recommend her to any family.
Siew Hoon is a fantastic nanny—she is incredibly organised, always plans ahead, and puts thought into each day’s activities and routine. She is proactive and always thinks one step ahead, which made everything run so smoothly.
She is also very patient, kind, and friendly. She has a calm and caring nature, and our daughter always felt happy and comfortable with her. Siew Hoon is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the children she looks after.
We’re very grateful for all her help and the care she has given our family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Julie looked after both of our daughters over a seven-year period, from 2019 to 2026, and we honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better. Leaving your children to return to work is horrible, but Julie made the whole process so much easier, especially after we'd had issues with two previous childminders.
From the moment each of our girls started with her, they were happy, settled and excited to go each day. Julie created such a warm, caring and homely environment, which was exactly what we wanted instead of a nursery setting. She took the time to get to know them as individuals, encouraging them to try new things, build friendships and grow in confidence. She also worked closely with us to support key milestones such as potty training.
Julie has played a huge part in both of their early years and in helping them become the fierce, independent young girls they are today (this is both a blessing and curse lol). She encouraged them to be confident, curious and kind, while always providing the reassurance and support they needed.
The girls loved the activities and outings including from playgroups and library visits to crafts, outdoor play and days out bowling and to the cinema. She regularly met up with other childminders and their children, providing further opportunities to develop their social skills. Even during the Covid pandemic, when our eldest was with her, there was always an activity, adventure or day out planned.
Julie was brilliant at keeping us updated through messages and phots. We always knew how the girls were getting on and felt comfortable raising any questions or concerns with her.
Julie has been a huge part of our family life, and saying goodbye was so hard (more so for me than the girls!). Both girls have wonderful memories of their time with her, and we will always be grateful for the care, patience and support she gave them.
Julie is amazing, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful childminder. We feel very lucky to have had her as part of our daughters' and our lives for so many years.
Disobedient, not straitforward, in our absense takes advantage of children who cant talk yet, giving priority to her comfort zone or needs. Harsh or forceful when child doesnt obey. Unnecessary expenses, doesnt hand over neither receipt nor all the items purchased.
My son has been attending Stacey’s childcare since June and he loves it.
Stacey is kind and compassionate and has a real love for children in her care. Stacey’s care is one of the best settings I have ever used and nothing is too much hassle for her. Every morning we are met with a smile and when I collect him we are told all about his day and the fun things my son had been doing. Even when my son isn’t in the setting on the summer holidays we have regular check ins with Stacey. She will message to find out how he is doing and how he progressing with crawling, teething etc.
Stacey is a lovely lady and the rest of her family is also the same. I can not fault anything about my son’s care and he is so happy to see Stacey when he arrives in the morning.
I came to the UK (from the US) with my wife for five weeks so she could take a special course. We have a 20-month old and I had more work than anticipated and required immediate babysitting services. Deepika drove to our rental 3-5 days/week and watched our little one. She's very intelligent, clearly experienced, warm and engaging. Our kid ate better with her than he does with us, learned new songs, and was saying her name ("Depu") when he woke up in the morning. They went on long walks and spent most of their time outside in nature / playgrounds. For both us as parents and him as our child we feel grateful to have found her. Our son will miss her so much! We wish we could find someone as good as her in New York City.
(one last bonus, she also did the dishes and tidied up before leaving which was not asked but extremely appreciated)

I honestly don’t think I could recommend Lauren highly enough. Finding her has felt like an absolute godsend.
After having a couple of difficult experiences with childcare, I was naturally quite apprehensive about starting again with somebody new. From the moment I met Lauren, though, that feeling completely disappeared. She has this incredible ability to make you feel as though you’ve known her for years. She is so warm, genuine, reassuring and easy to talk to that, very quickly, she has felt more like a friend than simply somebody looking after my child.
And then there is the way she is with the children. She is genuinely fantastic. My child has taken to her amazingly well and, after only the third proper settling-in session, I can already see a real little bond beginning to form. As a parent, there is honestly no greater reassurance than seeing your child becoming comfortable, happy and secure with the person who is going to care for them.
Walking into Lauren’s home just feels different. There is such a lovely atmosphere — fun, happiness, warmth, nurture and, most importantly, safety. It doesn’t feel clinical or like you are simply dropping your child off somewhere for childcare. It feels like a genuine home from home where children are loved, included, played with and allowed to have a wonderful childhood.
Lauren is one of those people who seems to have been made to work with children. She is enthusiastic, kind, energetic and just naturally brilliant with them. There is always something fun going on, and she manages to create that magical balance of children feeling safe and nurtured while also having an absolute ball.
I have jokingly described her as a modern-day Mary Poppins, but I genuinely mean it! 😂❤️
More than anything, I feel incredibly lucky that we found her. Entrusting somebody else with your child is such a huge thing, and finding somebody who gives you that feeling of “yes, my child is going to be okay here” is priceless.
Lauren, thank you for making what could have been such an anxious transition feel so completely different. We are only at the beginning of our journey with you, but already I am so grateful that my child has you in their little world.
An absolutely wonderful childminder and a genuinely lovely person. I would recommend Lauren in a heartbeat. ❤️

Karen has been working with our son for months since he was falling significantly behind in school and the difference we have seen in him is just massive. His confidence and love for learning are so evident now. She is so patient and really knows her stuff. I love her teaching approach where she personalises tasks to fit his personality and interests like using superheroes. She works brilliantly with us as parents keeping us updated on his progress and helping us understand how to support him. We are so grateful for her help and our son always looks forward to Saturday mornings.
Karen has been helping with our 3 year old son's pick-up for over a year now. She also looks after him at home when he can't attend nursery and when she's available. She has developed lovely bond with our son and he adores her. She is kind, intelligent, and always willing to try and accommodate when we need help, even at short notice. Our son started talking late, and Karen would talk to him about everything they saw which I believer really helped with his language development. She's always looking for new activities and interesting places to visit with him.
Karen has become our friend over time. She offered her support when I was heavily pregnant which was truly heart warming.
We have seen our child grow and flourish in her care, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Uzma for everything!
My daughter went here for two years. She was always so happy to go. They were so friendly and so patient with her. They have different activities everyday and on Fridays had a speech therapist. Absolutely amazing experience. My child will always miss Monika. At the end of it they did graduation for all the 4 year old and gave me a report of the skills she had acquired, photos included and how ready she is for reception.
Definitely use her, her setting is amazing.
Showmiya cared for our 9 month old for a few weeks. We had a great experience: they have a very nice setup for the kids, all the kids are happy, they brought AC when it was hot. Showmiya was very communicative and flexible, and helped with our baby’s naps. We will definitely recommend her to anyone!
We booked some tutoring sessions with Joanna over the summer to give our 5-year-old extra support and confidence before starting Year 1. He can struggle to focus and Joanna has been brilliant at finding clever and creative ways to keep him engaged and interested throughout the sessions. She’s incredibly patient, encouraging and has really taken the time to understand how he learns best. We’d definitely recommend her!
Wendy looked after our young child and was caring and professional. She regularly updated us on their day and even brought some activities from home for them to do. We had a good experience with her and would be happy to book her in the future.
Donna helped us with our 2-year old daughter when we were visiting Errol. We had the most amazing experience! She is very professional, wanted to get to know our daughter and was well prepared when we met. She knew our daughter’s interests and brought all the toys she needed to be entertained. From the very first moment, Donna immediately made a wonderful impression on our girl and they had the best time all day! We couldn’t be happier that we found Donna! Would definitely highly recommend her help to our friends and family!
I couldn’t be happier with our experience at DeeBlooms Childcare. My son has been attending since January, and the progress he has made has been incredible. He has absolutely thrived, and it has been so lovely to see his confidence, independence and development grow.
DeeBlooms provides such a warm, caring and welcoming environment. The staff are genuinely attentive, supportive and clearly passionate about the children in their care. They create a fantastic balance between learning, play and social development, while making sure every child feels valued and supported.
Miss Dee is an inspirational practitioner who is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. Her passion for early years education is clear in everything she does, and she has created a setting where children are encouraged to learn, explore and develop in a safe and nurturing environment. Her dedication to the children is truly exceptional.
I have complete confidence in the care my son receives, and knowing that he is happy, settled and thriving makes leaving him there so much easier. The setting has been wonderful for him, and I honestly couldn’t recommend DeeBlooms highly enough.
There is genuinely no other childcare setting I would consider sending my child to. I feel incredibly lucky to have found DeeBlooms and will always be grateful for the care, encouragement and opportunities they have given my son.

I highly recommend Mags. Our son was with her for almost 2 years from the age of 10 months. From day one, Mags was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, professional, and flexible whenever our plans changed. She truly treated my son like a member of her own family, and they had such a lovely bond. As a first time mum, Mags would share some great parenting advice and even after leaving 4 years ago we still find ourselves selves saying ‘as Mags would say’. We sadly stopped using Mags in 2022 due to relocating with work, otherwise we would still 100% being using her today
Sarah is a very understanding and caring baby sitter. She has a keen eye and an open mind and will compete any task
without judgement. She is very trustworthy and I feel happy knowing my children are going to be looked after by someone that will take good care of my children.
