We are so happy that we chose to send our two year old daughter to the Vales. After visiting Annette and Tony’s home and meeting them for the first time, I knew that we had made the right choice. They are so kind and caring, providing outstanding childcare that is second to none. Our daughter has attended for over a year and has thrived in this family-orientated setting. We have watched her grow in confidence, whilst learning new and valuable skills. She really enjoys all the fun activities that Annette organises such as baking, arts and crafts and learning through play. Our little girl has been on many outings for learning enrichment, giving her the perfect opportunity to experience new things. Annette and everyone who works with her are professional, knowledgeable and dedicated, leaving us reassured that our daughter is in the best possible hands. We drop her off in the morning, knowing that she will have the most amazing time! My husband and I thoroughly recommend Annette and Tony’s Childcare.
Sarah has been our daughter’s childminder for a year now and has been fantastic. She is a kind and caring childminder who our daughter has settled in brilliantly with. Sarah gives us regular updates and photos throughout the day and a thorough hand over at the end of the day which is really helpful. We are so pleased we found Sarah and that she has such a wholesome home from home approach.
Vicki is an amazing childminder. She has a genuine love and care for the children in her setting. My daughter has grown in confidence and developed so well whilst in her care. She's been fantastic with her doing so many activities my daughter has learned so much from her and I will forever be grateful. can’t recommend Vicki enough. she is the best ❤️
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Abi. From the very beginning, Created a safe, loving, and nurturing environment that our child absolutely loves. It’s clear how much care and thought goes into every part of the day — from fun, educational activities to outdoor play and healthy meals.
Our child settled in quickly thanks to Abi’s calm and kind nature, and we’ve seen such positive growth in their confidence, social skills, and independence. Communication has always been excellent, with regular updates and photos that truly give us peace of mind.
It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are for the love and care Abi shows every single day. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for a trustworthy and wonderful childminder.
Thank you for everything you do!
Little Hoppers is an incredible nurturing setting, also provides an incredible learning space both inside and outside. Jess is always finding ways and new ideas of developing children's understanding of the world and thier learning.
One thing I really like about Little Hoppers is the children are always so engaged in thier play whilst the environment remains calm and peaceful. I also really like that the children have access to very natural materials and this has really deepened my daughters imagination in her play.
Jess provides such amazing opportunities for the children not only in the setting but out on trips to many places like: National trust, strawberry picking and feeding lambs to mention just a few.
We recieve regular updates during the day, I feel Jess goes above and beyond at this, but I love receiving them, so am really appreciative of Jess for this.
During my time with Little Hoppers we have always received advanced notice of setting closures and have been kept upto date on any policy changes. All policies are in line with both Ofsted and Goverment regulations and are the same as they would be in any other childminders or nursery setting.
Jasmine has been a huge part of our lives, caring for both of our children, Oliver and Joey, since they were both just 10 months old. The only reason we are leaving her care is because Oliver is going to school and Joey going to pre-school.
From the very beginning, Jasmine created a warm, welcoming, home from home, environment that immediately put us at ease. Her whole family, including her husband Damien and children Lily and Matthew, made us feel completely comfortable and confident in our decision to have Jasmine care for our children.
Under Jasmine's care, both our boys have absolutely thrived. Her home is thoughtfully set up with age appropriate activities and a fantastic, dedicated playroom that encourages learning through play. She takes the boys to regular playgroups, Willows Farm, Whipsnade Zoo and seasonal experiences like visiting the Easter Bunny, meeting Santa and seeing the Christmas lights in London.
Another of Jasmine's strengths is her experience with early years education especially in developing speech and communication. Thanks to her support and encouragement, both Oliver and Joey have exceeded their developmental milestones.
Another highlight is the nutritious, home-cooked meals Jasmine provides every day from Spag bol to fish pie, roast dinners and even curries! Our boys love them so much so they often ask us to make the same meals at home.
We honestly can't recommend Jasmine enough. She has made the often daunting juggle of working parents not only manageable but also reassuring. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our boys and us
Sumaia is a very professional nanny. She is punctual and reliable. She has been a huge help to our family since starting with us. Our 4 months old has really taken to her and my autistic 9 year old is very comfortable around her as well. She is resourceful and proactive.
We have had no issues with her work so far 👍
Emma has been our childminder since January 2024. She has looked after both of my boys, and continues to look after my youngest after his brother started school in September 2024. Emma is incredibly kind, caring, patient and thoughtful. She's given both of my son's wonderful experiences - they love going to the park and playing with her games and going in her garden.
I was a little worried after my eldest son went to school that his brother would miss him, but he loves going to Emma. He talks about her at home and is always happy to see her when we're out and about. She's very communicative and tells me how he's gotten on. I love seeing his photos! She encourages him to continue to develop his independence, such as gently guiding him to get his belongings or put his own shoes on at the end of the day.
She always has a smile when she welcomes him at the door every morning. It was really daunting having to find wraparound childcare when I went back to work but I couldn't ask for a better childminder for my child and I know that he is safe, secure and in a nurturing environment.
My boys have always felt at ease and comfortable with Emma. They absolutely adore her. I'm very grateful to Emma and they have thrived in her care.
Tabassum and her family offers a warm, welcoming space where my child feels truly at ease. There's always something fun to do but just as importantly, there's room to unwind after a busy day at school. The meals she provides are thoughtfully prepared, with care for what my child enjoys and needs. Her home is social, safe, and full of joy. My child genuinely looks forward to spending time there. Tabassum’s childminding has become a real home away from home for us. We're so grateful!
I am very pleased with Vickie’s work as a childminder. She is highly professional, attentive, and caring in her approach. My daughter, Alex, is now three years old and has been in Vickie’s care for the past two years. She still attends full-time, from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday.
Every day, I receive a detailed report highlighting the key activities and moments from Alex’s day, which gives me great peace of mind. Vickie provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment with plenty of space for the children to play. She also organises regular outings to local gardens, playgrounds, and other child-friendly locations, always with parents’ knowledge and consent.
Vickie’s dedication and professionalism have been consistent throughout, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.
Srini has cared for my little boy for a couple of years now and sadly today was his last day with her due to starting school. To say we are devastated is an understatement.. my son is very sad at the idea of not arriving at Srini’s house everyday. Srini and her family treated my son as if he was one of their own, my son spoke so highly of his days with Srini and I always felt so so comfortable knowing he was safe in her care which is all a parent could ever ask for. Srini is kind, welcoming and patient with the children she looks after and she has a very warming aura about her that immediately puts you at ease. My son and me will miss Srini dearly but we will be staying in touch so they can keep the strong bond they have created together. Thank you so much Srini, I hit the jackpot finding you! G x
During Saoirse's time with us, she was consistently punctual and incredibly caring towards our daughter. Saoirse was truly committed to her role, and it was evident in the thoughtful activities they engaged in together. Our daughter always looked forward to spending time with her and thoroughly enjoyed their time together. We are grateful for Saoirse's help throughout her time with us.
Jana is an incredible lady!
She has been childminder to all 3 of my children for 6 years. She provides the perfect home from home, her family are lovely and my children adore her. She takes the children on trips to educational and fun places and weekly playgroup sessions so they socialise with other children. I strongly recommend her services, my children have thrived in her care.
Thank you Jana!
Heather has looked after both of my daughters over a 5 year period and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I went to work everyday with the confidence that they were in an environment that was as close to home as possible. They experienced lots of fun and laughter with the other children in Heathers care, along with her own children. They made lots of crafts, played games and had outdoor fun aswell as lots of other enjoyable experiences. If you want to someone who is going to create a homely, caring environment for your child/children, then Heather is No. 1.
Sabrina and her team made our first experience of putting our daughter into childcare fantastic in every way. Our daughter settled in really quickly, despite having previously been very clingy and shy around other adults and children. I am really glad she experienced the homely, family-like atmosphere of Crystals before we moved her to a nursery, even though this hadn't been our original plan. She has grown and learnt so much during her time at Crystals, with her social skills, speech and movement developing rapidly. Sabrina went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed from the start, sending us very regular photos and updates. She always makes sure the children in her care have the mostly wonderful learning and play experiences, taking them out to local parks, shops, play groups and on a brilliant farm trip. I'm so glad we found Crystals, thank you for everything!
My little boy has been at Tineytots since he was 9 months old and he’s now 3 and a half. He settled in really well from day 1 and I’ve never had tears or problems dropping him off. There’s always been a warm family atmosphere and a friendly welcome for him each morning. He skips in and often forgets to even say goodbye.
I’ve never had any issues - I can’t remember any times that they’ve been shut or cancelled on me and holiday is v.rarely taken and plenty of notice is always given well in advance.
My little one often comes home with things he’s made and the team always put lots of effort in to fun activities especially at Easter, Christmas Halloween etc.
My son has become a confident sociable little boy and I couldn’t recommend Tineytots highly enough
Christine is a brilliant childminder I was worried at first to put my son in childcare but went to finish her setting and I feel well settled. My son has now been coming 2 years in October and he is so happy and settled here
I couldn't thank Christine enough she keeps in contact via WhatsApp if anything is wrong or even to the point she sends photos on a daily basis of what they had done that day.
I highly recommend this childminder for anyone in doubt dont be in doubt she is a fantastic childminder and I cant praise her enough for my little boy he has come a long way since visiting Christine I am very grateful
Where do I start , I have 5 children my oldest being 16 and my two youngest (2,3) have been with Leigh since January, and I have to say hand on my heart , THE BEST nursery any of my children have gone too. My daughter can now say sentences , put puzzles together and sings practically every nursery rhyme at the age of just 2 . And my son has become so confident and happy and eats things here that he wouldn’t dare even look at when at home 🤣, Leigh and Claire are more like aunties then childminders and I was very hesitant to put them into a smaller setting , but it was honestly the best decision ever . Trips out all the time , lots of outdoor play and learning , it’s just perfect . My babies get so excited for nursery and it’s so lovely to have that trust that when out working you’re babies are having the best time learning , playing and thriving . Thankyou Leigh and Claire you’re amazing ♥️
