A wonderful childminder who provides a warm, homely environment where children feel safe, loved, and cared for. She goes above and beyond by feeding my child if she doesn’t like what I have packed, making sure she never goes hungry. She is thoughtful and attentive—always applying sunscreen when they go outside and providing a cap for extra protection.
She takes exceptional care of the children and consistently teaches good manners while encouraging independence, always focusing on helping my daughter grow more confident and self-reliant. Her years of experience shine through in the valuable parenting advice she generously shares with us. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so caring, dedicated, and supportive.

My son has been attending Ann Marie's setting for 4 years now. He has made lots of friends there and really enjoys his days at 'school'. He has learnt his ABC's, counting and lots of nursery rhymes and sing songs which he comes home singing to me.
He loves Ann Marie and Francine so much so that when he comes home he accidently calls me Francine too.
The setting has an abundance of entertain for the children, encouraging both inside and outside play. The garden has recently been renovated providing a safe and fun environment for the children.
Communication and support regarding funding has been superb, invoices sent promptly and the following months activities notification has been really useful in preparing not just the children but parents as well for school life.
Ann Marie and Francine place care in readying the children for schoolm enrouaging independance and prviding the support whenever it has been needed.
The flexibility they have provided our family has been a God send and we so sad for our son to leave them this September. I'm not sure who is more upset, my son or me!
Thank you for your amazing service and care!
Sophie has been our nanny for almost a year now, starting when our son was turning 5 months old. Sophie has always taken perfect care of our son. We'd never had a nanny before and we both have busy jobs and it was very reassuring that Sophie has so much experience both generally looking after children but also knowing all that is available in the local area so he gets the most out of his day. She always has the day's activities planned, but will adapt to his needs and our requirements as well. She's great to work with, always on time and communicates really well with us both at handover and during the day. She is a wonderful nanny, we are only letting her go because our circumstances are changing and we will miss her very much.
Emma has cared for my daughter for the past year (and still ongoing), and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better. She puts her whole heart into what she does, and it truly shows in every detail. The care she provides is so well thought out, with everything tailored to meet each child’s needs from baby age upwards.
My daughter feels completely at home with Emma, which was exactly what we hoped for. It’s such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment—you genuinely can’t have a bad experience. Every day, the children are given real opportunities to build social skills and take part in a wide range of creative and engaging activities, many of which I wouldn’t have even thought of myself.
Emma has created such a special place for children to grow and thrive. It will be incredibly hard to leave, and she will be deeply missed. I would recommend her to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and enriching environment for their child.
If you are looking for flexible childcare and want peace of mind knowing your children are well looked after and in an inclusive learning environment, look no further!
For the first time ever, my 5 and 3 year old sons are looking forward to going somewhere and have improved majorly in a month under all aspects also trying new foods they've refused before.
Very grateful for finding those settings!
Ayodele has been absolutely amazing with our 19 month year old, due to a very bad experience with another childminder I was very anxious as a first time mum to see if everyone works the same, as soon as I stepped into her home she made me feel extremely welcome, it was clean and very well set up with an amazing playroom with lots of activities for children to do, when I saw the way she bonded with my child then it was a done deal in my eyes, it melts my heart when my child is so excited to see her and I have no anxiety of leaving him with her.
She offers so much love & attention and is constantly sending me messages & pictures of him enjoying himself and laughing which we love to see.
I see the care in her eyes for my child and that is what any first time mum would want, she truly is amazing and I would recommend her always.
We always make a packed lunch for our child, but she has also advised on certain things that I wouldn’t know which is a huge positive.
She is wonderful person and she would love & care for your child as you would do 👍🏻
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sadika and her mother. They were recommended by a friend, and we only wish we had discovered them for our first child as well. The setting is immaculate, and the beautiful garden has been an added bonus. They show such genuine love and care for our daughter, and she still remembers them fondly months after leaving their care.
As a nuclear family living in London, with no family meme bees nearby to rely on, we rely solely on trustworthy childcare providers to help us. Their flexibility during times when we needed additional support has been invaluable. It gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our child is safe, happy, and well-cared for with her wonderful childminders.
Dee has been absolutely amazing ever since we started coming. My little girl came from 9 months old and she absolutely loves coming. Dee is so kind and caring and very accommodating. Even my children who don’t attend love coming and dropping their sibling off and waving at Dee. She’s wonderful with my little one and does an absolutely outstanding job of looking after and caring for my little one and her face lights up everytime we pull into the gateway. She learns and explores so much by being there too. Would absolutely recommend this lovely lady and amazing place to anyone looking for childcare. 5*

As my little girl (4 years) prepares to transition to school in September 2026, I am writing this review to celebrate the time both she, and my now 6 year old, have spent with Rhianna at her wonderful setting. We have been incredibly lucky to have Rhianna in our children’s and our lives for the past 5 and a half years.
Rhianna has cared for both of our children—our son, now aged 6, and our daughter, aged 4—and the impact she has had on their development, confidence, and happiness has been exceptional.
From the very beginning, Rhianna has provided a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where both of our children have truly thrived. Her home is warm and welcoming, and it is immediately clear how much care, professionalism, and genuine passion she brings to her role. Our children have always felt secure and valued, which is incredibly important to us as parents. We love getting our daily photos and updates about what they have been up to. She takes time to truly understand their individual interests and tailors activities to the children whether it’s farm trips, museums, the beach, crafting, writing their own name or going to airports to see aeroplanes. Both children have always been excited to attend these trips and are eager to share what they have been doing.
Both children have developed strong independence and social skills before starting school and Rhianna’s communication with the nursery school has helped us identify areas to strengthen for the transition to reception. Our son is doing very well at school with making friends, reading, writing and maths and we believe Rhianna’s earlier educational influence is part of his success. Our son still speaks very fondly of Rhianna and her family and enjoys maintaining that connection, often running into her house to say hello to her daughter and husband.
Rhianna’s communication is regular and informative; her policies are clear and updated regularly and we’ve really appreciated her organisational skills. We cannot recommend her highly enough, she is genuinely passionate about childcare and early years education, and this shines through in the relationships she builds with children and families alike.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have their children cared for by someone so dedicated, caring, and professional.
Natalie was amazing from day one - we needed help quickly during our temporary stay in London and her help with providing solo twin care and related household chores were impeccable. We have moved back to cornwall and are just sorry that we could not keep her on :)

Jo had our daughter from 10 months old and they had an amazing bond from the get go. Jo is lovely, kind and brilliant with kids. It doesn’t feel like a job to Jo, it’s like she’s looking after one of her own to the point it was hard to pick my daughter up to take her home as she loved it there and didn't want to come home! If you are looking for someone safe and someone to love and look after your kids Mumma JoJo is the place to go.
Amy and the team are truly exceptional and stand out for the enriching, well rounded experiences they provide for children. From the moment you meet them, it’s clear that care, thought, and dedication go into every aspect of the environment.
One of the most impressive features is the strong focus on outdoor learning. The children benefit from a fantastic outdoor setting where they can explore, play, and develop a real connection with nature. Whether it’s engaging in hands on activities in the fresh air or enjoying structured outdoor learning, the opportunities provided are both meaningful and fun.
The regular day trips are another highlight. These outings are carefully planned and give children the chance to experience the world beyond the setting in a safe and stimulating way. Visits to local areas, including allotments, allow children to learn about growing food, nature, and the environmen encouraging curiosity and practical life skills from an early age.
What truly sets this setting apart, however, is the incredible team. They consistently go above and beyond for the children, showing genuine care, patience, and enthusiasm in everything they do. It’s clear they are passionate about supporting each child’s individual needs, ensuring every child feels valued, safe, and encouraged. Their commitment creates a nurturing environment where children can confidently explore, learn, and grow.
On a personal note, my son has absolutely thrived here, not only in his development but socially as well. He has made friendships that will likely last a lifetime, which speaks volumes about the warm, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere created by the team.
The variety of opportunities offered is outstanding. Every day feels purposeful, with a perfect balance of play, learning, and exploration. The environment nurtures confidence, independence, and creativity, ensuring each child can thrive at their own pace.
Overall, this is a warm, inspiring, and highly professional childminding setting that goes above and beyond in every way. Any child here is given not just care, but a truly enriching and memorable start to their early years.
Rayhan is one of the kindest, honest, most caring and happiest people we know. Our son started going to Rayhan once a week almost a year ago and after 2 weeks we decided to take him out of nursery and place him with Rayhan full time as he seemed so happy under her care.
I love how warm, kind and welcoming she is. Rayhan is also a very competent teacher, has a structure with kids and the acceleration in learning of our son was visible straight away. She takes out kids to parks, museums, play centres almost every day and develops them so much through those trips. Her organisational skills are fantastic and her food always smells soooo good! She provides a fab home but yet educational environment. Great communicator, provides lots of pics and videos of activities.
We couldn't have asked for a better person, always calm, caring, fun and has a very good approach to kids. Our son asks for Rayhan at weekends or even when we're on holidays. We're very lucky we have found her and wouldn't hesitate recommending her to others. Hope we can place the second one with her!!
Angela has looked after our son for over a year now. He is so happy and walks straight in to start playing every day without even looking back. He settled in extremely quickly due to Angela's kindness and fun activities.
The range of activities and day trips they go on gives him a wide range of experiences and keeps him well entertained. As well as visiting local parks and toddler/music group, they venture further afield to places including Beale park, Dinton pastures, the Lookout Discovery Centre, and a Forest School type club. Angela also regularly gets the children to complete themed arts and crafts projects and baking activities.
Angela offers home cooked meals at an extra charge for lunch, which we initially did not take advantage of, but now do, and can say it was the best decision. She has definitely expanded the range of food our son enjoys and has helped him become a really good eater.
As well as uploading daily pictures, each term Angela sends home a Learning Journal full of printed pictures of the term and pages of learning updates. Families are encouraged to return the journal with pictures and information about their holidays for the children to share with each other.
Angela cares about our family as a whole, and has gone out of her way to offer extra support at a particularly challenging time for us, for which we were so grateful. The children in her care love her whole family and when my son lists all the people he loves, she is always high on the list.
We cannot recommend Angela enough, and feel so lucky to have our son cared for by her.
Doris is caring and kind and has lot of patience. She has been looking after my children for a few months now and she has been very flexible as work long hours and early mornings. She has been really great with my son who is special needs. My kids are happy to stay with her.
My daughter started going to Sara's in January after she turned 1 and it has been such a positive experience for all of us as a family. She settled so quickly and has a lovely time. She's made some cute little friends who make her laugh, and Sara has made her feel so comfortable and happy. Sara plans so many fun things for the kids to do, including local groups, sensory play and outdoor excursions - there's never a dull moment! When people ask me how my daughter is getting on at the childminder I feel so relieved and grateful to be able to say that she loves it. Thanks Sara
Gwen is everything we were looking for in a childminder and so much more.
She is natural, honest and a genuine caring woman.
We are an outdoorsy family and we absolutely love that our daughter is out and about all day. She often visits the farm where Gwen’s horse is, as well as many parks, play centres and nature reserves.
Gwen provides a safe environment for our daughter and the other children she looks after.
She is really flexible with pick up/ drop off times, keeps us informed really well is our daughter is under the weather etc.
If you are looking for a no nonsense, down to earth lovely lady to help you out I cannot recommend her more. We feel like our child is with family.
We’ve been so lucky to have Marisa as our childminder. Our son has been with her since he was 10 months old, and she’s been amazing with him. He’s always been happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her, which has made such a big difference to us as parents.
Marisa has gone above and beyond so many times. When I wasn’t driving, she helped us out with pick‑ups and drop‑offs, and during a really tough time when both my husband and I were in hospital, she kindly kept our son for extra hours without hesitation. Knowing he was safe and happy with her eased so much stress for us.
She’s caring, reliable, and genuinely loves what she does. We’re incredibly grateful for all the support she’s given our family and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
