We feel so lucky to have found Simeone and to have got a place for our little girl with her.
Simeone has been amazing, especially during a difficult period when our little girl was struggling with eating and sleeping. She worked with us to help get a consistent routine in place between home and childminding, and her experience and advice were a huge help to us as parents. She has always been so supportive and willing to go that extra mile.
We love getting regular photos and updates throughout the day, which are always lovely to see. Even when our little girl has been unwell and hasn’t been able to attend for a few days, Simeone has checked in to see how she is doing. It’s little things like this that show just how much she genuinely cares.
Our little girl is always so happy going to Simeone’s in the mornings, and honestly, dropping her off feels like leaving her with her own granny. There is no better feeling than knowing your child is happy and being so well looked after when you can’t be with them yourself.
Simeone also has a fantastic garden and so many toys for the children to enjoy. Having viewed a number of nurseries, we were genuinely so impressed with the outdoor space and facilities she offers. She cooks home cooked meals for the children every day and takes them to different groups and activities, so they have lots to do and enjoy.
What we love most about Simeone is how much she cares. She treats all the children like her own and really does go above and beyond for them.
We honestly couldn’t recommend Simeone enough to any parent looking for a kind and trustworthy childminder. We’re so grateful for everything she does for our little girl and for us as a family.
We’re really happy with the care and support our son receives. Alex keeps him engaged in fun activities, takes him outdoors, and encourages him to socialise and communicate effectively. She also helps him develop good manners and positive behaviours, and we truly appreciate her dedication to his growth and development.
Deny is simply amazing, our son loves going to Deny’s house and always goes
comes out with a smile. Deny is very caring, fun, always takes the children out to various activities, places, walks and send menus updates and photos. Our son loves her animals too, we couldn’t be happier - we would highly recommend Deny for any childcare needs you may have!

Hoda is truly wonderful! She's kind, gentle, and highly intelligent and she brings so much care and patience to everything she does. Our son absolutely loves her and is always excited when she comes over. We feel completely at ease leaving him with her because she's trustworthy, attentive and reliable. We'll be asking for her help every chance we get. If you're looking for a babysitter you can count on, we can't recommend Hoda highly enough!

Where can I begin, I was so nervous leaving my daughter S at 1 years old to go back to work. This was my first time away from her. And Ranj has been so thoughtful, caring, gives such amazing updates. She really helped my daughter S become so confident, teaching her to share, to speak and get involved in activities!
I love the fact I can 100% trust Ranj with my toddler S, she leaps from me every morning without any issue. Ranj communicates so well and she really loves S so much! Her setting is super clean, so safe and she has always been so understanding & helpful especially when I’ve been sick or running late.
Honestly, one of the best childminders in Gravesend - and I was not worried at all, all her kids are so lovely & caring. Ranj does such amazing activities & my daughter really adores her. She has genuinely become part of the family!
I hate the fact we are leaving Ranj (due to moving out of the area) as my daughter really loves her setting, her children and the kids she looks after.
We provided my daughter S her own food and Ranj recommended so many things that help her eat better, drink more water etc. She also was so mindful of my daughter’s skin condition and was so caring about it.
I cannot fault Ranj - she is so wonderful with my daughter and treats her like her own… Genuinely sad leaving her.

I would highly recommend Nat as a childminder. She looked after my son for two years, and the only reason we moved on was for him to start preschool. He absolutely loved his time with Nat, and we were so happy with the care she provided. She really became part of our family, and I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a caring, loving and reliable childminder.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives from Nicky, Maria, Ethan and Clair! ❤️
Since starting in September, he has settled in amazingly well and absolutely loves going each day, which says everything about the wonderful environment they have created. From the daily trips and activities to the opportunities to play, explore and learn alongside other children, he is constantly developing new skills, building confidence and growing socially.
The genuine care and love they show him is so special. He is truly treated as one of their own, and it’s incredible how quickly they have got to know him inside and out, understanding his little personality, needs and quirks. As parents, knowing he is so happy, safe and loved while we are at work is priceless.
We also have to give them credit for keeping up with his appetite! 😂 He is an absolute foodie and certainly knows how to put away his food, so they deserve a medal for keeping up with him and making sure he’s always well fed! We love knowing he’s enjoying his meals just as much as he enjoys everything else in his day.
Communication is fantastic, with regular photos and updates that let us see what he has been getting up to and all the fun he has had throughout the day. It’s so reassuring to feel involved and know just how much thought goes into his days.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful team who genuinely care about the children they look after. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough to any parents looking for a nurturing, fun and loving environment for their little ones! 💛
I honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder for my son. She has been looking after him since he was a baby, and it’s been so special watching her help him grow into the little man he is today, full of personality and character.
She is absolutely brilliant at what she does, so creative and reliable, and always encourages outdoor play, exploring nature and learning new things. She makes sure the children have lots of exciting experiences, with plenty of outings to places like the dinosaur park, local parks, libraries and different events. There is always something new for them to explore, learn about and enjoy!
Receiving daily photos is such a lovely bonus, too. It means I get to see what my son has been up to during the day, see his little adventures and share in those special moments even when I’m at work.
As a mum, leaving your baby at such a young age to return to work can be really difficult, but she gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed to do that. Knowing my son was in such good hands made all the difference. She is always there to offer advice and support whenever I need it, and I genuinely value that.
To me, she is so much more than just my son’s childminder. I consider her a friend, and I’m so grateful to have her in both our lives. It takes a special person to care for your child, help them develop and watch them grow, and she really is one of those people.
We will genuinely miss her so much! ❤️ She has been such a special part of my son’s life and our journey as a family, and it’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for everything she has done for us.
I would recommend her a thousand times over to any parent looking for someone caring, trustworthy, creative and reliable to look after their little one. Thank you for everything you do for my son, for all the wonderful experiences you give him, and for the support and reassurance you’ve given me along the way.
We are so lucky to have had you as part of our lives. Thank you for helping my little boy grow, learn and make so many lovely memories. You will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will miss you dearly!
Your child will be very lucky if they get a space with Emma, from day one my little boy absolutely loved being with Emma at her home, she takes the children to lovely places and really treats them like her own. She teaches them lots of things, and really gives them her undivided attention. We couldn’t of asked anymore from a childminder and absolutely gutted Emma moved away from us
Eden Care was amazing with my son! She has such a kind and caring nature and interacted with him so well. She made him feel comfortable, safe, and at ease in her care. I’m truly grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone caring, patient, and trustworthy. ❤️
Nosheen is caring and kind, my daughter has been with her for 2 years now and we are very happy. She is always reliable, and communicates clearly with us parents. She is so loving and my daughter looks forward to going to her whenever the opportunity comes. I have peace of mind knowing that my daughter is with Nosheen. They do all sorts of fun crafts and drawing while they are together and also go on activities.
Row looked after our girls from aged 12 and 10 months respectively. Our eldest had struggled to settle at nursery
so we were looking for something smaller and more homely and it worked because she settled instantly on starting with Aunty Row. Row’s warmth and interest in the children in her care shines through and we will always be grateful to her for giving our girls such a safe and nurturing start. Both moved onto kindergarten before school and the kindergarten staff commented on how confident they were; which we credit in large part to their positive experience with Row.
Asma has been looking after my son for nearly two years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She is kind, caring, patient, and loving towards him. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that my son is in safe hands while I’m at work. She has become such an important part of his life, and I truly appreciate all the love, care, and attention she gives him. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder. I would highly recommend Asma to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their little ones. ❤️
Hollie and Mia looked after my little girl in their previous setting and I couldn't recommend them more highly. My little girl settled in very quickly with them and I always felt she was well-looked after, having a great relationship with Hollie, her keyworker. She absolutely thrived, leaving as a confident, clever and very sociable little girl!
My son has been attending Panda Cubs since the beginning of September. Being a first time mum I was very anxious when it came to returning to work and where I was going to send my little boy for childcare. We visited the setting earlier in the year and instantly felt the warmth and caring nature from both Clair and Nicky. My little boy loved his initial visit and his settling in sessions - he was confident and full of smiles and giggles.
Initially when my son started attending in September he didn’t settle straight away and I think this was down to him just missing me and the change in routine. However Clair, Nicky, Maria and Ethan were all amazing with my son, making accommodations and helping his transition the best they could and I couldn’t be more thankful. Clair would send me daily updates and keep me in the loop of how my son was doing. This was important to me and helped to ease my own anxiety.
Fast forward just under a month and my son had settled in beautifully! He is now always so excited to go to Panda Cubs and always turns up with a smile. Clair still sends me updates which I love and I also really like the variety of activities and experiences my son gets to be a part of when attending. Clair’s knowledge of the EYFS is very clear and when going through my son’s development with me this is done in both a professional and personable manner. The setting is like a home from home and is always very clean and beautiful toys and resources available for the children. The food provided is also exceptional, my son eats very well at Panda Cubs and enjoys the variety of meals he has.
My little boy’s development has come on so much since attending Panda Cubs and I honestly feel like he’s doing something new every day! I cannot thank Clair, Nicky, Maria and Ethan enough for the wonderful care they provide. It’s meant I have been able to return to work with less guilt and anxiety because I know he’s being so beautifully cared for and nurtured in his development. Panda Cubs really is an amazing childcare setting and we will definitely be using them for any future children too!

Our daughter spent 2 happy years being cared for by Mia and Hollie at a previous setting.
She loved going in and every day there was something different to play with and explore.
The girls are caring and fun. They are always up to speed on the latest training and advice and take their jobs very seriously to provide the perfect setting for little growing explorers.
They will always come up with new ways to cater for every child to meet their needs.
I will always treasure the time my daughter spent with them. She was very happy and safe and as parents that’s all you wish for.
I had Afshin over to help with my 3.5 year old and 8 month old for a few hours. I was not sure how things would go as my 8 month old has never spent any time with anyone other than me and her dad.
However I was surprised how quickly she settled with Afshin! Afshin was an absolute natural with my baby.
and my 3.5 year old was calling Afshin her "best friend forever" at the end which explains it all. Afshin was able to keep her busy and played with her at her level. Even though I was in the house, Afshin made sure I was not disturbed.
amazing experience and will definitely book again as needed.
thank u so much Afshin!
When I first started looking for a nursery for my daughter, who was just one year old at the time, I wanted to find a real home away from home—and that is exactly what I found with Akansha’s.
My daughter settled in so quickly, and it has been wonderful to see how caring and attentive Akansha and her helper Simran is. They give equal attention to all the children’s needs and are never forceful. Instead, they allow each child to be themselves, respond in their own time, and explore at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed.
My daughter is truly thriving in their care. The range of activities they plan keeps her engaged, helps her learn and develop new skills, and encourages her to interact and work alongside other children from such a young age. It has been lovely to see her confidence grow and her personality come through in such a warm and supportive environment.
I couldn’t be happier with the care and warmth they provide, and I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a nurturing and homely environment for their child.
