We were first introduced to Reena through our neighbor here in Great Park, whose child had been in her care. They couldn’t speak highly enough of her, and after meeting Reena ourselves, we immediately understood why. From the moment we walked in, her setting felt like a true home-from-home. There was an instant sense of warmth and ease, and we just knew our son would be happy there.
Since starting with Reena, we haven’t had a single moment of doubt. Our son settled in so quickly it felt less like a transition and more like he had simply found a second home.
Reena’s care goes far beyond the basics. She has been remarkably attentive and flexible with his dietary needs - he can be quite particular with food - and her patience and understanding have meant the world to us.
What’s been most beautiful to witness is the change in him. He absolutely adores his time with Reena, whether at home or out on activities. He was naturally quite shy before, but with her gentle encouragement he has truly come out of his shell. Seeing his confidence blossom has been one of the greatest gifts.
As a neurodiversity consultant with my husband working as a college lecturer, our schedules are demanding. For me personally, after years as a stay-at-home mum to my older children, returning from Dubai and rebuilding my business has been a huge transition. Knowing our son is not just looked after, but genuinely cherished by Reena, has given us complete peace of mind. It’s allowed me to focus on my work with confidence, knowing he is safe, happy, and thriving.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Reena. She is exceptional, and we recommend her with our whole hearts.
Maloryn lived with our family in Denmark as our au pair for a year and a half, and she truly became part of our family. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, reliable, and flexible person to help care for our three children. She built such a special relationship with each of them, always planning fun activities, cooking, baking, trips to museums, outdoor adventures, crafts, and games based on what they enjoyed. She also drove them to and from school every day and made every day feel exciting.
What impressed us most was how much she genuinely cared. Without us ever asking, she encouraged our children to eat a much healthier, more balanced diet, spend less time on screens, and rediscover how much fun it is to play, be creative, and enjoy the outdoors. It made a real difference to our family. She is kind, patient, trustworthy, and has a natural gift with children. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her in our lives, we really miss her and we recommend her wholeheartedly
Liz has been a wonderful help to our family. She started working with us when I was in my first trimester of pregnancy and had a lively toddler at home! She collected him from nursery, took him for a long walk or to the playground to tire him out, gave him dinner and a bath and did lots of playing and reading with him. She also did household chores such as clearing the table, emptying dishwasher, washing up etc. When my second was born she was a great help with both the baby and toddler. Helping to settle the baby whilst I spent time with my toddler and keeping our kitchen tidy in the postpartum madness! Liz is a kind and caring nanny who has many years of experience with different ages. My kids took an instant liking to her and were quickly settled and happy with her. I would highly recommend her and miss her a lot!

I was very nervous to leave her at the start, however they both made me feel at ease with their caring and loving personalities and regular updates throughout the day.
The setting is excellent and very inviting. They are always doing new, fun activities and my child is learning new things all the time. The variety of meals that are homemade and full of goodness are fantastic and my daughter never comes home hungry!
My daughter adores both Keely and Jamie and gets excited when we arrive at their address. I would highly recommend them to everybody!
Our daughter attended Miss Rashi's childcare setting from early March 2026 until July 2026, attending half days from Monday to Thursday, and we have been extremely happy with the care and support she received throughout that time. One of my biggest concerns as a mum was transitioning my daughter from having a 1:1 nanny at home into a more formal childcare environment. Like many parents, I had heard stories—even about highly sought-after nurseries—relating to security concerns, cleanliness, and other incidents that naturally make you question where your child will be safest and happiest. Those concerns led us to choose a childminder in a home setting before considering a larger nursery, and I can honestly say we have absolutely no regrets with that decision. From the very beginning, it felt like a close-knit family rather than simply a childcare setting, with a genuinely warm, gentle, and nurturing atmosphere that immediately put us at ease.
Communication was consistently proactive, responsive, and transparent, and any questions or concerns we raised were always acknowledged and addressed promptly. We especially appreciated the partnership they built with us as parents - not only keeping us informed about our daughter's progress, but also providing constructive feedback on her development and behaviour, which helped us support her learning at home. The setting offers a wonderful variety of planned activities, monthly learning themes that are shared with parents so learning can be reinforced at home, regular outdoor play in a lovely outdoor space, educational homework, field trips, and celebrations that make children feel special, including memorable birthday celebrations.
We also appreciated the healthy routines they encouraged, from singing songs and positive social interactions to developing good eating habits and offering nutritious meals, with weekly menus shared in advance and allergies carefully accommodated. The setting was always clean, organised, and felt incredibly safe, giving us complete peace of mind that our daughter was in caring and capable hands. Over the months she built beautiful relationships not only with Miss Rashi but with the whole team, and it was evident how much genuine affection and care they showed towards her.
We also valued how any concerns involving interactions with other children were taken seriously, monitored carefully, and regularly communicated back to us, reinforcing the feeling that parents and staff were working together as one team. Expectations around punctual drop-offs and pick-ups were clear and well managed, which contributed to a smooth and organised environment. The childcare was also one of the more affordable options in the area without compromising on quality, safety, or the standard of care. If there was one area we would suggest for further development, it would be providing even more dedicated age-specific learning, particularly around early reading and phonics, to ensure children in different age groups receive targeted educational support.
Our daughter is only leaving because our family is taking some time out to travel, and we fully intend to return when we are back, we won't be looking elsewhere. We have absolutely no regrets in choosing Miss Rashi's childcare and would confidently recommend this setting to any parent looking for a safe, loving, engaging, and supportive environment for their child, especially for families who may feel anxious about making the transition from home-based care into childcare for the first time.
Special mention - A heartfelt thank you to Miss Mihayla for her professionalism and dedication, Miss Manu for her warmth and comforting hugs that made our daughter feel so loved, and Miss Navi for always being so gentle, kind, and friendly. Together with Miss Rashi, they created a nurturing environment where our daughter felt safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every day.
We have had such a wonderful experience with Syeda, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Leaving your two-year-old with someone else is never easy, but Syeda has always made us feel completely at ease with the love, care, and attention she gives our daughter.
Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her and always comes home happy, clean, and well cared for. The meals Syeda prepares are fantastic—healthy, delicious, and incredibly varied. It's lovely knowing our daughter is enjoying such nutritious home-cooked food every day.
Syeda plans a wide range of fun and engaging activities, both indoors and in the garden, which have really helped our daughter's learning and confidence. Since being with her, we have seen such a positive difference in her development. She has become much more independent, happily dressing herself, putting on her own shoes, and following a good daily routine.
One thing I especially appreciate is the regular updates throughout the day. Syeda sends photos of the activities they're enjoying, along with updates on what our daughter has eaten and how long she has napped. It gives us such peace of mind knowing exactly how her day is going and seeing how happy she is.
What stands out most is how genuinely caring, patient, and dedicated Syeda is. She treats every child as an individual and creates such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where they can thrive. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such an amazing childminder and are so grateful for everything she has done for our daughter. I would recommend Syeda without hesitation to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
Thank you for everything
Love Elizabeth & Leon.

Outstanding Care, Love, and Support Every Day
We cannot recommend Victoria highly enough. From the moment Hakan joined her setting, she, Nigel, and the girls welcomed him with so much warmth, kindness, and genuine care that what could have been a big transition became completely seamless.
Moving from the care of his previous childminder was a significant change for our little boy, but Victoria & Nigel created such a loving and nurturing environment that he settled in almost immediately. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, safe, and genuinely loved, and that is exactly what Victoria provided every single day.
One of our favourite things has been hearing Hakan say all their names and seeing the excitement on his face every morning as we turn the corner towards their house. His enthusiasm speaks volumes about the relationships he has built with Victoria and her family and how much he enjoys spending time there.
The care, attention, and affection they have shown Hakan during these important early years have been truly special and have played a huge part in his development and confidence. As he starts his next chapter at nursery, we can only hope his experience there is even half as wonderful as the one he has had with Victoria and her family.
On a personal note, Victoria has also gone above and beyond for our family in countless ways, including helping us out during stressful moments when we needed it most. Her kindness and support have meant so much to us.
Thank you, Victoria, Nigel, and the girls, for everything you have done for Hakan and for our family. We will always be grateful for the love and care you've shown our little boy, and we are truly going to miss you all.
With heartfelt thanks,
Ahmad, Habiba, Jemimah & Hakan ❤️
If I could give Kimberly more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.
From the moment she became part of our family in May, she has been nothing short of amazing. We truly couldn't have asked for a better nanny. We've had wonderful nannies before, but Kimberly is someone very special, and we genuinely feel so lucky to have her in our lives.
She cares for our two children, aged six and one, with so much love, patience, and dedication. She has an incredible ability to adapt to each child's age and personality, always finding the perfect activities to keep them engaged, happy, and learning. It's clear that she doesn't just look after children—she truly cares about them.
The trust we have in Kimberly is complete. Knowing our children are with her gives us total peace of mind because we know they are safe, loved, and genuinely happy.
Our children absolutely adore her. Our oldest, Dennis, is always asking when she's coming next—even on days she's not scheduled to be here! Our little one lights up the moment he sees her and can't wait to run into her arms. Seeing the bond they have with her says everything.
Kimberly is kind, calm, thoughtful, and incredibly professional. She treats our children with so much warmth and respect, and we are endlessly grateful for everything she does.
We appreciate her more than words can express. She has become such an important part of our family's life, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a nanny they can trust completely. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Kimberly caring for their children.

From the moment I met Nat Nat, I knew my daughter, Margot, would flourish with her. She started just before her first birthday, and now she’s confidently preparing for school — something I’m still trying to emotionally catch up with. Nat has given her the most beautiful start to life, and we are endlessly grateful.
Nat’s home isn’t just a childcare setting; it’s a warm, welcoming bonus family. The bonds she encourages between the children are so special, and her own family plays a huge part in that. Shan Shan is adored by Margot, and Margot has perfected the art of “accidentally” helping herself to snacks from Dan and Lewis the moment they walk through the door. And then there’s Sonny Boy, the world’s softest, most patient dog, who has allowed Margot to love him so intensely and inspired Margot’s deep love of animals.
Nat fills every day with enriching experiences — music and movement clubs, visits to the pet shop (where Margot now thinks she’s qualified to advise staff), library story time, park adventures, and endless creativity at home. She adapts activities for every age and ability, celebrates every festival and special day, and somehow always has a themed craft ready to go. I’m convinced she has a secret cupboard labelled “Emergency Genius Ideas.” Nat will always keep us updated throughout the day with photos of all the adventures.
Margot recently wished on a flower that she could stay with Nat forever — and honestly, I understood the logic and feel it in my soul, Margot will miss Nat massively, she loves spending time in her care. But she’s ready for big school, and that’s because Nat has helped shape her into the kind, caring, confident little girl she is today. Nat has supported us as parents too, always offering reassurance and advice whenever I’ve had worries, and never once making me feel silly for asking.
We truly struck gold when we found Nat. Her warmth, her creativity, her humour, and the way she opens her home and heart to the children is something extraordinary. We will always be grateful for the incredible start she has given Margot.
If I could give a hundred star review I would, I can’t recommend her highly enough
Thank you for everything Nat
Much Love Becky.xx
Donna & Graeme are a fantastic team who provide a truly loving, family-feel childcare service. They looked after both of my daughters for 13 wonderful years, caring for them from the age of one all the way up to 11. They provide a superb service, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for outstanding care.
Our daughter has been attending the house setting at Cheeky Chops for 7 months and is excelling thanks to the staff and the activities they set up following EYFS framework. She settled really well and loves the company of her new friends and the grown ups, Rachel, Georgia, Chelsea, Lindsey, Kat, Sydney, Caitlyn, Jo, Moon, & Liz.
We were really impressed with the setting when we first visited and Linseys safeguarding and basic life support knowledge.
The team have catered really well for our daughters vegan diet.
We love receiving the updates and pictures throughout the day.
We are only leaving due to moving to a different county. Otherwise we would have loved to continue our daughter attending Cheeky Chops.
Having Christine care for our two children over the past 5 years has been amazing. She looked after our son first, and when our daughter came along, there was never any question about where she would go. Christine provides a warm, safe home-from-home environment. Every day is filled with a variety of play, crafting and outdoor fun, as well as trips to a playgroup and local softplays. Christine always makes the children lovely lunches and encourages them to try new food, and really helped the children become more independent with potty training.
My little girl will really miss going to Christine’s and we would so recommend her to any local families.
Hannah has been a lifesaver for me and my partner. We're so very grateful for her. It only took one week for our now two-year old son to settle in in her lovely home. He's always excited whenever we tell him he's going to Hannah's. She provides lots of different cool activities such as gardening, park visits, boogie mites and lots of outdoor walks and water activities. Today they watched aeroplanes flying at the air show. My son loved it!
Hannah sends photos throughout the day to update us. As a parent, I find it comforting to see photos of my son especially when I'm at a work. It's like a little treat!
In the past I've had reservations about using a childminder but Hannah made it so easy for me and my partner. She is warm and easy to talk to. We immediately felt comfortable the first time we met her. Her home felt safe and I knew then that my son would have a great time there. Hannah is very experienced and communicates well. I just couldn't recommend her enough. She's amazing!
Sophie and Pauline are amazing, my little one has been with her since 10 months and has done amazing and is so ready for school thanks to these 2, they've done amazing at every step and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of him over the last couple years. I love the home from home environment and he really does love them and everyone he attends with. It's so much more than just someone looking after your child, they really do put so much into the childs development and they keep everything interesting for the kids from weekly themed activities to nature outings. Truly 10/10 childcare.

We would highly recommend this setting to any parent. We are so grateful to everyone at 365 Childcare for the care, support, and encouragement they have given our son.
Thank you for helping our son develop his confidence with talking, becoming independent with going to the toilet, and encouraging him to enjoy healthy food. It has been wonderful to see how much he has grown during his time at the setting. We also really appreciate that he has been able to take part in the curriculum through a wide range of fun and engaging activities that have supported his learning and development.
A special thank you for always keeping us informed about our son’s progress and development. The communication has been excellent, and it has been reassuring to know how he is getting on each day. We truly appreciate the dedication and care shown by all of the staff, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our son.
Kaelee has looked after my one-year-old as a babysitter, and from the very beginning she made both of us feel completely at ease.
She has been an incredible help to me, especially when I’ve needed childcare at very short notice because of work commitments. Knowing I could call her and trust that my little one would be cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine affection has been such a relief.
If I had to describe her in one word, it would be reliable. She has never let me down and has always been there when I’ve needed her most. As a parent, that kind of dependability is priceless. I always knew my child was safe, happy, and genuinely cared for, which gave me complete peace of mind.
Kaelee is warm, caring, patient, and professional and definitely a ‘people’s person’. She keeps children engaged in age-appropriate activities, communicates well with parents, and it’s clear that caring for children is much more than just a job to her it’s something she truly loves.
The only reason I’ve given four stars instead of five for the setting is because, at the time my child was cared for, it was based in Kaelee’s home and the space was a little on the smaller side. However, it was always clean, safe, welcoming, and well organised, and my child was happy and comfortable there.
I understand that Kaelee has now moved into a new setting, which I’m sure will only enhance the wonderful service she already provides. Knowing the level of care, dedication, and professionalism she brings, I have no doubt that her new setting will be even better, and I’m confident it deserves nothing less than a five-star rating.
Overall, I honestly can’t fault Kaelee. She has been an amazing support to me and my family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, professional, and dependable to care for their little ones.
Lisa looked after my 4 year old son as I had been let down last minute with childcare.
Lisa was professional, very helpful and accommodating. I was extremely impressed with her setting, routines and true kindness shown to my son.
My son had a great time in Lisa’s care and I would highly recommend her!
I honestly can't recommend Keely and Jamie highly enough.
From the very beginning, they have both gone above and beyond to help my daughter settle in. Leaving your child with someone new is never easy, but they made us all feel so comfortable from day one. They took the time to really get to know her, understand her personality, and make her feel safe, happy, and loved. Seeing how excited she is to go each day says everything.
Their setting genuinely feels like an extension of our family. It's such a warm, caring, and welcoming environment, and you can see how much love and thought goes into everything they do. The values they teach and the way they care for the children really stands out, and it's clear that every child is treated as an individual.
Communication has been incredible too. We always know what she's been up to, how her day's gone, and we never have to worry because we know she's in the best hands. That level of reassurance means so much as a parent.
We're so grateful to have found Love2grow. We honestly couldn't imagine sending her anywhere else. Thank you both for everything ♡
My son has been with Angie since he was just one year old, and for the past three years she has been an incredibly important part of his life. From the very beginning, she welcomed us with open arms and has always treated us like family.
Angie provides such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment, and I have always felt completely confident leaving my son in her care. It is clear how much she genuinely cares for every child, and her kindness, patience, and dedication shine through in everything she does.
She plans a wonderful variety of fun, creative, and educational activities that have played a huge role in my son's learning and development. Thanks to Angie's care and guidance, my son has built a fantastic foundation for his education. I truly believe he couldn't have had a better start in life, and I know the skills, confidence, and love of learning she has given him will stay with him for years to come.
Angie has also helped him build confidence, make wonderful friendships, and reach important milestones. He always comes home happy, full of stories about his day, and proud to show us the beautiful crafts and activities he has taken part in.
Her communication has always been excellent, keeping us updated with photos and messages, which has given us real peace of mind throughout the years.
We are so grateful for the love, care, and support Angie has shown our family. She has truly become part of our family, and we couldn't have asked for a better childminder. I would highly recommend recommend Angie to anyone looking for someone who will care for their child as if they were her own. We will always be thankful for everything she has done for our son and for giving him the very best possible start in life.
