Sophia and Bella looked after my baby from 10 months old, and I could not have asked for a more nurturing, trustworthy, and loving childcare experience. I knew from my very first visit that they were the right fit for us — the children were being held, hugged, and comforted. It was clear that emotional care and connection were at the heart of everything they do.
They provide amazing, nutritious homemade meals and keep the children active with regular walks and park outings, which my little one always enjoyed. Their environment is joyful, calm, and full of fun activities that are captured with regular photo updates.
Communication was always great, I always knew how my child’s day had been, what he ate, what he enjoyed, and anything important that happened. That level of openness gave me so much peace of mind.
I’m incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication Sophia and Bella showed. They have been a wonderful part of my child’s early life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

My son Theo has been with Shilpi for almost two years, and he absolutely loved going to her setting. From the beginning, Shilpi was incredibly understanding and supportive during the settling-in period. She often sent me updates throughout the day, especially when I was feeling worried, which gave me so much peace of mind.
Shilpi is very caring, and it’s clear that the children truly love her. She always does her best to work with parents, making sure both the child and the family feel happy and comfortable. We are very grateful for everything she has done for Theo.
Highly recommended

We worked with Elena for two years, from 2023 to 2025. She started as an occasional babysitter and soon became our full-time nanny. Our son adored her like a grandmother and truly enjoyed every moment they spent together.
They spent plenty of time outdoors, exploring different activities, and also did a lot of learning and creative play at home. Our son’s speech developed remarkably well during this time, and we believe Elena played an important role in that progress.
We would be delighted to see Elena again - our son keeps asking when she will come back.

We are so grateful for all the love, care, and guidance you both have given our daughter over the years. You’ve played such an important role in helping her grow, learn, and become the little person she is today, and we will always treasure the memories she’s made with you. We will miss you very much, and we know our daughter will carry so much of what she’s learned from you into this new chapter at school. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
Our experience with you as our daughters childminder has been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, you created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where our daughter felt completely comfortable and loved. Your patience, kindness, and thoughtful approach to childcare truly set you apart.
You always went above and beyond—planning engaging activities, encouraging her development, and keeping us updated with messages and photos that brightened our day. It has been so reassuring knowing she was in such caring hands.
We have seen our daughter grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity thanks to your support. You’ve helped shape her early years in such a positive and meaningful way, and for that, we are forever grateful.
We can’t recommend you highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have you.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Magda as my child's caregiver. From the very first day, she has provided a warm, nurturing environment where my child feels safe and loved. Magda is not only highly skilled in childcare but also genuinely cares about the children's development and well-being.
Every day, I am amazed at the creative and educational activities that she organizes. My child has learned so much and always comes home excited to share what they have done. Magda excels in communication, keeping me updated on my child's progress and any concerns that may arise.
I highly recommend Magda to any parent looking for a reliable and caring childminder. Knowing that my child is in such capable hands brings me peace of mind every day!

Nancy was so wonderful with my baby. He was happy in her setting and had significant improvement and leaps in development in just less than a week we started attending.
Nancy is so attentive to each childs' needs and I could completely trust her without worries knowing my baby was well cared for.
She is very good at communicating which I found very helpful and she gives detailled feedback of how my baby is doing all the time. She minds the children so carefully that i never had to worry about safety with her
Her home was always clean and everyone around was so kind to the children.
I will recommend her to all my friends. She is absolutely fabtastic and very passionate
My little girl has started within the setting nearly a year ago. I was very nervous at the beginning, when I knew I had to look for childcare as really struggled to find someone in my area with availability. I was so happy and really lucky to have found Elena, who my little girl loves going to since. My little girl is attending the setting 5 days a week, she is so well take care of in all aspects, she is provided with all meals and snacks whilst she is there and she absolutely loves it. She loves going in every morning and she is so excited to tell me all about her day on pick up. This has been such a relief and huge stress taken out of my shoulders, knowing she is so well take care pf and loved. I would highly recommend Elena as she has such a broad experience with children, such a calm and nurturing approach.
We have been absolutely delighted with Kitty’s care for our 3-year-old son. She not only takes wonderful care of him, but also thoughtfully suggests educational activities that perfectly match his interests and developmental stage. Her approach is grounded, warm, and incredibly reliable, which gives us complete peace of mind every time we leave him in her care.
She goes above and beyond without hesitation, and our son always looks forward to seeing her. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ailsa is a wonderful childminder.
My daughter Laura is always happy to go, and it’s clear she feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Ailsa creates a lovely atmosphere with plenty of fun activities and learning opportunities throughout the day. Her communication is great, and we always feel informed and reassured. We truly appreciate the kindness and reliability she shows — highly recommended!
My child started in October 2025, since starting she has already came along way even though it’s only been a short amount of time and is now really enjoying nursery even though she initially struggled with settling being away from us. Thanks to the lovely staff she has been well supported to settle in and it put my mind at ease knowing I could go back to work and she is safe and happy. She absolutely loves the range of different activities and toys available especially the garden which is lovely.
Definitely would recommend Tipton Toddlers.
We were so very happy to secure a place for our son Theodore with Wendy in February 2025 who was 10months old at the time. Wendy was really welcoming, inviting Theo for some settling in sessions from December 2024 so that he could familiarise himself with Wendy's setting and bond with her one on one. As first time parents we were naturally anxious about finding childcare for our son but Wendy immediately put our minds at ease.
Wendy is everything you could wish for in a childminder. She has a beautiful setting full of interesting toys, books, posters and activities for little ones of all ages, the garden is great with lots to keep them busy. Wendy is also perfectly located for local park/drop in centre excursions. She always plans a morning and afternoon activity and our son has loved being in her care.
More than anything, Wendy is an exceptional human being. She is so kind, patient, caring, considerate, nurturing, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her profession. She has given us as parents confidence as well as Theo, undoubtedly Wendy has contributed to him being such a clever, funny and kind little boy. Wendy has been an incredible support to our little family and a very helpful sounding board.
Wendy's communication is excellent, we have a WhatsApp group for Theo which is great for requests and sharing funny snippets during they day. Wendy's policies and procedures are also very clear, she is very forthcoming with these, there is no ambiguity. At the end of every day we have a full Tapestry report of Theo's day with lovely photos and plenty of information regarding his nap and meals/snacks.
We are very sad to be leaving Wendy, it's only because we are moving overseas that we have to say goodbye; we would have loved to have Wendy care for Theo for as long as possible.
There is nothing important to a parent , more than their children’s safeguarding and wellbeing. Nina has offered that to us. Although we used Nina’s services in around 2021,we think and talk about her till this very day and we are also in touch. Our child who is now 8 years old and been left with several childminders, speaks very highly of Nina. We just wanted to add our review to say to parents , Nina is the best childminder we have ever had . A big thanks to Nina 🙏🏼

Amy was fantastic with my two boys, her experience and childcaring ability was immediately clear to us. She had brought her own activities for the boys and they had a fab time in her care. I appreciated her professionalism, she brought lots of documents with her and had a form for me to complete as well with details about the boys (allergies etc.), and her communication in the lead up was top notch as well. I was nervous to leave the boys while we were away from home but as soon as Amy arrived my concerns flooded away and would unreservedly recommend her!

My son has been with Wissam from the age of 6 months to 2 years, and I could not have wished for a more loving, supportive, and fun environment for him to grow in. From the first meeting, her bubbly, warm and empathetic personality made me feel at ease, and it is clear how much she genuinely cares for every child who walks through her door.
I really feel that she is invested in his wellbeing and promoting his development. Wissam sets up a variety of stimulating activities and is clearly in tune with his changing interests and abilities. She gives a lot of 1 to 1 time with him on areas that he's needed support on. On top of that they go out everyday whether to the garden, park, playgroups, soft plays, etc.
Another highlight is the delicious, wholesome meals she makes which is a really important point for me. My child enjoys a variety of tastes and textures including different veg and protein and I definitely credit her with supporting that.
Each morning he hurries to Wissam's door, often slamming it in my face, showing me how much he enjoys his time with her! The bond they built is something I'll always feel grateful for.
We sadly need to move out of the area which is why we cannot continue with Wissam. I am incredibly thankful for the wonderful start she gave my child and the support and advice she's offered me as a first time mum. I've loved being able to share my child's journey developing into a happy, confident, and expressive boy with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Wissam to any parent seeking a truly exceptional childminder who feels more like family.

We've been so lucky to know Jill since 2022, when my daughter started with her at 3 years old. Since then Jill has been like family for my daughter.
Jill has a genuine love for all the children she cares for. She has an amazing warmth and energy that she brings to caring for the children. I kept my daughter with Jill the year before starting school, rather than opting for a nursery setting. Jill did an absolutely brilliant job preparing her for Reception - my daughter transitioned beautifully to school and was so much more confident going in than if I'd put her in a nursery. Jill provides a rich and varied learning experience, while expertly looking after the unique needs of each child. She provided amazing support when we working through health issues when my daughter was younger. Jill is honestly one in a million!!
Kiara has been babysitting our two children for the past couple of years and has also cared for them during the day on several occasions. We have always found her to be reliable, patient, kind, and completely trustworthy.
Our five-year-old daughter loves playing with Kiara, who has a wonderful imagination and knows exactly how to engage her. Kiara is equally great with our three-year-old son and easily keeps him happily occupied, even though his interests are very different from his sister’s.
Based on our experience, I believe Kiara would make an excellent part-time nanny and would offer the same level of care, creativity, and reliability in a nannying role.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives from Elena. He attends three days a week and she takes care of both the morning drop-off and afternoon collection from school, which has been an enormous help to our family.
She provides breakfast, snacks and dinner
which ensures he’s always well fed and looked after throughout the day. Our son happily attends and always comes home talking about the fun he’s had. He especially enjoys playing with the other children and it’s lovely to see how confident and settled he is in her setting.
We would highly recommend Elena to any family looking for a reliable, caring and supportive childminder.

Nadee has created a genuine home-away-from-home for our daughter. She communicates openly, builds real connections, and has formed a remarkable bond with our child. We trust her completely. Finding her when I returned to work was a turning point for our family, and we’ve never looked back. After a year and a half in her care, we still feel incredibly fortunate to have her in our daughter’s life.
