My son had never attended a preschool or nursery so I was naturally apprehensive about him starting anywhere. Observing how warmly the staff interacted with children, honestly relieved my anxieties. Each staff member; Nihan, Dawn, Nuzhat, Leena, Pam and Sabrina are professional and kind to children and parents.
There are opportunities to review a child’s progress through a formal parent’s meeting and of course, their open-door and approachable culture.
Personally, i noted marked improvement with my son’s willingness to interact with others and social skills. He was able to describe the varied activities he undertook throughout the day and spoke fondly of the friendships he made.
The curriculum and correspondence from the playgroup is coherent and well structured. I felt the themes per term were appropriate and in line with my son’s interests and learning level.
Gants Hill Playgroup is a close knit and friendly environment where my son thrived. I look forward to send my next child to the nursery!
Kind regards,
Taby
I honestly don't know what we'd have done if we hadn't come across Kate at Sunshine and Rainbows. We feel completely at ease when our little girl is with Kate, we get regular updates throughout each day and on all photos she looks so happy and content. Kate takes the children on lovely days out and provides them with lots of new and exciting experiences! A particular highlight was the recent arrival of caterpillars and watching them safely grow into butterflies. We love the family feel of Sunshine and Rainbows and thank our lucky stars we found Kate!
Our twins have been with CC Childminding for two years now, and we couldn't be more grateful for the care, creativity, and dedication she brings every single day. From the age of two, they've thrived in her nurturing environment — learning their numbers, alphabet, days of the week, months of the year, and so much more. Their confidence has blossomed, and they’ve formed beautiful friendships through the engaging activities she thoughtfully plans.
She’s incredibly imaginative, always coming up with fun and educational experiences that make learning feel like play. Whether it's arts and crafts, storytelling, or outdoor adventures, she creates a safe space where our children are excited to grow and explore.
We trust her completely, and it's been a joy to watch our twins thrive under her care. We truly couldn’t ask for a better start to their early years. Highly recommended!
My daughter started with Parvish at the age of 2. Prior to starting here, she attended a different nursery and was just not settling and neither me as a mother was satisfied with her progress and how she was managing there. So I pulled her out of there and went on a search for a childminder and came across Parvish.
Once we started my daughters settle in days with her, we knew that this was the right place and choice for both us and our daughter.
Such an amazing childminder, always goes above and beyond for the kids and helps them in all aspects in their life. My daughter loved going and enjoyed her time there doing various different activities and learning techniques. And since being with Parrish, my daughter came on leaps and bounds.
We never had any issues and always felt comfortable knowing our daughter was well looked after at all times. I will for sure be using her again for my next child. Such a rare and precious find and we appreciate all that she has done for us and our daughter.
Seriously the best in the business!!
My daughter Rebecca started going to Evelyn when she was just 1 year and 6 months old. She is now 4 years old and still absolutely loves her! From the very beginning, Evelyn has been so kind, loving, and incredibly experienced. I trust her completely, and that means everything as a parent.
Rebecca always looked forward to the days she would spend there she couldn’t wait to go, play with her friends, and be with someone who made her feel safe and happy. Evelyn creates such a warm, caring environment, and I’m truly grateful for the way she supported Rebecca’s development and confidence.
I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely kind childminder.
I am beyond grateful to have Gifty and Gideon in my son's life. They are truly exceptional at what they do and care for my son so deeply, it often brings me to tears. Their communication is outstanding — I’m always kept well-informed about his daily activities, personal growth, and social development. They care for him as if he were their own, and he feels completely at home with them. I couldn't ask for better childminders. The best thing I did was log into this app, because without the support of Gifty's Childcare, I wouldn't of gone back to uni after pregnancy. I simply can't thank them enough.

Nahida has been an amazing and inspirational childminder for my son, he absolutely loves her and her experience and care for children really shows.
From the beginning I felt completely at ease with leaving my son in her care.
We will miss her a lot, she is so good at keeping me informed through the day and shares photos of my son which we really appreciate.
Nahida is very patient, and attentive. She provides a lovely nurturing and stimulating environment, my son especially enjoys the arts and crafts activities and it has been wonderful to see him progress and grow in confidence with so many activities.
I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and caring childminder.
Thank you Nahida!
Vicki and Eddie are amazing at what they do. My son has been going to them for a year and a half now and he has come on so much. He asks to go back once I pick him up and when he wakes up in the morning he is shouting “yay nursery”. Vicki and Eddie have a genuine love and care for the children in their setting and do so many activities with them. They are professional and always give a full break down of what the child did and how they behaved. I will forever be grateful for the love and care they give our boy and we can’t wait to see our baby girl grow and develop in their care.
Joshua loves going to “Beckie’s house!”.
I love the fact that he always comes home smiling.
As a first time childmind user I was really apprehensive about leaving Joshua, the hand over period was fantastic, better than I could have imagined and wished I had done it sooner. Becky regularly sends pictures and updates of how Josh was doing during the day. He settled really quickly in this setting which made me feel at ease from the start.
I noticed soon after starting with Becky his vocabulary increased and was coming home singing new songs. I have always being informed at the pick up of how the day has gone. she also informs me of local community activities and Joshua always has end of term goodies / activity pack, I think this is a nice touch.
Becky regularly takes the children to playgroup and the library. Joshua particularly likes the walks on the school run, the fresh air particularly helps with tire him out and get a good nights sleep.
My little one has had a few health issues, Rebecca has administered and document his medication meticulously. She has communicated with me more when he has been unwell, again this puts my mind at ease, allowing me to still go to work.
Could not have picked a better minder.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to follow up on any of the above.
From a very happy mommy 🤗
Both of my children had an excellent two years at Rudgwick Preschool. They were supportive, loving and always welcoming. All of the key workers have a consistent approach to helping each child grow, ensuring that they are more than ready for primary school when it’s time to move on. We’re sad that it’s our time to move on, but our children have had the very best start to their schooling, so thank you to the special team that work here!
We had a wonderful experience with Nandini. She was punctual, reliable, and immediately connected with my 5-year-old son. He had such a great time playing with her—she kept him engaged the entire time with fun, creative activities. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in caring and capable hands. Highly recommended!
Send me a really pushy message when I'm not looking for child care and it say that on my profile. Which she clearly didn't really.

Our daughter has been with Kids Club for the last four years having started at 10 months old. We chose the setting as it was small and seemed personal for such a young baby. We have been so impressed with the love and care she has been treated with by the team as well as how far her confidence and social skills have come over this time. She has made best friend with not only the other children but with the lovely ladies that have looked after her as one of their own. She'll be leaving nursery in September to start school as a bright and confident little girl having hit all of her educational and personal milestone and in her place our son will be starting at Kids Club at 9 months old. We couldn't imagine him going anywhere else after such a first class experience.

Louise is truly an extraordinary person and educator. Over the year and a half that my son was under her care, he not only learned so much but also had an incredible amount of fun thanks to her outstanding dedication, compassion, and skills.
When he first started with Louise, he was very shy, had limited verbal communication, and had recently been diagnosed with ASD. Through her patience, care, and intuitive understanding, Louise worked absolute miracles. She gently encouraged him out of his shell, and over time, he began to talk more, express his emotions more freely, and became noticeably calmer and more focused and follow routines and instructions.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to Louise for the love, affection, and unwavering support she gave my little one. She treated him as if he were one of her own family, and he truly loves her dearly.
Thank you, Louise, for everything you've done – we will always be thankful for the beautiful impact you've had on our lives.
I am very pleased with our nanny’s work. I asked her to help with my baby twice a week, and she has always been highly professional. She has never missed a single appointment and always keeps me informed. In addition to being reliable, she is friendly and warm, which makes a significant difference in our lives. I appreciate how she combines professionalism with kindness, making her not only a wonderful nanny but also a lovely presence in my baby's life. Plus, her adorable baby and mine have become good friends, which is a bonus!
Our two daughters have been cared for by Annie since they were both 6 months old and adore Annie, her helpers – Vicky and Amanda – and the best friends they’ve made over their time with her.
We love how they are constantly out and about exploring nature and experiencing new and exciting things. Annie’s dedication to child development and education is clear, and her passion for fostering independence, creativity and discovery is truly inspiring.
Annie keeps us well-informed about our girls’ daily activities and development. We have complete confidence that they feel safe and valued, and that they are having an amazing and enriching day while in Annie's care.
Kasha has looked after both of our children for two years; our daughter 3 days a week and our son for school drop offs and pick ups. Her setting is warm and caring, and she offers a wide range of varied and fun activities. I trust Kasha absolutely to look after my children well. They love going to her and the friends they have made in her setting. She is extremely flexible, puts up very patiently with my constantly changing plans, and provides lovely vegetarian food for my kids! I recommend Kasha (and her husband Gary who currently works alongside her) highly.
We have had the absolute pleasure of having Veronika care for our child, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. From the very beginning, Veronika has shown herself to be everything a parent could hope for in a nanny—responsible, reliable, warm, and incredibly good with children. She has a natural ability to connect with kids and make them feel safe, engaged, and truly cared for.
Veronika is not only experienced—she’s also a mom of two herself, and that depth of real-life parenting experience shines through in everything she does. She understands children on a very intuitive level, not just their routines and physical needs, but also their emotional well-being and little personality quirks. She pays close attention to the details that really matter—whether it's recognizing when a child needs a little extra comfort, gently guiding them through big feelings, or encouraging creative play that builds confidence and imagination.
What’s especially impressive is how thoughtful and proactive Veronika is. She doesn’t just "watch" children—she engages with them. She plans activities, creates a calm and nurturing environment, and always puts their safety and happiness first. I’ve seen my child thrive under her care, and knowing Veronika was with them gave me such peace of mind.
Beyond her professional qualities, Veronika is just a truly kind and lovely person. She's warm, respectful, and easy to be around. As a mom myself, I genuinely enjoy her company and feel like she really "gets it." She has become someone I completely trust—not only as a caregiver but as a person.
I wholeheartedly recommend Veronika to any family looking for exceptional childcare. She is dependable, loving, attentive, and deeply experienced. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your child with the same love and care she gives her own, Veronika is the nanny you’ve been hoping for. We are so grateful to have had her in our lives, and I know any family would be lucky to have her too.
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.
