I cannot speak highly enough of Kofo and her incredible home nursery, First Path Nursery. She cared for my 1-year-old with such warmth, patience, and genuine love that it quickly felt like an extension of our own home. From the very first day, my little one settled in beautifully — a true testament to the safe, comforting, and homely environment Kofo has created.
What makes Kofo exceptional is her passion for supporting each child’s unique development. Her play-based approach is evident in the thoughtful, engaging activities she plans every day. My child came home happy, stimulated, and full of new discoveries — from sensory play to early communication skills. It’s clear that learning through play isn’t just an idea for Kofo; it’s something she implements with care and creativity.
Kofo also goes above and beyond to build strong partnerships with families. She kept me updated with daily notes, photos, and meaningful conversations about my child’s progress. I always felt completely reassured knowing my baby was not only safe, but genuinely valued and understood.
Finding someone you trust with your child is priceless, and Kofo truly provides the highest quality of care. She is warm, professional, attentive, and wholeheartedly committed to giving children the best possible start in life. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would recommend First Path Nursery to any parent without hesitation.
Kofo is simply amazing — a rare gem in childcare.
Our daughter was at Sally and Colin’s from 18 months until 4 years old. During that time, it was lovely seeing her develop and grow in the supportive and engaging environment. We all really valued the personal, friendly yet professional care she received there. The facilities met and surpassed our expectations for a childminder, in particular our daughter really valued the opportunity to spend lots of time outside (weather permitting), play with the very patient family cats, create frequent artwork and helping to grow and care for plants. The regular nature walks were often a highlight of her day too!
We cannot speak highly enough of Andrea and Rui, who provided exceptional care for both of our boys from the ages of ~9 months to ~3 years.
They have transformed their apartment into a truly magical space for children. It’s filled with toys, games, and learning materials that foster curiosity and creativity in the most nurturing way. Every corner is designed with the children’s development and happiness in mind, creating an environment where our boys were always excited to explore and learn. Their garden is a kid’s paradise, complete with a paddling pool in summer and fun obstacle courses that the boys adored. It’s evident that Andrea and Rui pour their hearts into creating a space where children can thrive, and our boys have loved every minute of it.
But beyond the wonderful physical environment, it’s their warmth and care that have made such a lasting impact on our boys. Andrea and Rui have taught them to be loving, kind, and caring, to share with others, and even helped them with potty training. They have been there every step of the way, guiding us with patience and wisdom as we navigated the ups and downs of parenthood, including providing us endless invaluable guidance when we were first-time parents.
We truly consider Andrea and Rui an extended part of our family, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Their dedication to nurturing our children and creating such a positive and loving environment has made an immeasurable difference in our lives. If you’re looking for childcare that goes above and beyond, look no further—they are absolutely the best!
I would recommend Gul without hesitation, she’s incredibly organised, a good cook and really imaginative with play set ups. My daughters took to her instantly.
I had Gul over twice to help with both childcare, cooking children a meal and help with tasks around the house. We’ve recently moved area and am very sad - plus my children disappointed - we couldn’t continue using her!
Lauren is truly amazing. She always sets up the best activities be it crafts, messy play or just imaginative play my son can’t wait to get involved. Having lots of experience in schools and nursery settings Lauren is great communicating with children and helping them to achieve their full potential
Amber has been a great babysitter for our kids, who now want us to go out every week if possible, so they can spend time with her! She is highly reliable, fun and calm. She creates a happy atmosphere every time she visits, which is appreciated because prior to this our kids would get upset if we tried to have a night out. Highly recommended!

Our two girls (1 & 3) have been with Katie since April 2025 and they have been loving every minute of it. They can't wait to go back in after each weekend knowing they'll have lots of fun and laughter. We as parents are very reassured by the bond both our girls have established with Katie. She created safe, warm and loving environment for our girls and we can't be grateful enough for that. Great communication we have with her is also very important to us. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Katie.

Fanni has been with our family for the past two years and we are devastated to be saying goodbye as we relocate to the USA for a job. She is the most loving, conscientious, proactive and creative childcare professional I can imagine. She has become part of our family in many ways, looking after our toddler and now our infant as well. Fanni is always coming up with adventures, constantly outdoors and taking our daughter to experience what London has to offer, teaching her key life skills, and never afraid to be silly! We love her very much and would be glad to speak to any family about our experience with her.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our child received from Tiney Stars. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease. She creates a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely loved. Our child comes home every day excited to tell us about the fun activities, crafts, and outdoor adventures they’ve had. We’ve seen such wonderful growth in confidence, social skills, and independence. We are so grateful to have found her and would recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
Sara has been looking after our three children (all under 6 at time of starting) for the last 6 months (a mix of wrap around/after school care and half days when pre-school is closed) and we've loved having her with us!
She is a kind-hearted individual and has always been ready to step in when we needed her. Sara is firm, but fair and radiates this calm demeanour (which I find incredibly with 3 energetic and sometimes sassy children), but which really helps when the children need to settle down ahead of bed time. She is creative and loves sharing this joy with the children through outings, singing in the car or before bedtime etc. On the few occasions one of us has made it home early, its been a joy hearing the children run, play and giggle with her.. Sara comes with an unparalleled amount of experience which was very apparent from the first moment we met her. Our children will (like any child) push the boundaries sometimes or turn off their listening ears, but Sara has seen it all before and is not phased... she remains calm, polite and will explain and educate the children why their behaviour is inappropriate. In summary, she is absolutely amazing and we are lucky to have found her!

Ana has been incredible with Aiko. She’s warm, caring, and genuinely brilliant with children. Communication is great, her home is clean and safe, and Aiko always comes home happy and well-looked after. I’m really grateful for her support — highly recommend.
In the past 12 months, both of my children have been in Annie’s care. She has helped them to grow and flourish into the amazing little people they are today.
One of my children still goes to Annie’s regularly and he is always so happy after a day of playing with his friends and exploring!
My other child often goes during half term still when Annie has space to fit her in!
They both adore Annie and she is so lovely and amazing with them!
The food she serves always sounds delicious, she tends to medical needs (my son has asthma) and is always so attentive.
I love receiving pictures and updates throughout the day.
Annie shows such kindness and care for the children which is just so sweet to see as it helps them to feel comfortable in her home and they love having cuddles when it suits them!
I cannot recommend Annie enough as she has been such an angel in accommodating our families needs and always giving as much notice as possible of any holidays or known closures
“I would rate this childminder very highly, as she is kind and supportive, consistently offering a wide range of engaging activities for the children. Her level of professionalism is excellent, and she creates a safe, nurturing environment where children thrive.
