Exceptional investment from these ladies for the little minds of our future, they stop at nothing to make sure each child gets a unique learning program to develop.
My child is sen and the commitment and support they offer me and my family is unconditional.
They safeguard my child at all costs and are open and transparent with me with all learning and care provided. After a poor experience elsewhere Gem and her team really supported us every step of the way, Gem ensures that is and parents are also supported and well and our babies and for that I’m truly grateful.
Anyone who has a bad word against these girls either don’t want to pay their bill or are jealous of the heart and soul this setting provides!
Keep doing what you’re doing!!
We had the pleasure of having Lisa care for our son a few times, and from the very first meeting, she created a truly special bond with him — something quite rare as he’s usually cautious around new people. Her warm, intuitive approach put him immediately at ease.
She goes above and beyond in her role, not only providing exceptional care but also supporting us as a family — helping with household tasks while our son sleeps, always proactively and thoughtfully. Her ability to keep him engaged and happy throughout the day, and even settle him to sleep with ease, is remarkable given how challenging that can usually be.
What stands out most is the genuine affection she shows. It's clear she has a real passion for working with children, and it shines through in everything she does. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her support, and we can’t recommend her highly enough.
Since my daughter started with Jana at 18months old (she is now 5) Jana has been so great with her treat her like her own child. Taking her out to different soft plays, play groups, going to ferry meadows and many different parks. As well as doing arts and crafts and baking at her home. Jana is a lovely, friendly and caring lady and I want to truly thank her for everything she has done for my daughter. Although she is not with Jana full time she still drops and picks her up from school. I would highly recommend and truly thankful for everything.
My little one has been with Rabia for over 1 year now and Rabia has been brilliant. She is caring and attentive to the children, takes them out daily and ensures they get plenty of outdoor time. She is very flexible and always goes above and beyond to try and accommodate with any needs.
I was very anxious leaving my then 2 yr old who was extremely fussy and clingy, but Rabia made this experience stress free for me and I wouldn’t hesitate using or recommending her again.
I met Shara 6 months ago. She's very nice to my daughter, and she's always punctual. She never let me down when I needed her, even when I called her a few times at the last moment. I recommend Shara for babysitting your children; you will be content with her work with them.
We have been using Rabia since end of last year 2024. I admit I was apprehensive at first due to my child never having been in any childminder setting before this. Needless to say, Rabia understood all our concerns straight away, she accommodated to all our needs and makes sure to give regular updates throughout the day. She looks after my child and the other children with care and compassion. My
Child is due to finish in the summer and I will be using her for my next child when the time comes as she is so great at her job. She is so kind and caring, always smiling happy and really puts the care of the children at the forefront of everything she does. She makes sure they regularly have time outside to play and stay active which is so important for young children. She ensures hygiene and healthy meals are a priority which was extremely important to me. Rabia is brilliant and her experience and expertise shows in how well the children in her care thrive.

Can’t stress enough safe your children would be in this setting. Claire and the team go out of their way for every child. They all have the patience of saints!
My 8 year old goes after school and in the holidays and most times asks to stay longer ha!
We really do love Claire and paolo to bits. They’re like family.
Nothing is ever too much, my child has an allergy and if Claire is unsure she always asks before giving. We’ve never had any accidents!
They are amazing!
Uzma is a fantastic caring childminder have ever met, I met her here about 2years ago and my son have been with her over a year now and my son still with her until date, I have no reason to take my child because she's a very good teacher she doesn't just keep them but teach them also, my son learned a lot from her, and my son always look forward on seeing her, and when ever I pick up my son he always cry because he want to spend more time with her, she told me to stop bringing fruit for my son because she always gives them fresh fruit from her own cost and she take cares of my son and my friend daughter like hers, I always told her you are not just a childminder to my son Uzma you are more than just a childminder to my son and as I always say am very lucky to have you in my son life.
I will recommend you to any parent who needs a good caring God fearing person kind person that looks beyond money but put in all to help children in her care.
Am here on behalf of my self and family to say a big thank you to you for loving and caring for our son God bless you Uzma.

Kerri has looked after Georgia from aged 14 months, she’s now 4.5 and ready for school in September! I know Georgia will really miss her days at Kerri’s house. All the trips to the zoo, forest school, visiting their grandfriends, meeting up with other childminders, soft play and library trips! Georgia has had endless fun and has grown to be such a confident girl who I know will thrive at school. I’m so happy she will continue to see Kerri before and after school ♥️ I’d recommend this setting to anyone. I love receiving updates and photos and all the extra thoughtful touches Kerri adds. It really is a home from home and Georgia is so fond of all the family (dogs too!). Kerri has such a strong background in Early Years and this shows!
Thank you for everything ♥️
Our daughter has been going to Lucie after school for 9 months and loves it. Our daughter is not the most outgoing but she has made a great bond with Lucie and several the other kids she looks after. We really appreciate how much time they spend playing outdoors, and have really noticed improvements in things such has her climbing ability. Lucie is such a warm and engaging person, it is easy to see why our daughter loves spending time her.
Rita babysat for our 2 yo while we were at a nearby wedding. I was anxious because our little one hadn't yet fallen asleep in his cot by the time we left. Rita clearly has lots of experience with kids, and she went in and calmed him down so well that he went straight off to sleep. She is a lovely person and I'd recommended her to anyone else needing help with their kids!

We couldn't be happier with Reena as our son's childminder. From the very beginning, she created such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that he instantly felt at home. He absolutely loves going to her – he runs to her door in the morning with the biggest smile, which speaks volumes about how happy and comfortable he is in her care.
Reena is incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. She always keeps us updated with regular photos and messages about his day, which we really appreciate. It’s so reassuring to see him happy, engaged, and having fun – it gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands.
We feel very lucky to have found her and are so grateful for the love and care she gives every day.
Thank you, Reena, for everything you do!

My wife and I have a 5 week old baby boy who we had been struggling to settle and put to bed in the evening. We reached out to Brenda, due to her excellent reviews, who was very communicative and was able to help us at short notice. In one night, Brenda taught us several techniques to calm and settle our baby. On the night she was here, he slept the longest he had slept and was the quietest he had been! We have since put those techniques into practice and his sleep (and ours!) have certainly improved. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Brenda again to help us down the line.
Lalasa has looked after our 3 children and has been just wonderful!
She has been an exceptional nanny to our children aged 1, 6, and 9. She joined our family when I returned to work after maternity leave and her presence ensured a smooth transition for all of us. Lalasa has a warm and calm temperament and is greatly loved by all of our children. She is proactive and consistently plans creative, stimulating and age-appropriate activities. We have really appreciated her focus on craft activities, games and outdoor play to keep the children entertained. Lalasa always ensures the children have healthy meals and snacks. Her expertise was particularly valuable during the baby weaning process, as she prepared suitable meals for our 9 month old and introduced him to new foods showing patience and care.
In addition to her exceptional care giving skills, Lalasa's warm and calm temperament, excellent punctuality and reliability make her an exceptional candidate in our opinion. We recommend her unreservedly.
Absolutely thankful for Abbie who showed up last minute to save the night, been let down last minute by a different person and Abbie was ready to help us promptly, she engaged with the children straight away and brought same art and craft over to use with them.
Highly recommend, lovely amazing service from an also very lovely and trustworthy person, who with no doubt I will ask to look after my children when I’ll need again.
Thank you again Abbie for being fantastic
Marcia has frequently been used for babysitting of our 3 kids aged 12, 7 and 3. She is a big hit with all of them and definitely the preferred babysitting option from all of our kids perspectives. Marcia will engage them in creative play and challenge them positively in all the conversations she has with them. We never feel guilty going out and leaving the kids - we know they will have great time! As well as evenings Marcia has also looked after our kids during the daytimes, she will always plan interesting activities taking them out for forest walks and museum visits etc depending on the weather. She ain't no sit around sitter!!

PLEASE PLEASE KEEP AWAY!
I would give zero stars if I could
All the authorities have been informed
Very dodgy , have no mental capacity to have children in her child or her “co minder”
I took my daughter for a viewing
Never was told it was at the co minders address , said she was having her house re wired but when I turned up for the viewing said she had to pull out the house 😂 makes no sense .
At the co minder address they had a dog that they kept forcing on my daughter when you could see the dog getting very unhappy
The dog turned round and attacked my daughter .
The house was absolutely disgusting, Eve and her co minder “ang” or what ever her name is barely spoke about anything regarding care
No toys that I could see
Had my daughter on the edge of the sofa while Eve held her up from her foot
Honestly you couldn’t make up this
So many red flags
As soon as I walked in I wanted to walk out but I’m not rude and thought I would see what they had to say , with me doing that my daughter got hurt .
All the stuff on this site doesn’t add up
I don’t believe for a second they have any qualifications in childcare or anything for that matter but that is just my opinion and my judgment.
I will not stop until theses people get taken down .
Soooo please keep your children away .
My heart is broken and my trust for anyone

My daughter has been going to Katie’s since she is 10 months old (she is now 3) and we couldn’t have picked a better childminder for her. Katie takes the children outside whenever possible and engages them in creative play. She is extremely accommodating and shares regular updates throughout the day. We will miss her dearly when we will leave her this summer!!!
