I highly recommend our babysitter Amy. From the very first time we met, she came across as warm, and genuinely caring.
Leaving your children with someone is a huge decision, but Amy made the whole experience feel stress-free with her bright personality and structured approach of organising activities as per my son's preferences. She was incredibly patient and attentive, and always prioritised his safety, happiness and wellbeing. She went above and beyond what I expected and treated my son with much kindness and care.
Amy is extremely professional, punctual and dependable. She communicated brilliantly with us and kept us updated when needed. Plus she is also an amazing cook, so when I went to office I knew my son was well fed and taken care of.
It’s very rare to find someone who gives you that instant feeling of reassurance, but Amy did exactly that. My son was happy, comfortable and always excited to see her again.
If you’re looking for a babysitter who is trustworthy, caring and responsible, I would highly recommend Amy. She is fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her take care of our son again.

I started putting my daughter to Shwe back in May 2026 (when she turned 1 year old and I returned to work). My partner and I had looked at various nurseries before considering a childminder. Shwe came up as being fairly close to our new house and so we arranged a visit and settling in session. As I’m sure every parent feels, you really want to make the best decision for your child when they go into childcare and it can be a daunting task finding the right place.
Since meeting Shwe, it was very apparent that she had such a warm, kind and caring nature and I felt so at ease leaving my daughter with her. She hasn’t cried once when I’ve left her with Shwe over the past 3 months, and every time I pick her up she is smiling and so content and happy. Not only that, Shwe has never made me feel like any of my requests or needs are too much or not important e.g. sending approximate nap times for each day and dietary preferences - she is so accommodating and understanding and you can see just how much she wants the children to be happy and at ease in her care. I am so grateful and lucky to have found Shwe for my daughter and I can go to work each day knowing that she is happy and comfortable in her care. Shwe is also very good at giving updates throughout the day, including all meals/snacks eaten and naps taken, which makes such a difference when you’re spending long days away from your child for the first time! Shwe’s home is an ideal setting with plenty of space to play, lots of toys and a large garden for outdoor play too. It’s a stimulating, interactive and safe environment. My daughter’s eyes and smile light up when Shwe answers the door in the morning and I think that says it all!

I was so anxious about leaving my little ones with a babysitter, but she made me feel completely at ease from the start. She was absolutely amazing with my children and I came home feeling so reassured and happy. I honestly wouldn’t want to leave them with anyone else now! Highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, caring and reliable.
I’ve hired Robinah three times for my daughters (4 and 5), and she has been reliable and kind. She met us in advance, sent updates when she collected them from school and once they were home, and replies quickly to any texts. She handled dinner, showers, bedtime, and story time without any issues. The girls seemed at ease with her, and we’ve already agreed on more dates. I’d happily recommend her to other parents.
A lovely, kind and patient childminder who is responsible, caring and very understanding of the children’s individual needs. She provides a warm, homely environment where the children feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. We’ve been very happy with the care she provides and would definitely recommend her.
I’m very happy with the childcare provided! There is a wonderful approach to children, with lots of fun activities and games, so there’s never a dull moment. The communication with parents is also excellent, friendly and reliable. I would definitely recommend!
Cinaidah worked as a nanny for us for just over a year. She looked after our 1 year old for two days a week. She is the most wonderful person, warm, friendly, easy going. Our little one adores her. They had so much fun, playing in the park, going to music classes & play groups, chatting & singing together. She was a pleasure to have around the house, we all feel comfortable with her. She is also very hard working. When my little one was napping, she worked hard cleaning kitchen, tidying up, doing laundry. She uses her initiative seeing what needs to be done, and is open to helping with any tasks. My little one has started nursery and we no longer need a nanny. We are sad not to see Cinaidah each week. Whoever she works for next will be very lucky - She is passionate and engaged in her work with babies and toddlers. A very special person.
Anthonia has been a great addition to my kids routine.
Helping with picking up my kids and dropping them off.
She is really easy to work with and thorough in running her business
My children have been with Adenike since 2024, they have flourished under her care, enjoying days out as well as home learning activities. Having daily updates on the app have really made me feel a part of the journey. Adenike has shown true passion in her work, she is attentive, caring and understanding of the children's individual needs. My children truly love her and have enjoyed their time with her.
Adenike goes above and beyond to support our family and has been flexible when needed. We are truly grateful for her services and genuine love and care towards the children. My children have been well taken care of and well prepared for school. They have enjoyed various activities and a variety of healthy meals. I would recommend Adenike to everyone wanting their child to be in a loving and nurturing environment.
Sharon is so warm, welcoming and genuine. Our little boy was with Sharon for a year and had such a wonderful time - we feel very lucky that we found her!
He felt at home immediately and made lovely friendships and bonds with other children there. Sharon is incredibly kind, understanding and caring whilst also maintaining boundaries which are respected by the children. Her setting is homely, nurturing but also stimulating. Our little boy loves Sharon and thoroughly enjoyed his time with her - we only left due to him starting school and were very sad to have had to leave! We’re incredibly grateful for Sharon’s care and highly recommend her!!

Both of our children went to Aarthi and we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. From day one, Aarthi has been wonderful, caring, and warm with our little one — always affectionate and attentive, making sure our child feels safe, happy, and loved. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and that gives us real peace of mind as parents. We’re so grateful to have her. And the kids lover her!!
We are a neurodivergent family, I have 4 children with high needs including a 1 year old with poor mobility. Upon meeting Rachel for the first time, I knew she would be a great fit for our family. She has extensive knowledge and experience of neurodivergence, she’s non-judgemental, understanding, genuinely cares about the children and families she works for and it shows in how much my kids and myself adore her! She is an absolute godsend for me as my only respite and I would highly recommend her. I know my children are safe, well cared for and have had a good time in my absence and I couldn’t thank her enough 😊
I cannot recommend Adriana highly enough as a childminder. From day one, her professionalism, warmth, and nurturing approach gave our family complete peace of mind whenever our children were in her care. She looks after the children with genuine love and dedication, making them feel completely secure and well cared for.
We plan to continue using her services long-term and wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and top-tier childminder. Thank you, Adriana, for everything you do for our family!
We are so grateful for everything Lana has done for our daughter Emily.
From the very beginning, Emily’s transition was smooth and positive, and Lana played a big part in making her feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Seeing Emily come home smiling every day and often asking to stay longer gave us complete confidence that she was in the best hands.
Lana always planned fun activities and supported Emily through every stage of her development with patience and care. We especially appreciated how she respected Emily’s personality and encouraged her growth at her own pace.
Lana was also incredibly helpful and flexible, always doing her best to accommodate our schedule whenever we needed changes.
We highly recommend Lana to any family. She has made a real difference in Emily’s life, and we know she will be greatly missed.
Although our son wasn't at Rohini's setting for long, Rohini was absolutely lovely. She is kind, caring, accomodating, empathetic and child focused. She was extremely organised when it came to monitoring my son's preferences and routine and she had a good variety of activities for him to engage with. By far one of the loveliest childminders I've met and a real 'home from home' setting.
A huge thank you to Nina and the whole team for the care they have provided for our twins over the past 2 years. If it wasn’t for the convenience of sending all of our children to the same setting, they would still be there. The twins bounced into Nina’s each morning with a quick goodbye to us, and loved telling us about what they had done and who they had played with when they came home. They have both grown so much over the time they have spent with Nina and the team- they are both full of confidence now and have come on leaps and bounds with their communication and interaction skills. It was also lovely to see the relationships they had both built with each member of staff when we dropped off and picked up too.
I can’t thank Nina and the team enough for how they have cared for our children- thank you!
We chose Jan because she is a Godsend. I visited so many home from home environments and loved meeting Jan because she gave us so much time to get to know one another and work out if it was the right place for our son.
Her communication and understanding makes life easy. Not only do I trust her entirely but she is completely invested in every child in her care. They’re all so happy there. She cooks home-made meals, visits various local play groups, the playground and instils a sense of independence in all the children.
Jan is very well known in the area for her wealth of experience and has helped to look after our son in the way I want to bring him up. I regularly ask her advice on all and sundry and she’s been incredibly kind to our family at every stage. I really couldn’t recommend her more and it’s a joy to see our son grow in her care.
When I was looking for childcare, I found Ali through this website. My original plan had been to send my son to a nursery, but after meeting Ali, I felt that a smaller, more nurturing home environment would be a much better fit for him (and me as I did not want to go back to work!). It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
My son started with Ali when he had just after turning one and will be leaving just before his fifth birthday to start primary school in September. He has loved every moment of his time there, and I couldn't have asked for a better start to his early years.
Ali has created such a warm, caring, and stimulating environment. My son has loved the variety of activities they do, from crafts and play at home to trips to the local playgroup, soft play, the park, and lots of time spent outdoors exploring and having fun. Every day has been filled with opportunities to learn, play, and make wonderful memories.
One thing I've always appreciated is how supportive Ali has been of my parenting. She has always listened to my preferences especially around sleep and food, respected the routines that were important to us. As a parent, that support and consistency has meant so much.
Ali has cared for my son with genuine kindness, patience, and affection, and she has played such an important role in helping him grow into the happy, confident little boy he is today. Knowing he was somewhere he felt safe, loved, and excited to go every day gave me complete peace of mind.
As he gets ready to start primary school, we will both miss Ali and her whole family so much. They have been such an important part of our lives over the last four years!!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Ali to any parent looking for a caring, experienced, and truly exceptional childminder.
Francesca has taken care of our daughter Alix between 12 and 21 months old, for short evening baby sitting sessions or full day. Every time our daughter loved playing with Francesca and the contact was easy and natural when she arrived home. Thank you!
