Mercedes is an amazing babysitter she reply’s really fast to messages and is easy to message when she arrived one of my sons where still awake and he smiled and took to her instantly she didn’t hold back and interacted with him straight away she kept us updated through the night and think we have found our regular go to babysitter she is fantastic
Leanne is an absolutely amazing childminder and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Our toddler attends her setting 4 days a week and he adores her! He has come on leaps and bounds since starting with Leanne, and quite literally runs to her house shouting her name in excitement!
Leanne is extremely friendly, caring and trustworthy. We get daily feedback on our child via the app, with extra photos, videos and messages showing just how much fun our son is having!
We have found Leanne to be extremely reliable, and she’s brilliant at listening to our needs, and offering support and advice when needed.
Our toddler goes out every day with Leanne, something which is really important to us as parents. They visit farms, the library, soft play, local baby groups, and lots of other places! My husband and I joke that he has a better social life than us!
We couldn’t be happier with the service provided and genuinely feel that we’ve struck gold. Thank you Leanne for everything that you do!
Beth has been the most wonderful childminder to my two children for over 3 years. The perfect home from home, extended family feel that both my children adore. They are always happy running in and full of smiles at collection. The care Beth takes for each child is second to none. From wonderful educational activities, open ended play, art & crafts to adventures at parks and out and about. Our family could not recommend Beth highly enough.
My son has been with Caron and her team for about a year now and we couldn’t be happier. We didn’t originally choose a childminder but now can’t believe we hadn’t explored it earlier, especially because we hit the jackpot with Caron. He has learnt so much in the last year, has developed in so many ways and he continues to surprise us daily with new words or actions.
Caron has such a good schedule which is educational, fun and you can see how much the children love spending time with her as much as she loves her job. She has endless energy, patience and I’ve never met a more organised person. We are kept fully up to date throughout the day and she communicates everything needed to make sure you are comfortable.
Super super happy we found her and excited for our second to join her and the adventures :)

We are very lucky to live close to Saskia,and when we found out she is a childminder and a babysitter, couldn't be happier. We can always count on her when we need help with our two young children,and she provides the best care every single time. Saskia is very creative with the kids,and after she leaves,they start asking,when is the next time they can have a "playdate" with her. I also see her with the children she minds in the parks and at playgroups,and can admit she is very involved and all her attention is on the children.
Sandra has been tutoring our daughter for GCSE French and the progress has been remarkable. She has a real talent for explaining grammar clearly while keeping lessons engaging and encouraging. Our daughter’s confidence in speaking has improved significantly and she now approaches exams much more calmly. Sandra is always well prepared and adapts the lessons to exactly what the student needs. We are extremely grateful for her support and would highly recommend her.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an exceptional childminder. From the very beginning, it was clear how much care, dedication, and genuine love goes into looking after the children. The environment is warm, safe, and welcoming, and our child settled in quickly and always comes home happy.
What truly stood out is the level of attention given to each child’s development and wellbeing. There are always engaging activities, opportunities to learn, and plenty of outdoor play, all while making the children feel comfortable and supported. Communication is also excellent — we’re always kept informed about how the day went, which gives us real peace of mind.
We would highly recommend this childminder to any parent looking for a nurturing, reliable, and truly wonderful place for their child.
Bev is truly the best!
I can’t thank Annette enough for everything she’s done for my baby boy. She has such a lovely way of making him feel special and the bond they’ve built is just so sweet to see. It’s so clear that she genuinely loves what she does. She creates a happy, nurturing space where he can just be himself.
Her communication is brilliant! She always keeps me updated on what he’s getting up to throughout the day which is so reassuring. Plus, her play area is the best honestly, it’s such a great set up for kids. Finding a childminder you truly trust isn’t easy and we feel so lucky to have found her!
We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives at Dougans Den. Michelle and Laura provide such a stimulating environment; our daughter is always full of smiles and comes home having clearly had the best time. They do so many great activities—lots of outdoor play, creative crafts, and fun den building. As a parent who was initially anxious about childcare, seeing how much she has flourished and how happy she is to arrive each morning has been wonderful. Highly professional and genuinely caring!
My daughter has been with Caron for just over a year now and I honestly can’t fault the care she receives, from the amazing outings and day trips, to the home cooked meals given, Caron and her family are always so friendly and welcoming.
My daughter absolutely loves her time with Caron, Andy and Caz, as well as the other children she’s made friendships with there. You can really see how much time and effort goes into looking after every child. I’m so grateful for everything they do – thank you ❤️

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Caron. Our son has been with her since November and the difference in him in just a few months has been amazing to see.
She puts so much thought and care into everything she does with the children. They are always out and about exploring, with trips to the park, playgroups and little adventures, and it is clear how much effort she puts into making each day engaging and stimulating for them.
His development has come on so much during this time. His speech has really improved, his confidence has grown, and he clearly has the best time with her.
Caron is also incredibly thoughtful about the children’s nutrition. The meals are always really healthy and balanced, with lots of variety, fruit and vegetables, and different foods for them to try. It is clear she puts real care into making sure they are eating well.
Most of all, it is so reassuring to know he is somewhere he feels safe, happy and genuinely cared for. As parents that means everything, and we are so grateful that we found her.

Sandra has been an exceptional French tutor. She is incredibly patient, encouraging and explains things in a way that makes complex grammar much easier to understand. Our child quickly gained confidence and actually started enjoying French again after just a few lessons. Sandra’s lessons are always well prepared, engaging and adapted to the student’s level and goals. We’ve seen a clear improvement in both speaking and written work, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring language teacher.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Beena highly enough. She is absolutely amazing and has been such a positive influence in my son’s life. Even at his young age of just one, she has taught him so much and supported his development in ways that really show how experienced and caring she is.
My son absolutely adores Beena. He is always so happy to see her, which as a parent means everything. He especially loves the delicious home-cooked meals she prepares, and her home has such a warm, nurturing, motherly atmosphere that truly makes it feel like a home away from home.
As a mother, trusting someone with your child is a huge step, and I was initially very nervous about putting my son into childcare. However, from the very beginning Beena completely put my mind at ease. She is attentive, caring, and clearly genuinely loves what she does.
Not only do I trust Beena completely with my son, but both his father and his grandma think she is wonderful too. We are all so grateful to have found her and truly couldn’t ask for a better childminder.
I would recommend Beena to absolutely anyone looking for a safe, loving and supportive environment for their child.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had Suzi as my sons carer She is truly wonderful—kind, patient, and completely dedicated to the children in her care. Suzi creates a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy.
She is naturally attentive and always tuned in to the children’s needs, encouraging their development while making every day fun and engaging. Her calm and caring nature means the children absolutely adore her, and as I always felt confident and reassured knowing my son was in such capable hands.
Suzi is reliable, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond in everything she does. She brings such positivity and warmth into a home, and any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. We cannot recommend her highly enough and we were lucky enough to have her help for over 5 years
Our son has been with Carrie since he was 7 months old and is now almost 2. He's excited to see her in the morning and comes home in a great mood. Carrie provides a home away from home and clearly puts so much thought and care into her space and the days that she plans for the children. She is always taking them to fun and engaging places nearby when the weather allows, or does arts and crafts when stuck indoors which means we have lots of lovely keepsakes that are brought home. I feel my son's development was helped a lot through his time with her and the support he receives, being encouraged to learn new skills by Carrie. I always look forward to the pictures at the end of the day to see what they've been up to. Carrie has also been a great support to us as first time parents, providing advice when we've needed as she has multiple years of experience with children.

Rifka has been an absolute godsend for us and now truly see her as family! Our son has medical issues which Rifka and her team have been wonderful about. He went there refusing to eat, anxious and clingy to mummy and very quickly ran in loving his time there and eating more than we’ve even known. He’s a big fan of Rifka’s beautiful food and it’s amazing getting new flavours into him. I couldn’t recommend Rifka more, she’s the best childminder in my opinion!
I cannot recommend Marie highly enough. She has been an incredible part of my son’s life from the age of 3 all the way to 8, and the care she provided has been nothing short of outstanding.
From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where my son felt completely at ease. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for children shone through every single day. She supported his development beautifully — from helping him settle in during those early years to encouraging his confidence, independence, and curiosity as he grew.
What I appreciated most was her consistency and reliability. I always knew my son was in safe hands, and that peace of mind is priceless. She communicated openly, celebrated his little milestones with us, and treated him with the same care and attention she would give her own family.
Over the years, my son built a strong bond with her, and it’s clear how much she has contributed to the happy, confident boy he is today. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our journey.
If you are looking for a childminder who is caring, trustworthy, and truly exceptional, Marie is the one. She has been a blessing to our family, and we are forever grateful for the love and support she has given our son.

Amazing childminder with great communication. My youngest son started off very quiet, shy, and a real mummy’s boy, but he settled in so well with her and is now very happy and comfortable. We’re so grateful for the care she gives him. Our daughter will also be joining her in a couple of months when I return to work. Would highly recommend Dawne to everyone.
