I have been with Lisa since my son was 7 months old amd my daughter was 2, they have been with her for about 4 years and she has seen them both through to school.
She has looked after both my son and daughter over this time and she has been nothing but incredible.
She is reliable and in 4 years I can count on 1 hand the amount of times she has had to be unexpectedly off. If anything to her work schedule changes she gives plenty of notice and works with you as a parent where she can.
My son has several allergies and she has been excellent and professional in helping us while we were finding out about them one reaction at at time and played a significant role in helping us identify some problem foods and has also been amazing at ensuring his safety with food in her setting.
Both my children have started school well prepared, shes taught them so much and they both started school well equipped with understanding of some letters and numbers to 10. Developmentally she has made sure they are on track and suppourted us through all the usual hard bits like toilet training and transitioning from a dummy and dropping naps. They socialise with other children regularlyfrom other childminding settings and have lots of outside time which I love. Every worry I had about my children was put at ease by Lisa. Her setting is a home from home and the kids thrive there.
She has genuine love for her job and my kids love her dearly. I cannot recommend her enough and we are truly sad that the kids are too old to be with Lisa full time.
My son has been with Sarah since he was 1 year old, and choosing her as our childminder was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Sarah created such a warm, caring, and nurturing environment that he settled in quickly and has absolutely loved every moment with her.
Sarah cares about every child she looks after and it is clear how passionate she is about her job. My son adores her and is always excited to go to her house, which as a parent gives me complete confidence that he is happy, safe, and well looked after.
She provides a fantastic variety of activities and experiences for the children, from playgroups and park visits to bigger days out and special activities. She ensures they are always learning, exploring, and having fun, while also developing important social skills through interactions with other children.
Sarah's home is welcoming, child-friendly, and full of engaging toys and activities. She also keeps parents regularly updated throughout the day with messages and photos.
What sets Sarah apart is not only her professionalism and experience, but the genuine love and care she gives to the children in her setting. She goes above and beyond to support both the children and their families, and her years of experience are evident in everything she does.
I am so grateful for the positive impact she has had on my son. He absolutely loves Sarah, and I know the bond they have built is very special.
If you are looking for a childminder who is kind, trustworthy, experienced, and truly dedicated to the children she cares for, I would recommend Sarah without hesitation. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
We asked Kitty to take care of our son during our wedding. She was incredibly good at calming him down. She was considered and gentle and very kind to us! She even went to the shops when we ran out of formula and stayed an extra hour at short notice. I highly recommend Kitty! I felt my baby was very safe and well taken care of, even during a long and stressful day.

Our daughter started at Young Explorers Nursery in Cobham on 2nd December 2025, and we honestly couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very first day, the entire team made us feel so welcome and reassured us that she was in the best hands. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to get to know each child individually, making every child feel safe, valued, and loved.
The nursery itself is always clean, well-organised, and full of engaging activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. We have been so impressed with the communication from the staff, who keep us updated on our daughter's progress and daily activities. It's wonderful to see how happy and excited she is every morning to go to nursery.
The quality of care, the warm atmosphere, the delicious meals, and the dedication of every member of staff are truly exceptional. We are so grateful to everyone at Young Explorers for creating such a nurturing and stimulating environment for our daughter. We highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for outstanding childcare. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

Lida has cared for my three children for the past two years. She is thoughtful, compassionate, and consistently reliable. Lida is trustworthy and genuinely invested in the children she cares for, providing a warm, nurturing home environment. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a dependable, caring childminder.
Both of my sons have attended Rainbow Bears and have thoroughly enjoyed their time there. I found Summan via this platform to facilitate my son's before and after-school care, and I'm so glad I did. He has been cared for and supported like a member of the family. He had such a great time that I sent my younger son to be cared for at Rainbow Bears and it was the best decision I've ever made. He has grown in confidence and is so unbelievably school ready; he's been nurtured to be a happy, confident and eloquent learner. Rainbow Bears go out on different excursions every day, including Forest School one day which he absolutely loves. His learning has come on in leaps and bounds, through fun games and focused activities that Summan has checked to be in line with the way phonics are taught at the school he will be attending from September. Summan and her husband Toqeer love and care for the children as if they are their own and we are sad to be leaving.

We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our children. From day one, you welcomed our family with kindness, warmth, and genuine care. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our children were in such a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.
Our children have grown so much in confidence, independence, and social skills while in your care. They always come home happy, excited to tell us about their day, and look forward to seeing you again.
We truly appreciate the fun activities, the patience you show every day, and the excellent communication with us as parents. It is clear that you genuinely care about every child and treat them like family.
Thank you for everything you have done for our family. We will always be grateful and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and professional childminder.
We hired Anum as a full-time childminder for our 6-month-old son, and I highly recommend her.
After interviewing many childminders, I was especially impressed by Anum’s professionalism compared with others I met. Her responses were prompt, she communicates clearly, and she is very transparent about her fees and policies.
This strong communication has continued since we hired her. She sends photos several times a day and provides end-of-day and end-of-week summaries outlining what my son did and the progress he is making.
Anum is also very nurturing. My son receives a great deal of individual attention, and she spends much of the day engaging him in sensory activities, singing songs, and reading books.
She combines a warm, caring approach with a high level of professionalism, and I highly recommend her to any family looking for a childminder.

We have had Debbie tutoring our SEND daughter for nearly 2 years. Debbie has been very conscious of Milli’s needs. She brings a variety of activities to work through which is taken at a good pace for Milli, making sure that she isn't left to struggle with work that maybe new or more challenging. This is due to Milli having confidence issues, anxiety and autism. Debbie has always been professional but also friendly and she makes sure that the child comes first in all aspects. We were really pleased to find her on here and would highly recommend her.
Angela and Cam have become like family to us. Choosing them as childminders for our little girl was one of the best decisions we have ever made.
Our daughter has been with Angela and Cam since she was 9 months old, and she is now 5 years old. They have played such an important role in her development and have always gone above and beyond to make sure she was well prepared for starting primary school.
The facilities are absolutely wonderful. The children feel as though they are in a proper nursery, but with the added benefit of more personal care, a warm home-from-home environment, and healthy homemade food. Our daughter can be quite a picky eater, but she absolutely loves Angela’s cooking, which says a lot!
We are so grateful for the love, care, and dedication Angela and Cam have shown our daughter over the years.
I would 100% recommend them to any parent looking for caring, professional, and trustworthy childminders.

Emma started with us when we moved at the beginning of October 2025 for our then baby daughter; Penny who was 10 months old. Emma was with us for 3 days a week and was always such a joy to have and Penny absolutely adores her and I could always see how much they played together. Emma has been so helpful with batch cooking and advice when it comes to Penny (for example with the skin condition she has and recommended a great cream). Penny is now off to nursery and the only reason we are letting Emma go - for now! We will definitely be asking for babysits and hopefully be asking her back if we have a 2nd :) Thank you so much Emma x
We are sad

We couldn't have asked for a better start to our son's early years than with Louise and Mimi at Beverly Brook Childcare. They created such a warm, nurturing environment where he felt happy, and excited to learn. Their approach, especially the adventures on the common, gave him a real love of the outdoors while helping him build confidence, curiosity, and independence.
The progress our son made during his time there has been incredible, and we're so grateful to Louise and Mimi for their care, dedication, and genuine passion for what they do. We would wholeheartedly recommend Beverly Brook Childcare to any family looking for a setting where children are encouraged to thrive, explore, and enjoy learning every day.
We have used Alida as our childminder for around 4 months now and will be continuing as long as we can! She is such a genuinely kind soul and she is amazing with all the children! My son had no trouble settling in at 9 months because she was so attentive and made sure that he (and us) felt safe and comfortable at all times. The bond they have now is so lovely to see! She always keeps us updated throughout the day with pictures or messages and is very considerate to our busy schedules when we need a little bit of flexibility.
I cannot recommend her enough!

Our son has been with Naila for almost 2 months now and he absolutely loves going to her. He’s always excited to go, even on days that aren’t school days!
This was our first time using childcare, so we were a bit nervous about how he’d settle in but he’s proved there was nothing to worry about. Naila is such a loving, caring, and nurturing person. She plans lots of interactive activities for the kids which keeps them engaged and learning. As a mum herself, you can really feel that warmth in how she looks after the children. She keeps me updated all the time on what he’s doing, his progress, and any concerns -her communication is fantastic. We feel so lucky to have found someone who our son trusts and adores. Highly recommend!
I have been sending my little boy to Farzana since he was 9 months old, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provides.
Farzana is kind, caring, and incredibly flexible. Even if I ask on the same morning, she always tries her best to accommodate my childcare needs, which has been a huge help for our family.
I have never had any concerns about leaving my child with her. She always keeps any leftover food in his lunchbox, so I can see how much he has eaten during the day. My son has never come home with a heavily soiled nappy or nappy rash, which shows how attentive and caring she is.
My child is always happy to go to her, and that gives me great peace of mind. Her home is always spotlessly clean, welcoming, and smells lovely.
I would happily give Farzana 5 out of 5 in every category. Thank you, Farzana, for taking such wonderful care of my little boy. You are the best childminder in Manchester, and I truly appreciate everything you do!
I hired Anna to look after my five-month-old son while I attended a wedding, and she made what could have been a very nerve-wracking day completely stress-free. As it was the first time I'd left him with anyone outside my family, I was quite nervous, but Anna put me at ease straight away. She kept me updated with lovely photos and messages throughout the day, which meant so much and allowed me to relax and enjoy the wedding.
She took such wonderful care of my son, keeping him happy and entertained all day. Anna is caring, trustworthy, and incredibly professional, and I felt completely confident he was in the best hands. I can't recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again whenever I'm in the area. Thank you so much, Anna!
