Cotema is a amazing childminder, I contracted Cotema after I was struggling for childcare in school holidays, Cotema was quick to reply and was able to accommodate my needs, from our first meeting Cotema is very polite and professional with Cotema nurturing nature my daughter took to her straight away, after this I felt feeling very ease leaving my daughter with Cotema, I knew My daughter was in safe hands. My daughter really enjoyed her time here and also was very excited about going back each day. Cotema gave updates during the day and would give feed back at pick up about all the fun they had that day. I will definitely be using her service again and I would highly recommend her to anyone
Bekky Looked after my non-verbal 6 year old girl for several weeks after school.
She was warm, friendly, easy going, great with my daughter and a good communicator. Bekky took time to ask me lots of relevant questions about my daughter prior to commencing care to enable her to best support my daughter.
We had the pleasure of having Abena look after my 8-year-old daughter for two full days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Abena was incredibly flexible, punctual, reliable, and caring throughout. She has a lovely, friendly manner, and my daughter warmed up to her very quickly, which speaks volumes about her approach with children. I felt completely at ease knowing my daughter was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Abena to any parent looking for a trustworthy and compassionate babysitter.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our nanny Dumitra! From the first days, she showed herself to be a very warm, sensitive and professional person. The child happily spent time with her, and we were absolutely calm about his safety and development. Dumitra always organized interesting activities, walks, helped with training and education. She is neat, punctual and knows how to find an individual approach to the child. We highly recommend her to all parents!

Lorraine has been looking after my daughter since she was 9 months old (sheâs now 11) and my son since he was 22 months (heâs now 4).
Both my children love Lorraine and have been happy whilst in her care. She loves the children she looks after like her own and all the children love Lorraine too. Lorraineâs family are also very loving towards the children and her home is warm and welcoming and feels like home away from home. Lorraine maintains good communication with parents and will always be honest and open ensuring the children are the priority. I feel confident in knowing that when my children are with Lorraine they are well looked after and that gives me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Lorraine as a childminder!
After experiencing 5 different childcare setting nurseries and other childminder, Isoken has been one of the best childcare provider me and my daughter have experienced.
Kind, patient, firm but fair, in stilling proper manners. One to one tutor, helping my daughter with her educational development and behaviour.
Flexible, daily updates, picture and video of how their day is going. Proper handover, working together with parent for the best of child.
Most nurseries employe people with level 2 and possible 3 in childcare but Isoken has Level 6 I'm Early child development and years of experience with is amazing no complains.
I have 2 teens with complex needs. My youngest is very reserved and doesnât like new people. Verity came in and bonded with her immediately - despite my daughterâs resistance. As a result weâve seen my daughterâs confidence grow and grow, and smile and laugh in a way we havenât seen for a long while. Verity is incredibly reliable and conscientious, and has an energy and positivity about her that engages and connects with young people. I would highly recommend her to other families.
Nicki looked after both of our daughters from 2021 up until 2025, and she was absolutely amazing! Our girls loved going to Nicki's house from age 11 months all the way through to 3 years old. She catered the activities to suit their development levels and teamed up with another childminder to help them socialise with more kids. She also took them to outings, such as toddler groups, playgrounds, soft plays, natural trails, forest school, farms, zoo and even Legoland! Even when they had a house day, the girls always came home happy and loaded up with crafts they'd created. There was always full transparency and photos shared of what they got up to, as well as their achievements logged in a development milestones tracker. We have full trust in Nicki and we can't recommend her enough!

We are absolutely delighted with our choice to have Shamina as our daughterâs Personal assistant/Nanny. She is truly wonderful and has exceeded all of our expectations.
Our list of requirements was quite challenging, yet Shamina not only met but surpassed every one of them. Our little girl has complex needs, requiring someone who could handle her history of hospital-related trauma and unique way to behave, with exceptional care and attentiveness. Our daughter has severe visual impairment and cardiomyopathy, which makes her life full of hospital interventions, medicines and a busy agenda at hospitals and therapies.
We were seeking someone Ofsted-registered, with a strong background in special educational needs, the ability to assist with schoolwork, and someone highly organized and proactive to help maintain the structure of our daughter's activities and belongings, given our busy lives.
It was also essential for us to find someone who would plan engaging activities, games, and play sessions for Laura.
Someone who would maximize every opportunity for quality time, rather than simply "watching over" her while we attended to other responsibilities.
We needed someone trustworthy to assist during meals, dressing, organizing after play, and fostering Lauraâs autonomy with patience and skill.
Shamina embodies all of these qualities and so much more. As both a teacher and a mother, she brings a priceless depth of experience that no course could teach. Her language and communication skills are impeccable, always positive, articulate, and encouraging.
She sets firm but kind boundaries, building a relationship of respect, and beautifully immerses herself in our daughterâs imaginative world, playing along with such devotion that it often brings tears of joy to my eyes.
It was our dream for our little warrior, who faces so many tough battles, to experience these moments of pure happiness and Shamina has made that dream a reality.
Additionally, Shamina quickly adapted to Lauraâs unique schooling methods, which include reading and writing in Braille and using specialized technology. Without much instruction from us (as our schedules are very demanding), Shamina efficiently learned everything, often guided by Laura herself.
She has transformed homework time into an enjoyable and motivating experience, celebrating every one of our daughterâs achievements with genuine enthusiasm.
From our very first contact, she gave us an incredible sense of trust and security. Our daughter is absolutely over the moon whenever she is with her. And for context since Lauraâs birth, I have never trusted anyone (not even my own mother) to take care of her, much less to pick her up from school and accompany her outside.
Shamina has earned that level of trust with her professionalism, commitment, and heart.
She is always punctual, appropriately dressed, organized, proactive, and presents herself with the utmost professionalism.
We couldn't be happier.
For us, Shamina is truly a blessing sent from above into the life of our brave little girl who deserves someone special like Shamina!

Max has been a nanny for our 3 children (aged 7 years, 4 years and 18 months) over the past 1 year. The children have loved Max looking after them and were always thrilled to see him arrive on a âMax-dayâ.
He did the school runs for my eldest child and spent the mornings having fun at various activities with the younger 2 children - these included: playgroup, soft play, local walks and days out at Chessington World of Adventures and also Bockettâs Farm.
He helped with drop offs for my eldest son to attend his regular Beavers club after school. He did a great job looking after all 3 children during the school holidays.
Max was very reliable. He always arrived on time and was accommodating if/ when we needed him to stay later.
I would whole heartedly recommend Max as a nanny. He was always professional and dependable, and the children had great fun during their time with him!
Ilona created a warm, welcoming, âhome from homeâ environment for our daughter. When she started at 12 months we knew whole heartedly how well she would be cared for and loved while in Ilonaâs setting. She thrived in the setting and gained huge progress in her language and fine motor skills. She has since had great success at transitioning to a nursery and no doubt this will be the same for school next year and this is thanks to Ilona.
Aspasia is the consummate professional, working to a high standard in looking after children and providing the wraparound services that a mother needs to keep her household running smoothly. She is attentive and proactive and thinks of and completes tasks that need to be done before she is asked. She has a high level understanding of not just looking after the children, but of what needs to be set up in the household for them to thrive. She has helped me organise my childrenâs rooms and belongings and this has been a great boon to our home after we moved. She has a calm and loving presence and my children warmed to her immediately. Aspasia is first class.

Where do I start my journey with Jill started 17years ago when I was looking for a childminder for my 1st born. Jill was recommended to me and I went with my daughter Mee-yah who was about 7month.
The 1st time we meet Jill it just felt right only a mother would knw that feeling.
I felt happy going back to work knowing my daughter was cared for loved and taught so much in the settings.
I then went on 2 have my 2nd child Amiyah who was born premature and I just felt at easy knowing she would be cared for loved and I would have to worry about nothing.
Jill become nanny to my girls they have such a beautiful relationship with her even though my oldest is 17 thatâs still her nanny. She is the most amazing person caring loving the environment for the children is the amazing.
Jill made it so easy for me to return to work getting updates on the girls when they was younger. She will go out her way for the children in her setting.
Leaving your child with someone is a big and terrifying decision â you want to be sure they are not only safe but happy and able to learn. Fedra and her team are more than just childminders; they are family. They create the same caring, loving environment that we have at home, and we will always be grateful for that.
You will not regret sending your child here. They have built a wonderful setting full of stimulation and educational activities, including day trips to places like the Nature Garden. The food they provide is varied and nutritious (I was very tempted to turn up at lunchtime myself on more than one occasion!).
Even after we moved away, they continued to invite us back for events like the Christmas party and Easter egg hunt, showing that itâs never just a goodbye on the last day â they genuinely care about seeing the children grow up.
We will miss them tremendously and feel so lucky to have been part of their community.
Our little one has had the best year with Hayley! Hayley always goes above and beyond and has been so flexible which has allowed us to continue working the hours we do whilst our toddler has the best time, most fun and fantastic experiences and opportunities with Hayley! She literally looks after all the children in her care like they're her own! đ„°
