Shwe is very responsible, warm, lovely and happy every day while working with our little one. We are grateful for the time that our little one spends with Shwe and all the other kids, definitely helped our toddler with socialising. Our kid does so many different activities while he is cared for, his days are full of experiences, affection and good food. Thank you Shwe!

Natalie has taken care of our 1 year old daughter for 7 months now. Our daughter LOVES spending time at Natalie’s with her and her lovely new little friends.
The childminding space is beautiful and equipped with everything a child could want. Natalie offers an array of creative and fun activities both indoor and in the garden. Children are offered great opportunities to be inquisitive with sensory play and explore with slides and climbing frames. There are even day trips to park! Our daughter really enjoys the snacks Natalie provides too. Natalie provides a safe space for nap time and our daughter naps for up to 2 hours there!
Natalie is a kind, compassionate, experienced, professional and empathetic human and childminder. She goes above and beyond to keeps us up to date throughout the day on how our daughter is doing as well as notifying us of any issues that might impact on our daughter.
Our daughter always greets Natalie with a hug and smile and we feel so fortunate and blessed to know Natalie and use her services.
Simply put we cannot recommend Natalie enough! Your child will be in wonderful hands.
Our daughter started her journey with Little Nestling back in the summer of 2023, just after she turned one, and has remained in Charlotte’s amazing care ever since. We chose Little Nestlings for its home from home setting, wrap around care hours, age/development related toys and activities and regular day trips exploring wonderful parts of Watford/Hertfordshire that any child would love.
The setting for Little Nestlings is warm, friendly, engaging and filled with love. Our daughter has simply thrived with Charlotte and her bubbly personality is in part due to her being able to play, explore and engage with other toddlers and young children. Charlotte has been wonderful and nurturing from day one and welcomed our daughter with kindness and care; the environment has helped from just crawling and wearing nappies to climbing like a monkey at playgrounds and using the toilet confidently.
There’s too much to list of what my daughter has experienced and celebrated but to list a few include learning about her other friends’ cultures, Remembrance Sunday, Seasons, endless nursery rhymes, Sports Day, sponsored walks, Children in Need, Conkers, feeding birds, local library, Tescos, bird watching and how to open a canal lock. She’s visited farms, Elstree Aerodrome, 100 Acre Woods, Cheslyn House and Garden, Leavesden Country Park, Aquatic centres and pet shops, Garden Centres, watched a film in the cinema – not to mention celebrating every Nestling’s birthday (with a pizza and cake combo!), Mother’s/Father’s day, Halloween and of course Christmas!
Charlotte proves great feedback at the end of every session (you always hope they eat lunch and are well behaved – and they do most days!) and shares a range of photos of her adventures that day with her friends. Every so often Charlotte provides a development report on their progress and what to expect over the next few months. Charlotte has been wonderful in terms of pick up and drop off times, even accommodating changes a day or hours before due to work restraints or illness.
Our journey with Little Nestling is coming to an end soon and we’re not ready for the change as Charlotte has been the only constant throughout the toddler years and it’s going to be a difficult change for my daughter but mainly for us as parents to get used to. We’d loved listening to all our daughter’s stories at the end of the day during dinner and looked back fondly at the number of shoes she’s had to go through, as she’s travelled many, many miles in them because of Charlotte.
We couldn’t be more pleased for all the support and guidance we received as new parents. It’s been a blessing. And if it’s not obvious, we could not recommend Little Nestlings enough!
We were attending a wedding at Pylewell Park, Lymington and found Hannah at the last minute after being let down by another babysitter. From the moment we met her, she was warm, calm, caring and incredibly reassuring.
Hannah looked after our 7-month-old daughter, and it was immediately clear that she was experienced, thoughtful and genuinely caring. She put us completely at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy the wedding knowing our little one was in safe hands.
She was professional, considerate and wonderful with our daughter throughout. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable babysitter, and we would happily hire her again in the future.
Thank you, Hannah!

Reema has been great for us and our son. Her introduction days helped him adjust quickly, and he is happy on a morning when we drop off and at night when we collect him. Her communication is excellent, and she is always friendly and supportive with us. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family.
my family had the pleasure of Lilly’s babysitting services, she was punctual, attentive, very good with my children they made kaleidoscopes, told stories and throughly enjoyed Lilly’s calm nurturing nature. I highly recommend anyone who wants a babysitter to look no further than Lilly. looking forward to using her services in the near future.

Madhu provides such thoughtful, personalised care and always goes above and beyond to make every session both fun and educational. She has a wonderful ability to engage children while helping them learn and grow.
Her warm, caring nature shines through in everything she does. She has made such a positive impact on our family that my son now sees her as part of it. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness, dedication, and genuine care she brings every day.
Anna showed real care and patience helping our daughter to settle. We were always thankful for her advice, honesty and support.
Anna provides the children with a loving, warm home environment with access to lots of lovely play experiences indoors and out. We have such fond memories. Thank you so much Anna. We all miss you terribly x
My 18 month daughter feels happy when we get to the door of Kavitha. She walks into the door and waves me bye without crying. She is well taken care of and I’m not worried about the safety of my daughter whilst she’s in her care. Kavitha takes the welfare and security highly serious. When my family comes to pick my daughter she still tells me when they left. She doesn’t forget my daughter medication and always ask if there any changes. Her assistants are also nice and well trained. Since my daughter started she sings more nursery rhyme. Urvashi and Kavitha daughter always tells me what activities they done with her when I do come pick up. My daughter has been there for 2 months and she is already settled and smiling. The home is nice and clean. The service is highly trained in supporting children. This is something I wanted for my daughter and she does look happy under Kavitha care.
Purnima has been an amazing childminder, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From day one, I always felt completely at ease leaving my daughter in her care. Purnima’s regular updates and excellent communication gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my daughter was happy, safe, and well looked after.
My daughter absolutely loved her time with Purnima. She made such wonderful friendships and enjoyed every moment she spent there. It has been such a positive and enriching experience for her, and she genuinely misses Purnima and all of her friends dearly.
We are so grateful for the care, kindness, and support that Purnima has provided over the years. She has played such an important role in my daughter’s early years, and we will always keep in touch. I would wholeheartedly recommend Purnima to any parent looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated childminder.
Fizza has been taking my daughters to and from school and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. She’s always on time, really reliable, and I never have to worry because I know my girls are safe with her.
She’s so friendly and great with children, and my daughters absolutely love her. She’s kind, patient, and always goes above and beyond to help out. Nothing ever seems like too much trouble for her.
It’s such a relief having someone so trustworthy and dependable. I would highly recommend Fizza to any parent looking for a safe, reliable, and genuinely caring school run service.
We were incredibly lucky to have Caroline as our night nanny from when our baby was only a few weeks old. During such an overwhelming stage of postpartum recovery, she made life so much easier for us. She was proactive, calm, experienced, and never needed much direction or preparation from us before her shifts - she would simply arrive and take over seamlessly, which was such a relief during those early months.
It was obvious how much she genuinely cared for our baby, and she always treated him with warmth and kindness. She was also a great source of support for me personally, offering thoughtful advice on parenting, breastfeeding and sleep whenever I asked, without ever being pushy. She even noticed that the umbilical cord may have been infected which is something we would have missed, and came with us to A&E that night!
She was reliable, punctual, and professional, and we always felt comfortable knowing our baby was in safe hands overnight. We’re very grateful for everything she did for our family and would happily recommend her to others looking for a caring and capable night nanny.

Lynn helped us in the early weeks with our baby as a night nanny and was always very warm, gentle, and caring with him. It was clear she genuinely cared about babies and wanted us all to feel settled and supported during such a tiring stage.
She was friendly, calm, and easy to have around overnight, and it was lovely knowing our baby was being looked after with care while we got some much-needed sleep. We appreciated the help she gave us during those early weeks and are grateful for the support she provided to our family.
We would happily recommend her as a night nanny to others.

Having had experience with a few childminders/babysitters over the years, I can honestly say there are none as good as Phe! She accompanied me into London to help look after my 2 children for the day and she was AMAZING! Well prepared, conscientious, kind, calm, alert, patient, experienced…all the things you’d want/need from a childminder/babysitter. The fact she’s got great qualifications is an added bonus! would recommend her to anyone!

Would recommend, 100%
First time ive left my kids with a childminder and Ruhama is incredible, really grateful to have come across her profile. She is very welcoming and was happy to explain everything in regards to her terms and policies, my children had a good time & settled in quickly with her and said she was nice, that they had a good time. She kept me updated whilst away too, which i was grateful for. Thankyou again ☺️
There aren’t enough words to properly describe how amazing Sophie has been as our childminder over the past 9 months.
From the very beginning, she has been warm, kind, and genuinely caring, and we have always felt completely confident leaving our son in her care. She creates such a nurturing and happy environment, and it is clear how much she truly cares for the children she looks after.
Sophie does so many varied and engaging activities with them, always keeping things fun, stimulating, and age-appropriate. We have been especially impressed with how much she has helped our son develop his understanding of colours and numbers during his time with her. It has been wonderful to see his confidence grow.
She also provides consistently lovely, nutritious, and tasty meals, which he always enjoys.
We are only saying goodbye because we are relocating to the US; otherwise, we would have loved for our son to stay with her much longer. We feel very lucky to have had her as part of his early years, and we cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for exceptional childcare.

Kasia, is currently looking after by almost 2year old boy and I could not be more happy about it. Her personal approach to kids is one of a kind and she always tries to find something for them to do as activities outside the house. She cooks the food and has a lot of variety. Thank you again for everything!
