My daughter was 9 months old when she joined Bella's setting.
"I'm afraid my daughter is very clingy, whingy and will not nap!" I explained, exasperated and desperate.
Bella smiled, and with confidence, she reassured me that this wouldn't be the case for long. And she was right! Since that first day, my daughter's progress and development has been nothing short of miraculous.
The level of care she gives is clear to see. My daughter adores her, and I'm not surprised with all the fun activities, learning, social outings and playgroups she attends. Bella's home is bright, clean and cosy and with meticulous attention to detail (including the freshly home cooked food on offer)
Bella is a natural; the bond she has with the children is heartwarming and she demonstrates such experience, competence and confidence. My husband even has a saying at home - "WWBD" (What Would Bella Do)
She's more than a childminder, she's fast become a very treasured person in our lives and I am so grateful to have found her!

I absolutely cannot recommend Bella enough! My son has been with her for about six months now and he has grown so much in himself, he is more confident, more inquisitive and more independent. He has successfully started potty training at 18 months with Bella’s help! Bella’s environment demonstrates her dedication to her career and the children she cares for; there are SO many toys and learning tools for the kids, her space is safe, clean, warm, friendly and fun and she is a brilliant Italian cook! Bella herself is nurturing, honest, understanding, fun and loving. She takes the kids to play groups, the park, soft play etc as well as playing at home. My sons face lights up when we arrive at her door and he goes to her with barely a grumble. I literally couldn’t ask for more from her. We are moving to Oxford in June and I’m absolutely gutted that we will no longer be able to work with Bella, but I know we’ll keep in touch.

Our son took an immediate liking to Isabella and had a wonderful time under her care. She has a good setting and always takes the children outdoors and keeps them active, learning and exploring. She is also a fantastic cook preparing delicious homemade meals. Our son was saying 'Big yummy!' during all the meals. We would highly recommend Isabella!

Isabella has formed a personal connection with our son and he thoroughly enjoys spending time with her. Her environment is warm, fun and clean and she keeps the children well entertained all day long. Our son is starting school in September and we are very sad to not have him in Isabella's care as much going forward. We highly recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a wonderful childminder.

Isabella is an incredibly talented childminder. My daughter who is close to two absolutely loves her ‘Bella’s house’ days! I was worried about her transition from our home to another and also about leaving her as she’s v attached but it has been seamless. Isabella quickly forged a very strong bond with her and she happily leaves me and sometimes even forgets to say bye in her rush to jump into Bella’s arms!!
We’re so appreciative of Isabella’s professionalism and genuine care for our daughter. She eats really delicious home cooked healthy food, sleeps and plays very well and attends many stimulating activities.
I couldn’t recommend Isabella’s services more highly.

Isabella started working for our family in March 2016 as a daytime nanny (and occasional evening babysitter) for our (then 5-month old) son. She has been looking after him on a regular basis since then and he loves going to 'Bella's house'.
Isabella is professional, responsive to our requirements and trust-worthy. Her focus on our son’s development and safety is outstanding. She’s attentive to his needs, creative in her choice of activities for him and always has a smile on her face. She often gives us great tips on products we can buy (e.g. for teething and learning) and approaches we can try (e.g. to get him to sample new foods). We have a great relationship of knowledge-sharing and trust, and the level of care she provides is excellent.

Isabella has been awesome with my baby boy who loved going to her place 2 times per week. She manages to have him doing his afternoon nap (which was not an easy thing) and kept him happy & entertained all day long. When he was with her (I did not have to ask for) she took the initiative to send me regular update and picture via WhatsApp as she knew I might be a bit stressed to leave him. She is also very organized and I would totally recommend her!
