My Summary
Little Pandas Childcare. Day And Overnight Care.
About Me
Welcome to our childcare.co.uk profile ! :)
We are two crazy, energetic sisters -Agnes and Andrea. We calling ourselves Pandas- black and white ( representing two completely different personalities) but when we are together we make this "black and white" work just perfectly. Together with little ones we are Little Pandas- all so different, but all loving have fun, explore, be mischievous sometimes, learn about world through real life experiences, and healthy food of course! Pandas loves their food!
Both- Andrea and Agnes we are Ofsted registered Childminders. We have gone through all the needed training to work with little ones, including first aid, safeguarding. We both regularly attending different trainings about children's development and learning. So we can make sure - we do our best for little ones to achieve full potential at Pandas.
We started Childminding in 2018, and we both agree that we absolutely love what we are doing. Our biggest inspiration for activities and and all the fun, is children and their families we look after. Everyone have unique story to tell and we are always thankful for families to choose us to be a part of their child's unique story.
We know it's not easy to find right childcare provider for your child. As a parent we want best for our children and you want to make sure that your child will enjoy their days in setting, that child will feel comfortable with childcare provider, and a parents will be able to leave child with provider without worries or concerns. This special bond is very important - for child, for a parents and for us of course. We always advice to come for a visit, see setting, meet us - question us, talk to us, have a look at what we do. If you do want to get know Pandas bit better, feel free to contact us and we can arrange visit.
“If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow.”
Children with no English knowledge are very welcome. We believe that children are quick learners , with patience and with right approach children adopt language skills easily.

Our daughter absolutely loves Pandas. Andrea and Agnes create a very friendly, safe and fun environment. Every occasion is celebrated in a special way, every birthday is unique and so much fun! We also get daily updates via whatsapp with photos so we are aware of what has been done, how long our daughter napped and what she has eaten that day. She has already made so many friends and always says how much she loves her 'teachers'. We wouldn't imagine a better place for our daughter to develop, socialise and just have a good fun every day. And as parents we fully trust Andrea and Agnes and would recommend Pandas to anyone. Thank you for all your hard work!

Our daughter has been going to little pandas since she was one and she’s nearly three now. Couldn’t ask for a better place for her to go. They are both so welcoming and happy to see her every morning. Rosie runs from the car and straight inside to play with her friends, she forgets about me haha! They are always doing lots of different activities and always going out exploring outside. We get lots of pictures and videos updates from the day which are lovely to look at after a day of work. They have a really good bond with Rosie and she has become a really confident little girl. Would recommend anyone to send their children here, you won’t be disappointed.

Our son has been attending pandas for a year now and loves it there. Andrea and Agnes have been amazing, they have so much patience and are always supportive towards us and our child. They even helped to potty train him. Another thing we love is that almost all of the children that attend are similar ages so he develops strong friendships and learns to grow alongside his peers. We get photos sent daily showing what he's been up to and they are always having so much fun, running around, at the park, playing games, singing and dancing, having parties! I definitely recommend pandas childcare to everyone who's looking for a safe and supportive environment for their little one.

Thank you so much and we are so pleased to hear your positive feedback ❤️
My daughter has been going to Little Pandas since she was 6 months old and is now 2.5 years old. She loves going to Pandas every weekday and she has developed strong bonds with both Andrea and Agnes and the other children there. It has been great for her language development and she is very chatty now. She has been encouraged to eat independently and she loves going out for the daily walks and park/shop visits. There are a range of celebrations of different cultures and special days and my daughter loves dressing up for these occasions.
The daily updates via Whatsapp are really useful to see what she has done, how she has interacted, what she has eaten, how long she has napped for etc.
During the school holidays there are special days out and I have complete trust in Andrea and Agnes to transport the children safely and make sure they are well looked after during the trips. The children all wear hi-viz jackets to show who they are with and she always has fun.
I would definitely recommend Little Pandas to anyone who wants their child to benefit from a smaller, more personal childcare setting.

Thank you so much for your feedback we really appreciate it ❤️
Unable to settle 2 yo . My daughter was crying and couldn’t be settled only to see their front doors . I’ve been called off from work coz these 2 Andrea and her sister was unable to settle down my child
Mixture of children in different ages in the same group ( just to maximise profit I assume ) so 2 yo are expected to undertake the same activities as much older children which eventually led to their frustration. They have my 2 years old scissors to cut the paper !!!! No facilities only small living room and kitchen with big table . They’ll look down on you and make you feel like your horrible mother . Avoid these 2 like a plaque .

Hello Katarzyn! We are really sorry to read this review! Could you please remind us when you was attending our setting, so sorry but we cannot recall you? We are feeling very sorry that we have made someone feeling like that but it's difficult to comment as we don't recognise you. But yes we do encourage children use child safe scissors and other arts and crafts stuff to help their development. And yes we have different age of children and they will likely do same or similar activities but there is no expectations, our goal for each individual child to reach their individual progress. You probably will find most childminders works with different age children. And if you attended our setting than you probably are aware that we working from home and most activities are outdoors and we going for walks and trips every day. Please do get in touch with us so we can figure out which child we are talking about because at the moment we are in loss as we cannot remember any upset 2 year leaving us and we definitely haven't called anyone to pick up upset child. Wrong setting? Possibly? Thank you and we really hope we can solve this puzzle together :)
My daughter was 3 years in a nursery prior coming to Little Pandas Family.... Andrea and Agnes started looking after our daughter since October 2021 and it was truly the best choice I ever made... The house looks very organised and clean.
Our daughter felt so much happier and safe with them. They are so friendly and caring too. They must have amazing cooking skills too as my daughter always comes home very proud of herself showing her reward stickers because she ate all her food.
I am really so grateful for having them taking care of my daughter as when I was facing a difficult time they were so supportive and helpful.
I would definitely recommend them to any parents who need reliable childcare.

Andrea and Agnes are brilliant. My daughter started coming here after a bad experience at her previous nursery. My daughter has come a very long way and her confidence has grown so much since being here. They do amazing activities in the day and are always going out. No day is a boring day ! My daughter feels so safe there and when drop her off i know 100% that she is safe and well looked after. I never worry.
My daughter is buzzing when I pick her up and even thrown a tantrum because she didn't want to leave ! 🤣 they have amazing bonds with all the children and they work with the parents to make sure your child is comfortable at their home.
If I had another child, they would come here definitely!
Words cannot describe how greatful I am to Andrea and Agnes, they are simply... amazing !

Thank you so much for amazing review 💖 Your kind words put a tear in our eyes 🤍🐼
A happy, fun and caring place that our toddler gets excited about in the mornings as he knows where he is going. His development has been excellent, and all three ladies ensure his day is fulfilling and fun. He enjoys a varied menu of things to eat each day and enjoys regular trips out to some exciting places. The communication is excellent and the use of social media throughout the day allowing us to see what he's getting up to is a massive plus as well as keeping us informed of any key learning and experiences they have planned... Keep up the great work everyone.

Andrea and Agnes are absolutely brilliant with my son. My 3-year-old has been attending Pandas since April this year and has hit so many milestones with them I couldn't be happier. Previously he attended a busy daycare which was convenient in terms of location, but, given the cost of the daycare, the quality of care my son was getting just didn´t match up to being with childminders. The personal attention he now gets and the home-from-home setting he is now in is such a benefit to his development and wellbeing. The improvement in his moods and behavior improved within just 2 weeks of the change to Pandas.
Andrea and Agnes take the kids to playgrounds and parks, getting a lot of fresh air and exercise. The routine works so well and my son is a well adjusted, happy little boy every time we pick him up.
Andrea and Agnes really do go the extra mile, they make every occasion special and really put a lot of detail and effort in planning activities and outings. The indoor setting is very homey, calm, very clean and organised. The communication is also excellent - with regular updates and pictures, which is such a comfort knowing that my child is safe, well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Andrea and Agnes in light of the excellent job they are continuing to do caring for my son.
