We feel incredibly lucky to have found Abi. From the very beginning, Created a safe, loving, and nurturing environment that our child absolutely loves. It’s clear how much care and thought goes into every part of the day — from fun, educational activities to outdoor play and healthy meals.
Our child settled in quickly thanks to Abi’s calm and kind nature, and we’ve seen such positive growth in their confidence, social skills, and independence. Communication has always been excellent, with regular updates and photos that truly give us peace of mind.
It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are for the love and care Abi shows every single day. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for a trustworthy and wonderful childminder.
Thank you for everything you do!

Abi has to be the best childminder in and around the Stevenage area.
We moved to Stevange about a year and a half ago and started sending my 18-month-old son to Abi when my wife decided to return to work. Abi was very welcoming and suggested a week of settling-in sessions for my son as he never stayed away from my wife and was still breastfeeding. She was accommodating to our needs like making sure our son got food of his choice and often discussed and helped us understand our son's growth and progress which was very useful as first-time parents.
We have seen our son learn so many things like Numbers, poems, alphabets and other activities like painting, colours etc. He enjoyed his time with Abi and always came home cheerful and happy. Special mention of him murmuring Abu's name (Abi-didi) all the time :)
Thank you, Abi for looking after our son!!

Thank so much for nice review 😊
I highly rate Abi as a childminder. My daughter is so happy and settled there and when she goes there she rushes in without looking back. She enjoys being at Abis. Abi is great and communicating on a day to day and sends pictures and updates. My daughter is well looked after fed and also has a chance to nap in the afternoon. I am really happy with her as she is doing a wonderful job.
