I needed an emergency bailout and Ms Pearl was readily available to step in. Open and honest communication on how my little man got on👌.
A real lifesaver!!

After speaking with this child minder since July, and having everything in place as in days my son would need to be looked after, exchanges of documents and funding in place. The childminder decided to cancel and say to me she can’t look after my son with no valid reasoning.
She quoted he has allergies which he does and it is a lactose allergy to which we had agreed I would be providing all his breakfasts and lunches to make it easier for her although this would be more work for me as child minders are usually providing lunch and breakfast.
She left with me two weeks notice till I start work after returning from maternity leave. She has left me with alot of stress now how can I find a setting or provision to look after my son in less than two weeks. She has known since July and confirmed everything and to cancel. This is deeply inconsiderate and unprofessional I will never recommend this service to anyone especially if your child has an allergy as she had clearly discriminated against him. She offered no apology and no explanation or understanding of her actions.
I cannot give any stars to this service

We were referred to Pearl by a mutual friend and after our first experience with her three weeks ago, we couldn’t be happier! From the moment we saw her setting, we knew it was a nurturing and engaging environment just like a little nursery perfect for any child. I knew our daughter would love it and she definitely did!!! Pearl took excellent care of our daughter, spending quality time with her indoors, at the park, keeping us updated throughout the day, during her meal time and showing a genuine concern for her well-being. As it was the first time our daughter spent time with Pearl, we were shocked but very happy that she settled in immediately with Pearl! Pearl's professionalism and experience shine through the minute you walk through her door. After searching for a long-term childminder, we truly feel blessed to have found Pearl. An honest blessing! We’re excited to continue using her services going forward! :)

Was looking for a last minute babysitter and Miss Pearl came to the rescue. My 3 year old had the best time there and I was always updated with messages and photos and when I came to pick him up he didn't want to leave 😂. Miss Pea was so nice and caring and you can tell she loves caring for children. Will definitely be seeing me soon!!!
