Wonderful childminder

Ailsa is a wonderful childminder.
My daughter Laura is always happy to go, and it’s clear she feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Ailsa creates a lovely atmosphere with plenty of fun activities and learning opportunities throughout the day. Her communication is great, and we always feel informed and reassured. We truly appreciate the kindness and reliability she shows — highly recommended!

I would definitely recommend Aisla

Ailsa was absolutely wonderful looking after my child during the half term. She is kind, patient and full of positive energy. Every day she planned fun and creative activities, and my child really enjoyed spending time with her. I felt completely confident that my child was safe, happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Ailsa 🥰

Wonderful Childminder!

Ailsa has been amazing with our little girl, who is three years old. She had never been left in care before, so we were really apprehensive about taking that step. From the moment we met Ailsa, it felt as though we had known her forever — she was so welcoming and warm that we immediately knew she was the right fit.

Our little girl took her hand and went off to play straight away. We left her for just an hour at first, and when we came back to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave! She has settled in so easily and gets genuinely excited to go, which, as a parent, is everything you could hope for when leaving your little one with someone.

Ailsa has a natural ability to make children feel secure and loved. We could not recommend her highly enough!

Overnight Care

Ailsa looked after my four-year-old overnight with just a week’s notice, and she was fantastic. She made sure to meet my little one beforehand so she wouldn’t just be left with a stranger, which immediately put me at ease. Ailsa was warm, reassuring, and thoughtful throughout.

Even though my daughter is usually a great sleeper, I was still nervous about leaving her. Ailsa sent regular updates and videos, which really helped. She even took Kim to Jump, so by bedtime she was happily worn out! Ailsa made sure her little night light and a landing light were left on, and Kim slept right through.

Kim was happy, content, and well cared for, and I will 100% be using Ailsa again. Highly recommend!

Urgent Afterschool Care

I needed after school care last minute for a month due to family issues. Ailsa has been looking after my son and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Her communication is excellent – she took the time to ask lots of questions about his likes, dislikes, to make sure he felt comfortable. I love that she keeps him busy with fun activities, and the photos are such a lovely touch. He settled with her in the first day and was more than happy to go back!
I’d highly recommend Ailsa to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and caring childminder.

Trusted and Warm

Ailsa helped my baby transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding, which was a challenging stage as he is very sensitive and had never been away from me. She is patient, warm, professional, and gave me complete peace of mind leaving my most precious little one in her care. My baby loves her, and even his older sister wants to stay with her! I highly recommend Ailsa to anyone looking for a caring and kind childminder.

Last minute care for my children

We were so grateful to have Ailsa step in last minute over the long bank holiday weekend. From the moment we met her, we warmed to her straight away – and so did the kids! She was professional, reliable, and at the same time absolutely fantastic with the children. They had so much fun with her and couldn’t stop talking about the activities they did together. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We had photos and video updates throughout the day, everything the kids ate and did was documented so we could look at it when we picked the kids up. The kids didn’t miss us at all and when we went to pick them up they wanted to stay!
We’ll definitely be using Ailsa again; highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy childminder.
