The meeting with her and the communication even before my daughter stayed with her was fantastic
Alisa has been great with my daughter for the last week and half she has looked after her
Sends me pictures keeps me updated on what she has been doing through the day

Thank you so much Kayleigh! It love her she is the happiest, brightest button!
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!

Hi David thank you so much for taking the time to write a lovely review. ☺️ Kim was a delight to have and always welcome back anytime 🥰
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.

Awe thank you Kirsty! Always here anytime ☺️
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.

Thank you Thanhdo 🥰 They both are so adorable! I love having them xxx
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.
