Five stars is not enough to express how grateful we are for Sue Seaton. Sue has done an absolute world-class job looking after our son, Hamdaan.
From day one, Sue was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Her genuine warmth and nurturing nature made Hamdaan feel completely safe and loved right away. Under her care, we have watched him transform into such a polite, well-mannered, and thoughtful 3-year-old. She didn't just look after him—she truly helped shape his character and taught him wonderful values, patience, and good manners that shine through every day.
We are so deeply appreciative of everything Sue has done for our family. She goes above and beyond, and any child is exceptionally lucky to be in her care. Thank you so much, Sue, for being such a positive, impactful force in Hamdaan's early years!

Sue first looked after my son from the age of two until he was almost four. We had such a wonderful experience that when it came to choosing childcare for our daughter, there was no question - we chose Sue again.
My daughter has been with Sue since she was just 11 months old and is now almost four. She spends three days a week with her, absolutely adores her and genuinely looks forward to every day she goes. We have been so happy with the care, learning and experiences Sue provides that we chose to keep our daughter with her rather than move her to nursery.
What really sets Sue apart is the variety of experiences she gives the children. They are regularly out exploring parks and farms and even visit the local care home, giving them the lovely opportunity to interact with elderly residents. I have seen first-hand how much these experiences have helped my daughter grow in confidence, independence and social skills.
After caring for both our children over so many years, Sue has become much more than a childminder - she truly feels like part of our family. She is warm, reliable, incredibly dedicated and always willing to go above and beyond for the children in her care.
The fact that both of our children have been so happy and attached to Sue says more than any review could. Leaving your child with someone requires enormous trust, and with Sue, I have always had complete peace of mind.
We are so grateful that both of our children have had Sue as such an important part of their early years. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Sue highly enough to another family.

My son has been with Sue now for 2.5 years (from the age of one) and I am heartbroken that next week will be his last time as he leaves to start school nursery. Sue is more than a childminder; she is family and has helped me and my son in more ways than you can imagine. Her warmth and kindness shine through and I cannot speak highly enough about her care. I leave my son knowing he is going to be cared for with such love and will spend his days filled with joy, fun and creativity. I genuinely cannot recommended Sue enough - she is fabulous!

Oh Holly I’ve only just seen this. Thank you. I miss your young man he is such a character. Thank you it’s been an absolute pleasure to take care of him for you and watch him develop from the young baby into a young man equipped to enter the school nursery environment. He will always have a place in my heart where I go “Ah **** little cutie”
Thank you for your lovely review.
Sue has looked after our child for a couple of years. He has always been happy with her. My child loves going to Sue’s house. Sue takes the time to take the children on outings and mix with other children through local childminders. They have great play and learning experiences.
Sue is able to provide all of the food, and will also provides regular video and photo updates during the day.
If you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, then Sue is 100% the right choice. I trust her completely with my child. Thank you Sue. X

Hi Jen, I’ve only just seen this thank you. Oh I miss your little chatter box asking me some very clever questions. It’s been a pleasure to take care of **** for you. He is greatly missed here the other children still talk about him and hope he returns. I hope he is getting on well at school. I’ll never forget you telling me he woke in the night asking to come here and couldn’t work out why you wouldn’t bring him. Bless him. Keep in touch
We have been sending our daughter to Sue two days a week for about 4 months now (she has just turned 1) and we are so pleased with how it’s going. Our daughter is very happy both at drop off and pick up, never any tears being there. Sue has managed to help our daughter take her naps in the pram (she would only contact nap or nap in the pram when out walking) which has been great. I love receiving video updates of her playing with the other children there, it’s clear how comfortable and safe she is and how well looked after all the children are. It makes going back to work a lot easier knowing she’s in such safe hands. Sue is very accommodating and understanding if plans change which we really appreciate. We’re super pleased with how quickly our daughter has settled in here and would highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for childcare.

Hi Liz. I’ve only just seen this message. Thank you so much for your review. Well your little baby is now racing around with the others and chattering about everything too. Now one of the bigger ones. It’s an absolute pleasure to look after her for you and I’m glad she settled in so well and still comes through the door with a big smile on her face. It’s great working with you to help provide a safe and loving environment for your daughter to thrive,
Thank you
Sue looked after my little one since she was 6 months for 1 day a week and then 3 days a week since she was 1 year old. My daughter is now 3.5 years and she says that she misses Sue now that she is in foundation class in nursery. My daughter was so happy during her time with Sue every day.
Sue has an special ability to deal with kids, she makes them feel home. Her setting is a great environment for little kids, full of respect and happiness. I can go to
Work in peace knowing that my little daughter is happy and safe with Sue. I cannot recommend her enough, she is truly great.

Thanks for the super review. It’s been a pleasure looking after your daughter and she is missed greatly here too by myself and all her little friends. It’s great when she pops by for a visit with you.
Glad you all liked the setting and have positive outcomes as she moved on to her next stage. It’s been a privilege to be part of her early life.
Sue is very nice, kind and reliable person. She is providing professional childcare and good at building relationship with little ones. My 2 years old son is happily stay with Sue rather than go to nursery. Even at home, he mentioned Sue and his friends meet in Sue’s place for many times.
We have effective communication via videos and text or calls. During the day, I am completely comfortable to send him to Sue and watch the updates from my phone. Also, Sue helps to encourage my son’s speaking that we concerned at the first place.
Food is good that my son ate a lots and a lots different toys to let him play. Super recommended!

Thanks Cathy so glad your pleased with the childcare offered. It’s so lovely seeing little ones wanting to come in and not upset at the door. Your son is a delight, with a super sense of humour. You may regret me teaching him the language skills he needs which will also develop his ability to say “ No” something all 2 yr olds learn very well. I Love how quickly he has settled and has become part of the family here too.
Thankyou for your review
Sue
Sue has looked after our daughter for over a year now, after we couldn’t settle her in nursery.
She focuses on the children having a fantastic play experience and interacting with each other. My daughter absolutely loves it there and I’m so happy with chose Sue.
Sue provides all of the food, trips out etc and provides regular video updates during the day, to get me through work!

Thanks Matt
Absolutely love looking after your daughter. She is a delight and certainly makes me smile with the things she says and does.
Many thanks for your review I hope your son enjoys coming as much as your daughter does.
Sue
Sue and milestones childcare have had both our children and we could not be happier. Sue is exceptionally qualified but moreover is just a wonderful caring and loving person. Our children love her and she has helped with their early development to an incredible level. When our children had to leave the setting to enter school we were gutted. Sue is very professional yet extremely kind and caring and creates a first class environment for children. We highly recommend Sue.
