I was very nervous about leaving my son with someone else, as a first time mum I definitely needed someone I could trust to leave my baby with. As soon as I met Federica and Sara in person I saw how caring and lovely they are, and how much they know about the different techniques or approaches to learning. My son just turned one when he started his settling sessions with Sara and Federica, and even though it's meant to be a bit of a process, he was so happy with them that it only took 4 days of settling for him to be able to stay full time. I am Spanish and I asked Sara if it was possible for her to talk to Ivar mainly in Spanish to keep up with his learning, and I am extremely happy and impressed of how much he has learnt! He understands so well what I asked him to do, either in Spanish and English. I love that they use all of their languages knowledge with the kids, Federica native language is Italian, and Sara's Spanish. I've never going to forget one day that I went to pick my son up and one of the other kids (British) told me Ciao! as I was leaving, I think it is fantastic. Ivar is learning and very enthusiastic to eat by himself with cutlery now, which it's also thanks to them, and he shows to know lots of nursery songs dances from their music time.
I could be here all day explaining everything I love from them. I feel extremely lucky that I found them, and I am a 100% sure that I won't be changing him to anywhere else until it's his time to start school.

I have a very clingy daughter & I was dreading her going to a childminder. From the moment she started her settling in i could tell these ladies would care and be there in the way I needed them to be. Gast forward almost a year and my daughter asks me regularly if she is going to play at their house today, she loves it. From the seasonal themed play room, to their park fun, to their singing, the children have a day jammed packed with activities and no screens in sight. These ladies are a blessing and I'm so grateful I found them. I'll be at work and get a little video sent me, or a photo and its so reassuring. Could not recommend them higher.

My son has joined the setting when he was 13 months and he settled in in less than a month. Once he settled he would jump into Federica’s arms, you could see how happy he was to go there and it has been a joy for me to see how well he was doing.
Sarah and Federica are amazing childminders, kind, caring, helpful and always easy to reach.
My son is developing great since he is going there, he does lots of activities and I love seeing everything he does during the day thanks to the various pictures and videos Sarah sends me to keep me informed.
I highly recommend them as they are fantastic childminders.

Sarah and Federica are excellent childminders; they are approachable, friendly, kind and patient.

My child has been attending their setting for about 6 months and is developing tremendously. Sarah and Federica are highly committed to the children they look after.

The two things I appreciate most about their approach is how creative they are and the level of thought that goes into each day’s activities, whilst still achieving the required EYFS. They are also open to ideas and suggestions and take a collaborative approach.

I also appreciate how much they promote cultural inclusivity and diversity in the materials they use.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an intimate and professional setting!

Sara and Federica are everything we hoped we will find in a childminder. Noah joined in the beginning of the year, and he is absolutely loving being looked after them. We are always happy to see the variety of activities they are doing during the day. The ladies create a fun and educational environment including nice time outside. So happy with food they provide which is a variety of healthy food. Sara and Federica are kind, patient, excellent in communication and caring. We are very glad that we found them and highly recommend for anyone looking for fantastic childminders.

We’ve sent out son to Federica when he was 14months. I was worried at the beginning but Federal helped with adaptation and made sure he feels safe and secure. It is now almost 6 months when he js there and he loves it. We call it little school because it not only great fun but he also learns a lots and really enjoys every day there.
I am confident when sending him to Federica and Sara. LittleBellNursery is amazing and best place for kids.

My son is attending the setting for 45 hours a week and he is always excited as soon as he arrives. As he is being dropped off at the door he rushes inside to play with the other children which for me is so heart warming to see as he is normally very shy. The nursery gives off a cozy, warm and safe feeling which is what put myself at ease when it comes to dropping off my child. As a mother its normal to worry about my child going to childcare but by meeting Federica she had put my mind at ease with her calm and professional approach.
I am so amazed about the activities that my son is involved in every day and me and my husband are happy to see his development. I am also grateful for the care and the attentions she gives to my son. I highly recommend.

Initially I was looking for a nanny who would come to my home to look after my son while I worked from home as I wasn’t quiet comfortable for him to be away from me. However when I came across Federica’s profile she immediately caught my attention as I could tell that she takes great care and pride in what she does by the effort she put into her profile information. Then when I met her and visited her nursery I was extremely happy as she is a lovely person inside and out and she puts her heart and soul into her work. Her nursery setting is exceptionally clean, safe and child friendly. My son loves going to Federica and my family and I notice positive changes in his development. Every week Federica will send photos, messages and updates on the activities they do and he now has a mini gallery from the artwork he comes home with !
Whenever I have any concerns Federica is always on hand to help and support and I can’t thank her enough for all that she does. As a parent you always want to know that your child is in safe hands and that they are around positive influences who will nature their spirit, be patient, kind and loving and with great fortune this is what we have found in Federica.

My Son loves going to Federica they have a lovely relationship which makes me and my husband happy to know he is in safe hands and makes dropping him off a little easier.

Federica was amazing when she looked after our daughter whilst our regular childminder was away on holiday. Federica ensured our daughter was comfortable and entertained from the moment we met her! She had many creative activities set up already and I could see my daughter was very happy! Federica has made her home very child friendly and welcoming and we are just sad we do not live closer to use Federica more!
