Madi has been great with my 1 year old daughter. She is very professional, kind and naturally good with kids. She is very knowledgeable about kids too. Also she goes the extra mile, gets toys for the kids etc. also to make her services special her family is so respectful and friendly, I feel very comfortable leaving my child at her house.
Lindsay is always here on time and is very reliable. She very quickly gained our son’s trust, so that is was very easy for us to leave him with her and it’s been great to listen to them playing and singing! She brings age-appropriate toys and things to play with with him that he absolutely loves.

As a parent, the safety and well-being of my child is my top priority. So when it came to choosing a childminder, I was extremely anxious. But then I found Eunice and all my worries vanished. My daughter has been with her since 2021, and I can confidently say that Eunice and her husband are the best! Not only is my daughter happy, but she's also meeting all her milestones and learning new things every day. She loves spending time with Eunice so much that every holiday period is a struggle as she wants to be with her all the time. If you're looking for a safe and nurturing environment for your child, look no further than Eunice. I'm grateful for all that she's doing and the peace of mind she's given me. Thank you, Eunice!
Nancy provides a wonderful nurturing environment for our toddler with lots of learning, play and outside activities. She clearly loves her time with her and always runs up to the front door. We are very happy with the updates we receive each day of activities with lots of hands on learning and crafting.
Emma has cared for my daughter from 9 months to almost 2. Since day 1 Emma has always made us feel so comfortable about the care, always keeping us updated with pictures and a breakdown of her day.
Emma has such a caring presence with the kids and goes above and beyond to ensure that they are constantly having a good day and learning new things. Whether it’s having the confidence to start walking or improving eating habits! She teaches the kids important skills that was helpful and transitioned to home life too. Our daughter has adapted to being around other kids so well and I know that’s due to the friendships that’s she made with the help of Emma.
Emma has always made sure that kids ate healthy nutritious meals and snacks and learnt the importance of eating together too. The environment Emma has built is great for the kids too, new rotation of toys and a great garden to give the kids space to explore and play. Also the daily trips outside to make sure the kids are the always exploring and seeing new things and interacting with others.
We will always be grateful for the impact Emma has made on our little family as she helped us through those early years been new parents always giving us advice and assurance we were doing well. We will miss our daily chats and i know our girl will miss the lovely time she’s had with Emma and her family and Lou Lou (the cat).
I couldn't recommend Emma enough for playing the critical role of a child minder for us with such a caring, loving and warm attitude.

Kim looked after my 4 years old son for one day.
It was his first experience with a Childminder.
Kim is a friendly, positive and reliable Childminder.
Her setting is clean and full of different toys.
They did many activities during one day - arts, visited playgroup and playground.
Kim sent me a lot of photos of that day.
My son was happy and entertained.
Thank you.

We would very, very strongly recommend Kate as a Childminder! The setup with her husband and daughter is brilliant in a lovely house. We contacted her through this website, had clear communication and arranged a time to visit. They have made a lovely child friendly space with a covered back garden and a great range of toys and activities. We received a very clear set of paperwork and are confident everything is done very carefully and properly. Kate has been brilliant making sure the new childcare hours are available with what sounds like a complicated system!
There is such warmth and care in the setting, you really feel like it is an extended family. Our daughter joined at 18 months when we relocated to the area. The small size of up to 9 children has been absolutely perfect; she loves her time there. She has made some really good friends and is very close to Kate and her family. Kate kindly shares details so that the parents can get together; the parents we now know are always full of praise and talking about how much the children love their time there too.
A real highlight is the food. Kate is very knowledgeable and makes a brilliant range of foods which are exactly what the children need and also delicious (apparently!). Our daughter has definitely seen the benefits of the diet and eating as a group helps them all to try things even when at home our daughter can be picky.
Our daughter has learnt about tidying up through her time with Kate - they clearly do a great job of making sure they tidy away after an activity and taking off their shoes and putting them by the door. They ensure that the children get the sleep that they need through the day and our daughter always comes home having had a good long nap.
They celebrate everyone's birthdays with a party and lots of singing. We are always delighted with the gifts and crafts which our daughter brings home, such as Christmas and Easter decorations and a card for mothers day. We often see photos of the activities with lots of painting and exploring out to the park when the weather allows.
We have very much appreciated the flexibility on specific hours. Week to week we do have slightly different pickup times as I occasionally work away, and we are able to let Kate know on a weekly basis and she has managed to accommodate. We have also done some shorter days and our daughter leaves having been well-fed and had lots of fun.
Our daughter is very happy and chatty and this has definitely been down to Kate and all of the love, care and fun she has at the setting. We are so so grateful and would very much recommend, it makes such a difference when you find a great Childminder like this - they really feel like an extension of our little family who also want the very best for our daughter! Thank you again Kate.
I could not recommend this setting enough! From the moment we went to look around and met Iza we knew our son will love this place, and he did!
It is a small intimate setting at her home and that’s exactly what we wanted. We can truly see that she cares for each and everyone, she’s good at updating about what your child was doing though out the day, often with pictures. It is clear to us that she deeply cares about our son and I know he is always safe and happy there.
She make a huge effort to celebrate different occasions, making sure our son plays with different toys, textures and arts. The child proof garden it’s a lovely addition to this house.
Could not recommend Iza enough. She’s a real blessing for our family!!
Izabella has been looking after my son for around 5 months now. He completely loves he's time with her. me and my partner can also see the love she has for him.
She is always professional, and the set up she has in her house is brilliant for the children. We also love how izabella had my son doing different arts and crafts every week, the valentines and Easter cards she sent home with him where super cute and a lovely touch.
I would highly recommend Izabella, she does a great job!!
My son gets excited every time he heads to Serina's home. He absolutely loves playing with all the trains in the playroom and has a blast with the fun outdoor activities in her garden. It's clear that Serina is great with kids—my son is learning so much from her, including a few words in Mandarin!
The meals at Serina's are fantastic; she not only makes homemade food but also offers healthy snacks throughout the day. My son also enjoys playing with Serina's children, who are so well-behaved and welcoming.
Serina has a special talent for connecting with young kids, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys being around them. We completely trust her and would highly recommend her services!

We’ve been with Amanda over 4 years now, she’s looked after my 1st born, from when he was around 2, right up untill school years and my youngest from around 8 months, he’s coming on for 3. Both my boys adore Amanda and so do we. She is wonderful with them. She’s very warm and kind, very hard working and tends to all the children’s needs
Angela is amazing and we use her for all our sitting needs for our little one. She's quick to respond and is very flexible in time. (once got stuck in traffic and we were an hour late.) Shes very accommodating to our needs and wants and she's amazing with our daughter who loves when she comes. Shes also great with pets too. Our dog approves!

Samira has been looking after our two boys, currently aged 4 and 2.5 since just after our little one was born, and she has been a complete godsend to our family. If I had to describe Samira in five words, I would say caring, patient, trustworthy, reliable and capable.
The best thing about Samira is that she treats my children as if they were her own - approaching them with so much care and love. After the birth of my second, I was really struggling with a super active toddler (18months) and a newborn baby. We had a nanny previous to Samira but it didn’t work out, she just didn’t fit in with our family. Samira joined us when our littlest was 3 months and our eldest was 21 months. She came into our lives and made everything so much better, a real life Mary Poppins. She is kind, loving and gentle, and has taught not only our two boys so many things, including how to keep calm and be gentle with one another, but also taught me so much about how to approach my children in difficult situations. I don’t think I would have gotten through the terrible twos without her! She is patient and always is able to explain right and wrong to our children in a gentle way. She has always been very honest and forthcoming in every way.
She is extremely proactive, and thinks of fun activities for the children to do, going out of her way to arrange to take them to soft play and to classes. She also takes care of the things that I’m more reluctant to do with them myself, everything from play dough (my worst nightmare) to cutting their nails! She also thinks up healthy recipes for our children who are vegan.
Other than Mary Poppins, I can also compare her to Marie Kondo - because she keeps our kids clothes in immaculate condition, beautifully folded and organised. In addition to this, every time I would come home from the office after her looking after the kids the house would be nice and tidy (dishwasher stacked etc). In the 2.5 years since she has been with us, she has been so reliable, barely ever been sick, and sometimes when we had emergency situations (or planned ourselves badly) come at short notice
Hiring a nanny is one of the most important decisions in your life - because whoever comes in becomes part of the family and you need to be able to trust that person. Samira is incredibly trustworthy, and has slotted right into our family and household like a hand in a glove - she understands how to read family situations well, and she knows when to step back and give us time as a family and when to take the lead, which I’ve always really appreciated. When we’ve had family or friends around she knows just what to do, being unobtrusive but always really helpful at the same time. As Samira was jointly looking after my kids with me at times but sole charge other times this was a really important skill to me.
She also drives which is a huge positive and I always feel safe with my kids being in her car.
When my husband suggested that we move out of london, my first comment to him was “but we’ll never find another Samira!”. She has formed such a deep and close bond with my two children and I can’t thank her enough for everything that she’s done for our family in the past 2.5 years. It’s not just my kids who love her, we all love her - from myself and my partner, to my mother (who is extremely hard to please!) and even my mother in law. I would 100% recommend Samira as a nanny - it will be the best decision you ever make for your family. We are going to miss her dearly when we move!

I found Nahaid on a fantastic recommendation from another mother whose 2 kids have been looked after by Nahaid for years. Nahaid is a fantastic childminder - she has cared for my 1 year old regularly on a weekly basis, as well as my almost 4 year old when required. She is like a second parent and completely reliable and trustworthy.
She is extremely organised and has a great routine with the kids, always having a fun morning activity to do. Nahaid ensures they eat well and gives great attention to each child. She is flexible and works really well with parents to support us as much as possible. She goes above and beyond to help busy parents and is great with kids and very loving. You can trust Nahaid 100%. I am so lucky and grateful to have found her. Completely recommend
Rosie was great with our little boy, who is almost 2 years old. She arrived promptly and was happy to stay on a longer in the evening. I was a little anxious with it being our first time leaving him with a babysitter, but Rosie was fantastic and stayed in regular contact throughout the evening, which put my mind at ease. Rosie was also happy to put him to bed which really helped and meant we could leave on time. Our little boy was absolutely fine with being left, which was a concern of mine, but he was happy to be sat playing with Rosie and barely noticed us leaving. I would highly recommend her.

Nikki is an absolutely amazing childminder!
From our first visit to Nikki with Henry we knew we wanted Henry to attend her setting!
Henry started with Nikki just after he turned one and Nikki was great at helping him to settle in. She communicated and reassured us throughout the day that Henry was absolutely fine and these regular updates really helped to ease me into leaving Henry to go back to work!
Henry is absolutely thriving in Nikki’s care and he runs in straight in so happily and waves goodbye to me! He gets so excited on the drive to Nikki’s to see all of his friends and of course Nikki! The relationship he has built with the other children is so lovely and so heartwarming to see, especially when Nikki sends us pictures of their day, it’s so lovely to see what they’ve been up to and where they’ve been.
Nikki’s communication is amazing, she always keeps me updated and answers any questions I have. She has such a kind and caring nature and you can see how much she loves the children and the children love her!
Her home is warm and friendly and there are so many toys for the children. She also has a big garden with so many toys! Plus they go out so regularly to parks, music groups and to meet other childminders and their children which is great to extend the children’s socialisation with others!
I would 100% recommend Nikki as a childminder to others, it’s the best decision we made sending Henry to her!
