since my daughter has joined Nev, she has improved across the board, especially in her communication and independence. she settled in immediately after having a rough time at a large nursery and even asks to see Nev on weekends now :) there are always tons of activities, games and experiences when she is at Nevs and i know she is in absolute amazing hands. she loves her veggies and there is no doubt that she will have amazing home cooked meals throughout the day while in her care. Nev pays attention to the childrens individual needs and learning stages and keeps me updated daily with pictures and news. Nev is indispensable and a part of our family :)
Amanda has looked after my son for 4-5 years and she cannot be faulted. Superb reliability, excellent care conditions and one of the few people outside of family and friends that I completely trust with my little one (though less little these days!). It has been our privilege to have her help us during this time and we welcome any enquiries asking for verification of this review. It cannot be understated enough how we 100% recommend Amanda, you would never regret it or look back. Thank you Amanda and hope you see this!
Auntie Ro looked after my little handsome boy, from 1ish . It was my first time using childminder , my son loves auntie Ro , she’s well organised, give you feedback about my son’s daily routine, my son loved her food fresh food made every day. She plans different activities with him, they go out in the garden , she takes out to soft play area and library. My little boy will miss her so much thank you for all your support!!!
Tabassum has looked after our son for just over a year now and we have been very happy with the care that she has given. He's a busy boy and she has a great array of indoor and outdoor activities to keep him entertained.
She is always punctual, cheerful and polite and the children she cares for are always happy to be with her. Tabassum regularly takes the children to local playgroups to meet other children and experience other settings which I think is really important. They regularly bake together and do craft activities. I have always felt happy that my child is safe in her care and would be happy to be a reference.
Contacted Ellie and interviewed for a live out nanny job, with only looking after our child as a job description, no cleaning, no cooking, solely looking after our child, offering flexible hours and a monthly salary.
Ellie agreed a trial shift, from there we offered a job and she agree on taking the job.
Two of her references come back negatives and misleading as we find out she has no childcare qualification and no first aid.
We had a good feeling on interview and trial so we decided to give her a shot and maybe support her with her qualifications.
We drafted a contract and when it was time to send the contract over, after going awol for a bit and ignoring call and text messages - Ellie told us she has taken another job.
Very unprofessional- poor commitment - poor communication.

My son has been with Ally's Tiney Nursery since January 2024. We were immediately drawn to her warm and loving nature when we first met her. She is incredibly professional, friendly, and my son always enjoys his time with her. The setting is warm and welcoming, with plenty of toys to keep the children entertained and continuously learning.
Ally provides me with frequent updates on my son, his progress and development as well as his areas of need. Her reports are meticulous, thorough and child-focussed, with detailed advice, suggestions and guidance on how to carry over the support into the home setting. I am pleased to see him thriving in her setting.
Ally is conscientious, dedicated, forward-thinking, genuine and a trustworthy childminder. She goes above and beyond to ensure my son reaches his full potential and he loves his time at her nursery. I value her and would highly recommend her.
Sushila has a good setup and manages our daughter well. My daughter is very happy to visit the childminder. Most important aspect is that Sushila is very flexible with regards to time. She keeps the kids occupied with activities and fun learning arrangements. I totally recommend this childminder anyone who is looking for a child minder within the area.
Thank you so much for the care you provide to my daughter!!
I am thankful to Punom for looking after my kids on a couple occasions now. I found her to be extremely reliable, capable, and friendly. She ticks all the boxes and more, I couldn't ask for anymore and would be delighted to use her services again in the future.
She is simply amazing !!
She goes above and beyond in her job, ensuring not only the safety and well-being of my baby but also fostering an environment where he thrives. Her Setting is very clean, organised and full of very interesting activities to stimulate differents areas of learnings.
What sets Rahma apart is her genuine kindness and dedication.
My baby's happiness is evident every time I drop him off and pick him up - he absolutely adores going to Rahma's place!
Moreover, Rahma is incredibly helpful, always ready to offer support and guidance whenever needed. As a new parent, her advice has been invaluable to me, and I'm truly grateful for her expertise.
I feel so fortunate to have her in our lives. Thank you sooo much Rahma :)
We feel exceptionally lucky to have Julia as a childminder. Julia combines a fantastic, welcoming, gentle, caring, and kind demeanour with professionalism and thoroughness. I have absolute confidence that our son (2 years old) will be safe, well-looked after, and have a wonderful time. Julia's activities and toys just seem to be really well-chosen: it's easy to see from Julia's regular updates and photos how much our son enjoys his time there, and also that he's really learning, and developing his understanding of the world. The focus on nature and being outdoors is a real bonus. The children regularly do unusual and inspiring crafts, and these seem to be really well-designed; our son will often continue to engage with the crafts after he's brought them home (e.g. talking about them, or incorporating them into his play). In other settings, our son has sometimes had some difficulties settling, but he just seems to love Julia's company and activities: if we tell him in the evening that he's going to Julia's the next day, he often says he wants to go there straight away! We also really appreciate Julia's reassuring communications and updates.
Donna and Lee took care of our son Grover for two years, between the ages of 16 months and 3.5. They have a great setting with a really lovely outdoor space. Grover loved attending and seeing what they had in store. It seemed they always had good activities, in line with the seasons and fun outings. I appreciate the care they took with Grover and sent us plenty of updates everyday. Thank you both!

Doesn't offer "home cooked meals" as stated. More often than not my children would be fed fish fingers and chips and mostly, other oven food.
Completely unable to cope with children without additional needs let alone children with them! Constantly stressy, snapping or outright mean to the children (which was noted by a number of different family members who collected my kids from Claire).
After receiving this message from a nanny friend of mine who knew nothing about the problems we experienced with Claire, this was when I decided to stop using her childminding services:
"I don't know the whole story cos I couldn't hear but I've just walked past your childminder holding onto both of ****'s hands as if she's almost restraining him, she was walking fast and it looks like she was almost dragging him where he's trying to catch up with her and then cos it's crowded I couldn't see properly but looked like she slapped his hands (I can't garante that I 100% saw that though) to me, the whole thing just looked a little bit aggressive, and it was down the school in public, just worried me a bit for him if that's in public what does she do behind closed doors?... in the same breathe it could have looked worse than what it actually was but I obviously had to tell u what I saw, I wanted to go over there to see if he was okay but ***** was running towards the road so had to run after him and then when I went back couldn't find them! Just something maybe you should ask him when you see him later. I'm happy to chat on phone to explain what I saw if you want xxxxx"
I would post the actual screenshot of the conversation unfortunately, the site doesn't give the option. After a string of incidences, I spoke with the safeguarding officer at my children's school and was advised to report to the LADO.

Dawn came to my rescue in my hour of need! I needed help on a particular day for a period of time. Despite needing some much deserved time to herself she offered me her help. It was instrumental in getting my ducks back in line!
My son settled in immediately and I felt equally cared for. Dawn’s attention to detail with his routine was exceptional and her menu choices were delicious.
Our arrangement was only temporary however I wouldn’t think twice for having Dawn look after my son full time. We will miss her a lot.
Kirby is really experienced lady that we can trust.
My baby loves her and happy to stay with.
High recommended.

Julie has looked after 3 of my boys on different occasions, my oldest son then further down line my twins.
All 3 come on leaps and bounds in Julie’s care, very home from home environment. My boys are older now but still remember Julie and are very fond of her, so much so they ask to still go visit her 😅
Jude instantly built a rapport with the boys with her lovely manner.
She attended to their needs both together, and to their individual requirements.
Frankie (4), even commented the next day "i love the girl that looked after us last night".
Would definitely recommend and will certainly ask Jude to help again!
