Our little boy has been with Farrah for almost a year now and we continue to be really pleased with the care he receives. She is so caring towards him and Farrah is truly passionate about caring for children. She facilitates some lovely play and learning experiences for the children and does her upmost to keep their routine. I would fully recommend Farrah to any parents looking for a homely environment for their children.

We found Farrah’s after our baby’s first nursery shut down overnight. Farrah invited us in and we knew from the first meeting that our baby would be happy, healthy, and engaged there. The other children there were very playful and welcoming to her, and she approached Farrah without her usual hesitancy.
She started at Farrah’s very soon after that first visit. Her appetite has improved, she has become more playful and talkative, and comes home happy and chatty. Farrah provides helpful updates at the end of the day and can provide open, clear answers to any questions. She also works with us to address any issues or concerns.
A brilliant childcare provider who shows she cares about children and their development every day!

My son has been with Farrah from around 10 months. He is now 13 months and really enjoys going there. When we pull up outside the house, he is always kicking his legs and excited to go in. I love the fact that Farrah is only a text message away and has treated my son as if he is one of her own children. I can’t recommend enough!

My little one has been with Farrah since she was 5.5 months old. She is almost 10 months and really flourishing. She loves the environment and gets excited when I drop her off which shows me she is happy there. She is ahead of her milestones and as a first time mum Farrah has communicated every stage with me to help me support her development and to ensure she gets consistency out of all her caregivers. I trust her wholeheartedly with my little one and would recommend her services to anyone.

Words can not write how amazing this lady is!! My child absolutely loves going every day! The care he receives is amazing. This is the first time I’ve left my child and I wouldn’t have wanted to leave him with anyone else. Farrah is so understanding and takes her time to ensure he is happy and content! Nothing is ever too much!

Farrah has been amazing with out little girl. She hadn’t been with anyone else because of covid. Returning to work , after maternity leave, Farrah was brilliant at calming us and our daughter. She has been at Cheeky Charlie’s for over 8 months now and the progress she is making is all down Farrah. She knows numbers, colours and animals and their noises. Farrah is great at reassuring you and messages us to let us know that she’s settled. She’s provides a home from home for our little girl and she loves it there. She always says Farrah’s name when at home and asks for her. Our daughter started doing 2 days a week and now goes 4 times a week. She waves us goodbye at the door and goes happily to Farrah..what more could we ask for! She goes above and beyond for our little girl and we’d definitely be lost without her . It’s hard trusting somebody with your child and we were apprehensive about leaving our daughter. After a few weeks of adjusting to a new routine our daughter quickly settled and now she doesn’t look back. One in a million she is xx

My son has been with Farrah for a year now and has honestly loved it from his first day. I feel so at ease waving him off in a morning because I know he will be cared for like one of Farrah’s own children. It’s a real home from home for him, with lots to keep him busy. Communication between Farrah and myself is great too, she is always only a message away. Can’t thank her enough for the care my child receives when he is with her.

My little boy has been going 2 Farrah for over 16 months and he loves it, he has come on so much in his social skills colours, counting etc. From a parent view she is amazing friendly makes you feel so at ease especially for a stress head mom like me. She offers a very happy welcoming home, Even during all the covid stuff she has continued to be amazing and put me fully at ease. Me & my boy would be lost without her & will be gutted when my boy leaves 4 school. Not just childminder she makes the kids feel like her family. Highly recommend.

My daughter has been attending farrah’s setting for just under a year. Never left her before as we have no family local. Farrah is very welcoming, chatty and bubbly and we just felt at ease, Her home is clean and there are plenty of toys to keep the children busy. Our daughter was a little clingy and had a few tears at first but after a week she was fine, I would text and call to see how she was and farrah would reply which just put my mind at ease while I was at work. My daughter has a daily dairy which farrah writes in every day to tell us what she has done throughout the day, nappy changes, sleeps and meals and also tells us on collection. My daughter has thrived, and is hitting all her milestones, and her learning journey is fabulous! Communication, a bond between childminder and my child and someone I could call a friend was what I was looking for and I got this when I found farrah. She bends over backwards to help out in any way possible, If you are looking for a childminder, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

My son has been with Farrah from when he was 9 months old, at the start it was hard going back to work and leaving him as he did cry. Farrah was amazing on making me feel better leaving him also obviously making my son feel better as after a week or so he was fine with me leaving him. Farrah’s home as such a welcome feel for the children and my son has come on so much since being there. Farrah is so helpful also if I need her for extra days or i need days swapping. Just so friendly and caring, love her.

Farrah has been nothing short of a godsend. My husband and I are both students with a very demanding timetable and thought we'd never find a babysitter.
Luckily we found everything we needed when we found Farrah. She is trustworthy, has a wonderful demeanour and has always helped out when we've been truly desperate.
Our son comes back bubbly and full of smiles, and we can only thank Farrah for that. He always has lots of activities to participate in, and she gives us regular feedback on how he's getting on. She is a one of a kind babysitter. Farrah, we are grateful for everything you do.

We were looking for a full time childminder due to a change in circumstances, after a bit of research we came across Farrah's profile..and what a find it was. Farrah and Toni do an amazing job, they have looked after my son Rhys for 4 months and he has loved every minute with them. Farrah creates a warm and friendly environment and it's easy to see the love and patience she has for every child she looks after. Rhys has flourished under their care and they have been a massive help with consistent potty training. Farrah is very flexible, even looking after my daughter over the Easter holidays at short notice. Thank you so much girls! Would recommend your service to anyone xx

Our one year old daughter Ellie has been with Farrah for around eight months now and she loves going - Farrah is so welcoming and friendly and she really put our mind at ease when we first went to see her. Ellie has developed tremendously and due to being around other kids which has given her well-developed social skills at a very early age.
Farrah is also really accommodating and flexible in terms of our schedule - sometimes we don't pick Ellie up until 6:30pm due to work, and this has never been a problem.
Farrah is also a naturally friendly and warm person, with a lot of patience and care for the children she looks after.

I have been using Farrah for 6 years now and only have good to say... my son Bailey absolutely loved it as a baby/toddler and still goes now as Farrah picks him up from school for me which Makes it possible for me to work longer hours, he has a great relationship with both Farrah and Toni and also farrahs children... my daughter Sophia struggled at first being away from me but it didn't take long for her to settle in and now loves going and gets excited! There is plenty for the children to do and they never get board... would definitely recommend cheeky Charlie's to anybody that wants a fun and friendly environment for their little ones!

I would recommend Farrah to anyone. She is very caring and helpful. As it was my first time using a childminder I was very nervous about leaving my son as everyone is, there was no need for me to worry as my son came out beaming and still does now. He's been attending cheeky charlies for a year now and still loves going. He comes out with smiles and a very happy child. I couldn't ask for anything more from Farrah as I know my child is well looked after. If I text or phone with any questions they are answered ASAP so my mind is always put to rest. I would recommend Farrah to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy childminder.

I just want to add a little review about our experience of using Cheeky Charlies childminder services.
Our daughter has been going there since she was 8 months old. She is now 2 1/2 and the development we have seen in her since being here has been amazing. Farrah is a very kind, patient and caring person and when we first went to see her she put us at ease immediately and we felt comfortable with having our daughter left in her care. Due to personal circumstances we are sadly having to leave the childcare setting and we are genuinely sad about this. Our daughter absolutely loves going to see Farrah, her own children and the other children in the setting. Everything is catered for in terms of safety, play, education and social skills and we could not wish for anything better than what Farrah has done for our daughter. Our daughter always has a variety of things to do each day such as:
Going to the park / wacky warehouse
Free Play
Dancing
Singing
Role Play
Dressing Up
Painting and colouring;
Not to mention all of the educational tasks and activities.
The house itself is safe, clean, spacious as well as smoke and pet free.
We would not hesitate in recommending Cheeky Charlies to any parent. We have never had a single complaint, concern or query about any aspect of the service provided. My advice to anybody reading this is snap up a place as soon as you can. Farrah is absolutely brilliant at what she does and the prices are by far the best around.
We would like to say a big thank you to Farrah for everything over the last 2 years. She has been a part of our daughters life, she has seen her growing up and has been a massive contributary factor in her development.
We just want to end by saying I would rate Cheeky Charlies 10/10 without hesitation.
Thank You

My son has been looked after by Farrah for around 5 months now, he started just before his 1st birthday, he only goes 1 day a week but he loves it, I feel he receives excellent care and stimulation whilst with Farrah and would highly reccomend her services to everyone.

I have only joined this site to leave a review for my childminder as I think she is fab!!
My child has been with Farrah now for a year and a half and started when she was 9 months old.
At our first meeting we knew Farrah was the right person to care for our child, she is very welcoming and had a lovely childcare setting. We started our child with settling in sessions at first to see how she would take to the setting and within 3 weeks she attended full time.
Farrah is a lovely person and has the patience of a saint :) she cares so much for the children in her care.My Childs learning and development are so much advanced for her age, I think this has a lot to do with Farrah and Claire (assistant) They plan their activities daily and encourage children in all sorts so there always entertained.
I am always informed what my child has done, ate, nappy changes, sleeps ect on collection, but Farrah does offer a daily dairy also that explains all the above.
I would and have recommended Farrah to others as I think she is absolutely fab and couldn’t of asked for a better person to care for our child I am 100% happy with Farrah’s childcare services.
