After a very bad experience with a previous child minder, she was like a breath of fresh air. She was patient and attentive with my son. She put our minds at ease and kept my hubby and I up to date with his progress. Nothing was too much to ask. My son blossomed with her and became this confident little boy who sang songs and spoke the hind leg off a donkey!! I cried when we moved areas and had to leave her. I can highly recommend her

Dear K & A

I’m humbled and grateful for the warm and wonderful review!!! It means so much to me!!! The hardest part of my job is saying goodbye to the children, who mean the world to me!!! We are very sad, you moved out of the area but at the same time, I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to look after lovely J. He is a happy, healthy, sweet, cute, cheeky boy, full of life and fun!!! We only had 7 months together but we made the most of it. We grew and learnt so much together!!!! He will be greatly missed by all of us and his friends in the setting, who loved him so dearly!!!

I feel lucky that I met a lovely family like yours!! You and A are happy, warm people and it shows in lovely J as he is so loving with kisses and cuddles!! I'm thanking you both from the bottom of my heart that, you trusted me fully and let me look after little J with a peace of mind, and it does help!! We are going to miss you all so much but remember that you are also part of our extending family!!! If you ever need a helping hand, I'm always here for you!! A big goodbye to all of you, and we wish you the very best of luck for the future!!

Love you all so much!!!

Bubbels has been an amazing addition to our family! She was recommended by a close friend and I could not have been more pleased to meet her.

She has always been a very open and honest communicator and I found this a valuable trait when it came to discussing my children and the days that they had experienced whilst in her care.

Bubbels has taken care of two of my 3 children (both from 9 months old). I have never doubted her ability to look after the boys and after a brief settling in period, they both enjoyed being welcomed into her warm and loving home on a daily basis. She cooked meals, played games and sang on a daily basis. She had, on so many occasions, helped me when I was in a pickle - late from work, needing a babysitter at my house and even having the boys to sleep at her house!

I have recently had a third child who most certainly would have also enjoyed time in Bubbels' care had we not made the decision to move abroad.

We will miss her and her lovely family incredibly when we move! She was like the granny that we never had - a member of our family!

With sincere and heartfelt thanks Bubbels for looking after my children like they were your own! K x

Dear KK,

Thank you so much for the lovely review!!! It means so much to us!!!
I have tears in my eyes as I'm writing this, the fact that we won't be starting our day together with lovely J and A, and those giggles and chuckles anymore ); Time has gone by so fast....They say time flies, when you are having fun!!! I guess it's true. This has been an incredible 3 years for us as we have grown and learned so much together!!!!
We all going to miss you all so much....specially J and A, both boys are so sweet, lovely, cute, cuddly children, who are full of life, love, hugs n kisses!!! I'm so sad that you are moving abroad, so we won't be able see all of you anymore but still hoping that one day you make a special journey to come and meet us. You and P are warm and down to earth people who made my passion for children, more and more better and higher every day by putting all your trust in me!! All of you are part of our extending family!! I'm glad that I had the opportunity to look after lovely J and A, and I came to love you all so much!!! I can't believe, the end is here ); I hate to see you go! Remember all the fun we had, in all the things we did...But most of all remember...All of you are very special to me!!! I will never forget you );

A big goodbye to all of you and wish you all the very best of luck for successful!!! happy life ahead!!! Stay in touch!!!

I'd like to start by saying that I can't believe I got so lucky!
We met 3 years ago when I was heavily pregnant and looking for someone to take care of my oldest girl who just turned 2 years old while I was at the hospital. My and my husband's parents live abroad and couldn't make it for due date due some unexpected circumstances.
Situation was rather stressful but meeting Bubbels put me quickly at ease. And for a good reason!

My girl took very easy to her, very quickly too! She was coming home and excitedly babbling about her experiences, often bringing drawings or singing songs she learned, telling me about friends she made.
So, after I had my second girl, me and my husband decided that maybe we should stick with Bubbels because the benefit for our daughter was obvious.

Soon enough, little sister joined older one and they both were regularly going to Bubbels until older girl had to start school. But she still remembers Bubbels and talks about her a lot, says that misses her and always asks little one about her day at Bubbel's.

Whenever there is family emergency or even me and my husband simply need a night out, Bubbles is our person to go to! Girls treat every visit like an adventure and I get them back in cheery mood, always with their bellies full and eager to tell stories about what they did or learned. For all 3 years, there wasn't single incident or accident, they obviously are well looked after and are in safe environment.

Bubbels is loving, caring and 100% reliable. There were countless times when she gave me a hand even on super short notice. I try not to take it for granted because what she does is wonderful :)
When my girls are with her, my mind is at ease.

Would absolutely recommend, she is best nanny you could wish for!

My son started going to Bubbels in January 2012. I was apprehensive when I started my search for a child-minder and picked a few in the local area to visit. The others all seemed fine and were capable of looking after children however; I knew within five minutes that I wanted Bubbels to look after my son. She is very caring and open and immediately wanted to engage with my son. Within a few minutes, my son was happily playing and even went and sat on Bubbels’ lap for a cuddle!

Prior to going to Bubbels, my son was very shy with new people. During his time with Bubbels, he made some great friends with the other children and his interpersonal skills have grown enormously; this is due to Bubbels’ hard work and patience.

Bubbels cooks fresh meals every day and still has bounds of energy to keep the children entertained with toys, books and trips to the park and local playgroups. Bubbels was also very flexible as I had a few occasions with work where I had to re-arrange days. She was always very understanding and would be happy to accommodate me. My husband and I were able to meet her family and were really impressed by how friendly and polite her children were.

We have now unfortunately moved out of the area and one of my biggest regrets was not being able to take Bubbels with us! I feel very lucky to have found Bubbels to look after my son as I was able to get on with my day secure in the knowledge that my son was being well looked after.

Thank you Bubbels; we really appreciate everything you did for us. We will all miss you very much and J will never forget his time with you.

I started leaving my daughter Maggie with Bubbels when she was 12 months old. Maggie took to Bubbels instantly, as did I. She is a lovely warm lady who has a great way with children.

Bubbels builds in lots of lovely activities to the day, from going to rhyme time in the local library to visiting the local parks. She clearly enjoys spending time with children. I always felt like I was leaving Maggie in extremely capable and experienced hands when I dropped her off to Bubbels in the morning.

Bubbels provides very good quality, healthy food for the children. Maggie is not the best eater at home but always enjoyed the food Bubbels provided and didn't need anything more at home in the evening, which was always great!

I always appreciated how flexible Bubbels was - there was the odd occasion when I didn't get to collect Maggie as soon as I would have liked, it was never a problem. I have also at times asked Bubbels at very short notice to take Maggie, again, never a problem. She really makes a parents life a lot easier, and this is something I really appreciated!

Maggie absolutely loved her time with Bubbels and her family (Bubbels has really lovely children) and misses her enormously to the point where she has named a soft toy after her! We just recently moved, hence the reason Maggie hasn't seen Bubbels for a few weeks, but we will always stay in touch.

Overall I couldn't rate Bubbels highly enough - she is caring, flexible, experienced, a great cook and has really good fun with the kids. She is a rare find, truly first class.
Thank you Bubbels!

I was very nervous to leave my son with someone I did not know but as soon as I met Bubbels I knew I had nothing to worry about and my son absolutely loved her and her family instantly. I can rely on Bubbels always and it is so good to know my son is happy.

I would recommend Bubbels to anyone who wants a loving, safe enviroment for their children. My son has made so many new friends in all the places they go visit but he has especially made friends with a family he will never forget.

Thank you Bubbels for making my son so happy.
All the best

I really appreciate the opportunity you gave me to look after Laura!!!!!

Thanks again for everything,

I've been using Bubbels since my little boy, Jack, was 3 months old. As a new mom I was really anxious the first time I left my baby with her but felt reassured by her calm manner.

I feel fine about leaving Jack as I know he's being well looked after. There are loads of toys to play with inside but Bubbles also does acitivities like taking him to the park, music classes, or singing. With my permission, Bubbles takes photos of Jack during her care and he always has a smile on his face.

I use Bubbles on an ad-hoc basis and find her to be very flexible and accommodating. I feel lucky to have found Bubbles and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

I had a interview with this childminder and she is the most caring, warm, happy, down to earth person you will meet.
Any parent/s would be lucky to have this lady care for their little ones.

Best Wishes
