Aliya is very friendly and reliable woman. When she met the children, they immediately warmed up to her and she took the time to get to know them and make them comfortable.
Aliya is great at communicating and I can call onto her in an emergency! She has been amazing support for a single parent like me.

We cannot thank Sharon enough for the incredible care and support she has provided with our child Annie. After struggling to settle at a nursery, we were worried about finding the right place, but from day one Sharon made such a difference.
With her warmth, patience and nurturing approach, our child has gone from being unsettled and anxious to happy, confident and excited to go to each day. A smaller homely setting and the individual attention has really helped our child annie feel comfortable and secure. We have noticed such a positive change and it is so reassuring to us parents
Annie is now is so confident happy and active even when she gets back home which is so good to see
Sharon is a very kind and humble human always ready to help. She has supported me with childcare in my most difficult phase of life. We are so grateful to have found Sharon and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for safe, loving and supportive environment for their child
My little girl had been to two previous settings (a childminder and nursery) and it just wasn’t the right fit! She has been here for over a year and a half now and I do not believe anything in this area compares! They get to experience so much going out on trips constantly whether it be to the farm, library, soft play, ferry or parks etc. My little girl is always experiencing new things and being taught so much. Kirsty is literally like a second mum to her and Gigi adores her and the other ladies who work with Kirsty. Amazing setting with incredible staff ❤️
Shabnum has cared for my now 1 year old son for several weeks. She is excellent at engaging with him and puts him at ease very quickly. She is very efficient and helps complete tasks during his naps. Shabnum is always punctual and has been flexible with last minute requests. She goes the extra mile and is a very caring person. I would highly recommend her as a babysitter or childminder.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Rachael! From the very beginning, she has provided a warm and nurturing environment for our child. She is both professional and genuine.
Rachael has been looking after our son since he was 7 months old, and during this time, he has learned so much!
Most importantly, our son absolutely adores her, and we couldn't be happier knowing that he is in such caring and capable hands. We highly recommend her!

We have been with Kirsten and George for seven weeks now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide for our daughter. From day one, they have been incredibly kind, caring, and supportive, making the transition into childcare so much easier for us as first-time parents. They created a warm and welcoming environment where our daughter feels happy and settled, and we feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care. Their attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for what they do truly shines through. We are so grateful to have found them!

Carmen is quite simply incredible. She’s warm, kind and nurturing, cooks delicious home made food and has become what feels like a second mama to our son.
It’s hard enough leaving your child in someone’s care but she makes it so much easier and it feels like a home from home. From a mother to another.
She’s so accommodating for all needs, requests and last minute issues that arise and always puts herself out there to help and support.
Raffy is with her 5 days a week and has been since he has been 9 months old. He is 3 now and ready to start nursery but feel so much anxiety and sadness about having to say goodbye. She’s played such an important and unforgettable role in his childhood and we will be forever grateful for her.
Thank you Carmen, for everything and so much more. Love Martina and Raffy xxx Te amo xxx
I highly recommend Padma for any parent looking to support their child's education in English and Maths. The combination of expertise, personalised attention, and a positive learning environment has truly transformed my daughter's attitude toward these subjects. We look forward to continuing our sessions and watching her grow even more!
Kim has been so informative and professional from the very start; her childcare qualifications (plus First Aid, Food Safety etc) gave us the reassurance we needed in changing our family's childcare arrangements and withdrawing them from everything that was familiar to them. After having some issues with our original nursery, we were hesitant to make the switch but it turned out to be the best decision we could have made for our family. We thought this would be so much harder than it actually was - instead our children have been thriving. They've settled in so well; settling sessions worked alongside our previous nursery commitments so we didn’t lose out on childcare either way, it was on our terms so that we felt comfortable and it suited the kids routines.
She has listened to our guidance, responded to our children as we would, respected their needs and hasn’t tried to conform them to adult routines. The setting itself has a lot of space for the kids. A large garden with plenty of things outdoors to keep the children busy. Inside the living area, conservatory and dining areas have an amazing selection of toys, role play/dress up, books and crafts. She does baking with them. There's toddler furniture, a tent and she is so creative in adapting her environment for the kids. There is so much to do and they could never get bored.
Pro’s for parents: Fees are fair with no hidden costs; TFC/funded hours accepted. All food is included for the kids - breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. The menu is varied and can be tweaked for the individual child if needed; but it has good variety and is home-cooked. The Nursery cat Tommy is very friendly and super cute. Parking right outside the door; great for us as it’s safe if you have more than one child when you’re doing dropoff on your own! Daily app updates and photos – we never have to chase to see what the kids are up to. No charges/financial penalty if you go on holiday as long as you give 2 weeks notice – finally someone who understands families!
We honestly wish we had found Kimmy’s earlier. She is a calm and patient person, very approachable and understanding. There is a level of communication and trust that we didn't have our previous childcare setting and we feel our children are in the best place they could be.
I have 3 children that attend Bee Happy Childcare, all since they were 9 months old. They have flourished under Kirsty's care and enjoy going out, learning and having fun at the childminders. Couldn't rate her high enough!!
They enjoy amazing days out, individualised learning, SEN support and have been taught amazing social skills, I am blessed to have found them a home away from home.
I felt confident from the moment I met Amber that my daughter would be in safe and caring hands. Amber is a wonderful childminder with personable warm and down to earth approach. I always find her very accessible, flexible and attentive to my daughter’s needs and proactive at raising any concerns.
My daughter absolutely adores Amber and her entire family and is always excited to spend time with them. Amber’s setting makes for a nurturing home from home environment where my daughter has access to an extensive range of suitable toys to engage with and stimulate her growth and development. She always comes home excited to tell me what she got up to that day.
I feel truly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder in Amber and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Jess has been looking after my little boy for around 7 months now . She is always on time is really flexible if am running late from work . He absolutely loves her she always does arts and crafts making cards and pictures for me. I never have to worry leaving him as I know he’s having the best time . She also cleans up when he’s in bed too which I appreciate so much . I can’t recommend her enough
I'm so happy we found Anita. She looked after my two boys (23 months old and 4 years old) and was brilliant with them. The first thing my 4 year old said the day after she left was 'Can I have another playdate with Anita?'. She is very warm, kind and caring, and amazing at keeping the children entertained. It's obvious she's a natural with children and knows how to talk to and engage with them. She gets involved with all the games they want to play: whether it's playing with cars, board games, hide and seek, or drawing. During the evening Anita sent me updates with photos of how the boys were getting on, which I found very reassuring and kind of her, and I could see they were having a great time and being well looked after. Anita is very experienced, professional and reliable, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to others :)
Marie is so caring, understanding , patient and loving. From the start she reassured me and updated me on all matters concerning my son, that he settled in no time.
My son started with Marie when he was 8 months ….Marie took time to help wean him and made sure that he had eaten all his lunch (a task that usually took me a long time) somehow she was able to improve his eating skills and ensure he eaten enough. As well as this she is very loving that my son started calling her Mama which shows he was starting to build a good attachment. She is a good judge of character and can read what children need as well as playful and calm. I also started my second son who is 3 with Marie and he loved going to Marie every Monday and Friday! Marie knows all the local playgroups in the area and will ensure your child is entertained throughout and ensures they eat well! She helped me a lot especially at times were I may have been running late she was flexible , patient and understanding. We felt like a second family to Marie as she looked after my children like her own. Thanks again Marie 🩷
Pamela has made such a difference to our family life.
My husband and I are confident enough to plan evenings out together knowing Pamela and her fabulous husband Brian will look after our daughter.
Pamela regularly looks after our daughter through the week so I can have some time off to myself or get some work done. My daughter beams when Pam arrives. ‘Nanny Pam’ has to be one of my daughter’s most loved people.
Just wonderful!

Mamie is very lovely, caring and passionate about the children she looks after.
My daughter loves and adores her.
She is very kind and committed to her work.
Very flexible and always willing to work with our shift patterns.
I am happy to recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.
