Nicole has babysat my 3 month old daughter a few times now and she has been so gentle and attentive. Nicole is respectful, punctual and professional. My daughters eyes now light up when she sees Nicole. Nicole is able to adapt to your needs as a parent and to the child's needs. It a joy to hear them playing and singing together. Thank you so much for your help and support with my daughter. I would recommend getting in contact if you need support with your little ones.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Mariana Outram as a childminder for any family seeking exceptional childcare services. I have had the pleasure of entrusting my child to Mariana's care, and I can confidently attest to her outstanding qualities as a childcare provider.
Mariana's dedication to creating a wholesome and nurturing environment for children is truly exemplary. Mariana has cultivated a warm and welcoming setting that fosters a sense of familial comfort. Her commitment to maintaining an organised and structured environment ensures that every child under her care receives the attention and support they need to thrive.
Throughout my child's time under Mariana's care, I have been consistently impressed by her thorough communication and attention to detail. From providing comprehensive updates on daily activities to ensuring that meals and sleep routines are carefully planned and executed, Mariana goes above and beyond to keep parents informed and involved in their child's day-to-day experiences.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my child's time with Mariana has been the diverse range of wholesome activities they have participated in. From engaging in creative arts and crafts projects to enjoying outdoor play and attending playgroups, my child has developed new skills and formed meaningful connections with Mariana and the other children under her care.
In summary, Mariana Outram is an exceptional childminder who demonstrates professionalism, compassion, and genuine care for the well-being of every child she cares for. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any family in need of reliable and nurturing childcare services. Mariana's dedication to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for children truly sets her apart as an outstanding childcare provider.

I needed someone to care for my 8 month old baby whom I had never left with anyone else before. Melissa was super professional, meeting me in advance to understand our needs & routine. As well as following my requests, Melissa had helpful suggestions too.
My baby warmed to Melissa right away due to her confidence and fun, and she kept him stimulated all day, as well as updating me with key information. Overall Melissa seems to be passionate about caring for children and this shines through.
As Melissa said I can confirm her little boy is very happy chilled out little boy who was no trouble whatsoever!
We knew right away Marcia was a good fit. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rory is almost two has been with her a little less than a year. He settled so well and is always happy and excited to see her at drop off. No lie, the kid never once cried at drop off. My experience with Marcia made going back to work much easier knowing my baby was in good hands. We are moving and sadly won’t be able to continue with Marcia. Wish we could bring her with!

Tracey cares for my daughter 2 days a week and I can honestly say her love, care and dedication to her job and the children in her care, is second to none! My daughter adores Tracey and she is thriving in all areas of not just her learning but her fundamental life skills. It is so important for me that I can go to work and never have to worry about the care that my daughter receives as I know she has the best day being in Tracey’s care. We have had the best experience being with Tracey and I love that my daughter looks forward to going there each week. I can’t thank Tracey enough for everything she does for her xx
We have been using Rav Childcare for years! All our three children have been at this setting and they have thrived each time. There's is a very homely approach which is comforting for parents leaving little ones. She's has great communication and delivers child centred care. She's flexible and welcoming too which is amazing. I'd highly recommend if you're in the Kettering area.

My little girl is with Anna for almost two years now and that was the best decision that we could make at the time. Anna is like my daughter second family as we don't have any family close by to help. Anna is absolutely amazing! The care, attention and million activities that she does with children... just Amazing! I can't thank her enough for what she has done for my daughter and for us. Thank you Anna!
Enrica travelled an hour each day for a month to babysit my two year old son. When we found her she didn’t have any reviews so we were a little apprehensive. But so glad we took a chance on her. We are from the US and didn’t know anyone here and of course were nervous about leaving our baby with someone else. She took him out to a nearby park daily, made sure he napped and then fed him. She played with him inside and he absolutely loved her! Don’t hesitate to hire her. Thank you Rica for all of your help and when we are in London again, we’d love to have you!

Rhe took care if my 4 month baby girl only for 2 days, but in that time she definitely made great connection with my baby. She was very attentive, always spending the extra mile to make sure my baby was doing good and was feeling well. They spend time playing, walking outside in the park and cuddling when baby was fussy. She had amazing overall view of her sleeping patters and wake windows. Rhe always made sure she communicated every detail to me at the end of the day, and was trying to give advice regarding sleep schedule, feeding, or any other area i had questions about. Very professional and always on time for our bookings, I would recommend Rhe to every parent!

My son started childminding with Nicola since he was 18 months and he is now 3. I was very nervous as I had two previous not so great experiences but Nicola made the whole process so smooth and my son really took to her. He never cried once which made me feel so much better. Nicola is always happy and bubbly and she is always flexible with changes to the routine. She allows the children to have a voice and has taught my son so many new things and kept track of his development. Nicola was recommended to me through a friend and I'm so glad we met her. She takes the children out daily to playgroup and to different places during the half term. My son always talks about both Nicola and Raj and is always happy when collect him. We get daily photos and updates on how his day went, which always reassures us! What I love the most is that Nicola tracks my son's development and keeps a file of it. Sadly we are relocating which is why we now have to leave but I would definitely recommend her setting, she is amazing 😊
Our son has recently left Wishcroft after 3 wonderful years and didn't want to leave! It really is a very special setting where we had full trust in Sallyann and her team that he was being cared for, loved and supported in all his development milestones.
Sallyann provides a clean, safe home from home environment for the children to play and grow in but above all it's a really fun place. From themed activity and craft days to day trips out (park, library, playgroups, her allotment, forest school) there is so much to keep the children engaged and so many opportunities for them to learn.
Wishcroft provides a truly nurturing environment which supports the children in developing their manners, kindness and friendships. We would highly recommend Sallyann to all parents.
Sara has been providing before and after school care for our son since he joined reception in 2022 and we are very happy with the care provided.
Sara has been able to spend time doing phonics, reading and math with our son during the week which has helped improve his learning and given him time one on one with an experienced teacher.
Sara was able to accommodate our son’s allergy within her care setting and always ensured ingredients were checked for his safety. Sara also arranged for training in the use of epi pens so that she had a full understanding of what to do if a reaction did happen-this really gave us confidence that our son was well cared for.
Sara really welcomed our son into her home and family and he has really enjoyed his time at Sara’s cygnets.
Jennie has been our childminder for both our children. They both have loved their time with Jennie including all the activities, adventures and crafting throughout the years especially the food/snacks created brought home and eaten by us all. All the kids have formed a great bond even though they are different ages and interested in a variety of activities and topics. Jennie effortlessly seems to make it all work. Jennie has been great at communication and been flexible when needed for myself. I would highly recommend Jennie to anyone who has children!!

We trust Ross implicitly, and feel so lucky to have found her. She baby sits our 17month old daughter once a week, and is extremely reliable. Ross has baby sat for us on a weekly basis for nearly a year now, in addition to some adhoc baby sitting requests. Our daughter loves spending time with Ross, and is very comfortable in her company. Ross is kind and caring, and has a wonderful nature which makes playtime before bed a special time for our daughter. As a young family without immediate family local to us, we are grateful for the service Ross offers and could not recommend her enough to other families.
Our son has been with Paula for over 16 months and we are all sad to leave due to a relocation. Paula has gone above and beyond what we would have ever expected, hence our son talks about her daily!
Our son has grown in her home care setting, benefitted from regular day trips and enjoyed socialising with other children through Paula's network of other childminders. Paula has also offered advice when asked and we have been very lucky she has given our son such a good start. Big shoes to fill as we move on.
Jenny has been childminding my two daughters for over two years now. I am extremely happy with the care that my daughters have received, and the great progress they have made whilst in Jenny’s care. Jenny’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and the girls have fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Jenny has a warm, friendly and fair approach which supports the children to feel comfortable and safe and also know and follow healthy boundaries.
Jenny provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. The children regularly go to various playgroups, parks, trips, do arts and crafts, baking and varied activities.
Jenny regularly sends updates throughout the day in the form of notes and pictures which helps me stay involved and updated on my daughters’ day. I am thoroughly happy with the level of care the girls receive and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping them develop into a confident and self assured children.
I would absolutely recommend Jenny as a great and reliable childminder.
Ash is such a lovely person, I was so worried about leaving my 2 young children with anyone as they’d never been away from me before, but they just took to her straight away and all my worries were gone. She has gone above and beyond for me and my children, taking care of them longer than planned at short notice when I was held up at work unexpectedly. She will always be my first choice whenever I require childcare. Thank you for being so wonderful!
Eliz has been visiting my little once a week and she is so understanding and caring with her. She helps her learn some Spanish words and seems to know what games to play in order to keep my LO's interest. When her time is finishing I have to give my little one a heads up that Eliz has to leave because she enjoys it a lot so is sad afterwards.
Highly recommended Eliz

Shannon looked after our 3 girls full time when they were 7, 5 and 1 years old. She is an exceptional childcare professional. The girls loved her enthusiasm, her creativity and her positivity. They are now 12, 10 and 7 and I can still see the impact of her influence on their behaviour. She nurtured their self confidence, creativity and respect for people around them. They love drama and performing and this is something that is certainly rooted in their experience with Shannon. I would highly recommend her as a nanny and assure you that any child she cares for will feel the benefit of her influence for years to come.
