My daughter has been attending for a while, she is so well looked after, and returns home happy. I couldnt have found a better place, they are just BRILLIANT 🫶🫶
My daughter went to Davina for almost a full year and she has loved every second of it. The setting is kitted out beautifully with lots of resources and opportunities for learning and development. Socially my daughter has come on leaps and bounds in the last year and her confidence has improved. Davina has been very supportive of her development and independence including toilet training which has been of great help to us as a family. I would recommend Davina to other parents looking for a safe and fun-filled environment for their little ones. Thank you Davina and all the best. X

I looked at and visited many childminders before making my decision and I am really glad I found Karina. My little one has been going to Heron's nest for over a year (since she was 2yo) and I could not be happier with the setting and the care Karina and her team provide to my daughter. She really struggled with separation anxiety and Karina was incredibly helpful and accommodating to make sure we could find a way to help her settle gently, adapting to her needs and helping her to feel safe. I love the gentleness of the setting and how children's emotional growth is fostered, this is something that is very important to me. They are also exposed to many activities and each week or month they have a theme they are learning about and some lovely project or artwork to take home. It feels like the best of both worlds, it is very much organised like a mini nursery so that children get to learn lots whilst also maintaining the personal touch that really helps children to thrive. I can see that my little one has grown in confidence so much and loves going to Heron's nest. I would highly recommend Karina and always do when asked by others mothers about my experience.
Mahnoor has been a fantastic childminder for my little one. From day one, her bubbly and friendly nature made my daughter feel right at home. It's clear that Mahnoor genuinely cares about my daughter as she creates a safe and welcoming environment where she can thrive.​
Mahnoor has a knack for making my daughter feel comfortable and valued, which has done wonders for her confidence!
The activities Mahnoor plans are always engaging and really take into account each child's interests. Whether it's arts and crafts, storytelling, or outdoor adventures, my daughter always has something exciting to look forward to.
Mahnoor also regularly keeps me updated on my daughter's progress, sharing the little milestones and achievements that mean so much to me.
My daughter always recalls the activities and days she's had with enthusiasm and always looks forward to the next. The affection she speaks about Mahnoor with shows the positive impact she's had on my daughter.
I can't recommend Pooja aka Mrs. Sharma enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with my daughter, who adored her from day one and still does even after starting school. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine love for children make her truly special. Not only did she provide a safe and nurturing environment, but she also taught my little one so many amazing things that helped in her early learning and development. The level of care, patience, and dedication she shows is unmatched. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our child’s early years, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and experienced childminder. Thank you for everything you do! ❤️
My little girl has been with Jacqui since she was 6 months old she is now 2.5 years and is the most social, well behaved, happy, adventure loving little girl. Nothing is ever too much for Jacqui she is patient, outgoing and passionate about all the children that she looks after.
I wouldn’t want my little girl to be with anyone else, my daughter practically runs out the house every morning to go!

Amanda’s Setting was the first childminder I approached, and I knew right away it was the perfect choice. Her warm approach and well-structured environment made my decision easy—so much so that I chose her almost a year before my son was due to start. In the short time he was there, he settled in quickly and thrived, developing independence, key life skills, and a love for learning. Amanda’s dedication is truly remarkable. I was gutted when we had to leave due to a change in circumstances, but I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

Herons Nest has truly been a home away from home for my boys. Karina and her wonderful team of qualified assistants provide such a warm, nurturing, and professional environment. From the very beginning, they showed incredible patience in helping my son settle in, making sure he felt comfortable and supported every step of the way. Now, both of my boys absolutely love their time there, which gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Herons Nest to any parent looking for a caring and safe setting for their little ones!

I interviewed Ana as she was ofstead registered and I was looking for a nanny that would accept government subsidies as I’m sure most of us are. She was lovely and my son seemed to like her as well. However she later said she would not be accepting the funds and would prefer getting paid in cash weekly. I don’t have experience with her as nanny but would think it’s best to specify on her page so to not have parents waste their time. It is a difficult journey finding a caretaker for your child and a very pricey one. I know a lot of parents are looking for someone to accept government funds outside of nurseries and childminders so if this is you I would avoid Ana. This is nothing against Ana, I’m sure she is amazing.

My 2 year old daughter has been going to Cheryl's for over a year now and she absolutely loves Cheryl.
We originally had another childminder, but suddenly had to find another one when ours had to unexpectedly stop childminding. Despite not having all the days available that we needed at the time, we decided to go with Cheryl for the days she did have and she assisted us with finding a temporary alternative for the one day she was full until a space became available. This was so lovely of Cheryl to help accommodate us.
From the start I could tell it was the right setting for my daughter. She seemed happy from our first meeting and settled in quickly playing with the other children.
Cheryl does so much with the children, doing something with them pretty much every day going to soft plays, garden centres, nature trails and so much more. They also visit a toddler group twice a week with other childminders, so they do lots of messy play and other activities in a wider setting. This gives a lovely mix of a personal homely setting and more of a playgroup setting, interacting with other kids. As a mum that did lots of activities and classes with my daughter on maternity leave, I knew I wanted someone that would do similar activities with her and Cheryl does this perfectly.
The childmindees also really do become part of the family. Her two boys are so good with all the kids too, which is so lovely to see. My daughter loves them both so much.
We've been so happy we found Cheryl. She's so easy to talk to and she works with us as parents through any challenges. I highly recommend Cheryl.
Lisa is amazing, we wish we had been able to have her look after all of our children! Our youngest has been going to Lisa since she was 18 months and is now going off to nursery - we will all be very sorry to say goodbye. Lisa provides a wonderfully warm, caring, homely setting with plenty of space for them to explore, and so many toys! Her garden is lovely and she sets up brilliant outdoor activities when the weather allows. They get out to playgroups so have a chance to socialise with other children, and do lots of lovely crafts at home with Lisa. She cooks delicious home cooked meals and provides ample snacks.
But most of all she is incredibly loving, caring and generous, giving each of them what they need on an individual level as well as ensuring they have fun playing all together. We would thoroughly recommend Lisa, and will miss her lots!
I’m incredibly grateful to Zahra for her care, warmth and professional approach to my children. She always comes on time, has a cheerful, friendly personality and finds a common language with each child. My three children quickly fell in love with her because she knows how to play, entertain and at the same time be attentive and responsible. I feel comfortable leaving my children with her, knowing that they are in good hands.
I highly recommend this wonderful nanny to anyone who is looking for a reliable and loving person for their kids!

I honestly can’t think of anyone else who would love, care, and look after my children so well. She is part of our family now. Teresa provides outstanding care, I have 3 boys and she’s looked after all of them over the years. My last little baby boy Noah, often asks for Teresa over me! Heehee. She really does provide outstanding care. She always goes above and beyond. She helps me out, and makes sure my little boy is a happy soul. She has fun activities always planned, her schedule is jam ps led with educational resources and fun, library trips, soft plays, outings, parks, play groups! You name it, Teresa is doing it with the young kids. Lots of painting and playing and developing fine and gross motor skills. She’s an exceptional person too. I am so fond of Teresa, and so are all three of my boys. She really is one of a kind. I feel blessed that instead of big nursery classes, I found Teresa. The level of one to one she gives to each child is amazing and my Noah is incredibly happy, loved and settled. Outstanding support and care, thank you Teresa.
Jamila and her family are great!
She’s very caring and passionate. She plans different activities every week and both my children are very happy to attend.
She cooks fresh food every day and kids love eating there.
The garden is amazing! Full of toys and a big trampoline !
Jamila is flexible and always tries to accommodate our high needs.
I couldn’t recommend her more!!!
Our daughter has been going to Ani since she was 11 months old, and has thrived in her safe and caring environment. She absolutely loves Ani and Lilla, and is always excited to go.
Being around the other children and with lots of experiences to stimulate her, has meant her speech has rocketed and she has grown in confidence massively.
Ani worked closely with me when my daughter was transitioning to one nap and was very accommodating in helping that go as smoothly as possible.
My daughter always comes out well fed and a very happy little girl. We get pictures of all the fun things they do and I honestly couldn’t recommend Ani and her setting highly enough - I am so grateful to know that my daughter is in excellent hands whilst clearly having the time of her life!
Thank you Ani and family!
SI'm so excited to have found the Mayor! My daughter is happy when she comes to her in the morning and I go to work peacefully! I highly recommend it! Take care of the children, send me a photo/video every day! The children are in a clean environment! I am very happy because since she went to Prinari my daughter didn't catch a cold! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

“An amazing and caring childminder! ❤️ She keeps the kids engaged with fun activities—reading, coloring, library visits, playgroup, and park trips. 🌳📚 A safe and welcoming place! She’s super flexible with my schedule, and my son loves it so much he wants to go every day, even though he’s only meant to go three times a week! So grateful to have found her. I highly recommend!
