Abi and her team have been amazing. My daughter has been with her for the last two and a bit years and her development during that time, she has come on leaps and bounds, I couldn’t be more pleased she is well ahead of where I would expect her to be.
I had initially started my daughter at a local nursery but after so many promises about how amazing they are supposed to be I could tell she wasn’t happy it was a big church hall and so cold and incredibly noisy everyday and she was just five months old, I had initially visited a few childminders before the nursery and was quiet impressed and I didn’t realize they deliver exactly the same Ofsted early years education and standards as nurseries, but Abi’s setting was a real eye opener, she has converted the whole ground floor and garden into a private nursery, it’s simply stunning but also has that caring warm home from home vibe and the smell of home cooked food at pick up omg. I get lots of updates and pictures during the day unlike the previous place.
Abi is wonderful, warm and kind easy to get on with and very knowledgeable, I didn’t even know we could claim some allowances towards the costs which was a great help.
My daughters development has exceeded all my expectations she has many friends and for her age she is ahead of her peers.
To Abi and the girls a big thank you 🙏 and to anyone reading this I would highly recommend visiting abi,s setting before making any decisions about childcare as it really sets the standard.
PS I felt some guilt going back to work but when you know your child is being cared for and loved and having a great time that feeling just melted away, also I noticed the fees work out lower than the nursery and that’s also important these days with the cost of living 😊 Elianna 👩🏼⚕️

Abi is pretty much the perfect childminder any mother could dream of. She has a heart of gold, always caring, polite and professional. My daughter loved going to Abi and her team. We never felt like she was going to a childminder, she was going to another home :)
My daughter loved eating at Abi's , so always a plus side!
Would highly recommend Abi and her team, miss you all so much, especially my daughter ❤

Our son Sol absolutely ADORED going to Abi’s house. He had so much fun painting, jumping on the trampoline, reading and doing other fun activities with her. Abi is caring, kind, very safe and professional and her space is a dream. Sending love to Abi- we all miss you, especially Sol!

Abigail runs a fantastic Childcare service with very professional staff, she provides every aspect of childcare and has been an extremely kind and generous to me in looking after my 2 children. Abigail and her staff are kind, caring and loving in their care for my children and have looked after them as they would their own children. I have nothing but praise for Abigail’s child minding service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for that special person to care for their children.

Abi is absolutely amazing!
From the first time I went to see her I knew she would be the right person to look after my 10 month old. As a parent it’s very scary to leave your little one at such a young age but Abi immediately makes you feel comfortable, her ground floor is dedicated for the children and is absolutely spotless and her assistants are all lovely people.
She really nurtured and helped in my daughters development from learning to walk to learning words and other motor skills, all while creating a safe and caring environment for her growth. She provided excellent healthy meals which my daughter loved!
She really cared for my daughter Elina as though she were her own, to the point where she even came by our place over Christmas (after we had moved on to nursery) to give her a gift. Which is something I will never forget.
Abi is extremely trustworthy and kind and I am so happy we chose her.

Abi is a wonderful Childminder, and I’m very very happy with the care and service she provides.
I’ve been working from home for over a year (which I loved) and I was only given a weeks notice from my embassy to return.
My little one is only 14 months old, I new this day was coming but it’s still a bit of a panic!
I started out by visiting nurseries thinking that this was the answer I don’t have any family in London, but I didn't like them not for my little one anyway she’s to young they all had to many older children charging around, i also found them impersonal, over priced and not at all flexible.
ABI invited me to visit and first impressions her place is amazing, she is very warm patient caring and easy to get on with very relaxed and professional and she explained everything to me and showed me around. Her place is set up just for her child minding she’s converted the ground floor of her house just for this and has a great garden, She has lots and lots of toys, activates, and lots of testimonials from other parents on the wall.
I would have liked to do some settling in but I didn’t have time, my job had offered me unpaid leave but it wasn’t really an option, abi told me not to worry and was very reassuring. So I had viewed her place on Saturday and dropped my little one off the following Monday, abi made everything so easy for me, I know shes probably done this so many times but it’s my first, in fact I realized at this point Lilliana had never been with anyone else away from me. Abi must have realized I was putting a brave face on it because she sent me lots of photos and updates I actually quiet enjoyed my first day back at work, I can say she is very professional at her job, thank you abi !
It’s been a few weeks now and Lilliana has settled in fantastically she doesn’t cry when I drop her off in fact she can,t wait to go in she gets so excited when I pull up outside Abi’s and she’s always content and happy when I pick up, I couldn’t of hopped for more, but there is ! Abi helped me claim the tax back on my childcare. I didn’t even know about it and it’s paying part, Fantastic 😀 it’s saving me quiet a lot of money.
Also just a quick mention abi has some fantastic assistants all very professional, sari, Cora, Amelia and fariba thank you ladies I can tell Lilliana loves being with you and she has made so much progress since being with you guys and I can tell from the pictures abi sends me how fantastic you all are.
I wouldn’t normally write a review but in this case it’s worth it , hand on heart I can’t recommend abi enough, you will not find a better Childminder.
PS Thanks abi for the card Lilliana made for fathers day it was my first one, someone at work mentioned it but it hadn't even crossed my mind let alone expect to get one.

Please be extremely careful when dealing with this lady. We spoke in detail about the fee’s and then 4 days before my child was meant to start she added additional fees and basically said take it or leave it. She ended up much more expensive even with the 15 hours free! When I advised her I would not be taking her place the true character came out! She has no paperwork at all invoice was a text message! The text said deposit was refundable so I am having to go through my bank to recover my money! She blocked me and asked me to contact her but not sure how that works when she has money she owns a person? Be extremely careful especially with her fee’s and the fact that no contract or paper invoice is given. Someone had similar problems however, they had not paid deposit like myself. I see this going to the claims court so save yourself the headache!

When we were looking for a place for our 1 year old boy we found it so difficult to find a setting that was nurturing and stimulating at the same time. This is where Abi’s childcare services really stood out for us. She really looked after our boy, gave him the love and attention that he needed at the time when I had to go back to work. A year on he’s now thriving and I have to thank Abi and all her helpers for this, they have really encouraged him. You won’t be disappointed by picking Abi, she will look after your child like her own. My boy will really miss everyone, he’s bonded so well with the kids and caters.
Thanks to Abi xx
