I have used Atefeh’s service for many years.
Her team and she are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children.
The children engage in various activities such as creative arts and crafts, outdoor play and trips to different places both locally and in London.
My child is always excited to share her daily experience with us at the end of the day.
Communication with Atefeh has been exceptional.
She is always responsive to my messages and very good in keeping parents informed about the children’s progress on a regular basis.
I highly recommend her service.
Luiyana is so lovely! She provided wraparound care for our 4-year-old son and looked after him so well. Luiyana is very creative and Freddie has come home with some very precious keepsakes that he has made during his time with Luiyana - often inspiring Freddie’s older sister to recreate her own versions. Luiyana is kind, gentle and patient. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder!

Rafia (Sumona) put me at ease within minutes of meeting her.
She welcomed me & my daughter into her home and was so open and easy to talk to.
Handing my daughter over to a stranger was hard for me (I was pregnant & it was very emotional for me) but Rafia was so great with my daughter and settled and comforted her so well. She also was very good at comforting me and re-assuring me with pictures through-out the day...
My little girl came home every day so happy. She always ate & slept well and Rafia was very accommodating with extra naps and little tricks/routines like we had at home to help settle. My daughter brought artwork home, had fun on the slide and swing in her back garden, planted vegetables and flowers, did yoga along with so much more and had the interaction with there fabulous children on a small intimate level unlike a nursery or creche. Her husband and children were present and my little one really enjoyed their company...
We have recently moved country and had to say good-bye to Rafia and it was one of the hardest good-byes. She looked after my baby like she was her own and I'll never forget that.
A true gem! <3 Thank you Rafia.
My child was very happy to spent time there ,and that is very important for me!❤️

Karen has been looking after my two children for over 18 months. I could not recommend her more
highly. She is very reliable, has formed a fantastic relationship with the boys and they love spending
time with her. She takes them out to the park and to playgroups but is just as happy playing with
them at home. She has adapted as they have got older and is happy looking after them by
themselves or together. When I am working from home and she is looking after them I hear lots of
fun and laughter. We feel very lucky that she supports our family.

Sonia has provided an exceptional service for my son since he has started with her. She takes him out to many groups helping him get used to a social setting and his speech has come on leaps and bounds. she has really helped him to come out of his shell as I’ve picked up on him wanting to play with others as opposed to playing by himself. I couldn’t ask for a better service.
Kayleigh has been such a lifesaver since we found her a couple months ago. She is incredibly professional with skills from previous nursery and nannying jobs and is personable and really easy to get along with. Because of her nursery experience, she is great at anticipating needs with our baby (currently 5 months) following cues for his sleep and hunger (since we do not abide by a schedule) and asks all the right questions to make sure she is modeling how you would care for your own child. She's proactive and a great communicator - we can't recommend her enough!

Nancy is a great and attentive childminder. She communicates well, sends us daily updates, varies their experiences, and puts in a lot of effort to make the environment conducive to developing minds. Our son adores her, and we will highly recommend her to any prospective parents.
We have had our 3 year old son with Chevonne for one year and we have been extremely satisfied by her exceptional care. Chevonne has an amazing ability to connect with children and through this time we have seen how comfortable our little one has felt with her. She engaged with him in creative and fun activities, which we had the pleasure to witness through her regular communication with pictures and updates. The few times our son was grumpy during drop off, she always made sure to send us nice pictures of him as soon as he was playful and happy again, which has been so nice and reassuring for us to see.
We have seen a huge growth in our son’s social skills, vocabulary and confidence during his time with Chevonne, for which we are sure the stimulating environment and the new activities she has been constantly designing played a big part. We are grateful to Chevonne about the care and attention she has shown to our son.
I told this babysitter to take my children up to bed at 8pm she refused to admit this and allowed the children to stay awake and when i returned home at 4am she was sleeping on the sofa and my son was awake upstairs she let my 4 year old stay awake till 11pm till she fell asleep and my son to she didn’t tell them to sleep and turn of the tv she just allowed it this is unacceptable my children have a bedtime routine of 8pm

Doing home learning with my child was almost impossible too many distractions and he just lacked attentiveness. After trialling At least 4 different Tutors,Miss Laffey was the one . Not only does she have the enthusiasm and love for teaching but she has a very warming and generous personality . Unbelievably she is amazing when it comes to tutoring my child, from struggling to keep his attention for 10 minutes or less sometimes , Miss Laffey has the mind blowing capability of tutoring him for 2hours that itself should say it all . I am in awe of her teaching skills and the resources she provides its almost as if he is in a classroom ( thats incredibly fun) . My son asks about her and has developed an immensely positive attitude towards learning. Miss Laffey has sparked and has brought to surface his fullest potential and great skills relating to his learning but is also aware of his weaknesses and does her very best in rectifying them and building his confidence . We are so lucky and grateful to have an Incredible Tutor and look forward to our future sessions . I have never seen anyone love and possess so much passion for their job as much as Miss Laffey.
Riz stepped in and helped us in our hour of need. She was brilliant as a childminder. We needed someone at short notice due to illness and she was there for us. She looked after my twin grandchildren from the age of 8 months to age 15 1/2 months.
What initially started out as a 6 week booking turned into a 7 1/2 month booking and therefore Riz saw many developmental changes in the twins. From weaning and crawling through to walking and some first words.
She was always very helpful and accommodating and the twins were always happy to be dropped off with her in the mornings.
I would recommend Riz as a childminder.

Syndyze has been with us for a little over 4 years. She joined us in March 2020 when my first was 10 months as I went back to work from maternity leave. As he was about to go to nursery, we had our second, so she stayed on and took care of both. Syndyze became part of our family, and I cannot imagine anyone else I can completely trust with my boys.
Syndyze is experienced, loving, responsible, empathetic, calm, fun and professional. She organized so many activities for the kids on daily basis - she knows every community centre/library/church/play group that exists in the area! The boys were engaged in stimulating activities all the time. She even introduced me to like-minded moms who became good friends! Syndyze is very experienced with children’s behaviour and will provide valuable tips in a balanced and respectful manner. She knows how to deal with toddler tantrums so skilfully, the boys loved and respected her. She would also notice signs of illness early on and raise them immediately. She is very proactive and always willing to lend a helping hand, we are extremely sad to part ways, but with our second joining his brother’s school soon, our requirements have changed.
I really cannot recommend Syndyze enough. I am more than happy to give additional reference – feel free to ask Syndyze for my contacts should you wish to speak.

One of the most concerning aspects was the cleanliness and safety standards of the environment in which my child was supposed to spend their time.
She refused to give me invoice for my payment on 2 occasions.
She came me benefit earner that she only takes children of professionals workers even she known I am a registered nurse.
I would not recommend their services to other parents seeking reliable childcare options.
Shaun has been tutoring my 4 year old daughter who started reception in September 2023 for the last 3 weeks. So far, we are very pleased. Shaun is a good tutor who consistently demonstrates professionalism and a genuine commitment to our daughter success. His punctuality, patience, and engaging teaching style create a good learning environment for our daughter. Shaun arrives on time for every session, prepared and ready to dive into the material. He explains concepts clearly and calmly, never rushing or becoming frustrated. His interactive approach keeps our daughter actively involved and motivated, warm personality and polite demeanor foster a trusting rapport, making the tutoring sessions a pleasant and productive experience. I highly recommend Shaun for his exceptional tutoring abilities and dedication to our daughter’s growth.

Madi has been great with my 1 year old daughter. She is very professional, kind and naturally good with kids. She is very knowledgeable about kids too. Also she goes the extra mile, gets toys for the kids etc. also to make her services special her family is so respectful and friendly, I feel very comfortable leaving my child at her house.
Lindsay is always here on time and is very reliable. She very quickly gained our son’s trust, so that is was very easy for us to leave him with her and it’s been great to listen to them playing and singing! She brings age-appropriate toys and things to play with with him that he absolutely loves.
