Latest Reviews
Here are some of the latest reviews that we have received from parents who have used childcare providers and tutors listed on Childcare.co.uk.
After what had seemed like a positive working relationship for around a year, the childminder raised a safeguarding concern with social services regarding a single mark on our child. We disagreed with the observation and felt the matter resulted from a misunderstanding after discussing the concern with the childminder.
From our perspective, the referral felt disproportionate to the situation and caused significant stress and anxiety for our family. While we appreciate that childminders have safeguarding responsibilities, we were disappointed that the matter escalated in this way and felt it could have been handled differently through further discussion and communication.

I honestly couldn't ask for a better childminder than Emma. From the moment the boys started with her, she has gone above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She is patient, caring, and treats the children as if they were her own.
Both of my boys absolutely adore her and are always excited to see her. Emma provides a fun, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and grow, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they are in such capable hands.
As a parent, there is nothing more important than trusting the person caring for your children, and Emma has earned that trust completely. Her communication is fantastic, she's always supportive, and she genuinely cares about each child's wellbeing and development.
We are so grateful for everything she does for our family. Emma is truly one in a million, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional childminder.❤️
Our daughter started with Nikki and Sophie at 18mo and she's now 4 and a half. Nikki and Sophie feel like family to her, she loves them dearly and they love her! There's so many things they do on days out, so many new experiences... a great nurturing environment, we trust them 100% and I appreciate the great communication they always keep with us (pics, updates...). Fantastic childminders!

Hayley has been an amazing nanny, looking after our two boys (aged 4 and 6) over the past year. She is reliable, has excellent attention to detail and safety, and a lovely personality - our boys adore her! Hayley regularly does school pick-ups and cooks delicious meals for the whole family, helps with homework and supervises craft activities for the boys. We couldn't ask for a better nanny.

Nikki and Sophie have had our daughter from 9 months old.
We are regularly kept up to date with her progress, and her development in the last 15 months has been exceptional.
More importantly, our daughter is happy to go here and is always chatty and smiling when she’s collected, it’s like a home away from home for her.
I cannot fault any aspect of the service they provide, I couldn’t imagine sending my daughter anywhere else.
Our son has joined the setting a few months ago and we are extremely pleased of how things are progressing so far. From development, speech and confidence, you can tell Nawal and Poppy really are putting in the effort to make the kids feel comfortable and integrated. They pay great attention to detail and any requirements you have, from food, clothing, sleep, toys, anything that can make your child feel safe and 'like home'. The activities they do are so various and catchy for the kids, from the simple tasks to some more complex, you can tell the interest is always there. The setting itself has everything a child could need or want, it's a very warm environment for the kids to feel safe and welcome.
Poppy is a very kind and professional childminder, extremely easy to talk to and understanding which has made this process so much easier for us from a parent perspective. She is always very careful and patient with our son, offering him comfort and attention when needed hence why we can see he has grown very fond of her. All the updates she is providing throughout the day and always there to answer any of our silly questions or concerns, has made this chapter so much easier to navigate.
Her being careful and aware of any mood swings or behaviour changes in our son and making us aware of it everytime, gives us the peace of mind that he is being looked after properly.
We are happy to work together with them towards our son's journey at the setting and excited for what's next to come. 😊
We couldn’t be happier with the care our little one receives who started from 10 months. He genuinely loves going there each day and has formed a wonderful bond with the childminder. We receive regular photos and detailed daily updates, which gives us great peace of mind and helps us feel connected to his day.
What has impressed us most is the positive environment and the progress we’ve seen in our child’s development, confidence and independence. Our older child attended a well-regarded nursery, but we never experienced this level of communication, personal attention or satisfaction. The care, dedication and professionalism shown every day are exceptional, and we would highly recommend SpaceHoppers to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.
I cannot begin to express the eternal gratitude I have to these two wonderful ladies for the love and care they have shown to my little boy during his time with them, they are simply amazing they always go above and beyond and nothing is ever too much. I always felt completely at ease dropping my son to them knowing he would be well looked after and he always came out with a massive smile after having such a great time with them. The best of the best l.
My little one has been attending this nursery for 2 years now, and loves every minute spent there! As a parent, getting a detailed handover everytime I pick up my little one gives me and my partner massive confidence in the setting as a whole, and the detailed feedback helps us to understand why they love it so much there! My little one has even started eating dragon fruit, which is something I never thought I'd be able to say!
I desperately came to this app trying to find childcare for my sons to keep them safe whilst also attending the event I’m organiser of. We met prior, went to the park with the kids for a meet and greet and we instantly booked her for the event! We are so happy we did!
You are now my first contact for childcare that I know we can rely on & you worth every single penny!
Thank you so much xx

It is impossible to put into words just how grateful we are for the care, love, and support our childminder has given our son over the past eight years.
She has been so much more than a childminder; she has been a trusted, caring, and constant presence throughout his childhood. She has helped him grow in confidence, supported him through important milestones, and always made him feel safe, happy, and valued.
Knowing he was in her care gave us complete peace of mind, and we will always be thankful for the kindness, patience, and dedication she has shown our family.
The positive impact she has had on our son’s life is immeasurable, and we feel incredibly lucky to have shared this journey with her. She will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Would definitely recommend fatema to look after your little one. Thank you so much for everything🙂
Our daughter has been attending WeMind since she was 9 months old and is now two and a half and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. She absolutely adores Paola and her team and WeMind truly feels like a home away from home. As first-time parents, it gives us great peace of mind to know she is in such a caring, nurturing and supportive environment. The team is always honest, approachable and excellent at communicating, which we greatly value. We also love the home-cooked meals and the fantastic curriculum, which offers a wide variety of engaging activities and thoughtfully follows different themes. As a primary school teacher, I particularly appreciate the rich learning experiences provided, including learning walks, music, arts and activities that support cognitive development while helping children build important life skills. Our daughter has learnt so much during her time at WeMind and has truly thrived there. In fact, we have already signed up our second daughter and have recommended WeMind to friends, whose children now attend as well. We highly recommend Paola and her wonderful team to any family looking for a caring, inspiring and enriching environment where children are genuinely valued and encouraged to flourish.
Rachel provides a unique setting which values childrens' natural curiosity and innate creativity. Our daughter adores Rachel and is so excited to go to her house on her childcare days. She chatters merrily about the interesting things she has discovered in the natural world with her friends under Rachel's care. I only wish we had known about Rachel when our eldest was in their Early Years as we would have happily sent them there as well. She has an innate understanding of the importance of child-led play and there is such magic our little one finds in her days there. She is safe, cared for and appreciated for who she is in Rachel's care. We couldn't recommend this childminder more. Thank you so much Rachel xx
