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.
Rebecca and Chloe are the best childminders for your children, without a doubt. It’s the safest, kind and caring environment my little girl could have ever been. My little girl started going when she was 1 year and 8 months- after months of being unsettled at a private nursery, I was unsure what to do. I went to see Rebecca, we had a chat, we looked around and the space for the children was so interactive with everything they need, lots and lots of toys, a space outside, safety measures, the whole lot! She went for a few settling in sessions, and ever since then- has been 3 times a week. My daughter has experienced kindest, warmth and affection, whilst doing the things she enjoys the most, Rebecca and Chloe cater for every child’s needs and my daughter has grown and developed so much thanks to them. Every week something different is planned, whether that’s picnics, the farm, the park, softplay or crafts in the house. My little girl wouldn’t be ready for big girl nursery if it wasn’t for Rebecca and Chloe. I cannot thank them enough, please choose them if you ever consider a childminder, I promise you won’t regret it- it will be the best choice you will make.
My little girl will miss them so much! And so will I❤️ xxx
It’s clear our son has such a great time with Eb, as he still asks when he’s going back to see her! She’s brilliant with the school pickups and provides a clean, nurturing environment along with delicious after-school meals. She is genuinely kind with the kids, and I don't know how she does it, but somehow they're still learning during playtime! She supports them with their homework, takes them to the library, and we’ve seen a significant improvement in his academics—especially in English and Maths—thanks to her care. All of this at a very fair rate. I would 100% recommend Eb to any parent!
An Outstanding and Caring Childminder Highly Recommended
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Durrey and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, passionate and dedicated childcare setting.
My son Rehmat started with Durrey just after turning three. At the time, he had a language barrier as English was his second language and, at home, he mainly spoke his mother tongue. Rehmat is also a naturally quiet and reserved child, so we were a little unsure about how he would settle and develop his confidence.
From the very beginning, Durrey went above and beyond to support him. She provided a wide range of fun and engaging activities, including English singing, stories, creative activities and arts and crafts. She also incorporated learning through play and carefully covered all seven areas of learning within the EYFS. She gave Rehmat one-to-one support whenever he needed it and always took the time to understand his individual needs.
One of the things that meant so much to us as a family was how thoughtful Durrey was with his meals. Rehmat enjoys traditional home cooked food, and Durrey would kindly prepare food separately for him to make sure he was comfortable, happy and eating well. She always made sure his individual needs were looked after with such care.
The progress Rehmat has made has been amazing. His confidence has grown so much and he now speaks English confidently at home. He can write his own name, give meaning to his mark-making in full sentences, and has developed a strong knowledge and understanding of the world. He is also very confident with numbers and is beginning to learn phonetic sounds and read some words.
These achievements are a reflection of the time, patience, encouragement and dedication Durrey gives to every child. She is incredibly passionate and caring and genuinely goes above and beyond to help children learn, develop and feel valued.
We are so grateful for everything she has done for Rehmat and for the positive start she has given him. We truly feel that we were very lucky to find her.
Thank you, Durrey, for all your hard work, kindness and dedication. You have made such a wonderful difference to Rehmat. ❤️

"We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder for our 2-year-old. Leaving your child with someone can be hard, but from day one, we felt completely safe—it almost feels like dropping them off with a caring doctor who pays attention to every little detail.The environment is always exceptionally clean, organized, and safe. The childminder is incredibly supportive, patient, and attentive to our child's daily needs and development. Our little one is always happy to go and comes home with a big smile. We truly appreciate the dedication, warmth, and high standards of care provided here. Highly recommended to any parent looking for peace of mind!"
Tanisha looked after my two boys (4 and 8 years old) every evening for 8 days when my husband was away, she helped with the evening routine for 2 hours each day. She engaged with my kids, played and read books to them. She is very calm and kind and the kids really liked her and were looking forward to seeing her in the next evening. Additionally she took care of my youngest for half a day when he was sick and I still needed to work (from home). She is punctual and polite. I will definitely contact her again in the future when we require ad hoc babysitting.

My son has spent the last year at Gaby and he has loved every single day there. He runs inside without looking back and is excited about everything they do together. Gaby has made sure to create a beautiful setting that feels welcoming, safe and encouraging for young and growing minds. Her family-style, homemade meals have been a highlight and she makes sure to incorporate the childrens likes into the meals as well as introducing new and traditional flavours. I have loved that he has been exposed to different languages and cultures while learning about a vast array of topics. Everyday there are new and exciting (as well as developmentally appropriate) activities and themes to explore. My son was initially nervous and resistant to change but her calm and nurturing support have helped to protect his individuality and grow his confidence into a fun and vibrant young person ready for reception. Gaby was always open and clear with her communication as well as extremely understanding and professional. We have loved our year with her and I'm so glad to return with my second next year. Thank you!
We couldn’t recommend Sacha highly enough. She cared for our daughter full time from the age of one until she was four, including preschool wrap-around care for a year.
Sacha is caring, creative and passionate about giving the children in her care the very best start. She puts so much thought and energy into everything she does, always ensuring that the children are happy, engaged, learning and, most importantly, well cared for.
Our daughter absolutely thrived with Sacha and genuinely loved going to the setting every day. She made so many wonderful memories and developed in confidence, independence and readiness for school. She has developed strong friendships with the other children that extend beyond the setting.
As first-time parents, her experience, advice, guidance and reassurance have been invaluable. She has been a trusted listening ear through every stage of our daughter’s development and has always been professional, approachable and incredibly supportive.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Diego as our nanny. He is kind, calm, respectful, accountable, and genuinely wonderful with our child.
One of the things we especially appreciate is that he speaks Spanish with our child, giving them natural and meaningful exposure to the language. When they are together, Diego is fully present and engaged, playing, interacting, and giving our toddler his complete attention.
Diego is also very creative and thoughtful when it comes to finding activities that are fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate for our child’s age. He always seems to come up with new ways to play, learn, explore, and keep our toddler interested.
He has such a calm and patient personality and somehow always finds a gentle way to convince our toddler, even during those tricky toddler moments. He connects with children naturally and treats them with kindness and respect.
Diego is dependable, responsible, and a great cook, which is another wonderful bonus. There are honestly so many positive things we could say about him. We trust him completely and always feel comfortable knowing our child is in his care.
We highly recommend Diego to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, patient, creative, and genuinely engaged nanny. He is truly a pleasure to have in our family’s life!
Our little boy has loved being at Linda’s. Both Linda and Connie have been amazing with him and he loves to tell us stories about what they’ve been up to.
I felt so comfortable leaving him with Linda straight away, she is warm and welcoming and it’s clear that all of the kids absolutely adore her. Our son has enjoyed playing in the lovely setting so much and loveddd getting to play in the garden all summer!
Our son has now started school and I know he will miss her, Connie & the dogs lots!
We were very happy to have Marti look after our children, including our 1-year-old (full time) and our 3- and 6-year-olds, after school and during the holidays. She was extremely reliable, punctual and dependable, which gave us great peace of mind as a family.
She was wonderful with all three children and made a real effort to plan fun and age-appropriate activities to keep them engaged and entertained. She was caring, patient and attentive, and the children always enjoyed spending time with her.
We also really appreciated her initiative around the house. On quieter days, she would often tidy up and help keep things organised without ever needing to be asked. This was such a thoughtful extra and made a big difference.
We would happily recommend Marti to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable nanny. She was a pleasure to have in our home and we were very grateful for all her help.

We honestly can’t recommend Mary enough! We were on holiday in Cornwall for a week with our two children, our 3 month old baby and our 2 year old, and finding her was one of the best things we did.
Before our holiday, she took the time to have a video call with us to chat through everything, understand our needs and go through the children’s routines.
This was really reassuring for us, especially as our baby had never been left with anyone before.
We used her a few times during our holiday for daytime childcare, a couple of evenings babysitting, and she also took the children out on day trips for us. She was absolutely brilliant every single time.
She was amazing with both children. She was so warm, gentle, calm and caring, and her experience with babies and young children was obvious from the start. I was quite nervous about leaving our baby for the first time, but she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. We knew very quickly that they were in safe hands.
She was fantastic with our 2 year old as well and they both seemed to absolutely love spending time with her. It was so lovely coming back to happy, settled children and hearing about what they had been up to.
She was really reliable and easy to communicate with, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Having someone we trusted so much meant we could actually relax and enjoy some time together during our holiday, which was especially special with such a young baby.
We feel very lucky to have found her and would 100% use her again if we’re back in Cornwall. She was genuinely wonderful with both of our children and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️
Diego was our nanny for over a year before my twin girls started school and still does occasional cover for us. He’s totally wonderful and has a natural calm and ease with children. He makes an effort to find interesting and varied activities to make their days fun. I’m so impressed by the way he manages my twin girls with ease. I would recommend him so highly.
Polly was amazing with Lilah and genuinely took her into her own family and treated her with so much love and care.
We saw our Lilah grow so much in the time she attended Pollys setting and we genuinely couldn’t fault the care and support given to our daughter and us as we took the first steps into childcare.
I could not recommend Lewis enough. I was looking for childcare for my little boy last minute early in the morning and it wasn’t an issue whatsoever. He was more than happy to help and nothing was too much trouble. He’s kept me updated on everything they have got up to throughout the day. My little boy was very content and comfortable whilst in Lewis’s care. I would absolutely recommend🤍
very difficult to give instructions. does not follow instructions. very inconsistent , comes one days does not skips another day due to other commitments.

Ive known Nina for over a year now. Both my 2 children absolutely love her and she is a pleasure to be around.
She is caring, patient and nurturing. She genuinely attends to their emotional and physical well-being, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and valued. She seems to enjoy the activities the children do as well!
I couldn't recommend her enough, the comments and excitement from my children are enough realise how fantastic she is.

We came to Amanda at the start of the year and it has honestly been brilliant ever since. From communication to fun filled activities it’s been the perfect place to send our little boy to and he loves going there. There’s no shortage of toys and things to do for them but there’s also plenty of learning aids for them to enjoy at all ages.
Ben
The most amazing childminders we could of ever wished for. Karen and Amanda are amazing, our daughter has had the most wonderful three years with them.
Returning to work and trusting ultimately strangers at the time is daunting and scary, Karen and Amanda made this transition so much easier for our family. From day one I felt reassured Esme was in the right place, and I will forever feel grateful for the magnificent care, love, guidance and experiences you have provided Esme. You have helped shape Esme in to the wonderful, bright little girl she now is and we can never thank you enough
we will miss you, thank you for everything xxx
I met Jen when i started a new job that required me to work on Saturdays. Until then, my 6y old little boy was only in the care of myself and his dad. we never really liked the idea or had confidence to leave our son with someone else especially someone we didn't know. Jen was local to my area, a teacher and had her own children. this is what gave me initial courage to talk to her. when we visited her for the first time, i discovered the kindest and most loving lady with her children in they home that feels full of love, togetherness and care for each other- including their pets. i felt confidence honestly when i met them. with the weeks passing i realised that Jen is gifted with a natural talent, love and resilience to care for children. i feel re-assured when my son is with her. she plans very carefuly and appropriately activities for children based on what they enjoy, she is amazing at helping them gain confidence and build relationships, she is a great communicator with me as a parent. i could not ask for more and i feel fortunate that my son has access to the care she provides and to all the beautiful adventures that she organises for the children. Thank you Jen!🌸
