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.
Amber has looked after our little one for nearly a year now and she is amazing. She is kind, caring, a natural with kids and I always feel safe when she is looking after my baby. He loves her too and her whole family feels like a second family to us. I am forever grateful for her love and care. Her home is kid friendly, clean, safe and warm and she is an excellent cook. She is very flexible and easy to get in touch with. I don’t know what I would do without Ambers help.

My little boy has come on so much since being cared for by Becky since September. He loves being in her care. Great communication from Becky, also, the daily updates are great!

We cannot thank the nursery team enough for the incredible care, support, and dedication they show every day. Our son absolutely loves coming to nursery and asks every single day if he can go. Even at home, he talks about his teachers and friends constantly, which shows how happy, safe, and valued he feels in this wonderful environment.
One of the things we love most is how the teachers encourage his interests. He often brings his favourite books from home, and the staff take the time to read them with him, which has helped nurture his love of reading and learning.
The communication from the nursery is exceptional. The photos and videos shared throughout the day allow us to see all the amazing activities, learning experiences, and happy moments he enjoys. It is wonderful to feel so connected to his daily experiences.
The progress he has made since joining the nursery has been remarkable. At the beginning, he had a significant speech delay due to growing up with three languages at home.
Thanks to the patience, encouragement, and support of the nursery staff, his confidence and communication skills have flourished. He can now count, recite the alphabet, and confidently identify colours and shapes.
We are incredibly proud of how far he has come.
The nursery has also been a huge support to our family. Whenever we need additional help or childcare, the team is always understanding and accommodating. They have also guided us through all the funding options available, ensuring we receive every possible support.
The teachers and staff go above and beyond in every way. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care make this nursery truly exceptional. We are so grateful for everything they do and feel incredibly lucky to have our son in such a nurturing, stimulating, and loving environment.
Thank you for making such a positive difference in our son's life.
After a phonecall, we tried to meet up, but each time she would cancel lastminute and ask to postpone the meeting to the next day due to surprise events: GP appointment (cancelled 1 hour before our meeting), Car issues (cancelled only 10mins before our meeting!), and a 'Meeting' (cancelled only 15mins before our meeting!). Lianna clearly doesnt respect me or my time as a client, she made my day more complex, as I had to keep adjusting my baby's sleep-feed schedule to try allow us time to speak. So I spent 3 consecutive days trying to meet up with her... But she seems too busy and/or disorganised... very unprofessional.
After the 3rd time she bailed on me, I sent the following whatsapp message: "15mins before our 3rd arranged slot. Thats three times youve asked me to reschedule. It seems you are too busy. You have really inconvenienced me these past 3 days as I have had to adjust my babys schedule to allow for us to talk. But each time you have disappointed. Why would you think I would want to meet now? Please delete my number and my data"

My son has been looked after by Kerry for almost a year now and he loves going. He doesn’t even say bye to me when I drop him off 😂 - he’s straight in.
He always does lots of arts and crafts, and we get regular photo updates of him playing with the other children Kerry looks after. 100% recommend her as a childminder!

Terri, Evie and Leigh at Little Giggles have been looking after our daughter for the last 5 months since I returned to work. Our daughter loves going to their house (sometimes doesn’t want to leave!) and was able to build attachments easily as a result of their warm and caring approaches. They always sends updates throughout the day that put me at ease when I see her so happy and exploring new things each day. They genuinely care about our daughter and I highly recommend to anyone considering sending their child!
We are so grateful to have found Salma. Hugo was just 14 months old when he first started with her in Jan 2026 and is now 19 months old. As this was his first experience being cared for by someone outside of family, I was naturally quite apprehensive at first. However, she was incredibly patient with him while he settled in and took the time to make him feel comfortable and secure. Salma is kind, caring, and very understanding, especially when we've needed to make last-minute adjustments to our arrangements. Her home has a lovely family atmosphere, with her own three children and the other children she looks after all playing together, which has been wonderful for Hugo's social development. I have complete peace of mind knowing Hugo is in her care. It's clear that he enjoys his time there, and I've noticed him learning new things since he started. We also receive regular updates about what he's been getting up to during the day, which is always reassuring and lovely to see. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and nurturing childminder. We feel very fortunate to have found her!
I don’t usually write reviews, but for Nicola (and Raj), I genuinely wanted to, because she has been such an important part of my little boy’s life.
My son has been with her since 2024, starting when he was only 17 months old, and trusting someone else with your baby at that age is not easy. As a parent, leaving your child with someone else is one of the biggest decisions you make, and from the very beginning, she made him and me feel safe. Her setting is a caring, nurturing, structured and professional environment where he has thrived.
He is now almost 3 years old and it is obvious how comfortable, secure and loved he feels there. He has formed a lovely bond with Nicola, Raj and the other children in her care and this gives me so much reassurance and peace of mind.
She has cared for him with kindness, patience, warmth and genuine affection throughout every stage of his development. She has celebrated his milestones, birthdays, supported his growing independence and provided an environment where he has flourished emotionally, socially and personally.
Communication has always been excellent and I’m kept informed about what he is up to for the day, including pictures. If there are any concerns, Nicola shares this with me and I get a daily report at the end of each day, just before pick up.
You can see how much she cares, not only in the way she interacts with the children, but in the environment she creates. I see genuine dedication with Nicola and Raj and she is always available for questions I may have about my son’s day and general development. My son has built confidence, friendships, routines, educational skills and wonderful memories throughout his time with her. He will continue to attend her setting even as he moves into formal primary school education.
I will always be grateful for the care, support and love she has shown my son and I feel very lucky to have found her and Raj.
I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a truly caring, experienced and devoted childminder.

I am so so happy with Jessica’s childcare setting - it’s clean, tidy and full of fun activities. The care and creativity she takes to make each visit interesting and engaging is so considerate and demonstrates her years of experience. There are so many childminders who don’t know where to start with play and activities, but it just seems to come so naturally to Jessica to plan things to do. My little one absolutely loves spending time with her and it’s been so wonderful to find somewhere my really child enjoys and genuinely gets excited to go to! Jessica’s experience is clearly demonstrated in how respectfully she speaks to my little one as well, which I really appreciate.
Skye has been caring for our 3‑month‑old baby boy, and we could not be happier with the love, care, and professionalism she brings into our home. From the very beginning, she formed a natural and gentle bond with him. Every morning when she arrives, he greets her with the biggest grin — a true sign of how safe, comfortable, and happy he feels in her presence.
She supports him with tummy time, developmental play, talking, interaction, and age‑appropriate stimulation. Every day she manages his nap times, feeding support, changing and clothing, as well as outdoor walks and fresh‑air activities. She brings a calm, confident presence that helps him feel settled and secure.
What truly sets Skye apart is her initiative and thoughtfulness. She researches new ideas, activities, and developmental suggestions, and she always shares them with us in such a supportive and helpful way. She is proactive, creative, and genuinely invested in helping our little one grow and thrive.
We are so grateful for everything Skye is doing for our family, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to any parents looking for a caring, responsible, and truly exceptional nanny.

Lauren has babysat on a number of occasions now for my son, who has Special Needs. From the first time we met her, she was calm and relaxed and my son took to her straight away! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to other parents, I have been able to have some much needed child free time whilst knowing that my son is well looked after and happy - and usually fast asleep when I get home, which is an added bonus!

I started by sending my daughter to jophis when she was very young. I visited a couple of nurseries and childminders but felt extremely hesitant letting go of my first baby after a year at home with her. As soon as I met Jophi and her family I knew this was the family I wanted my baby to blossom in. They were full of warmth and kindness. Jophi has looked after both my children over the last few years with so much dedication that Jophi is a second mother to my children. Jophi is not just a childminder, she is a mother away from home. I don’t have the words to describe how comforted I felt every time after dropping my children to jophis setting as they both have a great time, are well fed and always looked after better than anyone else could look after my kids.
I hope more children are lucky enough to spend some time in jophis setting.
Jophis husband and children are just as warm and welcoming, a very lovely kind family, my children have created the most beautiful memories at jophis setting and I will really miss this part (kids are now going to school!). Communication is excellent I always have photos of what the kids are up to! My daughter absolutely excelled as she was exposed to a range of different ages at the setting (compared to being with children of all the same age group at nursery). Thank you for everything x

We were incredibly fortunate to have Aisha look after our two daughters (aged 2 months and 2 years) from 1–3 June while we attended a conference in Manchester city centre.
Throughout the three days, Aisha and her assistants took excellent care of both children, ensuring that our baby was comfortable, well-fed, and settled, while also keeping our energetic toddler engaged, happy, and entertained. She was attentive to their individual needs and showed genuine affection and patience towards both of them.
We particularly appreciated the regular updates, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to focus on the conference knowing that our daughters were in safe and capable hands. Our toddler quickly became comfortable with her, which speaks volumes about her caring nature and ability to build trust with children.
In addition to providing exceptional care, Aisha was also incredibly kind and understanding when discussing childcare costs. She generously offered us a substantial discount when we explained our circumstances, which we greatly appreciated. Her kindness and flexibility reflected the genuine care she has for the families she supports.
We would not hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and professional childminder.
Thank you, Aisha, for taking such wonderful care of our daughters and making our time in Manchester completely stress-free.

Carmen is truly exceptional. She is kind, caring, and incredibly pleasant to work with. Her flexibility and willingness to help made everything so much easier for our family. It was an absolute pleasure having her support us, and we’re very grateful for the warmth and attentiveness she showed every day. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate nanny.
We moved our twins to Trudy from another childminder and were nervous that our girls would feel uncomfortable with the move. From the moment we met Trudy, Andy and Jess we felt completely comfortable and so did they. They allowed us to visit at a time that suited us and even set up some stay and plays so that our girls could get used to the setting.
Since then our girls have thrived. There talking, understanding of the world and imagination have come on leaps and bounds. We have been supported through toilet training and our girls adore the staff. There days have routine, fun and learning with a new theme each week. They are so excited every day when we pull onto the drive and are able to be 100% themselves.
Communication is never an issue. Trudy replies almost instantly to messages/calls, pictures and videos are put on class dojo, aswell as in a communication book and sometimes sent via WhatsApp aswell. Which makes you feel a lot better when you are away from your children.
I can't thank Trudy, Andy and Jess enough for all of the support they have given our family.
We will be forever grateful to Elaine for the incredible care, support, and dedication she has shown our family. From the very first day she welcomed our son into her setting, she not only helped him settle in but also supported us as parents through the transition. Her constant reassurance, advice, and genuine care made a world of difference.
Elaine always went above and beyond to ensure our son felt comfortable, happy, and secure. He truly felt like he was spending time with extended family, and that gave us enormous peace of mind. Her warm and nurturing approach created an environment where he could thrive.
The progress our son has made during his time with Elaine has been remarkable. She has been incredibly attentive to his individual needs and development, always taking the time to support and encourage him. The effort she puts into helping children learn and grow is evident in everything she does.
We particularly appreciated the healthy and delicious meals she provided, the thorough daily diaries and communication, and the wide variety of books, toys, and activities available. The diverse learning opportunities and experiences she offered were invaluable and played a significant role in preparing our son for school.
As our son moves on to his next chapter, we are confident he will continue to flourish, and much of that confidence comes from the strong foundation Elaine has helped build. Her dedication, patience, and passion for childcare have had a lasting impact on our son and our family.
Thank you, Elaine, for everything you have done. We wholeheartedly recommend you to any family looking for a loving, supportive, and exceptional childminding environment.

My little girl has been going to Tracy since april.
From day 1 she settled in really well, and she still absolutely loves going to Tracy. She runs to her on a morning for a cuddle too🥰
The children go out and about to soft plays, parks etc every single day. My little girl really does have the best time with Tracy.
Little girl is very well looked after, with no concerns whatsoever.
I receive messages during the day with photos and a full update on their day.
Takes time on a morning and afternoon to have really lovely conversations.
We are very lucky that Tracy can do drop offs and pick ups for us as i dont drive.
Emily
My little one loves her, he is learning so much with Becky, she is caring, loving and always able to accommodate.
Our son joined Sharon when he was one year old, and we have seen an incredible improvement in his development since then. As a premature baby, he needed extra support, and Sharon has been amazing in helping him build his motor skills, confidence, and independence. She played a huge role in encouraging him to walk and continues to support his speech and communication development.
Most importantly, our son is always happy, comfortable, and excited to spend time with Sharon. She is caring, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the children she looks after. We are extremely grateful for everything she has done and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and nurturing childminder.
