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.
I sent my son mikael to bibi, as a new parent I was (like most parents) sceptical and anxious sending my 1 year old child to a child minder and safe to say she has been nothing but outstanding and amazing! Really super proud at how well my son has excelled in his confidence, his mannerisms, speech and overall growth! You should be really proud bibi aunty we really enjoyed seeing mikaels growth, love and confidence around you, he enjoyed coming to you every single day even the days off haha! There is nothing more special than to see your child happy, this eased myself and partners mind and we are truly grateful for the experience mikael had with you. Thank you for all your help and support! My advice to new parents searching for child minders is to please see my comment and install your trust in booking bibi, she is truly exceptional and I wish you nothing but happiness in everything you attain! Best wishes from faheema and mohsin.
Zizi Valley is a very professional childminder with excellent communication, well organised, very kind and approachable.
I highly recommend this childminder for her exceptional professionalism, excellent communication and caring nature. She is kind, approachable, patient, genuinely committed to providing a safe, nurturing and supportive environment for children. She communicates clearly and respectfully, reliable, attentive and consistently demonstrates a high level of dedication and responsibility. Her warm and welcoming personality makes both me and my child feel comfortable and valued. Overall, she is an outstanding childminder who goes above and beyond to ensure the wellbeing, happiness and development of every child in her care.
Mariam was wonderful with my daughter. She engaged with her so well, and my daughter really enjoyed spending time with her. She was kind, attentive, and made my daughter feel comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend Mariam to other parents looking for a caring and reliable babysitter!
My son started at Little Tiddlers at 10 months old and has now been there for nearly two years. We couldn’t be happier! Our son is so settled and happy with them. They are so supportive and regularly in communication with us, sending updates and photos. They use a daily communication book so we know what they’ve been up to, food, naps, nappy changes etc.
Our son struggles with separation and speech but absolutely loves Jo, Vicki and Donna and they have been so supportive of his development. They have all got to know him so well and he loves all the activities they do with him.
We are so grateful to have found Little Tiddlers!
My son has been with Anthea for the last 3 years and I honestly couldn't recommend her enough. Anthea is an amazing childminder who my son absolutely adores. Anthea has always shown my son so much kindness and patience towards my child. Catering to all his needs. Consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my son has a fun day. It's clear that she believes in outdoor learning and now my son loves to explore outside. I received updates regularly throughout the day which gave me reassurance as a parent. Anthea is incredibly professional and is extremely reliable. She created a home away from home experience for my child and she made a difference by supporting a young mum to build a career. Anthea has been such a special part of my son's life and we have been lucky to have her. I would recommend her to any family.
We couldn’t be happier with the care and support Karen has given our son. From the very first day he went to Karen’s, he received such a warm and welcoming reception, which helped him settle in quickly and comfortably with all the other children.
Our son has always been very happy and excited to go to Karen’s, which gives us such peace of mind as parents. Karen is incredibly caring, attentive and understanding, and she creates a lovely, happy environment where the children feel safe, valued and included.
She has also always been extremely quick to reply to any messages and has been wonderfully flexible whenever we’ve needed to make arrangements or changes. Her communication and willingness to accommodate us have made everything so much easier.
We are genuinely grateful to Karen for the care she provides and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, reliable and nurturing childminder. She has been absolutely wonderful!
Shibani provides a very well-rounded, organised and welcoming setting. She is professional, reliable and genuinely caring, always paying close attention to each and every child in her care and supporting their development in all areas.
She provides very valuable feedback, shares lots of photos and videos throughout the day, and gives detailed updates on the activities the children have taken part in. She also builds strong and trusting relationships with the children very easily.
We are very happy with Shibani and would highly recommend her setting to other families.
To our wonderful Minda,
It’s hard to put into words just how much I want to thank you for the incredible, loving care you’ve given my daughter over the past four and a half years—nearly half her little life, and all her most formative, magical early years. You haven’t just looked after her; you’ve nurtured her, guided her, and helped her grow into the bright, kind, confident little girl she is today.
Beyond all the fun, laughter, and safe, happy days you gave her, I’m so grateful for all the life skills you gently taught her—independence, kindness, sharing, how to care for others, curiosity, and so many little daily habits that will stay with her forever. You’ve been such a steady, loving presence, and she’s learned so much from you that we’ll carry with us always.
Saying goodbye has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Even though I know this moment needed to come, and moving on to school is such an exciting, natural next chapter, it’s been so deeply emotional for both of us. You’ve become such a huge part of our lives, and leaving your warm, familiar, wonderful care feels like saying goodbye to someone so very dear.
Thank you for loving her like one of your own, for every hug, every story, every moment of patience and joy. You’ve given her the most perfect start, and I will always be so grateful. She’ll take so much of what you’ve taught her with her as she steps into school, and we’ll miss you terribly.
With all my love and deepest thanks,
Marina & NyNY 💛
We cannot recommend illy highly enough. She has been an absolutely wonderful addition to our family and has provided exceptional care with such warmth, kindness, patience, and professionalism.
From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our child in her care. She is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She always go above and beyond to make sure the child feels happy, safe, supported, and cared for.
What really stands out is the genuine connection she has built with our child. She is engaging, nurturing, and thoughtful, and she always make the effort to create a fun, positive, and stimulating environment. Whether it is through activities, play, outings, or simply being there when needed, she brings so much positivity and care to her role.
She is also extremely responsible and organised. Communication is excellent, she is respectful of our routines and preferences, and she handle’s every responsibility with maturity and good judgement. We have always felt that our child is in safe and capable hands.
Most importantly, she has cared for our child with genuine affection and treats him with the same patience, respect, and kindness that any parent would hope for. Her dedication and commitment have meant so much to us as a family.
Finding someone you can completely trust with your child is incredibly important, and we feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful nanny. We would recommend them without hesitation to any family looking for someone caring, dependable, professional, and truly exceptional.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Most Amazing Childminder Truly One in a Million!
Where do I even begin? After 4.5 incredible years, the time has finally come for my daughter to leave this amazing childminder as she begins the next chapter of her life and starts her school journey. As happy and excited as I am for her, saying goodbye is incredibly emotional because this has been so much more than childcare she has been a huge part of my daughter’s life and development from the very beginning.
From day one right through to her very last day, she has been absolutely outstanding. I genuinely could not have wished for anyone better to care for my daughter. She has always gone above and beyond, not because she had to, but because she truly cares about the children she looks after.
The setting is absolutely wonderful. Her home is spotlessly clean, safe, welcoming, warm and beautifully organised, creating such a lovely environment where children can feel comfortable, happy and secure. Everything is so well thought out, and you can immediately see the amount of effort, love and dedication she puts into providing the best possible experience for the children.
Her organisation is second to none. She plans ahead for the week, thinks carefully about activities, learning, outings and experiences, and always makes sure the children have something fun, educational and meaningful to look forward to. You can see the preparation and thought that goes into everything she does.
But what makes her truly special is the way she cares for the children. She doesn’t simply look after them she nurtures them, teaches them, encourages them, comforts them and celebrates every little milestone with them. She treats every child as an individual and takes the time to understand their needs, personality and development.
She has been there for so many of my daughter’s firsts. From introducing her first foods, helping her take her first steps, supporting her development, and even helping her transition away from her pacifier, she has been there through it all. She has played such an important role in helping my daughter grow from a little girl into the confident, happy and independent child she is today.
There has always been such a wonderful balance between learning, play, routine, creativity and fun. My daughter has come home with so many beautiful memories and experiences that she will carry with her into school and beyond.
As a parent, knowing that your child is safe, loved, cared for and genuinely happy while you are away is priceless. I have always had complete trust in her, and that peace of mind is something I will forever be grateful for.
She has been reliable, professional, caring, patient, organised, attentive and incredibly dedicated. Her communication has always been excellent, and I have always felt informed, included and reassured.
I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any parent considering placing their child in her care should have absolutely no hesitation. You will not regret it. You are not just choosing a childminder you are choosing someone who will become an important part of your child’s life and someone who will genuinely care about their happiness, development and wellbeing.
Thank you for everything you have done over the last 4.5 years. Thank you for every cuddle, every meal, every activity, every outing, every lesson, every milestone, every smile and every moment of care you have given my daughter.
Most importantly, thank you for loving and caring for her as though she were one of your own. ❤️
Although this chapter is now coming to an end as she begins her school journey, the impact you have had on her will stay with us forever. We will always remember the wonderful start you gave her and the beautiful memories you helped create.
You truly are one in a million, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have you.
Thank you for being absolutely amazing from the very first day to the very last. We will miss you more than words can say. ❤️🥹
An outstanding childminder, an incredible person, and someone we will never forget. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We are very happy with Sonali. From the very first meeting, she was warm, attentive and professional, and quickly put together a clear plan based on my daughter’s needs. Most importantly, my daughter really enjoys her sessions with Sonali and always feels comfortable with her. It’s lovely to see her so positive and happy about their time together. We’re very grateful to have found Sonali and would happily recommend her.
Our daughter joined when she was two years old and stayed until she was nearly five. Everyday was exciting and she loved going and seeing all the staff.
It feels like a family run preschool, the staff are always there to answer questions and support the children and parents. It was very apparent only a few months in that my daughter developed skills and was being support to develop further.
We were often gifted with handmade crafts made by the children celebrating Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas. You could see a lot of thought had gone into them.
Happy Days has given our daughter such an amazing start in life. We are so grateful for the love and support all the staff have given her and ourselves.
We would highly recommend Happy Days Preschool to any parent. The staff always go above and beyond, supporting the children and giving them the best memories.
Thank you Happy Days!!
Kayleigh has been a nanny to our twins for the last 11 years, which in itself probably tells you how highly we regard her. We initial met through this website.
With our children starting secondary school, it is (sadly!) time for another family to benefit from the love and care that our children have enjoyed throughout their early years.
We are very happy to provide a more comprehensive reference for prospective familes or answer any questions you may have.
Ashley is a dream childminder, she is very caring, kind, passionate about her role! She has been looking after my daughter now for a few weeks, Darcie-Ann is currently 13 months old and she feels safe, cared for by her! She is always happy to go to her for the day! Darcie-Ann loves to fall asleep cuddling Ashley!
The updates i get through the day reassures me as a first time parent, and her communication is top notch!
I feel comfortable with her, knowing my daughter is in safe hands, my daughters development has come on leaps & bounds since being with Ashley! Her home is beautiful and she has all the right age appropriate toys for her to be able to learn and play with. Ashley also thinks outside the box which I love, eg: They done a hand & footprint on canvas which was a beautiful gift to recieve. Ashley is accommodating and very helpful with times and pick ups as well. She has always been there for us! She genuinely has the biggest heart and is not judgemental at all. I am lucky to have found someone who has the same outlook on a child's journey and how important it is for each individual to learn and grow at their own pace. I am looking forward to her journey with Ashley :-)

When we looked at childminders the plan was to find one until a space became available at our chosen nursery, but then we met Lou! She is just amazing and knew this is where my son was going to stay permanently! He absolutely thrived in her care, starting off so shy and clingy to so happy loud and independent. She gave him the best foundation and confidence ready to start school and I can’t thank her enough for the love and care she provided him in the 2 years he was there, we will miss her so much.

I’m really grateful for all the help and care faree has given my kid. She is kind, patient and genuinely caring, and my kid was always happy and comfortable with her. fareeha has been very reliable and supportive, which made things so much easier for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their children. ❤️
both of my girls went to this nursery. The staff are lovely and warm. They care about the children and their wellbeing.
One of the best things about this nursery is that on special occasions such as Christmas and easter, they go all out with homemade gifts which speaking to others is not something most nurseries would do.
Karen, Carlie and jo are very approachable if you have any concerns.
overall both my daughters really enjoyed going here and I would highly recommend
I would highly recommend Purnima. We absolutely love the care she gives our son, who is 1.5 years old.
We originally started at a nursery setting, but our son didn’t settle at all. There was so much crying and distress over the months we tried, and it was really difficult to see him so unhappy. Then we found Purnima, and instantly, from the moment we walked through the door, we knew he would be happy there.
He has now been with Purnima for 6 months and is so happy and settled. He goes in with a smile and comes home so chatty, babbling & singing about his day. Even after holidays, he is so excited to see Purnima again, and he absolutely loves spending time with her family too!
Purnima is fantastic. She keeps us regularly informed about what the children have been up to and is always so approachable and lovely to communicate with. We have complete confidence in the care she provides, and it is such a relief knowing our son is somewhere he is genuinely happy and loved.
We look forward to continuing our time with Purnima and will definitely be sending our daughter to her too!
