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.
Kelly is not just a childminder, she is an extension of your family. She will care for your child as if they are her own, instilling them with impeccable values, kindness, confidence, skills, knowledge and curiosity that will set them up for life. Our daughter has learned more from Kelly than we ever could have imagined, and I have never questioned for a single second whether we made the right decision in choosing her as a carer. I have, in fact, recommended her to multiple parents. Kelly and her whole family have made my daughter feel safe, happy and fulfilled since the moment she started at just under one-year old. Her home is cosy and welcoming, her manner is so gentle and kind and her skills are second to none. She has been our partner in raising our child, offering gentle guidance, strategies, encouragement and advice when we've asked for it. Without family nearby, Kelly has been our village. Her creative approach and application of learning across the EYFS curriculum keeps children engaged, entertained and stretches them immeasurably. Her communication is clear and comprehensive, providing daily pictures and updates. She is fair and accepting of all children, and flexible with parents too, understanding the challenges working parents face. If you are looking for a home away from home where your child can truly be themself, thrive and learn while having fun, look no further. We are only saying 'see you soon' to Kelly because we have moved, and our daughter has the confidence and drive to start a new chapter at nursery. We will miss her terribly. Any child would be lucky to be in her care.
Nanny Hannah is simply wonderful and has taught us so much through the first few years of parenthood with our two kids. If we could take her with us on our next moving adventure we would!! Couldn't ask for a more caring, compassionate, gentle human who has become part of our family. It's hard to find the balance between a caregiver who lets the parents be the 'hero' but also becomes a star of the kid's world. We miss you already!

Hollie looks after my two children and she is amazing with them. She is warm and caring and the kids absolutely love going to Hollie’s. I’ve never seen my kids settle in so quickly with someone new. We could not be happier with Hollie’s care. Thank you so much, you’ve been absolutely wonderful.

We are very happy with Durrey and truly appreciate the care, patience, and warmth she shows every day. Our child feels safe, happy, and well looked after, which gives us great peace of mind. We would highly recommend her to other families. Thanks for looking after Eshaara so well❤️

Ffion is a fantastic babysitter, easy to communicate with, friendly and arrived promptly. She babysat for our 8 month old baby in the hotel while we could enjoy a family party and kept us updated throughout. Would definitely recommend her for babysitting jobs and hope to use her again if we need a babysitter next time we are in Swansea :)
I will forever be greatful for the service that Kay provided. While attending Kay's, Robin made new friends to play with. At the end of each day he would smile and chat non stop. Each week he will be out and about from safari park to soft play. He loved it. I absolutely recommend.
Shabana very happily came to my rescue to look after my 16 month old at the last minute. Being new to the world of needing nannies, I was very anxious, but Shabana was able to alleviate my fears. She was able to play learning games with my baby and take him out for a walk. We had a very good experience and would definitely recommend
Seda has been part of our family for 3 weeks now, helping me with my new born son whilst I focus on our toddler during a period where my husband is busy.
We are so grateful for Seda help and support during this time. Seda has been warm and gentle with our son, taking exceptional care of him which include his feeding, bathing, sleep management and playtime. My son was instantly comfortable with her, and took to her really well which was a relief. Seda also has been amazing with my older son, encouraging play time with the two, helping him adjust with the baby and giving him attention as well so he doesn’t feel left out.
Seda has been giving me great tips and has helped to put in place bath and bedtime routines which has been helpful. We look forward to the days that Seda comes to help.
I also appreciate very much that Seda is available to help with extra hours even when I ask last minute, and she doesn’t leave without setting me up for success if it means changing and feeding the baby. I always feel comfortable to take over when she leaves. I am ever so grateful for her support and help during this busy time.
I will keep in touch with her and hope that she will continue to help us for a while.
Thank you Seda!
Dawn is a wonderful tutor who is very engaging, patient, and supportive. She tailored her sessions to my neurodivergent son’s needs and used a wide range of interactive activities, including cooking experiments that combined maths and reading skills, which kept him engaged and motivated. She also wrote clear, helpful weekly reports to track my son’s progress over time. I would highly recommend Dawn for her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care.
We have had the privilege to have Katie as our private nanny. She is polite, personable, reliable and trustworthy. Katie has helped me navigate family life as a single mum with two older children and a newborn. She is dependable, wonderfully caring, loving and nothing is too much trouble. She has sole care of the children including light housework which has enabled me to recover from childbirth and get back to work. Katie is 100% part of the family and she will be sorely missed in our home. All the best for the future & onwards & we will definitely stay in touch and use Katie in the future as she has a special place in our family’s hearts. Thankyou for all your amazing hard work, love the Clarkes xxx

Leaving my baby with Debbie and team feels like leaving my baby with a trusted Aunt/Nan.
LO was 9mos, very clingy, and not crawling yet when we went with Debbie.
Transferred my Little One (LO) to Debbie's after a subpar experience with a Nursery in town.
I thought I was imagining the bad experience with Nursery until I switch to Debbie's:
1. From day dot, LO was happy getting dropped off and picked up from Debbie's. This was never the case previously. I can feel LO is truly enjoying the setting.
2. LO always comes home clean. For reference, he came home sand-free when they went to the coast with Debbie than when he used to 'enjoy the sandpit' at the Nursery.
3. I feel they genuinely love my LO without the over the top 'positive vibes' that I felt when LO was at Nursery.
4. The experience feels like how I'd care for LO if I wasn't working full time. They go out everyday. They watch TV, but decides and watches as a group,reminds me of how my family does it when I was a kid. They do crafts and LO get to play with different age kids(this is important for me as I know we're one and done)
Can't recommend Debbie, Alec, Carol, and Kristy enough. They are such genuine and caring people to look after my LO.
Deborah was a hit with us and our son from the moment we met her. Calming, confident and clearly and enormous amount of experience and expertise. Deborah was so warm and patient with our baby, he bonded with her right away and it was clear he trusted her. Deborah was communicative and really understanding in the run up to babysitting for us and it really put us at ease. The night itself went so smoothly and we will 100% be booking with her again!

Debbie looked after my son for three and then four days per week from 2y 4m until he started school at 4y 9m. He absolutely adored going to Debbie's house and was so well looked after. They went on outings almost every day, walking into town to go to playgroups, Bounce & Rhyme at the library, visit the Castle, and run errands, as well as trips further afield to the beach, zoo or Broads. Closer to home, in good weather they'd often spend much of the day in the park. When at the house, they did a mixture of free play in the house and garden, organised games, crafts and a bit of TV to chill out. I always felt well informed about what he'd been up to each day, and he was supported to learn age appropriate skills and topics throughout. With over 30 years of childminding experience, Debbie was also full of wisdom to share about thorny topics like potty training. The children all had fun together and were like a little family. We still see lots of them for playdates now.
Debbie continues to babysit for us, and we still feel part of the extended Little Pixies family. I have no hesitation in recommending her to other parents.
She is very kind, compassionate, and gentle tutor who immediately built a strong bond with my autistic son.
Her calm approach made him feel comfortable and supported from the very first session. She adjusted the material accordingly after few sessions.
The sessions flowed smoothly, and it was clear she understands and connects with children’s individual needs.

First of all let me start by saying how amazing Nagma (aunt and Yaya are, my boy loves meeting Aunt Nagma each morning and loves jumping into her hands as sh is always welcoming, and yaya has is amazing with all the effort she puts in with child care.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our childminders, From the moment my child walks through the door, they are welcomed with warmth, patience, and genuine care. Every day is filled with fun activities, learning opportunities, and thoughtful routines that make my child feel safe, happy, and excited to return.
One thing that always stands out is how clean, organised, and well-maintained her home is. You can tell they takes great pride in creating a safe, hygienic and comfortable space for the children.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found them, and I couldn’t recommend Cute1s more highly.
My twin boys have been with Donna for just shy of a year and they have had the absolute best time with her. Her name is one of the first words they said which goes to show the love they have for her! Donna and Gary are a brilliant team, and really show their love and commitment to your children. We couldnt have asked for a better childminder to help us all ease into their first year of childcare. I really couldnt recommend them enough. Absolutely superb. Thank you for being amazing 👏🏻

Yolanda is a very dedicated and passionate childminder who is very enthusiastic and really enjoys what she does. My daughter has been in her care for a few months now and has built an amazing, trusting and loving relationship. My daughter is always excited to see Yolanda and has great fun with her whether that is learning phonics, singing, dancing. Yolanda is reliable, flexible and offers great support for our daughter. Yolanda offers a safe environment in her home and garden perfect for children to have fun and thrive.

Nanditha has been looking after my 7 year old daughter every Monday since 1 December 2025. She is kind, patient, and very understanding, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident in her care.
She is also an excellent emergency childminder, always willing to step in when needed and accommodating our requirements at short notice. Nanditha is attentive to our daughter’s needs and handles everything with care and professionalism.
We are very happy with the support she provides and would highly recommend her to other parents.
Finding the right childcare was important to me when I was choosing schools and I'm am so so glad we found Vicky. She's made such a difference to my daughter's life in ways that go well beyond the school drop-offs and pick-ups.
Since starting with her, my daughter's social skills have really improved. She's become much more confident around other children and enjoys interacting with them. Vicky has been patient, kind and encouraging, which has really helped her come out of her shell.
What really shows how much she enjoys it is that she asks to go, even on days when she's not scheduled, she even gets upset when I pick her up a few minutes early as she always wants to stay to the end!
She genuinely loves spending time there, and I can see how well cared for she is. It's a lovely, warm environment where she feels super comfortable and happy.
I honestly can't put into words what a difference this has made to both of us since she started school. Vicky has given me peace of mind and helped my daughter thrive, and I'm eternally grateful for that .
