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.
Wendy has been an incredible childminder to our daughter for the past two years.
The care she provides is truly amazing. She has actively helped our daughter develop and grow in so many ways during this time. We have total confidence that our daughter is in safe, loving hands—she is nurtured, cherished, and supported in every way possible.
For anyone looking for a dedicated and loving childcare provider, we honestly cannot recommend Wendy highly enough.
Deborah was on time, attentive and my kids loved her.
From the very first interaction, she was professional, warm, and understanding to our needs. This was my first time ever using a sitter and I felt very comfortable with her and at peace while I was out, knowing she was taking good care of my kids.

Our daughter has been with Lesley since she was about 11 months old, and a year later we still can’t believe how lucky we were to find her. As first time parents, the whole childcare decision felt overwhelming, but we knew we wanted a true home from home, not a big nursery where she might get lost in the crowd. From day one she settled straight in and completely took to Lesley.
All we wanted was for her to be safe, happy, and to have fun! She’s had all of that and more! She barely gives us a wave at drop off now because she’s too busy sprinting to Lesley’s front door, while we trail behind carrying her bag.
She wakes up excited to see her friends, spends the car ride chatting away, and comes home happily worn out from the adventures they’ve had that day. We get regular updates and photos, which always make us smile, and sometimes make us wonder if she prefers Lesley’s cooking to mum and dad’s.
Lesley is genuinely wonderful, warm, caring, affectionate, and completely devoted to the children she looks after. Our daughter adores her, and we couldn’t imagine a better person to trust with her each day.

Ali has slotted in superbly as our babysitter: her friendly nature has made it easy for our boys to bond with her and we have found it easy from the offset to trust her. She always listens to routines and respects them, brilliant communication which actually means you can have the reassurance to relax when out. I genuinely wouldn’t want anyone else looking after our boys and they are always excited when we say “Ali’s babysitting tonight” which to be fair, speaks for itself! Best decision we made to enable us to enjoy some much needed one on one time together, which as parents we don’t always get. As you can tell; Ali is very highly regarded in our house and we would advocate for her wherever possible.

I couldn’t recommend Mandy more — she was absolutely fantastic. We booked her for two days to look after our two-and-a-half-year-old while we attended a family wedding, and from the moment we met her we felt completely at ease. She bonded with our son straight away; she was patient, fully engaged with him, and had such a calm and caring manner.
Mandy handled everything wonderfully, from playtime and potty training to mealtimes and bedtime. She was also incredibly flexible with our schedule, which we greatly appreciated and which allowed us to fully enjoy the wedding weekend.
Jana has had our little boy for a few months and has helped him learn so many new things. She always updates us with photos of his day and keeps us up to date with his naps and what he eats, shes been so lovely to us and our little boy who started with her at 10 months old and he absolutley loves seeing her as well. Couldn't recommend someone more!
Our little boy started with Lisa, just before his first birthday! We could not be happier with the decision that we made when choosing Lisa. She cares for him like her own and we have absolutely no concerns at all when he is with Lisa, we know that he is in very safe hands, he is cared for, loved and having a brilliant time with all his little friends.
Would recommend her to anyone
I couldn’t recommend Little Step enough! My kids have been with Shamsa and Amarrah for a few months now, and they absolutely love spending time there. The whole family gets involved, and they’re all such kind, genuine, down-to-earth people.
As a single parent, their support has meant so much to me, they’ve always been understanding, flexible, and ready to help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and anything else that comes up. They truly go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and feel at home.
My kids are always busy with fun, engaging activities both inside and outside the house, and they come home full of stories and smiles. It really feels like a second home for them.
Thank you, Shamsa and Amarrah, for everything you do, you’re absolutely brilliant! 💛
I cannot describe how grateful I am that we found Donna. She has been amazing in every aspect while we got our little girl established at Little Pips. Our daughter has settled in so well and has developed lots of new skills already! I was incredibly anxious about starting our daughter in a childcare setting but Donna has understood and eased all my anxieties along the way. Her communication is excellent, she keeps us updated and is so attentive to our daughters needs. The set up at Little Pips is excellent as well and you can see just how much effort has and is going in to creating the perfect safe space for little ones!
Miss Fad has been an exceptional tutor for my son. His reading skills and confidence have improved remarkably under her guidance. She combines patience with a structured, engaging approach that truly brings out the best in my son. I am very grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to any parent seeking a skilled and supportive tutor. My son's reading wouldn't have improved without fads extra help.
Our son has been with Lesley since he was 11 months old and has always been very happy in her care. Lesley provides a real home from home experience and genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after. She takes the children out every day and does lots of activities in the local area. We get regular updates and lots of photos throughout each day. Lesley is very flexible and recently looked after our daughter during school holidays and she also loved being at Lesley’s. We couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for our son.
My daughter is 5 years of age, autistic and pre-verbal with alot of other sensory issues. I have always been her main carer, so my biggest concern was how is she going to adjust with somebody else and how is the babysitter going to understand my daughters needs. I initially booked BH childcare for a family wedding to help me support my daughter on the events at the venue, so I can enjoy little bit myself. I was amazed that BH childcare first of all provided that service, so we booked her straight away, very early in advance. It was very easy and clear communication with BH childcare. She let me explain all of my daughters needs, I sent her my daughters ehcp, paediatrician notes and all the other notes from other professionals. She understood it very well and was very happy to work with my daughter. I requested to have a look at BH childcare's documents for my satisfaction and she did not have any issues at all and gave me that access for my peace of mind.
Now before the events I wanted to see how my daughter will be with BH childcare, so I booked her to spend the day with my daughter. And oh my god I was so satisfied and so much at ease after she spent the day at our house while I was out. I came back home and saw my daughter smiling, because I was so nervous the first time, Bh childcare sent me updates throughout the day while I was out. My sister was present in the house too working from home, just incase there were any issues while I was out, even she mentioned that I could hear my daughter laughing and giggling and singing. When I came back home Bh childcare explained the activities that they did, my daughter was fed, nappy changed, clothes changed. I was so so so happy and satisfied and at peace to find that I will have an amazing time for the initial event bookings.
BH childcare came early on the event dates, which I was very glad because she helped get my daughter ready. While I enjoyed, my daughter also enjoyed her time at the venue, bh childcare helped me take amazing pictures with my daughter, she fed her, made her comfortable, changed her at the end of the event, we had a separate room for her as well. And we made memories and had an amazing time. On the events BH childcare went out of her way to help me on the day as a single parent. So supportive, I cannot thank her enough. I will definitely recommend BH childcare to everyone out there and I am glad I have found BH childcare.
We have been so lucky to have Vesna help us with school drop offs and pick ups for the last 4 years. Vesna is wonderful, caring, trustworthy and funny! She always has the children’s best interest at heart and genuinely loves what she does. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!! Cxx
Karla spend a few hours with our two primary-school age sons this weekend and they are asking when she's coming next. She's very responsive in communications with us, and has lots of positive energy for the time child-led games. Whether it's lego, basketball, chess, or setting up a home disco – she's taking it in her stride.
Agreed and booked in advance but was a no show on the day. Gave address in advance but received no advance warning to say they were not coming. No communication on the day even after messaging this babysitter.
Might be a great babysitter but did not get a chance to experience.
Not 100% reliable. I almost missed out on my friends wedding day.
We needed support for my 1.5 year old daughter to enable working commitments. Kavita was able to provide the flexibility we were looking for. To have a place where your child is happy is rare and I had the confidence when leaving her at Happy house childminder for she was happily looking forward to going in. I know each child is different but for my child not to cry when I left her was so relieving and I was able to focus on my work as I was confident she was in safe hands. My daughter learnt so much from speech, nursery rhymes, numbers, letters and by the time she left in September 2025 to join reception she could write her name. The experience she had helped with easy transition to reception. Thank you team Happy house childminder you are simply the best. Blessings keep doing what you are doing.
Maria has been an absolute star for our family. She has cared for my two autistic children on numerous occasions — from short jobs and longer daytime shifts to overnight stays — and she’s been wonderful every single time. She’s always on time, completely dependable, and someone I trust without hesitation.
What I appreciate most is how kind, patient, and understanding she is. She really takes the time to get to know each of my children, learning what makes them feel comfortable and supported. Her calm and gentle approach has made such a positive difference, and my kids absolutely love spending time with her — they’re always excited when she comes over!
She’s great at keeping routines, managing bedtime smoothly, and keeping the children happily engaged throughout the day. I’ve never had a single problem or worry while she’s been looking after them. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine care and warmth.
I couldn’t recommend Maria highly enough — any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
