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.
Laura regularly looks after our three children and has become an integral part of our family life. The children love spending time with her and are always excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the care and attention she gives them.
She is incredibly capable and proactive—whether it’s preparing meals, keeping things tidy, or ensuring the children are engaged, happy, and well cared for. She’s brilliant at creating structure and developing good routines, while still making everything fun.
Laura is reliable, warm, and completely trustworthy. We feel very lucky to have her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family.
My twin girls started with Michelle at just 7 months old. She was recommended to us by a neighbour, who spoke so highly of her—but even then, we never imagined the girls would receive such an incredible childcare experience.
Michelle is kind, patient, honest, and has the warmest heart. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the children in her care have the best possible experience.
We only gave up our spaces due to relocating, and we are so sad to be leaving her. She is truly one of a kind, and we will miss her very much.
My son has been with Zelly since before he could even walk. She is an amazing childminder, a wonderful mum, and a truly kind person. She knows exactly how to care for each child and always treats them with warmth and patience.
There hasn’t been a single day when Sebi woke up without asking to go to Zelly — that says everything.
We are so sad to say goodbye, but we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare

Casey has been babysitting for us since our little one was around 1.5 years old. We first met her at our previous nursery, where she worked with toddlers, so she brings great experience and confidence in caring for young children.
She comes on weekdays and weekends, both during the day and in the evening, and has often been available at short notice.
Olivia absolutely adores Casey—every time she arrives, Olivia gets so excited and can’t wait to show her all her toys and share her stories. Casey takes care of meal times, bath time and bedtime, and somehow works her magic so Olivia sleeps through the night (even when going through sleep regression!) and wakes up a very happy bunny in the morning.
Whenever Casey is with us, we feel completely at ease knowing both our home and our little one are in safe hands. She is confident managing routines independently and always ensures Olivia is safe, settled, and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Olivia with her at any time.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable babysitter. She is always polite, responsive, and a real pleasure to work with—and most importantly, our child truly loves spending time with her.
Zowie joined our family in September, when our son Alexander was just turning one. She has been with us for the past six months, and we truly couldn’t be happier with her.
She has built a wonderful bond with Alexander—he absolutely loves her—and it’s clear how caring and attentive she is with him. Zowie is fully in charge of all childcare duties when we are away, and we always feel completely reassured knowing our son is safe, happy, and well looked after in her care.
In addition to caring for Alexander, Zowie is incredibly helpful around the house. She often takes the initiative with cleaning and organising, and we are frequently pleasantly surprised to find things done that we simply hadn’t had the chance to get to ourselves.
Zowie brings a wealth of experience, which really shows in the way she handles everything with confidence and calmness. Her warm, proactive, and reliable nature makes her a truly valuable part of our household.
We would highly recommend Zowie to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and experienced nanny.

Zowie has been with our family for just over a year, and we will be very sad to see her go this summer. During her time with us, she has built a truly special bond with our son, and I know he will miss her just as much as we will miss her presence and support.
Zowie has been consistently reliable and communicative, always giving plenty of notice if any changes to her schedule were needed. She is punctual,often arriving early,and approaches her work with a positive and proactive attitude.
She has supported us not only with childcare, but also with cooking, cleaning, and laundry, and has always been willing to help with any additional ad hoc tasks when needed. Her flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile have been invaluable to our family.
We are incredibly grateful for everything Zowie has done for us and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any future family.
Both Holly and Mel are super nurturing, attentive and work collaboratively with us if there are any changes for our son’s needs. Holly and Mel accommodated our son’s dietary requirements with ease and we have always felt that our son is safe and cared for.
Holly and Mel maintain good communication and our son loves attending Mini Marvels.
We sent our son Rémy to Syeda's when he was 10 months old and never looked back. From the very first day, her warmth and care for the children has been second to none.
Syeda and her wonderful assistants took Rémy to on daily outings to music classes, the library and the playground as well as enjoying her welcoming home and outside space. Rain or shine, she would make sure they got out and did something or had a cute activity like painting to do if it was really too bad to go outside.
Syeda really has been a partner to us in raising Rémy, cultivating his love of reading and he often comes home singing songs he's learnt at the classes they go to. She has encouraged Rémy with making great friends with the other kids in her setting and at age 3 she has played a big part in shaping him to be kind, helpful and independent.
We had a negative experience of a local nursery with our daughter with constant staff changes and lack of communication but our experience with Syeda couldn't have been any different. Every morning Rémy is met with a warm hug from Syeda where he happily runs in. We get daily updates and photos of all the fun they've been up to that day. And over the weekend, Rémy is constantly talking about what he wants to show or tell Syeda on Monday morning.
There has never been a doubt in my mind that Rémy wasn't in the best hands possible at Syeda's. We're going to miss her so much and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to everyone and anyone.
I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE EXCELLENT LEVEL OF CARE AND PROFESSIONALISM SHE CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATES. STACY IS ALWAYS EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL AND DEDICATED, WHO HASA NATURAL ABILITY TO BUILD STRONG AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS NOT ONLY WITH CHILDREN BUT ALSO WITH PARENTS. HER WARM AND APPROACHABLE MANNER CREATES A POSITIVE AND REASURING ATHMOSPHERE FOR FAMILIES.
THE SETTING SHE PROVIDES IS SAFE, NURTURING, WELL ORGANISED.
OVERALL STACY IS HIGHLY RELIABLE AND COMPASSIONATE CHILDMINDER WHO CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS A HIGH STANDARD OF CARE.
Chapel House Childcare has been fantastic for our family. Both of our children have attended for several years, and the care has always been warm, reliable, and genuinely home‑from‑home. Clare made us feel at ease from the very first visit, and both children settled quickly.
Communication is excellent, with holiday dates shared early and any changes explained clearly. The transition to Clare and Lisa working together (a few years ago) was seamless, and my children have built lovely bonds with them both. They enjoy every session and always comes home happy. Infact our 6 year old asks me if she can go to Clare's in the holidays as she has so much fun!
We highly recommend Clare for flexible, caring, and trustworthy wrap‑around care.
Shadia has not been with us very long but our 3.5 y.o. very quickly adopted her. Shadia is very respectful and organised, also giving numerous updates during the day which is truly valuable and reassuring as a parent. She insists on good manners and is really proactive in playing, learning and getting to know the world. We are a French speaking family but our daughter felt very comfortable switching to English within days and is now more confident that she was before. We are very pleased and would recommend Shadia to friends.

Lorna has helped my eldest daughter
for the past few years, mainly with maths, and we could not be more grateful for the difference she has made. Not only is Lorna a brilliant teacher, but she is also amazing at the psychology of learning . She built my daughters confidence and love for learning, and really understood the ways to get her engaged and moving forward.
We are so pleased to have met Lorna and will absolutely continue using her for support with all our girls. Our middle is loving her lessons and Lorna already understands their different learning needs entirely!
We had the incredible privilege of having Zsuzsa as our nanny from the time our son was six months old until he was two and a half. During those two years she became an irreplaceable part of our daily life, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Zsuzsa arrived every morning at 8am without fail and was consistently punctual and dependable. From the moment she arrived she would take over our son's full daily care – dressing him, feeding him, changing nappies, putting him down for naps and planning engaging activities throughout the day.
As our son grew older she regularly took him to playgrounds, playgroups, museums and indoor play spaces, always ensuring he was active, stimulated and happy. She knows countless songs, rhymes and games and has an incredible natural creativity when it comes to entertaining and developing young children.
During nap times she would take care of everything related to the child and the household around him – laundry, tidying the kitchen, organising toys, washing and folding clothes, restocking nappies and wipes and keeping our son’s wardrobe perfectly organised. She always noticed when supplies were running low and made sure everything was prepared in advance.
What truly sets Zsuzsa apart is her extraordinary work ethic. She is tireless, proactive and always looking for ways to help. If there was ever a quiet moment she would immediately find something useful to do – tidying, organising, cleaning or preparing things for the child. She never sat on her phone and approached every task with care and dedication.
Most importantly, Zsuzsa loved our son as if he were her own grandchild. You could see genuine warmth and affection in every interaction – the way she spoke to him, comforted him and held him when he fell asleep in her arms. Our son absolutely adored her and often referred to her as his grandmother. The bond between them was truly special.
I should also mention that I am a stay-at-home father and worked from home during most of the time Zsuzsa was with us. Because of this I was able to observe her closely every day, and I can confidently say that she treated our child with patience, kindness and care at all times. It was also a pleasure working alongside her – she is respectful, discreet and naturally considerate in the home.
Zsuzsa left our family only because our son started nursery, but if we have another child we would welcome her back without hesitation.
Any family would be extremely fortunate to have Zsuzsa caring for their children. She is trustworthy, hardworking, loving and truly exceptional at what she does.
Although Zsuzsa may not have many written reviews yet, we spoke with other families she had worked for before hiring her. They all praised her highly, and after two years with us we can confirm that everything they said was absolutely true.
My daughter went to Tina's for 4 years, from the age of 1 to 4 years old and we couldn't be more grateful to have found Tina to look after her. Tina is patient and kind and she creates a loving, respectful, and fun environment for the children in her care. Anna loved going there from the beginning and over time Tina became a second mother to her. The days are organised around free play, activities (messy play, singing, story time, outings to the local parks), and food time. Tina has experience with the early years curriculum and also teaches the children phonics and maths. My daughter also loved Tina's homemade food. As a parent, we appreciated the "home away from home" environment; Tina's kind and patient behaviour towards the children and the personal relationship she clearly builds with each of the children in her care; as well as her flexibility. I could not recommend Tina enough, she's amazing.
Halima is a trusted and reliable person and good in building good relationships with the child and the whole family. Halima started looking after my children way back even before becoming a registered child minder. Children are well looked after under her care, feels happy and comfortable, to me is like a home away from home, am less anxious and able to concentrate when my child is with her, without forgetting she is a good cook too. I recommend her to parents who are looking for carrying and safe environments for their children.
I started bringing my daughter to Nancy when she was just 8 months old, and she’s now 14 months - the growth I’ve seen in her is honestly mind-blowing!
As a first-time mum, I was naturally very nervous, but Nancy immediately put me at ease by sending regular updates and photos, which she still does to this day. It honestly makes such a difference and gives me so much reassurance.
Nancy is incredibly attentive, caring, and you can genuinely see how much she loves all the children she looks after. My daughter absolutely adores her and her family - it’s always a struggle getting her to leave at home time! 😂
The environment is clean, warm, and welcoming - there’s truly nothing to fault. I plan to keep my daughter with Nancy for as long as possible. Choosing her was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. 10/10! 🤗
Rebecca came to stay last weekend while my husband and I went off to do a course. She was fantastic. The kids absolutely love her. I felt confident leaving Rebecca knowing she would sort it as I was very disorganised and hadn’t got food in etc
She got the oldest to his football fixture, took the kids out and about, homework done, cooked a roast which I got told was better than mine. Can’t wait to have her back! Thank you so much and I would highly recommend.

Our family would never have enough words to express how lucky we feel to have had our daughter at Bumblebee.
Our previous nursery closed unexpectedly, and Kelci welcomed us so warmly during what was a very stressful time. Looking back, we feel incredibly lucky that it happened, as it led us to her.
Our daughter has grown into a chatty, respectful, and funny toddler, surrounded by love and care. Always smiling to see her friends, Kelci and Gi!
Bumblebee is a setting where children are nurtured with creativity and kindness. Kelci is always surprising us with new activities, the children’s menu is fantastic, and the outdoor area is lovely.
As we are moving countries, when people ask what we will miss most about London, Bumblebee is one of the first things we mention ❤️
I had a really positive experience with SLT. I mostly needed them for breakfast club and afterschool pick up. They took great care of my daughter, and she felt happy and comfortable there. She always looked forward to going, which says a lot about the comfortable environment and the people.
Simone, Savannah and Carla were consistently good-natured, warm, and friendly. They always made us both feel welcome. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in capable and caring hands.
I would definitely recommend this childcare provider to others looking for a supportive, safe, nurturing and fun place for their child.
