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.
We've had our little girl with Sarah since she was 9 months old and Sarah has been the most amazing and welcoming childminder. From the moment we went over to meet her, she made her feel so welcome and relaxed. She has such a personal approach to childminding and you can tell she really cares and puts her all into what she does. Our daughter loves going there! They go one many exciting trips out and we always get updates of how she's doing. Since being with Sarah our little girl has gained so much confidence and her personality is really shining through. We are so glad we managed to get a space with Sarah. Thank you again for being amazing! <3

Cheryl was very professional, compassionate and trustworthy with my two tots and regularly cared for them during the Autumn 2025. She was very reliable and quick to communicate when she was unwell on one occasion. The children looked forward to stories and games together. I would recommend Cheryl for babysitting.
Here’s the first-person version, short and concise:
I am very happy with the care Wafaa provides for my children. She is reliable, kind, and attentive, and manages their different needs and routines with ease. She creates a safe, nurturing environment and communicates clearly at all times. I would happily recommend her to other families.
Both our girls have an incredible time with Claire and on the weekends can’t wait to go back. “When are we going to Claire’s” is on repeat at home.
It’s great that we just turn up and the girls walk straight in, every morning, no fuss because it’s like their second home.
We love seeing all the photo’s of them outside, exploring and playing as kids should.
Claire’s always been accommodating and accessible and we value her feedback on the girls’ developments and appreciate the advice on their progress.
Thanks again Claire
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. From the very beginning, they created a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment where our son has truly thrived. She is kind and attentive, and it’s clear how much care and thought goes into everything they do.
Our child is always happy and excited to go, and we’ve seen such positive development in their confidence, social skills, and learning. We’re kept well informed throughout the day, which gives us peace of mind, and communication has always been excellent.
We couldn’t recommend them enough to any family or friends looking for a caring and professional childminder. They’ve made a positive difference to our family, and we’re so grateful for everything they do.
We love Veronika so much!
My son practically lives at her house, the amount that my husband and I have to work, and he honestly loves going.
Veronika is incredibly flexible and accommodating, which is a huge relief as a working parent.
We get a minimum of an update a day with loads of photos, which never fails to brighten our day.
She’s also incredibly honest about how the day has gone, his behaviour and any tips that work for her.
She’s an absolute godsend! And I don’t know where we’d be without her.

Rita has been absolutely wonderful with my daughter Victoria. She is kind, caring, and very professional, and my daughter always feels happy and safe in her care. Rita is extremely flexible and supportive, especially with weekend arrangements and pick-ups from school, which has been a huge help for our family.
She always prepares healthy and delicious food, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the children’s wellbeing. My daughter enjoys her time so much and is always comfortable and relaxed with her.
I truly appreciate Rita’s communication, availability, and warm approach. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a reliable and loving childminder.

Kirsty is an amazing childminder and I’d highly recommend her. I was extremely nervous leaving my 1 year for the first time but Kirsty has been fantastic. My little boy is so happy when we arrive at Kirsty’s so it’s lovely knowing that he is happy while in Kirsty’s care. I have regular updates on how my little boy boy is doing and Kirsty plans engaging activities for the children. I can’t thank Kirsty enough for the nurturing support she has given to my little boy.
Denise has been with our family since my girls were 2.5 years & 5 months old. They are now 11.5 & 9.5 years old. Never in a million years could we have imagined at the beginning that this would have lasted for so long but as needs changed over-time, there was always a way to adapt and keep Denise with us and her willingness to be flexible and make it work has been appreciated enormously. She has an incredibly close bond with the girls and has been a friend and infinite support for me personally throughout. I originally interviewed 24 people for the role and knew instinctively she was "the one" but little did I realise to the extent that she truly has been over the years.
After a busy career based in London with a lot of travel commits, my world has changed considerably and I now WFH. The girls are much older now and unfortunately we just don't have the hours of need/cover that we once did. She remains an indisputable part of our family and someone who will be in our lives forever. The girls wouldn't be who they are today without the care, love, support, guidance and consistency Denise has provided throughout their lives.
I don't have the words to provide a good enough rating or recommendation but would be happy to speak further (if needed) with any family fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Denise in the future.
We recently hired geneane and are so impressed with her work. From day one, she has been 100% punctual and professional. More importantly, she is wonderful with my son; he felt comfortable with her right away. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her services to any family.She is very reliable.
Sara is not only a fantastic childminder she has become a family friend. Any children in her care are lucky as they are given lots of opportunities to try different things, and celebrate lots of different events. Sara supported us through family changes and a world pandemic. She goes the extra mile and I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone.
There are no words to express how appreciative we are of Samiya and her team. I was lucky enough to come across her on my way to dropping off my daughter at nursery; every time I walked past her house, I would hear this bubbly, friendly person surrounded by children being picked up by their parents, and she always seemed so happy. I began to get curious with every passing day, and for me it was night and day when it came to pick ups compared to the nursery. I could clearly see that my daughter wasn’t as happy or thriving there as the children at Samiya’s.
Working 50+ hours a week and often having to make last minute arrangements, Samiya was incredibly accommodating and helpful, even though the transition from nursery to her place was very last minute. I could see a huge difference in my daughter’s demeanour, and it felt as though I was dropping her off with a family member.
I also have to add that, for a toddler, she had more of a social life at Samiya’s than I did haha with trips to Sky Garden and Chinatown. You can really see how much effort Samiya and her amazing team put into organising activities and events. They provide everything from nappies to baby formula and cook freshly prepared meals; my little one no longer came home hungry like she did when she was at nursery. It was also very reassuring to see my daughter excited to be dropped off to Samiya. I’m forever grateful for Samiya and feel extremely lucky to have stumbled upon her. It is so rare to find a childminder as dedicated and loving as she is. She used to be a school teacher, so she is very experienced with children of all age groups. We only had to leave due to relocating to a different country, and we will miss her terribly.
Darshna looks after my child so well. She’s super flexible and reliable, and meals, play, and nap times are always consistent. She encourages learning through play and keeps me updated on my child’s day via an app. I really appreciate the care and attention she gives. 100% recommend!
Our little girl has been with Marietta for 3 years and Marietta has been super amazing! Reliable, trustworthy, caring, gifted with children, creative activities with little ones, active and dedicated.
Our daughter has flourished under Marietta's guidance, and we have seen tremendous growth and development in our daughter. Marietta's dedication and support have been truly remarkable, and we are incredibly grateful for the positive impact made on her early education journey. Marietta been so caring and loving, and to Jasmine she has been like her granny as she is closer to her more than her real grandmothers since we live in different countries. For us, Marietta is family.
Dear Marietta, thank you for your support each time we needed extra help due to any of our work circumstances, we are so grateful.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to find Emerald. From the very start she’s been calm, flexible, and intuitive, and the difference that’s made to our home has been huge.
Emerald uses initiative brilliantly and is happy to adapt to what’s needed on the day, whether that’s practical help around the house or getting fully absorbed in play. She’s been really on board with helping us make our space more functional, which will make a massive difference to how the household runs and feels.
She has a very natural way of getting on children’s level, respecting them, reading their cues, and meeting them where they are. She can be silly and playful when that’s what helps, but also steady and sensible when things need grounding. Emerald says she doesn’t have a lot of experience with neurodivergent children, but it was clear from my first conversation with her that she had a deep understanding of them. She makes an effort to recognise what they need, even down to letting them know she was planning a haircut in case it took them by surprise. So she’s extremely thoughtful as well.
What’s stood out most is the way she’s built a genuine connection with my son, who has previously struggled to form bonds with adults outside our family. Seeing him engaged, relaxed, and regulated with her has been huge for us. The house already feels calmer and more settled.
She also checks in with me, collaborates rather than takes over, and makes suggestions while still respecting how we do things as a family. She’s warm, approachable, practical, and very down to earth - someone who just quietly gets on with things in a way that makes life feel more manageable, and she is somehow able to just slide into the family dynamic, which has made the process of hiring her feel like something I should have done years ago.
I would recommend Emerald in an instant.

I met Ilona earlier this week when we needed very last-minute childcare for our daughter Lily, and honestly, she was incredible. From the moment she arrived, she put us completely at ease and Lily took to her straight away. She was so calm, warm, and natural with her, and we felt 100% confident knowing Lily was in such safe and caring hands. We’re beyond grateful for her flexibility and professionalism, and I truly can’t wait to work more with her! I would recommend Ilona without hesitation!
