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.
Barbara has cared for our daughter since she was just 6 months old, and now at 4, she is so much more than a childminder — she has become a very special part of our family. She is incredibly caring, experienced and trustworthy, and we have always felt completely confident knowing our daughter was safe, happy and well looked after. Her home is always clean and welcoming, and she has given us so much advice and support over the years, from the little milestones to potty training! We are so grateful for all the love and care she has given our daughter and couldn’t recommend Barbara highly enough. ❤️
Ally has been looking after my 2 children in the holidays and they absolutely love their time there. The environment is warm and inviting. The variety of activities and days out is brilliant and I am very grateful for the care that is provided for my children. Thank you
Emma is a fabulous childminder! She helped us out with a really awkward situation where we only needed half a day a week for a limited time. She was extremely organised, experienced, warm, kind, fun, just absolutely brilliant. I was anxious about leaving my son for the first time, but she made me feel very at ease, sending regular updates.
Emma's house is perfectly set up for babies and toddlers, with a big space, well thought out toy areas, a large garden, everything safe and fun.
My son was 10 months old and loved his time at Emma's. We only wish we could've sent him to Emma for longer, but we moved to south London.
Thank you so much!

After 3yrs in Miha's care my son's heading to big nursery soon. Honestly, I feel he's had the best start I could wish for! He's been loved and cared for in the most safe, age-appropriate and stimulating environment and he's really thrived there. We appreciate the home-from-home feel, mixed with a schedule of activities and outings locally and heaps of play and fresh air. The set-up of two childminders working together is perfect. Small enough that each child is really known and settled (I so valued this, especially at the start) and they tailor things, yet big enough for social skills development, fun and activities. They're like a little family; learning, sharing, caring for each other and the friendships that have grown have been so sweet to see (the parents have become friends too!). Working with Miha over milestones eg potty-training, naps, transitions, I appreciated her experience and also how I never felt fussy if I raised anything. Others have noticed my kids kindness, manners and curiosity and I know it's down to the lovely environment he's been in. If you're lucky enough to discover she has a space - I'd grab it with both hands! A final thing, never once has Miha called in sick or taken time off without weeks of warning. If you're worried about that, you needn't be!

We have been using Rita for almost a year now and we are very pleased with her service. Our daughter attends school locally and Rita supports my wife and I with drop-off and pick ups on some days in the week.
During her time working with us, she has demonstrated consistent care, calmness and professionalism. She has a good relationship with our daughter. We’re grateful to have a great nanny and we look forward to continuing our working relationship.
Jo has cared for our 3 boys over the past 11 years and we honestly couldn’t have picked a better, safer, happier place for them! We are eternally grateful for the amazing start they have all had in life.
Jo has played such an important role in their early lives and they will always remember the time they spent with her.
Most recently, our youngest son has absolutely thrived in Jo’s care. He has loved every moment with her, from the fun activities and little adventures to the warm and comforting environment Jo has created. Her patience, kindness, and creativity have meant the world to him (& us!) and it’s been wonderful to see how happy and confident he is when he’s with her.
We would highly recommend Jo to anyone looking for a childminder, she really is the best! Thank you Jo xxx
We loved sending our daughter to Fiona’s house. It has been a loving and fun environment where she has felt part of the family. Fiona plans her day to accommodate the children in her care. Carefully planning activities at home, playgroups and days out to playgrounds, farms or pet shops. Fiona is great at communicating with us and it is so nice to see the same friendly face every morning and evening. Thank you so much!
Cleo has been a wonderful childminder for my son since he was just nine months old. Her kindness and warm clean home environment have truly nurtured his growth, helping him reach important milestones. She maintains excellent communication with regular updates throughout the day, demonstrating her professionalism and genuine care for his development.
I cannot recommend Ally and her assistant Louise highly enough. They look after both of my boys — my seven-year-old son, who is autistic, and my five-year-old — through their holiday club care and after-school childminding, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and support they provide.
They are incredibly supportive, caring and patient, and they have built such a wonderful rapport with both of my boys. In particular, they have taken the time to understand my seven-year-old’s individual needs as an autistic child and have made him feel safe, secure, heard and trusted from the very first day.
It is clear that Ally and Louise have a genuine understanding of young children and SEN needs. They are knowledgeable, approachable and compassionate, and they treat each child as an individual. Knowing that both of my boys are happy, settled and well cared for gives me such peace of mind as a parent.
Their holiday club activities are fantastic. They organise a brilliant range of activities and take the children on exciting day trips and educational outings, giving them opportunities to learn, explore, socialise and experience new things. Everything is thoughtfully planned to make sure the children have fun while also learning and developing.
Their after-school childminding is equally wonderful. They create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where the boys feel comfortable being themselves. They are not simply supervising the children; they genuinely engage with them, listen to them and encourage them.
Seeing the positive relationship Ally and Louise have built with both of my boys means so much to me. My autistic son, especially, feeling safe and understood in someone else’s care is incredibly important, and they have managed to achieve that beautifully.
Thank you, Ally and Louise, for everything you do. We are so grateful for your kindness, patience, support and dedication. I would highly recommend you to any parent looking for caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy childcare.
Absolutely 5 stars from us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤️
We couldn’t be more grateful for Angela and everything she has done for us. She has been such a huge help and has truly gone above and beyond to support our family. There have been so many occasions when she has helped us out of difficult situations and made everything feel so much easier.
Even when Maeve was unwell, Angela went above and beyond to help us find suitable childcare and made sure we had someone trustworthy to look after her. Her flexibility, kindness and willingness to help have meant so much to us.
Maeve has also learned so much during her time at the FabKidz setting, both socially and developmentally and we have seen her grow in confidence and independence.
We are incredibly thankful for all the support, care and guidance Angela has given us so far. It has been a pleasure working with her and we truly appreciate everything she has done for our family. We would highly recommend Angela and FabKidz to any family looking for caring, reliable and supportive childcare.

I attended a wedding at Hawkstone Hall & Gardens between 21 and 23 August 2026 and had the pleasure of using Hannah's babysitting services for my 13-month-old daughter on the evenings of Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August.
From the moment they met, my daughter immediately warmed to Hannah. She is exceptionally kind, caring and nurturing, which gave us great confidence and reassurance. What stood out most was Hannah's proactive approach. Without needing direction, she took care of everything, from feeding our daughter and taking her for walks to settling her to sleep and liaising with the venue staff whenever anything was needed.
As it was my brother's wedding, my wife and I wanted to make the most of a very special family occasion. Hannah's professionalism and initiative allowed us to be fully present throughout the celebrations, knowing our daughter was being cared for in the very best hands. Hannah also stayed late on both evenings, including beyond 1am, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
We felt completely at ease leaving our daughter with Hannah and would not hesitate to recommend her. She is warm, trustworthy, proactive and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to any family seeking reliable and exceptional childcare.
Yolanda was a great Nanny to my baby when he was only 5 months old. She was extremely patient and caring at all times. I was a very happy mummy and comfortable whenever I had to leave my little one with her.
I will always commend her care and love for my son during that time

We feel so lucky to have found Katie. Our daughter started with her at 9 months & absolutely loves going to her.
Katie puts so much effort into making the days varied and enjoyable for the little ones. A summary of what activities they’ve done and photos are sent at the end of the day which is great to see.
Katie has a lovely, warm energy and cares so much for the children she looks after which as a parent is all you could wish for.
Thanks Katie you’re a star!
Honestly 5 stars is not enough ! Trish is the kindest Childminder I could ever have hoped for. My little boy started with Trish when he just turned one a year ago and I was very anxious leaving him with anyone but family . I can safely say Trish now feels like family and my little boy loves going . She is nothing but kind, polite , professional , flexible and so much more. Trish always wants to help with tweaking nap times ect when needed and always rotates toys ect for learning and development needs at each time . She listens and cares . She has a wonderful family home , with a lovely garden for the kids to play in . Trish really is one in a billion
My daughter absolutely loves going to this setting for few years now. Safety measures are exemplary, and she feels completely secure and happy here. Hira provides a warm, nurturing environment that excellently supports emotional well-being. I love that they make visits to the local library and park.
Communication with parents is excellent. This is a welcoming and perfect setting that I cannot recommend enough!!
Great worker, she goes above and beyond for my family ! My kids absolutely adore her even to the point where when we come to move country in a few years they want her to come with us ! She definitely became apart of the family ! I struggle trusting people with my 4 kids but with Victoria i knew whole heartedly my kids were safe , loved and having fun when me and my husband worked ! Highly recommend because if you dont your missing out on having such a brilliant role model around your kids!

Sammie has looked after both our children for the last 18 months, and she has been absolutely brilliant. Her environment is a lovely home from home, they’re always going out on trips to different places and the kids love it! She is supportive and kind, and we’re so so grateful for all her help.
Illy was my son's nanny. She quickly bonded with him and it was endearing how quickly he felt comfortable around her. I would hear them laughing while I worked from home in the office or hear her reading to him.
She was very conscious of my son's routine & my approach to parenting. She picked it up quickly & it was clear she considered it important. She made an effort to learn & minimise any impact of the change in my sons care. I think it's one of the reasons he was so comfortable with her. Although I also have to admit I think Illy is one of those people kids naturally warm to.
My son grew fond of her and this was clear when they were together. She was professional & friendly, full of energy & a nice person to be around.
She was always willing to help & support. She was also able to handle my complicated family situation with grace. She even remained calm when the complicated family situations became difficult. In a situation where most childcare professionals would likely quit, she stayed. I believe she did this because she genuinely cared for my son.
That is why I am deeply sorry for the issues caused to her reputation because of her time in my employ. My son's mother has been very critical of Illy. I do not believe these views are justified & this is also an unfortunate pattern of behaviour for my son's mom. This is not the first time such criticism has been levied unjustly.
I hope the negative review does not dissuade parents. If you gave Illy a chance I would bet you would be thankful you did. I am grateful to her for all her help, grace and most of all for how she has taken care of my son.
