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.
Naila is an excellent and professional childminder. It’s been over a year my daughter has been attending with her and Naila has contributed immensely to the development of my little one, including communication and potty training. She is intentional about the children’s all round development which is commendable. Her home is well organised and safe for the children and updates through the app all day the activities of the children.The fact that my little one is always looking forward to attending, gives me peace while away. She’s highly recommended..:):)
Our twins have been in Lucy’s care for nearly a year and we feel extremely lucky to have found a team who have created an environment that’s safe, fun and a home away from home. The activities are endless with regular trips to the park, a phonics teacher who attends the site weekly, singing, story time and lots of arts and crafts. The twins are always so excited to tell us about their day. Our oldest daughter occasionally attends too and she is always so excited to join her siblings. Thank you for everything, you won’t regret your children being in Lucy’s care and her wonderful team!
Medina cared for all three of my boys, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She provided a safe, loving, and supportive environment where each of them felt valued, happy, and secure. Despite their different ages, personalities, and needs, Medina took the time to understand each child individually and helped them grow in confidence and independence.
My boys always looked forward to spending time with her and would come home talking about the activities, learning experiences, and fun they had throughout the day. It was clear that Medina genuinely cared about their wellbeing and development, treating them with patience, kindness, and respect.
As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing my children were in such capable and caring hands. Her communication was excellent, and she always kept me informed about how the boys were doing. Medina has had a very positive influence on my children’s lives, and I will always be grateful for the care and support she provided to our family.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Medina to any parent looking for a trustworthy, professional, and outstanding childminder.

Michelle is a warm and friendly childminder which is why we chose her for our 14 month old. I feel I should warn others that unfortunately one of her cats was not friendly, and we ended up in a&e after a scratch extremely close to our daughter’s eye- so regretfully had to pull her out promptly following discussion with our GP. I would recommend Michelle for an older child who needs less observation, as she is kind and caring with the children she cares for.
I am pleased to provide feedback on the care and support that Jessica Draper provides for our son, Zayn.
Jessica is an incredibly supportive and attentive childminder who clearly prioritises children’s development. She takes a thoughtful and individualised approach to Zayn’s learning, showing a strong understanding of where he is in his developmental journey and how best to support his progress. We feel this is greatly enhanced by her own experience as a parent of three children, which is reflected in her confidence, patience, and natural ability to nurture and guide young children.
The activities and resources she provides are of a very high standard. Her educational toys and planned activities are engaging, age-appropriate, and clearly designed to encourage learning through play. We have seen a positive impact on Zayn’s development since being in her care.
Jessica also places great importance on outdoor learning. She regularly takes the children outside, allowing them to explore, stay active, and learn in different environments. This balance between indoor and outdoor activities is something we value highly.
Communication is another key strength. Jessica keeps us well-informed throughout the day, providing updates on Zayn’s mood, wellbeing, and any concerns (for example, if he is teething or not feeling 100%). She also shares photos, which is reassuring and helps us feel connected to his daily experiences.
Overall, we are extremely happy with the care Jessica provides. She creates a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where Zayn is clearly happy, supported, and thriving.
Ushama is really kind humble positive attitude person who takes good care of my kid and I am confident to trust my child in her hands . She is reliable and flexible and also understanding to my needs .I am very happy and content with her service.

My son started with Louise June 2024 he settled in instantly and was comfortable with Louise hands out to her no problem and was a struggle to get him to come home 🫣 he wanted to stay with her so I knew straight away he was in the best hands and she knew how nerve racking it was for me to leave him she sent me photos of him settling in and that put my mind at rest and she kept me updated with all the information I needed my son has developed so much sense being with Louise he does loads of activities his speech has improved massively and Louise and Lloyd are always taking him out to burn off his energy nice to see him out instead of being kept inside doing all sorts of activities zoo visits, soft play, library visits, play groups you name it Louise and Lloyd go to anything they can to keep my son entertained I can not recommend Louise and Lloyd enough to anyone who would ask these guys are the childminders you need that give our children the love and attention.
My daughter has now started with them also and she is thriving I didn’t have that nervous feeling like I did with my son as I saw how amazing they both are and knew my daughter would be well looked after and I’m happy to have both my children together with them words can not explain how warm and comforting it feels to leave my children there knowing they are safe and well looked after thank you so much and I will continue to use Louise and Lloyd until my children no longer need the care anymore.
I am extremely happy with the care and support Theodora has provided for my son Ackairo. Since being in her care I have seen a huge improvement in his confidence, communication, and overall development. Theodora creates a warm, safe, and nurturing environment and Ackairo is always happy and excited to attend. Her dedication and genuine care gives me complete peace of mind and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and professional childminder.
My son is almost two now and has been going to Lucy’s for over a year and he absolutely loves it. They’re constantly going to local parks, play groups, sensory rooms and so much more during the week and she’s so focused on accelerating key learning stages during development, like walking and talking. He is always coming back with new words his obsessed with. Lucy is also an absolute pleasure to deal with. I’d highly recommend!
Saskia babysat our son while we went to a concert. She brought toys and games and snacks to our hotel and gained an immediate rapport with him. He had a lot of fun with her playing games, reading books, and he was engaged and productive! She is a lot of fun and really connected with him.
Saskia is very personable and friendly, and it was obvious that she has had a great deal of experience with children.
We endorse her 100% without reservation!
Our son has now been going to Lucy’s for 6 months. He has autism and currently non verbal so we were anxious to leave him with anyone. I now do not ever have that worry.
Arlo absolutely loves it at Lucy’s, she is literally like another parent to him and it really is his home away from home. He is so comfortable and content which for me means more than anything.
He gets excited to go and actually gets the hump sometimes when he has to leave. Lucy is so caring and treats Arlo like her own. She keeps me updated on the days he’s in about how he is and how his day is going and sends the cutest pics of him having the best time!
He has improved so much with his development and communication. Lucy always goes above and beyond to meet Arlo’s needs and will help wherever she can. He has got a beautiful bond with Lucy and that’s all we ever want is for our children to be happy and safe when they are not with us.
Not only does Lucy have a beautiful and clean home she also has an amazing garden which Arlo LOVES! He gets to explore and have so much fun whilst being safe.
What I love so much about Lucy is that she lets the children who she cares for be who they want to be.
I honestly can’t thank Lucy enough, we were so lucky to find her and I know there is nowhere else I would want Arlo to go.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Maddy care for our daughter over the past year. She has built such a strong, caring, and positive relationship with her, and it is clear how much she genuinely cares for the children she looks after. Our daughter absolutely loves her “Maddy days” and is always excited to spend time with her.
Maddy has played such an important role in our daughter’s learning and development, providing a nurturing, fun, and supportive environment where she has thrived. We are so grateful for everything she has done and would highly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional childminder. Thank you, Maddy, for being such a special part of our daughter’s journey.
I am a first time mum and going back to work made me dread leaving my son. but then I met Leyla. After reaching out on the app, she arranged a phonecall with me the next day and convinced me 100% that she was the way to go.
My son adores her. She made the whole process so easy and was flexible and accommodating. My son loves going there each day and has learned so much. He is growing more confident and I know this is all down to Leyla.
I recommend her so much that 5 stars are simply not enough.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our little one receives. The setting is small, welcoming, and has such a lovely family feel. The childminder is incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about what she does, which shines through every day.
Our 1-year-old absolutely loves going and is always excited to see her. It’s wonderful to know that our child is happy, engaged, and cared for in such a nurturing environment. We receive regular updates and can see how much thought and effort goes into planning activities that support learning and development.
We highly recommend Shekel to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and positive environment for their child.
We cannot recommend our Liz highly enough. Since our daughter started attending last September, she has come on tremendously both socially and educationally. She absolutely loves going each day and has built wonderful friendships with the other children in her care.
There is always a wide range of engaging activities planned, including singing, learning about emotions, colours and numbers, all of which have supported our daughter's development and confidence. The curriculum is thoughtfully planned and varied, and our daughter genuinely enjoys taking part in the different topics and activities.
Liz is incredibly accommodating and works around our daughter's routine, ensuring her individual needs are met. She also provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor learning, whether that's trips to soft play, visits to the local library, or creative mark-making activities in the garden.
We particularly love how she introduces the children to different celebrations and events throughout the year. Our daughter has learned about topics such as Autumn, Remembrance Day, Chinese New Year and Father's Day, among many others.
It is clear that she is passionate about providing a nurturing, stimulating and supportive environment for the children in her care. We are so pleased with the progress our daughter has made and happily give her a well-deserved 5-star rating.
I cannot recommend Maggie at MINI Sunshines Childcare Services highly enough. From the very first day, Maggie has shown nothing but kindness, love, patience, and genuine care towards my daughter, Kayla. Knowing that my daughter is in such safe and capable hands gives me complete peace of mind as a working mum.
The care and service provided at MINI Sunshines Childcare Services are truly exceptional. Maggie creates a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel happy, secure, and encouraged to learn and grow. She is reliable, trustworthy, professional, and always attentive to each child’s individual needs. Her communication with parents is excellent, and she keeps me updated on Kayla’s progress and wellbeing.
Maggie maintains a clean, safe, and welcoming environment and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the children in her care are comfortable, engaged, and thriving. She is loving, caring, compassionate, patient, and dedicated to helping children develop confidence, independence, and positive social skills.
What stands out most is the genuine love and passion she has for childcare. Kayla absolutely adores her, and it is clear that she treats every child as if they were her own. Seeing how happy, confident, and well cared for my daughter is speaks volumes about the outstanding service she provides.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Maggie and MINI Sunshines Childcare Services to any working mum or parent in Camberwell, London, who is looking for the very best childcare for their child. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for Kayla and our family. Thank you, Maggie, for being such an amazing childminder.
As a parent whose son has been in Jayne’s care since April 2025, I was utterly upset and shocked to read the review that was recently posted.
This is a complete and utterly false interpretation of Jayne and the wonderful environment she provides. To be quite honest, it proves to me that there are some people out there who just cannot help themselves, and the issues clearly lie with the mother’s own expectations rather than the exceptional care Jayne delivers.
My son absolutely loves being at Jayne's and is looked after extremely well. Since he started over a year ago, I have seen nothing but a warm, stimulating, and incredibly nurturing environment.
Jayne is a highly experienced professional who is straightforward and honest—traits that any parent should value when trusting someone with their child.
The claims in the negative review could not be further from my reality:
Stimulation & Activities: The reviewer claims the children are "stuck in one room," yet my son regularly enjoys fantastic days out, including trips to RHS Bridgewater and plenty of engaging activities.
The "Quiet" Accusation: The critique regarding Jayne's son working nights is entirely blown out of proportion. Jayne herself openly told the mother that her son explicitly said not to worry and to let the kids make noise. It is a shame that a single moment of standard, polite boundary-setting was twisted into a claim that the children aren't allowed to express themselves.
Food & Routines: Suggesting Jayne doesn't bother with the children or their development is absurd. Jayne works tirelessly to establish healthy boundaries and routines that help children thrive socially and behaviorally.
It is incredibly unfair to try and damage the reputation of a dedicated childminder who has successfully cared for children for 20 years, based on a mere three-week stint where the parent simply didn't want to adapt to a professional setting.
Jayne does this job because she is brilliant at it and truly cares for the children. I couldn't be happier with the care my son receives, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and expert childminder.

Helena has been looking after our girls for several months now and we can honestly say that life has gotten quite a bit easier. She is reliable, has never been late, the girls have always felt comfortable with her and in general she has a calm warm presence. Would recommend.
