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.
Amina, nannied for us, just under 6 months, started out great, professional, punctual, listened and followed instructions on how we wanted the kids to be raised. She was fantastic at helping to pick up bits and bobs during the week if we run out, and built a relationship with our children, unfortunately she called in sick more times then I can remember, with little to no notice- this was especially impactful to me, mum, as I had to stay home.
She decided to leave us by calling in sick on the Monday, on the Tuesday, she sent us a txt to inform us she will not be returning, this has turned our life upside down, unfortunately we do not have a village near by, who can help, subsequently, I'm left in a hole, desperately trying to find childcare and maintain my job.

Thank you Inara for being so patient with my son. You have made his learning so interactive and there has been a drastic change in his willingness to learn. I can tell how much he looks forward to his session with you. He thinks so highly of you and is always excited to come back and learn more. I am surprised at how you have managed to keep him engaged and you clearly keep the sessions interactive. I would definitely recommend you to others and am so glad my son and I got to meet you. A real life angel ! Thank you!
Gareth has been my children’s childminder for over 5 years. My husband was a little apprehensive at first but we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help raise our children. My children have thrived in Gareth’s care and we couldn’t be any more satisfied with the continued supervision he has provided over the years. My son in particular has really benefited from having a male childminder and their bond is testament to the hard work Gareth has put in to providing his outstanding daycare. He has treated my children as his own and gone out of his way to provide them with a loving, stable, educational setting. They attend play groups and spend time with other childminders ensuring a range of environments such as country parks and interactions with other children. My children adore him and we highly recommend his childcare services.

My daughter has been attending The Playhouse from its earlier incarnation as a home based setting, and she has happily transitioned to the new nursery with no issues at all.
She absolutely adores her days at The Playhouse, and I know that she is safe and extremely well cared for whenever she is there. Everyone is so warm and friendly, it's such a lovely atmosphere, and I feel that all staff members know my daughter really well and are helping her to reach her full potential in all areas- she's grown so much in confidence since attending, and she chatters happily at home about her friends (which include all of her teachers too!)
I feel well informed about her daily routine and her progress, and I love seeing the photographs of her on the app, and reading the comments from her key workers.
I would highly recommend The Playhouse to anyone looking for a caring, high quality nursery for their child. It really is a delightful place!

Jenny has been looking after my little boy for almost a year. We could not be happier and most importantly my little boy loves her. He is always excited to go and see Jenny and his friends. I love how much time he gets to spend outside at the park or local playgroups and the endless creative and engaging activities she does which them. Because it is a small setting he gets lots of attention and sleep is never an issue.
I would highly recommend Jenny as a childminder. She is caring attentive and reliable for all ages.

I was looking for childcare for my 10 month old M last year. I’m a first-time mum and didn’t really know anything about it.
I looked round a few different places but I’m so glad I found Jenny as her setting is warm and personal and she is so bubbly and full of energy and clearly loves what she does.
The whole concept of putting M in childcare was nerve racking for me being a FTM, not knowing how M would take it, byt Jenny quickly made me feel ease and really took the time to do lots of settling in days so M was well established before I went back to work.
It didn’t take long for M to settle in; she absolutely loves going, and clearly is very comfortable with Jenny. Jenny really works hard to ensure each day is full of fun and engaging activities and outings which is just so great for M to be able to experience.
She is really good at communicating all the information we need.
The short of it is that Jenny is fantastic with children and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Jenny is an amazing childminder. I would often watch Jenny when on maternity leave with my two daughters in the park or playgrounds, stay and plays, child minding other children. I was so impressed with her calm and kind manner with the children- she was always so caring.
Jenny looked after my daughter for a year prior to starting to school. She was amazing - always planning trips, activities, games. The kids were always happy and jolly - with lots of snacks and things to do, Jenny was kind and loving towards my daughter. Jenny was also super accommodating to my needs - swapping days, picking up additional sessions. She was amazing & I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a childminder.

Jamie has worked part-time with our family (in Hackney) for almost 2 years. He is reliable, patient, good-hearted and extremely capable. Jamie has been a huge force of positivity in our lives. He clicked with our 4yr old autistic son immediately, and has become more than a nanny to him. He is a friend and a mentor - someone who naturally supports and encourages children as they explore the world and develop their interests and skills. Jamie is a true pleasure to work with. We feel very lucky to have met him and recommend him wholeheartedly.

We have been using Lisa since 2020, our first born struggles to leave us and lisa has worked so closely with us to help make drop off’s easier for us all. Our youngest daughter needs help with her speech with Lisa has helped massively. I cannot recommend Lisa & Rich anymore. They are so fantastic with the children and really do go above and beyond, you will not find a better childminder.
It was lovely to meet Lyba, I had spent time getting to know her and choose her as my child’s nanny and thought she would have done a wonderful job.
With me going back to work this was a stressful time as it is to try organise the best childcare for my daughter. Lyba should have communicated with me if she wasn’t happy or wasn’t interested in continuing instead of saying she will turn up for her job and then not turn up at all. Very unprofessional and has put me in a really tough spot with work with no childcare.
Ania was exceptional.
My son was happy , changed and well looked after.
Ania is punctual, arrived on time, is kind, caring and gentle . I love that ania is flexible when she is available, which is so important for mums needing help.
I will definitely be using her again without a doubt. I highly recommend Ania

Fatiha has been such a wonderful babysitter for my special needs child .
She dealt with all the hurdles effortlessly and cares about the child's needs and wants .
Fatiha took great care of him and it shows in how happy he was to eat from her( which he doesn't do from new people)
Fatiha is kind, gentle ,patient and playful.
So much so that my son hugged her and didn't want her to leave his side . The following morning he even ran out of his room looking for her .
I highly recommend Fatiha and I definitely will be using her at every chance I get

Our 3y old has been at the Playhouse for 4 months and I'd highly recommend them.
The nursery has a really great homely feeling with lovely and friendly staff. We are given daily updates but also regular in depth observations. Our daughter loves the food and regularly tells us about the things she has enjoyed.
My son has been with Mandi since just before his botthday up and until preschool and she is just amazing.
I feel so comfortable leaving him with her, she keeps me regularly updated and he has developed so well.
As my 3rd son I can say this is the most positive childcare experience I have had and would thoroughly recommend Mandi to anyone
Hannah has been with our family for a few months so far and is absolutely wonderful with our daughter. She is caring and communicative, always keen to offer valuable advice and very sweet with our elderly dogs as well. We highly recommend her and wish we could pin her down for more days!
As a parent, choosing the right childcare for my children is a huge challenge. My experience with Bambini Montessori childcare has been overwhelmingly positive. From the moment we stepped into the Bambini room we were struck by the calm, purposeful atmosphere. My children are deeply engaged in activities, independently exploring, and interacting with each other in a respectful and collaborative way.
Priya's montessori approach is something she actually practises not like just some theory. My children have been emphasized hands-on learning through carefully designed materials, allowing them to learn at their own pace and discover their individual strengths.
Priya is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, providing individualized attention and support while fostering a love of learning.
She is pointing out what my children are good at and what will be the next learning step for them. My doughter is a little challeng for her( and for me) like the initial adjustment period where Priya have come to an extra mile, to ease that to everybody.
I am confident that my children are receiving a high-quality time in Priyas childcare. I wish every parents has this nurturing and enriching environment for their child(children)
Higly recommend Priya's Bambini Montessori childcare.
My daughter fell in love with Flavia since the first moment she stepped inside. Flavia is very caring, loving, and attentive person.She for sure makes children feel like home if not better as on multiple occasions my daughter didn't want to leave 😃 I strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a perfect childminder for your little ones.
Madhu is the sweetest person I know. When we shifted from India to UK it was a serious issue for us where to send our 3 years old kid and then Madhu came for us as an angel . She took care of my kid very nicely the food , the environment, engaging kids with activities ,the comfort everything is perfect at her place . My kid was comfortable at her place and felt like home . Keep up the good work ❤️
Our one year old loves it here. The nursery has a friendly cosy feeling about it and I feel like my little one sees all of the staff and his friends like a second family. It's great to get updates and photos about how his days have been. Would highly recommend.
