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.
Annabel has been our nanny since our son was 1 year old - she has been with us for the last 2 years and has provided excellent, reliable , safe and fun childcare. My son has wonderful days with her and she has made our transition back to work very easy. She is hardworking and always punctual. She is calm and creative and always thinks up exciting and fun things to do. I would highly recommend Annabel as a nanny and babysitter.

Maria has been wonderful with our 21 month old son, consistently going above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged. She has supported our family for the past three months, working six days a week during the final stages of my pregnancy when we truly needed the extra help. Over that time, she has become like a member of our family. We are incredibly sad to be leaving her behind as we relocate abroad
Lorraine is absolutely amazing at what she does, she is kind, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable in all things children! Lorraine provides a homely setting and a warm, caring engaging environment. Our daughter thrived with Lorraine and came on leaps and bounds while in her care. There are always loads of fun and educational activities being done with the children and they are always out and about too which is fantastic. Lots of healthy meals and snacks are provided. You are constantly kept up to date with what your child is up to through the day which gives great peace of mind, Lorraine always provides you with a book which documents everything your child has done that day - including photos! Which is such a great keepsake for them as they get older, she always gives reviews on your child too which is great for knowing where they are or areas they may need to work on. Lorraine fully supports you and your child while they are in her care, she is genuinely passionate about children which makes all the difference. Our daughter truly loved her time spent with you and her friends she made within your setting. You truly are so compassionate about the children within your setting and you truly care, you helped to nurture and build skills with our daughter which we are forever grateful for. You are amazing.
Our son was in her care from age 2-3, he loved being in Emilija's care. She is trustworthy and we left our child without any worry. Always kept us updated on whatsapp. She always ensured he is engaged in activities, play groups, out door fun, farm trips, softplay outing and train rides. She encourges learning by exploring surrounding and nature. At home she engages him in arts and craft, baking and lovely treats.
He is definitely going to miss being in her care.
Thank you very much.

Joanna and her lovely staff offer the most ideal setting for little ones. My daughter has a health condition, and Joanna and her team went above and beyond to offer the best care and support for her (and for us parents) . It was really difficult to find somewhere we felt confident leaving our daughter and I’m so lucky to have found happy Pom poms.
My daughter loved attending, she always had a big smile on her face, and still goes back during school holidays along with my older boy who also enjoys it!
The learning and games and activities are fun, Joanna keeps its interesting . The food is fresh and you get great feedback and lots of photos. It feels very personal and professional. If I was to have another child I would 100% send them to Happy Pom poms. The setting is lovely and homely. Would recommend!

Naila has been absolutely amazing in caring for my son. She is kind, patient, loving, and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. From the very beginning, she made both me and my child feel comfortable and welcomed.
Her home is always clean, safe, and well organised, and she keeps me updated with how my son is doing throughout the day. I have complete peace of mind knowing he is in such caring hands. I would highly recommend Naila to any parent.

Ivan kindly agreed to babysit for us last-minute; our two boys really enjoyed meeting him, he had a calming influence, friendly attitude, and my boys gave very positive feedback. My youngest struggles to go to sleep but Ivan got him down easily. I would definitely recommend Ivan and would happily use him to babysit regularly!
Becky has been an amazing childminder for our daughter, Joanna. She is caring, trustworthy, and always makes us feel confident that Joanna is safe and well looked after. Joanna has become very attached to Becky, loves spending time with her, and enjoys the regular outdoor activities. Becky has also been a great help with Joanna’s potty training, and we’ve seen fantastic progress. We are so grateful for everything she does and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for an excellent childminder.
Arranged to meet with Sarah at 0930 in the morning with my 1year to discuss childcare, When we arrived one of her staff answered the door, didn't seem to know we had an appointment and told me that Sarah was unwell, couldn't see us and would be in contact to re arrange. No contact from Sarah what so ever to cancel or rearrange. Very unprofessional and disappointing.
Annie has cared for our daughter since she was 3 months old (she's now 9 months) and has been an incredible support to our family during this precious stage of her life. She is kind, calm, reliable, and naturally wonderful with babies. She understood that although I needed help it was also difficult for me to be apart from my daughter and help me to gradually transition and build trust, by listening to my needs and worries.
We always felt completely at ease with her, and she quickly became such an important part of our daily life that it's truly hard to say goodbye but unfortunately we are leaving the country. Simply the best!
I am writing to recommend Hayley, who has worked as our part-time nanny since January 2026. Over the past several months, she has provided excellent care for our daughter, Freya, who recently turned two.
From the start, Hayley has been warm, reliable, and genuinely good with toddlers. She takes a proactive approach to the role, planning structured weeks that include farm visits, trips to the park, playgroup, and a variety of other local activities. We have regular photo and video updates or our little person on her days out.
Hayley brings her own daughter to work with her, and the two girls get on really well together. It has been a lovely bonus for Freya to have a companion to play with, and Hayley manages both children with ease. So much so, our daughter often asks when both Hayley and her daughter are coming back (5 mins after they have left for the day) Hayley is also super flexible around our needs, which can change at short notice, and she consistently finds practical solutions without any fuss. Seeing Freya happy and settled at the end of each day speaks for itself.
Hayley is a capable and caring childcare professional, and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Our nanny Lynn, has been with our family for 4.5 years and has been an exceptional carer to our two sons. During her time with us, the boys have thrived under her attentive and nurturing care. She is warm, reliable and deeply invested in her role, always doing her very best. We have always felt completely secure and confident in her, trusting her implicitly with our children and our home. In addition to childcare, she has been a wonderful support with family life, preparing delicious meals and helping with washing and light household tasks. We are very sad to see her leave due to a change in our family’s needs and would wholeheartedly recommend her to another family.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Anna. She has looked after both our son and now our daughter, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a more warm, nurturing and friendly childminder.
From the very beginning, Anna has made our children feel safe, loved and completely at home. She genuinely cares about every single child she looks after and creates such a happy, positive environment where they can thrive.
One of the things we especially love is how much effort Anna puts into planning fun and engaging activities. Whether it’s crafts, outdoor adventures or exploring the local community, there’s always something exciting going on. Her knowledge of the local area is fantastic, and she makes the most of everything available, giving the children so many wonderful experiences.
The biggest testament to how amazing Anna is comes from our daughter, who gets so excited whenever it’s time to spend the day with her. Knowing that our children are not only cared for but genuinely happy and eager to be with Anna gives us complete peace of mind.
We can’t recommend Anna highly enough. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have their children looked after by her.

We couldn't be happier with the care our little one has received from Maddie. From day one, she's offered a nurturing and safe environment where our child has thrived. It's been wonderful to see her confidence, independence, and social skills grow so much. We know how valuable children are, specially if it is our first one! but Maddie has demonstrated she is the right person to support our family and has provided a second warm and cozy home for our child.
Maddie provides a fantastic balance of learning through play, creative activities, outdoor adventures, and plenty of fun. Communication is excellent, with regular updates, photos, and feedback, which gives us complete peace of mind.
It's clear how much genuine care, patience, and dedication go into her work. Our little one absolutely loves going each day, which says everything. We highly recommend Maddie to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
Pavlina was with us three nights a week for the first 14 weeks after we brought our son home, and she was an absolute lifesaver. We both really needed the sleep for work and for health reasons and knowing she was there looking after him meant we could properly switch off and rest. Depending on what I wanted to do, sometimes she brought him to me for breastfeeding, and other times I could pump or just sleep and she’d keep him with her and make him a bottle. So grateful for her help.
She is such a kind, caring and lovely person. She is always punctual and reliable which wasn’t always true of others and we trusted her completely with our newborn from day one. She has so much experience and is always happy to answer questions and share advice which I really value as a first time mum. She is wonderful with our little boy and he adores her. She always seems to be able to settle him in his bassinet far more easily than we can!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Pavlina. She made such a difference to those first few months, and I honestly don’t know how we would have managed without her. She’s also a really good cook and I loved the gluten free blueberry cakes and brownies in the middle of the night! She was amazing at logging sleeps, feeds and nappy changes on our huckleberry app and would arrive in the evening having checked the app and knowing how our day had been! I found it especially comforting to have her help on the nights of his first two sets of jabs when I was worried about him getting a fever. We really hope to keep in touch and hope she can come for nights when teething kicks off or babysitting if she’s available! :)
Fantastic babysitter. Both of our girls absolutely loved spending time with her and felt comfortable from the moment she arrived. She was friendly, caring and kept them happily entertained throughout the evening. It was so reassuring knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and definitely will be using her in the future. Highly recommended.
Ashleigh has been supporting my two young children (8&4) with school drop offs, pickups and occasional evening too.
She has created a strong routine and relationship with the children, supported my eldest with his daily reading activities and helped my youngest with getting her ready
Ashleigh was helping with preparing school lunch and breakfast too.
Her communication with me was amazing and timely, always let me know on the rare occasion when she was late.
I’m so happy to recommend her services for any family in need of assistance.
