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.
Avril has been looking after my daughter since she was just four months old, and she is now two. While my daughter found it quite hard to settle in initially, Avril’s patience and warmth completely turned things around. She is now so fond of Avril! Avril is a fantastic communicator who takes great pride in doing her job with excellence. She gives thorough feedback to parents at the end of each day and has helped drastically with my daughter's development. I couldn't recommend her enough.
We cannot recommend Dhani highly enough. Having placed all three of our children in various childcare settings over the years, we can confidently say that Dhani is the most capable, caring, and professional provider we have ever encountered.
She has created an environment that is not just a service, but a true home away from home. What stands out most is how she consistently goes above and beyond, making her feel more like a trusted friend than a provider. We have complete peace of mind whenever we drop our child off, knowing they are in the hands of someone who is deeply committed to their development and happiness.
We particularly value the following:
**Diverse & Engaging Activities:**
Our child is always having fun and is genuinely excited to attend. We receive daily updates and photos via WhatsApp documenting a wide range of activities, including time in the garden, visits to local playgrounds, attending playgroups, dressing up, arts and crafts, and animal visits. It is clear that the children are stimulated, happy, and thriving.
**Professionalism & Transparency:**
We have found Dhani to be incredibly straightforward and easy to work with. Fees are clear, as explained and contracted from the start. She maintains excellent communication and always encourages us to review invoices, welcoming feedback to ensure everything remains accurate.
**A Nurturing & Clean Environment:**
The setting is consistently clean, safe, and positive. We see the environment daily and have always been impressed by the standard of care provided.
**Support for Families:**
Dhani is remarkably kind and professional. She is a warm, reliable presence who genuinely cares about the well-being of the children and the families she supports.
Dhani has been an invaluable support to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for the high-quality, nurturing care she provides. If you are looking for a dedicated and reliable childminder, we would encourage you to reach out to her.

Becky has provided childcare for both of my grandchildren from 9 months old to 4 years . The care provided was exceptional throughout offering a wide variety of activities and experiences. Becky is highly professional with a very caring nature. I would highly recommend Becky for any childcare needs.
Here's a polished version that keeps the warmth and appreciation of the original:
My son, who is now four years old, has been with Becky since he was just nine months old. Over the years, she has built such a strong bond with him and has always cared for him as if he were one of her own.
Becky regularly takes the children on wonderful outings, including Story Makers sessions, playgroups, trips to the park, and days out with the other children. Her home-from-home environment has played a huge part in helping my son feel happy, secure, and settled.
I cannot recommend Becky highly enough for the care, dedication, and support she has given Ralph over the years. She has been instrumental in preparing him for his next big step as he starts school in September.
We will miss her and will always be grateful for everything she has done for our family.

Our 2 and a half year old has been with Jophi since she was a year old and the experience has been great throughout. The setting is very much home to home and with the smaller group of children, has been perfect for our child’s introverted temperament. She excels at the setting and Jophi is fantastic! We have another baby due and have already secured a spot with her!
Choosing Kailani as our daughter’s childminder was the best decision we made. After struggling with separation anxiety at a previous setting, our 15-month-old daughter settled with Kailani within a week and has been happy ever since. Kailani is caring, experienced, patient, and highly reliable. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive childminder.

Dhani is such a wonderful person, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
Our son has been with her since he was just seven months old, and from the very beginning she supported us through everything, including the transition to solids, which she handled with so much patience, knowledge, and care.
Her home, and her family, have given our son exactly what he needed: love, warmth, stability, and a true family environment. She is professional, attentive, and creates a space that is perfectly set up for children to feel safe, happy, and engaged.
Our son absolutely adores her, and we will always remember the impact she has had on him and on us as a family.
She deserves every bit of positive feedback , she is simply amazing.
I highly recommend her.
El has been the best babysitter we’ve ever had. They are so I tune with my SEN kids (8 and 12), attentive, calm, caring for the kids without being overbearing - just what we needed. While I’ve had to explain my kids’ behaviour and preferences to many others, El just gets it. Very pleasant to have in the house. Always on time, no ad hoc cancellations, extremely reliable. Highly recommend!

If anyone is looking for a childminder, I can't recommend Hailey highly enough. She has looked after both of my children over the last 10 years, and she has been absolutely fantastic throughout.
Hailey is caring, reliable, and incredibly experienced. When our son Jack was younger and experiencing seizures, she was amazing—calm, capable, and completely supportive. As a former nurse, she has a wealth of knowledge and handles any situation with confidence and professionalism.
Knowing our children were in such safe and caring hands gave us real peace of mind. I feel very lucky to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful childminder. ❤️

There is so much to say about Adele and how superb she has been since we found her, I thank my lucky stars that we came across Adele and chose her to look after our son. He started when he was 1 and is due to finish in September to start nursery and I wish he could stay with Adele forever. Our son has learnt so much through Adele, she puts 100% into the job and you can tell that she genuinely loves doing it and loves the children. She has been amazing at supporting me with everything over the years giving me advice if needed. She follows the curriculum really well and her activities and learning are brilliant, it pays off as our son is very forward for his age with his learning and speech and I know this has a lot to Adele, he adores and trusts her so much. She sends us plenty of pictures daily and informs us of what food etc they will be having. I’m so happy that we found Adele and wouldn’t change it for the world! I will be very sad in September when our son moves onto nursery.
My son started with Clare at 1 and stayed with her until he was 3 and we moved away. We feel so blessed to have found Clare. Our son absolutely loved his time with Clare, lots of cuddles, fun and activities in a relaxing welcoming environment. It truly felt like a home from home for him, which we loved. Clare also looked after my older daughter in school holidays who equally loved her time with Clare, always coming home with crafts they'd made and a big smile on her face. Clare is an amazing childminder who genuinely cares for all the children in her care. Thanks for everything Clare, we still miss you lots xx
The girls are literally amazing, Joel has come on so much with these two. Both so practical, fun and keep the learning standards high, always updated with pictures and messages in regards to what they’re up to. You can tell these girls truly adore their kiddies aswell which is a bonus it’s not just a job to them! Couldn’t recommend them enough 🤍🌟
Julie has been an incredible childminder for our son over the past year, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where he felt happy, secure, and excited to learn and explore.
One of the things our son loved most was the variety of daily outings, whether it was trips to playgroups, the park, or the library. Julie always made sure the children had enriching experiences and plenty of opportunities to socialise, play, and develop new skills.
Her level of care and attention is outstanding, and the safety and wellbeing of the children is clearly her top priority at all times. It is obvious how much she genuinely cares about every child she looks after.
Our son was genuinely sad to leave, which says everything about the bond he built with Julie and how much he loved spending time with her. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our family and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lisa was the best choice we could have made for our son. ☺️She has been taking care of him since he was 9 months old, and now he is 2 years old.
Lisa has truly been like a second mother to him. Every single day, he walked through her door with the biggest smile on his face, happy and excited to see her. She created such a warm, loving, and safe environment where he always felt cared for and happy.
As parents, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is loved and well looked after, and Lisa gave us complete peace of mind.
My 3-year-old daughter has been attending Shabana’s setting since January this year, after her previous childminder had to close her business. Shabana provides a clean, tidy, and welcoming environment with a wide range of toys and activities for the children to enjoy. She keeps me regularly updated on my daughter’s engagement and development, and often shares photos throughout the day. Most importantly, Kaia is always happy and excited to go to her, which gives me great peace of mind.
We have had the best care for our daughter and we are so grateful.Jophi was a second home for her.From nappies to panties,crawling to walking and running around.everday she came with lessons learnt and laughes shared.Thank you so much for the beautiful experience
Before our wedding, we were quite hesitant about booking a wedding nanny. As parents, we felt guilty at the thought of handing over some of the responsibility for our son on such an important day and wondered whether it was really necessary. Looking back now, it was one of the best decisions we made. Having someone dedicated to caring for him meant we could fully enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing he was happy, safe, and having just as much fun as we were.
We cannot recommend Kellie highly enough! From our very first warm-up sessions, she built such a lovely relationship with our son and immediately put us at ease. Seeing how comfortable and happy he was with her before the wedding gave us complete confidence that he was in the best hands.
On the day itself, she blended seamlessly into our celebrations, allowing us to fully enjoy both our church ceremony and evening reception without any stress or worry. She kept our little boy happy, engaged, and entertained throughout the day, while also mingling naturally with our guests and fitting effortlessly into the occasion.
When our son joined us for his meal, she was still on hand to offer support—not only to us, but even to another parent who needed a helping hand. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Knowing our son was so well cared for allowed us to be fully present for every special moment of our wedding day.
Thank you for helping make our wedding day so relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Kellie to any family looking for childcare on their special day.
We’ve loved having Frankie to help us with our newborn so I could focus on our 18 month old during the post nursery tea/bath/bed routine and on Fridays. She’s been really knowledgeable and has slotted in to our family life so well. she’s been flexible and accommodating of our requests. She’s got our newborn taking a bottle and engages so well with our toddler, as well as helping out around the house with general tasks such as laundry taking the load off me.

Shona was absolutely fabulous with our 18-month-old. She is so kind, warm and friendly, and she has such a lovely calm demeanour with him. It was wonderful to see how caring and engaging she was, and it’s clear she has a great deal of experience with young children. We’re so grateful to have found Shona and are very much looking forward to more time with her in the future. Highly recommend!
