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.
Tara looked after my son whilst I was studying. I was so incredibly nervous at first, leaving my son. He'd been with me every day and night since birth! But instantly, I was reassured. I felt such a warm presence from Tara, her family, and her home since day one. Tara helped both me and my son settle quickly and comfortably. It was great knowing he was being greatly cared for so I could continue my studies without any worries.
Being a student, flexibility is really great. Tara was honestly brilliant with my extra study days so I could get most of my work completed. Throughout the days, she would update me with pictures and let me know how he was getting on, which was lovely and certainly put me at ease.
As a first time mum sometimes I felt quite like I didn't know what i was doing but Tara supported me, she gave me a lot of advice and tips and really helped a lot with sleep training, and trying to encourage his eating! The communication was so easy and straightforward. I have loved knowing my son is eating well, playing with her lovely daughters or doing different activities; play group, swimming, the park so I know he is regularly out and about having fun.
Since being with Tara, I've seen such a change and improvement in my sons development, his talking especially, and I know that the way Tara engages with the little ones has really played a part in that. I would 10000% recommend Tara to anyone looking for flexible and brilliant care for their child.
I also really appreciated Taras' help with proofreading my work in her spare time! A massive help. And being really accommodating and understanding during my rough days in my second pregnancy. Honestly, my son and I will miss you and your family! You've all been so kind, and I know Mason misses you all already. It's been such a pleasure to have gotten to know you, and I appreciate all that you have done. I hope to stay in touch!

Kerry has looked after all three of my children. She has built up an amazing bond with all three individually and they thoroughly enjoy spending time in the setting. They all partake in age appropriate activities and Kerry is great at supporting all the children’s needs. Kerry has always had great communication and has always been reliable which has made it easier for me as a parent. I will continue to rely on Kerry to provide childcare services for my children until they are all grown, I cannot recommend her enough.
We started our son with Tracey when he was just over 3 months old and she takes care of all week throughout the workday. We have chaotic work schedules and Tracey has been very helpful with helping us make it work. Our son Wilder is now almost two years old and Tracey has been an incredible help to us parents and our son. When he was young, she worked with us to feed him how we wanted, and matched the sleeping schedule we asked for. She has been there every step of the way since then and Wilder LOVES going to Traceys. He’s gone from a baby to an adventurous young toddler with lots of changes along the way. Tracey has been great help with all the changes.
We have found that Tracey truly cares for the children and it feels like she is family. She takes the kids to the library, reading group, playgroup, and the park. She gives us updates throughout the day and includes pictures. Our son also gets to spend time with other great young children and they all seem to love to play together. He also learned and grown so much since being there. Tracey made his birthday and the other holidays special for our son and all the other kids! We couldn't have asked for better care for our time in cambridge and anyone to use her will find themselves very lucky to have such a great childminder. Our family HIGHLY recommends Tracey.

Kerry has been looking after our son since I went back to work ( just over a year ago) she is amazing with him and he loves spreading time with her and her family especially her dogs. She has helped us so much when my husband is deployed I'm so grateful. Our son loves Kerry and is excited to see her every morning.
Kerry is an amazing person and is incredible with my kids.! They love going to her every morning and seeing her at school pick up.! She’s become someone my children love and adore… always love the pictures she sends when they are with her… I’d choose her and recommend her over and over again
Karen is been providing care for my daughter Meadow since she was 10 months old.
Meadow is now 28 months old and she loves going to Karen’s house. I have always felt comfortable leaving Meadow knowing she is in safe hands. Karen has contributed to each milestone in Meadow’s development, weaning, crawling, walking, talking etc. Karen takes Meadow out to play groups but also has lots of indoor/garden activities/play. Karen has always been flexible with days/hours when needed. I would recommend Karen to anyone looking for childcare.
I hired Nuala for several weeks recently after moving house and waiting for Sheffield LEA to assign a school place. We both had flexible schedules that have worked well together.
My daughter has ASD and can be very particular about whom she likes to spend time with. She is excited every morning when Nuala arrives for playtime. Nuala is very calm, and patient and engages her with conversations and questions about what they are doing. I can tell my daughter is very comfortable around her from the noises I can hear from my office upstairs.
My daughter described her as a friend a few days ago, which is high praise.
Andrea is a fantastic childminder. We have seen our daughter blossom in her care. She is inclusive in the range of structured and unstructured activities that she provides and also mindful of the diversity of the group. She is a great person who truly cares about the welfare of each child and their overall individual development both socially and in relation to key milestones. I recommend her services regularly to family and friends.
Eleanore has been an amazing nanny for my twins, who were 1.5 years old when she started with us in 2021. I highly recommend Eleanore, she is very calm, reliable, flexible, fun and she loves kids and they love her. My kids were always so happy to see her and spend the day with her. She knows Wimbledon and surrounding very well and always has activities planned for the week ahead. When twins started school she stopped working for us to the disappointment of my kids. But i’m still calling her for any babysitting needs. So overall, a fantastic person and a brilliant nanny.

Choosing a childminder for our son was one of the most important decisions we made, and we couldn’t be happier with Tamara.
One of the things that initially drew us to Tamara’s was the beautiful outdoor setting she offers. Surrounded by woodland, a space where our little boy can explore, discover, and let his imagination soar. All types of outdoor activities can be enjoyed due to the size and nature of the setting.
Tamara has been looking after our little boy for some months now and creates a nurturing environment where he feels safe, extremely happy and comfortable. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder and would definitely say that if you have a child that is already walking, Tamara's would be very hard to beat.
Jackie was fantastic looking after my 15 week old whilst I attended a friend’s wedding. This was my first time leaving him for so long and it couldn’t have gone any better, on the day she was prompt and offered to take him from me straight away so I could get ready. I was fully expecting to have to go back to see them/feed but I didn’t and had complete peace of mind that he would be very happy in her care. When I got back in from the wedding he was fast asleep in his pram and she had worked her magic. I would highly recommend Jackie and can’t thank her enough for making this such a positive experience for us both.
Neelofer started looking after my daughter when she was 18months old and looked after my 4 year old during school holidays. My daughter settled in very quickly and I think that is down to Neelofer's caring nature. My girls absolutely love going to Neelofer's. It is like a home away from home, Neelofer is so kind and generous. Her family are very welcoming too. My youngest particularly loved Neelofer's cooking and snacks. Neelofer takes the children out every day to different play groups/ playgrounds and also took my daughter to forest school. Neelofer has lots of toys at her house and a wonderful garden for the children to play in. We were very sad to leave Neelofer, but had to due to change in job situations. Wonderful childminder.
Krasy is an exceptional nanny and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She has looked after my daughter on Thursday's for almost 3 years from nursery through to her being about to start school and has recently been looking after my son too, since he turned 9 months. She's kind, patient, caring, considerate, fun, creative and outdoorsy. Krasy quickly became part of the family, created a deep bond with the children, and genuinely cares about them and their development. She's always happy and brings joy to Thursday's at our house. We interviewed many nannies before finding Krasy as people like her are hard to find. Our brief was to get our daughter out and about as much as possible and they spend so much time in the parks, days out around London, the library (where Krasy reads my daughter princess books for hours!), farm etc. But also do lots of creative activities when they are at home. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone may have.

Yasmien has been looking after my daughter since she was 11 months. She is very caring and nurturing with my little one. My daughter is thriving and she's happy every single day when we pick her up. We are very satisfied with the excellent quality of care and the social development skills of our daughter. Recently we have enjoyed watching her singing some nursery rhymes with actions.
My daughter also loves Yasmien's food 😀. Yasmien also makes a variety of food so the children have an option. It's been a relief to know that she's well taken care of. My eldest also sees Yasmien's on and off and she always asks when she will be going to Aunt Yasmien's house again!
Yasmien is also very flexible even with short notice. She updates you on the little things so you don't feel like you are missing out. We are very happy with the quality of service and would highly recommend her.

We have been so happy with the childminding service Louise provides - our 2 year old daughter settled in really quickly, and always looks forwards to her sessions with Louise. Days are well structured - with planned activities both out & about and at home creating a rich and varied environment for our daughter to develop. Likewise with food - menus are varied and healthy. We thoroughly recommend Louise!
Our little boy has been attending with Dawn for almost a year now and it was the best decision we ever made. It was a very thoughtful decision when choosing a childminder, as we were transitioning from a mainstream nursery and knew that he needed to be in a more attentive and intimate environment for his more reserved and quiet nature. We got very lucky to get a position with Dawn, Lake has come on leaps and bounds in such a short time, his confidence continues to grow and the knowledge and skills he’s coming home with now we know that he will be ready and thrive when it’s time to go to school. It’s a much more homely feel and we are so comfortable with Dawn. She’s full of energy and ready to go everyday, so very passionate and completely submerges into the kids and you can tell she wants to do the best she can. Which is outstanding!
Dawn brings out any potential in terms of educational development and general people skills with Lake. We genuinely feel that this is not just paying for somebody to look after your child, it is an investment into your child’s development and future.
I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone and we will definitely be choosing her again for our second child without a doubt!
Amelia has been looking after my toddler who has quickly become very at ease with her. Whilst getting to know my toddler in my presence she let my toddler lead, giving her space, which I really liked. She's easy to work with, friendly, good straightforward communication and flexible.
