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.
Ellie helped us so much with our first born son. He was struggling with teething early at 3 months and not feeding well. We were not getting any sleep. Ellie is a lovely trusted professional and instantly has made our family at ease. We have had experience with maternity nurses who have left me feeling anxious and unconfident and Ellie has done the opposite and really helped our family in what was quite a tricky time.
She helped with suggesting tips on how to help his feeding and instantly he has been putting on more weight. We also understand now how to start trying to establish longer sleeps too.
I would highly recommend Ellie I think any family would be lucky to have her support

She was looking after my son for few mounts and she is excellent. So kind and nice Lady.
She was keeping me updated with everything every day my son was with her. She was taking Liam out for walks, in the parks, to the playground, to see the trains.
She has excellent teaching skills and try her best all the time for the kids she is looking after.
Her place is very well maintained and clean and has lots of toys and staff helping the kids for entertaining and teaching.
I could not find someone better than her to help us looking after our treasure.
Thank you so much, Madhu!
For sure, we'll stay in touch!
Our daughter attends Ladybird Club since she was 9 months old. Since the first visit we had the feeling that Clara would thrive there. The environment is so exciting and I felt so comfortable going back to work after my maternity leave. I knew she would be safe and have lots to explore while I was away. She is now nearly 2yo and since the first day we never had tears to come in. She loves going in everyday and sometimes does not want to come home in the end of the day. This tells us a lot! Teresa and Maria are always so respectful and caring with us parents and all the children. They provide an inclusive provision with different and exciting areas to explore everyday. In the end of the day we always have a detailed description of what our daughter has been exploring and photos of the day.
Teresa and her team are very professional, honest and supportive. We can not recommend them enough.
Thank you Ladybird club!
Jemma is an amazing childminder. She treats my children as if they are her own and they love being with her as well. She keeps them busy with different activities throughout the day. Crafts, baking, playing, keeping them engaged throughout the day. I wouldn't use anyone else. She's friendly down to earth and any concerns she listens to. If one hasn't been themselves I get updates throughout the day on now they are, which I find so reassuring.
House is a lovely family setting with slide etc in the garden.
We are writing to highly recommend Dia as a nanny for your childcare needs. Dia has been an integral part of our family for the past 6 years and has looked continuously after both our children (6-year old boy and 3-year old girl).
We feel incredibly blessed to have found Dia at the birth of our first child as she has met all our evolving needs and beyond, from looking after newborns to helping them develop social and language skills, performing all children-related housekeeping activities (laundrying, ironing, meal cooking), or engaging in playful yet education activities. Since our son started school, she also helps with his school work, practicing his phonics and math. But most importantly our children love her very much.
She has proven to be an amazing educator as much as a carer and importantly someone very trustworthy and reliable, providing a very structured and predictable environment for the happy development of our children. She is very patient with our children and when needed, Dia knows how to help them appreciate the importance of good behavior in a very gentle and loving way. In spite of the natural bonding between Dia and the children, she has maintained some healthy boundaries to facilitate our own relationship with them.
Some of the primary highlights include:
-Very trustworthy, punctual and reliable (takes our children every day to various activities, never away at short notice, flexible to start earlier/finish later when the need arises)
-Incredibly organised and tidy - our children arrive on time for their activities with the correct outfit, bags, games etc. and always manages to leave the house sparkling
-Great sense of initiative and independence (coordinates with other nannies/mom’s for playdates, signs up and goes to local activities)
-Engage in screen-free educational activities for child development (we have a no-screen policy at home) with a mixture of indoor activities and outdoor play in the park in the warmer months. Dia is never on her phone but always proactively engages with the children.
-Acts as carer for all children-related needs (nursery tidy, bathing, laundry, fresh cooking)
We can’t say enough great things about Dia and what she has done for us in our journey as new parents. She is polite, charming, discreet and overall just an amazing person and we cannot overstate the positive impact she has had on our lives. Sadly as our little girl starts school in September we no longer need so many hours during the week, especially mornings. We are confident that she will always be part of our lives and wish she can find a family that appreciates and cares for her as much as we do.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need more information
We are so grateful to have her as our kids nanny! (6 years old and 3 years old) She has been an absolute blessing to our family. So kind, patient, and loving, and our children adore her. She is reliable and communicates effectively with us about our child's daily activities, meals, and any issues that may arise. She is always available for extended hours. We recommend her strongly.
Loved using Monkey Mayhem childminders. Love her charming personality and the way she looked after my 8 months baby for 2 years. Unfortunately I have to move towns due to work . Im hoping my little one bond's with her new childminder just like she did with Takmeen. Keep up the hard work.
Karolina is amazing. My daughter was one year old when she started with her. From the beginning I was so happy with the way she was taking care of her. Se was so gentle and patient, when my daughter was confused and tried to sort out new situation. I was scared, but she said will be fine, and just month after was just perfect. Little one is so happy and excited when she just see the door from her house. I can also see huge progress in her development. That’s the person you can 100% count on, and trust her, which was so important for me. She has two daughters herself, so she is not only the childminder, she’s like a mother to kids she has under her care.
Karolina is also so professional, and well organised.
I highly recommend!
Our boy has been going to Teresa and Maria since he was 13 months, for a year and a half now. He settled in amazingly quickly, happily walking in for the day, which is all a parent can ask for. They do a vast range of activities to encourage learning through play, from playing with shaving foam to the constant cooking and cake making. Our boy has come on leaps and bounds and is ahead of where he needs to be at his age thanks to his childcare setting. We get daily updates and pictures which will always make us smile. It is a home away from home and we would happily recommend Teresa, Maria and Kev to anyone looking for childcare.
My daughter started with Iona in March after having to take her out of another previous setting due to forming anxiety and not settling and from the minute my daughter walked in for her first settling she instantly formed a bond with Iona and we could tell she felt as ease and very comfortable.
My daughter has developed so much since being with her, Iona is really kind and has provided a wonderful, safe and nurturing environment. My daughter has already learnt loads with her through play and fun creative activities and also all the fun outings they do.
I would highly recommend this setting, Iona goes above and beyond to make sure every child’s individual needs are met and takes such pride and care for each child.

I’m thrilled with the experience we’ve had at Ami’s nursery. My son genuinely looks forward to going there every day, which is a testament to the wonderful atmosphere they’ve cultivated. The staff is not only friendly but also incredibly caring and attentive to each child’s needs. They always greet us with a smile and make us feel like part of their daycare family.
One thing I really appreciate is how accommodating they’ve been. They’ve worked with us on scheduling and have been understanding of any special requests we’ve had. It’s made balancing work and childcare so much easier.
The facilities are excellent—clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up with a variety of activities that keep the kids engaged and learning. I’ve noticed such positive development in my son since he started here, which is a huge relief for us as parents.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ami’s nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child. Knowing that my son is happy and well-cared for during the day gives me peace of mind.
We Recently joined back with Anna Childminding after getting my full time job placement.
Im Very grateful for all the help with obtaining the 15 hours free funded childcare, where a few childcare providers did not want to help me Nisha and the staff went above and beyond what they were expected to do and communicated with me the entire time!
My Harry absolutely loves it at Anna Childminding. I did also enrol my child in a nursery when away but he was not receiving the same one to one care that he was offered at Anna Childminding.
My son has had speech difficulties in the past but has over come them being at Anna childminding, he has gained alot more confidence.
Nisha has spent extra time on specific activities as well as outings to the local playgroup and park which he loves!
Thanks once again

Pauline looked after our 2-year-old for several months while we were new to the area and settling in to our new jobs. She was genuinely amazing! She quickly established herself as an essential haven of security and consistency for our daughter during a very unsettled period. She helped her establish strong bonds with the other children through structured play, forest walks, messy play and personal development. She gave feedback every day at pickup and always made us feel completely confident about our daughter’s care. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
I met with denise last week. Her childcare setting is lovely. The children she was caring for are very polite, kind and friendly. Denise was lovely and a true believer in a good relationship with the children she cares for and their families. Would highly recommend.
My son has been with Teresa for a little over 2 years now and I have just introduced my 2nd child into the setting. My son thoroughly enjoys spending time with Teresa. She has created a safe space for all the kids where they can free play but always puts lots of effort into making lots of activities that are fun and educational providing lots of stimulation. Finding a childminder that cares as much as Teresa would be hard, she is so selfless and put the kids before everything! My son gets very excited to leave the house on "Teresa days" 😀
The food on offer for the kids is really diverse and nutritional getting a good variety into their diets. Absolutely no complaints here I think Teresa and everyone else with her is outstanding at what they do.

She has been working and communicate with me to meet my baby's needs and provides very detailed feedback throughout the day and upon collection. I fully trust that my daughter is being well cared for and stimulated in her evironment. Thank you Yvonne :)

Ewa looked after our little girl for nearly a year and has been absolutely amazing. She really did provide a second home for our daughter who loved it there and settled very quickly. She’s very caring and full of energy. She’s always taking the children out on adventures and provides lots of opportunities for learning and fun. Her family is just as welcoming. She provides healthy home-cooked meals throughout the days. We highly recommend her!

I called Fifi to help with my 3 children as I am a very busy mommy, she replied within 24hrs, and she started I was not comfortable about someone else looking after my children but she is so kind, helpful and always available. Thanks so much Fifi for always saving me. Oh I forgot she does nice Afro braids hairstyles too😍😍
