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.
My little boy has been going to Zee’s setting since November 2025 and we couldn't be happier with the care our child has received.
From the very beginning, Zee has been so kind, patient, and genuinely caring, making both us and Isaac feel comfortable and welcome. Isaac settled in much quicker than we expected and adores Zee’s place as much as home.
The setting is well organized, safe, clean and very welcoming. Zee is creative and always looking for new fun ideas to do with the children. Isaac really enjoys the wide range of different activities that Zee offers and it’s great to see how much he has learnt & his confidence grows over the past few months. We always look forward to receiving photos and daily updates and Zee has always been on top of this, she is a great communicator.
I’m very happy with the service Zee provides, knowing my son is safe and fully happy when around her care.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful person to care for our little boy over the past 2.5 years. Before Poly we had a few other people doing her job but it never felt right. From the very beginning, Poly became so much more than our nanny. She became a truly special part of our family - we call her 'Auntie Poly'
She has cared for my boy with so much love, patience, kindness and warmth, and we have always felt completely reassured knowing he was in her hands. When she arrived at our place our boy was not even walking and now she has watched him grow and celebrated his little milestones and filled his days with fun, laughter and so many happy memories.
Poly was very flexible with our hours and always trying to help wherever she could.
It’s incredibly hard to say goodbye after such a special chapter of our lives. We will always be grateful for everything she has done for our boy and for our family. She will always have a special place in our hearts, and we hope she knows just how loved and appreciated she is.
Thank you for loving our boy as your own. We will miss you more than words can say. ❤️

We honestly couldn’t recommend Sharon enough. From the very first day, it has felt like a second home for our daughter. Sharon has cared for her with so much love, kindness and patience, always making her feel like one of her own children.
Over the years, Sharon has become such a special person in our daughter’s life. She has helped her grow in confidence, become more independent and, most importantly, always made her feel safe, happy and loved.
Leaving your child with someone is never easy, but with Sharon we have always had complete peace of mind knowing she is being cared for as though she were part of Sharon’s own family. It really is so much more than childcare — it feels like home.
We will forever be grateful to Sharon for all the love, care, fun and wonderful memories she has given our daughter. She has been such a huge part of her early years, and we couldn’t have wished for anyone better. Thank you for everything, Sharon. ❤️
Charlotte has started working with our son, to provide direct 1-to-1 tuition as supplement to his normal Mon-Fri school attendance.
The sessions have been extremely beneficial. The 1-to-1 relationship ensures our son receives tuition that is specific to his needs, recognising his existing strengths and uplifting areas where he needs further development.
Charlotte demonstrates experience and variety in her educational abilities, to keep the sessions fresh, interesting and progressive.
Our daughter spent around 2 years with Sally aged 1-3 and we are so so lucky to have had her for those years.
What we loved the most:
- The babies / toddlers get to go outside and explore all sorts of fun places like Paradise Park, Stanmer Park, loads of farms, the beach in summer etc. - this just felt so much better to us than being at the same nursery setting all week
- There are only 3 children at a time and they form such lovely bonds with each other, as well as with Sally
- Our daughter was always SO excited and happy to go to Sally's and this made us feel so much better about leaving her all day with someone other than us
- Even though there's lots of activities and trips every day there is also a clear routine every day which I think enabled our daughter to feel settled quickly
- From a parent perspective, it was nice to interact with one person rather than there being multiple different numbers and staff if we wanted to get in touch with her
- Sally takes a common sense approach when toddlers have colds / sicknesses
- Everything was very professional and organised over the 2 years we used Sally's services
We were very keen to use a childminder and Sally completely lived up to our expectations!
Paula has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 children, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is such a kind, caring and genuinely lovely person, and from the very beginning I felt completely confident that my children were safe, happy and well cared for in her hands.
Both children loved going to Paula’s and had so much respect and affection for her. She created a warm and nurturing environment, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about the children as individuals.
Paula was also flexible and understanding, which made such a difference. She always went the extra mile and would check in on us if the children or I were unwell, which showed just how thoughtful and caring she is beyond simply providing childcare.
Knowing that my children were happy, safe and so well looked after gave me complete peace of mind while they were with her. We are genuinely going to miss Paula and feel very lucky to have had her as such an important part of my children’s early years. ❤️

Nikkie, Harry and Laura are just fantastic and provide a really lovely, supportive environment with the perfect balance between play and learning. My son was there weekly from nine months to 3 years, but he often attended much more when Nikkie had more availability. He'd bring home an array of fab crafts which he'd made (including really thoughtful greetings cards ahead of Mother's Day etc). He was always proud of the different things he'd learnt and even though he's now at full-time pre-school he still constantly asks, "can we see Harry, Nikkie and Laura soon"? He was really well fed, loved the other children who were various ages and would tell us all about the visits to the beach, park or soft play they did daily. Nikkie was also really helpful in supporting us as first-time parents. I honestly can't recommend this setting enough - I've discovered how rare it is to have three registered childminders looking after a small group and I know my son really benefitted from this much support.

Kat was an absolute lifeline during my first year of parenthood. Navigating new motherhood in a different country away from my family felt daunting, but her presence changed everything. She brought a rare blend of deep professionalism, warmth, and intuitive care that gave me complete peace of mind. I will forever be grateful for the comfort, stability, and heart she brought to our lives during such a crucial year.
Ewa is absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she gives to my little boy. She is kind, caring, patient and genuinely loves what she does. My baby boy has been with Ewa from a young age and will be staying with her until he is 2 years old, and I feel so lucky to have found her.
One of the things I really love is receiving daily updates and pictures throughout the day. It’s so lovely to see what he has been up to, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing that he is happy, enjoying himself and being well looked after.
He is always happy to see Ewa, which says so much about how comfortable and secure he feels with her. She puts so much care and effort into making sure he is happy, learning and having fun.
I would highly recommend Ewa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring and wonderful childminder. Knowing my little boy is in such safe and loving hands means so much to us. We are very grateful for everything she does for him. ❤️
Leaving your baby in the trust of somebody else and having to go back to work, has got to be one of the toughest decisions you’ll ever make. Shelly makes that easier for you. It’s a home from home environment. Immys development came on leaps and bounds and she’s part of the reason she’s the confident, kind & clever little girl she is today. It’s not just the adventures here there and everywhere- & there really are special days out.. but also the little magical moments she creates for birthdays and Christmas etc. All the little things you don’t expect but mean so much! I had another child and there was no doubt both our girls would be with Shelly. She also provides great flexibility in times of unexpected troubles. Me and Jamie are super grateful for caring for our babies and helping them thrive. Both our girls say “Shelly’s my best friend, I love her” what more is there to say!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Tinzar provides for our son. From day one, she created a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where he instantly felt comfortable and happy.
What sets Tinzar apart is her genuine care and dedication to each child's development. She plans a brilliant range of activities—from creative crafts and sensory play to fun outdoor trips—that keep him constantly engaged, curious, and learning. We love getting regular updates and photos throughout the day, which give us total peace of mind while we're at work.
Her communication is excellent, and she maintains a wonderful balance of structure, learning, and fun. Our son has grown so much in confidence and independence since joining her setting, and he looks forward to going to her house every single day.
We highly recommend Tinzar to any parent looking for high-quality, loving, and reliable childcare.
Kailani has taken care of my son over the past 3 years. Initially one day a week when he was around a year old, and then he returned full time around two years old until starting school nursery this September.
Kailani helped Joey prepare for nursery doing plenty of learning, reading, arts and crafts and taking him to a local playgroup and park so he was kept busy and every day and burning his energy off and socialising with the other children. I also noticed he learnt good manners/boundaries and listening when going outside.
Lovely, clean home with a nice sized play room and really nice family. Joey much preferred this setting to a private nursery which we tried a couple of times. Overall, we found the quality of care great. Always fed and watered and doing something fun with the day. Highly recommend

Living away from family, finding someone we can truly trust has meant so much to us. Irania has created a warm, loving and caring environment that feels like a second home for my daughter. It’s wonderful to see how happy and comfortable she is with Irania, and we feel so lucky to have found her.

Seeing how much Eizen has grown and thrived at Cute 1s is such a huge win. When a child is a "tough cookie"—strong-willed, determined, and full of energy—it takes a truly special team to channel that personality into fast learning and positive growth.
Naghma aunty, Muskan, and Iqra have clearly built a wonderful environment for him. It sounds like Muskan and Iqra in particular have put in extra patience, effort, and individual attention to work through those challenging moments with him, turning potential daily struggles into milestones.
Most importantly, having complete peace of mind that he is safe, happy, and intellectually stimulated every day makes all the difference
We are very thankful as a family
We honestly couldn’t recommend Lorraine highly enough. She is an absolutely wonderful childminder and has been amazing with our son from day one.
She is caring, patient, attentive and genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure the children in her care feel safe, happy and loved. Our son absolutely adores going to her, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in such capable and caring hands.
The setting and communication is fantastic, and we always feel kept up to date with how the day has gone. It’s clear that she puts so much thought and effort into creating a warm, fun and nurturing environment where children can learn, play and develop with confidence.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Lorraine. She truly is one of a kind and, without a doubt, the best childminder we could have asked for.
Where do I begin? My daughter first started with Jen when she had just turned one and remained in her wonderful care for three years. I genuinely cannot recommend Jen enough.
It’s incredibly daunting leaving your child with someone, but from that very first moment Jen was warm and reassuring, providing a wonderful home from home environment. My daughter absolutely loved every single minute she spent at Jen’s, so much so that she often didn’t want to come home!
Jen goes above and beyond to provide a nurturing, educational and safe space, full of love and a little bit of magic. Every detail is so thoughtfully considered. She creates the most wonderful and intriguing setups for the children, both inside and out, engaging them in play that they learn so much from without even realising it.
And the meals she cooks are nothing short of wonderful. She offers such a healthy and varied selection of home cooked food that my daughter would often lick the plate clean (I have photographic evidence!).
Her loving and caring nature is at the heart of everything she does. She really gets to know each child as an individual, understanding their little personalities, interests and needs, and it was so clear to us just how genuinely she cared for our daughter.
Jen also gave her so many wonderful experiences, outings and memories along the way. We watched our daughter grow from a tiny one year old into a confident, curious and independent four year old, and there is no doubt that Jen played a huge part in that. When the time finally came for her to leave and start her next chapter at nursery, it genuinely felt like the end of an era for all of us. We couldn’t have wished for a better person to care for our daughter during those incredibly important early years.
Any family lucky enough to find a place with Jen can feel completely confident that their child will be cared for, encouraged, nurtured and very much loved. We will always be incredibly grateful for the three wonderful years our daughter spent with her.
We couldn't recommend Sadika highly enough! She and Ama looked after our twins for 2 years and provided such a loving, nurturing and safe environment for them. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy, having fun and being cared for so well each day. The twins loved their time at Deeka's; playing with their friends, spending time in the garden or at the park, circle times, stories and often came home proudly showing off their arts and crafts projects! Sadika was always incredibly supportive and flexible, and was often willing to help at short notice whenever we needed it. We are so grateful for all the love, care and attention she gave our children over the past two years and for the positive impact she has had on their early years. We would wholeheartedly recommend Sadika to any family looking for a wonderful childminder.
We have absolutely adored Lucy and Natalie,
I can't thank them both enough for everything they done. They have made being a first-time mum returning to full-time work so much easier and so much less daunting. Receiving the photos and updates during lunch time has given me such comfort and joy, and it's made the transition from maternity leave back to work so much easier, knowing he has been so happy, safe and so well cared for.
Our LO just loved being there and after a few weeks hardly looked back to say goodbye to us (in the best way).
We have nothing but praise for them both.
I'm so sad that we're leaving and only left due to moving up north.
Sharon has looked after our daughter in a nanny share from the age of one until now, at just over two and a half. Sadly, our daughter will be starting nursery, so we unfortunately have to let Sharon go.
Sharon has been amazing with our daughter. She is caring and incredibly patient, while also setting clear and consistent boundaries. Our daughter has felt completely happy and comfortable with her and has developed a wonderful relationship with her constantly laughing and running to her in the mornings.
Sharon is extremely reliable, flexible and easy to communicate with, which has made the nannyshare arrangement work brilliantly. She has always kept our daughter active and engaged, taking her to playgroups, parks and other activities, as well as creating a good routine at home.
Sharon is also very well known and highly respected within the local school community, having looked after a few local children over the years. Some are now in Year 6, when they see Sharon at the school gates, they still run over to give her a hug!
We feel very lucky to have had Sharon looking after our daughter during such an important stage of her life. We will all miss her enormously and would wholeheartedly recommend her to another family.
