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.
Oh my God, Hannah is the best childminder I have entrusted my daughter to so far!
She took excellent care of my daughter, even though I contacted her at very short notice. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout the day.
My daughter was well looked after, her nappy was changed regularly, and she took part in lots of activities, including colouring and playing with different toys. Hannah also made sure she was well fed, giving her chicken nuggets, yoghurt, and other snacks, even though I had already packed a lunchbox for her.
I received regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind and kept me informed about how my daughter was doing.
When I arrived to pick her up, my daughter was so happy and excited, as though she had known Hannah and her family for a long time. Seeing how comfortable and content she was meant so much to me.
I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional childminder. She is wonderful at what she does, and I am so grateful for the care she gave my daughter. Thank you so much, Hannah!

On 6th of June we got married and we hired Shona’s excellent nannying services for our 2 year old for a good 20 hours! We trusted Shona to look after our wee one for the whole day, from ceremony to reception and through the night too until 10am next morning!! She was so loved not just by our wee one but her cousins too who instinctively became her shadows too! She is full of positive energy and a natural with kids. We could not have imagined better care for our wee one with anyone else.
Leanne is amazing! At short notice she was able to look after my daughter - Molly was 10 weeks premature, and has to take regular medication, as well as having some allergies.
Leanne was understanding with our circumstances and was able to support and provide care for Molly for the day. Molly had the best time - we got photos and videos of her adventures to the park. I packed Mollys own food as she's got CMPA, however I am aware that Leanne is able to accommodate this.
Would highly recommend and will be using Nanny Nutrition again 😁

We took our soon to visit Blooming flowers and he inmediately felt safe and cozy, like at home, Shibani is lovely and our son did feel a great connection with her. Also, the place is great with a big outdoor playground where kids can be kids.
I had a wonderful experience. Nadyia was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive while looking after my baby. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which really reassured me that my little one was happy and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was in such safe and loving hands. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and reliable childminder.

My son started with angela September 2025. He had just turned 2 and was quiet and shy. Since going to Angela's he has come on leaps and bounds and absolutely loves going. The care she provides is absolutely incredible and all the children she looks after are so polite and respectful. She does so many wonderful activities with them and keeps me and my husband updated with everything we need to know.
Her house and the space for the children is immaculate, welcoming and encouraging for small minds and hands.
We are so thankful for angela. My oldest will be continuing with her for the next year before school and my youngest will be starting with her this September when he turns 9 months.
We cannot recommend angela enough ♡
My daughter has been with Kirsty since she was 7 months old (she’s now 3). She absolutely loves Kirsty and going there. Kirsty is very reliable, communicative and goes out of her way to help us. She involves the children in her care in fun activities and crafts and my daughter has come on really well. We’ll be very sad when it’s time for our daughter to go to school. I would, and have, recommend Kirsty.

I honestly can’t recommend Hayley enough! When my child first started, he was quite nervous, but Hayley made him feel so welcome and comfortable within just a few days. Seeing how quickly he settled in gave me so much confidence that he was in the best hands.
My child absolutely loves going to Hayley’s, and it’s been amazing to see how much his confidence has grown since being with her. He’s developed so much, both socially and personally, and I know that’s down to the care, patience, and encouragement Hayley gives him every day.
It’s such a relief knowing he’s happy, safe, and excited to go each day. Thank you Hayley for everything you do for him we’re so grateful to have found you!
Saima has looked after my two boys (soon to turn 3 and 1) on multiple occasions. She is warm, friendly and responsive. Both boys are happy and relaxed in her presence. Also, her space is very nice: open, inviting with a range of activities for children.

Beca watched my 12 month old son for a couple months a couple days a week. They had a lovely time together it seemed and he always seemed happy to see beca when she came. She had open communication and was flexible with her availability. Beca either stayed at our house and played or took him to the soft play down the road or to the park.She would on occasion feed him his dinner and bath him ready for bedtime.
I was looking for a childminder who was available on weekends, and that’s when I found Shiro. She provided exceptional care for both of my children and even supplied meals, milk, and snacks during their stay.
Shiro also kept me informed throughout the day by sending regular updates, including photos and videos via WhatsApp, which gave me confidence and peace of mind.
I highly recommend Shiro to any parents seeking a trustworthy, attentive, and reasonably priced childminder. Her dedication and care exceeded my expectations.

Elise looked after my two kids (3.5 and 15 month girls) and our cousins 7 month old baby boy for 7 hours at our hotel whilst we attended an event. She was marvellous, my 15 month old is completely clingy and she was fine while we were gone. They were happy, safe and in very good moods when we came back. I'd 100% recommend her to anyone and use her again happily.

I honestly cannot thank Rajith and the team at Shinning Stars Nursery enough for everything they have done for my twins.
Returning to work after spending two years at home with them was one of the most emotional and worrying times for me as a parent. My twins had never been away from us and had very little interaction with other children. They were extremely clingy, especially one of them, and at the time we were also dealing with delayed speech and very picky eating. I constantly worried about how they would cope in a nursery setting.
When I found Shinning Stars Nursery, Rajith immediately put my mind at ease. She listened to all of my concerns and reassured me that the twins would be okay. She was incredibly understanding, flexible with my work rota, and even allowed us to pay weekly instead of requiring full payment upfront. That kindness and support meant so much to our family.
The first few weeks were not easy, but Rajith and her team showed so much patience, care, and understanding. They never made me feel like my children were "too much" or difficult. Instead, they worked with them, encouraged them, and helped them settle in at their own pace.
Looking back to March and seeing how far they have come brings tears to my eyes. The transformation has been amazing. They now run into nursery happily and genuinely look forward to attending. Their speech has improved so much, they can identify colours, count from 1 to 10, ask for food and water, and are becoming more confident and independent every day.
As a parent, there is no better feeling than seeing your children happy, thriving, and excited to learn. Shinning Stars Nursery has played such a huge part in their development, and I will always be grateful for the love, care, and support they have received.
Thank you, Rajith, and thank you to your wonderful team. You have made such a positive difference in our twins' lives, and we will nevery forget it. I would highly recommend Shinning Stars Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, caring, and supportive environment for their child.

Abbie looks after our 1 year old twins for our wedding weekend (2 nights and wedding day) Abbie had popped into see the twins prior to the wedding weekend to see where everything was, discuss food and nap schedules. She helped to get them changed into their wedding outfits, kept them happy and content during the wedding ceremony and brought them in and out of photos aswell! She is so amazing that they both were so happy and content with her the whole time.
Abbie made our wedding weekend so much more relaxed as she took away any parenting pressures from us and we were able to enjoy our day!
I would recommend Abbie to anyone, she is reliable, trustworthy, amazing with all children and goes above and beyond to help!
I am extremely disappointed and saddened by my experience.
My daughter was refused babysitting simply because she has mild autism. As a parent, I find this incredibly upsetting. Autism is not something to be feared or treated as a reason to exclude a child. My daughter is kind, loving, funny, and deserves the same opportunities and respect as any other child.
What upset me the most was the impression that her diagnosis alone was enough to make a decision, without any effort to get to know her as an individual or understand her needs. Every autistic child is different, and making assumptions based solely on a diagnosis only reinforces harmful stereotypes.
As a parent, I am genuinely disgusted and heartbroken that, in this day and age, a child can be turned away because of a disability. I hope this experience encourages greater understanding, compassion, and education about autism so that other families do not have to experience the same hurt.
I cannot recommend a service that made my daughter feel excluded because of who she is.
Our 12 month old is so happy at Penny's. He waves me off happy in the morning and babble-chats with happiness on the way home. When I met Penny, she said she would treat him as one of her own and that is exactly what's happened. Penny's three kids adopted him immediately as one of their gang. He is clearly thrilled he gets to pretend to be a little brother for part of the week and join in playing with them and their toys in the gorgeous open play space and garden at Penny's.
Penny takes the kids on multiple trips, to the zoo, farm, park, library, play groups, classes, so there're always photos of how much he's enjoyed learning, talking and having fun in the day, and Penny sends a summary of naps, food, and nappies at the end of the day. She's been fabulous helping us in trying new nap schedules or anything new around food or toileting. And she clearly just loves it!
I thoroughly recommend Penny to any family, she's brought so much to our son's life
Megan has been supporting our family for several years now. She is an excellent carer for my 14 year old autistic son. She also looks after my two younger children meeting all of their needs equally. I know I can rely on her and the children all like and trust her. I can highly recommend Megan.
Our four children have attended Zainub's setting since they were babies, and now our third child is leaving to start nursery. It's such a bittersweet moment for our family.
Zainub and her team have become like a second family to us. I don't have a village, but they have truly been my village and so much more. They have cared for our children with so much love, kindness and patience, and they always keep us updated with lovely photos and videos of the activities the children are doing throughout the day.
Every member of the team is fantastic, but I have to give a special mention to Auntie Aisha. My boys absolutely adore her and are always talking about her at home. She greets them so warmly every morning, making them feel safe, happy and excited to start their day.
Choosing Zainub for our childcare was one of the best decisions we've ever made. I know my children are happy, loved and thriving there. As soon as the door opens, they run inside with huge smiles, which says everything.
Thank you, Zainub and the whole team, for everything you have done for our family over the years. You have played such an important role in our children's lives, and we will always be grateful. We will miss you all so much and couldn't recommend you more highly. ❤️
Beata has been our daughter’s nanny from just over one year old all the way through to her teenage years. It is hard to imagine how we would have managed without her.
As two full-time working parents, having Beata in our lives has been truly invaluable. She has taken exceptional care of our daughter at every stage of her growth from a baby to a young teenager, always with dedication, attention, and genuine affection.
Beata is caring, reliable, precise, and incredibly professional. Her presence has made a real difference to our family.
We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Beata is a gem and truly deserves an outstanding review in every aspect of her work as a nanny
