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.
Gemma is currently our wonderful nanny and has worked for us the past 18 months, looking after our 3-year old son.
Our son is starting Preschool soon, which is why we're ending our contract with Gemma. We are therefore very keen to support Gemma’s search for a new family; she is the best!
More information about Gemma:
Gemma has looked after our 3-year old son since he was 22 months old. She worked 3 days/week initially, and now works 4 days/week for us, 8.30am-5.30pm. Gemma is highly experienced with babies and toddlers, and came recommended by local parents who absolutely raved about her.
We have found Gemma to be utterly conscientious and committed to our son's wellbeing. She has formed a very special bond with him, becoming almost a second mum. He’s grown so much under her care and we feel very lucky to have been able to give him such a nurturing start in life.
Gemma’s strengths are her deep experience and her genuine love of children; she is playful, energetic and fun-loving and our son laughs with her all day long. She is also extremely calm, patient and creative, which is necessary with strong-willed toddlers like ours!
Gemma is highly conscientious, taking great care to understand our son’s routine and follow through with every detail. She finds playful ways to get him to do everyday tasks, and always pays close attention to his health and safety. We feel completely comfortable letting Gemma take him to the doctor, the dentist, or out on adventures—which has made it possible for us to focus on our careers knowing he’s in the best hands.
Under Gemma’s care, our son has developed on all fronts; his confidence, speech and motor skills are all flourishing. And most importantly he is happy, trusting and kind to others, which is in great part down to Gemma’s nurture, care and guidance.
Wishing Gemma the absolute best. We are confident she will be snapped up—she is everything you could want for your children.
We are happy to share more if you’d like a chat or a reference—just ask.

Deborah cared for our 11 week old daughter of an evening until late. This included feeding, changing, playing and putting her to bed, and feeding/settling her when she woke in the night. She was calm with our daughter who loved her. It was our first time leaving her and Deborah made us feel very at ease, with exceptional communication throughout the evening with photos and messages. We have already re-booked her and highly recommend.

I honestly can’t recommend Farzana enough. She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my child. From day one she created such a safe, warm and loving environment that immediately put me at ease.
She is incredibly trustworthy and reliable, and I always feel confident leaving my child in her care full time. The bond she has built with my child is so special and secure. You can really see how much genuine love, care and compassion she puts into what she does.
Farzana is not just a childminder, she truly treats the children like her own. She is kind, friendly, patient and always goes above and beyond.
I’m so grateful to have found her. She’s simply amazing.
We had a great experience with this nanny. She was very caring and kept my daughter happy and well occupied. She was also tidy, always cleaning up after playtime.
As a worried parent, I really appreciated how she followed my instructions and kept me updated. My daughter was content and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her.
We've had joy a few times now and will always ask her first when we need child care absolutely lovely young lady get on with both my babies and even very good with my eldest who's a teen and autistic. She delivers a fantastic service and always come home to tidy home can not put into words how wonderful she is with the children 😀
Josie has been looking after our 4 year old son regularly for a few months. She brings lots of fresh energy and enthusiasm
She is very crafty e.g. collecting leaves to make art and decorating the house. She is responsive when messaging and respectful and happy to help.

Communication has been great all the way put my mind to ease. When I went to collect him he was happy and content he didn't want to leave. Thanks linesha looking forward to next time x
Seda helped us with our newborn Leo after we had some mixed experiences with prior night nannies. Seda was amazing - she helped calm our nerves about looking after him, was extremely caring and attentive and very knowledgable. We feel that we are better parents from having been able to learn from Seda.
Her nursing background was very helpful in helping us manage his reflux as well as caring for him after his vaccinations.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our child receives at Tiny Totz, especially with Hayley. She goes above and beyond in every way, creating such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where the children truly thrive.
Hayley has a wonderful way with the kids, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about each and every one of them. One of the things we love most is the time and effort she puts into making special occasions memorable. Whether it’s Mother’s Day, Christmas, or other celebrations, she helps the children create thoughtful, personal gifts that we truly cherish. It’s those little touches that make such a big difference.
She’s also incredibly approachable and easy to talk to—more like a friend than just a childminder. Communication is always open and honest, which gives us great peace of mind. On several occasions, she has gone out of her way to help us with childcare hours, showing real flexibility and understanding when we’ve needed it most.
Above all, Hayley prioritises the safety and wellbeing of the children at all times. Knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands is invaluable. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.
Claudia is fantastic at what she does! She cares so much about each and every child in her care and always goes the extra mile to get to know them all on a personal level. She plans activities that match the requirements of the Early Years curriculum, sends regular photos and updates about what the children have been doing and is flexible as and when you need her to be. She has been a huge influence in my daughter’s life - she is a key figure and role model who my daughter looks up to and she also adores the rest of Claudia’s family. Claudia treats the children as if they are her own and for that I will be eternally grateful. She tries her best to get the children out and about in the garden as much as possible, completes and shares regular assessments of the children and works on their targets. Claudia is not just my daughter’s childminder, we have built such a good friendship over 2 years that I now see her as a friend too. She’s one in a million!
Molly has been caring for our two children, H, now aged eight months, and L, aged two, since January 2026, and she has been truly exceptional.
Her communication is brilliant. She consistently provides the most beautiful photographs and detailed updates of their daily activities. This regular contact is incredibly reassuring and allows us to discuss the events of their day together over family dinners. Additionally, Molly has lovely children of her own. Because they are similar in age to ours, the children have quickly formed wonderful friendships.
Furthermore, Molly possesses a highly practical approach to toddler and baby illnesses. She is completely understanding and accommodating regarding minor coughs and colds. She orchestrates beautiful outings and encourages the children to create wonderful seasonal crafts. We have been delighted to receive lovely handmade gifts for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays, and Easter.
We honestly cannot recommend Molly highly enough to any family considering her services. She has been absolutely fantastic, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her.
Thank you, Molly! ❤️

We were very happy with Teresa as a babysitter. She was friendly, flexible, and easy to communicate with, especially when I needed to make changes to the times. She brought her own games and craft activities for the children, which was lovely, but she was also very happy to let them play independently while keeping a careful eye on them. When I got home each evening, she always gave me a helpful update about how things had gone and mentioned any issues. She was great with the children, and I would definitely recommend her.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for our son. He was in her care from 18 months old right up until he started school, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for him to grow and develop.
Evely is exceptionally kind, patient, and nurturing, always created a warm and welcoming atmosphere where our son felt safe, happy, and truly cared for.
Communication was excellent throughout -Evely always kept us updated on his day, his progress, and any important information, which gave us great peace of mind.
Most importantly, our son absolutely loved his time with her. He looked forward to going each week and formed a strong, positive bond. It was clear he was not only well cared for but also encouraged to learn and develop. He gained so much during his time there, both socially and educationally.
We are so grateful for the role she played in his early years and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, dedicated, and supportive childminder.
You start a conversation with her, and then she completely ignores you. She initially replied, “Hi, thank you for your message. I am available evenings and weekends at the moment. Is this of any help to you? ” I responded, she read it and then nothing. Quite frustrating, and honestly a bit unreliable!
