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.
Misia has been babysitting my twins since they were 3 (now 7) and she is absolutely incredible. They adore her, and are always begging me to have her come and babysit! She has the magical ability to be able to be super-fun with them (& so patient listening to their craziness!) but also ensure they follow any rules and are in bed on time.
She is extremely professional, and it is very reassuring that she has extensive first-aid knowledge (fortunately never needed to date!)
Can’t rate her highly enough.
Our childminder has been looking after my two sons for many years, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care, kindness, and consistency she provides. She has cared for my eldest after school for the past six years, and for my youngest since he was a toddler and is now at school. Throughout all this time, she has been an incredibly positive and steady influence in their lives.
She picks them up from school every day, and during holidays she goes above and beyond to keep them active and engaged. One of the boys’ favourite parts of the holidays is their morning trips to Richmond Park, where she organises a variety of activities—often teaming up with another childminder to give the children even more opportunities to socialise and explore. She also organises plenty of crafts, creative projects, and hands-on activities that keep them endlessly entertained.
What truly stands out is how genuinely kind and nurturing she is. She treats my children as if they were her own, and they are always excited to spend time with her. After school, she offers a wonderful balance of structured craft activities and free play with children of different ages. She also provides a nutritious home-cooked meal, which is an enormous help to us as working parents.
I trust her completely, and my children adore her. She has played a huge role in their childhood, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so reliable, caring, and committed. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a childminder who truly goes the extra mile.
My little girl has been with Beatriz for 4months now and I can say that Beatriz provides such a warm, safe, and caring environment, and my girl absolutely loves spending time with her. It’s clear how dedicated and passionate she is about what she does. We always feel confident knowing our child is happy, learning, and well looked after. Highly recommend to any family looking for a wonderful childminder!

My son attended from 9 months old until just before his 3rd birthday, and the only reason we moved on was because I felt he was ready for his next adventure at nursery.
Jasmine always provided a great range of meals and made sure the children got out for local walks every day, which I really appreciated.
What I loved most was the home-from-home routine. Whenever I needed to make changes, like adjusting nap times, Jasmine was always happy to follow the same routine I used at home, which made things so much easier and more consistent for my son.
He was always so happy to go each day, which gave me real peace of mind. Since leaving, he has actually been really sad about it, which says everything about how much he loved being there.
I’m so grateful for the care, support and kindness Jasmine showed us both, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful childminder.
I highly recommend this childminder. She is a very kind and caring person who creates a warm and safe environment for children. She is also very flexible with the schedule, which makes things much easier for parents. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the children and their well-being. I’m very happy with the support and care she provides.
I know Anisha through school. She has a beautiful set-up for the kids with a number of well thought out activities they can participate in. She is very caring and nurturing with the kids best interests at heart. I am happy to leave my son in her care
Amy is so brilliant with my 2.5 year old son. She is patient, loves playing with him, always does her best to entertain him, makes him laugh and just really enjoys her time with him! He is always happy when he sees Amy coming in to babysit him.
We started asking Amy to stay with him for a whole day so my partner and I could have a day a month just to ourselves, I was anxious at first but its working out brilliantly! We are happy we have a bit of time to ourselves and baby man is happy he's got a whole day of entertainment with Amy!
Thank you so much Amy, we really appreciate you!
We are beyond happy with the care Becky provides for our son. Not only does she create a warm, welcoming environment where our little boy feels safe and nurtured, she also provides an enriched learning environment. Whether this is through activities in her home, visits to the local farm, community groups, or even bus trips to the aquarium, there are always engaging opportunities for him to explore and learn.
Becky has taken the time to really get to know our little boy and adapts to his ever-changing daily routine, making sure his needs are always met.
She is always friendly and approachable, which makes communication easy. She keeps me updated about my little boy’s day through photos and entries in his daily book, which is so reassuring.
Most importantly, she is incredibly caring and attentive to our son’s needs. Knowing that our little boy is in such a supportive and nurturing setting gives us real peace of mind.
It was a tricky process trying to find a childminder with the ethos and values we wanted for our little boy, but Becky has been a godsend.
I can’t thank Becky enough — she’s incredible!
I am genuinely delighted to write this referral for Sam, not only because she is an outstanding childminder, but because she has also become a trusted friend to our family. Sam has been caring for my children since my eldest daughter was just 10 months old back in 2016, and she now looks after my 3 year old daughter with the same warmth, patience, and dedication she has shown from the very beginning.
Sam creates a truly wonderful environment for the children in her care. It’s a place where they feel safe, happy, and completely themselves. She has a natural ability to make every child feel valued and included, and her setting is full of enriching activities that spark curiosity and support their development. The photos she sends throughout the day are such a joy – they capture the fun, the learning, and all the little moments that show just how much the children adore being with her.
One of the things I appreciate most is how incredibly attentive she has been to my daughter’s allergies. Sam has always taken this responsibility seriously, following every guideline with care and ensuring her environment is safe and well‑managed. Her communication has been exceptional, and I’ve always felt completely confident leaving my daughter in her hands. She also makes the best vegan lemon drizzle cake!
Sam is warm, reliable, and deeply committed to the children she looks after. She has played a significant role in my daughters’ early years, and I am truly grateful for the love, stability, and positive impact she has had on our family. We are very sad to be leaving her this year, as she has been such an important part of our lives for so long. As both a parent and a friend, I would not hesitate to recommend her to any parent seeking a caring, trustworthy, and highly capable childminder.
Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!

Beverly has been looking after my son for over a year now, and she is honestly the best.
Settling your child in is always nerve wrecking for the parent, but Beverly made this such a smooth process and he was settled within 2 weeks.
Fast forward to over a year later my son absolutely loves it there, he's comfortable, he has his routine, he has some 1:1 time which really advances his development, he's well fed and looked after.
Beverly incorporates learning, developmental skills and encourages independence into their day to day, which really prepares them for the next step.
I am so appreciate of the time and effort Beverly has put into my son, and I can see the level of care she pours into all the children.
Her home is such a warm and comfortable environment and the children are genuinely happy.
Sending my son here was one of the best decisions I've made.
Susan has looked after both our children from age 1 up until school for my eldest and is still caring for our 2 year old. Finding Susan was one of the best things we ever did as parents!
From the moment we met Susan we could see the love and enjoyment she has for nurturing children and supporting their development. Susan provides a home from home for the children, always prepares healthy nutritious meals, shares a love of stories with the children and takes them on enriching and adventurous days out to Wisley, playgrounds, Hampton court, National Trust locations, farms, river walks, museums - the list goes on! Susan sets themes for her learning and tailors them to the children's age and development- they're currently enjoying the Tiger who came to Tea with lots of activities related to this.
When my eldest was due to start school she provided incredible support making the transition seamless and he still has such a special bond with her.
Susan offers advice and support when needed such as through potty training, sleep, eating and is always happy to follow your routines/preferences for your child's care.
I honestly cannot recommend Susan more, she has completed an incredible amount of training, is so knowledgeable and most importantly will love and care for your children like her own!
Honey has been an absolutely wonderful childminder for our family and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, the settling-in period was so thoughtful and reassuring. She made both my son and us as parents feel completely comfortable and confident that he was in the best hands.
One of the things that really stands out about Honey is how well she truly knows the children in her care. She makes such an effort to understand their personalities, their likes and dislikes, and always goes out of her way to make sure this is reflected in their day-to-day activities. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about every child.
Honey also works closely with parents and really mirrors the milestones we are aiming for at home. For example, she supported me with toilet training and followed the same approach we were using at home, which made such a huge difference and had a really positive impact. That consistency between home and childcare meant our son progressed with so much confidence.
She has also always been incredibly flexible and supportive. If we were ever running late or needed to send our son for an additional day, she was always so understanding and accommodating, which we really appreciated.
The children also get to experience so many lovely outings and trips, and it’s clear how much effort Honey puts into making each day engaging and fun for them.
My son spent several years with Honey before moving on to a school-based nursery, and I can truly see how the strong foundation she helped build has allowed him to flourish in this next stage. The care, encouragement and confidence she gave him during those early years have made such a difference.
In fact, our experience was so positive that we didn’t hesitate to send our second child to Honey as well. She has settled in so well and it’s so reassuring knowing she is in such a warm and nurturing environment.
A sincere thank you to Honey for everything she has done for our family over the past three years. We are so grateful for the care, dedication and love she has shown our children.
Esther and her husband have been incredible childminders, and we truly couldn’t have been happier with the care they’ve provided for our children.
Our eldest attended from September 2022 until September 2025, and thanks to their support, encouragement and structured environment, she left feeling very confident and school-ready. We now also have our younger child attending, which says a lot about the trust we have in them.
They provide such a warm, loving home environment that is always full of laughter. The children are treated like part of the family while also being gently encouraged to develop independence and excellent manners.
Esther also makes sure the children have plenty of opportunities to explore and learn through outings. They regularly attend local toddler groups and enjoy trips to places such as National Trust sites and even theme parks, which the children absolutely love.
We feel very lucky to have found Esther and her family and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a caring, fun and nurturing childminding setting
Donna is the best childminder and her team are amazing—everyone who works there is fantastic.
My son has been going to TidiBears since he was 1 years old. I was so nervous about leaving him with anyone, as I had only ever left him with my parents before.
He has been there for a year and a half now and goes three days a week. He absolutely loves it there! Even on days he doesn’t attend, he asks to see Donna, Nikki, and his friends.
He has come on leaps and bounds and is always learning something new. I couldn’t thank them enough—they go above and beyond and treat the children as if they were their own.
I would highly recommend them!!
Stella has provided amazing care for my little one and always keeps me up to date on her day to day and sends me regular pictures and videos of her having a blast in her care. The genuine love and care she has for children was very clear from day one of meeting her and made her an obvious choice to look after my precious little girl, I couldn’t recommend her enough.

My son has been going to this childminder for 2 years now, and I’m so happy that we chose them. Aunty Naghma and her team are wonderful people, my son is always happy going there, I see him growing and developing day by day, and it’s partly thanks to them. They are really kind, welcoming and flexible. I 100% recommend this childminder. You won’t regret it!

Daniela stepped in as a full time nanny when our regular nanny was away for a month. She is tidy, conscientious and the children (5 and 2) adore her. Her demeanour is always cheerful and she is happy to help and contribute to the smooth running of the household; preparing healthy food for the children, managing their laundry and keeping the play area and kitchen neat and tidy. She continues to work with us when we need an extra hand.
Naomi mainly looks after our youngest son (4 days out of 5) after school, but she has also had our oldest. Her home is both warm and welcoming. She creates fun activities whilst also picking up on indvidual needs, giving space or hugs; whichever is required! We know that when our children are in her care, they are loved, understood and having fun!
