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.
Our daughter started childcare with Marianne at the beginning of January and initially struggled with separation anxiety, however she has already come on leaps and bounds in such short time. It’s all credit to how amazing Marianne is at making the children feel comfortable and safe. She’s more confident, happy and we can really tell how much she loves being with Marianne. We are so grateful to have found Marianne and have her care for our little girl. She’s considerate, caring and nothing is ever a big ask. Thank you for all that you do!!! ☺️

My little girl has been going to Mamta for nearly 2 years now and without a doubt her growth is down to Mamta . She provides such a comfortable and safe environment for the children whilst also teaching them everything they need to know leading up to school .The children are always so happy being around Mamta , she is always taking them out somewhere and exploring with them outdoors which my little girl loves . She exceeds expectations in every way especially with meal times and interactive play. My
Daughters speech wouldn’t have been how it is now without Mamtas help . She is so lovely and gentle with the children which is all we could ever ask for ! Couldn’t recommend enough ! Thankyou Mamta
We have had "Lallie" look after first our son from when he was 2 to when he started at primary school. She was wonderful throughout - the dedication she shows to the kids is unbelievable. Her cooking is first rate and the house is so full of love and patience. We could not wait to start our second child with her and she has been with Laura for 3 years before she leaves to go to primary school in September.
Lallie will be a part of our lives forever. The start that she gave our kids was invaluable and we could not be more grateful. We love you Lallie.
Our little one has been attending the London branch of Seedlings Tale for the last two and a half years and we are so happy with the choice we made for our son. From the beginning, Nawal and her wonderful team have created a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment where he feels safe and settled.
The setting offers a fantastic range of fun and educational activities that support his growth and development. It’s evident that Nawal and the team genuinely care about each child’s wellbeing, thoughtfully tailoring their approach to suit individual needs. We always enjoy receiving the updates and photos, which give us a lovely insight into his day and all the exciting activities he enjoys. The access to local parks and outside space is an added bonus. They even manage to get my son to eat a nice variety of vegetables and I love hearing about all the different food he gets to sample.
What truly sets this childcare apart is its loving, family-like atmosphere and it will be a very sad day when we have to say goodbye to the team (before he starts his next chapter at school).
Thank you for everything.
Highly recommend Childminder.
Fazila and her staff are very caring, reliable professional and always willing to help you and do best for the children.
I can’t find better place for my 2 year old daughter to be in.
She is always happy to go to Fazila’s setting. My daughter could not be in better hands.
Best childminder ever.
Sadiyah and her team are an absolute gem. Always go out their way to help me with my children when I need to go work and even at short notice. She has always been there for my children when they’ve had a bad day school and has shown so much support and you can tell how passionate she is with her job, she’s treats all the children like they’re her family. My children really adore her and the team, and call them Auntie. Sadiyah has been looking after my children from when they were in primary school, and I couldn’t ask for a better person, I’m very grateful for all the help saiyah and her team has given me

After being immobilised for 6 weeks whilst healing 2 broken bones in my leg with a baby who had just started crawling, Nicole was a valuable part of our support system. We are incredibly grateful for the genuine care, interest and attentiveness shown to our little one, from play to nappy changes to putting them to sleep. Basic household chores were carried out too. Even after Nicole's services were no longer needed she would still check in to see how our little one was doing and even wish them a happy birthday. Incredibly kind and thoughtful of Nicole. Thank you 😊
Would highly recommend if you are looking for genuine, warm and friendly care for your baby and family.
Zaynab cared for my 10-years old autistic daughter and was absolutely wonderful. She is friendly and very understanding. She made our daughter feel comfortable and safe , which gave us great peace of mind. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and reliable babysitter.
I’m so glad I contacted her. She was very punctual, and from the moment she arrived, all my fears disappeared as it was my first time. I felt completely comfortable and at ease. She was amazing with my kids, very patient, caring, and clearly experienced in handling children. My kids absolutely loved her, and I was beyond happy with the experience. Highly recommended!

We are so lucky to have found Estelle. We have sent two of our children to Estelle’s welcoming home and both run to the door every morning without looking back! Estelle is such a warm and energetic personality. Every day is well planned and exciting, be-it heading on the train into London Bridge to listen to the piano, heading to the local library or butchers, or just playing with toys and instruments in French. We are kept well informed of her plans throughout the day. We also have regular development meetings to understand how our children are progressing. She treats each child as an individual and tailors her approach for them to thrive. The group dynamics between the children is also lovely to see.
Her home is cosy and safe, food is always home cooked, tasty and varied. She gets the children to join in baking or food preparation safely with child safe equipment. Estelle is also extremely reliable. I can’t remember a day when she has had to close unexpectedly and holidays are shared well in advance.
Estelle is an exceptional childminder and I would recommend her to anyone. She is also super close to Blackheath station which is a bonus for anyone who gets the train to work.
We cannot recommend Vicky at Little Puffins highly enough. From the very beginning, she completely put me at ease. I was extremely anxious about my daughter starting childcare, but Vicky took the time to explain everything clearly, including safeguarding, health and safety policies and so on, which gave me so much reassurance and confidence.
The setting is always spotlessly clean, safe, and welcoming. Vicky is incredibly proactive with the children — they are always out and about at forest school sessions, role play centres, the park, and exploring new environments. This suits our family perfectly as we are very much an on-the-go family, and it’s wonderful knowing my daughter is experiencing so much variety and outdoor play.
Vicky is warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. My daughter is always excited to go, which speaks volumes about the environment and the bond she has built with her. She is also extremely flexible and understanding, fitting around mine and my partner’s unsociable work schedules, which has been a huge support for our family.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Vicky and Little Puffins, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and trustworthy childminder.
Sheila and Naz have looked after my son for 2 years now and I am delighted with my choice of childminders. Their setting is perfect with a wide range of educational toys and resources and the environment is calm, welcoming and stimulating for the children. My son has been supported to learn and develop skills alongside the Early Years curriculum and I have been so impressed and happy with the activities he has bene exposed to. I would recommend Sheila and Naz to anybody.

Navigating childcare in London can be stressful, our work schedules are hectic and so the thought of trying to find a place that gave our two young children a safe, happy and fulfilling environment was daunting. Then we found Simone's Little Tots. Here our two have grown and developed, made friends, pushed their boundaries, and become more confident and happy little children. They feel safe with Simone, Karla and Havanna - finding people who care about how our kids are growing-up has been a major relief for us and a source of real happiness and contentment. The support and flexibility of care offered has been a life-saver and we often say that we couldn't have done it without the team at SLT.
Fatema has been amazing with my daughter. Since being in her care, she has grown so much and really blossomed both socially and emotionally. Her communication is excellent, and she always keeps me informed and reassured.
What stands out most is her genuine passion and care. She creates such a warm, supportive environment, and I’m truly grateful for the positive impact she’s had on my daughter.
From the bottom of our hearts, we feel incredibly lucky to have found Safina and Fasal. Our son started with them when he was just two years old, and as any parent knows, that is such a delicate and emotional time. Letting someone else care for your child is never easy — but from day one, they made us feel safe, supported, and completely reassured.
They welcomed our son with so much warmth, patience, and genuine love that he settled in beautifully. Watching him grow in their care has been such a joy. His confidence has blossomed, his communication skills have improved so much, and he has become more independent every day. It’s clear that everything they do comes from the heart.
Safina and Fasal don’t just look after children — they truly care for them as individuals. They create a nurturing, happy environment filled with learning, laughter, and kindness. Over time, they have become so much more than childminders to us — they have become family.
Their home truly feels like a “home away from home.” There is always a sense of warmth and belonging, and knowing that our son is not only safe but genuinely happy means everything to us. He goes in with a smile and comes home with stories, laughter, and excitement to share.
We could not have asked for better people to care for our child. We are endlessly grateful to Safina and Fasal, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a loving, trustworthy, and truly special environment for their little one.

Vicky has been looking after our youngest since he was just 6 months old (now 3), and also cares for our 7-year-old during the holidays, and we’re so lucky to have found her! She is kind, caring, and truly treats the boys as if they were her own.
Her home is warm and welcoming, with a fantastic playroom full of engaging activities. The children are constantly out and about - trips to the beach, parks, and local outings - which we absolutely love. They have so many fun experiences and are always excited to tell us about their day.
She is also incredibly flexible and has been such a huge help with school runs, which makes such a difference for our family. Most importantly, our boys adore her and are always happy and settled in her care. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
