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.
With Gail, I’m always confident that my two children are in excellent hands. They’re genuinely excited to spend time with her, and it’s clear how much they enjoy their days. I really appreciate the regular updates she sends, complete with photos, as well as the clear breakdown of the day’s plans and activities. Her communication, transparency, and genuine care give me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a childminder who truly cares for your children and keeps you fully informed, I would highly recommend Gail.
I wanted to expand on my previous review as now I have 2 more children in Katie's capable and caring hands! I wouldn't want anyone else to care for my children. Katie makes my boys feel like family, as do her own lovely children.
As in my previous review, Katie organises something fun to do with the children everyday as well as educational activities. I always enjoy seeing photos and hearing about what the boys have been up to!
Marya is an amazing childminder and a lovely lady, will always go above and beyond with her care for children. My son absolutely adores her and I couldn’t imagine him being with anyone else. He is so excited to go to Maryas every day! Very flexible and is always willing to help where she can with last minute time changes, she was amazing when I moved house and she had my son all day till we were moved in! Honestly couldn’t recommend a better childminder! Such a loving, kind, caring lady! My son won’t be going anywhere till he starts school for which I will be very sad he’s leaving her when that time comes! Forever grateful for her commitment to my son and her treating him as her own! Amazing lady!

Katie looked after my daughter from 1 year until she started Nursery at 3. She has looked after my son from 4 months until currently (he’s 2 now). I couldn’t recommend Katie more, she has helped me raise my children offering not only an exciting learning environment but with love, kindness and warmth. She plans and varies her days carefully and I love hearing about their adventures. We all adore her.

We were recommended Carole by another child minder from Childcare.co.uk who didn't have availability when we approached them.
Carole from the very first initial contact has been amazing. She is a brilliant communicator, everything is explained which makes us feel at ease leaving our little boy with her.
We were invited to see the premises prior to our little boy starting & her set up is really great, clean, safe and secure. Amazing grounds and play room.
Since starting with Carole in the new year, our little boy has literally thrived. He gets so excited when he recognises the property & literally beams upon Carole answering the front door (which is a great indication that Carole does a fantastic job of looking after and nurturing our boy). Carole is always happy to see our little boy & shows amazing compassion and care towards him.
Communication remains really good, we always get a handover at the end of the day & if there's anything else we get contacted through WhatsApp.
Thank you Carole!

I met Shelley Shorties during a delicated time and I always say that she was an answer to my prayers. When any daycare around could meet my son’s needs, She welcomed him without hesitation and helped me to get all the support he needed, not only whilst he was at her setting but until she was sure he would get a place at school. Shelley, I can only express my deep gratitude for welcoming and caring so well for our children as if they were your own, for giving mothers a voice when needed and fighting for their children rights. To all the Shelley Shorties Staff: thank you for always being so supportive and professional , specially for always putting our kids safety first. I always recommend you to any friend or relatives because your job is not excellent, but also absolutely necessary☺️.
Pika has been an exceptional nanny for our family. She has cared for my youngest since she was six months old, and she is now nearly two, as well as looking after my eldest. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly attentive, calm, and deeply caring.
She goes above and beyond in ways that make a real difference to our daily life, from preparing lovely, thoughtful meals to creating a warm, secure environment for the girls. They absolutely adore her, and it’s clear how safe and happy they feel in her care.
Pika is professional, reliable, kind, and genuinely invested in the children she looks after. Anyone who has her will be incredibly lucky. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Ayodele was completely brilliant with our 14-month-old. He's not usually comfortable around new people, so we were amazed at how quickly he warmed to her. She was caring and attentive, and it showed in how she handled him from the start.
She gave him time to settle in on his first day, which made such a difference.
She kept us updated on his daily activities throughout, and it was reassuring to see him play in her different settings and also have naps. I was confident that my little one was being cared for and will definitely be using her again without hesitation when the need arises.
We were lucky to find katie back in 2022, for our 8 month old daughter. We looked many settings around but Katie’s setup, attitude, flexibility and outlook suited us the most. Our little one is nearly 4.5 and has grown together with katie’s younger daughter as extended family. There has been days when our daughter has been in for 10 hours and katie has taken excellent care. At end of everyday, the little one has so much to share regarding day’s activities and new things they learned or explored etc. Our daughter is starting school in September 2026 along with few more, which is making some spaces available and i would highly recommend it to anyone in ashvale, Mychett, northcamp and farnborough area.

My daughter has been going for the 6+ months and I'm pleased. Shelley and the team are very caring, attentive and organised when it comes to her needs and wants. I've also noticed such a huge change in my daughter educational learning and communication outside the service which I hold much gratitude.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our child has received over the past few months since starting at Blossoms. Michelle has been incredibly accommodating, especially when it comes to managing our child’s dairy allergy, she goes above and beyond by providing thoughtful, home-cooked meals and snacks that we completely trust.
The setting she provides is amazing, with a warm, welcoming environment and a fantastic range of activities that keep the children engaged and happy. It’s clear how much effort and care she puts into everything she does.
Most importantly, our child absolutely loves Michelle, which says it all. The bond they’ve built is so reassuring, and it’s made a world of difference to us as parents. As a mum returning to work, she made the whole transition feel easy and far less worrying.
We truly can’t thank Michelle enough for everything she’s done so far. We honestly couldn’t imagine sending our child to anyone else.
Bryony is an amazing child minder with a wealth of knowledge in the EYFS framework. My little boy has thrived since coming to Bryony and he is so happy to go each week. She has great communication with us, along with termly meetings and updating us of his next steps. She ensures my little boy attends playgroups, the park, visits to the library and more. She adapts her environment to his needs and has appropriate activities out for him to further develop his skills. I would highly recommend using Bryony as she is friendly, professional, organised & extremely caring.

Having never had a sitter for my son before I was quite nervous, however with Nancy everything was made so smooth and easy. My son who is normally quite shy was very comfortable coming out of his shell and gets very excited for Nancy coming over. Always feel comfortable knowing my son is in safe and reliable hands, couldn’t find a more trusted person to have in my home and to take care of my son.
I was lucky enough to have Krasy look after my two children for over 6 years. My older daughter from when she was 11 months and my younger daughter has known her since she was born. She is everything you could hope for and more - she is SO good with children - SO gentle kind and caring, always took them on fun outings and classes, makes the MOST delicious food (I still miss her bolognaise!) and she truly loved them like her own. She is extremely reliable - always helpful and fitted right into our family. She really is all you would hope for with someone looking after your children and I feel so lucky that we found her. It broke my heart when my youngest went to pre school and so we didn’t need the hours she’d been doing. My daughters adore her and still speak about her most days - she is very very special and you’d be so lucky if she had any time free!
Rebecca was amazing with my son, she made lessons fun, and enjoyable. He enjoyed every lesson, it was great to see a smile on his face, but there was a serious side & importance to teach.
My son improved massively with his reading over 18 months, with Rebecca’s help & way of teaching.
I fully recommend Rebecca. 5 Stars.
Our strong willed 3 year old and teething baby settled just perfectly with Amelia. They obviously had a lot of fun and the 3 year old has already asked when she can come back! I am very happy to recommend and look forward to having Amelia work with us regularly in the future!
100% recommend. Christine, Mikey, Dan and the family become our family. She looked after my daughter like she was one of her own. She always went above and beyond to meet any needs that cropped up. My daughter loved her 3 years with Christine. If she was closer she would have stayed with her till she was 18. We still talk and meet up on a regular basis. We miss them everyday! Diolch yn fawr!
If I could give Kerryanne and the team infinite stars I would.
Our daughter Saoirse was with Kerryanne for around 2 years and we just loved her so much. We unfortunately moved quite far away and I got a new job which was the only reason we had to move our daughter, but every single day I miss them so much. I cannot begin to put into words how considerate, caring and amazing Kerryanne and her team are. They cater for every single child and what I admired about them most is how they made our daughters confident and strong personality shine, Saoirse to this day has learnt so much from being with them, all of the children there were fantastic and very nurturing to our daughter, I believe the different age ranges is so beautiful as they all learn from each other. I would never EVER feel nervous or anxious when our daughter was with Kerryanne, if I'm honest I would call her a second mummy. The environment is perfect for the children and is like a home from home, which we loved. There was a sleep room with prams, cots, you name it, however your child needs to sleep they have it covered, it was so calming and peaceful. We got regular updates throughout the day, always. From every meal our daughter ate ( which were such healthy and hearty meals, I used to make it myself but she wouldn't eat it only Kerryanne's cooking worked😂) , to new milestones hit, to achievements and so much more. It would make my day to receive photos and videos of our daughter and there was never a day she was not happy there, if anything it was a struggle to get her home because she never wanted to leave, she loved it so much. The thought and details that Kerryanne puts into her curriculum is phenomenal. She never forgets a special occasion, not even your birthday! She will always go above and beyond for you and your family. I remember we had such a beautiful personalised calendar made by our daughter as a new years gift it actually made me cry.
Me and my partner felt we could go to Kerryanne for anything, her advice and words of wisdom was so comforting, she would always reply even late at night bless her when she can shut off from work. When we left Kerryanne it was never goodbye as she still keeps in touch about Saoirse's development, even to this day, always checking in and I will always go to her for advice and reassurance as I was super nervous to put our daughter anywhere else. The team absolutely loved Saoirse like she was their own and that really always showed. If I could have even kept her there for her school years I would have!
Every day there just looks so fun and engaging when we used to get updates, there was never a dull moment, our Saoirse always struggled with sitting and was always on the move and what I loved about Kerryanne was her story time always involved the children and would always incorporate movement and dancing, which is what our Saoirse loves. On her very first day she did a beautiful welcoming song with the children for her and Saoirse just slot right in to the group, as I imagine every child they have ever cared for has done. The family are incredible and your children are such a credit to you both, they always got involved and loved the children too.
Kerryanne's knowledge with children is incredible, she will always offer guidance, she will never push you into anything you don't want to do, she was just simply the perfect childminder there ever could be and we often think about moving back to Luton just for her. You won't find anyone who will care for your child/children as much as Kerryanne, her family and the team. They really do become your family ❤️ thank you for everything Kerryanne. You deserve a medal and more x
