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.
I have used Ruth for nearly a year now, she is the most kind hearted wonderful childminder. Her childminding space is so spacious with a great outdoors area. My daughter is constantly telling me stories of play or places that have visited, the dog walks they have done, the snacks they have had! Ruth really does a wonderful job and is always so caring towards myself and my daughter. Ruth always communicates with me whenever needed and goes above and beyond with meeting my needs.
Margaret has been such a lovely childminder to my daughter. Although we weren’t able to proceed with her services since my daughter’s really having separation anxiety with me, she has been very caring to her and playful while trying to get my daughter to have fun with her and to trust her. Due to some unfortunate circumstances in my situation, I had to cancel her services which has nothing to do with her at all. I’m sure she would have been a lovely carer to my daughter and if I’d be given another chance in the future when I’m able to fix issues in my current situation, I do hope she’d still accept us and be able to take care of my daughter. Thank you so much, Margaret for all the efforts and for understanding.
My first experience of having a childminder was not great at all so I was very wary when finding a new childminder. Luckily for us we found Amanda who has been absolutely amazing for my son. My son started with Amanda in June 2024 when he was 2 years old and I have never felt safer leaving my son with someone who is not family. My son was diagnosed with Autism in January 2025 and Amanda's support through this process was exceptional, she was the first person we called when we got the diagnosis! I cannot express how grateful we are for all the support Amanda has provided to our son because I know it hasn't been easy due to his needs but she has accommodated him in every way and provided soo much support to us throughout this journey as well as our son. The care she provides to all of her children and the daily updates ensures me my child is in the best hands he can be. My son starts school in September and I dread not having that feeling knowing he's 100% safe and being informed and up to date on what he is doing on a daily basis. As a family we cannot recommend Amanda enough and will miss her no longer being a part of our family.
Sue has babysat for our children several times, both on her own and as part of larger groups with multiple children ranging from 1-8 and we have always felt they were in very safe hands. She is responsible and thoughtful, asking all the right questions and making sure she understands every detail. She has a wonderful way with very different personalities, equally able to engage our chatty daughter and connect calmly with our more reserved son, both of whom are relaxed and happy in her company. She is warm, conscientious, and completely trustworthy, and we would recommend her wholeheartedly to any (lucky!) family.

Sue has looked after my kids (12, 10 & 18 months) multiple times over the last few years and the eldest two always ask when she’ll be back again! Completely trustworthy and always feel comfortable leaving the children with her knowing their needs will be met and should the worst happen she has ample experience to handle any issues that might come her way. Cannot recommend her services highly enough and she always goes above and beyond.
I was so nervous about leaving my son who had never previously been watched by anyone else, before he started with Lyndsey at 12 months old.
I shouldn't have worried as he took to her right away, and I felt like Lyndsey treated him like one of the family.
They also went out for fresh air most days, going on walks and to the park which is a huge plus over a nursery environment.
My 2 and 6 year old adore Hayley. Her experience being a manager of a pre school means she is fantastic at playing with them and managing their behaviour. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. She was recommended to us by a number of friends and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.

I am delighted to recommend Luzita, she is wonderful and a very important figure in our family life! Luzita has looked after both our children for three and a half years, since they were each 1 year old (they are currently 4.5 and 2.5). They run in, laughing, in the morning and they are happy and in a good mood in the evening and full of stories about their day. Luzita is very caring and my son says ‘Luzita will know what to do’ if his little sister is crying. I have noticed over the years that Luzita teaches the children in her setting to be respectful and caring towards each other, they always know how to share and look after each other. She works on their Early Years curriculum and is great at developing their skills according to each child’s needs. She is helping prepare my son to start school and he always comes home with some new information to impart to me about what he expects from school. They laugh a lot and enjoy their time at Luzita’s and I am delighted that they are happy and well looked after.

Used Sofan's childcare service and I'll recommend it to anyone, the setting is child friendly, educating and very secure my son was always looking forward to going there, he was well settled there and enjoyed every bits of it. Sofan's very tolerate, humble and communicate effectively with parents and as well with the children.

I have my 1 year old being looked after by Terri and the team and I must say it’s so nice not having to worry about how my little girl is throughout the day. They send regular updates via a WhatsApp chat set up between us and them and ensure we are kept in the loop as to what’s happening day to day. Was really anxious about sending my girl to a childminder so young but now I have no worries whatsoever.
Bharti was an amazing childminder to our daughter from the day she joined at 20 months old until we had to relocate two years later. Our daughter settled in from day one and was excited to go to Bharti’s house every morning. They attended two playgroups every week and enjoyed outdoor activities in the neighborhood parks, the library, and the soft-play center. Bharti’s home setting is very child-friendly, with plenty of toys and a spacious garden where they played during the summer.
The children engaged in a lot of creative play, which really helped with our daughter’s creativity, confidence, and conversational skills. The food was nutritious, and she loved every bit of it. Bharti communicated with us openly and honestly and was very committed to working with us on our daughter’s development journey. In every sense, our daughter thrived, and she made happy memories with her friends. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Bharti and we genuinely missed her after we relocated. We would happily recommend Bharti to anyone looking for childcare.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Beverley provides for our daughter. She truly treats her like one of her own and has created such a warm, nurturing “home from home” environment. Through a wonderful mix of creative activities, outdoor play, soft play trips and imaginative learning, she has helped develop our daughter’s confidence, communication, social skills and physical development enormously. It’s clear how much thought, care and dedication Beverley puts into supporting every child’s growth, independence and happiness, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
I have three children and have had different experiences of childcare. Katie looked after my third child. She has been amazing. My daughter settled very quickly and it has been my best experience of a settling in period.
She adores Katie and kept asking if she could go to her house on days she wasn’t due to go. Katie would do lovely activities such as baking, trips to welly park and garden centres. My daughter would come home with baked goods or art activities that she had created. Katie always kept me updated with lots of pictures. Her home is great for kids and she makes her own healthy meals. Katie is very warm, nurturing, patient and fun and I can see why my child wanted to go to her house all the time. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a home away from home for their child.
My daughter who is 2 has been going to Georgia since 7 months old. Daughter is very happy in setting and does a range of activities. flexible when I need the occasional extended day (or when I was on jury service and needed my daughter to start a little earlier for a couple of weeks). Georgia will give advice and things to try if you have struggles with anything.
Little giggles is an exceptionally warm and friendly place and has been the perfect setting for my daughter. The ladies have worked hard to help settle my daughter into the setting and now she smiles when she goes in and is happy to spend time there. The communication is excellent, with regular updates throughout the day so i can feel at ease knowing she is having a nice time - they handle anxious mums very well! My little one has come on so much since starting here, being supported to explore, learn and make friends. I would recommend this setting to anyone who is looking for a childminders!

When I was looking for a childminder for my daughter (3 months old at the time), I was incredibly anxious about finding someone that I could trust to take care of her the way that she deserved. My first child had never been in childcare and I felt overwhelmed with options/ decisions.
From my first message exchange with Lisa she put me completely at ease and invited me to come and visit her setting with my baby. As soon as we walked in we were greeted my the most friendly and sociable group of little people who proudly showed off their beautiful playroom and resources. Lisa was warm, friendly and I loved the way that she interacted with her little gang.
After our first meeting I knew that she was the only person that I wanted to look after my little girl.
Fast forward 3 years and I can hand on heart say that choosing Lisa was the best decision I ever made. My daughter is absolutely thriving in her care and adores her time at Lisa’s. The opportunities that she provides are endless and her children are constantly learning through play. The children are provided with the most amazing experiences and are regularly out and about in the local community.
Lisa communicates daily and I look forward every afternoon to seeing all the photos on the baby days app.
I have made the decision not to send my daughter to preschool and instead keep her with Lisa, as she is developing and learning all the time. I know without a doubt that Lisa will ensure that she is ready for school and is already implementing things to ensure that this is the case.
All in all I couldn’t recommend anyone better to look after your little one. Lisa is just the most amazing, fantastic, caring and loving person and this is reflected not only in her setting, but in the time and effort that she puts into her planning, preparation, activities and days out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone, she is quite simply the best and become a very important person in my daughter’s life.
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. From the very beginning, Lisa made our child feel completely safe and happy, she truly is a home from home. The care, patience and genuine affection she shows every child is amazing and you can see how much she cares about their development and wellbeing.
Our child has grown so much in confidence, learning and social skills since being with her and every day is filled with fun activities, creativity and warmth. Her communication is always fantastic and we have total peace of mind knowing our child is in such caring hands.
We would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a fun, trustworthy and exceptional childminder.
