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 am so grateful for the amazing care my son receives. Mandy is kind, patient and truly cares about the children she looks after. She always keeps me updated throughout the day, which gives me so much peace of mind.
My son is always happy, well-fed and well cared for, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and safe. I really appreciate all the love and attention she gives him. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder.
Mai had full care of our 9 month old for 6 weeks when we needed short-term help - she was very friendly and our child warmed to her quickly. Key responsibilities included - organising activities locally and at home, changing nappies, feeding (milk and solids) and putting our child down for naps. She was proactive in finding local playgroups and activities and organised lots of different things for our child to do in the day. She also prepared homemade snacks and meals and knew how to feed our child in an appropriate way for his age group. From a practical perspective, Mai was great at communicating with us with what she had planned for Finely in good time.
Victor has been going to Jackie since last May, and I’ve seen such a big development in him. He can now count, recognise colours, shapes and even uses new words he’s learned while being there.
His speech has really developed for a two-year-old, and he’s becoming quite the little chatterbox. When I pick him up, he loves telling me about everything he’s been doing during the day. He’s also learned things like eating independently, which has been wonderful to see.
Victor is always happy to go and is very well looked after. He enjoys spending time with the other children, and the facilities are fantastic with lots of toys, activities, and a lovely garden to explore.
Jackie clearly puts a lot of care and attention into what she does, and I’m very grateful. Victor absolutely loves her — on the days he’s not there, he often asks if we can go to Jackie’s house.
Our childminder has been amazing. Milo has been with her since he was just 4 months old, and she has always provided such a caring, safe and nurturing environment for him.
She has played such an important role in his early years and it has been lovely to see the bond they have built. Milo absolutely loves going there and always feels happy and comfortable in her care.
Even now that he is at school, he still attends during the school holidays, which really shows how much he enjoys being there. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing he is somewhere he feels secure, cared for
I’m so grateful for everything she has done for Milo and our family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and dedicated childminder.
Lisa was brilliant when communicating and arranging. She seemed really keen and understanding when she came to our home and met us all as a family, got on really well with the kids and was great asking details about anything they particularly like etc.
Then on the day of first actual job where we were due to go out and leave Lisa with the children she didn't show up with zero communication and nothing since.
We honestly feel so lucky to have found Bella. Our daughter started with her at 8 months old, and she loved it from day one, which made such a difference to us as first-time parents. Dropping her off knowing she was happy and settled gave us so much peace of mind.
She's built such a special bond with Bella over this time. Bella has always cared for her in a way that feels so genuine. She's also been an amazing support to us, helping us go through those early years of parenthood with reassurance, warmth and great advice.
The rest of the team are just as lovely and have formed wonderful relationships with our daughter too. She's made great friendships with the other children, and because it's a small group, it really feels like one big family. Every child is truly known and cared for.
And we can't not mention the food! The delicious homemade meals are a huge bonus! Our daughter absolutely loved them (she's become a little pasta and lasagna expert!), and is such a comfort knowing she was eating such fresh, wholesome food every day.
We couldn't recommend Bella more. She has been such an important part of our daughter's early years, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she's done for her.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Zee highly enough as a childminder.
My daughter has just finished with her as she is starting full-time nursery, and I can genuinely say she has had the most positive experience. From day one, she felt settled, safe and happy, which gave me complete peace of mind as a parent.
The care, attention and support she provides is outstanding. My daughter has grown so much in confidence and independence during her time there, and she has learned so many valuable skills that have prepared her perfectly for nursery.
Communication has always been excellent, and it’s clear how much she truly cares about the children she looks after. The environment is warm, welcoming and structured in a way that helps children thrive.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, nurturing and professional, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Thank you for everything — we will always be so grateful 🤍
My daughter attended Syeda’s setting 3 days per week from 12 months to almost 2.5 - we plan to still visit for the occasional day while taking up a place at nursery.
I had a lot of worries about selecting a first childcare setting for my daughter when I went back to work. I chose Syeda after visiting a few options as I appreciated the familiar, homey setting, the commitment to going outside everyday rain or shine, and the excellent ratio of staff to children.
My daughter quickly developed a real bond with Syeda and her team members especially Liuba. She has enjoyed lots of craft activities, music, and daily expeditions to the park, children’s centre, library and museum.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Syeda and her team. She is warm, professional, communicates well and genuinely cares about all of the children in her setting. My daughter was always excited to go to her house and see her friends - at the weekend she would ask when she could go back, and I can’t think of any higher testimony.

My family and I cannot thank Tess enough for all of her love, care and support over the past 3+ years. She joined to help with our son just before he turned one in 2022 and worked with us up until two weeks ago when we relocated to California. She was quite literally a god send and I have no idea how we would have managed our busy work and home lives without her!
Tess supported our son through various "firsts" including starting nursery, preschool and becoming a big brother with such love and genuine care. She also supported my husband and I with house moves, birthdays, holidays, planning for our relocation, the arrival of our new baby and so much more. We will be forever grateful to Tess and it goes without saying anyone who has the opportunity to involve her with their child or children will be very very lucky!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing childminder as Anna. From the very beginning, she created a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where our child feels completely at home. Her patience, kindness, and genuine care truly shine through in everything she does. Our little girl has grown so much in confidence and social skills, and it’s clear how much effort goes into planning fun and educational activities. She always keeps us informed about everything our child is doing. We absolutely recommend Anna as the best childminder!

We’ve been so lucky to have Aoife as our nanny for the past nine years. She has looked after our three children — now 10, 7 and 4 — since they were babies, and she has been such a constant, loving presence in their lives.
She’s warm, calm and patient, but also great fun and full of energy. Our children all adore her, and we’ve always felt completely confident knowing they were in such safe and caring hands.
She’s reliable, organised and always goes the extra mile to make life easier for all of us. We are only regrettably saying goodbye because we’re moving away. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

Gem has looked after our eldest daughter for a good few years now and we have only positive praise for her! She is great with kids of all ages (also recently looking after our 9 month old) and quickly built a rapport with our daughter who is very shy. Her kind and caring nature make her a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her!
Sumayya is truly everything we could hope for to care for our son Sacha.
He is now 18 months old and has been in Sumayya's brilliant home nursery since he turned one.
He is excited to go to her with smiles and wide arms in the morning and he leaves grinning and giggling in the afternoons.
Communication about the day is excellent.
The resources, meals and activities are varied and impressive.
The environment is welcoming, safe and nurturing.
We could not be happier with the care received.
He struggled to transition out of being in only my care initially, and the patience, kindness and gentle persistence shown by Sumayya was so deeply reassuring.
We are so grateful for the socialisation Sacha is receiving in such a personal and supportive setting.
I would confidently recommend her without any hesitation.

Sarah and Andy are taking care of my 2 years and 7 months old son since November 2024 and we see them both as part of our family because of the all the pure love and good care they offered to my son every day since. My husband and I fully trust Sarah and Andy when our son is under their care and we absolutely love all of the educational activities they do together every week, including arts and crafts on special occasions, like Christmas for example. Our son comes home super happy all the time, he is always well fed too. There are times at the weekend when he is even asking to go Sarah and Andy because he misses them and mentions that Andy plays football with him in the garden and that they sing songs and have fun. On ad hoc bases at bedtime he will again mention Sarah saying “Sarah again mummy?” And when I say “yes baby tomorrow” he will put a big smile on saying “yay!” and then he starts a song they sang recently. Words can’t explain my appreciation and respect for Sarah and Andy. All I can say is that both are super professional and that they both do an amazing job taking care of my son and that I am very grateful for this. Thank you both, we are lucky to have you in our lives. Loads of love xxx
I am grateful to have found Jackie and would highly recommend her setting. My daughter, now nearly two and a half, has attended since 18 months.
As a first‑time mum looking for flexible childcare in a newly-established setting, I was initially anxious.
From the first visit Jackie’s experience, calm manner, and warmth reassured me. The environment is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully organised, with a wide range of accessible toys, activities, and outdoor space that promote independence and engagement.
Policies were clearly explained, and the settling‑in process was supportive and flexible. My daughter quickly formed a strong bond with Jackie and, over time, has developed lovely friendships with the other children. Jackie skilfully guides interactions in a kind and fair way.
Activities are always fun but also purposeful, linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. I’ve appreciated the monthly themes, and especially the daily updates and photos. My daughter looks forward to attending and always comes home happy, energised, and full of stories. Her social and language skills have grown significantly, and Jackie has been a reassuring source of advice on day‑to‑day challenges.

My little boy has been going to Leanne’s since he was 9 months old up until he starts pre school. He has loved every minute! They do such a variety of activities throughout the week, which Leanne manages to combine with lots of learning. I would highly recommend Leanne & her childcare setting.
