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.
We have been with Zi for almost a year, my child has grown so much and learnt to much. Zi has had so many activities for the children, from book authors, to visits from people in the emergency services, musicians to even Santa! Zi and her assistant Audrey have really supported my child to learn English as we speak a different language at home and she comes home now singing all the English songs and saying "tidy up". My child will be turning 2 in a few months and has benefitted from being in A2Zi childcare.
Zi has also supported me and my shift timetables, she has been flexible and always provided good communication.
I was introduced to Zafreen through my sister during an emergency situation when our previous childminder had to take unexpected leave for the foreseeable future. From the very beginning, Zafreen went above and beyond to accommodate both mine and Hyra’s needs. She invested so much time, care, and effort into helping Hyra feel comfortable, settled, and secure in her setting.
What stands out most about Zafreen is how genuinely caring, warm, and thoughtful she is. She always puts the children’s happiness, comfort, and wellbeing first, and it shows in everything she does. She took the time to build a relationship with Hyra at her own pace, ensuring she felt safe and valued, and the bond they’ve developed is incredible.
Hyra absolutely adores going to Zafreen’s house and is constantly asking to visit, even on weekends and days off. As a parent, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is so happy, loved, and well cared for when they’re away from you.
Zafreen has been nothing short of amazing, and we are so grateful to have found her. Because of the wonderful experience we’ve had with Hyra, we’re now hoping to enrol our one-year-old son as well, as we have no doubt he will thrive in her care too.
I couldn’t recommend Zafreen highly enough.

What i loved most about Rebecca's approach and services is the genuine love and care you see in her interactions. This and how active she is with the children ensuring they experience regular days out. Personally, Rebecca supported my son's development in a multitude of ways. She supported with his speech and language sharing with me skills to strengthen at home. She provided a thorough report which supported access to S&L services and now he doesn't stop talking! Food was a challenging area and again she worked her magic and had him eating meals I didn't even know he knew existed. My son is always happy going and returning from Rebecca's and even now since starting pre school he asks to go to her house.
Zi has both my kids since they were babies

Nozipho has been wonderful with my children. She is caring, patient, and attentive to their needs. My children feel comfortable and happy in her care, and she always communicates well with us as parents. I appreciate her professionalism and dedication, and I would highly recommend her
Have been with A2Zi childcare for 8 years and i have not regretted my child going there. Very friendly, respectful, kind, clean, care. amazing staff and A2zi Loves being in their role. All the children are always happy whenever I’m collecting my child. I was completely impressed with the professionalism and constantly outstanding exceeding my expectations. My child has learnt so much from being. I would definitely recommend this child care
We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter has received from Aimee. We're so sad to be leaving, but unfortunately we're relocating.
From the very beginning, Aimee created a warm, caring and welcoming environment, and our daughter has always been so happy to go to her. Aimee is calm, gentle and genuinely cares about the children she looks after.
Her background as a teacher really shines through in the activities she plans. They're always fun and engaging, but also thoughtfully put together to support the children's learning and development. Since being with Aimee, we've seen our daughter grow in confidence and independence, and her speech has come on so much too.
Communication has always been great. We love reading the daily diary updates and seeing photos of all the things the children have been getting up to throughout the day.
We're incredibly grateful for everything Aimee has done for our daughter and the positive impact she's had on her early years. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families looking for a childminder.

Our son has been coming to Cheryl’s setting since January 24, and he absolutely loves it. She made us feel so at ease and regularly sends pictures and updates of what they get up to. He has come on leaps and bounds since he started and I feel he is more than ready for nursery now! Honestly cannot reccomend her enough, I love that she takes the children out to explore regularly and that he isn’t stuck in 4 walls all of the time. She is friendly and approachable and my son loves her. Will be very sad to go in September!
Gemma has been an absolutely wonderful childminder for my daughter Samaira. She was recommended to us by a friend, and I am so glad to have found her. My older daughter went to another childminder, and I have seen so many older settings, but by far, this was the best I could have found for Samaira.
Gemma has been very supportive through a very difficult phase of our family lives, available at short notice and always offering help where she could, and that means the world to me! Samaira was only 1 when she started, very shy, introvert, couldn't live without mummy, but she very very quickly settled at Gemma's. Gemma's warmth, love, care for the children attracts them to her.
She is always out and about, which I really liked, as my daughter could experience new places - playgrounds, playgroups, soft plays, farms... Gemma always treated Samaira as her own, from personalised bottles, flannel, name card to a personalised leaving gift and note, she always made our daughter feel so loved.
With Gemma, I always knew my daughter was in safe hands, and that was very important for me.
Gemma does embed principles, manners, good habits in her mindees as well, which is rare and very valuable for my daughter.
I can't thank you enough Gemma for being the best childminder for my daughter in her early years where she was absorbing so much around her, she has learnt wonderful things from you, THANK YOU! Wish I found you earlier for my older daughter too.
My son has been with Claire for the past two years, and she has always cared for him with kindness and patience. She creates a warm, safe, and happy environment where children feel comfortable and loved.
As a parent, it gives me great peace of mind knowing my son is so happy in her care. He looks forward to going every day, which says everything about the wonderful relationship she has built with him.
Claire is reliable, caring, and truly dedicated to the children she looks after.
Nikki and Sophie have been amazing since the very first enquiry. Having been recommended by a friend and colleague whose daughter is the same age I knew it would be a good experience.
They both did all they could to ensure my daughter (and me) felt calm and comfortable from the first settling in session. Now nearly 18 months on, I can’t imagine leaving my daughter with anyone else. I trust them completely and she totally loves them, she is clearly so happy and exciting to spend her days there.
Both Nikki and Sophie have been so supportive of me as a single parent, and helping navigate eating and sleeping challenges and now - toilet training!
I love the fact they spend so much time outside and do a range of activities too, this on top of being a small group, for me, means it surpasses a nursery setting hands down.
They are so encouraging of all aspects of my daughter’s development, and are not shy of telling me when she has been less than angelic! Managing tricky toddler behaviour in a kind yet firm and educational way. Helping our tiny humans learn to manage their feelings and behaviour. It has been so helpful to discuss these, thankfully minor and rare, incidents honestly and ensure we are on the same page.
I have no doubt my daughter will continue to flourish in their care.
Juliette has been looking after the twins since they were 10 months old, they are now 26 months old and absolutely love Juliette.
Juliette has a very warm and natural way with children and is also a very professional child minder. Her communication is excellent and her easy manner makes you feel like nothing is too much trouble. We love that each week Juliette does a number of amazing activities with the children, and frequently takes them out to parks, playgrounds, libraries and soft plays. She clearly puts a lot of effort into thinking about what the children will enjoy doing and what is educational and will help their development.
The children's meals are all freshly prepared by Juliette and well thought through, and the twins have always eaten well whilst in her setting.
We feel very lucky to have found Juliette our children are so happy in her care, they talk about her daily and she is basically their second Mum!
I would highly recommend Juliette's childminding services to anyone.
Ozzie worked with our family for around 1.5 years, primarily caring for our daughter from the age of one. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and immediately formed a strong bond with her. She has a natural way with children and is genuinely attentive to their needs and development. Our little one absolutely loved spending time with her, and it was clear that Ozzie provided not just care, but real affection and emotional security.
Although she was employed for our toddler, she is equally confident and capable with children of all ages. She is thoughtful, reliable, and also happy to help out with light household tasks, which made day-to-day life much easier for us.
We always felt reassured knowing our child was in her care. We would highly recommend Ozzie to any family looking for a caring and dependable nanny.

My oldest son has been with Andrea since 2022 and I was relieved she had availability to look after my second child when he came along.
Andrea is utterly outstanding! She has such a lovely bond with both my boys, has helped with potty training (twice!), prepared our eldest for school and provided a loving setting for them to be during the day.
The boys look forward to going to Andreas, and are always raving about how delicious her food is. She manages to cook homemade meals every day, they absolutely love it.
Andrea gets the kids out to local toddler clubs and playdates, and does all sorts of arts and crafts with them at home.
Although our eldest is at school now we know how happy he is at Andreas we've kept him with her before and after school.
I can't recommend Andrea highly enough, she's helped us navigate through more challenging periods and is always there to offer advice when asked.
Every day at pick up Andrea gives a run down of the day, but is also mindful of the boys feelings so will be discreet if it could cause upset, she just knows best.
She genuinely feels like an extension to our family!
Caterina joined us when our daughter was just 6 months old, doing 3 mornings a week, and in the 7 months since, she has been a fantastic support.
What stands out most is her genuine care and dedication. This isn’t someone who just goes through the motions, you can see, in every interaction, that she truly loves being with our daughter. The way our daughter’s face lights up the moment she sees her says more than any review could!
She is very reliable and proactive, she brings energy and creativity to each day, and it shows in how happy our daughter is in her care.
Most importantly, we know our child is in safe, loving and capable hands when she is with her.
Seven months in and we feel very lucky to have found her 😊

We’ve been using Monika as our regular evening babysitter for almost a year now, and she’s been absolutely fantastic. She’s always reliable, trustworthy, flexible when we need her, and her communication is excellent, which gives us real peace of mind. She has always managed to settle our toddler back to sleep perfectly if they wake during the night, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monika to other parents, and we’re really looking forward to seeing her spend even more time with our toddler as we get the chance.
We honestly could not recommend Carol and Billy more! Our twins have been with them for the past 3 years, and it has been an absolutely amazing experience.
From day one, they have been completely reliable and provided fantastic communication so we always knew exactly what our little ones were up to. They offer such a caring environment, and the children have absolutely loved being there. The kids have always been wonderfully cared for and engaged in creative, appropriate activities that actively supported their developmental milestones.
Carol and Billy go above and beyond—they have truly become a part of our family. Thank you so much for everything you do!

My son has been with Victoria since April with a few sessions from January and he loves going to see her. Her family are very welcoming and the set up is perfect for him. He enjoys playing outside and having after nap snuggles. Victoria always updates us on their daily activities and keeps us informed. She is also very accommodating to my last minute requests! Very much appreciated and will always highly recommend :)
Our son has been with Chloe from the age of one to three and a half, and we simply could not be happier that we came across Chloe all those years ago. She is kind, patient, flexible and understanding, as well as being an excellent communicator with parents. Most importantly, of course, she is an incredibly skilled, creative and dedicated childcare provider, and has helped shape the development of our son in such a positive manner, aligning perfectly with what we have also tried to do at home. We are now leaving London, but leave Chloe with a heavy heart and nothing but thanks for the past 2-3 years. Highly, highly recommend!
