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.
Jennie is professional and builds a safe environment for all children in her care. She keeps me updated with any changes to her child care setting and with my child. My child loves being with her and enjoys all activities set and playing with all the children there well done and thank you
Kellie is definitely an absolute gem, our son has been going to Kellie's Tiney Nursery since he was 10 months old and he has been loving it. Kellie has pets, including cats, a dog and rabbits, which our boy loves playing with. There is a lovely outdoors area for the kids to play in, and they do so many activities at the setting and out.
We get to see what they have been up to on a very handy app, including many photos too.
Would definitely recommend Kellie to anyone looking for an amazing childminder!

We were incredibly grateful to Lana for stepping in at the very last minute after our previous nanny let us down for a night shift. From the moment she arrived, she was calm, professional, and reassuring, which immediately put us at ease.
Lana handled everything with confidence and care, ensuring our child was comfortable and well looked after throughout the night. It’s never easy to trust someone new on short notice, but she exceeded our expectations and made a stressful situation feel completely manageable.
We truly appreciate her reliability and willingness to help on such short notice. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lana to anyone in need of a dependable and caring nanny.

We’re so grateful for the care our daughter Sienna received over the years. She was always happy, well looked after, and excited to go each day.
The environment was warm and nurturing, with plenty of fun and engaging activities that really supported her development. Communication was great, and we always felt reassured she was in safe hands.
We would highly recommend to any parent looking for a kind and reliable childminder.❤️❤️

Olga was the first Nanny who took care of my baby. The first time my baby saw her it was an instant connection. She’s like a baby whisperer. From the day that she started up to now she never failed with the quality of caring I am unable to provide to my child when I’m busy working. I am very happy to see my baby always enjoys to be with her, play with her and hangout with her. I trust her with my baby. She is very knowledgeable with what food to make/prepare for my baby, also playing with my baby all day, making my baby sleep easily, feeding her, bathing her. She also helps out in cleaning sometimes which to be honest is not part of her responsibilities but Olga is such a blessing to us. My family are very grateful to you, Olga and thank you for taking care of my baby!!!! ❤️
My son has been at Tambies for 18 months, the whole Tambie family have taken my son in as one of their own, when we arrive at Tambies, my son is over the moon to go and play. We get regular photo’s sent over a private chat between me, my partner and Jo of what my son gets up to throughout the day. Overall I couldn’t ask for much more from a childminder!
My daughter has been with Nicola and Colin, starting with settling in sessions at 6 months and is still with them now at 2 and a half. Our son will start with them next year as well, we made sure of that! They have been absolutely brilliant and I would highly recommend them both. Our daughter loves going each day and has learnt so much with them. They take the children on lots of outings (playgroups, soft play, parks etc.) , as well as having a superb set up at home, shown by the daily updates we get.
If you are looking for an excellent setting for your child, you have found it 😀

I was really apprehensive going back to work and leaving my little girl with someone outside of the family, but I really shouldn’t have worried as Tasha has been absolutely fantastic from day 1. Tasha always has a smile on her face, where her friendly and welcoming nature is infectious! My little girl always seems to enjoy herself during her days with Tasha, where they regularly go to playgroups, the library and soft play. Tasha has nailed our little girls routine too, so we are always reassured that she’s being well looked after and given her naps/food at the proper times. All communication is clear and prompt, where we love receiving updates from Tasha on how our little girl has been that day. Tasha is really flexible, so when we had to change days a few months in, there were no issues and the transition was seamless. My little girl is obsessed with Tasha’s cavapoo, Cadi, where any/all dogs we come across now are called Cadi in her excitement (baring in mind that we have no pets at home, so it just goes to show how well socialised Cadi is and how well Tasha manages her dog in her setting).
I feel very lucky that our little girl is in such safe hands with Tasha, as the title of the review says, she is simply fabulous 🥰
Ewa’s childminding service is amazing, and I would highly recommend, we’ve only been with her a short amount of times far but the time we’ve had with her has been truly outstanding, professional and warm and welcoming. Ewa has a very caring nature and is super understanding and hardworking. I was very nervous how my son (12months at the time) would settle after have a year at home with him, he did struggle in the beginning but would he come out with smiles and had a great time. She also looked out for the parents the first few weeks sending us a quick update during the day to reassure us he was doing absolutely fine.
Since he’s settled he is thriving he’s currently 15months soon to be 16 and is progressing so well. He’s really come out of his shell and having the mixed age group of children has been lovely to see as they all help one another. Although he’s not talking properly yet he’s so much more vocal and trying to say words more, he loves attending now and even waits by the door in the morning ready to go.
They do a range of activities everyday some planned some free play and it’s all recorded in a little diary that’s sent home along with photos at the end of your child’s week to see what they get up to. It’s lovely to see and no matter the age every child is included in an age appropriate way so no child is left out of activities. There is so many toys to choose from my son loves seeing all the different toys he can play with and it makes learning fun. It’s a great safe and fun environment with lots to do.
My son also has a milk and egg allergy and has been great at accommodating and making sure there is no cross contamination between the children which makes me feel so much better.
I can’t wait to see what’s next in store for our son over the next few months and to see how he learns and develops. I think he will do amazing with Ewa. I’m so thankful we chose Ewa she has been the right fit for our son and we couldn’t imagine him being any where else. He loves it there.

Sandra is an excellent French tutor who has really helped our year 8 son build both confidence and consistency. Her lessons are very well structured, which makes it much easier to understand and retain new language.
She explains things clearly and uses a mix of speaking, listening and practical activities so that learning feels natural rather than overwhelming. There is a strong focus on actually using the language, which has made a big difference in confidence when speaking.
She is also very supportive and encouraging, while still maintaining high standards. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for serious progress in French.
We have had a great experience with Tasha! She is really warm and attentive to all of the children in her care. She manages our daughters dietary requirements carefully, which has given us real peace of mind. Communication with Tasha is quick and easy. My daughter really enjoys chatting to Tasha and playing with the other children. Tasha regularly sets up fun activities for the children, such as crafts, and also takes them to the park when the weather is nice. My daughter has made lots of friends in her care. I would really recommend her to families looking to find a warm, reliable and supportive childminder!
My son has been at Tambies Rising Stars for a year and a half and every aspect of their childcare has exceeded our expectations. Tambies is an incredible environment and our son is thriving with his development, we couldn’t be happier and would recommend to anyone! This setting really is a home away from home for our little boy since he was 10 months old. Our now 2 year old wakes up excited every morning to go to Jojo’s and always walks in with a huge smile on his face.
Pilly runs an outstanding childminding service. From the start her communication has been brilliant, I get pictures and videos throughout the day of the activity’s my children are doing, the food they are eating and even letting me know what time they nap and wake up. Pilly has so much passion and energy for looking after the children, she teaches them so much. Pilly has become family, my children even ask to go and see her on the weekends, I know and trust that my daughters are well looked after in Pilly’s home. Pilly cooks healthy and nutritious food and offers fruit and vegetables throughout the day. There is a big garden for the children to play in and lots of educational toys. The other children that attended Pilly’s setting are now my daughters good friends. Pilly’s setting is also very flexiable, when I have needed childcare at sort notice, often Pilly can accommodate which is a great help. I can’t recommend Pilly enough, she is amazing! Xxxx
Clare is wonderful, she offered some settling in sessions and slowly build this up at a pace that was right for us and our little one. Has a great space for play and learning, with great indoor and outdoor areas.
Offers lots of fun activities, including painting, playing, trips to the library and to feed the ducks.
It’s clear that the children in Claire’s are happy and well cared for. She took the time to build a relationship with our little one, learning about her likes and dislikes. Would highly recommend. Thank you Claire xx

I cannot praise Lisa enough! She makes our son feel like he has a home from home. He loves coming to her. Lisa is very supportive and is very knowledgeable. If I have any issues I go straight to her for advice. No day is the same. And what I love is she takes him on experiences whether it is Hilliars, park soft play or the forest he absolutely loves it! She has helped improve all his skills from learning how to write to toilet training. My son is always bringing home lovely art work he has produced whilst with her. If there is ever anything wrong Lisa lets us know right away. She’s easy to communicate with and easy to get hold of. Harry absolutely loves her and her family. We will be sad when he leaves her in September for school.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our childminder and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she created a warm, welcoming environment where our daughter felt comfortable, happy, and truly cared for. It was clear that she treated the children in her care as if they were part of her own family, which meant so much to us as parents.
One of the things we appreciated most was the attention she gave to providing nutritious, homemade meals. Knowing that our daughter was being given healthy, thoughtfully prepared food each day was incredibly reassuring and showed the level of care she puts into every aspect of her work.
She always went above and beyond to make sure our daughter felt included, supported, and engaged in a variety of activities that helped with her development and confidence. It was obvious that she genuinely enjoys what she does and takes great pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment.
As a parent, one of the most important things is peace of mind, and she gave us that completely. Every time I dropped my daughter off, I felt reassured knowing she was in safe, capable, and caring hands.
Her communication was also excellent—always keeping us updated on how our daughter was doing and sharing little moments from the day that meant a lot to us.
We are incredibly grateful for the care, patience, and kindness she showed our daughter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely wonderful childminder.
Aku has been helping us with our twins when we need extra support. She has been amazing dealing with the 2 at the same time, playing with them, feeding them and even putting them to nap. She is kind and patient and does everything with a smile. She definitely is a can-do women. I would recommend her services to anyone needing the help.

Rachel is 1 in a billion. My girls were 6&8 when Rachel came in to their lives and she has been a part of our lives ever since. I honestly can’t rate her highly enough for children of any age. She worked with us for years and the girls flourished under her care. They were constantly excited to be with Rachel and to this day they adore her. Rachel and her family had to move away but our families are still very close. That’s Rachel though. The day she came for her first interview, she was heading up to London after to meet a family she used to work for and remained friends with. I remember thinking how positive that was and now I feel honoured to be another one of the families that get to be Rachel’s friend. Don’t hesitate to hire her. You’ll be very hard pushed to find anyone who comes close.
Fatima has been an absolutely wonderful child carer for our family. She is a kind, trustworthy, and highly professional person who truly cares about the children she looks after. Her home is always clean, cosy, and welcoming, creating a safe and comfortable environment for kids.
She occasionally collected my children after school upon my request and looked after them with great attention and responsibility. I always felt confident that they were in safe hands. Fatima is very polite, patient, and tolerant, which makes a big difference when working with children of different personalities.
Most importantly, my kids genuinely enjoy spending time with her, which says everything. I would highly recommend Fatima to any parent looking for a reliable and caring child carer.
