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.
My son joined Jana at the age of 1 year old. Since joining he has a more varied diet which he loves. His speech is improving weekly and he seems very happy throughout the process. He has gained confidence, so I would highly recommended Jana to anyone that asks.
My daughter has been going there for 15 months now and we can’t imagine life without Kelly’s Little Cubs! Everything is amazing my daughter is hitting all targets and everything. The environment / setting is amazing and is set up very well for all ages. Highly recommended. It is literally like a home away from home

Amy has worked for us for four years and has known my youngest since she was born. They have a very special bond, as do we - one that I hope will last far beyond her formal employment with us!
Amy is a wonderful nanny in many ways. Apart from simply loving the company of young children, she is emotionally intelligent - to our needs as parents as well as the kids. She is extremely grounded, resilient, and experienced. She's also open to feedback and communicative which makes having someone in your home much more straightforward! We trust her completely.
I've also not heard of another nanny who has quite as much stamina as Amy. She's often looked after three children at once and spontaneously volunteers to take them all into Central London, drive them to Chessington World of Adventures or just take epic walks around Greenwich - along the river or to the ecology park. Our children are now walkers! She knows the SE like the back of her hand is always out and about.
We'd keep Amy if we could but no longer need a full time nanny. We will miss her enthusiasm and walking in on some wonderful activity she and the kids are finding hysterical - whether it's a curious take on yoga, drawing things to order or some very involved role play. We can't recommend her more highly!

Before Larissa became our daughter childminder we use to go for baby play groups together. I always admired her patience and love for children. Our daughter fell in love with Larissa and we were very lucky that she had space available for us.
From the 1st day our daughter had best time at Larissa’s! Everyday is an adventure! Children play, dance, sing and learn in the same time. Our daughter learned so many new words and new songs. The children at Larissa’s are discovering something new everyday. They are also trying new foods. I can see how my baby girl is developing with Larissa’s help.
As a parents we feel safe and happy that our girl is well looked after and cared for with love.
100% recommended!
Sarah and the team at LC Childminding look after my 18 month old son during the day and my 6 year old son after school most days as well. Both boys love being with Sarah. She feeds them great healthy meals and she has got so many activities going on to stimulate them - both indoors and outdoors, they really do love it there.
Sarah fills me with reassurance throughout the day and is quick to respond to me if I message. She's also on hand to keep them late if I ever get stuck and has been incredibly accommodating in that respect. My littlest seems to have learnt a lot and improved his speech and mobility since being with LC as well. Highly recommend! We will be sticking with her!

Mancy was a regular sitter for our daughter Chloe and was a lifesaver for us at a very busy time in our lives. She was excellent with Chloe - cheerfully and enthusiastically reading and playing with her, and she even helped with meal prep on occasion!
We couldn’t recommend Mancy highly enough!

Ellie was absolutely fantastic with my 13 month old daughter. She was gentle, patient and instantly made her feel comfortable, which gave me complete peace of mind. Ellie kept her entertained, stuck to her routine perfectly and handled everything with so much care. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, kind and genuinely brilliant with little ones. She really cares.
Kim has been caring for my son from 21 months to 3+ y of age. My son has developed from being very shy to a brave and confident child. Kim has supported him in every step and has helped him develop key skills to be able to succeed in preschool (toilet training, eating, communicating effectively, playing, manners, behaviours, understanding the world, reading, writing etc etc etc )
She provides a calm and nurturing environment for children she cares for and my son also benefited from being taken to so may playgroups and activities as well as interacting with Kim’s family.
Everyone in our family absolutely loves Kim and we wish her every success and good health x

I have had the pleasure of observing Kiara working closely with very young children on a daily basis since 2021. Kiara has an exceptional natural rapport with children, and they warm to her immediately. She has a remarkable ability to transition effortlessly from high-energy activities, such as lively dance sessions or spirited games of Duck Duck Goose, to calm, focused moments of story time where the children sit peacefully and stay fully engaged.
Kiara is also fluent in French, which is a wonderful addition to her skill set, as she is experienced in teaching the language to children.
Kiara is consistently trustworthy, responsible, and dependable in every aspect of her work. What truly distinguishes her is her genuine care, patience, and enthusiasm for nurturing and guiding children. She creates a safe, joyful, and nurturing environment that supports children to thrive emotionally and socially.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kiara for any nanny position. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her caring for their children.

What I loved most about Julia was her incredibly gentle and thoughtful approach, especially during the settling-in period. She handled those first days with so much care and attention to both my son’s well-being and mine as a mother. Leaving your child for the first time, especially after a whole year spent together, can be emotional and anxiety-provoking. But Julia made the transition feel safe, natural, and completely respectful of our pace.
My son was always excited to go to her. He loved the activities she prepared every day, from sensory play to stories, outdoor time, and simple creative moments that made him come home happy and fulfilled. Her environment is warm and calm, and she has a lovely garden outside that my son really loved. She communicates kindly and clearly, making parents feel truly included and reassured.
Omar will miss you and Carla very much xx
Kerry has been supporting our son for a number of months now & she’s amazing. He looks forward to the sessions, which are fun, engaging & well structured. Kerry has understood his learning type, what he enjoys to do, what he doesn’t & builds a plan that helps in all areas.
Our childcare experience with Asmeet and Harjinder has so far been great. The place is compact and secure. Asmeet is caring, kind and flexible. We get assured that our baby is in safe hands at the childminder.
Parul worked as an after-school nanny for our family for several months. During this time, she cared for our two children—our 2-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son—and quickly became an invaluable part of our household.
Parul’s responsibilities included preparing meals, collecting the children from nursery and school, feeding them their dinner, tidying the house, assisting with laundry, and helping to get the children ready for bed. She carried out all these duties with the greatest competence, care, and reliability. She always demonstrated initiative in seeking out ways to help us out further; for example, asking where we liked to do our groceries so that she could pick up extra provisions when we ran out.
Even though her time with us was relatively short, Parul immediately felt like part of the family. Our children adored her, and they were always comfortable and happy in her care. She has a quiet, warm presence that brought a sense of calm to our home, and she demonstrated great attentiveness in observing how we liked things done, consistently following our lead and respecting our routines and preferences.
Parul is an incredibly genuine person—she never approached her duties as though they were just a job. It was always clear that her connection with the children came from the heart. Her kindness, sincerity, and natural ability to connect with them made a huge difference in our lives. We were continually impressed by her conscientiousness and the thoughtful care she brought to every aspect of her role. Parul is dependable, devoted, and truly wonderful with children.

She is warm, patient, professional and reliable. To her credit, our son was well settled by the end of the first week and has developed a beautiful bond which he thinks the world of her. As parents, we feel the same and completely trust her, as well as that she genuinely cares about the children in her care and puts in the time to really thoughtfully develop them as little people.
We receive daily updates on their little outings and projects, and feel like we're constantly kept up to date. Sara also has a beautiful home which is kitted out as well as most nurseries. The kids get plenty of fresh air and stimulation and our son is happily fulfilled by Thursday.
We all love Sara to bits and she has been such an important part of my son's early years, I couldn't have wished for better and she has played a huge role in shaping the happy little toddler he is!
We had the privilege of finding some days with Ruby and Ursala. What an amazing setting!
These wonderful two women are committed and lovingly invested in the children they care for. They have made an amazing setting that includes different learning areas for the children. Stella and Lydia were especially excited about the caterpillars turning into butterflies each year!
Ruby and Ursala make sure to think about all the children’s needs and provide everything they need during the time they spend with them. They are also invested in making a safe environment for the children. They make sure to include seasonal learning and dress up for different occasions. Stella has come home talking about her friends and singing songs she has learned. Our girls have had fun playing and learning at Bearsprings. It has been sad to greet Ursala and Ruby after a wonderful season at Bearsprings and Stella has been asking if she can visit making the relationships she made there very evident.
Ruby and Ursala make a wonderful team. Ruby is calm and warm and Ursala is vibrant and fun and together they are the perfect duo.
Thank you Ruby and Ursala you have been a special part of our family’s time in London.

I can’t thank Salomi enough for the incredible care she has given Scarlett. We started in may 25 and have never looked back. In such a short time, Scarlett has come on amazingly — her confidence, her routine, and even the little things she’s learning each day have truly blown me away.
Salomi’s patience, encouragement, and genuine love for what she does shine through in everything. It’s so clear that she cares deeply about Scarlett’s growth and wellbeing, and I appreciate every bit of effort she puts in.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond. Thank you, Salomi, for everything you’re doing — it means the world.
Anne is an outstanding childminder. She goes above and beyond to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for our children, balancing educational activities with enjoyable experiences. Our twins have been with her for over a year, and during that time they’ve enjoyed countless adventures—from walks in the park and trips to the zoo to cozy days at home. We couldn’t be happier with the care and experiences she provides.
Additionally, Anne has been an invaluable source of support to us as a working family managing multiple commitments. Her reliability and dedication are truly commendable.
Anne comes highly recommended, she really is the best in the business!
