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 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.
My little one has been with Terri and the other ladies since the beginning of April and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I was very nervous about sending my little one to a childminder as I had no previous experience with using a childminder before. When I first had a look round I fell in love instantly with the space that they offer. Terri, Evie and Leigh was so kind and welcoming when I arrived I just knew it was the right place for my daughter! I could see that my daughter felt comfortable with them straight away and that she really did feel at home there. I wasn’t as nervous when she first started her settling in sessions as I knew the care she was receiving there was at very high level. She loves every minute of attending Little Giggles and I wouldn’t want to send her anywhere else. The communication between Terri and the ladies and us as parents is amazing and we are always getting sent photos of what our daughter gets up to all day which I love! When she first arrives in the morning she always goes to the ladies with no trouble and that makes me so happy as i know she is happy at Little Giggles and that she is always safe and very well looked after! I couldn’t recommend this childminders enough!
Debbie has been taking care of our daughter since she was 8 months old (now 3). Beau was instantly in love with Debbie after her very first taster session, and she has been part of the family ever since.
Communication is always 10/10, Debbie gives ample notice of any changes to routine, and the true proof is in the way all her kids absolutely adore her. We will be so sad when Beau leaves for school!

My baby girl started with Rachel & Anthony when she was just 6 months old. It’s been a beautiful journey watching Jazzys confidence grow with the help of Rachel & Anthony. They’ve done amazing to help my baby girl settle. She’s now 1 & gets very excited when they open the door to her. It was hard as a first time Mum to put trust in somebody especially when my baby is only 6 months old but not only have they helped my baby massively, they’ve also helped my confidence in feeling comfortable leaving her.
Thank you both so much

Jamila is absolutely amazing. She has looked after my son since he was 2 years old, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she has provided. She is caring, patient, trustworthy, and always makes children feel safe and happy. I highly recommend her to any parent.
Marieas has been my son’s childminder, and honestly, I could not recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she has been so attentive, caring, and gentle with my son, making him feel completely comfortable and welcomed in her home. She creates such a warm, family-oriented environment, and her children and grandchildren treat my son like one of their own, which means so much to me as a parent. Her setting is always spotless, organised, and full of love, and she is incredibly active with the children, regularly taking them to parks, play areas, and little outings that my son absolutely loves. He enjoys every second he spends with her and is always asking to go back on the days he doesn’t attend. What I appreciate most is how supportive and communicative she is, always keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day, which gives me so much reassurance and peace of mind. She also supports parents with their child’s development and learning, and during our current potty-training stage, she has been so patient, understanding, and helpful every step of the way. If there are ever any concerns, she communicates them with care and honesty, which I truly value. It is so clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after, and I honestly do not have a single complaint. I feel so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, loving and dedicated childminder.
I have had my baby boy with Reka since he was 11 months old. We had a great collaboration with Reka, I felt safe and comfortable knowing my baby boy was at hers. Reka is a joyful person with a beautiful voice and is disciplined and committed in her role. She is honest, and she cares about the children she has in her care as much for health and safety as for development as well.
I felt lucky to have found her, and I really say a big thanks to her; she made my life easier, and my baby grew healthy and happy with her for one year and half.
