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.
Minta has been absolutely wonderful. She is punctualm reliable and very thrustworthy, and I have felt confident knowing my son was in her care after school. She is friendly and responsible and has been a great help to us. I would happily recommend Minta to anyone looking for a dependable and caring babysitter.
From my little boys first visit to Jackie’s he’s loved going, sometimes we’ve struggled to get him to leave! Jackie’s home has always been so welcoming and my little boy is so happy to be there. His speech improved drastically over such a short time which is an absalute credit to Jackie, she’s really helped build his general confidence and social skills. The Tapestry updates are lovely, and she’s only ever a message away for any concerns or advice. My son is so content, comfortable and safe in Jackie’s care, she really looks after them like they’re her own. Looking forward to sending my youngest in a few months time!
I had enquired about availability almost 2 months ago, I was given excuse after excuse, then was told they’re now available and asked if I’m still looking for a space for my child, I then responded yes and they responded by saying they’re no full. Honesty and being direct would of been ideal and saved me a lot of trouble.
Our daughter has been going to Gina’s for 3 years and she loves it. Gina provides a true home from home experience, where she welcomes the children into her family completely. She plans lovely activities each week, including days with other childminders at a local hall meaning the children can experience a larger group as well. Gina provides daily photo updates which our daughter loves looking through and telling us all about her friends and adventures.
From cooking, arts and crafts, sports days, trips to the fire station and visits from children’s entertainers, there is always something fun happening.
In the words of our daughter, “Gina is a star” and we feel so lucky to have her caring for our daughter.
My daughter goes to Stacie 5 days a week during school hours, Stacie accepts the 30 hours free funding and has also babysat for me a couple of times when I've needed her. Going back to work was a worry but Stacie has been amazing, my daughter absolutely adores her. I'm about to have another baby who will also be attending Stacie's setting along with my daughter. I couldn't imagine going to another childminder. If you want someone who will make your baby/Child feel loved, secure and happy then Stacie is your lady! I'm very grateful to have found her on this website.

My daughter absolutely loved it here. The environment is a home away from home, clean and tidy with lovely healthy food available. My daughter looked forward to going here after school which says everything. Hira took time to get to know her and understand her needs, very child focused. Although my daughter hasn’t been diagnosed I suspect she is on the autistic spectrum and had no issues here again because of how Hira takes time to get to know your child and how best to care for them.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a child minder.

My kid started at SpaceHoppers in the summer of 2023 and he is starting school this year. He absolutely loves SpaceHoppers and looks forward to spend time at SpaceHoppers.
It is lovely to see how independent & confident he has become to make choices, solve simple problems and complete tasks independently.
He absolutely loves circle time at SpaceHoppers where each kid is given an opportunity to express their views.
He has been given plenty of opportunities to practise everyday skills such as putting on coats, opening/closing lunch box, putting on shoes, tidying away and washing hands (which he follows at home so well). These experiences support his independence and school readiness.
I strongly recommend SpaceHoppers where kids feel like home and it's a boon to parents
We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder for our daughter. From day one, Krisha made us feel completely reassured and confident that our child is in safe, caring and loving hands. ❤️
Krisha is incredibly kind and patient, and it is clear how much you genuinely care. Our child is always happy to see you at home happy, settled and full of stories about the time that she spent with yog.
Thank you for all the care, support and effort you put into making each day special and my life easy. We truly appreciate everything you do and would highly recommend you to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder.
I’m so pleased that I started my son’s journey into childcare with Stacey. It’s such a special thing to send him from my home to another home. I know Stacey takes so much time and care in the things she does with him and although he is highly attached to me & doesn’t like to be left, he settles quickly and clearly feels safe and happy with her in the space she has created. I have always received frequent updates of his day and the communication has been great throughout. I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone needing childcare! ❤️
Vanessa looked after our 9-month-old baby a couple of days per week over the summer. She formed a routine with him, did mealtimes, was good at soothing him when he didn't like getting changed, they went to the park together daily and she kept him entertained and importantly safe. We're really grateful for your help!

Martina occasionally looked after our son from January 2026. As a mother and grandmother herself, she is at ease with children and enjoys taking them to various activities and doing outings. We've been very grateful for her help when we needed some extra hours. She seemed to genuinely enjoy looking after our child and we've shared her contact to a local family
Gina is so kind, fun, thoughtful and brilliant - she’s looked after our daughter after school for the last year and will also be looking after our son from September. Our kids feel so at home in her house, and we’re so lucky to have found her. Thank you Gina x

My son is 14 months has been going to Gina for just 5 months now. I was anxious about going back to work after maternity leave as my son didn’t like going to anyone else other than myself and my partner. However, Gina from the start has been so attentive, loving & supportive. My son absolutely loves Gina and has such a lovely bond with her. It’s home from home, the photos we receive with updates from their day is heartwarming. It’s been the best decision for our family, our son is so outgoing, confident & happy. Thank you Gina, highly recommended by us!!
I started my son in March part time while he also attended nursery on other days. He is a fussy eater and never really settled in nursery. However, since starting here, he has improved so much and at just 20 months old, he started showing preference. He preferred to come here and not his nursery and would also sing the names of the other children. He has improved a lot with his eating and we have also seen great improvement in his speech. He comes each day with so many new words and we have now since then moved him full time… I will highly recommend
Millie has recently left Brightstars to start school, but my son frankie will be starting in Jan. We have seen such a difference in our daughter’s confidence since starting and she loves going in! Siobhan and Ellie are both friendly and professional and ensure the children in their care are happy and comfortable. There’s always lots of fun activities and things to keep them busy, and we get regular updates about what they’ve been up to. It’s lovely to see how comfortable the children are there and nothing is ever too much trouble.
Would highly recommend siobhan and Ellie to anyone looking for exceptional childcare. Thank you for everything you do!
My son was with Becky from reception to year 6 (finishing July 2026) and we only have good things to say. She's so caring and my son really loved being with her. She has lots of things for the children to do. Her family are so kind and her home is so welcoming. Having becky as a childminder gave me great peace of mind. I never had a worry while working. I would recommend Becky to everyone without hesitation.

Laura has looked after my youngest son for the past two years, and I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Her care, professionalism and dedication have been incredible from day one.
During his time with Laura, he has been on so many wonderful adventures and has had countless opportunities to explore, learn and discover new things. I will be forever grateful for the love, care and attention she has given him.
Laura’s home quickly became a second home to him, which I think is so important in those early years. He has always felt happy, safe and completely comfortable in her care, and it has been lovely to see how much he has grown in confidence and developed into such a happy, curious little boy.
Laura plans a fantastic range of daily outings in all weathers, which my son absolutely loved, as well as thoughtful and engaging activities that are carefully planned to encourage children to explore, create and learn.
Knowing that your child is happy, safe, loved and learning while you are away from them is priceless, and Laura has given us exactly that.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone looking for exceptional childcare. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will always be grateful for everything she has done for our son. ❤️
We feel extremely lucky to have found Shona for help with our 6 month old baby. It was so lovely and reassuring to see how well baby took to her. It is evident that Shona has a wealth of experience with children, and she brings such joy and passion in the care she provides, she is truly the nanny I was hoping I could find for my baby when I started my search!
We had such a wonderful experience with Beatriz! We were in town for a wedding, and this was the first time we had ever left our 10-month-old baby boy with someone we didn’t know, especially in a hotel rather than at home, so we were understandably nervous. From our very first interaction, Beatriz was warm, kind, and reassuring. She was so sweet and natural with our son, and he became very comfortable with her right away.
Beatriz looked after him for around 7 hours and took such wonderful care of him. She sang and played with him, helped with feeding, put him to sleep, and took him out for walks. We especially appreciated how thoughtful and communicative - sending us her location and pictures while they were out, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy the wedding.
We truly can’t express how much we appreciated Beatriz’s help on such a special occasion. She made what could have been a very stressful first experience feel easy and reassuring, and we knew our little boy was happy and in caring hands. We would highly recommend Beatriz to any family and would absolutely trust her with our son again. Thank you so much, Beatriz! ❤️
