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.
I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She’s looked after my children before and they absolutely adore her. She’s so caring, patient, and naturally amazing with kids. The environment she provides is safe, nurturing, and genuinely top tier — you can tell a lot of thought and love goes into everything she does. As a parent, I felt completely at ease knowing my children were in such good hands. Any child would be lucky to be cared for by her.
“I had a great experience with Natalie. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive with my children. I felt completely comfortable leaving my kids in her care. She kept them safe, entertained, and happy, and they really enjoyed spending time with her. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their children.”
We are extremely grateful to have such a wonderful childminder for my son, Ezrah. She is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in his development and wellbeing. Ezrah feels safe, happy, and supported in her care, which gives me real peace of mind as a parent. Her reliability and positive influence have made a big difference to our family, and I couldn’t ask for better care for my child.
I couldn’t have asked for a more loving and caring childminder. Natalie has looked after my child for many years and has been such an important part of our family’s life. Knowing my child was happy, safe, and genuinely loved meant everything to me. I am so grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication Natalie has given, and i will always treasure the impact she’s had on my child.
Natalie has looks after my daughter and also has my autistic niece and nephew, she has been absolutely amazing, very accommodating and flexible.. going above and beyond especially for my niece and nephew with additional needs, she is so calm and patient with them. She a lovely bubble lady and i highly recommend her, I completely trust her with my daughter and niece and nephew. Thank you so much for all you have done
Jess worked with us as a nanny from May 2024 - Feb 2026 taking care of our children who are now 4 and 6 (but were initially 2 and 4).
During her time with our family, Jess has been consistently reliable with excellent timekeeping and a professional approach to her role. She is wonderful with our children – they look forward to her coming each day and spending time with her. She is very kind, calm and confident with our children and always ensures they feel safe, supported and engaged. She fitted in naturally with our family life and built a warm, positive relationship with both the children and adults in the household. She consistently followed our household routines ensuring continuity and structure for our children. In addition to taking care of our children, Jess will plan, shop for and cook meals for them, plan activities and assist with light housekeeping tasks such as the children’s laundry.
Jess has been very flexible if we have had to make adjustments to our schedule and was able to work longer hours over school holidays which we really appreciated.
On days when Jess brings her baby to work with her, our children absolutely love seeing her and interacting with her daughter. We have been impressed with how Jess has managed to continue to meet the needs of our children while taking care of her own daughter at the same time.
We have always found Jess to be completely trustworthy and responsible and we have had full confidence in her judgement at all times. She is also a safe and careful driver which gave us great peace of mind when she was transporting the children on school runs or for outings.
I would not hesitate to recommend her to another family and we will all very much miss having her around!
We are so delighted and thankful that we found The Beehive! Our toddler was struggling to settle at a large nursery, but he's found a safe and happy 'home away from home' with Kate and Phoebe. The environment is cosy and welcoming, with lots of toys and activities. The little ones are taken out for walks, forest school, or local playgroups. Communication is easy and warm, and we can relax knowing our son is well looked-after by genuinely caring professionals each day. Highly recommend.
I am very happy to provide a reference for Linda, who worked as a nanny caring for our two boys for six months. From the very beginning, Linda felt like a natural fit for our family. She was always punctual and incredibly reliable, which made it very easy for us to feel relaxed when the boys were with her.
Linda formed a lovely bond with the boys. She is caring, patient, and attentive to their needs. She often took them to our local park, where our eldest could play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors, always feeling safe and supported in her care.
On top of this, Linda is a fantastic cook. She prepared delicious home-cooked meals for our family, which we really appreciated.
We have found Linda to be trustworthy, kind-hearted, and dependable. She helped us alot, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, capable, and loving nanny.
Kind regards,
Emily & James
Kelly was recommended to me by our next door neighbour who has three lovely children that went to Kelly when they were young. It has been the best recommendation ever! Kelly is caring,thoughtful ,super organised and a wonderful person. Our daughter has loved her time there and is always happy and smiling when I drop her off and pick her up. I would recommend Kelly to anyone I know!
Shelley has been nothing short of incredible from the very beginning. Trusting someone with your child is never easy, but Shelley made it feel natural and reassuring straight away. She keeps me constantly informed, which gives me complete peace of mind and makes such a difference as a parent.
Shelley truly takes the time to understand my child’s individual needs and always adapts her care to make sure they feel safe, supported, and happy. What makes her truly special is the genuine love she has for the children she looks after - she cares for them as if they were her own, and that warmth and kindness shines through in everything she does.
She doesn’t just support the children, she supports the parents too. Shelley is always approachable, understanding, and reassuring, offering guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear whenever it’s needed. Knowing that both my child and I are supported means more than words can say. I am endlessly grateful for everything Shelley does and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent looking for someone truly exceptional.
Thank you Shelley xxx

We hired Shannon to care for our twins. We went through the process of setting her up on payroll and had a contract in place. The evening of the second day, she emailed to say she had to quit effective immediately for mental health reasons. She didn't work her notice, so we were stuck and had to find last minute care for our kids. As great as Shannon was during the trial we conducted, she just wasn't a very trustworthy or reliable option for long-term childcare in the end.

Jackie is an amazing childminder, she is the most attentive, warm and kindest people I know. The biggest worry going back to work is who to trust with your child is such a scary thought however, I can whole heartily say that I will be sad the sad my child no longer goes to Jackie.
Jackie also makes some delicious home made food, and will send the recipe over which really helps with introducing new foods as my child went from a baby to a toddler.
In the time my child has been with Jackie, she has never had a day off sick. She is consistent, professional and one of the best. You can tell this by how much the children all love her and no tears at handover.
I couldn’t be happier with Coleen. From the very beginning, she made us and our daughter feel completely comfortable and supported. My daughter has thrived in her care coming on leaps and bounds and always comes home happy, settled, and excited to tell us about her day.
Her setting warm, safe, and nurturing, with lots of fun and educational activities that really support learning and development. Communication has always been excellent, and i feel confident knowing my daughter is in such caring and capable hands.
Not only has Coleen cared for my daughter she has supported us as a family through medical issues and feeding problems my daughter is currently undergoing medical care for.
I would highly recommend Coleen to any parent looking for high-quality, reliable and amazing childcare you can't go wrong with Coleen.
Mary was our night nanny for three months, working three nights a week, and she was wonderful. She is caring, gentle, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and always impeccably punctual. Like many parents, we were initially anxious about leaving a stranger to care for our son overnight, but Mary earned our trust and became part of our family during that time. She went above and beyond, checking in on our son even on nights she wasn’t working and asking how doctor’s appointments had gone. Mary supported us through the fourth trimester and thoughtfully helped us find colleagues to take over when she left. I have no hesitation in recommending her to other parents.
My daughter has been going to Gilly and Crisse for quite a while now and I wouldn’t want her going anywhere else!! Both Gilly and Crisse are so loving and have a genuine passion in providing the best childcare. They have the most amazing, adventurous, special days out planned for the little ones and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being at Gilly Bee’s.
We started using Misha’s Nursery when my son had just turned 1. At first, it was difficult to leave him, but Misha and her team reassured me that he would be absolutely fine — and they were right!
The nursery is truly the best in the area: they cook healthy meals, care for all the children, and pay attention to every little detail. We couldn’t be happier with the care and support they provide. My heart is peace when I leave and pick up my child from Misha’s nursery.
Highly recommend it! x
We are very happy that our 14‑month‑old son had the chance to be cared for by such a wonderful nanny. It was his first time with her, and he quickly felt comfortable and safe in her warm, caring presence. Our little one had a fantastic time, played beautifully, and came home relaxed and smiling, which means the world to us as parents. We highly recommend.
