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 highly enough Sally & Michael's childcare. My son has been so happy in Sally & Michael's care, smiling every morning when he comes though the gate to their house, he cannot wait to enter their house. Sally & Michael lead with kindness and patience and this flows through into what they teach the kids, my son has learnt how to share, how to interact with other young children & has been exposed to a wide variety of food.
The set up the kids have access to is amazing and unlike another I have seen, my son is never bored!
The communication between Sally and the parent is fabulous, we love receiving our pictures each day & Sally is incredible flexible and is so understanding to ever changing situations.
Any child that is fortunate enough to be in their care is incredibly lucky. I am unfortunately moving too far out to come to Sally and Michael's every day however I strongly considered doing a 45 min commute each way in order to keep my child in their care as they genuinely care & personalise their approach to every child in their care.
Thank you so much Sally & Michael.

I can’t recommend Sian enough, she’s been absolutely amazing. Sian has been looking after my youngest son since he was 9 months old he’s just turned 1. She the best decision I made, Everyone always said to me with my eldest I will get that feeling when you know someone is right. I instantly got that with Sian, it was a shame I didn’t find her for my eldest son as I never got that right feeling.
Sian is very thoughtful, i love all the arts & crafts they come home with on special occasion. She puts so much effort into the activities. He’s well fed with all her home made meals and snacks. My son has a huge smile on his face as soon as he sees her front door and even bigger smile when he sees Sian. He absolutely loves it. I know he’s in safe hands. I will only ever use Sian. She’s the best!!!
My little girl has additional support needs and has been going to Louise for almost 4 years now.. even when times were tricky Louise was the only person she would go with. She has been so accommodating and built up a lovely relationship with my daughter, encouraging friendships and providing a safe environment and going above and beyond to help out little family... XX
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sara. Our son started with her when he was just 7 months old and, honestly, I still remember how nervous I felt. From the very beginning, her welcoming home and gentle manner immediately put my maternal instincts at ease — something that hadn’t happened with other settings we visited. She gave both me and my husband a real sense of trust and reassurance and she has never once let us down.
As first-time parents, we’ve learnt so much from Sara over the years. She’s always happy to share advice or little tips about anything, from weaning and potty training to social development, behavioural skills, to learning how to hold a pencil, her support has been invaluable. We genuinely couldn’t believe our eyes when our son was able to write his own name at just two and a half!
The end-of-term development reports have always been wonderful — detailed and full of photos and real examples. Through them, we even discovered new things about our own child that we hadn’t noticed ourselves. You can really see her previous experience as a teacher in the way she supports the children — there’s such a lovely balance between structure and warmth.
Another thing we really appreciate is how she keeps herself up to date with policies and procedures, always informing us of any updates. It gives us that extra peace of mind knowing everything is done properly and professionally.
Our eldest is now 4 and has grown into such a confident little boy, also thanks to her. We honestly couldn’t be more grateful. In fact, we trust her so much that our second child has now started attending too 😊
Sara is kind, caring, knowledgeable and truly passionate about what she does. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for looking after our children ❤️
My daughter has been at Subha's house for 2 years and is now leaving to join the pre school up the road where her brother goes to school. Subha has been welcoming and kind and has shown love like a family member towards my daughter. She cooks healthy home cooked meals for the children and my daughter is always keen to go in in the morning. She has a wide range of toys and games and has created a wonderful little group of friends within her settling. The children are happy and play together well. When the wether is good they go out to various local playgrounds and always look like they are having a fab time! Subha's house is spotless, she always has time for a chat at the door and parking is also easy just outside so perfect for pick up and drop offs.
My daughter has been really happy throughout the time she has been with Subha and will be sad to leave!
Our daughter has been going to Shelley’s for 10 months now, she loves going and has learnt so much.
The staff are also all really friendly and helpful.

She is a very reliable and caring nanny who creates a calm, warm, and positive environment for our boys. She is attentive, patient, and always ensures they feel safe and supported. Her calm nature and dedication make a big difference in our home, and she has been a wonderful help to our family. We truly appreciate her professionalism and would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing.
Diane is an absolute superstar.
She regularly looks after my daughter and has been 100% reliable and has often helped me at short notice.
My daughter thinks she is wonderful and I feel completely at ease leaving her in Diane's kind and capable hands.
Not only has Diane helped me with my daughter but she has also helped with our assortment of pets.
She truly is one in a million and would not hesitate in recommending her.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. From the very first meeting, her warm smile and genuine empathy stood out. We visited several others, but her welcoming attitude immediately made us feel that she was the right person for our family.
Our son absolutely loves spending time with her and her children, which speaks volumes about the caring and nurturing environment she creates. It’s clear that she treats every child as if they were her own, with kindness, patience, and attention to their individual needs.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our child to grow, learn, and feel safe and happy. Highly recommended.
My little girl started with Sian in October 2025!
From our first visit I could tell how kind and nurturing Sian was and felt so comfortable with my daughter starting with her. You can tell she really treats all the children like they are her own. Sian has a lovely set up and my daughter really enjoys playing with the range or toys and educational activities and being out in the garden.
Sian has been fantastic at helping my daughter with her speech and potty training.
My daughter has tried a range of new foods she would usually not eat at home, so this amazing!
Sian's communication is excellent - she is so accomadating and flexible with my last minute changes. She shares photos and videos of the activities the children do and walks they go on, which is really lovely to see.
I really wish we had found Sian sooner, she really is amazing!

I highly recommend Halima for anyone looking for a caring and reliable childminder. She and her family provide a warm, welcoming environment and wonderful hospitality. My child always feels happy and safe in her care, and I truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and support she offers. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely dedicated to children’s well-being.
Thank you Halima and your family for giving the love and caring house my son! We miss you so much!
Our son Prince has been with shelley since he was 6 months. He is now 7 years old and still continues to go there after school. He is always so very happy when he attends the setting. I can never fault Shelley and all her staff. Shelley even tries to help me out last minute, as best she could. I am truly greatful to have met shelley. As without her I would not have been able to manage going to work and finding someone to look our son. I now have another baby who is due to join the setting by April. I couldnt be more happy and thrilled. Thank you so much for all your continued support.

Two of my children have been to Shelly’s and I couldn’t fault her , my youngest daughter has been going since she was 9 months old and it’s like her second home , she loves it there , the staff are all amazing I couldn’t fault any of them . Everything they do is for the children and they are all so happy. I can completely relax when my daughter is there and not worry . All the children play together there’s loads of toys and things to do and play with kids could never be bored. I wouldn’t trust my children anywhere else but here .

We were looking for a temporary nanny for 8 weeks so I could take on a short contract at work when my son was 7 months old. I was worried about leaving him because he is breastfed and very attached to me, but he took to her straight away. They bonded very quickly and whenever she arrived in the morning he would kick his legs in excitement and reach out for her. I immediately felt comfortable leaving him with her. Kanjana would take him for walks, to the park and to rhyme time at the library etc. Kanjana was also great with my elder son (4.5) who was at nursery, and a couple of times picked him up for me and made him dinner.
My son was just at the beginning of weaning and Kanjana prepared and made nutritious food for him and left in the fridge for the week, which was so helpful for us. She also knew exactly what to give him and when and knew how to safely give him finger foods.
My hours were irregular and she fitted into our family so well and was always happy to begin earlier/later or stay later, and the flexibility was so helpful to us. I will be so sad that we can't keep Kanjana on with us now I have finished work as she felt like a member of our family.
Sofia has been going to Caz for 2 and a half years, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder; the care, attention, and genuine warmth she shows every single day is truly amazing, and it’s so reassuring knowing Sofia is not only safe but genuinely happy and thriving in her care. She creates such a nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment, and we’ve seen such fantastic progress in Sofia’s language and speech, as well as her confidence interacting with other children; she has also developed real kindness and a lovely sense of sharing, which we truly value. The bond they’ve built is so special, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares. Her communication is fantastic, always keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind, and she consistently goes above and beyond in every way; we honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and truly exceptional childminder.

I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. From the very beginning, she has created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children truly thrive. Her genuine care and passion for what she does is evident in every interaction, and it gives complete peace of mind knowing that my child is in such capable hands.
Lisa gives balance of structured learning and creative play, supporting each child’s development in a fun and engaging way.
Communication has been excellent throughout. I am always kept up to date with my child’s progress, daily activities, and any important information. This level of professionalism and openness makes a huge difference.
An absolutely outstanding childminder who goes above and beyond — I feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
I am so lucky to have found Yada on childcare.co.uk last year ! She looked after my 5 year old son Henry for the majority of summer holidays in 2025 and I feel so blessed to have found her ! I had never left my son with anyone before but he always couldn’t wait to go back and see Yada the next day and he enjoyed his fun filled adventures with her so much he would often get upset about leaving. The care Yada provided was second to none and I cannot speak highly enough of her and her family and the care and love she provides the children she looks after. My Henry often talks about his time at Yada’s and I hope he can return this year!
Best wishes,
Amelia & Henry xx

My daughter started with Jemma when she was 6 months old and is now turning 1 years old.
We absolutely love Jemma and trust her implicitly. My daughter has come on so much since being with Jemma, she can now walk, say little words and wants to make friends with all other children. Bella's face lights up the minute Jemma opens the door and she always reaches out for her. As a working mother, knowing my little one is safe and loved with another care provider, makes all the difference.
I’m never worried that they’re bored, sitting in a house. They go to lots of playgroups, play in the garden, play with the rabbits and have the best time.
Highly recommended Jemma!
My daughter has been coming to Sian for almost 6 months now.
Sian from day one has always been very friendly yet professional. My daughters loves going to her house, her speech has come on lots and for her age she has a very big vocabulary and I put some of that down to Sian.
My daughter’s learning, counting and general knowledge has always been supported and cheered on my Sian. She’s always smiling when she visits her and waves bye at the door. I strongly feel that Sian looks after the children like they are her own.
She is fed great meals and snacks, and is taken out to activities on a regular basis, we have great communication and have lots of videos/photos sent to me on an almost daily basis.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a childminder that gives a great home from home feeling.
Beth has looked after all three of my boys since they were babies.
Her setting is a home away from home. She is caring, nurturing and so much fun!
She makes learning so fun with different activities for the children which is focused around nature, outdoors and the key events throughout the year.
I would not wish for my children to go anywhere else.
She has made two of my boys school ready by supporting with resilience, confidence, potty training and phonics and numbers.
We would be lost without Beth!
