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 has been attending Golden Hearts for 2 weeks now and although still early days, he has progressed massively !
Lynda provides fun creative but educational activities for the children which is a good balance.
Lynda has an app where everything is uploaded ,mealtimes, personal care, nappy changes, sleep times, feeds and photos of activities the children are doing , this is extremely useful especially so I can check in at anytime to see how my son is doing throughout the day.
I was very apprehensive putting my son into childcare when returning to work as he is still young, but I’m very confident and happy with the care, support, education and love Lynda provides.
Lynda has a genuine caring, loving and nurturing personality and home, where I feel confident my son is safe.
I feel at ease knowing I can contact Lynda anytime throughout the day and her response is always very quick.
I highly recommend Lynda at Golden Hearts Tiney Nursery!

Katie made us feel so at ease when she babysat for our 1 year old. She came to meet her a week before to make sure we were all a good fit for each other. Katie made a real effort to interact with our daughter and was brilliant at keeping her relaxed. Her communication was really prompt and clear. We can’t recommend her enough ☺️

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Jasmin caring for our 1-year-old. From the very beginning, she showed exceptional patience, warmth, and genuine love for our child. She is attentive, nurturing, and always fully engaged, making us feel completely confident and at ease while our baby was in her care.
Jasmin has a wonderful understanding of age-appropriate development and consistently supported our child’s growth through play, learning activities, and positive routines. She is reliable, punctual, and communicates clearly, always keeping us informed about our child’s day, milestones, and needs. Highly recomend!
Cannot recommend Jen highly enough! Right from the start Jen worked hard to ensure both mine and my babies needs were met, establishing nurturing bonds and offering a number of settling sessions to help both me and my baby settle. I am provided regular updates throughout the day and Jen shared an overview of the day on collection. My baby enjoys outings and excellent activities at her wonderful home and garden setting. Jen truly does go above and beyond for all the children. I am grateful our baby is one of the small ratio she works with.
I highly recommend Kathryn, she looked after my 7 year boy and she done a fantastic job and shes very lovely and friendly too. Very clean and tidy. My boy was well fed and entertained changed and she got him to go sleep at a great time also communication was on point :) thank you to kathryn :)

We have known Zsofia for years now and she's been wonderful with our 3 kids. She is very punctual, calm, caring and engaged with kids play, music, learning and healthy snack preparation. My kids always ask about her and when she is coming again, they adore her which is always a great sign 😊 I would definitely recommend her to other families and will see her again for AdHoc care in the future!
Anne Marie has worked with us for over a year. She started at the birth of my second son and helped me through the toughest year of my life whilst he worked abroad. She is nurturing and playful with my 2 year old and has built a wonderful relationship with my baby. She goes above and beyond, is reliable, hard working and takes instructions well. Helps with housework where possible and took on additional responsibilities when I was ill. She sings, cooks healthy treat for my baby and is very clean. We couldn’t have asked for more.

My son was with debbie from 6 months to 3 year old till he went school nursery, Debbie looked after my son and put my mind at rest each day, so caring and friendly my little boys face lit up each day he went, when he little older he would run in , I was sad for him to leave , i've recommended Debbie to everyone and comfortable doing this , I'm so glad I found Debbie to look after my son thanks Debbie 🥰
I would not recommend this childcare provider. Despite agreeing to my varying work hours at the outset, issues quickly arose. My child’s name and my own were repeatedly used incorrectly despite several corrections. The contract was terminated after I questioned a payment, and the termination form contained inaccuracies that were ignored. I am still awaiting my refund, and communication has stopped. I have retained written message evidence if required.
I don't know how Naila does it full time! She is available whenever we need her. I'm a nurse and sometimes work night shifts and have random community patients here and there and she really just makes my schedule possible as she's always there for us. My first boy grew with her from when he was 1 and he's now 4. He's made friends there and have made her home his home. My second boy is now growing up with her too and from the moment Naila held him, I knew he felt that warmth from her. He never just went with anyone at that time. Now he's so free and loves her and her family. We are so so thankful for you. What can we do without you, Naila?! Here's credit to her kids and her new assistant too. The whole family is just amazing! Thank you! 💞
I have used Rabeya’s services for over five years since my eldest son was in reception. She is very reliable, flexible and caring, the kids absolutely adores her. She now also looks after my two year old since he was one. I would recommend Rabeya to anyone who is looking for a reliable childminder in the area.
We used Renata for our new born baby boy from around 1 month. She has been excellent in looking after him, understanding his needs and wants and caring for him as much as any mum could wish for. He hasnt been an easy baby and Renata has made me feel secure in leaving him with her and knowing that she sends me updates when he's settled which has meant so much.
I wouldnt hesitate in recommending her to anyone.

Jo looked after me for years as a baby and a child. Not only did my mum trust her with me, but also my two younger siblings. Jo’s services took loads of stress away from my mum as she was working part time with 3 kids, 5 and under. I have some amazing memories and keep sakes from her. I’m turning 20 this year and she’s still a close family friend of ours and will never forget all the amazing things she did for me and my siblings. She is friendly, caring, supportive and has the kindest heart. She created a safe and loving environment away from home for us and gave the best hugs. She gave us snacks after school, ensured we had plenty of fun and documented it in books for mum to see what we were up to. I know that one day I will trust Jo with my kids!!
We've had a wonderful experience with Annalisa. Our daughter attended her setting for a year and a half. She has taken great care of our child and created a calm, warm and welcoming environment every day. Communication has always been easy and reassuring, she keeps us updated, shares pictures and lets us know how the day went. Our child settled in quickly thanks to her kindness, patience and the fun activities she plans.We' ve seen real progress in confidence and social skills.
We feel completely at ease leaving our child with her and are grateful for the support she provides. Highly recommended to any parent looking for someone reliable, caring and professional.
SonSon took wonderful care of my daughter, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, creating a safe and nurturing environment where my daughter felt happy and comfortable. SonSon communicated clearly and regularly, which gave me great peace of mind, and she always showed genuine care and professionalism. I am truly grateful for the love and dedication she showed, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for an excellent childminder.
Returning to full-time work in November 2025 was one of the hardest transitions I have faced as a mother. From the moment my son was born in November 2024, I knew that choosing the right childcare would be one of the most important decisions of my life. As a first-time mother, the thought of leaving my baby five days a week filled me with anxiety, fear, and countless questions. I wanted more than just childcare. I wanted someone who would love my son, understand him, respect his rhythm, and care for him as if he were their own.
Initially, I focused my search on nurseries, thinking that a larger environment might be best for socialisation. But everything changed the moment I came across TeeCee’s profile. Seeing that she is bilingual in French and English immediately spoke to my heart. Raising my son in a bilingual environment is extremely important to me, not only for language development but also for identity, culture, and emotional expression. From our very first exchange, I felt a sense of peace and trust that is hard to put into words.
Meeting TeeCee confirmed everything I felt. There was no hesitation, no doubt, she was the person I wanted to care for my son. She is a truly exceptional woman: warm, gentle, patient, and deeply knowledgeable. From day one, she welcomed us with so much kindness and made us feel completely at home. She took the time to understand my son, to learn his needs, his habits, and his little personality, and she supported his transition with so much love and care.
The bilingual experience TeeCee offers has been incredibly special for us. My son is immersed naturally in both French and English, in a way that feels effortless and joyful. In just two months, his speech has developed beautifully in both languages, and his confidence has grown so much. Watching him understand, respond, and express himself in two languages at such a young age has been deeply moving for me as a mother.
Beyond his language development, the progress my son has made overall is remarkable. His motor skills have improved significantly, his curiosity has blossomed, and he is happier, more confident, and more secure. Today, he genuinely loves going to TeeCee. He looks for her when he is with me, calls her name, and is always excited to see her. That alone tells me everything I need to know.
TeeCee goes far beyond what you would ever expect from a childminder. She is flexible, open-minded, and always willing to support parents, even at short notice. She listens, reassures, and works in true partnership with families. Her care is not just professional it is deeply human.
For us, TeeCee is no longer just a childminder; she has become part of our family. Entrusting her with my son has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am endlessly grateful for her love, her patience, and her dedication. Any family lucky enough to have TeeCee care for their child will truly be blessed.
We hired Kailey to babysit our 1 year old daughter. Kailey was the first babysitter we had ever used, as we had only ever left our daughter with family before.
Our little one took to Kailey immediately and was really happy and settled in her company.
Kailey was kind, professional and really easy to work with.
We do not hesitate in recommending her.
Kathryn and I had several exchanges over childcare.co.uk and we met to discuss childcare for my son. By the end of the discussion we agreed to go ahead, a start date and settling in arrangements. Kathryn advised she would send the contacts on the same day. I had 2 other options which I contacted and thanked for their time however I had found an alternative arrangement. Later that day Kathryn emailed me and I opened this ready to sign contract, however instead was a message saying one of her current children had decided to increase their hours and thus she had no more space. I was obviously shocked but mostly disappointed that I now had been left with zero options. I understand I should have waited for the contract but we live in a small village and I naively believe that most people were honest and would not have made a verbal commitment if there was any chance they could not fulfil it. In her email Kathryn advised she would keep me at the top of her list should an opening come up, however when I went back to childcare.co.uk to look at other options she had blocked me and deleted our conversation history. Please exercise caution with Kathryn and if you decide to go ahead wait until the contracts have been signed.
We’ve been working with Codie for the last few months and she is phenomenal! She takes such good care of our 14 month old daughter. She’s researched various activities she can do with her in our area. When at home, she keeps her engaged and happy all times! Our little one loves Codie and it gives us the peace of mind we need when leaving her with Codie.

The Seahawk team, led by Bobbee, has supported my daughter since she was 2 years old, and the care, consistency, and understanding they have shown her over the years has been amazing. Now at 4, she has grown into a confident and independent child, and that is largely thanks to the way Seahawk gently encourages independence in an age-appropriate and supportive way. The staff truly know each child as an individual and have always met her needs with patience, kindness, and professionalism. I am so grateful for the strong foundation Seahawk has given her and would highly recommend the nursery to any parent. They foster strong connections with the local communities, encouraging the children to be involved in Environmental and Community charity events. Additionally, having many staff members and children belonging to Military families they have an unique understanding of the challenges the children face, having measures in place to give that additional support.
