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 honestly cannot recommend Natalie enough! From start to finish, the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. Natalie was incredibly flexible, accommodating and understanding, which made the entire process so much easier and stress-free for me.
Natalie’s home was absolutely lovely, spotlessly clean, welcoming and beautifully maintained, which immediately put my mind at ease knowing my children would be in such a comfortable environment.
Most importantly, my children had an amazing time! They felt happy, comfortable and well looked after, which is everything you could possibly want as a parent.
It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your children, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My children are already looking forward to their next visit, which speaks volumes!
Five stars all around! I would highly recommend Natalie to any parent looking for reliable, caring and accommodating childcare. ❤️

I put my daughter who is 2 years old with Olivia after she had been at a private nursery for 10 months. I wanted a more homely setting for her and thought it would best suit us. I was very anxious about this change & Olivia made me feel such ease through the whole process and nothing was ever too much. My daughter absolutely loves it with her and asks to go back as soon as she is home! We get regular updates throughout the day and photos which was very important for me & is happy to adapt to any requirements and requests we make for her. All we wanted was somewhere our daughter would thrive and be comfortable and livs little learners does just that!!!
I first sent my eldest daughter to Sophie around four years ago, and she absolutely thrived in her care. She learned so much through play and fun activities, including numbers and colours, and loved spending time with Sophie and the other children. She always felt comfortable, happy and at home, and it truly felt like a second home for her.
When I had my second daughter, there was never any doubt that she would also go to Sophie when I returned to work. Now, over 12 months later, my youngest absolutely adores going to Sophie’s!
My youngest has a nut allergy, and I feel completely confident that she is safe and well cared for, both at the setting and when they go out and about. Sophie has also been amazing at supporting my now two-year-old with her speech, helping her develop and giving her extra support wherever needed.
Sophie is such a kind and caring person who genuinely loves what she does. She treats every child with so much love, patience and compassion, and it really shows in the happy relationships she builds with them. She also sends regular updates throughout the day, which is always lovely to receive and gives me real peace of mind.
The children enjoy lots of lovely activities, including walks, trips to the park, toddler groups and so much more. Sophie creates such a warm, fun and nurturing environment where the children can learn, grow and feel safe.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Sophie highly enough to anyone looking for childcare. Having trusted her with both of my girls has been such a positive experience, and I’m so grateful for the care, love and support she gives them. ❤️
Our daughter started with Kathy when she was 8 months old and she’s now about to turn 3 (and is going nowhere!) Kathy has been a home away from home for our daughter, she’s fostered her independence, helped her conquer new things, given her huge confidence, and has been a loving presence in her life, she just adores Kathy. Kathy been a huge comfort to us parents too, always so responsive and helpful and the daily photos make us feel so connected to what’s going on. We really couldn’t be happier or recommend her more!
We couldn't be happier with the care that Gemma provides for our little boy.
From day one, she's been welcoming, friendly and professional, and it's clear how much she cares about the children she looks after. Our son is so happy and settled in her care, which as parents is the most important thing we could ask for.
We've always found Gemma to be approachable, accommodating and easy to communicate with. She's created a lovely, safe and nurturing environment, and we have complete confidence in the care she provides.
We also appreciate that childminders have families and personal responsibilities of their own, and sometimes unexpected circumstances arise that are completely outside their control. In our experience, Gemma has always had the children's best interests at heart, and we've found her to be very dedicated to her work. We think it's important that rare unforeseen difficulties don't overshadow the consistently excellent care she provides.
Finding someone you can wholeheartedly trust with your child isn't easy, but we feel very fortunate to have found Gemma. She's been absolutely brilliant with our son, and we're incredibly grateful for the care, kindness and attention she gives him.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gemma to other families looking for a caring, trustworthy and dedicated childminder.
My little girl has attended Vikki’s Little Vikings for just over a year and a half now, and we couldn’t love it more! She settled in so well, as it’s such a lovely, home from home environment.
Vikki, Gemma, Claire and Jen are absolutely amazing at what they do, and it’s so clear how much love, care and effort they put into all of the children. My little girl is always made to feel so welcome, and it’s lovely knowing she’s somewhere she feels safe, happy and comfortable while we’re apart. She goes in with a huge smile on her face every time.
There are always so many lovely activities and experiences for the children, and I love seeing how much she has grown in confidence and developed during her time there. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder and I would recommend Vikki to anyone looking for a caring, supportive and home from home setting. We feel so lucky to have found her! ❤️
It’s hard to put into words just how wonderful Kathy is and how much she means to our family. ❤️
Over the years, she has been so much more than a childminder to Lily. She has been a constant source of love, encouragement and support, helping her through countless milestones and playing such a special part in the little person she is becoming.
Kathy genuinely cares about Lily’s happiness, confidence and development, and the patience, kindness and dedication she shows are second to none.
We will always be grateful for the role she has played in Lily’s early years. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!

We had our daughter Betsy signed up for a local nursery but a neighbour gave us a passionate recommendation to send her to Neeta as their daughter had been with her for several years. It was the best advice we could have received.
As she was my first, it was an overwhelming experience leaving her in the care of someone we didn't initially know. Reassuring messages and pictures of her helped settle my fears; in those early days I felt that Neeta was taking as good care of me as my daughter!
From starting with Neeta as baby to the boisterous toddler she is now, Neeta has nurtured and developed Betsy in every aspect of her well-being, including her speech, walking, toilet training, nutrition, health as well as helping and allowing her to find her voice and individuality.
One aspect about the care provided that we love is that there are different age groups playing together; when Betsy was a baby she watched the older children, then played with them and experienced their care for her. Now she is the one helping the littler children, which I feel really has helped teach her kindness and empathy in very natural way.
The range of topics they learn about is wonderful; we receive a weekly summary along with a collage of pictures which we look at and talk about when she is home. Neeta's house and garden are wonderfully set up with the children at the heart of everything.
Neeta always goes above and beyond for the children and for us as a family. It's clear that they feel happy and loved and anyone who has had the pleasure of sending their children to Neeta will know that the praise in the reviews is heartfelt. Neeta and Zoran feel more like family to us and we will miss them desperately when we move away from the area.
Neeta provided Betsy with the most wonderful start in one of the most important stages in her life, and we will forever be grateful for the love and support they have provided to Betsy and us as a family.
I highly recommend Miss Emma! She is absolutely wonderful, caring, patient, and professional. She creates a warm, safe, and loving environment where children feel happy and comfortable.
My daughter absolutely loves going there! She is always so happy and excited, and she keeps asking me when she can go to Miss Emma’s again. That says everything about how much she enjoys her time there and how special Miss Emma is!
It’s such a lovely feeling knowing that my daughter is happy, safe, and well looked after. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Thank you so much, Miss Emma, for everything you do! ❤️
My girl only started coming to Riz recently but she’s been loving it. She is very hyperactive and when she goes to see Riz, she comes back home happy and excited to go back again. She takes the kids to different places such as library and soft play which is good for their development and is super friendly and educative with them. I don’t have to worry about my child being safe with her as she looks after all the kids really well
Gemma has been my daughter’s childminder for over two years and I have always said that she was born to do this job. She has a natural gift for working with children and puts so much love, care, and dedication into what she does. Gemma makes every day special for the children, taking them on outings and filling their days with fun, exciting activities and wonderful experiences. My daughter is always happy when she comes home from Gemma’s and she looks forward to going there every morning. As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your child is happy, safe, and genuinely enjoys their time away from you. Gemma is also the kind of person you would be lucky to have as a close friend. She is kind, caring, trustworthy, and has such a lovely personality. My daughter’s happiness is my number one priority and seeing how happy she is with Gemma means the world to me. I couldn’t ask for a better childminder and if we were to have more children in the future I would choose Gemma again.
I am truly grateful for everything she does and would recommend her to any parent looking for someone who loves what they do and cares for children as if they were their own. THANK YOU GEMMA!
I honestly cannot recommend Zoe enough! ❤️
My son started with Zoe when he was just 9 months old, and from day one, the care she has provided has been absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder.
My son is always so happy going to Zoe’s, which gives me so much peace of mind as a mum. Her communication is excellent, and I have never had any issues or concerns.
One thing I absolutely love is how much effort she puts into keeping the children engaged with fun activities, outings and outdoor play\. My son loves being outside and exploring, so it makes me so happy knowing he gets to enjoy all these experiences.
Zoe has been such a huge help to me, and I genuinely appreciate everything she does\. She is more than just a childminder to us; she has become like family.
Knowing my son is happy, safe, loved and well cared for means everything to me. I’m so grateful we found her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, reliable and wonderful childminder!
I have a 3 year old autistic daughter, started using fizz couple of months ago, still using her. My daughter is thriving since fizz started being part of our lives. Fizz always comes with great ideas for fun play and activities for my daughter.
She understands her so well and they got along since day 1.
This girl is amazing honestly I don’t think I could have found a better babysitter than fizz for my daughter.
Going back to work when my son was just nine months old was incredibly daunting, and I was so nervous about leaving him. But from the very beginning, Caz put my mind at ease.
She genuinely cares about every child she looks after, and it really does feel as though my son has become part of her family.
He’s now been with Caz for a year and a half, and I couldn’t be happier. He always goes in with a smile on his face, which says everything! I receive lovely updates throughout the day, and I know he’s always having the best time. He sleeps brilliantly, plays endlessly, and enjoys daily walks, exploring and all sorts of little adventures.
Caz is also always there if I need advice or reassurance, which means so much as a parent.
She has made the transition back to work so much easier for me, knowing my little boy is happy, safe, loved and so well cared for.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Caz highly enough. Thank you, Caz, for everything you do! ❤️

I cannot thank Jackie enough for the support and care she gave me son. He started with Jackie when he had only just turned 1 and Jackie instantly made making back to work that much easier, knowing my son was in a nurturing, safe and loving environment.
At the time my son could only crawl, and Jackie supported his progress with learning to walk and made sure he was always involved in all the activities the children were doing.
Her home is always clean and well organised, and all of the children are so happy, with good manners and kindness always encouraged.
Jackie’s family are really lovely and engaging with the children when they are about.
It really is a home from home feeling, exactly what I wanted for my son.
Jackie takes the children to various settings, including play group, the park, and the library.
My son is an anxious little soul who doesn’t handle separation too well, but Jackie was so caring and loving to settle him into her home. The patience she showed him we will never forget.
