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.
Renu has been looking after my son, Charlie, since he was 10 months old, and he is now three years old. I am incredibly grateful for all the love, care and positivity she has brought into his life during this important stage of his development. Renu cares deeply for Charlie, and this is clear from how excited he is to go and spend time with her.
Renu’s caring, fun and nurturing nature has always given me complete reassurance that Charlie is being looked after in the best possible way. He has truly thrived in her care, and she has encouraged him to be confident, kind and independent, while also allowing his own cheeky and unique personality to shine through.
Renu has also been incredibly supportive in continuing Charlie’s potty training while he has been in her care, helping to ensure consistency between home and his time with her.
Renu has become such an integral part of Charlie’s upbringing, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had her as his childminder. She has created a clean, safe, happy and positive environment where Charlie feels comfortable, secure and cared for. Her home has truly become his second home.
I cannot thank Renu enough for everything she has done for Charlie and for the reassurance and peace of mind she has given us as parents. She has played a very special role in his early years, and we will always be incredibly grateful for the love and care she has shown him.
Working with Rosalind has been fantastic - my daughter (6yrs AuDHD) was unable to access mainstream school and Rosalind provided consistent, creative, child led sessions each week that my daughter loved and looked forward to. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Maggie has given our son. She has welcomed him into her home and cared for him with such warmth, making him feel like part of the family. She is kind and full of energy, and puts so much thought into making each day enjoyable and meaningful for the children. Our son is always happy to go and comes home saying, “Maggie fun!” Hearing that always reminds us how glad we are that we chose her.
Maggie plans such a lovely variety of experiences, from arts and crafts, music and dancing to themed activities, outdoor play and special days out. We especially appreciate the way she notices what each child is interested in and builds activities around those interests. During his time with Maggie, our son has made lovely friendships and grown so much in confidence and independence.
As English is not the main language we use at home, it has also been wonderful to see how much his English and communication skills have developed. His vocabulary has grown, and he has become much more confident in expressing himself. We always love receiving the photos and videos Maggie shares. They give us a lovely insight into his days, and it means a great deal to us to see how happily he talks, plays and interacts with Maggie and the other children.
Maggie is thoughtful and reliable, and she always keeps us well informed. We will always be grateful for everything she has done for our son and for all the happy memories she has helped to create. We would warmly recommend Maggie to other families.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Pamela to look after our children. From the very beginning, she has been warm, caring and genuinely invested in their happiness and development. It is clear that she has a real passion for working with children, and her experience as an Early Years teacher really shows.
Our children love spending time with her and especially enjoy all the outdoor adventures, nature walks and hands-on activities she provides. She creates such a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, confident and encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace.
What I appreciate most is how well she gets to know each child as an individual. She takes the time to understand their personalities and interests and uses these to make their days fun, meaningful and educational. She also communicates really well with us as parents, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing our children are happy and well cared for.
Pamela is kind, patient, reliable and professional, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Our children are so happy in her care, and we are very grateful to have her in their lives. ❤️
We had my brother's wedding and needed a babysitter for two nights of the wedding weekend. It was our first time using the website but Lexi put us at ease as soon as we spoke to her. Lexi also came to meet us before minding our daughter so our daughter was familiar with her. When Lexi arrived our daughter was so happy to see Lexi. Thank you Lexi!

Choosing childminding with Maryam was an easy choice after visiting for the first time. The home is lovely, open and big enough for multiple children to play, yet remains tidy as they’re all taught to clean up after themselves. The children get along well and maintain good friendships, helps get your child out of their own bubble.
They are also often fed homemade, hand cooked meals that can out you at ease they’re still eating well enough and healthy foods
I appreciate Maryam working through the holidays, which I highly appreciate as a working mum in a clinic with my long hours and odd days. Thank you once again!!
We started using Ijeoma in August during the summer holidays, and we have been happy with the care she provided for our daughter.
From the beginning, our daughter settled in so well and genuinely enjoyed her time there. She would look forward to going and, on quite a few occasions, would even cry when we came to pick her up because she didn’t want to leave. That really reassured us that she was happy, comfortable and enjoying herself in her care.
Ijeoma was warm, caring and attentive towards her, and we really appreciated the kindness and care she showed her. We felt comfortable leaving our daughter in her care and would highly recommend her to other parents

Miah was amazing and looked after my 2 sons they both got on with her really well and still ask when they are going to see her again, she was extremely attentive and takes everything you say on board and couldn’t be more amazing with communication. Will definitely be using her services again and our family are extremely grateful to of found her
Allyson has been perfect for us, she looked after out little girl from around 8months old until 18months when we unfortunately switched for different arrangements. We miss her dearly as she was excellent for us the entire time. We never had a worry or a concern, and our little girl developed so well with Allyson. They went to the best activities, did arts and crafts and learned so many words and signs! Allyson was very professional, timely, caring and kind and considerate with us and our baby.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Neelima and I honestly don’t think I can put into words how much she has meant to our family over the last two and a half years.
My daughter started going to Neelima when she was just 1 year and 2 months old. Like any parent, I found it incredibly difficult to leave my little girl with someone completely new. I remember the worry and the heavy heart I had in the beginning. But very quickly, Neelima gave me every reason to feel completely reassured. I never once had a second thought about leaving my daughter with her, and I never worried about whether she was happy, safe or being looked after properly.
Neelima has cared for my daughter almost like I would myself. I have always called her my daughter’s “second mum”, because that is truly how it feels. She has fed her, taught her, played with her, comforted her, encouraged her and, most importantly, given her so much love and care.
Every day, Neelima would keep me updated on how my daughter had been — what she had eaten, what she had done, how she was feeling, all the little things that meant so much to me as a mum. Those daily updates gave me so much comfort and made me feel involved even when I couldn’t be there.
Over these two and a half years, I have watched my daughter grow into such a happy, confident and caring little person, and I genuinely believe Neelima has played a huge part in that. She has not just looked after her; she has helped shape her.
There really are no words to thank Neelima enough for everything she has done for my daughter and for us as a family. Saying we are going to miss her is a huge understatement. Leaving Neelima is honestly one of the hardest parts of this next chapter for us.
If you are looking for someone you can trust completely with your child, someone who will care for them with genuine love, patience and kindness, I could not recommend Neelima highly enough. She has been absolutely exceptional, and we will always be so grateful that she was such a special part of my daughter’s early years.
Thank you, Neelima, for everything. ❤️
Leah is OUTSTANDING! I personally want the world to know about Leah and what she does, how she does it, and the dedication this woman has for her job. My boys are happy, healthy, extremely well looked after and we all simply LOVE Leah.
She teaches them SO much, she is present and offers them individual love and top care. I trust this woman more than I can put into words. My kids are never stuck in a room for days on end, as they would be at a nursery, they interact with other children, they learn how to love nature, each other, yet they also learn to count and read.
CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH! Thank you Leah for everything you do, you’re simply THE ABSOLUTE best there is out there ❤️
Zsofia looked after our children as a Nanny on a part time basis for 3 years until our youngest started full time school. During that time she established a real bond with them becoming a friend and mentor as well as carer. As well as competent in core Nanny tasks, she was also great at occupying their free time with engaging activities like art, crafts, baking, visits to parks, local walks and other excursions. Experienced, trustworthy and reliable, I have no hesitation in recommending her to any future employer.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Caterina. She has been with us throughout the summer and has quickly built a beautiful bond with our little boy, Leonardo.
Caterina is full of energy, initiative and enthusiasm. We particularly appreciate the way she plays with Leonardo and encourages him to explore, discover and learn through everyday activities. She is warm, attentive and genuinely engaged with him, and it is lovely to see how happy Leonardo always is to see her.
She has also been wonderful with us as parents. She is always clear and respectful in her communication, supportive of our choices and attentive to what we need as a family. We really appreciate the trust and peace of mind she gives us when Leonardo is in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Caterina to any family looking for someone who will care for their child with genuine affection, energy and dedication. We are very grateful for all the care and positivity she has brought to our family.

I genuinely cannot recommend Jennie highly enough! She has been the most wonderful childminder :-)
As a parent, it's never easy leaving your baby to go back to work after maternity leave, but i can honestly say I never worried for a second leaving my daughter with Jennie. From the very beginning, Jennie was incredibly kind, caring and thoughtful and her home is so lovely. She is wonderfully creative and puts so much effort and thought into the activities and experiences she provides. Sophie has had so many fantastic opportunities during her time with her and loved every minute there!
It always meant so much to know how much Jennie genuinely cared for Sophie. She has always taken the time to understand her little personality, interests and needs, and we have seen Sophie flourish in her care. She has also created such a lovely little community for the children and Sophie has made some wonderful friendships.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jennie and we were so sad to have to leave to move away with the Army. She has been such an important part of Sophie's early years, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for her.
We could not recommend Jennie more highly. She really is wonderful :-)
The best childcare I ever experienced. Professional, fully qualified and very flexible. Florence is an absolute star.
Highly recommended.
We couldn’t recommend Kanjana more highly. She looked after our daughter Noa when she was four months old, and we felt completely comfortable and confident leaving her in Kanjana’s care from the very beginning.
She was incredibly professional, attentive and caring, and always very thoughtful about Noa’s needs and routine. Communication was excellent throughout: clear, reliable and proactive, and she would regularly go the extra mile to support us and make things easier.
Most importantly, we had complete trust in her. It was very clear how much care and attention she gave Noa, and we always felt she was in safe and loving hands.
We absolutely loved having Kanjana look after Noa and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. We’d also be very happy to provide a personal reference to any family considering working with her.

Lee is a dedicated and caring childminder. He puts the Individual needs of the children first in all his aspects of his care. He clearly works hard providing an educational and stimulating environment for all the children- where they can all develop at their own pace with his continuous support.
Zohra is amazing and I knew the minute I met her that I could leave my daughter with her with zero stress. She’s so caring and maternal! it is a pleasure to see how she engages with kids but also with us adults. Shes so genuine and loving! She’s also very flexible and responds super quickly to all my messages.
She’s always happy to help and for us it is key to know that we have got someone we can rely on who leaves in the neighbourhood.
Can’t recommend her enough !
I could not recommend Sarah enough. After a bad childcare experience with my older children, I was incredibly anxious about finding the right setting for my youngest son. I visited six different childminders and eight nurseries, but the moment I walked into Sarah’s home, I just knew she was the one.My son left at the end of August to start school he had been with Sarah for 3 years, and she has been absolutely amazing. Her home is clean, welcoming, and incredibly nurturing. My son is quite a shy little boy, but Sarah has helped with his confidence so much.They do excellent daily activities, from Forest School to a “Sarah Adventure." On top of that, Sarah's communication is exceptional. She constantly shares updates and photos throughout the day. When you are having a busy, stressful day at work, seeing those photos brings so much peace of mind. Sarah is a truly kind, caring person, and we are so grateful to have found her.
