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.
Tina, Carol and Eloise have looked after my 2 children over the past 7 years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I couldn’t have asked for better people to care for my children.
Both of my children have loved their time here and have learnt so much. I was so happy with the care they received that I chose to keep both of them here instead of moving them to nursery, as I knew they would do so much better.
They always go above and beyond, creating such a caring, supportive and fun environment. I love the daily diary, which lets me see everything they’ve been up to each day. They also create beautiful profile books filled with the children’s work and wonderful photo albums. I still look back through my oldest child’s profile, and they are memories I’ll treasure forever.
I will always be grateful for everything they’ve done for my family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff were so kind, reassuring, and supportive, which made settling our daughter in so much easier. They always made sure she felt happy, comfortable, and included, and it was wonderful to see how much she enjoyed her time there.
Knowing our daughter was happy and well looked after gave us real peace of mind. We are so grateful for everything they’ve done and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and welcoming place for their child.
Gants Hill Playgroup has been an amazing experience for my daughter Freya all of the teachers are wonderful and care for the children like their own. My daughter has learnt so much including how to write her own name and short sentences. She has learnt a bit about the world we live in and has made some wonderful friends. If you are thinking about sending your child to this nursery then you absolutely should! I feel my daughter now has a great headstart before starting school in September! Thank you for everything you have helped my daughter grow so much! Special thanks to Dawn, Leena, Nuzhat, Nihan, and Sabrina. Xxx

Over the last 4 years Furdosa, and her team, have looked after both of my boys - both within a wider childminder environment and also at her house.
Furdosa and team provide a safe and loving environment for the children, with tasty home cooked meals and lots of stimulating activities. The kids are often outside and have very wholesome days - =going to places such as Stepney City Farm, Mile End Park, the library, soft play at Mile End Leisure Centre and various Children Centres.
She has a loving, welcoming personality - the children absolutely adore her and start and end their day with happiness.
We would highly recommend Furdosa to any family looking for a loving and reliable childminder and just want to say thank you very much Furdosa!

Maria and her team looked after both of my little boys for 2 years each. They had a wonderful time with her - always running into her house happy and leaving happy.
The kids spend lots of time playing outside and visit lots of fun local places - like Stepney City Farm, Victoria Park, Mile End Park and Mile End Leisure Centre.
Our children made lots of good friends at Maria's and they're all still friends today - all testament to the wonderful environment she cultivated.
I will forever be thankful for the care that Maria showed to my children - looking after them like they were her own. Thank you Maria, Carlos, Noel, Christopher, Matthew, Furdosa and Hannah.
I highly recommend!

Lisa and the team have been amazing childminders for my three girls over the years. From early years care for my daughter who is now going into school to after school care for my older girls.
My youngest has benefited from a varied and active early years setting where she has learnt all the skills required to get her ready for school while making some lovely friends.
The choice of activities is great for after school and they always come out happy and fulfilled.
I would recommend precious oaks childcare to any parent.
Becky is Fantastic childminder! Caring, reliable, and professional. Our child loves attending, enjoys the activities, and has learned so much. We highly recommend Becky to anyone looking for quality childcare.
Clare has been looking after my 2 x 4 year old (boy / girl) twins since Sept 2025 and I couldn't be more pleased that we found her! She has been wonderful with the kids and has really helped develop them at a key stage in their lives. They are always doing fun things, like going to the playground after school or going on picnics or adventures. Clare was also kind enough to drop the kids off to Squirrels on a Monday so that we don't have to. Her setting is clean and well catered for kids of all ages and has a lovely spacious garden that the kids have enjoyed playing in over summer. Couldn't ask for more from a childminder really and we wish her all the very best. Thank you for all that you have done for us - we will miss you, Ted and Max!

I found Jusna at a time where I was let down by another child minder. She agreed to take on my daughter who was then just over a 1 year old. Going back to work after maternity and leaving my baby was a really difficult decision for me however looking back now it was the best decision for our little girl. Jusna made the transition effortless my daughter bonded with her instantly, Jusna has an effortless calm energy and that trickles on to the children in her care. My daughter loved attending she would go to the library and park weekly and to local stay and play groups. We received regular pictures and updates on how Laylas day is going.
I am so grateful to have had my daughter in Jusna’s care our daughter has moved on to nursery but still misses and talks about ‘aunty’.
Thank you for everything you have done for us as a family.
Maria has looked after our two girls, Matilda (5) and Amelia (3), for almost two years, and we honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. From the start she’s been exceptionally organised and completely reliable. In nearly two years she has never once let us down, and when we’ve had last-minute changes to our plans she’s taken them in her stride without a fuss.
What has stood out most is her confidence. She thinks nothing of taking both girls out on proper adventures, trains, buses, days out, and she manages the two of them with real ease. As any parent of two young children knows, that’s no small thing. We’ve always felt completely comfortable knowing they were with her.
The girls adore her, which tells you everything. We have never had a single concern in the whole time she’s been with us. The only reason we’re saying goodbye is that we’re relocating, and truthfully we’re not sure how we’ll manage without her.
Maria has been our Nanny for over a year now, and was with me from the moment my little girl was born last April as well as helping me with my eldest who is four.
Maria has been an absolute life line. There is no one in the world I trust with my children more than Maria. Her care for my baby has been first class and she has treated her like her own daughter. I was often amazed how Maria could get my baby to sleep when I could not. I have also learnt a lot about looking after children from Maria, she is incredibly experienced.
There is no task that Maria will not take on. She is incredibly proactive and just comes in to my house and knows what to do. She has a great attitude and often makes me laugh.
Her cooking is amazing. Both my children love her food as do we.
Her standard is incredibly high, and I do think anyone would be challenged to find a better Nanny than Maria.
We are hoping to keep Maria on part time moving forward, and that another family will have her - a nanny share essentially - and I would be happy to speak to anyone that interviews her.

We have had the privilege of having two of our children grow up with Melina and are so sad to be leaving her (due to our starting school).
From the day we came to view her setting the kids cried as we were leaving and were desperate to come back as soon as possible.
We felt at ease because seeing her and how the other children interact with her is not something you can manufacture. Looking after children is truly something that Melina is gifted at and it shows in her commitment and tenacity towards the children.
My kids literally run in and jump on Melina when she opens the door! Having an unfortunately sad experience with a nursery before meeting Melina, this was so refreshing.
Melina potty trained our youngest child, we just supported the routine that Melina suggest and within 4 days she was potty trained. She really knows what she’s talking about but is also flexible enough to adapt her routine to meet the needs of each individual child. My two girls were very different but both absolutely adore Melina.
She’s honestly part of the family, so much so that the kids have never referred to her as Melina - it’s always been Aunty Melina.
Her setting is clean and very spacious. She has a dedicated outhouse for childminding and the kids love it. We get regular reports and updates and pictures daily of all the things they get up to. They go on trips together sometimes too and they LOVE a good reason to celebrate. Every festival and holiday they will come home with crafts and presents and work. It’s so lovely to see them being exposed to lots of cultures.
Bella’s speech and pattern recognition has developed massively since being with Melina. She started when she was just 8 months and now at 3.5 years old we’re so sad to be leaving.
I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Thank you Melina for all you have done and continue to do for the kids in your care.

My son has recently had his induction and trial sessions and although he doesn’t officially start until September. I already feel so confident that we’ve made the right choice. The setting is absolutely beautiful it’s such a lovely, open space with so much for the children to explore and enjoy.
He has been so happy during his trial hours and it’s been wonderful to see how excited he is to be there. It’s clear that he’s already settled in so well and I can’t wait for him to start properly in September.
Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming and engaging environment for the children! ❤️

I cannot recommend Maryam and her team highly enough. They are simply wonderful and have provided exceptional care for my daughter.
The setting is outstanding, with a wide range of engaging activities that support children's learning and development. The layout of the rooms is particularly impressive, thoughtfully designed to cater to children of different ages and stages of development.
The nutritious meals they prepare are fantastic, and my daughter always enjoys them. Every day she is excited to go there, and when I pick her up, she is always happy and content.
What has meant the most to our family is the way they have accommodated my daughter's additional needs. They have always shown patience, understanding, and genuine care, ensuring that she feels included, supported, and valued. They have gone above and beyond to adapt to her individual needs, helping her to thrive and build confidence. From the very beginning, they made her feel like part of the family, and that warmth and sense of belonging have made a tremendous difference to her wellbeing.
Most importantly, I have complete confidence in the safety of the environment. Health and safety procedures are consistently followed to a very high standard, giving me great peace of mind as a parent.
Communication is excellent, and I am always kept informed about my daughter's progress, activities, and wellbeing. The care, dedication, and professionalism shown are second to none.
I genuinely could not have asked for more for my child. Choosing this childminder has been one of the best decisions I have made, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their child.
We’re grateful to have found Mandy and Kev!
They provide such a warm, homely environment, and our little girl has settled so well with them. She always has so much fun and we love the photo updates - They’re such a lovely touch and it’s so nice to see what she’s been up to.
Could not recommend enough!

Abby is a fantastic childminder. She's caring, calm and patient, and she's really good at listening to both children and parents. She always keeps things clean and hygienic, which gives me peace of mind.
My son loves spending time with her, I also like that she focuses on educational activities and helps children learn through play.
I would definitely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and supportive childminder.
