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.
We have been with our childminder for almost two years, and I can confidently say she has been a wonderful support for both our son and our family.
She is highly experienced, organised, and structured in her approach. Every day the children attend different stay-and-play groups where they have opportunities to play, sing, do crafts, and socialise with other children. At home, she also provides a variety of educational activities, including reading, flashcards, puzzles, and other age-appropriate learning experiences.
One of the biggest benefits for us has been our son’s language development. We speak a different language at home, and he has learned much of his English through spending time with her. We have seen significant progress in his communication skills over the past two years.
She strikes an excellent balance between being kind and nurturing while also maintaining clear boundaries and expectations. This has had a very positive impact on our son. He has learned important social skills such as taking turns, sharing, and following routines, and we often notice that his behaviour is particularly good when he is with her.
As first-time parents, we have also appreciated her advice on developmental matters such as weaning, potty training, sleep routines, and other milestones. Her experience gives us confidence, and we feel certain that if she ever had concerns about our son’s development, she would raise them promptly and professionally.
Our son genuinely enjoys spending time with her. She has a dedicated playroom with a wide range of toys and activities, and over the years we have seen her regularly update and expand her resources to keep the children engaged and interested.
We particularly value the detailed daily records she keeps, including activities, meals, sleep times, and nappy changes. This level of organisation gives parents a clear picture of their child’s day and demonstrates her professionalism and attention to detail.
We highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and reliable childminder. We have been extremely happy with the care she has provided and feel very fortunate to have found her.
We cannot recommend LeighAnne highly enough. She has cared for our son for the past two years and has been absolutely wonderful.
She has cared for him with so much love, patience and kindness, and knowing he was happy, safe and so well looked after gave us complete peace of mind. She has supported not only our son but our whole family, always being there with reassurance, advice and a listening ear.
She is truly a credit to her profession and goes above and beyond in everything she does. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as such an important part of our sons early years.
Although he is moving on to nursery, we are so grateful she will continue to be part of our lives through our daughter. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
We honestly cannot recommend Catherine highly enough. ❤️
Johnny started with Catherine when he was just 1 year old and stayed with her until he was nearly 3, when he moved on to preschool. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and settled.
Before Johnny even started, Catherine took time out of her own life to meet us at the park so that Johnny could get to know her and build a relationship with her. Settling him with other childminders had been really difficult for us, so this meant more to us than she probably realised. It made such a difference and helped Johnny feel safe and happy in her care.
Johnny absolutely loved going to Catherine’s house and was always so excited for his days with her. He especially loved all the trips and adventures they went on, from soft play to visiting the farm. She gave him so many lovely experiences and opportunities to have fun, explore and learn, and we know he made so many wonderful memories along the way.
Catherine was also fantastic at supporting us with his development. When we started potty training at home, she worked alongside us and encouraged Johnny in exactly the same way while he was in her care. Having that consistency between home and the childminder made such a difference and we really appreciated the time and effort she put into helping him.
It was honestly quite emotional when the time came for Johnny to leave and start preschool, because Catherine had been such a big part of his life for nearly two years. Even now, after leaving, he still talks about her and remembers his time with her, which says everything about the special bond they shared. ❤️
We will always be incredibly grateful to Catherine for everything she did for Johnny and for the love, care, patience and encouragement she gave him. She wasn't just his childminder — she became someone who was genuinely very special to him and to our family.
Thank you for everything, Catherine. We couldn't have wished for anyone better to look after our little boy. ❤️
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful nanny for our son. She started looking after him when he was just 6 months old, and from the very beginning she has been absolutely amazing with him.
She is such a positive, energetic and caring person, and always keeps him active and engaged. She takes the time to play with him, take him out, explore new things and make sure his days are fun and stimulating. It has been lovely watching the bond between them grow, and it is very clear how comfortable and happy he is with her.
As a parent, having someone you genuinely trust with your baby means everything, and we have always felt completely comfortable knowing he is in her care. She is reliable, kind, patient and brings such lovely positive energy into our home.
We couldn't be happier with her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with children. ❤️

In September 2025, my daughter left CC’s to move to a preschool/nursery setting. However, after just a month, I quickly realised that it wasn’t the right fit for her, so we made the decision to return her to CC’s.
The trust that Claudine builds with both the children and parents is honestly unmatched. I wholeheartedly trust her and all the staff with my daughter, and I always knew she was in the best possible care. The team consistently goes above and beyond with the children’s daily activities, and you can see how much thought and effort goes into making sure they are not only fun but also support the children’s learning and development.
My daughter has now started school, but she constantly asks to go back to CC’s, which I think says everything. As a parent, CC’s has honestly been the best childcare experience I have had. I will always be grateful to Claudine and her team for the care, love and support they gave my daughter.
I couldn’t recommend CC’s enough! ❤️
We can’t praise Erica and her childcare enough. She is very caring and nurturing, and really seems to understand and tune into each child and what they need.
Our daughter (just turned 1 at the time) had quite bad separation anxiety, but Erica was amazing with her, but also with us as parents. She gave us so much support, guidance and little tips along the way, which made such a difference.
Erica always plans a range of fun and stimulating activities, with lots of activities that are genuinely great for the kids development, as well as lovely outings and excursions throughout the week. You can really see how passionate Erica is about children’s development and about creating a setting that is fun, engaging and educational at the same time.
One of the things we’ve loved about Erica’s setting that our daughter got to spend time with children of different ages, but still received more caring, individual attention compared with what she’d have received at a nursery.
We’ve been so happy with the care our daughter has received and would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for childcare. We feel very lucky to have found her.
Della is a wonderful childminder. She’s incredibly sweet, caring and clearly genuinely loves children. Our daughter is always very happy with her, and we love that Della takes her out to the park a lot and makes sure they get plenty of time outside.
She’s also really flexible and accommodating, which we appreciate so much as parents. We feel completely comfortable leaving our daughter with her and know she’s being looked after with lots of warmth and care. We’re so happy we found Della and would absolutely recommend her to other families!

My 21 month old has been going to Shelley for just under a year, he is thriving his speech is amazing and he is such a smart little boy … also can be very cheeky. During his time he has been on many days out and adventures, Shelley also does so much with him indoors … making cakes, pizza, water play, ice play in extreme heat we had, colouring, drawing and so much more.
Shelley provides a safe space and Jaxon has been very well looked after, he always has yummy food with Shelley.
I love being updated throughout the day via the Tiney app and Shelley is always reliable and efficient with her updates. Jaxon loves Shelley’s Tiney home and as his parent I highly recommend.
Thank you for all you do and we look forward to Jaxon thriving even more whilst in your care.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sumer to look after our son. Leaving your little one with someone else for the first time is never easy, but from the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. What we love most is how genuinely caring and attentive she is with him. She has taken the time to understand his little personality, his routines, what he likes and dislikes, and what makes him feel comfortable. It’s so lovely to see how happy and excited he is when he arrives now, and how settled he has become in her care.
She treats him with so much warmth, patience and affection, and we can really see the positive impact she has had on him. We also really appreciate the little updates and photos throughout the day, they mean so much to us and make us feel connected to what he’s been doing while we’re at work.
As parents, having someone we can completely trust with our child gives us such peace of mind. We never feel like he is simply being looked after, we know he is being cared for, encouraged, played with and loved.
Thank you so muc Sumera for all the care, patience and kindness you show our little boy. We genuinely couldn’t ask for someone better to be part of his early years. ❤️
Diana (or 'Dia), is an outstanding childminder. Dia always goes the extra mile to care for my little boy. She has a natural gift for looking after children. Dia knows exactly how to talk to children, she is warm, friendly and approachable. My little boy really enjoys seeing her. He likes to tell us (myself and my partner) how he has spent his time with her playing games and reading books, singing nursery rhymes and having fun! Dia is trustworthy and reliable. She can be relied on to do the activities that are required to look after children, such as, oversight of their eating, toileting, bedtime routines etc. I cannot rate Dia highly enough, she really is fab!!

Choosing Daniela was the best decision I could have made. She is warm, kind and clearly very experienced with children. My daughter loved her immediately. She is someone you can trust from the very beginning, and we feel very lucky to have found her.

Our 2 year old has been with Nabila for almost a year and it’s has been wonderful ! Nabila is very calm and loving, making the children feel at ease and welcomed into her home and family. My son often says “ I love Nabila’s house and I love Nabila” and often asks to go on the weekends :-) She always has time to talk, is great at communicating and very quick at replying ! As working parents we appreciate her flexibility, and I feel at ease knowing my son is with her. She has been really helpful with coming up with creative ways to help support napping schedules for our very active busy brained son ! She seems to take everything in her stride and provides wonderful care.
Nabila clearly has excellent experience of the EYFS curriculum and comes up with fun and educational daily activities for the children to engage with from going the supermarket to learn about maths to exploring in nature and creating art. You can tell she loves her job, and the children feel this!
Overall, I cannot recommend Nabila enough! We are so grateful for her loving care and warm approach to all her interactions with us and her son.
Nabila has been absolutely brilliant with our twin toddler daughters. Finding childcare you can completely trust is always a worry, but Nabila immediately put my partner Sandra and me at ease with her warm, engaging, and professional approach.
She provides a fantastic, safe environment filled with great activities. It’s been wonderful to see how much our girls, have thrived and enjoyed their time in her care. Nabila is consistently reliable, communicates clearly with us, andpours her heart and soul into the work she does.
We cannot recommend her highly enough -to any parents looking for a dedicated and supportive childcare provider. She is a true five-star professional, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her! Although the girls are now at nursery we still use her services and consider her a friend.
Also, during a very difficult time when I lost my father earlier this year she was there for us in a way that went above and beyond. On our wedding day she looked after the girls and managed to get them dressed and to the wedding with no problems!
She is the best.

Marina was a lovely childminder and I was always really happy with the care she gave my daughter. I especially liked how inclusive her setting was. The children learned about different cultures, places and celebrations, and they were always doing something interesting.
They went out a lot, visited different places and learned about the world around them. I also really liked that Marina gave them healthy food and taught them little things like looking after their teeth and becoming more independent.
I am quite an anxious mum, so it meant a lot to me that Marina always kept me updated. She sent me pictures, told me where they had been, what my daughter had eaten, when she slept and woke up, and little things she had said or done during the day. I always felt like I knew how her day had gone.
Most importantly, my daughter was so happy there. She was always excited to go and have fun, and that made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I honestly wouldn’t have changed Marina for anybody else.
We had such a wonderful experience with Xenia! She was incredibly friendly, warm, and caring from the very beginning, and our 3-year-old absolutely loved spending time with her.
I was particularly impressed by how thoughtfully she planned activities for him. She included structured learning activities, such as helping him practise writing his name, while also making sure he had plenty of fun and active playtime. She took him to the park and soft play, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
It was clear that Xenia genuinely cares about children and knows how to keep them engaged, happy, and entertained. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our little one in her care.
I would highly recommend Xenia’s babysitting services to anyone looking for someone friendly, reliable, caring, and fantastic with children. We would definitely be happy to have her look after our little one again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I feel so lucky to have jade look after my little one, she has been great with her and they have what I would describe as a very special bond. Jade has also been very flexible when possible which helps a great deal! Lara loves going to Jade and on occasions grabs her shoes ready to go go go as Lara would say 🤣 the communication is really good as she sends pictures and small updates! For anyone whom is looking for someone to care for their child I would highly recommend
Brittany helped look after our toddler for about 9 months on Fridays. she was always timely and our boy loved having a friend on Fridays to explore with. our boy is particularly high energy and they spent the full day out and about at softplay and at parks, which is exactly what he needed. he always slept extremely well that evening which is a sign of a good day!
he was around 18 months old when Brittany started and quickly became one of Felix’s favourite days when he knew she was coming!
I’d highly recommended.

Maria has been looking after our son Alex (1 year and 1 month old) and we couldn’t be happier.
After a difficult experience in a nursery environment that left Alex unsettled, we made the decision to remove him and place him with Maria. It has made such a positive difference.
Maria is warm, patient, and genuinely caring.
Alex has settled beautifully with her and now looks forward to his days. The setting is calm, clean, and safe, with a lovely mix of play, outdoor time, and gentle routines that suit his age perfectly.
Maria is excellent at communicating with us – we always receive clear updates about his day, meals, naps, and progress.
She has helped rebuild Alex’s confidence after the nursery experience and treats him with real kindness and understanding.
We feel completely reassured leaving him in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Maria to any parent looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, and professional childminder.
Thank you, Maria, for everything you do for Alex.
