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 child is currently with Hollie. She’s quite shy around people however ever since her first day she’s ran out to her with open arms. She absolutely loves Hollie. She’s everything you’d want in a childminder. I never have any worries or concerns and know that my child will have the best time with her and always be safe.
Erika has been a wonderful nanny to my 8 year old twins over the past year. Both of which have autism and ADHD. She is kind, patient, and also clear with boundary setting. Her responsibilities include picking them up from school, doing activities which can be going for a walk or to the playground or arts and crafts, making dinner and bath time. Erika often brings along her little one, which is a great balance and they all have a lovely time together playing. I do a weekly menu, which Erika helps with and adds flair and fun as a talented cook. She is also a creative person, with face painting and drawing talents she shares with children. As a nanny Erika is extremely reliable and flexible. She is also a trained Slovak primary school teacher, and brings all those skills and experience to the role. She’s been a wonderful influence on the children and we hope she will stay in our lives for ad hoc support when needed.

We first needed Lorraine in 2021 when our son was 6 months old. We couldn’t have been happier for our children to be under her care. Our eldest is now in school but our second one is still going to Lorraine’s during the day. She is thoughtful, responsive and a wealth of knowledge and advice. Both of our children adore her and we do too.
We prefer a home setting for our young ones up until preschool. Lorraine’s home is safe, accessible and has everything your child needs. She provides healthy snacks and meals and interactive learning. Our son loves going to playgroup most days and it’s incredible the clever connections and skills he has picked up in his time with Lorraine and the other children. I cannot recommend her enough.
Louise is everything you could want in a childminder, she is truly brilliant at her job. Nurturing, professional and always reliable, she has inspired me with her confidence which has helped me navigate my time as a first time parent. While in Louise's care, my child has blossomed, she has a clear gift in understanding children and their needs, I'm so grateful to her and what she has given our family.

Regina has come into our home and brought with her an energy we all love. She currently cares for two of my children, one of which has Autism.
Regina is Caring, makes sure the children have all they need, completes the school pick up at times, prepares food, bath time, even putting them to bed when needed. She really takes care of everything.
The kids have taken to Regina very well. She has become part of our family. I would highly recommend Regina if you are looking for someone who childcare is a passion not just a paycheck.
We could not have hoped for a better childminder than Kaelee (whom we came across by coincidence as her space is on our street). Our daughter would go to her setting first for 15 and then 20 hours a week. It was the first time our then 10-month-old daughter spent significant time with someone she didn’t previously know and within just two days it was very obvious that she had formed a strong bond with Kaelee and feels completely at ease. Kaelee takes great care to truly get to know a child and their needs — as well as to report back to the parents. Every week brings new activities, trips and learning experiences, again closely tailored to the child’s interests and to what is going on in the wider world. It has been a true delight to see what our daughter has been up to. Kaelee has also been very flexible in working around our schedule. We can only recommend her thoughtful and dedicated care: we feel that the three months with Kaelee have ideally prepared our little girl for starting full-time nursery. Thanks a lot!
Nicole came to stay with us for a couple of weeks when our son was just a few days old. He was an incredibly unsettled baby, and we were absolutely exhausted. Nicole was wonderful from the moment she arrived. She was calm, kind and clearly very experienced, and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our newborn in her care. She helped us with feeding, settling and swaddling, and offered lots of practical advice and reassurance without ever making us feel overwhelmed or judged. Having her there made those difficult early days so much more manageable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other parents.
Blocked me everywhere after an invoice was paid and told me a story of her being unwell, telling me she’d let me know as soon as she’ll know more. I’ve been thinking of her ever since, even thought I’d bring her food to help heal but I see her online here yet on WhatsApp I’m blocked, here too. I’ve checked every avenue and her profile being now updated with new availability.
I’m ok if she changed her mind after a month and didn’t want to continue to work for what’s reason. Maybe the fact that I asked not to use the phone to watch tv shows during work hours or maybe to keep nails short… I honestly am so confused.
All it was needed was a simple conversation that she was no longer interested. Instead, I’ve been without help for almost 2 weeks. In the last messages she said she wouldn’t want to leave me without help, mind boggling the level of deceit!! I thought she was such a sweet young lady, even fed her when we had longer shifts but my trust has been so betrayed and I now doubt if she was not truthful when I left her on her own with my 6 month old baby. I wish her well but if she didn’t like it she could just tell me not create stories about hospital, promising things and now hiding behind block option. So so unprofessional especially given the type of work! Can’t be trusted.
I would definitely recommend Lorena! ❤️ My daughter has been going to her setting for nearly 4 months now, and she is always so happy there.
Lorena and her assistant Jim are both lovely, caring and really good with the children. I love the way they run the setting and all the activities they organise to help the little ones learn and develop.
It’s such a lovely feeling knowing my daughter is happy and well looked after while we’re at work.
We’re really happy with Lorena and Jim, and so glad we found them! ❤️😊

I highly recommend Shabana(Hanifa Syed) as a nanny. She helped care for my toddler and newborn twins, providing both overnight care and some daytime support. She was caring, patient, attentive and very supportive throughout.
She has a lovely way with children, especially my toddler. She enjoys singing with the children and takes the time to engage with them, including taking my toddler to the park for outdoor activities.
She was also very hands-on with the newborn twins, assisting with bottle feeding, burping, settling them and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for throughout the night.
She is warm, gentle, dependable and genuinely good with children. I would happily recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring and attentive nanny.

Our kids have been with Lorraine since 2022 and she has always been amazing. We have never had any problems with her and our kids love her so much. They go to playgroup every day, but Lorraine also stimulates them at home, doing activities, dancing, singing and playing. She is very loving and caring and she is not afraid of having very small kids. She is just the best!
Tania welcomed my son with open arms. Initially cried on his first days cause he was not used. Tania reassured me he will be fine.after a few checkins my son was the one knocking on Tania’s door . She is amazing with kids .Her place is very neat well organised .a place you will want your child to be. Communicates well with parents ,gives you updates as well.
For the whole period of time that Haifa came around, I had peace of mind knowing that my 4 year old was in good hands. He always asked about her on the days she wasn’t coming in, and didn’t want her to leave on the days she did; that was proof enough for me to trust her. I would one hundred percent recommend the services she has got to offer!
