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 feel so lucky to have found Pauline. My son has been with her for two years now and absolutely loves the time he spends there each week. She has such a warm, calm manner which really puts both children and parents at ease. I love that they spend so much time outdoors and are always doing a variety of fun and engaging activities. It’s clear how much care and thought she puts into what she does. Archie looks forward to going each week. She really does go above and beyond for both me and my son.
My son absolutely loves the days he spends with Sophie and Pauline! He has come on leaps and bounds with his speech and language whilst being here, amongst other things. They are always there to give any advice if needed, he is now fully potty trained and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without their help and support. Any incidents are always reported straight away and the day to day activities are always posted on the app, which is great for my peace of mind and it’s always nice seeing what they get up to throughout the day. I would highly recommend Sophie’s little stars to everyone x
Susie has been looking after our daughter since she was 9 months old, and she is now almost 3. We are beyond impressed with Susie and feel incredibly lucky to have had her as our daughter’s childminder.
From the beginning, we wanted a “home-from-home” environment while our daughter was so young, and that is exactly what Susie has provided. She always plans engaging outdoor activities and fun trips, which our daughter absolutely loves.
One of the things that initially drew us to Susie was her enthusiasm for providing meals that are varied, balanced, and healthy - something she constantly delivers.
Most importantly, our little girl is so happy in Susie’s care and has made some wonderful friends. It’s clear to see that she feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely enjoys her time there. That peace of mind means everything to us.
We really couldn’t recommend Susie highly enough and if we ever have another child, we’ll definitely be back!
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful childminder. From the very beginning, she created such a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where our child felt completely happy and secure.
She always went above and beyond to provide a wide range of fun, engaging activities and enriching experiences, making every day exciting and stimulating. We especially appreciated how often she took the children out and about, whether it was trips to local playgroups, outdoor adventures, or meet-ups with other childminders.
It’s clear how much genuine care and dedication she puts into what she does. Knowing our child was not only safe but also thriving, learning, and having so much fun gave us complete peace of mind.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable, and truly exceptional childminder.
I just want to share how happy i am with the care my 7 year old son recieves from Kadijah. From the very beginning, she has been reliable, kind and so supportive.
She picks him up from school and looks after him in a safe and nurturing environment. It really gives me peace of mind knowing hes happy, well looked after and comfortable in her care . He always comes home smiling and enjoys his time there which says everything.
She is very approachable,keeps good communication, and clearly cares about the children she looks after. I truly appreciate the way she cares for him and looks after him.
I would highly reccomend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and caring childminder.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing childminder. Both of my boys have been in her care, and I honestly can’t put into words how much they adore her. They are always talking about her at home, can’t wait to go back, and even get upset when they can’t … which says everything. She creates such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where children truly thrive.
As a parent, trust is everything, and I have complete confidence in her. She genuinely cares about each child as an individual, and it shows in how much my boys have grown in confidence and development during their time with her.
Her communication is fantastic, and I absolutely love receiving photo updates throughout the day … it’s so reassuring and special to see what they’ve been up to.
Carolyn goes above and beyond every single day, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare. We are so grateful for everything she has done for our family.
I would like to say a huge thank you for all the care and effort you put into looking after my daughter.
I feel very reassured knowing she is with you. The environment is always clean, safe and well organised and it’s clear how much attention you give to every detail.
I really appreciate that she has her naps on time, which has made a big difference for her (and for me!).
Even though my daughter is very attached to me and this was her first experience being away from me, she is always happy and comfortable with you, which means everything to me.
Thank you for your kindness, patience, support and genuine care.
Patricia looked after my 9- and 12-year-old children for two weeks, and her impact was outstanding. Patient, engaging, and highly skilled in teaching, she built a genuine connection with them while significantly improving their understanding of expressions, spelling, and grammar.
She has a natural ability to make learning both effective and enjoyable. I would confidently recommend Patricia as a tutor for children of all ages.
My two children have been cared for by Rita since she started Growing Smiles. One of my children was struggling to settle at our previous childcare setting but within a couple of weeks she was settled at Rita’s which made me feel much more at ease. Both my children have flourished in confidence, they are always excited to tell me about their day and at weekends they even ask me if they are going to Rita’s! The set up is brilliant and the activities are innovative. My children are learning lots too and often come home having learnt new skills or facts. I couldn’t fault Rita and her assistant Chloe at all, I highly recommend their childcare services!
I have two children, both of which have attended Honeybee's. My daughter is still with Amy and has been for 3 years. Amy is such a natural with the children & has the patience of a saint. I was a very anxious mom in the beginning and I'd never left my children with anyone, even family, but Amy was so reassuring and caring - I've never had to worry about them being there.
Amy goes out of her way to create an amazing environment for the children. She does such amazing things with them & they are always learning new things!
The new outdoor setting is so lovely and my daughter really thrives being outdoors so it's perfect for her!
My children absolutely adore Amy and she's has been so supportive for me as a parent too.
I am so glad I found Amy and chose to send my children to Honeybee's ❤️
We have been to view Korin’s Tiny Tots and were blown away with the set up and the enrichment opportunities available for my children. From Montessori learning, quiet safe spaces, inclusivity and inviting opportunities to learn through play both inside and outdoors this setting has covered it all. My children did not want to leave. Korin was so welcoming and friendly and my children felt immediately at ease and ready to explore.
Amara has been attending Tamara’s coming up to 6months now. I thought it would take long for my daughter to settle but she settle in very well.
Since starting with Tamara, my daughter has absolutely thrived. She provides nutritious, varied meals. The children are out every day exploring - woods, libraries, playgroups, parks, and local attractions. It’s not babysitting, it’s genuine early years enrichment. During the day she sends photos of stuff that your child has done throughout the day. What I also love most is that because my daughter has learnt so much, she brings it home with her too. Such as “Holding hands/buggy handle” when we’re out.
Most importantly, my daughter feels safe and loved there she’s always talking about her friends that attends Tamara’s. She’s so settled that some mornings she runs straight in without a backward glance or a goodbye. As a mama, that’s all you want - to know they’re happy when you’re not there 😊.
I trust Tamara completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any parent.
Thank you so much.

Our daughter has been with Ann for the past year, starting just after she turned one, and she’s now 2. In that time, the difference in her confidence, speech, and overall development has been amazing to see. Ann creates such a warm, nurturing environment that our daughter settled in quickly and now genuinely looks forward to her days there.
She absolutely loves the variety of activities Ann plans—especially the arts and crafts, messy play, and little themed days, which have really helped spark her creativity and curiosity. We’ve also noticed a huge improvement in her social skills, as Ann encourages gentle interaction and sharing in a really supportive way.
Ann has been incredible when it comes to routines and consistency, especially with things like early potty training and daily structure. She’s always kept us in the loop and worked alongside us so everything feels seamless between home and her setting.
Honestly, we couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Ann goes above and beyond, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. We feel completely at ease knowing our daughter is happy, safe, and thriving in her care.
Marianne was looking after my daughter for over a year and a half and my daughter loved going to Marianne’s.
My daughter loved the days out, walks, and all the activities at Marianne’s house.
A home from home experience and I would highly recommend Marianne for your little one!
We are extremely happy with the care our daughter receives at Honeybees. Amy and the whole team are truly exceptional, creating a nurturing, supportive, and engaging environment for the children.
The range of opportunities and experiences provided is outstanding. We particularly value the strong emphasis on outdoor learning—our daughter spends plenty of time outside rather than being indoors all day, and the forest school that Amy has developed is fantastic. It has made such a positive impact on her confidence, independence, and overall enjoyment of learning. The benefits of this hands-on, outdoor approach are invaluable.
In addition, the variety of extra clubs and activities on offer further enriches the children’s experience, making every day exciting and different.
Most importantly, the level of care is excellent. Our daughter is consistently happy, well looked after, and clearly thriving. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and caring hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Honeybees to other parents.
We couldn't be happier with Delane and I can't emphasise enough how much we'd recommend her services!
Delane currently looks after our 6 month year old and does a fantastic job.
The setting is great, the Comms are always clear (with lots of nice updates through the day), our son loves being there, and it's clear he has a stimulating and enjoyable time whilst there.
I cannot recommend HoneyBees & WildFlowers Nursery and Kindergarten enough! My two children are so happy here and genuinely look forward to their time with her every day. I was particularly worried about my Elizabeth, who has always found it very difficult to settle with anyone new. Amy was so patient, kind, and professional during those early days. Now, my little one absolutely loves going there! It’s such a weight off my mind knowing they are both safe, having fun, and so well cared for.
Thank you, Amy&Hayley 🥰
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such fantastic childminders. Our daughter has been attending Nicola and Colin’s setting since she was just 9 months old and is now 3 years old. She has loved every minute, and drop-offs have always been easy because she’s so excited to be greeted by Nicola, see her friends, and find out what’s on the day’s agenda. She has also made some lovely friends during her time there and has built a wonderful bond with Nicola and Colin.
Nicola provides daily updates via WhatsApp and frequently takes the children on a variety of outings, including playgroups, the forest, the park, play cafés, the farm, and more. At home, they also offer a wide range of engaging activities that support learning, creativity, and development, ensuring the children are always stimulated and happy.
It really is a home-from-home environment, and our daughter has gained so much and learned so much during her time there. We couldn’t recommend Nicola and Colin more highly.
Rachel is warm and inviting, her home is set up perfectly for children. She is our current provider and we are incredibly happy. She has made the transition from mat leave to giving my son to someone else to care for during the day very easy. He is happy, safe and thriving in her care. They go to the zoo, museums, soft plays, parks and more. She gives updates during the day along with photos. I cannot recommend her enough.
We could not be happier with the care Claire offers. Our little boy has been thriving since starting child care here and he loves going there and it makes going to work easier knowing he is having fun. Every day Claire takes them out, does different activities and is so caring and attentive with Lorenzo.
I love that Claire challenges Lorenzo and it's really helped him develop with his speech and skills in general. The daily updates/photos from Claire makes my day.
The space is exactly how described, it is home from home. It is clean, plenty of space indoor and outdoor to play and there are loads of toys.
We could not be happier and would highly recommend Claire. From the first settling in session, Lorenzo was so comfortable at Claire's and it was lovely to see him at ease. I love that is a smaller group and I feel this suits our little one. Also every time we now pick Lorenzo up he never wants to leave, which again shows me how much he loves it at Claire's.
