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.
You start a conversation with her, and then she completely ignores you. She initially replied, “Hi, thank you for your message. I am available evenings and weekends at the moment. Is this of any help to you? ” I responded, she read it and then nothing. Quite frustrating, and honestly a bit unreliable!
Ilona was our very first childcare experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better start. From day one, she put in tremendous effort to help our son settle — even during those difficult early weeks when sleep was a real challenge. She took him to her garden, organised outdoor activities, and made every day feel like an adventure. Her warmth meant our son quickly came to see her as family — he still mentions her name all the time!
What truly sets Ilona apart is how much she goes the extra mile. She celebrated every season with the children — helping our son make heartfelt cards for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, organising an Easter egg hunt, and arranging a magical Christmas Santa visit. These thoughtful touches created memories he will carry for years.
Sadly, Ilona is leaving London, which is the only reason our son is moving on — we would have happily kept him with her right up until primary school. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family.
Dawn is amazing with my daughter. She offers a clean and safe environment as well as giving her full dedication to the children.
My daughter is usually very anxious about being in a new place, but after day one she had settled and was always excited to go back to Dawn.
The day is usually spent doing activities, playing, days out and also time for the kids to relax and have some down time.
CabinCubs has been a home away from home for my little girl.
We are delighted with the care our child has received at Tambies Raising Stars (TRS) over the past five months, and we would not hesitate to recommend Jo to anyone looking for a kind, caring and nurturing childminder.
Choosing the right childcare was a very important decision for us, as it is for any parent, and Jo came highly recommended by a friend whose children had attended her setting. After our initial visit, we immediately felt so comfortable — Jo has created a lovely, cosy environment with both indoor and outdoor space where children can learn, play and feel at home.
The settling-in process was very well planned and thoughtful, and our son has taken part in a wide range of activities which he really enjoys. Jo also keeps us updated every day, which was especially reassuring during the settling-in period when drop-offs can sometimes be a little emotional. It’s very comforting to know how his day has gone and what he has been doing.
We really couldn’t ask for anything more and would struggle to find anyone more caring and loving to look after our child. People often say they treat the children in their care like their own, but with Jo we truly believe this is the case.
I am very happy to recommend Nina as a night nanny. She worked with our family for a week or so
after the birth of our son while my wife was recovering from labour.
Nina was always punctual and completely reliable. From the first night, it was clear that she is
extremely knowledgeable and experienced with newborn care. She not only took excellent care of
our son but also shared helpful advice and guidance with us as new parents, which we greatly
appreciated.
Nina was wonderful with our son and handled his night-time care calmly and confidently. At the end
of each night she provided a clear report of his feeds and nappy changes, which gave us real peace
of mind. She was also very considerate during the night, keeping things quiet so we could rest, and
she always washed up and left things tidy before leaving.
On top of her professionalism, Nina is a very friendly and personable individual who was a pleasure
to have in our home during such an important time for our family.
I would highly recommend Nina to any family looking for a reliable, experienced, and caring night
nanny.
Juliette has been amazing with my son. He was behind in his maths and needed some extra help. We’ve been with Juliette for a few months now and already school have stated his making good progress in maths! My son has ADHD which can cause him to not be as focused or concentrate but Juliette has been able to keep him interested and active in a full hours lesson. She has a lot of patience and really works on what the child needs to work on it’s the 1-1 focus that’s really helping my son. I will continue to use this private tutoring my son really enjoys it every week.
Milly has so far been superb
She came to the rescue in a very short notice. My kids loved her from the first session. She is reliable, very pleasant and polite.
Has been flexible and very accommodating to last minute request.
I know my kids are not only in safe hands but also not bored when looked after by Milly.
Kelly has looked after our three children for almost four years and has been with our daughter since she was born.
We have absolute trust in her and consider her part of the family. I enjoy how positive, punctual and reliable she is. She has brilliant knowledge about what’s on where throughout the year and has game fully swept the children off for days out all over the county.
My children feel completely safe, understood and cared for with her and she has helped us through all the tricky milestones like weaning, potty training and adjusting to nursery/school.
She has such vast experience looking after children of all ages, there really isn’t anything she can’t handle. When the children have had difficult days or awkward phases, she’s listened and helped and cheered them up.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kelly.

Sinem was my 2 years old daughter babysitter for 2 months. she always showed up on time, kept my daughter engaged in nice activities and happy throughout the time she was here. she kept innovating smart activities for my daughter, helped her develop her skills. she is a very dedicated and passionate person. she knows how to deal with toddlers and manage their tantrums and emotions. she kept my daughter happy even on days my daughter had a fever. I highly and fully recommend Sinem, we will miss her.
Rosarii is truly wonderful! Our son started going to Rosarii when he was 2 years old and he absolutely loved his time with her. He is always happy and excited to see Rosarii and is so excited to tell me what he has been up too while he’s been there. I would highly recommend Rosarii if you are looking for a childminder. She is the most patient, kind and caring person and her home is such a nice setting for the children. It really is a home from home for them. Rosarii cooks wonderful food from scratch, sourced from her allotment garden and the children love going to pick vegetables with her. Thank you for the wonderful memories of his time with you.
Beverly was very professional from the very beginning she emailed me relevant documents first aid qualifications dbs checks. We held a visit to Beverly’s home where me and my children felt very welcome!! Beverly’s home was very clean and very safe. Beverly was exceptional with my children nearly (3) and (1) year old Beverly was very flexible and was able to change time of pick up very reliable and very professional I am so glad I found Beverly!!!! I would highly recommend Beverly
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tabita for over a year now, this is actually our second year together, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better nanny.
She is absolutely amazing: kind, patient, reliable, and truly caring. She has built such a lovely bond with my child and always goes above and beyond to make sure the kid is happy, safe and engaged. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing she is in such good hands.
She brings so much warmth and positivity every day and we feel incredibly lucky to have her as part of our lives. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful.
Thank you for everything you do 💛
Florence is an exceptional and completely trustworthy childminder. My son, who has special educational needs (SEN), thrived while in her care. She provided consistent support with homework and reading and always went the extra mile by offering additional activities tailored to his needs and interests.
Her facilities are excellent, with a wide range of educational toys and books, a large and safe play area, a sizeable garden, and even a trampoline, which my son particularly enjoyed. Florence also provides well‑balanced, nutritious meals, which gave me real peace of mind.
I would highly recommend Florence to any parent, especially those looking for a childminder who is nurturing, attentive, and genuinely invested in a child’s development.
We had a wonderful experience with Chyanne. She was absolutely lovely—kind, patient, and very attentive. My daughter adored her from the moment they met, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with children and knows how to keep them happy and engaged. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to other parents.
