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.
Amy is a passionate and dedicated practitioner who clearly cares deeply about each child’s individual journey. She demonstrates a strong understanding of the importance of early development, supporting young minds with patience, warmth, and enthusiasm. At the same time, she remains mindful of safeguarding, structure, and the professional standards expected within an early years setting.
Over the past few years, Amy has been a consistent and valued presence for our family. She has supported our children, now aged 5 and 18 months, with kindness, encouragement, and genuine care. Her ability to build trusting relationships with children is evident—if you ask our daughter Mollie (5) about Amy, she will simply tell you that she is “good and kind,” which speaks volumes.
We wholeheartedly recommend Amy. She has been amazing for our family, and we have every confidence that she will continue to positively impact the lives of the children she works with.
Nataly has been a huge help, especially when we've needed childcare for our two children. She is caring, reliable and has a natural ability to connect with children and understand their needs. They love spending time with her, and we've always had complete peace of mind knowing they were in safe and capable hands.
Over the past two years, Nataly has become much more than our nanny; she has become a wonderful friend to our family.
She always plans lovely activities such as library visits, picnics, and crafts. Our children are always happy and smiling when we come home, which shows how much they enjoy their time with her!
I’ve used Ana many times to support myself and my daughters. She is fantastic, I feel like she doesn’t look after my children, she looks after us as a whole family. She got to know my children and knew what to bring and what activities to plan to cater to their interests and their needs. She feels like part of the family whenever she’s with us. Thank you Ana so much. I’d very much recommend Ana’s services.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Little Explorers. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly warm, caring, and supportive, making the transition into nursery so much easier for our little boy, Jack.
The team genuinely care about every child and create such a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and build confidence. Jack has come on so much since starting—his social skills, communication, and independence have all developed wonderfully, and it's lovely to see how excited he is to go each day.
The activities are always creative and engaging, and it's clear that a lot of thought and effort goes into helping the children explore, learn, and enjoy themselves. The communication with parents is excellent too, and we always feel well informed about Jack's day and his progress.
A huge thank you to everyone at Little Explorers for everything you do. It's such a comforting feeling knowing Jack is so well cared for and genuinely happy. We would highly recommend Little Explorers to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and inspiring nursery. I am truly going to miss little explorers xx
Stella has looked after our 6 year old daughter two days a week after school til 6pm this term. Our daughter is completely at home at Stella s and loves playing in the spacious and clean living room with a range of toys, as well as the all important garden and trampoline. Stella is calm, patient and positive. Our daughter is so at home here we struggle to get her to leave! Stella really helped us out at short notice and we are forever grateful:)

Lynda makes children comfortable, happy and cater their needs. She is very good at what she does and follow the EYFS curriculum. My toddler has been attending and she is doing well and thriving.
Sending our Son to Kaneezs' was the best decision we have ever made. She has taught him a whole range of skills from sharing, independence to self belief and an abundance of confidence.
She is really flexible and accommodating to parents which is self assuring.Her setting is also bright, clean and inviting.
Our Son has spent nearly three years with Marta and the team at Over the Rainbow, and I can honestly say they have been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, they welcomed him with genuine warmth, patience, and joy the kind of care you hope for but rarely find.
They have supported every milestone with such dedication: potty training, counting, alphabet, social skills, confidence, independence all nurtured with love and expertise. He has grown into the most wonderful, curious, kind little boy, and so much of that is thanks to the environment they created around him.
As he transitions into school, we feel nothing but gratitude. Marta has made every step feel calm, supported, and thoughtfully planned. She always chose the easier path for us, guiding us with reassurance and experience.
We owe this team so much. They have shaped my Sons early years in the most beautiful way, and we will forever be thankful for the care, love, and magic they poured into him.
A big thank you to the whole team for being so supportive, patient and caring with Léo.
As a first-time mum, I was very nervous about how Léo would settle into school, but he adapted so quickly. It makes me so happy to see that he loves going to school and that he even misses it when he doesn’t go.
Thank you to everyone who looks after Léo every day and helps make school such a happy and safe place for him.
A very special thank you to Shirley. Léo absolutely loves your cuddles and affection.
Thank you so much to Rebeca for all the love and care you give to Léo.
A big thank you to Beth for always being so sweet with him.
And a very special thank you to Katie and Danielle for all your support, care and attention with our little boy.
I am truly grateful to have such a lovely team looking after Léo while I am at work. I really appreciate everything you all do for him.
With love and gratitude,
Danielle & Alex
I cannot recommend Alpana highly enough! I say Alpana is a high end childminder — she is the kind of caring, knowledgeable and nurturing person every parent hopes to find for their child.
From the very beginning, she has taken such thoughtful and loving care of my daughter Ayla. Alpana has created a calm, homely, warm and stimulating environment where children feel safe, valued and free to explore. Her approach is truly child-led: she takes the time to understand my child’s interests, personality and stage of development, then builds learning and play around that.
Alpana is incredibly creative and always enthusiastic about preparing games, activities and resources that help children learn through play. You can see how much joy she takes in supporting children’s development!
Her food is also excellent — nutritious, varied and made with real care. As a parent, it is such a comfort to know that my child is not only being looked after, but also being nourished properly.
What makes her especially unique is the depth of knowledge she brings. She understands so much about holistic health, child development, child psychology, education and wellbeing, and she is also certified in homeopathy. This gives her care a truly rounded and thoughtful quality. She notices the little things, responds with patience and wisdom, and always brings both professionalism and heart to what she does.
Alpana is always willing to help, always kind, and genuinely committed to supporting children and families. I often think she is ‘the village’ we all need — caring, capable, wise and full of warmth. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her in their child’s life.
We couldn't have asked for a more amazing childminder for our son over the past three years. Sonia has provided a true home-from-home environment where he has felt loved, happy and safe every single day, while helping him learn and grow, preparing him so well for his next chapter at school. He absolutely adores her, and we've loved seeing him enjoy and help prepare home-cooked meals, fun activities, trips to the park and so many wonderful experiences. We will always be grateful for the care, dedication and genuine love Sonia has shown our son, and we couldn't recommend her highly enough.
Sonia you are amazing and we Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for our little boy ❤️
Millie91 is a very loving and friendly childminder and really cares about our daughter, which has been so special for us. She settled in really well and always enjoys her time with Millie91 and her other little friends there, whether it's playing in the house or a trip out and about. Millie91 has been helpful as we've potty trained our daughter and we've also really appreciated her flexibility. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our daughter's early years!
Lisa has been our childminder for 3 years with our son for 4 days a week. Lisa has a beautiful home and garden, she is very kind and loving and our son loves spending time with her. I'd thoroughly recommend her if you are looking for a childminder we couldn't be happier.

Maherah has been an amazing childminder for my 8-month-old baby boy. This was his very first childcare setting, so naturally I was a little nervous, but Maherah made the whole experience so reassuring.
She is incredibly kind, caring, and looked after my son as if he were her own. I never had to worry while I was at work because I always knew he was in safe, loving hands. She created a warm and nurturing environment where he was happy and well cared for.
Her daycare is spacious, clean, and provides a wonderful space for babies and children to play, learn, and grow.
We have now moved out of the area, but if we ever move back, Maherah will be the first person I contact. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional childminder.
I was quite anxious leaving my twins with anyone but they met Mohini and her Team this transition was so smooth and just meant to be. Both my children are always so happy and content when dropped off, and we love updates of their activities plus the artwork they bring home which they've enjoyed doing during the day. With storytelling and singing activities throughout from the age of 1 Mohini has boosted and encouraged my children to absorb more and more and we see this constant development in them. The environment is warm, safe, and truly feels like a second home. Incredibly professional and reliable, she and her team always go the extra mile to support you when you need it. Whether it's accommodating a slightly earlier drop-off or helping and advice about specific developmental stages, they have been a massive support throughout. Highly recommend Mohini to anyone looking for attentive and caring childcare and much more.
Rahena is exactly what our daughter needed as she struggled with separation anxiety. Nura warmed to her gentle and calming nature from the start.
Rahena approached Nura with great patience and offered constant cuddles to settle her.
I felt at ease whilst Nura was in Rahena’s care as she has consistently kept up communications about Nura’s well being throughout the day.
She has also taken on board any requests that I have made with regard to Nura’s care and tried to implement to the best of her ability.
Our daughter is now happily playing and there is no end to the variety of activities that Nura engages in.
It is clear that Rahena has given a lot of thought into creating the perfect environment for little ones to be stimulated and to flourish.
Rahena comes with my highest recommendation as she is very easy going and accommodating when dealing with us as parents and also very nurturing and caring towards our daughter.

Andrea has been my daughter Flossie’s childminder since she was just one year old, and she is now six. We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better person to care for her.
Floss absolutely adores Andrea and still asks to go to her during every school holiday, which says everything about the wonderful relationship they have built over the years. Andrea creates such a warm, caring and fun environment where children feel happy, safe and valued.
She plans a fantastic range of activities at home and regularly takes the children on outings to local parks and other places, ensuring they are always engaged, active and having fun. Floss especially loves the food Andrea provides and always comes home happy and full of stories about her day.
One of the loveliest things has been seeing the friendships Floss has made through Andrea. Many of the children have been attending for years, which is a real testament to the exceptional care she provides.
Andrea is reliable, nurturing, professional and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. She has been such an important part of our daughter’s life, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough she truly is the best.
Our son has been with Lisa since being 18 months old- 2.5 years. Lisa has been fantastic. She has always been accommodating, especially as I work different shifts each week. Lisa is very kind and provided our son with a caring environment within her own home. She also visited local parks and playgroups, and also encouraged them in creative play such as painting and crafts.
Lisa was also amazing at updating us throughout the day with pictures and messages.
Our son settled very quickly with Lisa and used to enjoy going. We are only changing childcare setting as we have moved area, Lisa will be missed very much! Thank you

My 2 year old son has been cared for by Zehra and her team for a year and he has come so far in that time. Before starting he was very clingy to us and wouldn't usually go to anyone he didn't know. After his first day here he came out so happy and has loved it ever since. Every morning he gets excited and can't wait to get there and every evening when we collect him he comes out so happy. The progress he has made this last year has been incredible his social skills and communication has improved so much. He's made lots of little friends too.
One of the hardest things for a parent is putting your trust in to others caring for them and I can honestly say as soon as I met Zehra I knew she was the most loveliest, friendly caring person and we are so lucky we found her to look after our baby. And she doesn't just care about the kids she cares about us as parents too...I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for the best childcare ever!!!
