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.
I couldn't be happier with the care my little boy receives. He started with her when he was just 4 months old, so naturally I was quite anxious about leaving him so young. She made the whole transition so much easier with her kindness, professionalism, and reassurance.
She has been incredibly flexible with my unusual work schedule, which has been such a huge help. Every day he comes home smiling, happy, and clearly well looked after, which gives me complete peace of mind.
One of the things I appreciate most is the regular photos, videos, and updates throughout the day. It's so reassuring to see what he's been up to, what he's eaten, and how he's getting on. It really helps you feel connected, even when you're apart.
She is warm, caring, reliable, and genuinely invested in the children she looks after. I feel very lucky to have found her, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and nurturing childminder.

I cannot recommend Bright Beginnings Childminding highly enough. I’ve used Kaelee’s services on many occasions, and every single experience has been exceptional.
She is warm, caring, reliable, and incredibly professional. The children are always happy, safe, and engaged in fun, educational activities, and it’s obvious how much love and dedication she puts into what she does. She takes the time to understand each child’s individual needs, making every child feel valued and included.
Communication is excellent, she’s organised and dependable, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Knowing my children are in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about helping children grow, learn, and thrive, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bright Beginnings Childminding. Your little ones couldn’t be in better hands.
We couldn't be happier with the care our two girls receive at Oak Glen with Katie and her amazing team. It's so reassuring to know they are both in such a loving, nurturing environment where they are genuinely happy, thriving and so well cared for.
Our youngest absolutely loves being in the Oak Glen house with all her little friends and her cousin too! She has grown so much in confidence, her speech has come on leaps and bounds and she even signs "please" and "thank you." Every morning she walks into the house without even looking back for me, which says it all. She comes home full of smiles and I love receiving updates throughout the day about all the fun they're having, what they're playing with and everything they're learning.
Our eldest is in the 2–4-year house, which she also absolutely loves. She has made some lovely friendships and has built such strong relationships with both the staff and the other children. She learns so much that she surprises me every single day and her confidence has grown massively since joining Oak Glen.
We are so grateful to have found such amazing childminders. Katie and the whole team go above and beyond and we couldn't recommend them highly enough to any family looking for a warm, caring, supportive environment where their children can learn, grow and have lots of fun. Thank you for everything! ❤️
Our 8-year-old boy joined the After School Club this year, having been in a more commercial setting previously that closed down. He was immediately welcomed by the whole family and the other children, and was comforted by the calm, wholesome, and active environment that’s complemented by the animals kept at home.
Naynah has taken the time to invest in his development, encouraging him to try new foods and taking the time to understand his interests — indulging his enthusiasm for football (despite not being a footballing family) and even taking the time to come to his gala on the local moor to support him.
He’s also developed friendships with Naynah’s children that I hope will last a lifetime, and we cannot thank the family enough for the support and love they’ve shown our boy this year.
Our little boy Finley started with Shelley and Mike a few weeks ago. With my partner being in the army, and myself working full time- life can be very hectic. We had several let downs with a previous childminder which lead to me having several days off work.
Since Finley has been at Shelley’s, he’s had the best time, made some super new friends. They go over and above ensuring the children have fresh fruit and snacks throughout the day, as well as having a swimming pool and paddling pool set up for hot days in the garden for kids to enjoy.
Unfortunately when my partner is away, I have to drop our son off and collect him before and after work; which occasionally can mean I’m 10-20 minutes late collecting him due to traffic. There is never any problem or hassle here and they happily look after him until I can get there- which takes a lot of pressure off for us. Super grateful to have found such good childcare.. thank you guys

We’ve had Carlie for a good few months now, and I can honestly say she’s become like family to us. She is incredibly trustworthy, kind, patient, and so friendly. From day one, she’s treated our little one with genuine care and love, which has given us complete peace of mind.
She’s always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to help. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble for her, and her calm, caring nature makes such a difference. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys what she does.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and wonderful nanny. She has been absolutely perfect for our family.

Our daughter has been with Tess for a little while now and we’re so happy she is settled and enjoying her time in her setting. We tried a nursery to start and our daughter had a really rough time there and just wouldn’t settle at all, but only after a week with Tess, she was calmer and doing better after drop offs. Now she waves me off at the door!
We receive consistent updates which is really nice to have and appreciated.
Tess is calm, caring and always puts the children first, with activities, care, and nutritious meals/snacks.
She’s very accommodating which has been even more helpful with me returning to work. Her home is clean and always set up for the children when we arrive
Our daughter loves Tess and being in her care, and has really developed her social, verbal skills and is definitely learning more everyday.
Would definitely recommend!
I couldn’t recommend our childminder highly enough. She is such a caring, lovely, and kind person who genuinely treats every child as if they were her own. From the very beginning, she has made my son feel happy, safe, and loved, which has given us complete peace of mind.
She always provides a warm, welcoming environment and plans fun, engaging activities that have really helped my son’s confidence and development. It’s clear how passionate she is about what she does, and her patience and dedication shine through every day.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and caring. Thank you for everything you do!

I want to say thank you Zainab and her amazing team for taking such great care of both my daughters. They’ve created a safe, supportive space where my children feel happy and understood. I’m especially grateful for the patience and care they show my daughter with learning needs. We truly appreciate everything you do.If you want it even more concise, I can make an extra‑short version or a thank‑you card message.
Our Son was with Nicole for around 3 years, from just after his 1st Birthday till he turned 4.
If I could sum up in one word the whole experience, it would be "Wow". However that just doesnt do Nicole justice for what she does. The love, care, raising, teaching, and fun she gives the kids is honestly 2nd to none as well as the engagement with us parents to talk about issues and feelings the kids have on any given day is spot on. The whole family are just the lovliest people you could wish to meet and you feel safe entrusting the little ones into her care. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough and hope she continues to make the memories for others that our Son made with her.
We are incredibly grateful to our son's childminder, Iren. From the very beginning, she made him feel safe, happy, and cared for. He quickly settled in, became more confident, and now looks forward to going every day with a big smile.
It means so much to us to see how much he has grown, made friends, and enjoys all the fun and educational activities. Iren's kindness, patience, and genuine love for the children shine through in everything she does.
As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing our son is in such loving and capable hands. Thank you, Iren, for everything you do—you have made a truly positive difference in our son's life. We couldn't recommend you more highly!
My son has been at Talia’s since he was 11 months old and absolutely loves coming every day!
He settled so easily, with a personalised schedule set up to allow him to get used to attending and the new routine.
When he started he had quite severe allergies which were taken so seriously, we never had any worries about him being exposed to foods he couldn’t have. He is occasionally a fussy eater and they try so hard to encourage him to try new foods.
Every day is a different adventure at Talia’s, with trips out to the local parks and time spent in the setting doing such a huge variety of activities. The children become a little family, excited to see their friend each day! Every birthday and milestone is celebrated, and you can tell the children feel so secure and special.
The setting is beautiful, with such a range of toys and activities for the children to play with. My son learns to much, coming home with new words, phrases and games every day.
I really recommend Talia to everyone!
Rachida has been a brilliant childminder for my two sons, aged 1 and 4. She is warm and affectionate and I feel like she genuinely cares for the children she looks after. My youngest son was 10 months old when he started going to Rachida and being with her is the closest thing to being at home, which is perfect for me as a parent.
Rachida is professional and reliable and my children have been very happy with her, I would absolutely recommend her to other parents.

My little girl has been going to Eniko for over a year and absolutely adores it. Eniko is kind, caring, reliable and genuinely loves Children and helping them to develop. The cottage setting is also perfect and maintained to a very high standard. Eniko takes her job very seriously and pours her heart and soul into everything that she does. I could not recommend her highly enough and whoever is lucky enough to get a spot with her will be very glad they did.
Our baby joined 'Out and about' when she was 11 months old and absolutely loves it. Children look well engaged, respectful and happy every time I pick my baby up. Teresa, Vicky and Amy are amazing at what they do. They are professional, knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions (especially from a 1st time mum) but most important they are loving and caring and offer a safe environment for children to explore, play and learn.
10 out of 10! Highly recommend!!!
We honestly could not have asked for a better childminder for our daughter (2.5 years old) who has been with Nicola for the last 9 months. She provides such a warm, kind and supportive environment where our little one feels incredibly happy, safe and cared for. There is always a wonderful variety of activities and opportunities to explore, learn and have fun, and it is clear how much thought and effort goes into making the children’s days enjoyable and engaging. What makes the environment particularly special is the genuine home and family feeling. Her children and her sister are all very involved and engaged with the children too, which creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time there and has clearly developed a very special bond with the whole family. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing that your child is not only being so well cared for, but is also genuinely happy and thriving. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough. We are truly grateful for everything she and her family do for our daughter.
Our daughter has been with Nicole’s Childminding Club since she was just 6 months old, and now, at 4½ years old, I honestly couldn't imagine a better place for her to be. Always happy, safe and genuinely cared for.
The wonderful experiences, fun-filled days out, and all the learning and memories she has experienced means every day is an adventure, and she's always so excited to tell us about everything she's done.
Nicole’s Childminding Club is an important part of our daughter’s journey and a second home.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and the setting gives complete peace of mind.
We don’t really know where to start apart from to say how amazing Adele has been for our little boy. He has needed extra support in some areas such as with speech and Adele has always gone above and beyond to make him feel safe and cared for as well as celebrating all of his little achievements. She has reassured us every step of the way and he is now getting ready to start school nursery a much more confident little boy.
Adele has always communicated everything so well and we have always felt able to communicate everything we have needed to as well, she has definitely supported us as much as she has Reggie!
We always receive lots of pictures from his day which are so lovely to see and really appreciated as well as updates about what he has eaten, his sleep etc. He is always involved in lots of learning, fun and so many activities I don’t know how she does it!
Reggie has always been welcomed by Adele and her family and it really has been a home from home for him which is exactly what he has needed and what we hoped for when finding a childminder. We couldn’t recommend Adele enough and are so happy Reggie’s little brother will soon be starting and getting the same love and care.
Thank you Adele, we couldn’t be happier with everything you have done for him and we will be so sad when he leaves
Kelly has been looking after my daughter since September 2025. During that time the amount my daughter has developed in respect of fine motor skills and her language has been phenomenal.
My daughter is my third child and I did not think my experience with my previous childminder could be beaten. But Kelly has been so incredibly flexible and understanding. At points I have had work commitments or family matters that meant I have needed to change my daughter's hours quite last minute. Kelly has always been so amenable and understanding.
I have also been so impressed with Kelly's communication. Everyday Kelly sends me multiple photos of what my daughter has been doing and Kelly is always changing the activities and toys.
I have had family members comment on how advanced they think my daughter is in respect of her language and fine motor skills and I think that is in no small part due to the stimulation that Kelly offers.
An added benefit for me is that Kelly has pets. My daughter has just turned 2 but often comes home talking about Kelly's cat and she just loves animals so I think that has been a real bonus.
I joke with my husband that we need to have a fourth just to keep Kelly in business!

Nicole has looked after my granddaughter since she was 9 months old, when my daughter returned to work. My granddaughter is now leaving to begin school. Her years with Nicole have been filled with love and fun. She has learnt so much and loves sharing interesting things with us. Nano, did you know flies can flap their wings 200 times whilst you say 'one'?
She has gone on loads of trips, taken part in Forest Schools and grown vegetables at the allotment.
As a retired teacher I have been very impressed by the quality of care, activites, and love that Nicole shows to all the children she looks after.
We are so impressed we have already booked a place for my grandson, who is a month old.
