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.
Naomi mainly looks after our youngest son (4 days out of 5) after school, but she has also had our oldest. Her home is both warm and welcoming. She creates fun activities whilst also picking up on indvidual needs, giving space or hugs; whichever is required! We know that when our children are in her care, they are loved, understood and having fun!
Maryam has been fantastic with our youngest. She has been patient and very attentive dealing with our 4 year old. From the first communication she was very warm and happy to answer my questions putting me at ease and reassuring us as a family. I would highly recommend Maryam.

Rana has been absolutely wonderful with our six-month-old son. She comes twice a week for a couple of hours and has quickly become someone we really trust with him. She is very gentle, attentive, and clearly experienced with babies.
What I particularly appreciate is how supportive she has been not only with the baby but also with me as a new mum. She has helped with practical things like preparing food and introducing solids, organising baby clothes, and sharing helpful advice. Her presence in the house is calm and reassuring, and our son is always happy and relaxed with her.
Rana is reliable, kind, and thoughtful. I would happily recommend her to any family looking for someone caring and trustworthy to help with their baby.

Our daughter has been going to Naomi since she was 11 months old. Naomi has been the best thing that ever happened to our daughter, she is now nearly 4 and still goes to Naomi and is as happy as ever. Naomi takes the children out on day trips to farms, theme parks, soft plays and lots more. Our daughter enjoys being there so much and has made such good friends with the other children. She also sees Naomi outside of her normal hours - Naomi has become family to us and we would be lost without her! Cannot recommend her enough!
Joanne has been a godsend to our family! She was the very first childcare provider my daughter has ever attended, starting when she was 10 months old, and from the beginning it was clear we had made a great choice. Right away we could tell Joanne is very experienced. She's also got a super calm demeanour that puts kids at ease fast, but she also is really fun and joins in on the activities she proposes, like dressing up for World Book Day. She's super thoughtful with the little ones and makes them feel special, be it a special date like Christmas or birthdays or during the everyday, and as a result my daughter settled in super quickly and is now thriving under her care. Her communication skills are great and she's super flexible, which is fundamental so we can conciliate both work and childcare.
Choosing a childcare provider is not easy, but when we met Joanne it truly felt like a no-brainer.
Thank you Joanne <3
Rachel has looked after our toddler and baby on a few occasions and we're really happy with her. She is professional, warm and great with both our toddler and baby. She always comes prepared with fun, age-appropriate activity ideas that keep the little ones entertained and engaged. Both children feel very at ease with her. I'd highly recommend Rachel as a babysitter.

We started with Layla, Emma and Annie in the Summer of 2025 and we've had a great experience as a family. My daughter (2 years old) loves it there and she will often come home talking about the fun she has had as well as the delicious food she gets. What's also great is that they introduce lots of different types of foods to the children and they take them out to different playgroups, activities etc. so they can be in different environments. They have also been really helpful with potty training and general advice for a first time mum. I cannot recommend this setting enough especially if you want your child to attend somewhere more personal and I know that when my newborn starts this year, she will have the best care!
Jo has cared for our son for almost 18 months. From the very beginning, Jo has created such a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment that our son has absolutely thrived in.
Jo has a wonderful ability to make children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. Every day is filled with thoughtful activities, outdoor adventures, creative play, and opportunities for the children to develop socially and emotionally. Jo puts so much effort and genuine care into everything she does for the children in her care.
She has really taken the time to understand our sons personality, encourage his confidence, and celebrate his milestones with us. We always feel completely reassured leaving him in her care, knowing he is not only safe but truly happy.
Communication is always excellent, and Jo keeps us updated with photos, videos, stories from the day, and little moments that mean so much to us as parents. It feels like our son is part of a very special extended family.
Another thing we truly appreciate is the homemade, nutritious meals Jo provides. She puts so much care into preparing healthy and balanced food for the children.Our son was introduced to a variety of wholesome meals and snacks, which really helped encourage good eating habits and a willingness to try new foods. It has given us great peace of mind knowing he was enjoying fresh, home-cooked meals each day.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jo and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any child in her care will be supported, encouraged, and loved in the most wonderful way.
My little boy has been going to Ann four days a week since he was 12 months. I feel so grateful to have found Ann and had such a positive experience for my son. He loves her an loves being part of her small group! They are out most of the day which he loves because he’s very active! She’s very reliable, trustworthy and flexible. I have noticed how much he has come on and he’s a very happy and confident little boy. She has been leading on his potty training and able to give us helpful advice about most things.
Our son joined Jane’s Sweetness Camp when he was 17 months old after we decided to move him from another nursery that we were not happy with. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made.
From the very beginning, we could feel the genuine love, care, and enthusiasm they have for every child. The children are treated with so much warmth and patience, and it’s clear that this is not just a job for them—they truly care about the children they look after.
They also put great thought into supporting each child’s development. When our son first joined, he wasn’t speaking yet. However, within just about a month, we started to see a big change. He began saying colours and shapes in English, and gradually became much more willing to communicate in daily life. It has been wonderful to see his confidence grow, and now he happily tries to express himself both in English and Chinese!
Another thing we really appreciate is the amazing home-made food that Maryori cooks. Our son can be quite a fussy eater at home, but he genuinely enjoys the meals there, which says a lot!
Most importantly, we know our son is in a happy, safe, and nurturing environment where he is truly looked after. Seeing him settled, comfortable, and happy there means the world to us. We are very grateful for the care they provide and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a wonderful childminder. Thank you Jane, Maryori, Jessie and Jennifer!
My one year old started with Dani very last minute as an interim after a tricky experience for all of us at a nursery. Dani was so understanding and moved really fast to meet him and me. Dani's really wonderful and worked so hard to help my son settle and to keep him busy, she knows exactly what to do in every situation and has so many good ideas. I'd recommend her to anyone, the setting is calm and structured and even when he was upset I knew he was in very good hands. Thank you, Dani!
Emma was really helpful, and reliable, she covered care for our daughter at the last minute.
Our daughter, a lively 7 year old really enjoyed her time with Emma. Emma kept her busy going out and doing things she really enjoyed.
Thank you Emma we will definately be arranging for Emma's care in the future.
Many thanks

I genuinely can't recommend Laura enough, my son was with her for around 10 months while we were waiting for a place at nursery and he absolutely loved going to her, I am so grateful that we found Laura and we were made to feel so welcomed by her from day one. Laura provides a safe and warm environment for children and always has fun activities planned for them with photos and updates on her private facebook group for the parents (which I thought was absolutely brilliant!) I could see how far my son had come with her after only a few short months and he always had the biggest smile on his face at the end of the day so I know he always had a good day.
We were so sad to leave Laura but would absolutely use her again and recommend her to everyone!

"I highly recommend Leah and Simone! They treat my children with such genuine care and kindness, making them feel right at home. My kids always come back happy and well-fed, and it’s a huge relief knowing they are in such a safe, nurturing environment. My boys love staying with them, they always asked for them ,and I am happy. They are such a lovely childminders.

Lizzie is clearly a very experienced tutor, and I’m very happy with the work she has been doing with my daughter. She is professional, and has created a positive learning experience. I really appreciate the progress my daughter is making under a short period and would highly recommend her.
Belinda has been an excellent childminder and has been looking after our daughter for the past 2 years. Our daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and we were looking for a childminder who was willing to have the training in order to care for her, Belinda was more than happy to oblige and has been amazing with her. She always plans various activities and trips out to keep the children entertained. She provides home cooked meals made from scratch. We couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Two of my sons had the opportunity of being looked after at Gera Mae. My boys absolutely love it there and Ryanette makes every child feel at home and safe. My boys were very fond of her and enjoyed telling me about what they did.
I highly recommend choosing Gera Mae for your little one, if you are after someone that will look after them well and also help your child grow.
Marle has been an absolute saver and the kids love having her babysit them. She deeply engages and entertains the kids with lots of fun and educational activities which they still talk about long after she is gone. She is definitely a great choice for babysitting support.
