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.
Tarnya is a friendly and very helpful person.
During my emergency situation, she kindly supported me by doing the school runs for my son, who happens to be in the same class as her daughter. Burnt Ash Primary School. My son had wonderful time at her place, especially when as his usual nanny fell sick and couldn't come for a week.
Tarnya is extremely organised and gives 100% to the children in her care. She is trustworthy, calm, and well-trained to handle kids of all ages. I'm truly grateful for her support.
I had a wonderful experience with our babysitter! She was punctual, patient, and incredibly kind with my child. She kept my child entertained, followed all instructions perfectly, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring and reliable.
Bonnie treats the children she looks after like her own, ive never been happier with a childcare provider. She favours taking the kids out in nature which we really prioritise. She took so much care over helping our little one get warmed up in those initial weeks and now she'd rather live with Bonnie than us some days 🤣! She goes above and beyond to help us with our little one, I cant recommend her enough. Its hard to pick our specifics because each parent and child needs different things but Bonnie has such a kind heart, you cant go wrong with her ❤️ Also, how on earth she keeps her house so clean and tidy is beyond my understanding! Her food offerings are very attentive to healthy eating which is a minefield these days so I appreciate her keeping researching the most up to date advice. Overall, shes a dream xx
I was searching for a safe, nurturing place for my 11-month-old daughter, especially as she was born during the height of COVID and I felt particularly anxious about large nurseries or settings where children were taken out on the school run. Someone recommended the childcare app, and that’s how I discovered Bearsprings. From the very beginning it felt like the perfect fit. One of the things that immediately reassured me was that Bearsprings doesn’t take the children out on the school run — they stay in the setting for the day unless there’s a planned little outing — which made me feel much more comfortable and secure.
My mother and I were immediately impressed by the setting. It felt more like a beautiful, well-organised school than a home childcare setting, with a wonderful outdoor space where the children could play, explore, and learn. Ruby and Ursala are incredibly warm, loving, and kind. Ruby, being a qualified primary school teacher, brings so much knowledge, structure, and care into the children’s learning and development.
The meals are nutritious, home-cooked, and thoughtfully prepared. We were always asked about our specific needs – whether it was the type of milk, nappy cream, or hypoallergenic products – and everything was tailored to suit each child. We truly felt seen, heard, and cared for.
Bearsprings has given us more than childcare – we have gained friends for life. The children who attend are happy, confident, and very intelligent. My daughter started here and thrived, so I naturally enrolled my second daughter too. I even recommended the setting to my sister, and now my niece is part of the Bearsprings family as well.
The caregivers are not only professional, but genuinely loving, generous, and always ready to help, guide, and support. They have been like a second family to me, offering advice, reassurance, and kindness every step of the way.
I highly recommend this childcare setting. It has a lovely, close-knit feel because the children are in a smaller group than you’d find in the bigger nursery settings, which makes it feel very safe and personal. It is nurturing, educational, and full of love. Your child will not only be cared for – they will flourish.
Thank you, Ruby and Ursala of Bearsprings, for everything.
Our son has been with Gloria for the past two years, and the experience has been nothing short of incredible. He has absolutely thrived under her care. From the very beginning, it was clear that he was not just being looked after; he was being loved, nurtured, and genuinely understood.
The bond he has created with Gloria is beyond words. He looks forward to seeing her every day, and the connection they share is truly special. Gloria celebrates every milestone he reaches, no matter how big or small, and she puts her whole heart into helping him grow. She always makes sure he feels included, valued, and confident among all the other children.
Gloria has become so much more than a childminder. She has truly become a part of our family now. Her kindness and care extend far beyond her role. She checks up on us as parents, offers support, and brings warmth and reassurance into our lives. Knowing that our child is with someone who loves him, advocates for him, and genuinely wants to see him thrive brings us incredible peace of mind.
She is truly been sent from God to us! We feel incredibly grateful and blessed to have found her.
Gloria is exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and deeply committed to every child’s wellbeing.
Sarah was fantastic, taking the time to ensure our girls were happy & comfortable with her. Had no trouble with their bedtime routine and provided updates through the evening.
Was so reassuring as we dont get out much and she slotted in perfectly with my girls sen needs.
Would highly recommend
HadleyGd child care is a welcoming, safe, clean environment where children feel secure and loved like a second home. Acommodates parents' schedules and needs, reliable support system, daily adventures and stimulating play that promotes new skills. Providing nutritious homemade food and managing allergies very diligently, will recommend her to anybody looking for child care.
Aurielle was my 2 year olds key worker at nursery, he absolutely adores her, she is so fantastic with children. We had to move nurseries due to moving house and my son was so sad to leave her behind,but fortunately for us we still see her regularly and every time we do he is overjoyed. I have twins babies and would trust Aurielle with all of my children. It is very special to find someone you can trust with your most precious people in your life.
Thank you Aurielle for always brightening up our little ones day. 🥰

My son spent a year and a half with Sallyann and her wonderful team. They are unlike many other settings where they go above and beyond with trips out to London and local groups, which our son loved. Whilst our son was there, due to their nurturing care, fun activities and education, he thrived and grew in confidence.
Sallyanns care was incredible and our son developed some amazing relationships with the staff, which showed us how comfortable he was there.
Sallyann makes sure the children get healthy home grown cooked food and was always careful when it came to illness within the setting.
We can’t thank Sallyann and her amazing team enough and we will always be grateful for her support. We miss them all.
My daughter came to Tanjina, shy and quite wary of others. Over the year she has been in Tanjina’s care she has absolutely flourished. Tanjina takes the children out to activities every day and has such a warm and welcoming family home. Tanjina pays such great attention to detail in her activities tailoring around development milestones and preparing them for preschool and school. I can not recommend Tanjina enough, we have been so sad to leave her setting as she is the most fantastic childminder.
Yasmeen has been an excellent childminder for our 8-year-old son. Yasmeen made him feel comfortable from day 1 when she met him for the first time. He settled in very quickly at her house. Yasmeen takes very nice care of him throughout the time he is with her. Our son has special needs, and Yasmeen is just perfect for him because she takes care of him and provides the personal attention and care when he is with her. We highly recommend Yasmeen to any parent who is looking for a trusted and caring childminder for their kids. She provides updates and photos throughout the stay, which is very satisfying and reassuring. Highly recommend Yasmeen to anyone and can act as a reference if required.

We're absolutely delighted with Shereen and Sophia, who've been caring for our son over the past six months. They've made him feel incredibly welcome, and it's lovely to see him run to them with excitement when we drop him off. They plan engaging activities and outings, and keep us updated throughout the day with thoughtful notes and photos. Their dedication, creativity and kindness make them stand out, and we'd definitely recommend them to other families seeking trustworthy childminders.
We’ve been incredibly lucky to have Chelsea care for our two-year-old son, Ru, over the past year. From day one we knew she was a great fit—she arrived for a trial hour and immediately sat beside Ru, engaging him with toys, games, and songs. He was smitten within minutes.
We’d previously struggled to leave Ru with a nanny (he was very unhappy being away from mum), but Chelsea is so comforting and engaging that we were able to leave him confidently the very next time she came. She has looked after Ru a few mornings each week and often in the evenings for babysitting. Even on tough nights—teething, fussiness, or general toddler unpredictability—she works her magic and gets him to sleep, usually more quickly and smoothly than I can!
Chelsea is prompt with communication, punctual, reliable, and, beyond all of that, genuinely loves her work. It’s clear how deeply she cares for the children she looks after. She’s always taking Ru to fun new activities and spends lots of time outdoors with him, which he absolutely loves.
We’re sadly moving countries and have to say goodbye, but we cannot recommend Chelsea highly enough. Any family would be lucky to have her.

I feel so lucky to have found Sophia and Shereen. As a first time parent, I was really nervous about leaving my daughter in someone else’s care, but from the very first day, they made me feel completely at ease. They are kind, caring, and so reliable. My daughter absolutely adores them and always looks forward to going. Knowing she is happy, safe, and loved while I’m at work brings me so much peace. I’m truly grateful to have them as her childminders.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤️❤️❤️
Ambia has been my son’s childminder since he was just 6 months old, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. My son has learned so much during his time with her from social skills to early development activities and it’s clear how much effort she puts into helping him grow.
She regularly takes the children out for fun, engaging activities, which my son absolutely loves. I really appreciate the frequent updates and photos she sends throughout the day, giving me peace of mind and allowing me to feel connected while I’m away.
Her home is always clean, safe, and welcoming. Ambia genuinely cares for my son, treats him with patience and warmth, and always remains professional in everything she does. I’m extremely grateful for her and highly recommend her to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.

Melanie understood our two kids' needs instantly and listened to every detail we shared with her about them. She is very decisive and knows what she's doing.
We (wife and I) had a great time out in the evening while Melanie had our little ones, we had nothing to worry about and she put them to bed with no problem despite being the first time they met her (they woke up to ask for her). She's great at communication too. House was still clean and tidy when we got home. Amazing!
