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.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Pamela to look after our children. From the very beginning, she has been warm, caring and genuinely invested in their happiness and development. It is clear that she has a real passion for working with children, and her experience as an Early Years teacher really shows.
Our children love spending time with her and especially enjoy all the outdoor adventures, nature walks and hands-on activities she provides. She creates such a calm, nurturing environment where they feel safe, confident and encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace.
What I appreciate most is how well she gets to know each child as an individual. She takes the time to understand their personalities and interests and uses these to make their days fun, meaningful and educational. She also communicates really well with us as parents, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing our children are happy and well cared for.
Pamela is kind, patient, reliable and professional, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Our children are so happy in her care, and we are very grateful to have her in their lives. ❤️
We had my brother's wedding and needed a babysitter for two nights of the wedding weekend. It was our first time using the website but Lexi put us at ease as soon as we spoke to her. Lexi also came to meet us before minding our daughter so our daughter was familiar with her. When Lexi arrived our daughter was so happy to see Lexi. Thank you Lexi!

Choosing childminding with Maryam was an easy choice after visiting for the first time. The home is lovely, open and big enough for multiple children to play, yet remains tidy as they’re all taught to clean up after themselves. The children get along well and maintain good friendships, helps get your child out of their own bubble.
They are also often fed homemade, hand cooked meals that can out you at ease they’re still eating well enough and healthy foods
I appreciate Maryam working through the holidays, which I highly appreciate as a working mum in a clinic with my long hours and odd days. Thank you once again!!
We started using Ijeoma in August during the summer holidays, and we have been happy with the care she provided for our daughter.
From the beginning, our daughter settled in so well and genuinely enjoyed her time there. She would look forward to going and, on quite a few occasions, would even cry when we came to pick her up because she didn’t want to leave. That really reassured us that she was happy, comfortable and enjoying herself in her care.
Ijeoma was warm, caring and attentive towards her, and we really appreciated the kindness and care she showed her. We felt comfortable leaving our daughter in her care and would highly recommend her to other parents

Miah was amazing and looked after my 2 sons they both got on with her really well and still ask when they are going to see her again, she was extremely attentive and takes everything you say on board and couldn’t be more amazing with communication. Will definitely be using her services again and our family are extremely grateful to of found her
Allyson has been perfect for us, she looked after out little girl from around 8months old until 18months when we unfortunately switched for different arrangements. We miss her dearly as she was excellent for us the entire time. We never had a worry or a concern, and our little girl developed so well with Allyson. They went to the best activities, did arts and crafts and learned so many words and signs! Allyson was very professional, timely, caring and kind and considerate with us and our baby.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Neelima and I honestly don’t think I can put into words how much she has meant to our family over the last two and a half years.
My daughter started going to Neelima when she was just 1 year and 2 months old. Like any parent, I found it incredibly difficult to leave my little girl with someone completely new. I remember the worry and the heavy heart I had in the beginning. But very quickly, Neelima gave me every reason to feel completely reassured. I never once had a second thought about leaving my daughter with her, and I never worried about whether she was happy, safe or being looked after properly.
Neelima has cared for my daughter almost like I would myself. I have always called her my daughter’s “second mum”, because that is truly how it feels. She has fed her, taught her, played with her, comforted her, encouraged her and, most importantly, given her so much love and care.
Every day, Neelima would keep me updated on how my daughter had been — what she had eaten, what she had done, how she was feeling, all the little things that meant so much to me as a mum. Those daily updates gave me so much comfort and made me feel involved even when I couldn’t be there.
Over these two and a half years, I have watched my daughter grow into such a happy, confident and caring little person, and I genuinely believe Neelima has played a huge part in that. She has not just looked after her; she has helped shape her.
There really are no words to thank Neelima enough for everything she has done for my daughter and for us as a family. Saying we are going to miss her is a huge understatement. Leaving Neelima is honestly one of the hardest parts of this next chapter for us.
If you are looking for someone you can trust completely with your child, someone who will care for them with genuine love, patience and kindness, I could not recommend Neelima highly enough. She has been absolutely exceptional, and we will always be so grateful that she was such a special part of my daughter’s early years.
Thank you, Neelima, for everything. ❤️
Leah is OUTSTANDING! I personally want the world to know about Leah and what she does, how she does it, and the dedication this woman has for her job. My boys are happy, healthy, extremely well looked after and we all simply LOVE Leah.
She teaches them SO much, she is present and offers them individual love and top care. I trust this woman more than I can put into words. My kids are never stuck in a room for days on end, as they would be at a nursery, they interact with other children, they learn how to love nature, each other, yet they also learn to count and read.
CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH! Thank you Leah for everything you do, you’re simply THE ABSOLUTE best there is out there ❤️
Zsofia looked after our children as a Nanny on a part time basis for 3 years until our youngest started full time school. During that time she established a real bond with them becoming a friend and mentor as well as carer. As well as competent in core Nanny tasks, she was also great at occupying their free time with engaging activities like art, crafts, baking, visits to parks, local walks and other excursions. Experienced, trustworthy and reliable, I have no hesitation in recommending her to any future employer.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Caterina. She has been with us throughout the summer and has quickly built a beautiful bond with our little boy, Leonardo.
Caterina is full of energy, initiative and enthusiasm. We particularly appreciate the way she plays with Leonardo and encourages him to explore, discover and learn through everyday activities. She is warm, attentive and genuinely engaged with him, and it is lovely to see how happy Leonardo always is to see her.
She has also been wonderful with us as parents. She is always clear and respectful in her communication, supportive of our choices and attentive to what we need as a family. We really appreciate the trust and peace of mind she gives us when Leonardo is in her care.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Caterina to any family looking for someone who will care for their child with genuine affection, energy and dedication. We are very grateful for all the care and positivity she has brought to our family.

I genuinely cannot recommend Jennie highly enough! She has been the most wonderful childminder :-)
As a parent, it's never easy leaving your baby to go back to work after maternity leave, but i can honestly say I never worried for a second leaving my daughter with Jennie. From the very beginning, Jennie was incredibly kind, caring and thoughtful and her home is so lovely. She is wonderfully creative and puts so much effort and thought into the activities and experiences she provides. Sophie has had so many fantastic opportunities during her time with her and loved every minute there!
It always meant so much to know how much Jennie genuinely cared for Sophie. She has always taken the time to understand her little personality, interests and needs, and we have seen Sophie flourish in her care. She has also created such a lovely little community for the children and Sophie has made some wonderful friendships.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jennie and we were so sad to have to leave to move away with the Army. She has been such an important part of Sophie's early years, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for her.
We could not recommend Jennie more highly. She really is wonderful :-)
The best childcare I ever experienced. Professional, fully qualified and very flexible. Florence is an absolute star.
Highly recommended.
We couldn’t recommend Kanjana more highly. She looked after our daughter Noa when she was four months old, and we felt completely comfortable and confident leaving her in Kanjana’s care from the very beginning.
She was incredibly professional, attentive and caring, and always very thoughtful about Noa’s needs and routine. Communication was excellent throughout: clear, reliable and proactive, and she would regularly go the extra mile to support us and make things easier.
Most importantly, we had complete trust in her. It was very clear how much care and attention she gave Noa, and we always felt she was in safe and loving hands.
We absolutely loved having Kanjana look after Noa and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. We’d also be very happy to provide a personal reference to any family considering working with her.

Lee is a dedicated and caring childminder. He puts the Individual needs of the children first in all his aspects of his care. He clearly works hard providing an educational and stimulating environment for all the children- where they can all develop at their own pace with his continuous support.
Zohra is amazing and I knew the minute I met her that I could leave my daughter with her with zero stress. She’s so caring and maternal! it is a pleasure to see how she engages with kids but also with us adults. Shes so genuine and loving! She’s also very flexible and responds super quickly to all my messages.
She’s always happy to help and for us it is key to know that we have got someone we can rely on who leaves in the neighbourhood.
Can’t recommend her enough !
I could not recommend Sarah enough. After a bad childcare experience with my older children, I was incredibly anxious about finding the right setting for my youngest son. I visited six different childminders and eight nurseries, but the moment I walked into Sarah’s home, I just knew she was the one.My son left at the end of August to start school he had been with Sarah for 3 years, and she has been absolutely amazing. Her home is clean, welcoming, and incredibly nurturing. My son is quite a shy little boy, but Sarah has helped with his confidence so much.They do excellent daily activities, from Forest School to a “Sarah Adventure." On top of that, Sarah's communication is exceptional. She constantly shares updates and photos throughout the day. When you are having a busy, stressful day at work, seeing those photos brings so much peace of mind. Sarah is a truly kind, caring person, and we are so grateful to have found her.
I honestly cannot recommend Jen’s Little Owls highly enough. Jen looked after both of my daughters, and I feel incredibly lucky that they had the opportunity to spend their early years in her care.
Jen is just incredible. She is one of those rare people who instantly makes you feel completely at ease, and I trusted her implicitly with my girls. She created a true home away from home for them - somewhere they felt safe, loved, happy and completely themselves. It was so much more than childcare; she became such an important person in both of their little lives.
The girls absolutely adored going to Jen’s and had the best time. They were always coming home with stories about what they had been doing, and I loved knowing they were having so much fun while also being cared for so wonderfully. And the food! Jen’s cooking is amazing - the children were always treated to such lovely, home-cooked meals and snacks.
What makes Jen so special is the genuine care, kindness and love she gives to every child. You can see how much she cares about them, and how much thought she puts into making every day special. She created such a warm, nurturing environment where my girls could grow in confidence, learn, play and just enjoy being little.
Leaving them with someone else for the first time is such a huge thing as a parent, but with Jen I never once worried. I knew they were safe, happy and being loved and looked after as if they were her own.
Both of my girls have now moved on, but Jen will always hold a very special place in our family’s hearts. I genuinely couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you are lucky enough to get a place with Jen’s Little Owls, you really have found something special. ❤️
We have been really happy with the care Funmi provided. She has been reliable, caring and attentive, and was very helpful when we needed childcare at short notice. She followed everything we asked and was brilliant with both of our boys, playing with them and keeping them happy and engaged throughout the day.
Both boys were very happy and settled with her, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re very grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to other families.

Syra has been a fantastic babysitter and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. My son warmed to her immediately, which gave me a huge amount of confidence from the start. She is warm, engaging and clearly very experienced with children, and she always keeps him active and entertained. I also really appreciate the lovely photos she sends from their outings, which are always a great little update on what they’ve been getting up to. She has been completely reliable and wonderful with my son, and I would happily recommend Syra to any family looking for a caring, creative and trustworthy sitter.

We have been using Angela's childminding service for 6 years, and I honestly can’t imagine having made a better choice.
From the very beginning, my child absolutely loved being there. It never felt like simply going to a childminder- it felt like going to a place where he was genuinely happy, comfortable and cared for. There were always smiles, fun, warmth and a feeling of being at home.
For me as a parent, knowing that my child was so happy there made leaving them so much easier. I never had to worry about whether they were okay, because I knew they were in safe, caring hands.
Six years is a huge part of a child’s life, and we are so grateful that she has been part of ours for all these years. Thank you for all the care, patience, love and wonderful memories.
I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any parent looking for someone they can truly trust.
