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.
Earlier this year made the decision to remove our son from nursery, and we wish he had been with Kelly from day one. Our son has made incredible progress in just three months and this is due to her experience and dedication to all of the children in her care. Our son was very anxious about a new setting and Kelly has been incredible at helping him settle and incredibly patient with us as worried parents! He now runs in every morning ready to play. The range of activities and outings Kelly provides is fantastic and we look forward each day to photographs of his day. She works with each child individually to support their development. We can't recommend her highly enough.
I am already jealous of whoever gets to welcome Fanni next into their family. She was our nanny for a year and a half (until we moved house and couldn’t quite persuade her to come with us!) and we inherited her from neighbours who had employed her for a number of years and were vehement in their recommendation of her. She is such a warm, creative, enterprising nanny who is still one of our daughter’s favourite people. She brings energy, fun and a kind of magic into children’s lives and is a pleasure to have around. She is reliable and someone of deep integrity who I trust completely. I’d be very happy to provide more information or references.
Hannah is an exceptional childminder. She is sensitive, caring, and calm in everything she does, creating a truly nurturing environment for the children in her care. Hannah provides healthy, nutritious meals, and rotates a wide variety of toys, so the children have plenty to play with. She has a thorough curriculum, doing themed activities, crafts, and outings with the children based around life skills such as using public transport, knowing how to write and post letters, growing fruits and vegetables ..etc. She builds strong, genuine bonds with each child, and it’s clear how safe and valued they feel with her. One of the loveliest things I’ve seen is how the children in her care develop lasting friendships through the warm, supportive atmosphere she fosters.
Being a first time mother, I was naturally nervous about leaving my daughter with anyone, and interviewed a variety of childminders, and with Hannah I felt confident that my daughter would be well cared for. My daughter adored going to Hannah's. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact she’s had—she has been a wonderful presence in my daughter's life.
I had a great and wonderful experience visiting the setting. it is very neat and organised.
Shibani is very passionate about what she does and pays attention to details. withing the period of my visit with my twins, they were already exploring and getting close to her.
I will surely recommend her.

We first met Nileema in 2023 when I was looking for someone to care for my daughter, who was just one year old at the time. From the very beginning, Nileema provided exceptional care with sincerity, warmth, and professionalism. Over the past two years, my daughter has grown from a shy toddler into a confident, happy child who absolutely loves spending time with her.
Nileema created a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where my daughter felt comfortable and supported. She always went above and beyond to ensure my child’s well-being, and I never had to worry when my daughter was in her care.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Nileema as our childminder. Her dedication and reliability gave us complete peace of mind, and the bond she built with our daughter is something we will always cherish. As our journey with her comes to an end, we know we will truly miss her.
I highly recommend Nileema to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional childminder. She has been an invaluable part of our lives, and we are grateful for everything she has done for our family.

Kiara has been babysitting for our 3.5-year-old daughter for the past 2.5 years and she is truly a gem. She is kind, patient, always up for fun and creative games and incredibly attentive. Our daughter absolutely adores her and we always feel completely at ease knowing she is with her.
Highly highly recommend her

Shafaq and Kamal are two of the absolute nicest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Naturally we felt nervous about leaving our one-year-old with someone other than family for the very first time. However, we had a full one-to-one meeting with them and they put to bed all of our potential concerns. Our daughter goes to them twice a week and she receives the absolute very best care, she is happy to go there and we always get updates via pictures to see how happy our little girl is with the two of them. I don’t often leave reviews, but I had to log in to leave a review for them because they made the transition for my wife go back to work as easy as possible. Sending our biggest heartfelt thanks to both Shafaq and Kamal.

We want to say a big thank you for the amazing care Maggie has given our daughter, Arya. Since she started with Maggie at 10 months old, she has come on so well and is now a happy, confident 20-month-old.
Maggie creates a safe, caring and fun environment, and we’ve loved seeing our daughter reach so many milestones with her. She took her first steps while in Maggie’s care, her speech has really improved, and she’s even starting to show interest in potty training by watching the older children.
We also really appreciate the effort Maggie puts into activities and themes. We especially enjoyed the heritage theme, and it was lovely to see Maggie buy Peppa Pig toys because she knows how much Arya loves them. It shows how well she knows the children and how much she cares.
Maggie is professional, reliable and keeps us updated, which gives us complete peace of mind. Arya is always happy and settled with her.
We’re very grateful for everything Maggie has done for us and would happily recommend her to any family looking for a caring and dedicated childminder.
Our daughter spent a year at Anna’s starting at 12 months old, and we cannot thank Anna and the team enough for all the kind love and attention she got during that time. We don’t live that close but I looked at over 15 nurseries in our area and did not feel that any were the right fit. We instantly fell in love with Anna’s cosy environment when we came to view the space and so decided to send her even though it’s a 30 minute walk uphill for us. It is clean and very welcoming and really feels like a home away from home. The children all get very specialised attention given the small size of the setting and the activities are better than some of the bigger nurseries we know. Our daughter had some food intolerances and Anna’s was so accommodating, Anna even worked with us to incorporate some family recipes into their menu. We loved the flexibility and the ease of communication with Anna in particular. We especially loved how much cooking/baking the kids do and the fact that each term there are themed activities based on books. My daughter settled in so quickly with Anna and learned so much with them, she really blossomed in that environment. It’s the perfect combination of structured activities and free play, and is the closest thing to a Waldorf style environment we could have hoped for. We were very sad to leave and would have happily kept our daughter there if we didn’t have to move. She has been in her new school for almost a month now and still talks about Anna and the other team members often and very affectionately, and we hope to keep in touch with them as long as we are able, and hopefully send our next child there too. We would highly recommend Anna’s to anyone looking for a great environment for their child!

We were recommended Kideos Childcare, and we love Linzi & Michelle! They are so friendly, professional and accommodating! We came to Kideos after a bad experience with another childminder, and my little boy settled in immediately and felt at home. Linzi is helpful and very knowledgeable and both her, and Michelle, are a wonderful influence on the children! Highly recommend!
Redina has been exceptional at looking after our son. He went to her at 10months and she has been instrumental in his development. He is 23 months and sings so many songs, knows his colours and can also say numbers too. Redina is so kind and caring for all the children and is always helpful with any questions too. Each day of the week there is something different to do from playing interactive and educational games to going to the park and also going to the different play centres and libraries too. He loves going to her house and adores her son who greets him some mornings before school. Each day I receive an update with photos and what he has eaten. Redina is the best child minder we could have ever wished for and anyone would be lucky for their children to be in such good care. I could not recommend her more highly!
I cannot recommend Heidi highly enough.
My daughter absolutely loves going to Heidi’s play patch. As an anxious parent — especially with my daughter having multiple allergies — finding someone I can trust has meant everything.
Heidi is incredibly attentive, reassuring, kind, and caring… the list truly goes on. My daughter is always excited to go and often doesn’t want to leave!
Throughout the day, Heidi keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. Every day is filled with fun, engaging activities that help the children learn through play.
The main reason I chose Heidi is her naturally warm and nurturing aura. My daughter doesn’t feel secure with many people, apart from her parents, but she finds real comfort and safety with Heidi because of her loving nature.
Sammy has been AMAZING for my 1.5 year old son! I was worried about how well he would settle in but he settled so quickly and now he walks in without even looking back at me! Sammy is kind, fun and so caring of the children she looks after! She takes so much time to get to know your child and makes sure she does things they enjoy. She sends regular picture updates so you can see how your child is getting on. Sammy listens to you and goes above and beyond for you and your child. She has two children who are so sweet with my son and he loves them both, it is a real family setting! He does arts and crafts, goes to the park and to playgroups etc and loves it! I would recommend Sammy to everyone, and I was a very nervous Mum about my boy starting with a childminder!

Sarah helped us look after our daughter from week 1 through to 9 months old. Sarah was amazing throughout and became part of the family.
She adapted to what we needed as things changed, and as our daughter needed.
She’s kind, warm, caring, helpful, trustworthy, knowledgeable and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to looking for a nanny.
Abby has created a lovely, nurturing home from home environment for children to thrive. Her enthusiasm for learning and warm, caring character sets the tone and she has our 16 month old daughter hooked by the engaging activities from the moment she steps through the door and the outdoor space and equipment available has suited our daughter perfectly.
She has developed a beautiful positive relationship with our daughter in a short space of time which is clear when she gets a little upset as I leave at drop off yet is happy to go to Abby to be comforted and settles instantly.
Abby is easy to contact and is great at communicating any arrangements via the famly app or direct, and we love seeing what the children have been up to each week with all the photos she takes.
Abby also takes the children out and about to visit lots of exciting places around the area which is an added bonus!
We really can’t fault the service that Abby provides and am so grateful that we managed to get a space for our daughter to join the fun! The best childminder around.
Thanks Abby!
