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.
My children have been going to Michaela’s for more than 3 years now. My son has attended after school club a few times but really doesn’t like it at all. He absolutely LOVES Michaela’s house! He is always really sad to leave at the end of the day and often reminds me not to collect him before time! Michaela’s home really is a home away from home for my children and they thoroughly enjoy attending! As a previous home ed mum, it was quite daunting for me to leave my children with a childminder. However, Michaela made me feel completely at ease and my children were extremely happy very quickly! In 3 years, I’ve never had to raise any issues with Michaela which is wonderful as my mind is at ease when my children are with her.
MY twin babies absolutely love this place, everybody are so lovely and professional!the house is spacious ,clean and cosy, lots of activities to do !!
We are very lucky to have found Florence and her stafI can't stop to thank them!!
I had a lovely experience with her and found her to be very kind, trustworthy, reliable, and genuine. From our conversations, I felt completely comfortable with her and had every confidence that she would have been wonderful with my family.
I would genuinely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable nanny. I was very impressed by her and would have been happy to have her help my family.
Emma is very experienced and knowledgeable, always cares about and puts the children in her care first. My daughter has settled really well with Emma she now looks forward to the variety of activities and experiences that Emma provides and the warm welcome every time to the setting.
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful childminder for our son, Theo. From the very beginning, Bec cared for him with so much love, kindness and patience, and genuinely made him feel like one of her own.
Over the past 6 months, we’ve watched his confidence grow so much. She has encouraged him to try new things while always giving him the reassurance he needs, and she has created such a warm, safe and happy environment for him.
Bec has made so many special memories with Theo, from all their little adventures to his love of toy stories, ice cream and all the activities they’ve done together. She knows him so well and has always understood his little quirks and personality.
It means so much to us that Theo has been so loved and cared for, and we will always be grateful to Bec for everything she has done for him. She was our first childminder and will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️
We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder for Evie. From the very beginning, she was looked after with so much kindness, care and love, and it was clear how happy and settled she was.
Every day was filled with lovely activities and adventures, including so many walks and time outdoors. Evie learned so much during her time there, while also making some really lovely friendships along the way.
One of our favourite things was seeing just how excited Evie was to go. She would literally cheer in the car as we drove down the road towards the Tracy and Matt's house! Knowing that she was so happy when she was there gave us such peace of mind.
Tracy and Matt have played such a special part in Evie’s early years and have given her the most wonderful start. We will always be so grateful for all the care, patience and love they have shown her. We truly couldn’t have wished for better and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a warm, caring and nurturing home-from-home for their child.
I'm so glad we picked this nursery. Both of my little ones attend here, my two year old from being 11 months and my 11 month old has started here. They're both so happy here, they spend most of their time outside and have fabulous days. The staff are so caring and my little ones have created great bonds with them. I could not recommend them enough!
My little boy started with Carole in September. We have had a fabulous, professional, friendly experience so far. Carole put me at ease straight away and I fully trusted her from the start.
Carole has helped my little boy settle so well he now puts his arms out to her when we arrive. I am always kept up to date at handover with a smile and when he wasn’t drinking much at first, Carole went out of her way to help me with options and advice.
I’m so glad we found her and I would recommend her to anybody, thanks Carole
Laura
Really lovely experience. Asher ended up staying for 11 hours instead of the planned 6, and she kept me updated with photos throughout the day, which was very reassuring. Most importantly, he was happy and settled when I picked him up. I really appreciated the care and communication and would definitely use her again.

Dani is an absolutely amazing childminder, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. My little girl has been going to Dani five days a week for nearly a year, since she was just nine months old, and the care she receives is truly exceptional.
Dani treats my daughter as if she were her own, showing her so much love, kindness and affection. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that while I’m away from her, she is being cared for by someone who genuinely adores her and always puts her needs first.
She cooks amazing, nutritious homemade meals that my little girl absolutely loves, and makes sure the children have wonderful experiences every day. They are always out and about enjoying parks, playgroups, messy play, farms and so many other fun and enriching activities.
What means the most to me is knowing that my daughter isn’t just having amazing experiences and developing every day — she is also being loved and cared for to an exceptional standard. Dani consistently goes above and beyond, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone I trust so completely with my little girl.
Dani really is one of a kind, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their child.
We couldn’t be happier with the care and support our daughter receives. Dawn genuinely takes the time to get to know her as an individual — not just as a child in her care. Dawn understands my daughters personality, interests, strengths and areas where she can grow, and this really shows in the way she supports her.
Dawn is always keen to encourage and challenge her learning, while making it fun and enjoyable. She supports her education but also teaches her valuable life skills, independence and confidence, giving her opportunities to learn through everyday experiences.
What means the most to us is knowing that dawn genuinely has our daughter’s best interests at heart. She is caring, attentive and passionate about helping her develop, and our daughter clearly feels happy, comfortable and valued in her care. I was very nervous to leave our daughter but on the first day of collecting Penelope I knew she was in very safe hands, she came home very happy and content, Pea has ran ip to dawn ever since big smile on her face.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a dedicated childminder and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who truly cares about their child and their development.
We would like to sincerely thank Lenka for providing excellent emergency babysitting care for our six-year-old son. She is kind, reliable, and professional, and her transparent, honest pricing made the arrangements easy and reassuring. We paid her rate in advance as agreed.
Lenka arrived on time, introduced herself, and took the time to discuss our son’s habits, routines, and our requests. He was very happy with her thoughtful play plan and craft activities. Throughout the day, she kept us updated every hour with a photo or short message. They played board games, completed crafts, and, in the evening, she helped him with his bath and bedtime routine.
When we returned home, Lenka explained how his day had gone, and we found the house tidy and everything in order. My wife and I had a wonderful time together knowing our son was in such capable hands.
Thank you, Lenka. We highly recommend her to any family seeking dependable.

Claire is absolutely wonderful. She has looked after our daughter for the past 2 years and she will be in her care until she starts school next September. She is absolutely thriving. Claire is so fun, kind and professional and provides a home away from home environment. She prepares a weekly menu so you know what the children are eating and we get regular updates throughout the day with messages and pictures of their adventures. She also meets up with other local childminders at the park as well as their houses so it’s fantastic for the children’s development and social skills meeting other children to play with and make friends. My little one is learning new things every week and she’s always so excited to go to Claire’s house. Claire has even helped out with care for my oldest in the holidays when I have been at a loose end. Absolute angel and highly recommend her to any potential families looking for a childminder in the Chatham area

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful care my daughter has received over the past four years. From the very first day, I knew she was in safe, caring and loving hands.
Over the years, she has grown so much, Celma and her wonderful team of assistants have been such a special part of that journey. They have always been kind, patient, attentive and genuinely caring, creating a warm and happy environment where our daughter felt loved, confident and completely at home.
She has made so many beautiful memories, learned so much and been encouraged to grow into the happy and confident little girl she is today.
After four amazing years, it is very emotional to see this chapter come to an end as she starts school.
Thank you for being such a big and special part of her childhood. I couldn’t recommend Celmay highly enough and feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful team to care for my daughter. ❤️
Pinar has been looking after our son since he was 6 months old. It’s not easy trusting someone to leave your little baby with specially when they’re so young. But Pinar was warm from the first moment we met which assured me.
Her house is very very clean which was important to us given that my son would be on the floor crawling and putting things in his mouth most of the time.
She’s been very good with getting my son used to having breast milk from bottle and settling him in although he now LOVES her food and doesn’t drink much of my milk :-).
Safety is another very important factor to me and she’s very careful with children specially babies and at nap times.
She’s very affectionate towards the children and takes them out where they enjoy lots of fun activities both inside and outside. Her garden is also very nice and full of fun activities.
Everything is pre-planned and she communicates everything to us and let us know about how our son is getting along during the day.
I definitely recommend Pinar to fellow parents.
We couldn’t recommend Kayleigh and Anoushka highly enough. They have been absolutely wonderful with our son over the past 6 months and have provided such a warm, caring and nurturing environment for him.
This was Son’s first experience in a setting away from home, and initially he found the transition and being apart from his parents difficult. Kayleigh and Anoushka were incredibly patient, loving and reassuring, doing everything they could to help him feel safe and comfortable. As a result, he settled so quickly and soon came to absolutely love his time there.
We have also seen such a huge change in his confidence and social development. He has really flourished socially, becoming much more confident around other children and adults and genuinely excited to interact with new people.
Having pets in the setting has been another wonderful part of his experience. Being around cats and dogs regularly has helped him become so comfortable and confident around animals. He absolutely loves them now! When we’re out walking, he’s no longer fearful of dogs and instead gets so excited to see and interact with them!
We’re incredibly grateful for everything Kayleigh and Anoushka have done for all of us and only wish we could have stayed longer. Our son will miss them dearly, and of course, his beloved Bower (the dog)! Thank you so much for everything.
Janny has been wonderful with my daughter. From the very start, she made her feel safe, welcome and valued. My daughter had always loved going and spent five years with Janny before we moved.
She still asks me to call her so that she can chat to her.
Janny is kind, understanding and attentive to details (eg sensory processing differences in children and other additional needs). She takes the time to understand each child as an individual, and she treated my daughter with care and respect.
I trusted Janny completely, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for a childminder who truly cares and understands child development.
We’ve had such a positive experience with Dawn since our daughter started attending her setting. Dawn is caring, attentive and genuinely invested in the children’s development. She regularly keeps us updated on our daughter’s progress, what she has been doing during the day and the different skills she is working on. We really appreciate the variety of activities and experiences she provides, as well as the individual attention she gives to each child. Communication has always been excellent, and Dawn is very approachable, flexible and supportive. We would happily recommend Dawn to other parents looking for a warm, caring and engaging environment for their child ❤️
