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.
Simone is absolutely brilliant with our daughter 3 days a week, and we couldn't be happier. The level of care has exceeded our expectations and it's such a relief to know we've found a safe pair of hands. The amount of effort she goes to with activities, learning, meals, and play truly is remarkable. The cherry on top is that communication has been super easy and consistent, and the setting is always kept clean. We can't recommend her highly enough, and our daughter is very happy there!

My daughter has been with Marie since she was just 9 months old, and now, nearly 5 years old, she is about to start school. Over the past four years, Marie has become so much more than a childminder to us.
She genuinely cares for and loves the children as though they were her own, and as a parent there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is with someone who makes them feel completely safe, happy and loved.
Marie has been there through so many important stages of my daughter’s life and has played such a big part in helping her grow from a baby into the confident little girl she is today. My daughter absolutely adores Marie, and the bond they have built over the years is really special.
Although my daughter is starting school next week, I’m so happy that she will still be going to Marie after school. It means so much to know that while she is beginning this exciting new chapter, she will still have the familiarity, love and care that she has grown up with.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my daughter, and I will always be grateful for everything Marie has done and continues to do for her. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any parent looking for someone who will truly care for their child like one of their own. ❤️
Wafaa was an excellent after-school nanny for my 12-year-old daughter last year. She is caring, professional, punctual and reliable. My daughter really enjoyed her time with her, and knowing she was well looked after gave me great peace of mind. She was a big help to me too, I highly recommend her.

I can’t recommend Nish highly enough. She is an amazing childminder — kind, caring, welcoming and very professional.
From the beginning, she has made us feel completely comfortable and has been incredibly helpful and supportive. She genuinely cares about my son, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing that he is in such caring and capable hands.
My son is always happy and comfortable with her, which means so much to us as parents. Nish creates such a warm, friendly and safe environment for the children and always goes the extra mile.
We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend Nish to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring and wonderful childminder. Thank you, Nish, for everything you do for our son.! ❤️
Our son has been with Beliz since he was 9 months old and now he has reached 4 and will be starting school. With my older children I’d always had family help with childcare, so Beliz was the first person I had engaged outside of my family to provide childcare from the early beginnings. From the very start I found her to be so caring, providing regular updates and giving a home from home setting. My son has always loved going there and has made a lovely group of friends. I am very pleased with how he has developed and grown with Beliz and her team and would highly recommend her to others.
Sarah has cared for our two-year-old triplets over the summer period while we relocate.
Although she has only been with our family for a relatively short period, she has made a really positive impression on us. Looking after three two-year-olds at once is no small task, but she has always approached them with a wonderfully calm, patient and kind manner and they have been very happy in her care.
She puts a great deal of thought into how she spends her time with the children and is always coming up with creative activities and experiences that she knows they will enjoy. She is also confident getting out and about with all three of them, taking them on outings and making sure their days are varied, stimulating and fun.
We have found her to be extremely professional. It is also clear that she is genuinely passionate about working with children and takes a great deal of pride in what she does.
She has been a calm, positive and caring presence during a stressful period of upheaval, and we would be very happy to recommend her to another family looking for a nanny.

"Absolutely fantastic childminder! Gusia ,provides a warm, safe, and incredibly welcoming environment. My child settled in immediately and looks forward to going every single day. Gusia is highly professional, reliable, and deeply caring. We feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to any parent."Gusia makes my life good and easy as a new mom and a single parent as well. I’m always thankful that she is there for my child and l as well makes my life very simple and easy. ❤️❤️
Heather was the first person I trusted to look after my twins. I was initially very concerned about whether someone else would be able to cope with twins, alongside the other children in the provision, but after the settling in sessions, I quickly became confident that Heather was the perfect fit. They were 2.5 years old when they first started with Heather, and we are absolutely gutted that they are now school age and no longer need her every day. Heather provides a clean, calm and loving environment, with the perfect balance of structure and adaptability to the children’s individual needs. Whenever I have had questions, Heather has always taken the time to give me a thorough answer. As a first-time mum, I found her incredibly knowledgeable about child development, and she would always reassure me whenever I had concerns about their development or next steps. Knowing that the twins were in such a safe and loving environment made drop-offs easy and gave me real peace of mind. I knew they were happy and well cared for, which meant I could switch off from worrying about them while I worked. They would even ask to see Heather and her family at the weekends and couldn’t wait to go back after holidays. We feel very fortunate for the time they had with Heather, and we know they will always think of her and their time with her with such fond memories! Thank you Heather!

Diana was lovely and reliable looking after our children in the evening while we were staying at a hotel. She was very flexible with timings, always arrived on time and responded to my messages straight away, which made everything really easy and reassuring. We had a great experience with her and would definitely book her again.

We couldn’t be happier with our children’s childminder Megan. From the very beginning, she has been warm, caring and incredibly supportive, making our children feel safe, happy and completely at ease.
It’s such a relief knowing that our children are in such a loving and nurturing environment while we’re not with them. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for, entertained and always included in fun and engaging activities.
The communication has always been fantastic, and we really appreciate the updates and reassurance throughout the day. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after, and that means so much to us as parents.
Our children absolutely love going and have built such a lovely bond with her. We would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone they can truly trust with their children. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her! ❤️
Natalie has been an absolute lifesaver! She took my two boys at very short notice and has been absolutely fabulous with them. She is so sweet, calm and clearly adores children.
She somehow manages to keep my two very energetic boys entertained all day with a different activity around every corner — from cooking and watering plants, to playing, patting turtles, and even taking them to the farm!
It’s rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated to making children feel happy, engaged and excited throughout the entire day. My boys absolutely love their time with Natalie, and I couldn’t recommend her enough.
What a great find! Thank you so much, Natalie — 100% recommend! ❤️
My daughter was with Sammie since the age of 7 months, I was very nervous about leaving my baby so young but Sammie made me feel so relaxed by sending photos and doing settling in sessions. Sammie goes out every day to playgroups, parks, beaches, and museums with many other days out planned, this helped with my daughters confidence and she made so many friendships. She has truly blossomed and I will always remember her time with Sammie xx thank you xx

We are incredibly grateful to Jen for the wonderful care, love and support she has given our little one over the past two years. These two years with Jen have been such a special part of his early childhood, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him.
From the very beginning, I trusted Jen completely. As a parent, leaving your child with someone can be difficult, but with Jen, I never felt any pressure or worry about leaving him. I always had the peace of mind that he was happy, safe, loved and genuinely cared for.
Over the past two years, he has grown so much and has built such a beautiful bond with Jen. It has been lovely watching him become more confident, independent and happy in her care.
Jen is kind, caring, patient and truly dedicated to the children she looks after. She has been such an important part of his life, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for him and for us as a family.
We will miss her dearly and will always look back on these two years with so much love and gratitude. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jen to any parent looking for someone they can trust completely with their child. ❤️

My son was with Geraldine for over 2 years, We were incredibly happy with the care he received.
Geraldine was reliable, patient, and genuinely attentive to our son’s needs.
She provided a warm and welcoming environment, with plenty of fun and engaging activities that supported our sons learning and development.
We would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable childminder.
Our baby was only 8 months old when he began with Suzie. Initially we were quite apprehensive about him beginning in a setting as he was very dependant on us at home. However the slot was available and we really wanted him to be with a childminder for a range of reasons.
Our son instantly settled with Suzie and there was never any tears from day one. We’d be lucky for a wave goodbye! Suzie has created such a warm and loving home setting that it is clear the children thoroughly love their time there. There a real love between both Suzie and the children as well as amongst the children.
Suzie was amazing at taking them on so many adventures and mixing with a host of different children from different settings. They would often visit different parks, Rutland Water, Burghley and so on. This has enormously helped with our son to be confident in a range of settings. Suzie has also been very dependable over the past 2 years and has been a real constant in our lives.
He has thoroughly enjoyed his time with Suzie and the only reason is to move to begin a pre school alongside his older sister. I will however not miss pick ups when it was a real battle to try and get him to leave to come home!! He just loved being there amongst his peers and friends too much.
Thank you again Suzie.

I simply cannot recommend Paula and Molly highly enough. They have looked after my youngest child this summer, and I have been amazed by how much his confidence has grown, alongside his language development and ability to navigate new situations.
As a parent of three, I’ve experienced several different childcare settings, and I struggle to imagine anywhere improving on their approach. They have got the balance between nurturing, gentleness, development opportunities and genuine interest absolutely spot on. My child absolutely loved every day he spent with them.
He can be quite shy and takes time to warm up to new people and situations, but Paula and Molly took the time to get to know him, recognise his individual interests and adapt their care to meet his needs. That made such a difference, and was hugely appreciated by both of us.
They were also incredibly kind and flexible with me, which is so valuable when juggling multiple children alongside work.
We feel very lucky to have found them, and I’m genuinely sad that our time with them has come to an end. They have given him such a lovely summer, and I know he’ll carry the confidence and independence he’s developed with him for a long time. They are a brilliant team, and I suspect they won’t be available for long, anyone who gets a place with them will be very lucky indeed!
I can't recommend Kiddie Smiles enough! Aysha takes such good care of the kids and invests in taking them out and creating activities that are very enjoyable for the kids. The amount of attention to detail is very high and she makes sure to share plenty of photos and a detailed report of what they have been up to during the day. My son managed to settle with them quite quickly and it's all thanks to the homy environment and love he recieves there.
