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.
When my DS first started childcare, I was naturally quite anxious about leaving him with someone new. However, Rachael very quickly put my mind at ease with her warm, caring personality and the genuine affection she shows to the children in her care. From the beginning she has been incredibly communicative and thorough, always keeping me updated and making sure I feel confident about his day. Because of this, trust built up very quickly.
DS transitioned into Rachael’s care so smoothly and it’s been lovely to see how happy he is to see her at drop-off each morning. It’s clear he feels comfortable and secure with her.
Rachael is also incredibly thoughtful and creative. She does lots of themed crafts to celebrate events throughout the year and often makes special keepsakes with DS for me, which I truly appreciate and will always cherish.
Rachael provides a very personal yet professional childcare service, and I feel so grateful that DS has such a nurturing, home-from-home environment to grow and thrive in while I’m at work. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and dedicated childminder.

I am so grateful for the reliable, focused and child centered approach Zena takes to looking after my children. She takes her time to ensure the children are listened to, comfortable and entertained whilst they are with her. She communicates and feedback at the end of each session. She ensures there are activities to keep them entertained and I am grateful for the service she provides.
My nearly 2 year old daughter has been with Lorraine for nearly a year and I am moving her due to a change in circumstances. Lorraine has made me going back to work as easy as it possibly could have been. My daughter has been so happy going into her setting every day and often doesn't want to come home at the end of the day which is more than I could ask for... if not a little annoying for a parent! :-) To trust someone with your child is the biggest deal and I cannot recommend Lorraine highly enough. She has put me at ease at all times and gives full, detailed accounts of each day. My daughter is gluten intolerant and Lorraine was well able to cater for her needs.
I cannot speak highly enough of the care my little one received. From day one, she showed an incredible level of compassion, kindness, and understanding. She is wonderfully flexible and always does her best to accommodate our needs, which made such a difference to our daily routine.
It’s clear she treats every child as if they were her own. My little one always felt safe, loved, and completely at ease in her home. With her background and experience, it’s no surprise that she maintains such a safe, well-organised, and nurturing environment.
She has a lovely routine in place, but what impressed me even more is how child‑centred her approach is. She adapts the day—activities, social time, and pace—based entirely on the child’s needs, mood, and wellbeing. My little one thrived under her care, and I always felt confident knowing they were in the best hands. Truly an amazing childminder.
Berfin very kindly came to help out with my 9 month old twins on a last minute basis when I had some emergency work to deal with. Communication with Berfin has always been very easy, she was punctual and above all she was confident and had a lovely way with the babies. The twins really enjoyed spending time with Berfin, and she didn't hesitate in taking them out to the park and for walks and playing with them. Berfin is very warm and natural with babies, I would certainly recommend her nanny services to others.
We are incredibly grateful to Leah for the support and expertise she brought to our family. When Leah came to help us, our baby was 9 months old and had never slept well — waking throughout the night and leaving us completely exhausted.
From the moment she arrived, Leah was calm, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to understand our baby, our home, and our routines, and then gently helped us introduce a clear, consistent structure that worked for everyone. Her approach was supportive and reassuring, and she made what felt like an overwhelming situation suddenly feel manageable.
The transformation was remarkable. Within a short time, Leah helped us establish a routine that our baby responded to beautifully. We went from constant night waking to a baby who now sleeps peacefully from 7pm until 6am every day — something we honestly never thought would be possible.

My daughter spent a year and half with Frances and loved it. Frances is a loving, caring lady who works with such a calm, organised manner. Which as a busy parent was greatly appreciated! The home from home setting was a great introduction to childcare for our girl. She was able to make friends, learn and grow in this comforting environment. Frances has heaps of experience and was always there for advice and support when needed. Since my daughter has finished and stared preschool she has said "I don't want to go to preschool, I want to see Frances." This has highlighted to us what a close bond our daughter developed with Frances.
We are so grateful for the service Frances provided. We will all miss her! Thank you xxx
It was a great experience for our child. The childminder created a safe, caring, educational, and hygienic environment where our child felt happy and comfortable. Communication was excellent, and we always felt confident that our child was well looked after. I would highly recommend Isoken to anyone looking for reliable and nurturing childcare.
Our daughter has been with Lauren since October 2023 and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her. She is kind, caring, fun and an incredibly trustworthy pair of hands.
She spends so much time interacting with the children doing crafts and activities in her setting, aswell as planning days out for them, our daughter has enjoyed many trips to the park, beach, zoo, farm, soft play and bern on lots of other fun adventures during her time with Lauren.
Our daughter has always spoken so fondly of her and her family, her own children are a real credit to her and have always been so kind and friendly.
It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our daughter was happy, safe and well cared for. We are sad for our childminding journey to come to an end as our daughter moves on to reception, as choosing Lauren was one of the best decisions we made. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parents looking for a wonderful childminder.

We had a wonderful experience with Beccy during the time she was with our family. She brought a warm, kind presence into our home and connected beautifully with our child.
Her approach was very child-led, and we really appreciated how attentive and attuned she was. She was fully present during her time with our son , engaging thoughtfully and creating a calm, supportive environment where our son felt comfortable and seen.
She was also very reliable and easy to work with, which made everything run smoothly for us as parents. We genuinely enjoyed working with her and would happily recommend her to other families.

I am extremely happy with the care my son receives from Mrs Naghma and the team. They are kind, patient, and truly dedicated to the children they look after. From the very beginning they made our son feel comfortable and welcome, and he always looks forward to going there.
They provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment with plenty of fun and educational activities that support his development and confidence. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children and treats them as individuals.
Communication with us as parents is excellent. they keep us updated on our son’s day and any important information. Knowing our child is happy and well looked after gives us great peace of mind.
We would highly recommend Mrs Naghma and the team to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, and professional childminder.
We hired Marisol to watch our one-year-old for a few days, and she was absolutely wonderful! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking leaving a toddler with a new person, but our child warmed up to her immediately. They had so much fun together, and I could tell Marisol was truly engaged and attentive. She was very responsible and carefully followed our child’s routine. Marisol even managed to get him to do all his naps, which we consider an advanced move, as it is not easy to get him to sleep.
Overall, we highly recommend her!
Jolie was friendly and relaxed, and my four year old daughter felt comfortable with her almost immediately. Jolie started getting to know and playing with her as soon as she came in, and in no time at all my daughter was happily playing with her, comfortable as you’d like.
She seemed able to maintain a good healthy routine with her the whole evening, and got her to bed and asleep without any trouble.
I’d happily recommend Jolie to babysit your little ones!
Megan / Little Wonders is a brilliant childminder. Megan and her assistant are so warm and caring, and my son has really thrived with her. They do lots of activities and crafts which he enjoys. The communication is great too, we get pictures and updates/observations most days. Would really recommend

Marisol was fantastic with my children, they absolutely loved her immediately and did not want her to leave afterwards. She has a nice attitude to kids, very positive and understanding both with younger kids and teenagers. I am very happy to have contacted her and I would totally recommend her. Trustworthy, punctual, full of initiative and big smiles.
Tina was absolutely wonderful with my son Adam. From the first moment she was very kind, patient and caring. She made him feel comfortable and safe, and even took him to the park to play. She also sent me pictures which made me feel very reassured while I was away. Adam was happy with her and I could see she truly cares about the children she looks after. I highly recommend Tina to any parent looking for a reliable and loving childminder.

My daughter has been going to butterfly’s for just over one year and she absolutely loves it. She is a super timid little girl and they support all of her needs and put so much effort into learning about her and are always so attentive to her. She has the bestest time here 4 days a week and it’s been so lovely watching her in such a fun and calming environment. I was a very nervous mum when she was due to start childminders at the age of one and wasn’t sure if I wanted to send her at all but Andrea reassured me all the time and always keeps us updated with what my daughter is up to during the day and this has carried on every day she’s been there for a year. My only regret is not sending my daughter sooner. My son will be joining at nine months old and I have nothing but confidence that he will have the most amazing time and is in the safest hands. It really is a lovely home from home environment. Not too strict just loving, fun and caring. I love the amount of outdoor play they have and how they are aloud to be creative and messy and do their own thing without being stopped (unless it’s unsafe of course haha). Butterfly’s definitely has the children’s interests at heart and I’m so grateful both my baby’s get to go here! Thankyou butterfly’s
