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 needed help with our newborn because he was so needy that we were getting no sleep and he seemed constantly agitated. The moment Ellie held him, he instantly became calmer and Ellie addressed his needs so well, we had our first cry-less night in weeks. Also, she pointed out that part of his behaviour can be explained by reflux and gave us many practical tips to address his discomfort, something we wouldn’t have noticed and handled correctly otherwise . We as parents were also comfortable with Ellie taking care of our little one even though I was reluctant to get help at first place.
We are incredibly happy with Marjan. She is experienced, kind, and truly wonderful with children. Our daughter has never been with anyone outside the family before, so we were quite nervous but Marjan made the transition unbelievably easy.
From the very first session, she created a calm and loving environment, and our daughter now genuinely looks forward to her weekly time with her. It’s clear that Marjan knows exactly how to connect with little ones, and her warm personality makes her a joy to have around. We feel very lucky to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
I have had the pleasure of Carly supporting my business on numerous occasions, both for regular babysitting bookings and at weddings where she has confidently taken sole charge of children ranging from babies to school age. Her calm, nurturing approach puts parents and children at ease instantly. She is punctual, trustworthy, and communicates clearly. Whether working alongside me or independently, she provides a high standard of childcare and goes above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and engaged. Carly is a wonderful babysitter who I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Any family would be really lucky to have Carly.

Kiana has been a fantastic nanny to our daughter from age one until three. She has been caring, proactive and conscientious at all times. Kiana has engaged our daughter in a wide range of educational, developmentally appropriate and fun activities, often finding unique ways of playing with resources we already have. Our daughter has loved the imaginative play and crafting in our home and Kiana also takes her out to agreed organised activities and play dates. Kiana has helped us with cleaning and cooking, both to a very high standard. Kiana took the lead in potty training and now settling our daughter into preschool. She has never let us down in any way. She uses her initiative whilst also respecting our wishes. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found her, and are so pleased that our daughter has had such a positive role model. We recommend Kiana unreservedly.
Our 2 year old has been with Melissa for over a year now and his big brother attends occasionally in the holidays. Melissa is warm and kind and has enabled them to settle really well. Melissa knows our little boy really well and really understands his strengths, needs and where he is with his development. I’m always impressed with the creativity and effort Melissa puts in to organising varied activities and learning opportunities. She has been really flexible and easy to liaise with throughout. I would highly recommend her services for a relaxed, home from home and personal childcare option.
Nabeela is a lovely childcare provider! She's super caring and patient with the kids. My daughter seems really happy and comfortable around her. The setup is safe and welcoming, and I love that I get regular updates about her day. Would definitely recommend!
Claudette has been a primitive part of our lives for the past few months. After my c section, I had to overcome my wound reopening with weekly visits to the Nurse. The journey to recovery has been smooth sailing with the help and support from her and have always felt a sense of peace in her presence. She is AMAZING with my 5 month old, and started caring for him when he just reached 2 months. I have never been so grateful for her support! Thank you Claudette for just being YOU!

Michelle has been caring for my daughter for 2.5 years, since she was 6month old. From day one I noticed Michelle showered the children with such love and warmth.
It’s only because we are moving that we are leaving michelle’s amazing care.
Michelle is so happy, energetic and always a big smile in the mornings.
Michelle’s home is like a second home for her, so warm and welcoming.
Michelle is always providing lots of fun learning activities, and always keeps us up to date .
Our little one has done nothing but grow in confidence and learn so much from Michelle.
My daughter was so excited everyday to go to Michelle's settings.
Michelle provided healthy meals, snacks and a clean environment and great settings. Always out and about with the children.
Michelle was a godsend when it came to potty training her advice and help made the process so much smoother.
Michelle was always so flexible and accommodating to our needs.
I do believe that in the early ages is the most important thing for a baby to feel protected and loved, and with Michelle you know your precious will get the best cuddles and be well looked after.
She is honestly amazing.
We will miss Michelle so much
Thank you for everything.
We highly recommend michelle.
I cannot recommend Reka enough. Not only does she provide a warm and loving environment for the children she looks after, she also develops, inspires and teaches them along the way.
Reka is an outstanding care provider who is incredibly creative and inventive. While looking after my 3/4 year old son, she came up with so many games and activities which were tailored to his personal interests. Every week he would come home fizzing with excitement at the latest craft they made together whether it was a live volcano or a rocket. No week was the same and she came up with “upside down days” and themed days to make sure her kids had fun. She also took them into nature regularly and taught them piano.
Moreover, Reka was attuned to my son’s feelings and moods and adapted her support depending on his needs that week. For instance, when my son became a big brother and was unsettled at home she ensured he felt extra special and secure while under her care.
If you are looking for an exceptional childminder in this area, please do not hesitate to book Reka. She’s very special indeed.
Zuzi is an exceptional childminder. Our daughter (M) started with her at 9 months old as Zuzi offered us the option of settling into her setting over a few months, a few hours a week and this has been so beneficial for our little girl. She also came to visit us at home when we were unsure if she would find it difficult settling, and never hesitated to make it easy for us as a family. This included looking after her for adhoc days and hours when we needed help.
Zuzi supports us with advice and guidance and although M is not yet able to verbalise it, we can see that she has made a secure and loving attachment with Zuzi.
Zuzi has a lovely large kitchen area and takes the children out a lot. She’s very flexible on naps and doesn’t mind if M needs a walk in the fresh air in order to fall asleep. She manages to balance a mix of activity and downtime that fits around each child.
M has been with Zuzi for a few months, and as this is our first child we were anxious to get it right for her before returning to work. We can honestly say, Zuzi is everything we wished to find in another caregiver and more. She is patient, kind, loving and the sort of person you want your little one to grow up around.
My son has absolutely thrived in Songita’s care. She’s a wonderful childminder who truly prioritises development, enjoyment and safety. The variety of meals and snacks she provides has been fantastic, helping to encourage my son explore food with confidence. I couldn’t praise or thank Songita enough - we’re so pleased with the care she gives, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
My son joined Daisy daycare at 7 months old and I can confidently say it is one of the best decisions we have made as a family. I was very nervous about him starting so young but Sophia and her team have constantly made me feel at ease during his time with them. They are very proactive, always communicate with you, send pictures and update everything on the app. My son has developed so much since joining and gets so excited when he sees his aunties every morning. Nothing puts a parent at ease more than knowing our son is safe, loved and cared for. Thank you Sophia and your team for all you do!
Natalie has really helped my Son not only with Maths and English, but also his confidence in the class room. She is patient and understanding and quickly compiled an appropriate lesson plan, tailor made for him.
I use nealearning for my twin 8 year old daughters, and I’m really happy with Esi and Natalie’s service. They tailored their lessons around the girls and their knowledge & personalities. They are incredibly flexible and really show care in their teaching. My children really like both tutors and it’s great to see them grow in their confidence with maths and English. I have already recommended them to two other parents, so definitely give them a try if your thinking of a patient and professional tutoring service.
Marie was great with my little one who was 2 months old at the time. She took really great care of my daughter who was returned home happy and well looked after. My daughter got along with Marie from the get go, which was reassuring for me. I would definitely recommend her services.

Orooj has been supporting our family since 2018. As a working mother of three, I have relied on her assistance at various times. The longest period of her service was from 2019 to 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when both my partner and I, as key workers, were required to continue working on site.
Throughout this time, Orooj demonstrated reliability and trustworthiness, providing a high standard of care for my children. She consistently maintained a positive and nurturing relationship with them, and her support was invaluable to our family.
Although we do not require full-time childcare now, but we know we can always rely on Orooj’s support whenever needed.
We booked Donna for a family wedding last weekend and she was simply excellent. Our 3,5 year old was over the moon to have someone to bring new toys and play trains with him. Donna even got our 9 month old to sleep so I could enjoy the evening of the wedding. That’s something nobody other than me or my husband managed so far. We’re so grateful for her and it won’t be the last time that we will require her help. Thanks so much Donna!
