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.
Sam has looked after a four children a few times now, and they love her! She’s engaging without being loud, pays attention to the individual kids, and is just a nice person to have around. Not fazed by our troop of 5-13yr olds either. She’s also been reliable and communicates well.
My son has been attending Marie since 2023 and since day one he has seen it as a home from home. Marie offers a nourishing and loving environment that the children thrive in. She always takes a child led approach and is very approachable about any issues. The children are always encouraged to go outside and explore, which my son really enjoys. 100% recommend Marie for any age of children!
Gina has looked after my daughter since she was 10 months old and she is now 3. She has been such a brilliant childminder, I would thoroughly recommend her. She provides a home from home and always plans fun and messy activities the kids love. Her garden is such a lovely outside space for them in the summer, and she regularly attends a toddler group every week. The kids love her and we have always felt happy knowing our daughter is being cared for by Gina. I’ve only given 1 star for food because parents provide packed lunch.

Gosia is a warm, caring and highly professional childminder who genuinely cares about the children in her care. She provides a safe, welcoming and loving environment where children feel happy and at home.
My son enjoyed lots of fun and developmental activities that helped him learn, grow and build confidence. The setting is beautiful, clean and exceptionally well prepared.
Looking back, I would choose Gosia again without hesitation. She gave me complete peace of mind knowing my son was truly cared for.
I wholeheartedly recommend Gosia to any parent looking for wonderful childcare where their child will feel safe, happy and at home. ❤️
Katie was honestly the best thing that could have happened to our family. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and gave us the greatest gift a parent can have — peace of mind knowing that our child was safe, happy, loved and genuinely cared for.
Katie is an absolutely wonderful childminder, but more importantly, she became someone our family could truly trust and rely on. Her kindness, patience, warmth and dedication are exceptional. Our child absolutely adored spending time with her, and it was clear every single day how much love and care Katie put into everything she did.
Leaving our child with Katie was never stressful — we always knew they were in the best possible hands. She went above and beyond, and we will always be incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our family.
Finding Katie was one of the best things that ever happened to us. We honestly could not have wished for a better childminder. ❤️
We recommend Katie wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Any family lucky enough to have her as their childminder is truly blessed.
Gabriela offers the sort of childcare that makes a parent feel relaxed and a child feel happy and secure. I genuinely cannot fault the way she looked after my 3 year old. He usually finds separation quite challenging, yet he would walk into Gabriela’s warm and welcoming home with a smile and happily wave goodbye to me.. which, as his mum, said a lot. She sets healthy and appropriate boundaries while engaging with children in such a positive and caring way. She makes a real effort to understand each child, what they enjoy and how they like to play and offers a lovely range of toys and activities around their interests.
One thing I particularly admire about Gabriela is the balance she creates between caring for her own child and the children in her care. She manages the different needs and boundaries within her home really naturally, while also helping the children understand and navigate those boundaries themselves.
She kept me updated throughout the day, which I found incredibly reassuring, particularly as my son can find new environments and transitions difficult. She was also very supportive while we were going through potty training. I had told her that she could use pull-ups if things became difficult, but she chose to continue supporting him without them because she felt that was in his best interest and would help maintain the progress he had already made. I really appreciated that she was willing to put in the additional effort rather than simply choosing the easier option.
Most importantly, I always felt that my son was safe, understood and genuinely cared for with Gabriela. Seeing how comfortable and happy he was going into her home gave me enormous peace of mind, and I would happily recommend her to other parents.
I highly recommend Monika as a childminder. As a childminder myself, I know what good childcare should look like, so choosing someone to care for my own son was very important to me.
I’ve been very happy with Monika’s care. She is caring, professional and provides lots of lovely activities for the children. Most importantly, my son was always happy in her care.
Both as a mum and a childcare professional, I would happily recommend Monika to other parents. ❤️
My little boy had attended since he was 14 months old, from the get go Jo and Ryan went above and beyond for my little one and I honestly can’t thank them enough for giving him the best first start.
I am absolutely gutted that he has to move upto school as I’d keep him there forever if I could!
Jo and Ryan welcome the children into their home and treat the children as if they are their own! Viewing the setting before he started honestly made me fall in love with the setting even more so - they have everything children of all ages could ever want to play with.
I’d have no hesitations about sending my child and if I had another baby they would go to Jo and Ryan without a doubt.
My little girl been with Dawn since 2024. Dawn is amazing, she is very caring, knowledgeable. From the 1st day we met her we knew she is the one. Her house is amazing and perfectly set up for children. The garden is amazing.
Dawn always keeps us posted about their days and what they doing, learning.
Overall she is amazing and the children all love her !

I was so apprehensive about finding a childminder for the first time until Paulina popped up and put all my worries at ease. I took my son over and she made him feel so comfortable that he slotted right in like one of the family. Her space is super cute with toys and garden space galore, he always begs to stay longer when I collect him. She’s been an absolute god send for our family.

Melissa worked with our family for 6 years, caring for our 3 children, between the ages of 0 to 11 years. Melissa is an excellent nanny. She is intuitive with the needs of children from newborn to teen, and develops deep, meaningful relationships with a long lasting connection. My children are now 16, 13 and 9 and they talk about Melissa with love and happy memories. I credit my children’s aptitude and fondness of reading to Melissa for all the stories she read to them.
I was able to return to work when my third child was 6 months, knowing that Melissa could look after all three children excellently, alongside taking care of appropriate household responsibilities.
She is reliable, caring, patient, funny, creative and honest. My children no longer require a nanny, but if I needed one, I know who I would call!
I couldn’t have wished for better childminders for my 2 boys, Sue and Jess have supported them so well from only being 6 and 10 months old, they have progressed amazingly over the 2.5 years and we are unfortunately having to move them due to moving house. The home from home environment was perfect and made my boys never want to leave, literally!
I’m not sure there’ll ever be any setting that they’ll feel as comfortable as they did here!
She took care of our 1 year ol for 7 months. She's loving and experienced.
The baby really took to her and enjoyed her company all the time. They went to the park, the library and soft plays, sang and read
I hope she's very happy with her next family, they'll be lucky to have her.

Kim has looked after my twin boys for almost 3 years now (from 11months - almost 4) and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childcare experience.
I was so nervous going back to work and leaving them but Kim put my mind at rest - her experience, kindness and affinity for the children in her care was obvious.
The children are always busy with crafts, puzzles, books, playing in the garden (even digging for potatoes) and Kim has always made a special effort to keep them engaged by tailoring their activities to each child’s specific area of interest.
My children absolutely love Kim and Ray and I trust them both implicitly. Choosing them as our childminders was one of the best decisions we’ve made - could not recommend more highly!
Demi was our daughter's nanny for five years (1Y to 6Y old). Initially, she spent all day caring for and teaching our daughter; then she continued with school drop-offs and pre- and after-school care once our daughter was old enough. Our daughter was always happy to be with Demi, and as parents, we always felt that our daughter was safe and cared for. Demi was incredibly flexible during her time working for us, and as much as my daughter can stress me out, Demi was always so calm, no matter my daughter's mood each day. We were sad when Demi told us she was moving away from London, but we have no doubt she will be a wonderful nanny for someone else near her new home.
I truly cannot describe the appreciation I have for Emily as my little boys childminder. She is kind, caring and puts so much love and pride into all of her children.
The area she has for the kids is brilliant, set separate from the house with its own toilet it’s ideal. But on the odd occasion her family are around they are just wonderful with all the kids, and always make time for a quick kick of the football. Emily’s family are the most welcoming to everyone.
Nothing is ever too much to ask from Emily and my boy truly loves her as family, as do we. Park visits, picnics, woodland walks, totts groups and aquarium visits the children have the very best time, no day the exact same, but routine is always key for her. Even when they’re not out exploring, they are constantly reading, painting, gardening and dancing the days away. They have so much fun, so much so my 7 year old has begged to go during school holidays on more than one occasion.
As a very anxious mum, finding the right childcare was extremely important to me. Emily was the first childminder I met and I was blown away in disbelief of how great she is. Emily made the transition super easy and the constant photos of their days brightens up mine. I cannot thank Emily enough for all she does for us as a family and of course for our boy.
There aren’t enough stars in the sky to rate her service
We're very pleased to have Laura as a nanny for our 4 y/o boy and our 1 y/o girl. Laura has got a lot of energy to play with the kids, she is always doing fun activities with them, lots of creativity, very mindful of their safety as well. Our kids genuinely really liked spending time with her. Oh, and she is never on her phone, always fully dedicated to the kids, something of a rarity these days!
Honestly, I could write a million reviews for Zoozoo childcare and it wouldn’t be enough. Both Victoria & Gareth go above and beyond for the children they care for. I had my boys name on their list before he was even born. I messaged them 2 days after he was born just to put his name down because they were the only people I wanted looking after my child when I was due to go back to work. (excessive, I know 😂)
The bonds they gain, the stuff they teach & the feedback says it all for itself. I am grateful for what they do for our children x
Our daughter started going to Jackie's over a year ago when she was only 9 months old, we met Jackie when I was pregnant and from the first meeting we knew she was going to be the right childminder for us.
Jackie is kind, caring, patient and attentive towards all of her children. Jackies home is a lovely setting and she goes above and beyond to provide brilliant activities and fun outings. We are able to go to work knowing our daughter is having a fantastic time in a safe environment.
Jackie provides regular updates on our child's development via Tapestry alongside plenty photos. We would 100%recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and friendly childminder.
I don’t feel like a web review can do justice to ZooZoo. We had issues with our 1-year old at a big nursery and eventually pulled him out. From the moment we first interacted with Victoria and Gareth our minds were at rest, and we knew that our little one would be in a happy and safe environment. V&G go above and beyond in terms of activities, support, development, etc. but the most important thing for us was the communication, especially during a difficult period. They not only shaped and helped our boy grow into the lovely little 3-year old he is too , but they helped us to feel at ease and comfortable leaving him, and we are forever grateful for that. Thank you for all the happy times, the stories, the memories, the laughs we’ve shared!
