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 little one had learnt so much with Jasmine. She brings creative activities to match his interests and curiosity. He is always so happy to see her and it warms my heart. I trust her and feel that my child's well-being and development is important to her and she has a lot of love for him- that's all you want from a childminder really... someone that really feels like they are part of the family.
Choosing childcare for your child is one of the hardest decisions a parent has to make, and after a very difficult experience with another childminder, I was incredibly anxious about leaving my daughter in someone else’s care again. Finding Sam was the best thing that could have happened to our family.
My daughter is a wonderful little girl, but she can be anxious, stubborn, emotional, and has struggled with eating issues. Sam took the time to truly understand her and adapted her care to meet her individual needs. Her patience, kindness, and flexibility were remarkable, and she always made us feel supported every step of the way.
The home-from-home environment Sam created was exactly what my daughter needed. It gave her the security and comfort to build her confidence, develop socially, and grow into a much happier and more independent little girl. Sam never tried to fit her into a box; instead, she worked with her personality and needs, helping her thrive at her own pace.
As parents, knowing our daughter was happy, safe, and understood gave us such peace of mind. Sam’s support extended beyond childcare – she became a trusted and valued part of our lives.
We will always be grateful for everything Sam has done for our daughter and our family. She truly saved us when we needed it most, and we will miss her enormously. Any child would be lucky to be cared for by her.
Jamie currently looks after my fifteen year old daughter (who is more like a 6/7 year old and attends a special school), for two after-school sessions a week. For the first time in years, I have peace and can stay at the office til 5pm, knowing my daughter is in the best of hands. This is priceless, as you will know. I liked Jamie as soon as I met her but the acid test was my daughter. My daughter came and sat near Jamie and largely ignored her, but Jamie asked her the right questions and just said the right things. My daughter turned to me after five minutes and said “I like her” and I immediately knew Jamie was right for us. I would recommend Jamie to anyone, she’s just lovely. She’s also extremely well-qualified (if that matters to you).

Kleverclogs is a brilliant childcare service. Our son (2 years) has been attending for 5 months now, he was previously at a large nursery. Since being with Kleverclogs he has absolutely thrived, his speech, behaviour, social skills and general play has massively improved. We wish we had started him here a lot sooner. Our daughter (nearly 1) will soon be joining; I feel completely confident that she will also thrive and have the best time everyday with all the other lovely children who attend.
Louise, Stella and Roy are so passionate and amazing in everything they do for the children and for the parents too. Thank you for all you do.
I highly recommend Kleverclogs!

Our son has been with Holly since April 2024 and we couldn't be happier. She's warm, caring, and always has fun activities planned.
Holly genuinely loves what she does and it shows. As a parent, knowing your child is happy and well looked after makes such a difference, and Holly gives me that peace of mind completely.
We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder who truly cares.
We've used Aga to care for our little boy now 2 years 8 months for occasional days over the last year. She's been really reliable and we've felt comfortable with her throughout. She's kept us regularly updated and checked things out with us. Our little boy has developed a good relationship with her and will ask about when she is coming. Aga made a lot of effort to base activities on his interests, books, songs etc. And took him for outings. We'd definitely recommend!
Saiqa looked after our twin boys full time from when they were 8 months old till they were ready for school. All school holidays too, it was our kids second home. With Saiqa, you don’t just get a loving and trustworthy childminder for your kids, you get a family friend for life.
My daughter has been with Tuli for the past year, first of all I have to say that Tuli is very flexible and will accommodate my daughter if I need to make changes and that’s been a great help.
Both Tuli and her assistant Jasmine are caring and naturing and create a fun and challenging environment for the children. My daughter often comes home singing new songs she has learnt with Tuli.
Im very pleased with our overall experience.
Marguerita has been looking after my daughter for a few hours every week since she was 7 months and is absolutely fantastic with her. They play games, sing songs and have a lovely time together. She is very attentive, caring and trustworthy and I would highly recommend her
I cannot recommend Jess highly enough. From the very beginning, she made the settling-in process so easy and reassuring with gradual settling days that allowed Mia to build her confidence at her own pace.
Communication has been excellent throughout. We receive regular updates, photos, and messages during the day, which gives us real peace of mind especially now that Mia is under Jessica's care 3 days a week.
The environment Jess provides is wonderful. The playroom is beautiful and filled with a wide variety of resources that encourage learning and exploration. There are so many opportunities for open-ended play. It is impressive to see that Jess plans engaging, age-appropriate activities such as water play, which Mia absolutely loves.
We are also really impressed with the healthy breakfasts and snacks that are provided.
What truly stands out is Jessica's calm, caring nature. She creates a warm and nurturing atmosphere where I am certain Mia feels safe, happy, and valued. Mia has created such a lovely bond with her which is lovely to see.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a dedicated, professional, and caring childminder, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family.

Words can’t thank you enough for the love and care you’ve given our baby boy, especially when we needed it most. Leaving is so hard, you’ve been amazing!! We’ll miss you dearly and would return in a heartbeat! You have been so supportive, caring and have the warmest home. A true Home from Home. We appreciate you Liliana, From the bottom of our hearts Thank you!❤️

What would we do without Amber? Amber looks after our son Francis 2 - 3 days/week and, truly, she makes Francis feel like part of the family. She has nurtured him into the toddler he is today and, to be quite honest, he always looks disappointed when I arrive to pick him up. We cannot recommend Amber enough!
On our holiday near Cheltenham, Tessa watched our two 3.5 year olds, 1.5 year old, and infant so we could go for dinner. She was very responsive in scheduling, arrived early, and was overall great to work with. She won the toddlers over quickly playing pretend and put all four down to bed seamlessly! Couldn’t recommend more highly!
Amber has looked after our little one for nearly a year now and she is amazing. She is kind, caring, a natural with kids and I always feel safe when she is looking after my baby. He loves her too and her whole family feels like a second family to us. I am forever grateful for her love and care. Her home is kid friendly, clean, safe and warm and she is an excellent cook. She is very flexible and easy to get in touch with. I don’t know what I would do without Ambers help.

My little boy has come on so much since being cared for by Becky since September. He loves being in her care. Great communication from Becky, also, the daily updates are great!

We cannot thank the nursery team enough for the incredible care, support, and dedication they show every day. Our son absolutely loves coming to nursery and asks every single day if he can go. Even at home, he talks about his teachers and friends constantly, which shows how happy, safe, and valued he feels in this wonderful environment.
One of the things we love most is how the teachers encourage his interests. He often brings his favourite books from home, and the staff take the time to read them with him, which has helped nurture his love of reading and learning.
The communication from the nursery is exceptional. The photos and videos shared throughout the day allow us to see all the amazing activities, learning experiences, and happy moments he enjoys. It is wonderful to feel so connected to his daily experiences.
The progress he has made since joining the nursery has been remarkable. At the beginning, he had a significant speech delay due to growing up with three languages at home.
Thanks to the patience, encouragement, and support of the nursery staff, his confidence and communication skills have flourished. He can now count, recite the alphabet, and confidently identify colours and shapes.
We are incredibly proud of how far he has come.
The nursery has also been a huge support to our family. Whenever we need additional help or childcare, the team is always understanding and accommodating. They have also guided us through all the funding options available, ensuring we receive every possible support.
The teachers and staff go above and beyond in every way. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care make this nursery truly exceptional. We are so grateful for everything they do and feel incredibly lucky to have our son in such a nurturing, stimulating, and loving environment.
Thank you for making such a positive difference in our son's life.
After a phonecall, we tried to meet up, but each time she would cancel lastminute and ask to postpone the meeting to the next day due to surprise events: GP appointment (cancelled 1 hour before our meeting), Car issues (cancelled only 10mins before our meeting!), and a 'Meeting' (cancelled only 15mins before our meeting!). Lianna clearly doesnt respect me or my time as a client, she made my day more complex, as I had to keep adjusting my baby's sleep-feed schedule to try allow us time to speak. So I spent 3 consecutive days trying to meet up with her... But she seems too busy and/or disorganised... very unprofessional.
After the 3rd time she bailed on me, I sent the following whatsapp message: "15mins before our 3rd arranged slot. Thats three times youve asked me to reschedule. It seems you are too busy. You have really inconvenienced me these past 3 days as I have had to adjust my babys schedule to allow for us to talk. But each time you have disappointed. Why would you think I would want to meet now? Please delete my number and my data"

My son has been looked after by Kerry for almost a year now and he loves going. He doesn’t even say bye to me when I drop him off 😂 - he’s straight in.
He always does lots of arts and crafts, and we get regular photo updates of him playing with the other children Kerry looks after. 100% recommend her as a childminder!
