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.
Emma has looked after my daughter from the age of 1 year's old right through to her very last day today before starting school in September. Emma is the most compassionate, caring, and loving childminder that we have been so fortunate to have had look after our daughter.
Her setting is exceptional, with lots of activities and crafts daily. My daughter has come home each day talking about her wonderful day with friends and all the fun they have had with Emma.
I don’t think there is enough words to express how wonderful and grateful we have been to have Emma part of our beautiful girl’s journey, for all the love, support and care she has provided.
I would without a doubt recommend Emma as a Childminder to anyone looking for a Childminder.
Kelly is such a wonderful childminder and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough! She creates such a lovely, warm and homely environment where the children feel happy, safe and completely at ease.
She goes above and beyond to give the children amazing experiences and opportunities, taking them on fantastic adventures and creating lots of wonderful memories. Her crafts and activities are always so creative and engaging, and you can really see how much thought and care she puts into everything she does.
Kelly is caring, kind, friendly and genuinely passionate about the children in her care. You can tell that she puts her heart into what she does, and the children absolutely adore her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her! ❤️
We moved our son to Little Lambs after a few minor(ish) issues at his previous setting and it's been such a positive change.
The communication here is great. It's really lovely that parents seem to have a genuine say. I mentioned (in a passing comment ) my son's favourite meal on the tour and it actually appeared on the autumn menu, I feel listened to.
The staff are experienced and loving and the managers know the children individually. You can tell they completely know my son as a person. I get quite a few app updates in the day which is comforting but what i I noticed in the photos especially is that they are using the things he loves to teach him.
It's just a really lovely setting. So glad we made the move. Highly recommend.

Paige is wonderful with my children! She is conscientous, fun, so bubbly and my kids just love her! They are always so excited to go to Paige and they always come back happy and full of stories about what Paige has done with them today 🥰 10/10 highly recommend!
Anxious parent alert! My little one started at Little Lambs in May 2026. after being let down last minute by our original nursery. I was undecided between a childminder and a nursery but it had such a personal feel i signed up and I just want to say how impressed I am with how the team have been with my little boy. They are so attentive and welcoming it feels like I'm dropping him off with older sisters/aunties rather than staff. The managers are so lovely and attentive. They knew i was nervous so arranged extra settling in sessions ( no cost) and made sure to send plenty updates on the app they use. He has a wobble on the first 2 days of dropping him off which is expected but the staff didn’t sugar coat it and was so open and honest with me. I much preferred that than it made me feel we was working together rather than feeling helpless.
My little boy is now so happy to go in walking, singing so much, inventive and exhausted haha! he has a great realtionship with the girls there and really is learning so quickly. I'm so happy with our choice and count my blessings the first nursery didn't work out. Also to add i was given the cutest little welcome pack with tissues, a tea bag, and a poem and tons of information to read through… such a lovely touch. Funnily enough I'd walked past it so many times and never really noticed it was there. .A true hidden gem! Thank you team for taking such great care of my precious boy.
Jo has been absolutely unbelievable! From the very first day, she made my daughter feel so comfortable, happy and cared for. She loved every single minute of attending and would always be so excited to go. She had such a wonderful time that she was genuinely sad to leave!
Jo is incredibly warm, caring and attentive, and it was so reassuring knowing my daughter was in such safe and loving hands. She created such a fun, welcoming environment where she could play, learn and be herself.
We couldn’t have asked for anyone better and feel so lucky that my daughter had Jo looking after her. She has made such a positive impact, and we will be forever grateful. We would recommend Jo to anyone without hesitation — absolutely amazing!
Experiences - our little Jiji has had an amazing couple of months with the quality of experiences Debby and Allan provides, whether it's beach days, forest outings and indoor activities. We feel this gives our daughter great engagement with the outside world and also good for her development in experiencing things.
Care - Most importantly, Debbie and Allan have this in abundance and are always providing updates on what our daughter is doing which gives us peace of mind as well as confidence that she is well looked after. Thank you Debbie and Allan
Behaviours - This is an area Debbie and Allan also excel at in teaching the kids good manners as well as letting them grow and mature in their behaviours.

Our little one started with Aunty Linda when he was 15 months old, and she has been absolutely amazing. She has played such a huge part in his development, and thanks to all her hard work, he is now ready to start big school this September.
We were so impressed with the care, love, and support Aunty Linda gave him that we didn’t hesitate to send our second child to her as well. He started with her at just 9 months old.
Aunty Linda has been nothing but caring, patient, professional, and dedicated. She creates a safe, happy, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and are so grateful for everything she has done for our family. We would highly recommend Aunty Linda to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

My son is a sensitive child, extremely clingy and not good with any change. I tried him in a nursery but he was so distressed there that eventually I pulled him out and thought I'd try a child minder. I'm so glad I found Sarah.. my son settled so fast, I was shocked! And not only that but he got so excited when he knew he was going there! He blossomed, gained confidence, made friends and just absolutely adores everyone at Sarah's Tots. He is very possibly on the spectrum but that was no problem at all for Sarah and she has done absolutely everything she can to help me, give advice and is so understanding. After two years here, he is now due attend preschool in September to try and prepare him for school,I wish he could stay here forever! Not only is my son desperately going to miss going here, but I'm going to miss it so very much,too. The peace of mind knowing he was so cared for, safe and happy are utterly priceless. I couldn't recommend Sarah's Tots highly enough. Your child will flourish here x
We honestly couldn’t recommend Maheen highly enough. She is absolutely outstanding and has been such a wonderful, caring and positive influence on our children.
She is incredibly lovely, friendly and bubbly, and has a real gift for making the children feel happy, safe and completely at home. The care she provides is exceptional, and you can genuinely see how much she loves what she does.
What really sets her apart is the amazing experiences and opportunities she gives the children. From exciting adventures and days out, exploring the outdoors and discovering new things, she goes above and beyond to make every day special.
We have always felt confident knowing our children are in such safe, loving and capable hands. She is truly one in a million, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their children. ⭐️❤️
Becky looked after my daughter from the age of two until she started school and she was just so amazing! The set up at her home is wonderful, she does so much with the children and my daughter came home so happy and excited to tell me all about her day! I had been at home with my daughter up until two and felt so anxious about starting work again and not being with her. Becky was just so brilliant, my daughter settled so quickly and I never once worried or felt anxious while she was with Becky. Becky updates the baby app regularly so you can enjoy finding out what they got up to each day. I thoroughly looked forward to these updates! A year after starting school, my daughter still talks about Becky so fondly and all the lovely memories she made with her. Choosing Becky as your childminder will be the best decision you will ever make! She is the best!
From the very first day, the childminder has created a warm, safe and nurturing environment where my little one feels completely at ease. Communication is excellent — I’m always kept informed about daily activities, meals, and any little achievements or moments worth celebrating. The setting is clean, organised and full of engaging resources that support learning and play. My child has developed confidence, social skills and a real excitement about attending each day. It’s clear how much thought, patience and genuine care goes into everything.
We cannot recommend Becky highly enough.
From the moment our son started, she made him feel safe, welcome, and part of the family.
The activities are brilliant — so much outdoor play, crafts, and learning through fun.
Our son comes home every day full of stories and has grown so much in confidence.
The communication is excellent and we always felt completely at ease.
We’re so grateful we found you!
Ali helped us for four full days while I worked from home and looked after my mum following an operation, and she was absolutely fantastic. It was our first time using childcare outside the family, but I felt completely at ease with her from the start. She is kind, warm, fun and incredibly trustworthy, and was completely on top of everything from feeds and hygiene to playtime and plenty of walks around the garden. She was also always punctual, which I really appreciated. She was a real joy to have around and clearly genuinely loves caring for children. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends and would absolutely use her again.

Ruthy has looked after our daughter Lily for 2 days a week for the past four years, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a more caring and dedicated childminder. Lily absolutely adores her and has had the happiest time in her care.
Ruthy is incredibly hardworking and attentive and puts a huge amount of effort into making sure the children in her care have varied, interesting and enriching experiences. Lily’s days have been filled with playgroups, library visits, trips to parks and playgrounds, as well as lots of play and activities at home. Through these groups and outings, Ruthy and Lily have also built a lovely local friendship group over the years, which I know they are both going to miss enormously when Lily starts school in September.
Ruthy makes sure we know what Lily has been doing during her time with her, keeping a daily record of activities and sharing lots of photos and videos with us along the way. She is readily available whenever we need to speak to her and has always been approachable and responsive. She has also been very flexible and accommodating when we’ve needed to make changes to our usual arrangements, which we have really appreciated.
Most importantly, Lily has been incredibly happy with Ruthy. For four years she has gone off each day excited to see her and has come home full of stories about everything they have been doing together. She has felt safe, cared for and loved, and I think that says more than anything else could about Ruthy’s genuine love for her job and for the children she looks after.
We feel incredibly lucky that Lily has had Ruthy looking after her for such a significant part of her childhood. She has played a really important part in Lily’s early years, and starting school is definitely going to be a bittersweet transition. Lily is going to miss Ruthy enormously — and so will the rest of us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to another family.

Our son started with Susy when he was just 8 months old and stayed for three wonderful years. From the very beginning, he was given so much care, attention and encouragement, with daily pedagogical and developmental activities that he absolutely loved. Raoul also created strong friendships with the rest of the crew, which made his time there even more special.
Our daughter is still with Susy and continues to thrive in her care. Susy is reliable, kind, flexible and genuinely caring, and the children are always welcomed into a warm, happy environment.
The food is fabulous!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Susy and are so grateful for everything she has done for our children. She has been such an important part of their early years, and we really couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️ She truly feels like part of our family, along with her own children and her dog Billu.
