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.
I am genuinely delighted to write this referral for Sam, not only because she is an outstanding childminder, but because she has also become a trusted friend to our family. Sam has been caring for my children since my eldest daughter was just 10 months old back in 2016, and she now looks after my 3 year old daughter with the same warmth, patience, and dedication she has shown from the very beginning.
Sam creates a truly wonderful environment for the children in her care. It’s a place where they feel safe, happy, and completely themselves. She has a natural ability to make every child feel valued and included, and her setting is full of enriching activities that spark curiosity and support their development. The photos she sends throughout the day are such a joy – they capture the fun, the learning, and all the little moments that show just how much the children adore being with her.
One of the things I appreciate most is how incredibly attentive she has been to my daughter’s allergies. Sam has always taken this responsibility seriously, following every guideline with care and ensuring her environment is safe and well‑managed. Her communication has been exceptional, and I’ve always felt completely confident leaving my daughter in her hands. She also makes the best vegan lemon drizzle cake!
Sam is warm, reliable, and deeply committed to the children she looks after. She has played a significant role in my daughters’ early years, and I am truly grateful for the love, stability, and positive impact she has had on our family. We are very sad to be leaving her this year, as she has been such an important part of our lives for so long. As both a parent and a friend, I would not hesitate to recommend her to any parent seeking a caring, trustworthy, and highly capable childminder.
Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!

Beverly has been looking after my son for over a year now, and she is honestly the best.
Settling your child in is always nerve wrecking for the parent, but Beverly made this such a smooth process and he was settled within 2 weeks.
Fast forward to over a year later my son absolutely loves it there, he's comfortable, he has his routine, he has some 1:1 time which really advances his development, he's well fed and looked after.
Beverly incorporates learning, developmental skills and encourages independence into their day to day, which really prepares them for the next step.
I am so appreciate of the time and effort Beverly has put into my son, and I can see the level of care she pours into all the children.
Her home is such a warm and comfortable environment and the children are genuinely happy.
Sending my son here was one of the best decisions I've made.
Susan has looked after both our children from age 1 up until school for my eldest and is still caring for our 2 year old. Finding Susan was one of the best things we ever did as parents!
From the moment we met Susan we could see the love and enjoyment she has for nurturing children and supporting their development. Susan provides a home from home for the children, always prepares healthy nutritious meals, shares a love of stories with the children and takes them on enriching and adventurous days out to Wisley, playgrounds, Hampton court, National Trust locations, farms, river walks, museums - the list goes on! Susan sets themes for her learning and tailors them to the children's age and development- they're currently enjoying the Tiger who came to Tea with lots of activities related to this.
When my eldest was due to start school she provided incredible support making the transition seamless and he still has such a special bond with her.
Susan offers advice and support when needed such as through potty training, sleep, eating and is always happy to follow your routines/preferences for your child's care.
I honestly cannot recommend Susan more, she has completed an incredible amount of training, is so knowledgeable and most importantly will love and care for your children like her own!
Honey has been an absolutely wonderful childminder for our family and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, the settling-in period was so thoughtful and reassuring. She made both my son and us as parents feel completely comfortable and confident that he was in the best hands.
One of the things that really stands out about Honey is how well she truly knows the children in her care. She makes such an effort to understand their personalities, their likes and dislikes, and always goes out of her way to make sure this is reflected in their day-to-day activities. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about every child.
Honey also works closely with parents and really mirrors the milestones we are aiming for at home. For example, she supported me with toilet training and followed the same approach we were using at home, which made such a huge difference and had a really positive impact. That consistency between home and childcare meant our son progressed with so much confidence.
She has also always been incredibly flexible and supportive. If we were ever running late or needed to send our son for an additional day, she was always so understanding and accommodating, which we really appreciated.
The children also get to experience so many lovely outings and trips, and it’s clear how much effort Honey puts into making each day engaging and fun for them.
My son spent several years with Honey before moving on to a school-based nursery, and I can truly see how the strong foundation she helped build has allowed him to flourish in this next stage. The care, encouragement and confidence she gave him during those early years have made such a difference.
In fact, our experience was so positive that we didn’t hesitate to send our second child to Honey as well. She has settled in so well and it’s so reassuring knowing she is in such a warm and nurturing environment.
A sincere thank you to Honey for everything she has done for our family over the past three years. We are so grateful for the care, dedication and love she has shown our children.
Esther and her husband have been incredible childminders, and we truly couldn’t have been happier with the care they’ve provided for our children.
Our eldest attended from September 2022 until September 2025, and thanks to their support, encouragement and structured environment, she left feeling very confident and school-ready. We now also have our younger child attending, which says a lot about the trust we have in them.
They provide such a warm, loving home environment that is always full of laughter. The children are treated like part of the family while also being gently encouraged to develop independence and excellent manners.
Esther also makes sure the children have plenty of opportunities to explore and learn through outings. They regularly attend local toddler groups and enjoy trips to places such as National Trust sites and even theme parks, which the children absolutely love.
We feel very lucky to have found Esther and her family and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a caring, fun and nurturing childminding setting
Donna is the best childminder and her team are amazing—everyone who works there is fantastic.
My son has been going to TidiBears since he was 1 years old. I was so nervous about leaving him with anyone, as I had only ever left him with my parents before.
He has been there for a year and a half now and goes three days a week. He absolutely loves it there! Even on days he doesn’t attend, he asks to see Donna, Nikki, and his friends.
He has come on leaps and bounds and is always learning something new. I couldn’t thank them enough—they go above and beyond and treat the children as if they were their own.
I would highly recommend them!!
Stella has provided amazing care for my little one and always keeps me up to date on her day to day and sends me regular pictures and videos of her having a blast in her care. The genuine love and care she has for children was very clear from day one of meeting her and made her an obvious choice to look after my precious little girl, I couldn’t recommend her enough.

My son has been going to this childminder for 2 years now, and I’m so happy that we chose them. Aunty Naghma and her team are wonderful people, my son is always happy going there, I see him growing and developing day by day, and it’s partly thanks to them. They are really kind, welcoming and flexible. I 100% recommend this childminder. You won’t regret it!

Daniela stepped in as a full time nanny when our regular nanny was away for a month. She is tidy, conscientious and the children (5 and 2) adore her. Her demeanour is always cheerful and she is happy to help and contribute to the smooth running of the household; preparing healthy food for the children, managing their laundry and keeping the play area and kitchen neat and tidy. She continues to work with us when we need an extra hand.
Naomi mainly looks after our youngest son (4 days out of 5) after school, but she has also had our oldest. Her home is both warm and welcoming. She creates fun activities whilst also picking up on indvidual needs, giving space or hugs; whichever is required! We know that when our children are in her care, they are loved, understood and having fun!
Maryam has been fantastic with our youngest. She has been patient and very attentive dealing with our 4 year old. From the first communication she was very warm and happy to answer my questions putting me at ease and reassuring us as a family. I would highly recommend Maryam.

Rana has been absolutely wonderful with our six-month-old son. She comes twice a week for a couple of hours and has quickly become someone we really trust with him. She is very gentle, attentive, and clearly experienced with babies.
What I particularly appreciate is how supportive she has been not only with the baby but also with me as a new mum. She has helped with practical things like preparing food and introducing solids, organising baby clothes, and sharing helpful advice. Her presence in the house is calm and reassuring, and our son is always happy and relaxed with her.
Rana is reliable, kind, and thoughtful. I would happily recommend her to any family looking for someone caring and trustworthy to help with their baby.

Our daughter has been going to Naomi since she was 11 months old. Naomi has been the best thing that ever happened to our daughter, she is now nearly 4 and still goes to Naomi and is as happy as ever. Naomi takes the children out on day trips to farms, theme parks, soft plays and lots more. Our daughter enjoys being there so much and has made such good friends with the other children. She also sees Naomi outside of her normal hours - Naomi has become family to us and we would be lost without her! Cannot recommend her enough!
Joanne has been a godsend to our family! She was the very first childcare provider my daughter has ever attended, starting when she was 10 months old, and from the beginning it was clear we had made a great choice. Right away we could tell Joanne is very experienced. She's also got a super calm demeanour that puts kids at ease fast, but she also is really fun and joins in on the activities she proposes, like dressing up for World Book Day. She's super thoughtful with the little ones and makes them feel special, be it a special date like Christmas or birthdays or during the everyday, and as a result my daughter settled in super quickly and is now thriving under her care. Her communication skills are great and she's super flexible, which is fundamental so we can conciliate both work and childcare.
Choosing a childcare provider is not easy, but when we met Joanne it truly felt like a no-brainer.
Thank you Joanne <3
Rachel has looked after our toddler and baby on a few occasions and we're really happy with her. She is professional, warm and great with both our toddler and baby. She always comes prepared with fun, age-appropriate activity ideas that keep the little ones entertained and engaged. Both children feel very at ease with her. I'd highly recommend Rachel as a babysitter.

We started with Layla, Emma and Annie in the Summer of 2025 and we've had a great experience as a family. My daughter (2 years old) loves it there and she will often come home talking about the fun she has had as well as the delicious food she gets. What's also great is that they introduce lots of different types of foods to the children and they take them out to different playgroups, activities etc. so they can be in different environments. They have also been really helpful with potty training and general advice for a first time mum. I cannot recommend this setting enough especially if you want your child to attend somewhere more personal and I know that when my newborn starts this year, she will have the best care!
Jo has cared for our son for almost 18 months. From the very beginning, Jo has created such a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment that our son has absolutely thrived in.
Jo has a wonderful ability to make children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. Every day is filled with thoughtful activities, outdoor adventures, creative play, and opportunities for the children to develop socially and emotionally. Jo puts so much effort and genuine care into everything she does for the children in her care.
She has really taken the time to understand our sons personality, encourage his confidence, and celebrate his milestones with us. We always feel completely reassured leaving him in her care, knowing he is not only safe but truly happy.
Communication is always excellent, and Jo keeps us updated with photos, videos, stories from the day, and little moments that mean so much to us as parents. It feels like our son is part of a very special extended family.
Another thing we truly appreciate is the homemade, nutritious meals Jo provides. She puts so much care into preparing healthy and balanced food for the children.Our son was introduced to a variety of wholesome meals and snacks, which really helped encourage good eating habits and a willingness to try new foods. It has given us great peace of mind knowing he was enjoying fresh, home-cooked meals each day.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jo and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any child in her care will be supported, encouraged, and loved in the most wonderful way.
My little boy has been going to Ann four days a week since he was 12 months. I feel so grateful to have found Ann and had such a positive experience for my son. He loves her an loves being part of her small group! They are out most of the day which he loves because he’s very active! She’s very reliable, trustworthy and flexible. I have noticed how much he has come on and he’s a very happy and confident little boy. She has been leading on his potty training and able to give us helpful advice about most things.
Our son joined Jane’s Sweetness Camp when he was 17 months old after we decided to move him from another nursery that we were not happy with. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made.
From the very beginning, we could feel the genuine love, care, and enthusiasm they have for every child. The children are treated with so much warmth and patience, and it’s clear that this is not just a job for them—they truly care about the children they look after.
They also put great thought into supporting each child’s development. When our son first joined, he wasn’t speaking yet. However, within just about a month, we started to see a big change. He began saying colours and shapes in English, and gradually became much more willing to communicate in daily life. It has been wonderful to see his confidence grow, and now he happily tries to express himself both in English and Chinese!
Another thing we really appreciate is the amazing home-made food that Maryori cooks. Our son can be quite a fussy eater at home, but he genuinely enjoys the meals there, which says a lot!
Most importantly, we know our son is in a happy, safe, and nurturing environment where he is truly looked after. Seeing him settled, comfortable, and happy there means the world to us. We are very grateful for the care they provide and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a wonderful childminder. Thank you Jane, Maryori, Jessie and Jennifer!
