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 couldn't have asked for a better nanny. Always caring, patient, and full of fun, creating a warm and engaging environment for our 1-year-old and 3-year-old. The children absolutely loved spending time with Skyla, whether they were building dens, drawing, reading stories, playing games, or coming up with new creative activities.
What really stood out was her ability to connect with both children at their different stages of development, ensuring each felt included, supported, and happy. She was endlessly patient, nurturing, and attentive, while also bringing plenty of energy and enthusiasm to every activity.
Skyla is highly conscientious and reliable, always punctual, organised, and thoughtful in everything they do. We had complete confidence in her care and knew our children were safe, happy, and well looked after at all times.
We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Skyla provided and would recommend them without hesitation to any family looking for a trustworthy, dedicated, and exceptional nanny.
It is nostalgic to think that 11 years ago, after a negative experience with a different service provider, we were literally “saved” by Michelle’s services. Difficult to explain in words because our family’s set up, our family life has only been possible due to this setting, due to the amazing support of Michelle and Kelsey. The values, care and the attention given to all children is beyond superb. Both of our children attend the setting on a daily basis and I can only say that they feel at home. As parents we are assured that our children are raised with principles of respect, friendship and happiness which are vital for their future. The setting was thought and created with the children in mind, allowing both playing areas as well as development/learning areas (inside and outside activities). Safety and consistency of services has always been a priority of this Childcare, always able to adapt the activities to include all ages. We are humbled to the amazing work of Michelle and Kelsey. We will never be able to properly express our gratitude.
My son started with Peps beginning of May 2026. Peps is his third childminder due to unforeseen circumstances so I was very worried about how he would settle. Peps has been great in reassuring both me and my son and he settled really quickly. He now gets excited to go to her house in the morning and is always so happy to leave me. Peps has been fantastic with him and my son loves that he gets to go to the park so often and play on the swings. I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder to care for my son. I highly recommend her! Thank you Peps for all your hardwork that you do and for caring for my son like your own.

We wanted to share our experience with Jayne, which has been overwhelmingly positive. As first-time parents, finding someone we could completely trust with our daughter was incredibly important, and Jayne has given us that confidence from the very beginning.
Our daughter started with Jayne at 11 months old and is now 16 months old, attending four full days a week. From the outset, Jayne’s professionalism, experience, and guidance were invaluable. She helped us establish good routines and created a warm, caring, home-from-home environment where our daughter has clearly thrived.
Jayne regularly takes the children to parks, playgroups, and other activities, and even when the weather is poor, she makes sure they remain engaged and entertained with suitable indoor outings and activities. It is clear that she puts a great deal of thought and care into the children’s daily experiences.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Jayne’s. She greets her with a huge smile each morning and is always happy, settled, and well cared for when we collect her. Since being in Jayne’s care, we have noticed real progress in her confidence, independent play, social interaction with other children, eating habits, and sleep routine.
We have also never had any concerns regarding food or care. Our daughter eats well with Jayne and always comes home content. Jayne has also encouraged age-appropriate independence, such as allowing our daughter to feed herself more, which has been both thoughtful and beneficial for her development.
Throughout our time with her, we have found Jayne to be caring, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing and development of the children in her care.
As a family without a local support network, Jayne’s support has meant a great deal to us. We are extremely grateful for the care she continues to provide and would not hesitate to recommend her to other parents.
We think that the terrible review that was left recently is completely unfair and doesn't give a true picture of Jayne's services. So we feel it is important to share our experience for anyone considering childcare with Jayne.
Jenny began looking after our son at 8 months old until he was 3 and 1/4 years. Words cannot express our gratitude and happiness with the care Jenny provided, a truly wonderful person who is so active and absolutely loves children. Our son was born premature and needed a little extra help which Jenny was more than happy to provide. She made a fanatic connection with our son, and as first time parents, she really helped to gently guide us through lots of firsts and was pivotal in helping to wean our son on to solid foods. Our son wasn't following the typical development milestones, but Jenny shared and celebrated with us when he reached milestones at his pace. Jenny uses tapestry which is an electronic day diary which we thought was excellent, and Jenny is fantastic at giving thorough verbal handovers at the end of each day. Jenny also helped to identify and signpost SEND services for our son. We were very sad when our time ended with Jenny, we completely trusted her with our most previous boy. We highly recommend Jenny to be part of your little one's journey.
I’m so incredibly grateful for Amelia's childcare when you have a child with SEN can be daunting, but she has been truly amazing. She is endlessly patient and possesses a wonderfully calm demeanor that makes our child feel completely secure and understood.
She perfectly balances being gentle with a lively, playful presence. Both children warm to her quickly because she is so gentle and polite. I cannot recommend her highly enough—she is brilliant, so sweet, and incredibly engaging, happily playing creative games with my children. She is an absolute gem.
My son has been with Michelle and Kelsey since he was 2 weeks old - he's almost 9 and still with them. That sums it up!! My daughter was with them from the age of 3 until she grew out of the setting.
Michelle is like a second mother to my son. She cares for him as if he's her own. Michelle's home is a home away from home for my son. I simply can't recommend her and Kelsey enough. She's definitely a rare find. It's more than a job for them and you can clearly see how passionate they are about caring for these kids. They pay attention to everything - play time, extra activities outside, meal times and nutrition, and they're culturally sensitive to individual needs. They go above and beyond and they've definitely been a blessing to me and my children.

Jill worked as our part-time nanny for several months, prior to our son starting school, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Our son has complex needs including Autism involving significant speech and language delay, sensory processing difficulties and no awareness of danger — requiring constant 1:1 supervision, particularly outdoors.
At the time of Jill starting with us, our 4yo son was unable to use sentences, causing him frustration and his words needed a lot of 'decoding' and guesswork to understand his wants and needs. He also has a couple of medical conditions requiring daily medication and swallowing difficulties, all requiring careful/close monitoring. Jill handled all of this with remarkable calm, patience and kindness, consistently applying his communication strategies, managing his medical needs confidently, and keeping him safe at all times, including out in the community.
As his mother I live with cancer and having someone we could trust completely was essential. Jill gave us that without question alongside plenty of empathy and humour. We think so highly of her that she has continued as our babysitter since her nanny role ended. Our son loves her dearly.

We couldn’t be happier with Claire! Both of my children attend, and they absolutely love it there. They are always happy, well cared for, and excited to go each day.
Claire is kind, caring, and trustworthy, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children. Knowing my kids are safe and happy gives me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to any parent.
Our daughter has been in Nicola's care since she was just 15 months old, and watching how much she has grown, developed and thrived during that time has been incredible. As parents, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is happy, safe and genuinely cared for.
Nicola has created such a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment where the children can learn through play and exploration. One thing we particularly appreciate is that she doesn't rely on screens to entertain the children. Instead, they spend their days being creative, learning new skills and making the most of her fantastic outdoor space.
Every single day during term time, Nicola takes the children to local playgroups, giving them wonderful opportunities to socialise, build confidence and take part in a variety of activities. It's a fantastic part of their routine and something our daughter has absolutely loved. During the school holidays, Nicola goes above and beyond by organising trips to parks, soft play centres and other exciting outings, ensuring the children are always active, engaged and making wonderful memories. She truly makes every day an adventure.
We have also relied on Nicola to care for our eldest daughter during the school holidays, and she has always welcomed her with the same warmth, enthusiasm and care. It speaks volumes about Nicola's abilities that she is just as brilliant with older children as she is with little ones. She has a wonderful way of engaging children of different ages, making them all feel included, valued and excited to be there.
She has also been incredibly accommodating and understanding when it has come to supporting us around our work commitments. Her flexibility and willingness to help have made such a difference to our family, and we are so grateful for her support over the years.
Above all, Nicola is completely dedicated to the children she cares for. She genuinely treats them as if they were her own, and it shows in everything she does. Our youngest daughter has flourished under her care not only in her confidence and independence but also socially and emotionally. Nicola has played such an important role in shaping her early years, and we truly believe she has given her the very best start in life.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nicola and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy and exceptional childminder.
Thank you, Nicola, for your endless kindness, dedication and love. You are truly one in a million, and every child would be lucky to have you.
My daughter has been attending this wonderful setting since she was 18 months old, and she absolutely loves her time here. The environment is incredibly positive, educational, and engaging.She gets to experience so many fantastic activities, from brilliant messy play and painting to enriching sensory play. I also love that she is regularly taken out for fun adventures at local parks and soft play centers.
Communication is always lovely, seamless, and quick; any questions or queries I have are answered almost instantly. I am also regularly updated about her eating, sleeping, and potty times, which makes it so easy to keep track of her activity throughout the day. Most importantly, Satnam is incredibly observant with my daughter and truly understands her needs. I couldn’t ask for a better, more supportive childminder. Highly recommended!

Monika has been great caring for my 3 year old daughter who has allergies and ezcema. My daughter gets on very well with Monika. Monika is always on time and professional. Monika has been caring for my daughter for around 5 months now. I would definitely recommend her to other parents. Monika engages my daughter well, they often plays games l, go to the park and read books.

Fatema is an angel in human form. Her kind is rare. The care she gives to my kids is amazing. She is considerate and flexible to suit the needs of the family. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thanks for being amazing Fatema❤️
My 2 boys have absolutely loved Jos and her family childcare services. From the very beginning, Jos has provided a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where my children have felt happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They have a large homely environment where my both boys grow and explored what made the settling process so much smoother. Jo family is DBS checked and it gives me a peace of mind before I braught my children under there care. boys enjoy a wide range of activities like playing in the garden and have built great relationships with Jos, her family, and the other children in her care. It gives us real peace of mind knowing they are in such capable and caring hands.
Oh Umay! What a wonderful minder she is to my little one . He started with her when he was 9months old . Now he his 21months and he looks forward to going there everyday. You definitely do not want your child somewhere else other than with Little cubs ! She knows my son so wells. Follows routine strictly . Clean Environment , Lovely Minder !
Our 2-year-old has been with Christine since he was 10 months old, and he absolutely loves going to her house to play. He runs up to her door for a hug and happily waves goodbye to me, which says everything about how comfortable and secure he feels in her care.
Christine provides a wide variety of activities, including arts and crafts, themed projects, and regular trips out. There is a dedicated playroom, which is well equipped and she provides nutritious, home-cooked meals and snacks.
My older children also love spending time with Christine after school and during the holidays. She collects the boys from school and always puts a great deal of thought into planning activities around their current interests, which keeps them engaged and excited.
Christine has been incredibly flexible, often providing ad hoc childcare at short notice or on days she would not normally work. She has also been very understanding and accommodating when the boys have been unwell, which has been a huge support to our family.
Christine is warm, caring, patient, and understanding with the children, and they have formed a genuine bond with her. Knowing they are in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment gives me complete peace of mind.
In all the time we have known her, Christine has been exceptionally reliable and has never taken a day off sick. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I found Miri on this site to look after my friend's 13m old girl when they were visiting from the USA, whilst we all went out for the day. Miri was exceptional from the moment I contacted her. She is warm, bubbly and the child immediately liked her. The parents were very comfortable leaving their child with Miri, who stayed in constant communication throughout the day. I have already recommended her to friends and neighbours in the area and would not hesitate to use her again in future.
Wr decided to go with Harley assuming it was right fit to care for 1yr old boy and it was perfect choice.
She did a fantastic job keeping him entertained, engaged, and happy the entire time.
Even when he was napping, she didn't just sit around. She sorted out his toys, cleaned up, and made sure his lunch set-up was ready for when he woke up, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
She is proactive, caring, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and lovely childcare provider.
She always sends me photos and updates of my daughter throughout the day which you don’t get with most nurseries. 🤍
