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.
To our wonderful Minda,
It’s hard to put into words just how much I want to thank you for the incredible, loving care you’ve given my daughter over the past four and a half years—nearly half her little life, and all her most formative, magical early years. You haven’t just looked after her; you’ve nurtured her, guided her, and helped her grow into the bright, kind, confident little girl she is today.
Beyond all the fun, laughter, and safe, happy days you gave her, I’m so grateful for all the life skills you gently taught her—independence, kindness, sharing, how to care for others, curiosity, and so many little daily habits that will stay with her forever. You’ve been such a steady, loving presence, and she’s learned so much from you that we’ll carry with us always.
Saying goodbye has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Even though I know this moment needed to come, and moving on to school is such an exciting, natural next chapter, it’s been so deeply emotional for both of us. You’ve become such a huge part of our lives, and leaving your warm, familiar, wonderful care feels like saying goodbye to someone so very dear.
Thank you for loving her like one of your own, for every hug, every story, every moment of patience and joy. You’ve given her the most perfect start, and I will always be so grateful. She’ll take so much of what you’ve taught her with her as she steps into school, and we’ll miss you terribly.
With all my love and deepest thanks,
Marina & NyNY 💛
We cannot recommend illy highly enough. She has been an absolutely wonderful addition to our family and has provided exceptional care with such warmth, kindness, patience, and professionalism.
From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our child in her care. She is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She always go above and beyond to make sure the child feels happy, safe, supported, and cared for.
What really stands out is the genuine connection she has built with our child. She is engaging, nurturing, and thoughtful, and she always make the effort to create a fun, positive, and stimulating environment. Whether it is through activities, play, outings, or simply being there when needed, she brings so much positivity and care to her role.
She is also extremely responsible and organised. Communication is excellent, she is respectful of our routines and preferences, and she handle’s every responsibility with maturity and good judgement. We have always felt that our child is in safe and capable hands.
Most importantly, she has cared for our child with genuine affection and treats him with the same patience, respect, and kindness that any parent would hope for. Her dedication and commitment have meant so much to us as a family.
Finding someone you can completely trust with your child is incredibly important, and we feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful nanny. We would recommend them without hesitation to any family looking for someone caring, dependable, professional, and truly exceptional.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Most Amazing Childminder Truly One in a Million!
Where do I even begin? After 4.5 incredible years, the time has finally come for my daughter to leave this amazing childminder as she begins the next chapter of her life and starts her school journey. As happy and excited as I am for her, saying goodbye is incredibly emotional because this has been so much more than childcare she has been a huge part of my daughter’s life and development from the very beginning.
From day one right through to her very last day, she has been absolutely outstanding. I genuinely could not have wished for anyone better to care for my daughter. She has always gone above and beyond, not because she had to, but because she truly cares about the children she looks after.
The setting is absolutely wonderful. Her home is spotlessly clean, safe, welcoming, warm and beautifully organised, creating such a lovely environment where children can feel comfortable, happy and secure. Everything is so well thought out, and you can immediately see the amount of effort, love and dedication she puts into providing the best possible experience for the children.
Her organisation is second to none. She plans ahead for the week, thinks carefully about activities, learning, outings and experiences, and always makes sure the children have something fun, educational and meaningful to look forward to. You can see the preparation and thought that goes into everything she does.
But what makes her truly special is the way she cares for the children. She doesn’t simply look after them she nurtures them, teaches them, encourages them, comforts them and celebrates every little milestone with them. She treats every child as an individual and takes the time to understand their needs, personality and development.
She has been there for so many of my daughter’s firsts. From introducing her first foods, helping her take her first steps, supporting her development, and even helping her transition away from her pacifier, she has been there through it all. She has played such an important role in helping my daughter grow from a little girl into the confident, happy and independent child she is today.
There has always been such a wonderful balance between learning, play, routine, creativity and fun. My daughter has come home with so many beautiful memories and experiences that she will carry with her into school and beyond.
As a parent, knowing that your child is safe, loved, cared for and genuinely happy while you are away is priceless. I have always had complete trust in her, and that peace of mind is something I will forever be grateful for.
She has been reliable, professional, caring, patient, organised, attentive and incredibly dedicated. Her communication has always been excellent, and I have always felt informed, included and reassured.
I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any parent considering placing their child in her care should have absolutely no hesitation. You will not regret it. You are not just choosing a childminder you are choosing someone who will become an important part of your child’s life and someone who will genuinely care about their happiness, development and wellbeing.
Thank you for everything you have done over the last 4.5 years. Thank you for every cuddle, every meal, every activity, every outing, every lesson, every milestone, every smile and every moment of care you have given my daughter.
Most importantly, thank you for loving and caring for her as though she were one of your own. ❤️
Although this chapter is now coming to an end as she begins her school journey, the impact you have had on her will stay with us forever. We will always remember the wonderful start you gave her and the beautiful memories you helped create.
You truly are one in a million, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have you.
Thank you for being absolutely amazing from the very first day to the very last. We will miss you more than words can say. ❤️🥹
An outstanding childminder, an incredible person, and someone we will never forget. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We are very happy with Sonali. From the very first meeting, she was warm, attentive and professional, and quickly put together a clear plan based on my daughter’s needs. Most importantly, my daughter really enjoys her sessions with Sonali and always feels comfortable with her. It’s lovely to see her so positive and happy about their time together. We’re very grateful to have found Sonali and would happily recommend her.
Our daughter joined when she was two years old and stayed until she was nearly five. Everyday was exciting and she loved going and seeing all the staff.
It feels like a family run preschool, the staff are always there to answer questions and support the children and parents. It was very apparent only a few months in that my daughter developed skills and was being support to develop further.
We were often gifted with handmade crafts made by the children celebrating Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas. You could see a lot of thought had gone into them.
Happy Days has given our daughter such an amazing start in life. We are so grateful for the love and support all the staff have given her and ourselves.
We would highly recommend Happy Days Preschool to any parent. The staff always go above and beyond, supporting the children and giving them the best memories.
Thank you Happy Days!!
Kayleigh has been a nanny to our twins for the last 11 years, which in itself probably tells you how highly we regard her. We initial met through this website.
With our children starting secondary school, it is (sadly!) time for another family to benefit from the love and care that our children have enjoyed throughout their early years.
We are very happy to provide a more comprehensive reference for prospective familes or answer any questions you may have.
Ashley is a dream childminder, she is very caring, kind, passionate about her role! She has been looking after my daughter now for a few weeks, Darcie-Ann is currently 13 months old and she feels safe, cared for by her! She is always happy to go to her for the day! Darcie-Ann loves to fall asleep cuddling Ashley!
The updates i get through the day reassures me as a first time parent, and her communication is top notch!
I feel comfortable with her, knowing my daughter is in safe hands, my daughters development has come on leaps & bounds since being with Ashley! Her home is beautiful and she has all the right age appropriate toys for her to be able to learn and play with. Ashley also thinks outside the box which I love, eg: They done a hand & footprint on canvas which was a beautiful gift to recieve. Ashley is accommodating and very helpful with times and pick ups as well. She has always been there for us! She genuinely has the biggest heart and is not judgemental at all. I am lucky to have found someone who has the same outlook on a child's journey and how important it is for each individual to learn and grow at their own pace. I am looking forward to her journey with Ashley :-)

When we looked at childminders the plan was to find one until a space became available at our chosen nursery, but then we met Lou! She is just amazing and knew this is where my son was going to stay permanently! He absolutely thrived in her care, starting off so shy and clingy to so happy loud and independent. She gave him the best foundation and confidence ready to start school and I can’t thank her enough for the love and care she provided him in the 2 years he was there, we will miss her so much.

I’m really grateful for all the help and care faree has given my kid. She is kind, patient and genuinely caring, and my kid was always happy and comfortable with her. fareeha has been very reliable and supportive, which made things so much easier for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their children. ❤️
both of my girls went to this nursery. The staff are lovely and warm. They care about the children and their wellbeing.
One of the best things about this nursery is that on special occasions such as Christmas and easter, they go all out with homemade gifts which speaking to others is not something most nurseries would do.
Karen, Carlie and jo are very approachable if you have any concerns.
overall both my daughters really enjoyed going here and I would highly recommend
I would highly recommend Purnima. We absolutely love the care she gives our son, who is 1.5 years old.
We originally started at a nursery setting, but our son didn’t settle at all. There was so much crying and distress over the months we tried, and it was really difficult to see him so unhappy. Then we found Purnima, and instantly, from the moment we walked through the door, we knew he would be happy there.
He has now been with Purnima for 6 months and is so happy and settled. He goes in with a smile and comes home so chatty, babbling & singing about his day. Even after holidays, he is so excited to see Purnima again, and he absolutely loves spending time with her family too!
Purnima is fantastic. She keeps us regularly informed about what the children have been up to and is always so approachable and lovely to communicate with. We have complete confidence in the care she provides, and it is such a relief knowing our son is somewhere he is genuinely happy and loved.
We look forward to continuing our time with Purnima and will definitely be sending our daughter to her too!
My little girl struggles to leave me but with Jo ,Vicki and Donna they have been amazing with her , shown her patient and care and she settled in so well. She has learnt so much and really grown a personality since being here. It’s like home from home and such a lovely feeling, when you leave you know your child in good hands with lots of love and care.
When we first started looking for a babysitter we were anxious and booked in several sitters for interviews. Claire was the first sitter to come for interview, and as soon as she left we cancelled the others because we knew she was the one. We could tell from the way our toddler interacted with Claire that she had lots of experience working with children they instantly gelled and were reading and playing together without us in the room on the first meeting. Beyond that with Claire’s experience and qualifications you know your child is going to be in safe hands. Claire communicates very well and offers car as if it were you providing it for example with things like bedtime routine she was able to get our little one off to sleep easily by following the usual routine and making them feel at ease knowing they were being cared for by someone we trust.
We can’t really speak highly enough of Claire as she has provided us with reassurance that our toddler is safe whilst we take much needed time out for ourselves.
So go ahead and get booking her as you won’t regret it but also don’t steal out sitter 🤣
We were in a bit of a tight spot as we had an event to attend and needed someone to look after our girls. From the moment Zera arrived, the girls were immediately drawn to her and honestly did not stop playing!
Zera kept us updated regularly while we were out, which was really reassuring and meant we could actually relax and enjoy our evening. She is genuinely so lovely, kind and gentle, and you can tell she is naturally really good with children.
The girls had such a lovely time with her and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. We will definitely be using Zera again and would happily recommend her to other families.

If you're looking for childminders, look no further! Our daughter was with Mandy and Kev for two years before starting preschool. She initially went to a nursery but we weren't happy with the setting or service, so we were incredibly pleased to find Mandy and Kev (particularly as they had availability at relatively short notice).
Mandy and Kev are absolutely brilliant - they get to know the children and parents really well and prioritise a very personal service. They were able to give us advice on lots of things including sleep, behaviour and potty training.
They have so many wonderful toys and activities both indoors and out, and the children are taken on trips to the park, garden centres, a weekly childminders group and more.
They were also very flexible and allowed us to alter our days/hours (where possible) when our work circumstances changed.
Overall, we were really pleased with the childcare that Mandy and Kev provided and our second daughter is due to start with them in a few months. The name of their business couldn't be more fitting - it really is 'home from home' childcare!
Jo, Vicky and Donna have looked after my son since he was 14 months old and I couldn’t be happier with the care he receives.
They create such a warm, nurturing environment and it genuinely feels like a home away from home. My son absolutely loves going and is always excited to see them, which gives me so much reassurance that he is happy, safe and in great hands.
They provide a brilliant variety of activities and regularly take the children out to parks, baby groups and soft play. There is a real focus on learning and development, following the EYFS framework, while still making everything fun and engaging.
Communication is excellent. I receive regular photos, reports and daily written updates and I’ve always felt comfortable raising any feedback or questions.
It’s also the thoughtful extras that make them special. I was so pleasantly surprised when they organised a Christmas party for the children in 2025.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Jo, Vicky and Donna to any parent looking for a caring, engaging and genuinely lovely childcare setting.
Jo, Donna and Vicki are an amazing team who provide an excellent standard of care for kids. My child arrived at 1 year and has thrived with Jo and the team. Her home setting is fantastic but they take the kids out to parks, playgroups and activities. They also have extensive crafts, toys and things for kids to do at home while also providing personalised work from the children. Donna and Vicki are excellent helpers and treat all the children like their own. There is always lots of singing and story time.
An excellent setting where you child will enjoy going to and they will thrive. We loved our time here.
I originally had my first born with Jo back in 2024, this was a big jump for me but I’ve never looked back since . With now my second born attending Little Tiddlers with Jo, Donna & Vicki - I would not trust anyone else. A beautiful, clean home with constant improvement & well thought environments for the children to learn and play. I know my children are loved and looked after like they are in their own home and have come on leaps and bounds in the care of 3 extremely lovely ladies who go above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend them enough and if I have more children I wouldn’t look elsewhere!
