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 are so happy we found Priya as our nanny! She is caring, punctual, and always showed up ready to help. She was flexible with our schedule and proactive in keeping our baby busy with fun activities. She also helped prepare healthy meals for our little one. We highly recommend her to any family!
Our son attends nursery but due to a change in my working arrangements we needed some additional childcare a few times per month. Reena has been a lifesaver - so flexible and helpful. In only his second week with Reena he happily wandered in with no tears, which speaks volumes for her experience working with children and the fun and comforting environment she creates.
Her communication and professionalism are second to none. Her home and garden room are spotless and very well equipped. She has taken our son out to toddler groups which he really enjoyed. Overall very grateful to have found Reena!
We completely understand why Reena is a childminder; she is incredible with our little girl!
Our girl (13 months) has been going to Reena for just over 6 months, and every time we drop her off, she has a huge smile when Reena opens the door.
We chose Reena for her easygoing, warm, and approachable personality, and because she also brings diversity and culture into our little girl's life, allowing her to learn from and experience people from different walks of life. She communicates well with us and sends us lots of photos on days when she is childminding our little girl.
We highly recommend her. She takes her out for walks and to soft play, where she can meet and play with other children, which is great for her social development. Reena is now a big part of our little girl's life. We would consider her an extended part of the family, given how much our little girl adores her.
Thank you for all you do, Reena.
Katie has been an incredible support to our family. She has cared for my twins, both of whom have additional needs, with genuine patience, calmness and understanding. She is naturally warm and friendly, builds trust quickly, and is brilliant at engaging my daughter through creative play ideas and gentle, thoughtful approaches that really help her connect and participate.
Katie is also very reliable — always punctual, communicative, and professional. She keeps me updated clearly and consistently, and she’s been really helpful in supporting observations for Community Paediatrics, particularly around sleep, routines and how the twins present day-to-day.
Katie has been a steady, positive presence in our home and I would highly recommend her to any family, especially those needing someone confident, kind and capable with children who have additional needs.

Rebecca came to help me just after a major operation following an accident. She came every day to tidy the kitchen, do the laundry, and get the family organised. She is incredibly empathetic and kind. I couldn’t have managed without her. She worked around our family and the new puppy with such patience and understanding.
My son has been with Skye for 3 months now and we couldn't be happier. Skye is one of those warm and nurturing people who genuinely love to be around children and it shows. Our little boy is very happy with her and I particularly love that the whole family are involved in playing with and caring for the little ones. Skye plans a wide range of engaging and educational activities and they visit several play groups during the week. I've been able to return to work without any worries thanks to Skye and her lovely family.

Our son started going to Kelly when he was just 10 months old, at the time I had to go back to work. It was a very emotional and difficult period for us. As foreigners, with no family around to support us, finding the right person felt overwhelming. We didn’t just need a childminder — we needed someone we could truly trust.
From day one, Kelly listened to all my worries and concerns. She was patient, understanding and reassuring. She is warm-hearted and genuinely caring, but at the same time a real professional. That balance meant everything to us.
Now our son is 3 years old and he has been thriving in her care. He is happy, confident and secure, and we can clearly see how much he has grown thanks to the safe and nurturing environment she provides.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our son. Kelly quickly became like family to us. There is no doubt that when we have a second child, they will go to her as well.

Ciara has been babysitting my two children for a while now. She is a joy, my kids so enjoy her company. She lifts the energy with her presence and my kids quickly bonded with her. I feel completely at ease leaving the kids with her. She is proffessonal and capable. I get regular updates that the kids are asleep etc and Ciara is very good a communicating to book in the ad hoc evenings I need. I'm very lucky to have her and I would reccomend her!
I cannot recommend Zafreen enough! We feel so lucky to have found Zafreen. My son has been attending her setting since September 2025, and it has been the best decision we’ve made. Zafreen is an absolute amazing human being—warm, patient, and incredibly professional.
Her services are truly brilliant; she creates such a nurturing and stimulating environment. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves going there. Seeing him walk in with a smile every morning gives me total peace of mind. Zafreen is the one!
Hayley and James were absolutely amazing with our daughter. She loved her time with them and we can’t wait for our youngest daughter to join aswell!
Our daughter learned so much while she was there. She was able to explore her creativity and independence while gaining confidence and having fun with her friends. They also catered to her dietary needs during group activities like baking, which meant a lot to us.
I would 100% recommend Hayley and James!
First time we had left our kids with non family member. Tessa was great, having a call to confirm details and meet the children (6 and 8) ahead of time, putting everyone at ease.
She arrived promptly and instantly clicked with the kids. They said they had the best time, played games before bedtime and when can she come back! 😀
We are so grateful for Charmaine and the incredible support she has given our son. From the very beginning, she has been patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping him grow in confidence and ability.
Charmaine has a wonderful way of explaining things clearly and making learning enjoyable. We’ve seen such a positive improvement not only in his academic progress but also in his self-belief. He actually looks forward to his sessions, which says everything.
She keeps us informed, is always professional, and genuinely cares about her students’ success. We couldn’t have asked for a better tutor and would highly recommend Charmaine to any parent looking for someone reliable, supportive, and passionate about teaching.

Caroline has been looking after our wee one since she turned one - 1.5 years now - and she’s been the main reason we’ve survived the crazy juggle of work and parenthood til now! She’s been adaptable and flexible throughout, keeps our daughter engaged and happy and gives her new and valuable experiences every week.
She’s been able to very quickly learn and adapt to our daughter’s additional needs (deafness) and deal with the ever-changing practicalities that come with this. She’s attentive to every detail of our daughter’s routine, her quirks (and ours) and is always accommodating and judgement-free.
She’s helped with everything from hospital appointments to potty training, and has formed a really beautiful bond with our daughter. We will all miss you Caroline!
We had been in contact with this person since 2 weeks now, She committed multiple times to have a wee visit to our place hence every time we waited and She didn’t show up once! Neither she responds to msgs in appropriate time limit. I would say she has been a pure time waster. Be careful floks!
Karla built a wonderful relationship with my 3,5 year old son, who is very playful. She was always able to keep up with him and match his enthusiasm. They laughed a lot together, and hearing their laughter was truly the most beautiful sound. Karla is cheerful, warm, and has a very gentle approach. She made us feel completely at ease and truly made our lives easier. We are very grateful for her support.
As ex-childminder myself, who is now a teacher, I was extremely impressed with the learning environment that Dawn has created at Cabin Cubs. She has used her knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum to create a stimulating and creative space for little learners and her cosy, homely setting matches her ethos. Dawn has given careful consideration to all aspects of her business including safeguarding, nutrition, child development and education. I would feel extremely confident placing my child in her care.
I know this childminder well and have had the opportunity to visit her childcare environment. I was extremely impressed by the level of thought, care, and attention to detail that has gone into creating a warm, safe and stimulating space for children.
Every aspect of the setup has clearly been carefully planned, from the engaging learning areas to the high standards of cleanliness and organisation. It is evident that she is passionate about providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive, explore and develop with confidence. The resources available are varied and purposeful, supporting both structured learning and imaginative play.
Beyond the physical environment, her professional approach, genuine care for children’s wellbeing and commitment to delivering high-quality childcare truly stand out. I have no doubt that families who choose her setting will feel reassured knowing their children are in capable, thoughtful and dedicated hands.
I would confidently recommend her to any parent seeking a caring and well-prepared childminding service.
