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.
Ozzie worked with our family for around 1.5 years, primarily caring for our daughter from the age of one. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and immediately formed a strong bond with her. She has a natural way with children and is genuinely attentive to their needs and development. Our little one absolutely loved spending time with her, and it was clear that Ozzie provided not just care, but real affection and emotional security.
Although she was employed for our toddler, she is equally confident and capable with children of all ages. She is thoughtful, reliable, and also happy to help out with light household tasks, which made day-to-day life much easier for us.
We always felt reassured knowing our child was in her care. We would highly recommend Ozzie to any family looking for a caring and dependable nanny.

My oldest son has been with Andrea since 2022 and I was relieved she had availability to look after my second child when he came along.
Andrea is utterly outstanding! She has such a lovely bond with both my boys, has helped with potty training (twice!), prepared our eldest for school and provided a loving setting for them to be during the day.
The boys look forward to going to Andreas, and are always raving about how delicious her food is. She manages to cook homemade meals every day, they absolutely love it.
Andrea gets the kids out to local toddler clubs and playdates, and does all sorts of arts and crafts with them at home.
Although our eldest is at school now we know how happy he is at Andreas we've kept him with her before and after school.
I can't recommend Andrea highly enough, she's helped us navigate through more challenging periods and is always there to offer advice when asked.
Every day at pick up Andrea gives a run down of the day, but is also mindful of the boys feelings so will be discreet if it could cause upset, she just knows best.
She genuinely feels like an extension to our family!
Caterina joined us when our daughter was just 6 months old, doing 3 mornings a week, and in the 7 months since, she has been a fantastic support.
What stands out most is her genuine care and dedication. This isn’t someone who just goes through the motions, you can see, in every interaction, that she truly loves being with our daughter. The way our daughter’s face lights up the moment she sees her says more than any review could!
She is very reliable and proactive, she brings energy and creativity to each day, and it shows in how happy our daughter is in her care.
Most importantly, we know our child is in safe, loving and capable hands when she is with her.
Seven months in and we feel very lucky to have found her 😊

We’ve been using Monika as our regular evening babysitter for almost a year now, and she’s been absolutely fantastic. She’s always reliable, trustworthy, flexible when we need her, and her communication is excellent, which gives us real peace of mind. She has always managed to settle our toddler back to sleep perfectly if they wake during the night, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monika to other parents, and we’re really looking forward to seeing her spend even more time with our toddler as we get the chance.
We honestly could not recommend Carol and Billy more! Our twins have been with them for the past 3 years, and it has been an absolutely amazing experience.
From day one, they have been completely reliable and provided fantastic communication so we always knew exactly what our little ones were up to. They offer such a caring environment, and the children have absolutely loved being there. The kids have always been wonderfully cared for and engaged in creative, appropriate activities that actively supported their developmental milestones.
Carol and Billy go above and beyond—they have truly become a part of our family. Thank you so much for everything you do!

My son has been with Victoria since April with a few sessions from January and he loves going to see her. Her family are very welcoming and the set up is perfect for him. He enjoys playing outside and having after nap snuggles. Victoria always updates us on their daily activities and keeps us informed. She is also very accommodating to my last minute requests! Very much appreciated and will always highly recommend :)
Our son has been with Chloe from the age of one to three and a half, and we simply could not be happier that we came across Chloe all those years ago. She is kind, patient, flexible and understanding, as well as being an excellent communicator with parents. Most importantly, of course, she is an incredibly skilled, creative and dedicated childcare provider, and has helped shape the development of our son in such a positive manner, aligning perfectly with what we have also tried to do at home. We are now leaving London, but leave Chloe with a heavy heart and nothing but thanks for the past 2-3 years. Highly, highly recommend!
Gemma is incredible. Our son, who is very shy absolutely adores her and cannot wait to go back from the minute he leaves.
Gemma truly makes the setting ideal for the children she has, tailoring it to each individual need - if our boy is there, she always ensures there are cars and water play available and I think part of the reason he settled immediately was her care and compassion in every single thing she does!
He is absolutely thriving in the nurturing, supporting environment Gemma provides and we couldn't be more comfortable leaving him with somebody ❤️
Thank you Gemma, we can't wait for all the adventures Arthur will share with you 🫂

We cannot recommend Tinzar highly enough! Our daughter has been in her care for nearly two years now, and the experience has been wonderful. From day one, we have trusted Tinzar completely. It is incredibly reassuring to leave your child with someone so dependable. Our daughter absolutely loves going there and has developed so many new skills. She especially enjoys the wide variety of daily activities, the engaging storytimes, and all the outdoor play. Tinzar provides a brilliant environment for children to grow and learn.
Claire has supported our family with childcare for the past three years. She cared for our daughter until she started reception and is currently looking after our two-year-old son.
She is exceptional, and we highly recommend her. Claire is creative and provides the children with a wide range of engaging arts and crafts activities. We have received many thoughtful handmade gifts from our children for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, and other special occasions. She also celebrates religious and cultural events with themed activities and food.
Claire ensures the children are offered a variety of healthy, balanced meals. She regularly takes them on outings, including local toddler groups and music sessions, which they thoroughly enjoy. Claire’s home is safe, welcoming, and well-equipped with a wide variety of indoor and outdoor toys.
Communication is excellent. We receive daily updates on what the children have eaten, naps, along with plenty of photos to keep us informed and reassured.
Claire has also been incredibly flexible, supporting us with additional days when our work and plans have changed.
We feel very lucky to have her help.
Monique is such a great childminder, since my little girl has been there I have seen huge progress and development. She has learnt lots of new words and phrases, she is sleeping so much more consistently and independently. She follows routine really well and has never once been unsettled or not excited to go. I am so happy with her and would recommend her to any parent who is looking for an exceptional childminder who really cares about your child and makes them feel like family.

Melissa worked with our family for around 4 years when our 3rd child arrived. She was a continuously kind, calm and gentle presence in our home. All of our children formed a special bond with her and still ask to see her to this day. Melissa really went the extra mile for our family when we moved from Sheffield and continued working with us throughout some big changes. I highly recommend her as someone who really values the children in her care and who takes time to get to know them individually. All of our children have such special memories of days out, games and Melissa's special pasta! Thank you for being so wonderful to our children Melissa.
Sally was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we first spoke on the phone, she put me completely at ease with her warm, motherly nature and excellent communication. Meeting her in person only reinforced that feeling – she was approachable, kind, and instantly made both me and my 11 month son feel comfortable.
We hired Sally to look after our son during a wedding, and despite the day becoming a little chaotic at times (especially later in the evening when groomsmen were popping in and out of the cottage we were staying in), she remained calm, patient, and reassuring throughout. Nothing seemed to faze her.
Most importantly, my son absolutely loved her and was so happy in her company. It made such a difference knowing he was being cared for by someone so capable, caring, and trustworthy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sally to anyone looking for a babysitter, and we would happily hire her again.

As soon as I met Reena, I knew she was the perfect childminder for my daughter.
Before finding Reena, I visited several nurseries and childminders, but I never felt completely confident that they were the right fit. The moment I met Reena, I felt instantly comfortable and reassured. Her warm, caring nature and the safe, welcoming environment she has created in her home made the decision so easy for us.
Reena’s home is beautiful, spotless, and extremely well maintained, with plenty of toys, activities, and opportunities for children to learn and have fun. She always puts me at ease, and my daughter absolutely loves spending time with her.
Since starting with Reena, my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds. It’s been amazing to see her confidence, development, and happiness grow.
Reena is truly exceptional at what she does. She is caring, professional, and dedicated, and I trust her completely with my daughter. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Janine cared for Rosie from 9 months to 3 years, and I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. I always felt completely calm and confident leaving Rosie with her, knowing she was in the safest and most loving hands. Rosie was genuinely cared for, nurtured, and treated as one of the family.
Janine’s beautiful cottage and fantastic outdoor space created the perfect setting for Rosie to learn, explore, and grow. We are so thankful for the time Rosie spent with her, and I can give Janine a glowing recommendation to anyone preparing to leave their baby with someone for the first time.
Melissa looked after our girls for 2 years. The girls loved their days with her, they always had lots of fun. Melissa is very caring, patient and kind and created a fantastic bond with our girls. She is very trustworthy and honest and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare needs.

Magda has been fantastic with my little autistic boy!! She has provided exceptional care and understanding of his needs . He is much more confident in doing anything new and speaks more and more since we are working with her !! She is an absolute star - very flexible, knowledgeable, punctual and helpful not just as a childminder but as a parent and as a woman !! Highly recommended!!!
My son has been with Tinzar since September last year and he loves going. I wanted a home setting for my son as I work full time and did not like the idea of nurseries; I wanted a more home like feel for him and we certainly get this with Tinzar.
My son has made friends and has progressed so much. Tinzar has set learning for the them and keeps us parents updated within the app.
Tinzar is always willing to help when I need to swap days and with potty training my son; giving me tips along the way.
I highly recommend Tinzar.
