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.
Shazia and her team provided a lovely small nursery environment for our daughter from 1-4.5 years. She has been really happy and confident and loves the team and other children.
The team made sure she was learning new things including to read and write, and great numeracy. They developed her passion for learning and reading, and particularly her love of being outdoors and learning about animals. She always talks of nursery and all the characters there, and will miss it, although it is clear she has become very ready for school.
We have received great updates on learning and pointers in what to do next to encourage her. She has never hesitated to leave us in the morning as she is happy to be at nursery.
I am always pleased to recommend this experienced team
We can't thank Yesim Love Laugh n Learn Childcare enough for providing such high quality care for our daughter over the last couple of years. Yesim offers a true home from home setting, where children are nurtured and are part of the family. Children have daily outings to the park and woodland area (to feed the birds, plant flowers, etc), with some additional outings to softplay or national trust sites. They also go to visit residents at the local care home. Alongside these outings, Yesim also provides activities that support more structured learning, following the EYFS. Yesim has been able to cater for our daughter's cows milk protein allergy. Her home is clean, warm and welcoming. We will miss her so much, but will be booking our girl in for future school holidays. Highly recommend for anyone who is on the search for a reliable, trusted childminder ⭐
Our daughter was looked after by her full-time when she was 8–9 months old, and she has continued to babysit for us whenever we need extra help.
She is an incredibly warm, caring and loving childminder, and we always felt completely comfortable leaving our daughter with her. She was very affectionate with her and our daughter was always happy and well cared for in her home.
She also prepared lovely home-cooked meals for her, which we really appreciated. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality of care she provides.
We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, reliable and trustworthy childminder.
My Daughter was 10months old when she started with Tammy. She had a few wobbly moments at the start but with Tammy's kind and caring nature, she soon began to settle and I could tell she was very comfortable. My shy little baby soon started to become a confident toddler and thats all down to Tammy. She teaches them, she learns everything about them and helps build their little characters through play. Every night when my daughter is in bed she has a big smile on her face and says "I go to Tammy's house tomorrow?". She loves the daily adventures and all the exciting things they do everyday!
Tammy has been like family for the last 2 year and I know my daughter is going to miss her dearly (so are we).
So my review is to say thank you, for all you have done for us ❤️ xx
Emma is a true professional and has helped our two daughters enormously with their English. She understood very quickly what each of them needed and adapted her lessons to their different levels and personalities. She is patient, kind and knows very well how to work with children. The girls have really enjoyed their lessons and we have seen a big improvement, especially in their reading and writing. We are very happy to have found her and would highly recommend her. She is worth every penny.

As always Kelly never lets us down!
We sent our daughter to Kelly when she was 1 year old until she started school and now summer break and half terms have kicked in she once again was our reliable, trusted go to.
Kelly is now supporting us during half terms and summer break as we work full time. Our daughter was so excited to spend time with Kelly and her children again! She returned to of course a group of unknown children and slotted straight back in.
Kelly send us updates with pictures and a description of what they have done, where they have gone (always out and about) and eaten. Kelly has childminder friends so there is never a shortage of friends to make!
We love Kelly and her family and am so pleased she has been able to help us during these times.
Kelly is kind, thoughtful and always has the children’s wellbeing and development at the forefront, which we appreciate. Our daughter never comes home sad or not happy with her day when at Kelly’s and always has adventures or story’s to tell me about.
I honestly can’t recommend her enough! Extremely fair priced too! 🥰😁
My daughter was with Sarah for about a year and a half before we relocated and she was great. Clearly cares a lot for the children she looks after and always has lots of fun and safe activities for them to do.
We couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care Abi provides for our son.
From day one, it was important to us to find someone who felt like a natural extension of our family while remaining completely professional, and she has struck that balance perfectly.
Our son is clearly comfortable with her, which gives us total peace of mind. She continuously encourages his learning and development, keeping him engaged through creative play and time outdoors, something we value hugely. On top of her warm and attentive care, her flexibility whenever our schedules shift has been greatly appreciated.
We truly can't recommend Abi enough!
Both of my daughters attended Christine's setting until we moved away from the area. They had a wonderful time and would often come home and tell me what they'd been up to that day: going to the park, colouring, playing in the garden or in the playroom, learning about colours, reading, painting, you name it! Their development came on in leaps and bounds. Christine and her staff would always be excited to see them each morning and my kids thought of them like family members. Highly recommend!
Monique has been working with us and our 5 month old daughter for around 1 month or so. She is great with Cleo, seems to really understand babies and their cues and has the added benefit of being a trained sleep expert - she has been very helpful in assisting us to extend napping windows and get into more of a routine.

We feel so lucky to have had Jenny recommended to us - both of our boys (now age 4 & 9) have gone to her and absolutely loved their time with her. She has a great reputation within the community and also has a great relationship with other childminders in the area.
Our youngest was most recently with Jenny full time, he absolutely loved his time with her. As well as running the childminding group at Hawksley Court (a lovely hall with safe, enclosed outside space for the children to play in and explore), she arranged visits to parks, allotments, splash pads, farms and seasonal treats such as pumpkin picking, visit from Santa.
She sends us pictures during the day so we can see what the kids are getting up to and her communication is great.
We cannot speak highly enough of Jenny, she has become a great friend and an essential part of our 'village'. She's a wonderful person and an amazing childminder.

Unfortunately, my experience with this nanny was very disappointing. She accepted the job and committed to working with us, but then disappeared without proper notice or communication, leaving us unexpectedly without childcare. During the time she spent with my child, I also did not feel that she demonstrated the level of attentiveness, understanding, and childcare skills I would expect from a professional nanny. Reliability and responsible communication are essential when caring for a child, and unfortunately my experience did not reflect either.
Haris has cared for my boys on a number of occasions, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly warm, engaging and enthusiastic, with a wonderful ability to connect with children and make them feel comfortable, valued and understood.
She is calm, patient and wonderfully creative, and has a natural way of captivating children while keeping them interested and engaged. What really stands out, though, is how genuinely she cares about their wellbeing. She nurtures them in such an authentic, thoughtful and loving way, while also encouraging their confidence, curiosity and independence.
My boys have always been so happy and excited to spend time with Haris, and I have complete confidence in her care and approach. She is a true gem, and I will absolutely continue to use her as a tutor. I feel very lucky to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family.

Sara’s Busy Bees is the most amazing childcare setting I have ever had the pleasure of using. I always felt very confident dropping my son off, knowing he would be happy, safe, and well cared for. He was always welcomed with open arms, warm smiles, and a nurturing environment.
Not only are Sara and her team incredibly loving, patient, and kind, but they consistently go above and beyond. The children are often taken on exciting little field trips, and there are always fun, engaging, and interactive activities planned. No two days are ever the same, and that’s one of the many things that makes Sara’s Busy Bees so special.
I am so grateful to have found Sara and her wonderful team. They have played such an important role in helping shape my little boy into the amazing child he is today and have given him the very best start before beginning mainstream school.
Thank you, Sara and the entire Sara’s Busy Bees team. ❤️
Jacky is absolutely brilliant, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She is warm, reliable and wonderful with our three-month-old son. Liam is always happy and relaxed with her, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care from the start. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Sharon is absolutely amazing. Ours son Daniel was attending a nursery and when he couldn’t settle in 4 months we decided we need to look for something else. Sharon was a God sent. He settled in a just a few days and has loved every minute he has spent there in the last 3 years. She provides a lovely, nurturing environment with plenty of fun and engaging activities, and it’s clear how much she cares and how much attention she put into everything she do. We are truly grateful for all the love, patience and care she have shown our child. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would happily recommend Sharon to any family looking for someone they can trust.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had such a wonderful childminder look after our son. From the very beginning, she was warm, caring and nurturing, and it was clear that she genuinely loved and cared about the children in her care.
Our son absolutely loved going to “Sweetie”, as he affectionately called her. He was always happy to go and came home full of stories about his day. Knowing that he was so settled, happy and comfortable in her care gave us complete peace of mind as parents.
She provided a lovely home-from-home environment where he felt safe, supported and encouraged to learn and develop. She was attentive to his individual needs and personality, while also giving him plenty of opportunities to play, explore and become more independent. We really appreciated the variety of activities and experiences she provided, as well as the care she took to support his social, emotional and developmental progress.
Communication with us was always excellent. She kept us informed about how he was getting on and was approachable, reliable and understanding whenever we had questions or concerns. We always felt that our son’s wellbeing was her priority.
We will always be grateful for the care, kindness and happy memories she gave him. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, trustworthy and dedicated childminder.
We have been incredibly lucky to have had Kirsty look after our two children over the past year.
She is kind, caring and both of our children have been so happy, settled and excited to go, which has meant the world to us as parents. She has created such a warm and welcoming environment, and we know our children are safe and well cared for. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
