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.
I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, experienced and caring nanny. She has been a wonderful help to our family and has proven herself to be a very safe pair of hands.
She has a natural ability to engage with children and build a great rapport with them, while also knowing how to manage situations and set boundaries when needed. My children genuinely enjoy spending time with her, whether it’s chatting, playing games or simply sharing stories about their day. She clearly has plenty of experience with children and knows how to navigate the occasional tricky situations calmly and confidently.
She is extremely reliable, punctual and trustworthy, and gained our confidence very quickly. She is also an excellent communicator, always keeping us promptly informed of important messages from school or teachers, as well as anything we should be aware of.
We also really appreciate her flexibility when arrangements occasionally need to change, given advance notice. She communicates clearly, plans ahead and is very organised, which makes everything run smoothly.
Overall, she has been a fantastic support to our family, and most importantly, our children are very happy and comfortable with her. We would not hesitate to recommend her!
Our son was with Wendy from 9 months old until he was 18 months, and we honestly couldn't have wished for a better childminder!
He absolutely thrived in Wendy's care, enjoying lots of lovely outings, activities and plenty of water fun in the garden during the summer months. Most importantly, our little boy was always happy, which meant the world to us.
We also loved receiving regular photo updates throughout the day, giving us a little insight into all the fun he was having.
Sadly, due to moving away from Hatfield, we've had to say goodbye and find a new childminder.
We really can't recommend Wendy enough. Thank you so much for all the love, care and attention you've given our boy and for making his time with you so special. We will miss you! ❤️
Anita looks after my 8 & 10 year old boys after school 3 days a week. They love spending time with her and her gorgeous girls. When they are with Anita I don’t have to worry as I know they are in safe hands. Anita has an amazing aura she is naturally cool and calm and the boys respond well to this. I couldn’t ask for more in a childminder.

Kat has babysat for my 3 girls multiple times and is the only non family member I’ve ever left them with. They love her and feel very safe and secure in her company. She is very nurturing and patient and makes everyone feel at ease. My children have additional needs and Kat has always been fantastic with them. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
We have been using Lou for years. She has taken great care of our little boy, as she does with all of the children in her care. We have always received updates, feedback and support. Her experience and knowledge is amazing. She has taught our child so much over the last 3/4 years right up to school transition. He has been on lots of adventures. We will still be using her as our childminder in the school holidays. Home from home environment. Would definitely recommend.
Starting off, we were very unsure when it came to switching to child minders for our 18 month old son from nursery, but Nelly really proved us wrong. She is genuine, loving, caring and outstanding in the safety and wellbeing when it came to the children she is looking after. Her home was so well kept with various activities and books for the little ones to really thrive. Her son and parter are amazing too, the little one loved them. Our son came home happy and every other day he would use new words and phrases which was amazing to see. Never did he once say "No" to going to her setting and that really says it all.
To put it in few words: a childminder who goes above and way beyond your expectations, for that we thank you, Nelly.

Esme was a fantastic nanny and a God send to us, she is super reliable, kind and caring. It was always a pleasure having her in our house and she was always respectful and helpful. Our son was difficult to get to sleep but she handled him great! Would definitely recommend Esme!!

Our daughter has spent the last three years at Sue’s, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her. Sue has been absolutely amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her!
Sue provides such a lovely home-from-home environment where the children feel happy, safe and loved. Our daughter has loved spending her days playing with her little friends and going on daily adventures to playgroups, parks and the farm. It’s these special little things that make Sue’s setting so wonderful and, in our eyes, so much more personal than a traditional nursery.
We originally thought we would choose a nursery for our daughter, but we are so glad we trusted our gut and chose Sue instead. Our daughter settled in so quickly and has been happy from day one. She was somewhere she genuinely loved being, having fun and making lovely memories.
Sue provided great care, kindness and happiness we couldn’t have wished for a better place for her to grow, learn and make friends, and we would recommend Sue in a heartbeat to any parent looking for that special home-from-home feeling. Thank you, Sue, for everything you’ve done for our daughter ❤️
Chris and Julie provide a lovely, welcoming environment for the children. They are both friendly, caring and approachable. It’s clear they put a lot of thought into creating a happy setting for the little ones. I would happily recommend Little Hedgehogs Childcare to other families.
Chris and Julie are both absolutely amazing, and we honestly couldn’t ask for better people to care for our daughter. Since starting at their setting, she has truly flourished, and it has been wonderful to watch her grow into such a confident, happy and independent little girl.
Their setting really is a home from home. Our daughter feels so comfortable, safe and happy there, and knowing she is in such loving and caring hands gives us complete peace of mind as parents. She learns new things every single day, and we can see how much she is growing and developing with their support.
One of her favourite things is seeing their lovely pets, which makes her time there even more special!
We cannot thank Chris and Julie enough for everything they do for our daughter. The love, care, patience and encouragement they give her mean so much to us, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found them. Seeing how happy she is going there and how much she has blossomed speaks volumes about the wonderful environment they provide.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Chris and Julie to anyone looking for childcare. Thank you both for being such a special part of our daughter’s journey and for helping her become the amazing little girl she is today! ❤️
Both my children had gone to little hedgehogs childcare, I think altogether they were there for around 4 years. I could not fault them. A home away from a home. They were a second family to my children providing that necessary care and comfort so needed in their early lives. They were supportive of not only the children but of myself and worked alongside me during difficult times to ensure everyone was being supported. When my child got a dairy diagnoses they were more than happy to accomdate and also supported my son who is neuro diverse who's awaiting a diagnosis. They have adapted things for him and supported him with his Communication and even sent off referrals when needed to ensure he gets all the support he needs. Communication is brilliant and could not fault them. If by any means I do have another child in the future, would definitely go back to them. I plan to still use them if possible for teaching training days as well as my children love them and miss them very much.

Kika has been a nanny to my daughter for almost two years now. She has never let us down, she has been reliable, friendly and genuinely formed a bond with my daughter who loves spending time with Kika. Kika is always on time, smiley, knows the best places to take children and has fun ideas for crafts and fun activities. She is fully engaged for the time she spends with my daughter and never missed a days work. She adapts to the family routine and is happy to follow any requirements, ie sometimes she may stay at home or take my daughter out the house and she adapts to what me may need on the day. I can’t fault Kika at all, she’s been a very good nanny to our daughter (from 2-3.5 years old). Very easy going, trust worthy and knows how to communicate in an age appropriate, fun way with children from the very first day of meeting them.

Our baby girl started coming here in March 2026 when only 16 months old and she is so happy to go everyday! The app with daily updates and photos is amazing and there’s always photos of our girl playing outside, with others, and making crafts. Our recent favorite was her family tree and asked us for photos of grandparents and siblings. I especially found this touching since my parents live in Arizona.
AJ is very communicative, clear, and her routines have helped my daughter tremendously with naps at home and even her digestion has improved!
With my husband and I both working odd hours, and having 2 other children 50% of the time, it has been a blessing to make something work for our family.
She has also been kind and generous when changes in our lives occur, and very caring about the health and wellness of all members of our family when someone has been ill.
Her home is a 5 star resort compared to the nurseries I’ve seen!! My daughter has grown to love Marsh House as her second home.
Thank you for all you do and all of your patience. 💖

We were so fortunate to be recommended Linda's childminding care by a family member who lived in the area, and more fortunate to get a place for our 6 month old! Linda made the transition so easy for all of us from being with my daughter full-time, to having her in a daycare, because it was a home away from home. She really loved her time at Linda's; it was a nurturing home environment where she had much fun, alongside lovely outings that they would also do. It was very easy to trust Linda's care from the start, and she would go out of her way to provide the best for the children, and parents. When we decided to move out of London, having to take our daughter out of Linda's care made it a much harder move! I would recommend Dandelion Daycare to anyone!
Our son has been in Minu's care for over two years. We moved him from a well-known international nursery, and handing his care to a childminder was an unknown for us and we have had no regrets. The bond he has formed with Minu is stronger than anything we found in a more standard nursery setting.
Minu is reliable and personable. She has been there for the big milestones, from his first steps and first words to everything since. Our son had really flourished under her care. He is kind, smart and well spoken because he is so well looked after.
The food is balanced and largely homemade. These are meals you would be proud to serve your own family.
She is a mother herself and understands what parents need and she cares for our son like one of her own. She creates an environment that works for you and your child. Her own children are lovely and caring, and a testament to her parenting.
Debbie and David are absolutely amazing. My daughter adores her time spent here. I know she's well looked after and entertained while in their care. They go above and beyond and even give us updates on our little one throughout the day. Couldn't ask for better as these guys are above standard, really caring and friendly and brilliant with kids!

I was very pleased to sign an agreement with this person; however, five days before the start of the half-term break, it turned out she was having persistent issues with her bank—problems she claimed she didn't have time to resolve. As a result, neither my Monzo nor my Metro Bank account would accept the payment details she provided. I offered several alternatives, such as using a payment link where she could enter her details by herself or using PayPal. I even asked her to share her bank transfer details directly from her banking app to ensure everything was correct. She insisted that she was too busy, claimed the details she had provided were correct—adding that "others manage to pay just fine"—and then demanded that I bring cash instead. The whole situation felt wrong, so I refused this method of payment. Consequently, I was forced to cancel the contract, leaving me without childcare and with no other options, given how late it was. I can’t help but wonder if this was a deliberate move to back out of the agreement—it’s just a shame it happened at the very last minute.
