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.
Jade has had both of my children since December and its been such an amazing experience! They both absolutely love Jade and her family and cant wait to go every week. The activities are always creative & engaging and the meals are great aswell. Cannot reccomend enough!!!
Kasia looked after my 2 and 6 year boys on occasional weekends. She’s kind and patient with children, bubbly and positive, my children enjoy her company. She gets down the child’s level and really listen to them and interact them. I’d highly recommend her to family with young children.
Halima is an amazing childminder. It was the first time for us that we left our 22 month old daughter to someone and we were stressed about this idea. She was very professional and took care of our daughter like a mom would do. The food she provodes is balanced, adapted to her age and she respectes her rythm. She does a lot of activities as well to entertain her. On top of that, she is a very kind woman full of attention for us, I recommend her 1000%.
Carla has been coming to our home twice a week in the afternoons for almost three months now, and she has quickly become an indispensable part of our routine. From the start, her easygoing nature and flexibility made everything feel seamless. She is naturally motherly and incredibly caring, the kind of person who walks into a room and immediately makes it feel a bit brighter.
The bond she has built with my son, Jonas, is truly special. Jonas has some developmental delays due to Autism, and finding someone with the right level of patience and attentiveness can be a challenge. Carla is wonderful with him. She spends her afternoons truly engaged, whether they are playing, singing, or interacting one-on-one. Jonas absolutely adores her and is always beaming the moment she arrives.
Most importantly, we have seen clear improvements in Jonas’s development since Carla started, which is the greatest gift we could ask for. She is consistently punctual, professional, and a genuine joy to have around. We couldn't recommend her highly enough, though we’d selfishly love to keep her all to ourselves!

I was lucky cause I just needed a nanny for 1 day when the school was closed (inset day), and Bonnie was available.
Nicolas loved staying with her and did not want to let her go home in the end of the day. They played inside as it was raining, but he had plenty of activities and had fun!
Thank you Bonnie for your help! We will stay in contact!

Vitor looked after our two primary school aged children for almost three years until we moved to a different country. He was doing pickups from school, dinner, bath and sometimes evening babysitting. Vitor has always been a very reliable and trustworthy nanny. He developed a great relationship with the kids who really loved him, his creativity and fun; they still miss him. He is a very good cook and makes sure the children eat healthy food. He knows when to be firm and make sure the children stay safe and healthy. Vitor became a valued member of our household and we can only recommend him warmly to any family.
Sarah is an excellent childminder extremely nurturing, caring and dedicated. Since my son has been in her care he has come on so much often coming home singing new songs. Sarah provides a wide range of engaging activities from Forrest school, soft play and fun trips to the zoo. Sarah also cooks a wide range of homemade fresh meals which is a huge bonus.
Choosing Sarah means you can feel confident that your child will be well cared for, supported and genuinely loved.
We’re really happy with Kajal as our daughter’s childminder. She’s very warm, friendly, and makes the children feel comfortable straight away. The morning warm up sessions are a lovely touch they help the kids settle in nicely and start the day feeling relaxed and happy.
The food Kajal provides is amazing, especially the Indian vegetarian meals. It’s always fresh, healthy, and our daughter really enjoys it, which is a big plus for us.
Kajal also plans fun activities and keeps a nice balance between play and learning. We always feel updated about how our daughter is doing, which we really appreciate.
Overall, Kajal is caring, reliable, and genuinely great with children. We feel lucky to have found her!
We started just a few months ago and the difference is already clear. My child looks forward to sessions and is making real progress with French. Sandra has a real understanding of how to pitch things at the right level and keep students motivated. We’re delighted with how it’s going.
Happy Space Academy has been absolutely amazing in looking after my 14-month-old daughter, Saige. From the moment she started, we’ve felt completely at ease knowing she is in such a caring and supportive environment.
Anisha is fantastic with the children so warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what she does.
What really stands out is how comfortable and happy Saige is there. She’s always excited to go, which says everything as a parent. It’s also lovely to see how the other children interact with her, showing kindness and helping guide her as she learns and grows.
I couldn’t ask for a better place for my daughter. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for their child.
Sarah looked after our 1 year old 1 day a week for a few months, and we were so happy with the care she provided. Our daughter had loads of fun with her, they went out on loads of outings and I felt very safe leaving her in Sarah's hands. Thank you for providing such lovely warm care :)
Our son is flourishing and we rest assured that he is getting fun, varied experiences that are both stimulating and educational.
The biggest thing for us was the transition from being at home, being looked after by family and moving on to a childcare setting where he could make friends. Sonia made the whole thing so easy. We never had a problem with settling in and handing over our child; I think largely because of the home environment.
Sonia is a kind, decisive and proactive carer, providing new experiences often. He quickly came home talking more and engaging in focused play, that flowed much easier even without other children around. He doesn’t use his dummy at Sonia’s only for nap time.
We don’t doubt we found the right setting for our little one and so grateful for Sonia’s support. She’s part of ‘our village’, for sure!

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend my childminder, Tracey, who has been caring for my daughter since January 2025, when she was 13 months old. As we are now moving away from London, I unfortunately have to say goodbye to Tracey, which absolutely breaks my heart — but it also means another child will have the wonderful opportunity to be in her care.
When my daughter first started, she experienced some separation anxiety, but Tracey worked closely with me to gently and patiently overcome this. As a single mum, I truly valued Tracey’s kindness, patience, and unwavering support during this transition. Thanks to her warm and nurturing approach, my daughter quickly settled and has been very happy and confident in her care ever since.
Tracey provides a safe, stimulating, and fun environment, offering the children a wide variety of enriching experiences. My daughter has enjoyed regular playdates with other childminding friends, visits to local playgroups, parks, and soft play sessions, as well as fantastic outings further afield, including trips to the London Zoo, the London Aquarium, Hampton Court Palace, Chessington World of Adventures, and Garson’s Pick Your Own Fruit Farm, to name just a few. These activities have given her invaluable opportunities to explore, learn, and develop her social skills in exciting and meaningful ways.
A huge bonus is that Tracey works alongside her fantastic daughter, Megan, who is a childcare assistant and is utterly adored by the children. They are an amazing team together, both incredibly caring, loving, nurturing, and also great fun to be around! They are very active and always out and about with the children, whether it’s having lunch in the park and feeding the ducks, visiting lavender fields in the summer, heading to a pumpkin patch for Halloween, or going to see Santa in December — alongside all the wonderful arts and crafts activities they do throughout the year. Having two adults for a maximum of five children also provides an extra level of attention, reassurance, and care for every child.
Tracey is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely dedicated to the children she looks after. She has been a tremendous support to both my daughter and me, and I have always felt completely confident knowing my daughter is safe, happy, and thriving with her.
Tracey and Megan have truly provided a home away from home for my daughter, and for me as a mother, they have been an invaluable treasure to find. I will miss them both — and their entire family — enormously. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any parent looking for a trustworthy, loving, and exceptional childminder.
We could not have asked for a better experience with Catriona.
Quick response to our job, she was more than willing to come for a interview.
She was confident, professional and got on brilliantly with our child.
Sent through all her checks and details which put us at ease and was really receptive to our needs.
Could not recommend her enough and will definitely be requesting her services in the future.
Raza has been looking after my daughter for several months now and my daughter really likes her. My daughter looks forward to playing with Raza each time she comes. I feel safe to leave my daughter with Raza as she is very gentle, kind and enjoys playing with children. Whenever she takes my daughter out, she does a risk assessment and makes sure to follow health and safety guidlines. She also plans her days with my daughter to make sure to include a variety of activities like the playground, the children centre sessions, reading books or chosing different type of toys. One can see that she has a lot of experience in looking after children, which she can back up with knowledge from professional training.
When my daughter is asleep, Raza is always open to help with general housework, which she completes to my full satisfaction.
I cannot recommend her ennough as a babysitter, nanny, childminder or household help.
Ann looked after our two sons spanning five years and we could not have been luckier to have found her. She is highly experienced, knowledgeable, has a genuine love for children and is a wonderful person. She prioritises fresh air, activities, home cooked lunches and allows the children to thrive in her care, developing their language and motor skills, supporting each milestone and going above and beyond to nurture each individual child. Beyond this, she is incredibly reliable and makes the whole family feel supported. Our children thrived in Ann’s care and we learnt so much from her. Leaving Ann was the hardest part of moving house! An amazing childminder.

After having a bad previous experience, I was so pleasantly surprised to have found Gosia. You can tell how much our little boy loves her, and he has from the start. He always has so much fun with her, and every week comes back with lots of crafts. She always takes them out - either to playgroups or play grounds or even the zoo!
You can tell how much she cares for the children, and the positive impact she makes on them.
Thank you Gosia
