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.
Tanya has looked after both my boys with additional needs.
My eldest is 10 and she looks after him before and after school. He is non verbal and autistic and she is so understanding and adaptive of his needs. It’s always a worry that he can’t talk but knowing he is laughing and smiling going and leaving is all we want. She helped us when nobody would give us the time of day. Tanya provided a pecs board so my son could communicate and encouraged him to take part in activities with other children. We all feel so welcomed into her home.
My youngest son has a lot of unwanted behaviours but Tanya always knew how to handle this and get the best out of him. She taught him some makaton signs which he still uses now. He thrived while under her care and we only moved him to a nursery setting to make the transition to school a little easier for him.
I’ve been so impressed with the support and care both my boys have received - especially as a SEN mum - I don’t trust anybody but I 100% trust Tanya to do right by my sons.
A truly fantastic childminder and would happily recommend to anyone.
Sahira is attentive and caring, providing a safe environment that promotes development as we have seen our child learn so much from the short time being there. Everytime we walk up the driveway our child instantly lights up knowing she will have so much fun there.

Micky looked after both of my daughters from 9months until they were 3 and ready to begin pre-school. Both of my daughters adore her and still speak about her often.
Her house is always clean and she provides, healthy varied meals with influence from Brazil and Italy. The days are structured and there is a focus on learning through fun.
We were welcomed into the Culora family and are lucky enough to still bump into them. My girls, particularly my youngest dives into her arms whenever we see her.
I highly recommend
Ana has been with us since before my second baby arrived helping us to entertain our 3 years old on weekends mornings. She is the perfect balance of caring, playful and as well supporting us with their routine. Now we found out as well she is great with newborns! In summary, she clearly loves what she does, she is responsive , great communication with kids and parents. Couldn’t recommend more!
7 years on my son is still with Nana which says alot. Professional, caring, clean and a safe environment its clear all the children adore Marv. All children are always happy laughing and playing together, all educational and emotional needs are met, fun stimulating activities inclusive to all ages. I would recommend the universe to her she is just Amazing😊.
I Thank you Marv from the bottom of my ❤️.

Lindsey goes above and beyond, attending social events and engaging with other children, which has significantly boosted my children’s confidence. Her punctuality and dedication to our family’s needs are truly commendable.
In short, she is an absolute star and a brilliant childcare professional. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our family.
What isn’t there to say. Yvonne is fabulous herself but more important absolutely amazing with our Son. She approached him straightaway and made a friend in him where usually he doesn’t reciprocate easily but with Yvonne it was different. She’s like a playmate with him. But he follows her instructions.
We were beyond impressed with Yvonne’s professionalism, communication and organisation in advance of the evening from the information of her service, everything was clear and upfront right down to what would happen in the event of an emergency. We felt our Son was in safe hand. Throughout the evening there was regular contact of when he was in bed and then asleep, but it didn’t overwhelmed our evening rather reassured us. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Yvonne’s service again and would highly recommend her:
My experience with Fola has been the best child minder I have come across. She is very accommodating we have been using her services for the past year for my son and now my 2month old baby is attending. She is settling in very well I am happy with the care she is receiving. I have also used her services over night my son enjoyed it. I also used her services during the school holidays, she had activities planned for the kids? My son had so much fun he kept requesting to attend more days. I’ve had a few late payments and she was very understanding of my circumstances. Fola herself is a very kind lady, she fair but firm. I recommend everyone to try her services. Honestly 10/10 she’s perfect.
Emma has been wonderful in caring for our daughter, and what initially started as short-term support quickly became someone we rely on whenever she is available. Our daughter is always happy to go and clearly feels comfortable and secure in Emma’s care. Emma has a warm, personable nature and builds great relationships with both children and parents. She plans engaging, age-appropriate activities and keeps us regularly updated with daily messages and photos via WhatsApp, which we really appreciate. We’ve seen positive changes in our daughter’s confidence and independence during her time with Emma. Communication is always open and reassuring, and we trust her completely. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma to other families.
My son has been going to Lola and her mum for around 8 months now, and he absolutely loves it. It’s such a warm, welcoming environment, and my son truly enjoys his time there.
The home-from-home setting, along with visits to the park, the farm, etc., has been amazing for him. He sees Lola more than some of his family members, and from his point of view I genuinely think he sees them both as extended family. He is always so happy, confident, and content there, and they really see and nurture Otis’s lovely personality. When he’s not there, he’s constantly on his toy phone making calls to Lola and her mum.
Not only is it such a wonderful environment, but he has come on in leaps and bounds with his development. All the experiences, being around other children, and learning important personal and social skills away from me, his dad, and his big sister have made such a difference.
I am always completely at ease knowing he is in safe hands, which makes being back at work and away from him so much easier. I can’t wait to see what this year brings

Debbie and Paul have looked after our twins since they were 9 months old. They have created a warm, friendly and welcoming environment which have nurtured my twins in to happy confident little people. They take part in daily activities mingling with other children and enjoy their trips to the park. They have supported us both with lots of advice with dealing with behaviour or sleep issues and are always a listening ear in morning. We could not be without them
Abi babysat my 2 year old daughter on and off for over a year. My daughter absolutely adored her and it was clear to see Abi's passion for children.
Abi was always on time and flexible, I could not recommend her more. Had she not relocated then we would still be asking her to babysit.
Thanks Abi
We are incredibly lucky to have Maddie looking after our little girl. From the very beginning, she has created a warm, loving, and nurturing environment where our daughter feels completely safe and cared for. Maddie is kind, patient, and genuinely loves children, and this comes through effortlessly in the way she looks after them.
Since our daughter started at Maddie’s setting, she has truly thrived in every aspect — learning through play, developing manners, growing in confidence, and most importantly, being genuinely happy. In fact, she often becomes very upset when I go to pick her up, which really speaks volumes about how much she loves being there.
We are incredibly grateful for the wide variety of activities Maddie provides, both at home and outdoors. The children enjoy a fantastic mix of play with different toys, visits to the library, exploring the outdoors, playgroups, playgrounds, soft play, and more. Our daughter always comes home well-fed, clean, changed, and in the best of moods.
Maddie is extremely trustworthy and always works closely with parents, especially when it comes to introducing changes or new routines. As a first‑time parent, I’ve also found her knowledge and advice to be invaluable — her guidance is always thoughtful and spot on.
We feel so fortunate to have found Maddie, particularly as I returned to full‑time work and was understandably nervous about leaving my child in someone else’s care. Maddie has given us complete peace of mind, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Stella is a lovely childminder and I feel fortunate to have found her. She is very warm and welcoming and speaks to the children so kindly and gently, you can see how comfortable and happy they feel with her. My boys (4 and 2) settled very quickly. Stella's setting is calm, spacious and has lovely things for the children to play with.
It is easy to communicate with Stella and most importantly, I feel completely at ease leaving my boys with her, knowing they’re well cared for and in safe hands. I’d happily recommend Stella to any parent looking for a caring and trustworthy childminder. Thank you Stella.
As first time parents we were apprehensive about our daughter going into childcare but from her first day with Tina and her team we knew we had made the right decision! Tina put as at ease straight away and it was clear our daughter loved being there when we picked her up at the end of her first day. Tina is so friendly and caring and you can see how much she adores the children. We feel very lucky that Tina and her team look after our daughter and we know we don’t have to worry at all whilst she is there!
Leanne is an outstanding childminder and I couldn’t be happier with the care my son receives. My son is 18 months old and was born 4 months premature with some complications, so choosing the right childcare was extremely important to us. Leanne has exceeded all expectations.
Having been a primary teacher and now a college tutor myself, I strongly believe in young children learning the foundations of words, sounds, numbers, and letters while learning through play. I support this at home through phonics work, and Leanne keeps in close communication so she can mirror the same songs, games, and learning activities, providing excellent consistency.
Leanne follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework which was important for me whilst creating a safe, secure, and nurturing environment where children can learn. My son is reaching all of his milestones regardless of his hard start in life, and the support he receives has been fantastic.
Leanne regularly sends photos and videos, my son is always happy at drop-off and pick-up, and she is flexible and accommodating with working patterns and schedules. She ensures he is well cared for with food, snacks, comfort, and sleep, and regularly takes him out to places such as soft play centres.
I would highly recommend Leanne to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy childminder.
Marcia is an angel. She was my sisters nanny for her 3 kids for a number of years and was absolutely amazing. She now minds our three year old Daughter Violet whenever we need some help. Violet loves her so much, Marcia is so calm, warm and welcoming. Her experience and kindness shines through always - even when Violet is being difficult Marcia is always loving and understanding. We love Marcia! When Violet is with marcia for an evening or all day long we always feel like she is with family. Can’t reccomend her enough :)
Our child has been attending Happy Hearts Home for over a year now.
We are very happy with the childminder. Happy Hearts Home provide full support and opportunity for development to our child. Children are constantly getting involved with various activities, learning new things and getting the best experience they can throughout the day.
Our child wants to go back everyday.
We strongly recommend it.
