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.
Our two children have been with Giggles Childminding since they were babies, and they are now ready to start school this September. Giggles has been fantastic, creating a warm, caring and supportive environment where our children have thrived and developed brilliantly.
Pick-up and drop-off are always seamless, and the daily reports and photos are fantastic. They give us a real sense of what their days have been filled with and allow us to see all the activities, learning and fun they have been enjoying. They have also made so many lovely friends along the way.
The care, patience and dedication shown every day have made an incredible difference, and we’re so grateful for everything they have done. Our children have always been excited to go, and it has given us complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe and genuinely cared for.
Giggles has played such an important part in their early years, helping them grow in confidence, learn new skills and prepare for the next big step of starting school. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder or a better start for our children, and we would highly recommend Giggles Childminding to any family.
We booked Megan twice and both times she failed to turn up leaving a very distressed young child wondering where her baby sitter was and she has ALN.
Megan then blocked us on whats app when we tried to find out why she hadnt attended her booking and has now blocked us from viewing her profile here.
Weve tried to complain to childcare.co.uk and they dont have a complaints procedure which is concerning too seeing as they have a responsibility to ensure the sitters they provide are fit and well to work with children.
We do not believe that Megan is at all suitable to work with vulnerable children.

Jasmine’s Childminding has been nothing short of amazing – the care, love and dedication shown to every child is truly exceptional. Jasmine creates such a warm, safe and nurturing environment where children are happy, confident and thrive every single day. I couldn’t recommend her enough to any family looking for someone they can completely trust with their little one.
Where do I begin; from the very first day, Donna has gone above and beyond in caring for my daughter. She has been looking after her for over six months now, and throughout that time she has never let us down. She is reliable, trustworthy, and always communicates brilliantly.
A Warm, welcoming, clean environment. My daughter comes home happy and content. It’s obvious that Donna genuinely loves what she does.
Donna’s family are also kind, respectful, and welcoming, It really is a home-from-home environment, and as a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, safe, and loved while you’re at work.
I honestly cannot fault the care my daughter receives. Donna has become such an important part of our lives, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she does. I would recommend Donna without hesitation to any parent looking for someone who will care for their child as if they were one of her own.
Thank you Donna, you truly are amazing!
Choosing Jasmine and Charlie to look after Willow was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, they made her feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Seeing how much Willow has grown in confidence, developed new skills, and come home full of stories and smiles has been so reassuring as a parent.
It's clear that every child is genuinely cared for, and the effort, patience, and kindness they put into what they do shines through every day. Willow has created such lovely memories during her time with you, and we're so thankful for the positive impact you've had on her early years. Thank you both for everything you've done – you've given Willow the most wonderful start, and i'll always be grateful.
Corinne is genuinely incredible with children, our little girl has been going there the last 3 months since she was 12 months old, and has grown in confidence so much. Corinne always takes the kids on trips out on the bus, the beach, the park and toddler/child groups. She offers such a variety of environments for the kids to thrive in. Corinne's cooking is also a hit for our little girl, fresh healthy food and snacks offered throughout the day. My little girl settled in with Corinne from day 1, she loved all the other kids and I always find when I drop her off she gives Corinne a huge hug and goes straight in, it gives me so much comfort knowing she'll have a great day. Corinne is also fab with providing updates and photos during the day, I couldn't be happier with our choice to send our girl with Corinne and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Tara has been helping us with school pick up and nursery pick up. Recently now it's the holidays has been doing babysitting. Tara is calm, understanding and great with the kids. My 3 all have very different personalities and she has taken the time to get to know them individually and treat them accordingly. My youngest is going to school now and we will genuinely miss her.

Juhayra looked after Safa since she was 10 months until she started nursery at the start of this year. She has also kindly offered to look after her during half terms/ any other times we are short on childcare. Juhayra has made going back to work run smoothly as possible. She is always welcoming, flexible, supportive and caring. Safa has thrived and been really happy in Juhayra’s care. Safa also bonded well with Juhayra’s family, particularly her youngest daughter. Juhayra operates her services from her home which is kept really clean, she regularly updates you on their daily activities and gets back to you promptly. We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for Safa, I know she misses you and the other children, she gets so excited when she has had the odd day or two back in your care this year - a testimont to the lovely and caring bonds you have made with the children you look after.
I can highly recommend Sarah. We have been using her childminding services for over four years and have had nothing but positive experiences. She has built a genuine bond with our daughter, who absolutely loves spending time with her. Sarah is kind, caring, and friendly, and she always goes above and beyond to help whenever she can. We have complete confidence in her and are so grateful for the wonderful care she provides.
Choosing childcare is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, and we truly hit the jackpot with Lizzie.
She has been an integral part of our lives for years. Caring for our daughter from 8 months up until she turned 3, and our son from 1 to 3 years old. From day one, she created a warm, welcoming environment where both of our children always felt completely safe, nurtured, and happy.
Beyond being fantastic with the kids, she is extraordinarily reliable and flexible. On so many occasions, she has gone out of her way to support our family when unexpected things came up, going far above and beyond what we could have ever asked for.
She has genuinely become an extension of our family and any parent would be incredibly lucky to have her!

We reached out to Max about 6 months ago for babysitting and holiday care for our two boys aged 6 and 10. Our boys are both autistic and the youngest has a PDA profile. Max is absolutely fantastic with them both. My youngest, who hates being left with anyone, gets genuinely excited for when Max is coming over. We trust him completely, he’s always fun and engaged with the children. He’s been flexible and accommodating too and always arrived with a smile on his face! We cannot recommend Max enough, he has been brilliant for our family and we are so glad we have Max. We also hired him for our birthday party (nannying service) and he was great fun!
I couldn’t recommend enough!!
I felt so at ease after my visit with Jess, she is so kind and welcoming, I could automatically see how much she loves what she does and I have no doubt that any parent would feel completely comfortable leaving their little one in her care!
She is such a lovely, caring person and always puts the children’s happiness, safety and wellbeing first.
Would fully recommend to everyone I know❤️
I was recommended Annie by an old neighbour and after meeting her briefly, knew she was the right person to look after my baby.
I’m a first-time mum and was looking for something that felt personal. A calm environment that is also fun and educational and she has not disappointed!
I feel my child is in safe hands and Annie has been very accommodating to our particular needs and concerns which is exactly what an over-worrier like myself needs.
I can’t recommend her highly enough - so much so, we’ve moved out of the area and still make the hour journey to use her services!
We couldn’t be happier 😊

My son attended CC’s from 1yr -3yr. He was a nightmare at drop off (my koala baby) but Claudine and her staff made the whole experience really smooth and in no time he was running in each morning. By the end of his time at the setting he didn’t even want to come home some days. The weekly trips out and amazing lunches provided were top tier I couldn’t have picked a better place for my son to grow and nurture ahead of preschool. He has thrived in this setting. You won’t be disappointed by placing your child here. It’s home from home. Thank you for everything you have done Claudine and the team. We will be forever grateful for the safe and loving service you provided for our little Bear. Never forgotten A&B x

Grace looks after my two children during the school holidays and I honestly couldn't ask for more. They count down the days until they can go back with her - that alone tells you everything.
She has such a gentle, calm nature with them, and she makes them feel like part of her own family rather than children she's minding. They come home happy, tired out and full of stories about what they've been up to.
She's also brilliant at keeping us in the loop. We get regular updates and photos throughout the day, so we always know exactly what they're doing and how they're getting on. As a parent, that peace of mind is worth so much.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for warm, genuine, home-from-home care.
Summary
An exceptional childminder who consistently goes above and beyond. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Care
She provides outstanding care for our little boy and girl, now aged 5 and 3. It is clear she genuinely cares about the children she looks after, treating them with kindness, patience, and warmth. A particularly reassuring example is how attentive she is to their needs-if they are still hungry after their packed lunch, she will always make sure they are given extra food so they are well looked after and never go without.
Activities
The children absolutely love spending time with her because she always plans such fun and engaging days out. From trips to the zoo and water parks to visits to local parks and other exciting nearby activities, she ensures they are constantly entertained, active, and happy.
My son started with Reena at 9 months old, with settling in sessions from 8 months, and he is now 18 months and loves it there! He now goes 4 days a week and genuinely gets excited to go, when I tell him in the morning he's going to Reena's, he runs and gets his shoes.
One of his first words was "Reena" which is a testament to how comfortable he feels with her. I feel like he has learnt a lot from attending her setting and interacting with the other kids.
