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.
Nicole was simply amazing with my daughter over the 2 and a half years she was with her. She’s caring, loving and creates so much fun. They went on lots of days out and even on days they didn’t there were always activities set up. Her communication is great and even now my daughter has been at school for a year she has kept in touch and arranged meet ups with my daughter and her friends she was there with.
I wish we’d found her earlier so my eldest could have attended too.
Having Dee as our son’s nanny during the six weeks of school summer holidays has been an absolute blessing. Because our son has SEND and requires extra support, finding the right person can be daunting, but Dee has been a complete godsend to us.
She is exceptionally kind, knows how to set the right boundaries, and consistently goes above and beyond to be helpful and make activities genuinely fun. Our son absolutely adores her, and it has been wonderful to watch him feel completely comfortable and be 100% himself around her.
We are so grateful we found her, and we already know she will be our go-to person for the upcoming school holidays and any future care we need.
Thank you so much, Dee—you are amazing!

Friendly, loving and professional. My son thoroughly enjoyed being cared for by Shaheda for 9 months. We plan to stay in contact for any additional childcare needs. I found it so hard to trust someone to look after my child but I have built so much confidence and trust in Shaheda. Thank you so much for being an important part of my son’s life. He has learnt a lot.
Doreen has just completed a temporary stint for us working two full days a week looking after my 6 year old son and 2 year old daughter over the summer holidays (2026).
All I can say is that I am so glad we stumbled upon Doreen. She carried me through a long 9 week summer holiday keeping my two children busy with outings to the local library, the town’s splash park & playground as well as visiting various other playgrounds in our town (as per the request of my son). Doreen was very happy and capable to take them further afield but we chose to stay local for familiarity & to continue play sessions with new friends!
I was invariably home most of the time while Doreen had the children but was still able to get the jobs done that I needed as husband was abroad at various times of the holiday. My son likes to test boundaries and is very confident within his opinions however Doreen handled him like a champ and was firm but fair in how she dealt with him and the occasional tantrum/ resistance. She is highly experienced with children of all ages and it really showed with how she handled each of my children in a manner that suited their personality.
I would have no hesitation calling Doreen in future and we miss her already!

Nicole was absolutely amazing in caring for my daughter for over three years, and I honestly don’t think I could ever put into words how grateful I am for everything she has done for my daughter and our family.
Leaving your little one for the first time is such a huge step, and I had so many worries and anxieties. Nicole made that transition so smooth and helped ease so many of my worries. From the very beginning, she kept me updated, listened to any concerns I had and always went above and beyond to reassure and support us. Knowing my daughter was in such a loving, nurturing and safe environment gave me a peace of mind that I will always be thankful for.
Nicole has always been incredibly helpful and supportive. When we were struggling with sleep, she was always there with advice, ideas and encouragement.
She has an amazing sensory corners and safe spaces where the children could go if they needed some quiet time, space to themselves or somewhere to regulate their emotions. She never made my daughter feel different or like she was a problem to be managed. Instead, she understood her, accepted her for who she was and helped her learn how to understand and manage her emotions in her own way.
Communication between Nicole and myself was fantastic. She always made sure we worked together and kept things consistent between home and the childminder setting, which made such a huge difference in helping my daughter feel secure and supported. I always felt listened to, and I knew we were working as a team to give my daughter the best possible support.
Nicole also played such a huge part in preparing my daughter for starting school. She helped develop her confidence, understanding, learning, communication and independence, but most importantly, she did all of this while allowing her to simply be a child — having fun, playing, exploring and feeling safe and heard.
Nicole so special is the genuine care she has for the children. She created a true home-from-home environment where my daughter felt safe, loved, understood and completely comfortable. She has been so much more than just a childminder to us.
Kasia spent some time caring for my 9 month old in our home. Though they had only met briefly before, my daughter absolutely took to her, and clearly had so much fun playing with Kasia! She was responsible for putting her down for nap time, feeding her her bottle, nappy changes etc, all of which she did with no problem at all. Her many, many years of experience are plain to see, and her kind and warm attitude is just want you'd want in someone who works with small children. I wouldn't hesitate to have her care for my little one again, or to recommend her to anyone else.

We cannot thank the team at this nursery enough for the wonderful care and love they have given our daughter. We have felt that she was in the safest, kindest, and most caring hands.
The care has always been genuine, patient, generous, and thoughtful. The team has provided the perfect balance of warmth and guidance, helping our daughter grow into a confident, happy, and independent little girl while always making her feel safe, loved, and valued.
What has meant just as much to us as parents is the support and kindness we have received along the way. The nursery has been so much more than a place to learn and grow — it has truly been our village. We have always felt supported, reassured, and understood, and knowing that we could count on the team meant more to us than words can express.
Our daughter has made wonderful memories, developed confidence, and built relationships that we know she will carry with her for years to come.
We are incredibly grateful for the positive and lasting impact the nursery has had on our family. We will never forget the care, encouragement, and love that have been shown to her.
We wish the entire team every success and happiness as they continue to care for and nurture so many other children and families.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being such an important part of our daughter’s childhood. ❤️

We had such a wonderful experience with Carly. She is incredibly kind, caring, patient and attentive, and you can really see how much she loves what she does.
Our daughter absolutely adored Carly and built such a lovely bond with her. She always felt happy, comfortable and safe in her care, and it was so lovely to see how excited she was to spend time with her.
We are truly grateful to Carly for all the care, kindness and happy memories she gave our daughter. She will definitely be missed, and we would highly recommend Carly to any family! ❤️
Harriet was amazing so kind, caring and attentive. We arranged to meet up so my daughter could meet Harriet, great communication and response was prompt.
Thank you Harriet and so thankful you could help me in the way you did.
I would highly recommend Harriet!
Thank you again and I will be sure to contact you again in the future if i need you.

When we were looking for childcare for our son, we looked in multiple places before we found Charlotte.
From the first visit Charlotte was very welcoming and showed us everything we needed to know and how things are run.
We were happy with the setting and most importantly our son fitted right in.
Through few years that Charlotte provided care for our son he enjoyed his time, visiting many places and trips outside that was an excellent addition to his time with Charlotte. All the adventures and memories that were built is something that we will remember.
We would recommend Charlotte and her setting to anyone as it was great and fitted our priorities and also was flexible, which was utmost importance.
Annemarie is so so caring and kind and has treated our boy with such love and he is so happy when he gets picked up after having a lovely day and lovely homecooked food. I trust her with my wholeheart and rest safe when he is with her knowing he is getting the best care. Annemarie is our village and we are so very grateful for all the help and nothing is ever a bother for her. If only there were more Annemaries in the world, how lovely would that be🙂
My son had a wonderful time at Millfield Montessori during the summer school holidays. He really enjoyed going and was excited and eager to go back every day, which says a lot!
It was such a great help for us as working parents, knowing he was somewhere safe, happy and enjoying his days.
I would highly recommend Millfield Montessori to other parents looking for childcare during the school holidays. We had a really positive experience and will definitely be using them again! ❤️
Anna has been looking after our twin daughters since May 2025 and we would recommend her to any family looking for childcare. After struggling to find childcare ahead of the girls turning one, we were absolutely delighted to meet her.
Anna currently looks after our twins three days a week, alongside some additional help and babysitting occasionally. She is kind, calm, nurturing and reliable. She has also been really supportive and flexible when we have needed extra support, which has been so helpful for us as a family.
Anna is incredible with the girls as they have transitioned from babies through milestones into fully fledged toddlers! She always plans lots of fun and engaging activities with them, whether it's day trips out and about around Edinburgh, outdoor fun, library trips and arts and crafts at home. Previously, Anna taught the girls some baby sign language, has been instrumental as the girls have developed their speech and is currently helping us navigate the madness of potty training! She also cooks some great and nutritious meals and snacks for them.
Anna has developed a lovely relationship with our daughters, which is so wonderful to watch. We feel incredibly lucky to have Anna looking after the girls.
Sarah was our nanny from 2023 until just this year when our twin girls started school.
She provided a structured and nurturing environment and was a lifeline for us as full time working parents. More than that, she became part of our family and we will always be so grateful for her care.

Our little one has recently started with Carly, and absolutely loves going! Carly has been so warm, friendly and welcoming, and is always so helpful and accommodating.
She has created such a lovely, homely environment with lots of engaging activities, different toys and plenty of opportunities for play and learning. It’s clear how much thought and care she puts into making sure the children are happy, entertained and learning through play.
We’re so pleased with how well our little one has settled in and it’s such a reassurance knowing that he is in such caring and capable hands. He always seems so happy when he goes, which means the world to us as parents. We really couldn’t be happier with how things have gone so far and would highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a warm, caring and nurturing setting. 😊

We couldn’t recommend Miriam enough. She has been looking after our son Noah for the past year, since he was just 10 months old, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
Miriam is so caring, patient and nurturing, and we have always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving Noah in her care. She regularly takes him out on fun days and plans lots of lovely activities, which he absolutely loves. He is always so happy to see her and comes home excited to tell us about his day.
Over the past year, we have seen Noah grow so much in confidence and develop new skills, and we are so grateful to Miriam for providing such a happy, fun and caring environment for him.
We feel very lucky to have found Miriam and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a childminder who genuinely cares about the children she looks after. ❤️
We are so grateful to have found Shiza to care for our two girls, aged 7 and 4, over the summer holidays.
In our experience, finding someone who is warm and caring and can have fun with the girls, while also being reliable, professional and organised, can be a real challenge. We found all of these qualities in Shiza.
With both my husband and me working long days and travelling, we needed someone we could completely rely on. Shiza never let us down, and we always felt at ease knowing that our girls were being well cared for. She put so much effort into keeping them busy and entertained, organising lots of crafts and regularly taking them to local parks, the library and on fun little adventures. The girls loved spending time with her.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shiza to another family and feel very lucky to have found her.
