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.
We hired Rana for 3 months to care for our 1-year-old son, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From day one, she was incredibly sincere, dedicated, and deeply caring.
Leaving a 1-year-old with someone new can be daunting, but Rana went above and beyond to make sure our son felt safe and completely comfortable around her. Her bond with him was truly remarkable, he never once cried while in her care, which gave us immense peace of mind.
I know firsthand how reliable and kindhearted she is, and it is disheartening to see any low ratings on her profile. Anyone who has actually worked with her knows that unfair online reviews do not do justice to the wonderful person she is.
If you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, and attentive nanny who will treat your child like family, we highly recommend Rana. She is an absolute gem!
Charley started looking after our son when he turned 1 and we would recommend her to other families without hesitation. She is fun, warm, attentive, thoughtful and practical. She was happy to accommodate our request for a more gentle settling in process than we were being offered elsewhere. Our son is quite cautious, and was still breastfeeding and having contact naps at home when he started, so it was a big change. Charley was brilliant at judging what pace to take things at and he bonded with her and felt safe really quickly. She offers a lovely balance of down time at home, fun activities out and about like playing in the woods or visiting animals at the garden centre, and play with larger groups of kids too, as she has a network of other childminders who meet regularly. Our son is excited when we arrive at Charley’s house and full of beans after his days there -- we couldn’t really ask for better feedback.

Paula was our daughter's nanny from around four months old until she started nursery just before her first birthday. From day one, Paula became a true part of our family. As a first-time mum, she put me completely at ease and helped me find my feet. She is kind, gentle, thorough and helpful, and the bond she built with our daughter is obvious - she absolutely adores her!
Paula takes real care to understand and adapt to the ever-changing nap, food and bottle schedule, always keeping her routine consistent and comfortable. She was proactive in keeping her stimulated and happy, regularly taking her to local parks and baby classes.
We will miss Paula enormously, and we recommend her without any hesitation to any family looking for a nanny they can fully trust.

My children was very happy when we visited and I was very impressed with how clean and exciting the setting was. And communication with the lil one was quite impressive with how the lil interacted with the childminder. Will highly recommend. I can’t wait for my child to start.

Oh my goodness where to begin. Where would we be without the wonderful Vicky. She has been in our lives for over four years and has truly become a member of our family. Caring for our daughter and then our son, she has nurtured, cared, loved, encouraged and supported both of them in every aspect of their development. Vicky has a patience and understanding that children are drawn to. She gives them time and space to explore and often tailors her days around the children’s likes and interests. Both my children have absolutely loved their time with Vicky and if it wasn’t for school they would still be there! We miss her terribly! I would highly recommend her service and if you’re lucky enough to get a spot I would take it, your children will be so happy, safe and loved just like ours have been!
My child started at Shekel's Learning Tree when she was around 10 months old and settled in very quickly.
From my very first meeting with Shekel, I felt completely at ease and confident that my child would be safe, cared for, and happy in her setting.
From what I have observed, my child is always happy when I collect her. It often feels as though she is telling me all about her day in baby language, chatting nonstop, laughing, and smiling all the way home after pick-up. That alone tells me she has had a wonderful day.
She is always well fed. In both the photos I receive and at pick-up, she always looks content with a full tummy. My child is not yet able to feed herself properly, so knowing that someone is taking the time, patience, and care to make sure she eats well means so much to me.
Her nappy is never saggy at pick-up or in any of the photos, which shows that her needs are attended to promptly and consistently throughout the day.
Overall, Shekel's Learning Tree is amazing. The care, attention, and love shown to the children are clear to see, and I would highly recommend Shekel to any parent looking for a caring, trustworthy, and nurturing childminder.
My son has been attending here for over a year now and will be continuing until he reaches school as he has hit every developmental milestone and has a fantastic time in Marzena’s care.
Previously unhappy with another childminder we chose Marzena and haven’t looked back since, she has absolutely exceeded our expectations.
Where he was a fussy eater previously that is no longer happening, supported us with potty training when we asked and they have such a loving relationship with one another.
Highly recommended
Our eldest daughter attended Elm house from 11 months until 4 years old and our youngest is there now. Over the past 5 years we have been so impressed by how well ran the nursery is and how much the staff care for the children. The outdoor gardens are a huge plus and the children get to spend a lot of time in these areas which is fantastic.
Our 3rd baby has recently started nursery at Elm house. We couldn't recommend the nursery more, the staff feel like part of our family, they are continuously, kind, supportive, caring, trusting. Outdoor play is a brilliant part of the nursery with amazing outdoor space. 100% recommend anyone viewing this nursery for a nuturing environment for their little ones. The management team are equally amazing and caring, all the staff make a brilliant team. Having a very nervous little girl and a very boisturus little boy previously they support every childs needs like the pros they are!
Sam really was brilliant, she had our older two boys from the age of 6weeks for four days a week, she is very personable and great with the kids, who really enjoyed going to her. They were always going out and doing things and also creative activities which they loved. I would highly recommend Sam.
My son currently goes to the preschool here and has been at the nursery since 11 months, he absolutely loves it! The staff that have worked with my son have been fantastic, they have supported him and if ever there has been an issue, the manger Lynsey has always sorted them out straight away. I am grateful that my son is in a place where the care and support is wonderful! I have my second son starting next year due to feel calm and knowing he will be in a safe environment. Thank you Elm house!
Our daughter had started with Happy House Childcare (HHC) just before her first birthday and coming up to her fourth birthday, i can say she has enjoyed every day! HHC has always looked after her well and made sure she is entertained. The children at HHC all seem happy and well behaved which i believe is a good representation of how they are treated at the childcare. Our daughter has made many great friends through HHC and has prepared her so well that shes grown into a lovely character of a child who is already prepared for school (in her mind). The care that HHC has taken with our daughter to nurture her needs throughout the years has also been above expectations. HHC is a truly adored part of our family dynamic. Almost wish our daughter would stop aging so she could continue going forever!
She made me worry free with my 4 year old son. She bonded with him in the very first meeting though he’s a bit shy kind with new people. School pickup, homework, food, art activities, playing she took care of everything and made sure he was very comfortable. She’s an excellent nanny. I highly recommend her services if you want someone to take care of your kid like a family member.
My children have been going to Michaela’s for more than 3 years now. My son has attended after school club a few times but really doesn’t like it at all. He absolutely LOVES Michaela’s house! He is always really sad to leave at the end of the day and often reminds me not to collect him before time! Michaela’s home really is a home away from home for my children and they thoroughly enjoy attending! As a previous home ed mum, it was quite daunting for me to leave my children with a childminder. However, Michaela made me feel completely at ease and my children were extremely happy very quickly! In 3 years, I’ve never had to raise any issues with Michaela which is wonderful as my mind is at ease when my children are with her.
MY twin babies absolutely love this place, everybody are so lovely and professional!the house is spacious ,clean and cosy, lots of activities to do !!
We are very lucky to have found Florence and her stafI can't stop to thank them!!
