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.
Ivan kindly agreed to babysit for us last-minute; our two boys really enjoyed meeting him, he had a calming influence, friendly attitude, and my boys gave very positive feedback. My youngest struggles to go to sleep but Ivan got him down easily. I would definitely recommend Ivan and would happily use him to babysit regularly!
Becky has been an amazing childminder for our daughter, Joanna. She is caring, trustworthy, and always makes us feel confident that Joanna is safe and well looked after. Joanna has become very attached to Becky, loves spending time with her, and enjoys the regular outdoor activities. Becky has also been a great help with Joanna’s potty training, and we’ve seen fantastic progress. We are so grateful for everything she does and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for an excellent childminder.
Arranged to meet with Sarah at 0930 in the morning with my 1year to discuss childcare, When we arrived one of her staff answered the door, didn't seem to know we had an appointment and told me that Sarah was unwell, couldn't see us and would be in contact to re arrange. No contact from Sarah what so ever to cancel or rearrange. Very unprofessional and disappointing.
Annie has cared for our daughter since she was 3 months old (she's now 9 months) and has been an incredible support to our family during this precious stage of her life. She is kind, calm, reliable, and naturally wonderful with babies. She understood that although I needed help it was also difficult for me to be apart from my daughter and help me to gradually transition and build trust, by listening to my needs and worries.
We always felt completely at ease with her, and she quickly became such an important part of our daily life that it's truly hard to say goodbye but unfortunately we are leaving the country. Simply the best!
I am writing to recommend Hayley, who has worked as our part-time nanny since January 2026. Over the past several months, she has provided excellent care for our daughter, Freya, who recently turned two.
From the start, Hayley has been warm, reliable, and genuinely good with toddlers. She takes a proactive approach to the role, planning structured weeks that include farm visits, trips to the park, playgroup, and a variety of other local activities. We have regular photo and video updates or our little person on her days out.
Hayley brings her own daughter to work with her, and the two girls get on really well together. It has been a lovely bonus for Freya to have a companion to play with, and Hayley manages both children with ease. So much so, our daughter often asks when both Hayley and her daughter are coming back (5 mins after they have left for the day) Hayley is also super flexible around our needs, which can change at short notice, and she consistently finds practical solutions without any fuss. Seeing Freya happy and settled at the end of each day speaks for itself.
Hayley is a capable and caring childcare professional, and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Our nanny Lynn, has been with our family for 4.5 years and has been an exceptional carer to our two sons. During her time with us, the boys have thrived under her attentive and nurturing care. She is warm, reliable and deeply invested in her role, always doing her very best. We have always felt completely secure and confident in her, trusting her implicitly with our children and our home. In addition to childcare, she has been a wonderful support with family life, preparing delicious meals and helping with washing and light household tasks. We are very sad to see her leave due to a change in our family’s needs and would wholeheartedly recommend her to another family.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Anna. She has looked after both our son and now our daughter, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a more warm, nurturing and friendly childminder.
From the very beginning, Anna has made our children feel safe, loved and completely at home. She genuinely cares about every single child she looks after and creates such a happy, positive environment where they can thrive.
One of the things we especially love is how much effort Anna puts into planning fun and engaging activities. Whether it’s crafts, outdoor adventures or exploring the local community, there’s always something exciting going on. Her knowledge of the local area is fantastic, and she makes the most of everything available, giving the children so many wonderful experiences.
The biggest testament to how amazing Anna is comes from our daughter, who gets so excited whenever it’s time to spend the day with her. Knowing that our children are not only cared for but genuinely happy and eager to be with Anna gives us complete peace of mind.
We can’t recommend Anna highly enough. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have their children looked after by her.

We couldn't be happier with the care our little one has received from Maddie. From day one, she's offered a nurturing and safe environment where our child has thrived. It's been wonderful to see her confidence, independence, and social skills grow so much. We know how valuable children are, specially if it is our first one! but Maddie has demonstrated she is the right person to support our family and has provided a second warm and cozy home for our child.
Maddie provides a fantastic balance of learning through play, creative activities, outdoor adventures, and plenty of fun. Communication is excellent, with regular updates, photos, and feedback, which gives us complete peace of mind.
It's clear how much genuine care, patience, and dedication go into her work. Our little one absolutely loves going each day, which says everything. We highly recommend Maddie to any family looking for exceptional childcare.
Pavlina was with us three nights a week for the first 14 weeks after we brought our son home, and she was an absolute lifesaver. We both really needed the sleep for work and for health reasons and knowing she was there looking after him meant we could properly switch off and rest. Depending on what I wanted to do, sometimes she brought him to me for breastfeeding, and other times I could pump or just sleep and she’d keep him with her and make him a bottle. So grateful for her help.
She is such a kind, caring and lovely person. She is always punctual and reliable which wasn’t always true of others and we trusted her completely with our newborn from day one. She has so much experience and is always happy to answer questions and share advice which I really value as a first time mum. She is wonderful with our little boy and he adores her. She always seems to be able to settle him in his bassinet far more easily than we can!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Pavlina. She made such a difference to those first few months, and I honestly don’t know how we would have managed without her. She’s also a really good cook and I loved the gluten free blueberry cakes and brownies in the middle of the night! She was amazing at logging sleeps, feeds and nappy changes on our huckleberry app and would arrive in the evening having checked the app and knowing how our day had been! I found it especially comforting to have her help on the nights of his first two sets of jabs when I was worried about him getting a fever. We really hope to keep in touch and hope she can come for nights when teething kicks off or babysitting if she’s available! :)
Fantastic babysitter. Both of our girls absolutely loved spending time with her and felt comfortable from the moment she arrived. She was friendly, caring and kept them happily entertained throughout the evening. It was so reassuring knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and definitely will be using her in the future. Highly recommended.
Ashleigh has been supporting my two young children (8&4) with school drop offs, pickups and occasional evening too.
She has created a strong routine and relationship with the children, supported my eldest with his daily reading activities and helped my youngest with getting her ready
Ashleigh was helping with preparing school lunch and breakfast too.
Her communication with me was amazing and timely, always let me know on the rare occasion when she was late.
I’m so happy to recommend her services for any family in need of assistance.
Melissa is a real gem of a nanny. She has a real sense of warmth and fun, she is very kind and understanding and is so keen to ensure children feel secure, well cared for and entertained. Melissa is great company and very attentive to the children she looks after. Children really enjoy her company. She is so thoughtful, planning great activities. She is organised, reliable and solves problems easily when plans need to change. Melissa became a close and valuable member of our family. She is such a wonderful person, always looking to help. She is tidy, polite and easy going, happy to work as a team with carers to maintain consistent approaches to parenting. Any family would be very fortunate to have her as their nanny- she is gold dust !

Michele is a five star tutor. She tutored my 16 year old for his GCSE English and Maths exams.
My son had missed quite a bit of school due to anxiety. Michele has a deep understanding of the issues that a teenager, either mental health and absence issues, could be facing.
She quickly built rapport and, in a calm and friendly manor was able to get him to think and embrace the challenge, without further compounding his worries.
We were extremely impressed with Michele’s experience and ability to turn things around with our son. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
We couldn't have asked for a better childminder for our girls. They have been with Suki for almost two years and are now leaving to start preschool, and it is the end of a wonderful chapter.
From the very beginning Suki has made them feel completely at home. She is one of the very few people whose house they will happily walk straight into without any hesitation, which says everything about how safe, comfortable and loved they feel with her.
Suki plans many fun and engaging activities, from baking and crafts to outdoor play and learning through play, and it's been lovely to see how much the girls have developed during their time with her. They are always excited to tell us about what they've been doing each day.
Knowing they were happy, well cared for and genuinely looked after like part of the family has given us real peace of mind. We are so grateful for everything Suki has done for our girls over the last two years and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a caring, reliable and dedicated childminder.

Emma has been a superb childminder to our son. From the start we had settling sessions and spoke constantly to ensure we had a smooth transition. We entrusted her with our son from the age of 9months talking babe language and now his 2years and 3months with mouth full of words. He loves going to Emma’s house and always waves goodbye with a big grin on his face. Her house is child friendly with lots of learning items and clean.
We will dearly miss you Emma and this is surely not a goodbye but a see you soon 🥰
After a difficult experience in another setting and needing to move our little boy desperately, finding Kelly and Hannah was the biggest blessing we have ever had. To say our little boy loves going here would be an understatement. The experiences, curriculum, love and attention provided to the children every single day is beyond words. Our son has came on unbelievable amounts since starting here, we will forever be grateful to have found you both!
Steph is an amazing tutor! Before she started, my Grandson was behind with his reading it was a struggle to get him to read 2-4 pages. Now he reads an entire book with her during their weekly lesson after school. Steph has vastly improved his phonics, spelling and grammar. along side these skills his reading fluency has also advanced significantly proving just how effective your after school tutoring has been. From day one we noticed her encouraging yet firm support. She combines a kind personality and endless patience with a professional and punctual work ethic, makes lessons engaging and fun, and always listens to family feedback to ensure his success. We highly recommend her
