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.
Beccy has been looking after Odette (2yo) for over 6 months now and has become an extension of our family in the process.
Beccy is flexible, considerate, communicates with us all the time, and operates as though Odette is her own.
Odettes speech and development has come on really well since Beccy has been in our lives, and that's because of all the time and investment she puts into making the time that she's with Odette to be fun, interactive and educational.
Beccy does cost higher than the average child minder, but that's because what she provides in service and care is well above market average.
I have total piece of mind when Beccy had my daughter. We are very lucky to have Beccy in our corner. 🥰

We were so fortunate to have had Monika care for our 16-month-old son, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she is a natural with children. My son immediately warmed to her, which gave us a great sense of relief. Not only did he feel comfortable in her presence, but he also slept soundly and peacefully under her care—something that’s not always easy with a toddler!
As new parents, we were a bit nervous about leaving our little one for the first time, but Monika put us at ease right away. She was incredibly warm, professional, and caring, and she clearly made an effort to connect with him. Her calm demeanor and attentiveness helped us feel confident that he was in great hands.
It’s rare to find someone who not only takes care of your child but genuinely seems to connect with them, and that’s exactly what we experienced with Monika. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and loving babysitter.
Tam is absolutely wonderful. I have only good things to say about her. She looked after our son from when he was 7.5 months until he was a year old. We started with a couple of mornings a week, and Tam eventually looked after him for 3 full days a week. He absolutely loved his time with her - got involved with all sorts of creative activities, and was treated as part of the family. Tam is so caring, helpful and loving. It made me feel so safe leaving our baby with her, and her wonderful family. She'd send regular updates, and was so considerate to his needs. Couldn't ask for a better childminder. We were very sad to say goodbye!
My LG started with Anoushka Jan 24 after almost a year with a previous childminder, The difference we noticed in our LG along with other family members was outstanding. Her speech, her confidence along with the knowledge was incredible. When ever our LG was upset in the morning that mummy or daddy was going to work, she was always happy to go with Anoushka, no questions asked. Lots of fun activities was relayed to us each time she was there. We would definitely use Anoushka again if we was to have another.

We had a really positive experience with Little Dolphins. The staff were always so friendly and welcoming, and it was clear they were well-prepared and genuinely cared for the children. My child settled in quickly and was always happy to go, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and open communication, and I felt confident that my child was in a safe, caring environment. Would definitely recommend to other parents!
If you're a Montessori parent or guardian this is the right setting for you. My boy has been in their care since he is 9 months old on a part-time basis and his development has been incredible. Numeracy, language, gross motor skills and supporting emotional development has been always at the forefront. Promoting independence and creativity with extreme care on risk assessment/safeguarding for all children involved. They are also great in cooperating and communicating with parents so we are kept informed and at peace. Could not recommend more :)

"I had been struggling to find a nanny to look after my two kids, and then I came across Lauren’s profile. And asked her if she is available to help and she kindly accepted. I could immediately tell how professional, caring, and trustworthy she is. My kids love her, and I’m so glad to be working with her."
My 10 month old and 2 year old absolutely love Krissi! She was brilliant with them, caring and attentive. Krissi was incredible with taking care of and teaching my kids. She is reliable and I didn’t have to worry about her not showing up as I have experienced with other nannies on this site. She was super caring and handled my two perfectly! I will definitely call her again!

2-3 sentences are simply not enough to explain how good Georgie is!
Georgie has been part of our lives for 5 years now, firstly with our daughter who she nurtured from 10 months until 4.5 years when she went to school and latterly with our Son for the last 3 years.
Georgie is exceptional, her kindness, empathy and love has ensured our children have developed into who they are today. This extends to making us as parents feel at ease, nothing is ever too much trouble, Georgie is one of a kind!
Georgie's setting is fantastic, a cabin with fantastic toys indoors and outdoors, structured days and classes she puts on for the children which they enjoy so much! Georgie offers healthy lunch and snack choices also which solidifies how good her setting is.
We would not look anywhere else if we were to have any more Children. We cannot thank Georgie (and Allan!) enough, for all they have done for us.
Thank you a million times over G!
I love Georgina and the way she looks after my boys. My eldest says new things after I pick him up all the time. New words new understanding of things, new emotional behaviour. My youngest one has some allergies that causes his nose to run a lot. The care he has shown is outstanding, from advice to additional care in the setting.
I love that she provides nutritious yummy cooked lunch.
Georgina has provided a solid star in their lives and I'm so grateful we found her. My boys love her.

Both of my children attend Little Dolphins (one child for full days and one for breakfast/afterschool) and absolutely love their time there.
The team are amazing and always keep us up to date on their activities. My daughter has thrived since both socially and educationally since attending the setting and I could not thank the team enough for all that they do!

My daughter has been with Justyna since she was 1.5 years old, and she absolutely loves her time in the setting. We are still with Justyna for after school care.
From the beginning she made my daughter feel comfortable and secure, and I can tell that my daughter enjoys every moment she spends.
I truly appreciate the regular updates and communication from Justyna which keeps me informed about how my daughter is doing.
I would highly recommend Justyna to anyone looking for a warm, caring and professional childminder.
As a first time mum, I was very anxious at the prospect of leaving my 9 month little boy to return to work, but from the moment I met Loui and Adam I clicked with them and they reassured me with their warm, welcoming personalities, their lovely home and facilities, and the way they interacted with my child and the other children.
My little boy is unsure of people other than mum and dad, but he has settled in so well with Loui and Adam and this is testament to them as childminders. I’m so glad I chose them to entrust with caring for my little boy.

Danu has been an incredible childminder for both my children since their earliest years – my son was just eight months old when she came into our lives. Danu is wonderful, caring, loving and very creative - always looking for ways to stimulate the children and help them grow through experiences. Danu goes above and beyond by organising social events for the families, which has created a strong sense of community and resulted in wonderful friendships among the parents. Danu has become more than just a childminder; she's family and we remain incredibly grateful for her exceptional care, even now as she continues to babysit.
Stella has looked after our 5-month-old, E, twice now. Stella is brilliant with her - she is really calm which really helps to settle E who finds it difficult to be separated from us. Stella makes a point of sending us video updates on how E is getting on which really helps reassure us as first-time parents. We're really glad to have found Stella
My son was with Deborah between the ages 11 months to just over 2 years, and it was the best decision for our family. Deborah is incredibly patient and gentle with my son, he has been so happy there!
He really struggled with separation anxiety from a young age, Deborah was calm and patient whilst he adjusted to his new routine and eventually he was waving me goodbye at drop-off with a big grin! She's super attentive to him, and provides me with regular updates throughout the day, sending wonderful photos of my son having fun at various playgroups and softplay places. She has an incredible range of toys and puzzles, both indoor and outdoor, and regularly takes him to the nearby parks. My son is a difficult eater, and Deborah is very honest with how much he eats and provides feedback on his preferences. Her home is incredibly clean, and you can tell she is very experienced at taking care of kids. I cannot thank Deborah enough for taking such good care of my son!
Linda is such a kind and caring person and has been amazing with our son who started with her when he was just 1. Lindas home is so warm and welcoming, we settled in so quickly and it feels like we’ve known her forever. Our little boy absolutely adores going to Linda’s and has a massive smile on his face when we pick him up. I can’t recommend Linda enough for a home from home feeling x
We moved our daughter over to Kiddiesmiles from another nursery. Definitely the best decision we ever made. Our daughter is thriving with Ayesha. Her confidence has increased alot since moving to Ayesha. She loves going and even talks about Ayesha and all the kids over the weekends. She comes home everyday with so much to tell us about what they did. Ayesha is so patient with all the kids and has really helped our daughter. As an only child, she often doesnt like sharing but since going to Ayesha, she now shares her toys with others. Im so glad we found Ayesha. I would highly recommend Kiddiesmiles.
Anshu engaged my 8 year old son in tutoring in a very skillful way and managed to fit in a lot of tasks within sessions without him feeling overwhelmed. He felt praised and understood by her and as parents we were given very clear feedback about his strengths and areas of development. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for tuition.
