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.
She is my child's ideal babysitter, and I am thrilled with her professionalism and services. She is also ideal for overnight sitting and emergencies. Every time I have to leave for work, she takes great care of my son. It's amazing that she has been a caregiver for the family for the last 2.5 years. She is the ideal babysitter for any parent.
My husband needs to spend about two months in Cambridge every year, so we always try to plan our visit during the children's school holidays in India. We first enrolled our daughters with Dhani Ma'am in 2024, returned in 2025, and once again in 2026.
Over the years, Cambridge has become a second home for our girls, now aged 5 and 3. They absolutely love going to Dhani Ma'am and genuinely miss her whenever we are away.
Dhani Ma'am made our stay in Cambridge so much easier and more enjoyable. The activities, meals, outdoor play, and daily routines were all thoughtfully planned and perfectly suited for the children.
What touched us the most was seeing how excited the girls were every evening for the next day. They would wake up eager to go, which speaks volumes about the comfort, care, warmth, and love they felt in her presence.
We are truly grateful for the nurturing environment she has created and for the wonderful memories our children have made with her over the years.
Our boys have been going to Sara’s since they were both 9 months old (one nearly 14 and one 10 yrs). From being there full days before starting school to before and after with Sara doing the school run. With working full time I wanted the boys to have somewhere safe and homely that they could go and this is why is continued when they started school as I felt it would be better for them than staying at after school clubs (especially if there were issues at school). Sara has consistently provided them and all the other children in her care with a safe space to learn and grow into themselves. She has provided so many experiences and learning opportunities over the years, more than I would have been able to offer them. I truly believe their time spent with Sara before starting at school prepared them for being at school full time.
One thing Sara loves is a celebration - you can bet any Calender event will be celebrated & my favourite celebration will always be the little graduation party she does for those going into full time education setting.
Due to the boys ages and with both being at high school this year we have made the decision to stop sending them but they will forever hold the memories made with Sara and look back on these with smiles and happy hearts.
Marcia is so wonderful, kind, caring & instantly feels like part of the family. She provides the most beautiful care for our children & they all adore her. I have never met someone as great as Marcia is with children. I felt I could instantly trust her to care for my children. She fits into our house perfectly. We all love Marcia.
Emily is such a safe pair of hands for your children, she exudes kindness and warmth and has always looked after our girls beautifully. I would highly recommend Emily for any babysitting jobs - she is my go to if we ever go out. She's fun and the girls love it when she comes round, you couldn't ask for a better sitter.
We’ve had a horrendous experience with this provider, albeit we have come away feeling like we dodged a bullet.
We first visited when I was pregnant and we were blown away by the setting. It’s incredible in terms of facilities. We were so happy to have secured places for our twins.
Fast forward to a couple of months before the twins were due to start, and we received an email from the childminder asking us to come back for a further visit to “build a relationship” ahead of the girls starting. We of course agreed. There was some back and forth trying to find a suitable date and time that worked for everyone and, at one point, we didn’t respond for a week over half term. This wasn’t intentional, life was simply busy.
When we did reply, agreeing to the suggested date, we received an email from the male owner stating that taking over a week to respond was not how he did business. He also said they had “reservations” about us and that it was therefore essential that we meet. Given that the couple had only met us once, I was left unsure what those reservations could have been. He went on to say, “We just don’t feel an initial working relationship has started to develop and this is something we both consider essential.”
I wasn’t aware it had been our responsibility to build a relationship with them prior to our girls starting. He signed off his email with the following - “if you still wish to place the twins with us may I suggest you come back with some times and dates that may fit both of our schedules.”
We were extremely upset by this exchange and were left feeling that the girls’ places could potentially be withdrawn despite having already been confirmed in writing. It totally undermined our confidence in the arrangement and ultimately we decided that we could not move forward with the setting.
We were devastated and left in an awful situation with no alternative childcare just six weeks before my return to work.
As a same-sex family, the experience unfortunately left us questioning whether there may have been any element of bias in how we were treated. We have no way of knowing whether that was the case, but it added another layer of distress to an already upsetting situation.
My advice would be to proceed with caution. Our experience left us feeling that prospective parents are being assessed against standards that are not clearly communicated, and that a place may not feel as secure as you might expect even after being confirmed.
We booked Kellie at the last minute for our wedding, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she arrived, she was amazing with our little boy. He had the best day and always looked so happy, comfortable, and content in her care, which meant the world to us.
One of our favourite memories from the day was having our little boy join us for part of our first dance. Kellie made that moment happen seamlessly, bringing him over at just the right time and helping create a memory that we’ll cherish forever. It was such a special part of our day, and we’re so grateful for her thoughtfulness and support.
Having Kellie there allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing our son was safe, happy, and having just as much fun as we were. She went above and beyond throughout the day, and her calm, caring nature made such a difference.
We can’t thank Kellie enough for helping make our wedding day so perfect. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, kind, and genuinely wonderful nanny.
Kate is a great babysitter. She works at a nursery and has a 2 year old so we felt completely comfortable that she could deal with anything. She is extremely reliable, a great communicator and professional - she even had us fill out a (simple) form so she had the necessary information about our daughter.
Wendy has been looking after our daughter since she was one year old, and she has been wonderful from the very beginning. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her, and she has always been incredibly accommodating and supportive.
Our daughter is always happy in Wendy's care and has learned so much during her time with her. We have seen tremendous progress in her learning and development, which is a testament to Wendy's dedication and care.
Knowing that our daughter is happy, safe, and well looked after gives us complete peace of mind. We couldn't be happier with the care and support Wendy provides and would highly recommend her.

We just moved from India to the UK with our 2 year old toddler and we expected to have a lot of trouble settling in, but Koko really helped us in this difficult time, taking care of the baby, thus helping us to divert our minds to setup our home, take care of office work. Also, she is an excellent cook which was an additional benefit we never thought we needed until she offered to help. We had excellent food everyday both in lunch and dinner. Overall it was more than worth the time and money we shared. Would highly recommend. Also understanding baby needs and also setting some boundaries really helped us and she also taught us some parenting techniques which we as a first time parents did not have.
Amanda is amazing both my kids have attended since around 9 month old oldest now been 13. My youngest still goes on morning and is a sen child, Amanda is brilliant with him having patience calmness and structure for him to be able regulate himself. My eldest still goes in holidays to say hello. Amanda treats all her kids with fairness and respect and will go up and beyond for any of them. I work full time early starts (6 o clock drop off) and she is more then accommodating. She is supportive and caring towards all kids and parents if support is needed! I would not send my children to anyone else.
We couldn’t recommend Kellie and Naomi more. They were absolutely wonderful - so warm, calm and caring. It gave us such peace of mind knowing the babies were so well looked after, which meant we could properly relax and enjoy the day. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for wedding childcare 🤍
We were delighted with the care Tessa provided for our two autistic boys during my brother's wedding. She was warm, patient, and attentive, taking the time to understand their individual needs and helping them feel comfortable and secure throughout the day.
Her calm and caring approach allowed us to relax and enjoy our day, knowing our children were in safe and capable hands. We would highly recommend her to any family, especially those looking for someone experienced, compassionate, and reliable.
Choosing Aarthi to look after my son was one of the best decisions we made. She has cared for him since he was just 15 months old, and over the years she has become so much more than a childminder to our family.
From the very beginning, she created a warm, loving environment where my son felt safe, happy, and valued. When he first started going to her, she would cuddle him until he was calm and settled, which meant so much to us as parents. Her home truly became his second home. She is one of the kindest and most compassionate people I have met, and the genuine care and affection she shows every child is something very special.
Watching the bond they have built over the years has been wonderful. She has supported his growth, celebrated his milestones, and always been there with patience, encouragement, and a smile. My son often talks about Aarthi and clearly loves being around her daughters and shares special bond with them too. Knowing that he was spending his days with someone who cared for him so deeply gave me complete peace of mind.
We will always be grateful for the love, dedication, and support she has given our son and our family. She has played such an important role in his early years, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to care for him. What a blessing it has been to have her as part of our lives.

Julie provided exceptionally attentive, caring, and fun care for my 10yo for the day while I was in Edinburgh for a work trip. It made it a fun adventure for us both. Julie was excellent with reaching out in advance and planning a day that would suit my sons needs, taking care to reflect his and tune into his neurodiverse needs. I felt so reassured when speaking with her over the phone and then when we met in person, and my son was immediately comfortable and had a wonderful day. I will certainly look to book with Julie again in the future.
I cannot recommend Jodie and her team highly enough. Returning to work when my son was just 7 months old was difficult, but Jodie and her team made the transition so much easier for both of us.
One of the things that reassured me most was that my son never cried when I dropped him off. On the occasional morning when he was tired or a little unsettled after a poor night's sleep, the staff would comfort and cuddle him after drop-off, and it was clear that he formed a secure and healthy bond with them very quickly. Knowing he felt safe, happy, and cared for gave me real peace of mind.
I particularly appreciated the smaller, quieter setting. My son has since moved on to a much larger nursery due to his age, and settling there has taken considerably longer. I am very grateful that Jodie was able to provide such a nurturing environment for him during his baby years.
Communication was always excellent. The team kept me fully updated on his naps and feeds and they were always reassuring and helpful whenever I had questions. It was obvious that they genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Every morning he was greeted with big smiles and a warm welcome, which meant so much to me as a parent.
Thank you to Jodie and her wonderful team for providing such loving, attentive care during an important stage of my son's life. I will always be grateful for the support, kindness, and reassurance they gave our family.
Our son has been going to Rahma since just before he was one years old. We wanted a home-from-home environment for him as he was so young, and Rahma and her team have provided just that. Rahma supported us with a really flexible start to allow our son time to settle, and kept us updated with photos and information about how he was doing. Now at two and half years old, going to Rahma's house is his favourite thing to do! He often talks about her and his friends there, and it is clear to us how happy he is and how much he loves going.
Rahma is super flexible and has been amazing when we have needed extra days. We love receiving photos via the app and seeing the fun activities our son has been doing each day. It is clear how much Rahma and her team care for the children they look after, and we are very grateful to have found them.
We would highly recommend Rahma to anyone who is looking for a loving, stimulating, and caring environment for their child.
