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.
Miri looked after Evie last Friday evening for 4 hours (first time we left her with anyone we don’t know well), and she did an amazing job! She also just immediately put me at ease and pretty much finished my sentences when I was explaining how to do certain things or about Evie’s quirks, so she is clearly very experienced. She was proactive with sending updates and photos to put us as ease, and is generally also a lovely person to just chat with! Definitely a good choice. Thank you Miri!

Our daughter has been with Kate since mid December and she is loving it! It truly is a home from home setting with all the love and warmth you want your children to have whilst you’re at work. Our daughter settled in really quickly and has already progressed so much. Couldn’t be happier with our choice of childminder - we know she is well cared for, well fed with healthy nutritious meals and actively encouraged in her development. The best!
I couldn’t be happier with the care our son received. As a child with ASD, it was really important to us that he was looked after by someone patient, understanding, and attentive to his individual needs, and that’s exactly what we found.
Anette created a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where my son felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to understand him, followed routines carefully, and always showed genuine care, patience, and kindness. I saw real progress in his confidence and happiness while he was in her care, which meant so much to me.
Communication was always clear and reassuring, and I felt completely confident knowing my son was in such capable hands. I am incredibly grateful for the care and dedication she showed, and we would highly recommend her to any family, especially those looking for someone experienced and compassionate with children who have additional needs.
Our child settled in very quickly with her, which meant a lot to us. She is calm, patient, and caring, and creates a safe and happy environment where our child feels comfortable and secure every day. My child doesn't cry during the drop in section and our lunch box is always empty at the end of the day..
Katie has been an incredible part of our lives, caring for our little boy, Cyrus, from when he was just 6 months old until he turned 2. We couldn’t have asked for a more loving, patient, and dedicated childminder. She has played such an important role in his early years — she helped him grow, learn, and even start talking.
Cyrus absolutely flourished in her care. Every day with Katie was filled with warmth, kindness, and genuine attention. She treated him as if he were her own, and as parents, that gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing he was safe, happy, and loved meant everything to us.
We are deeply grateful for the beautiful start she gave our son. Katie didn’t just look after him — she helped shape him into the confident, curious, and joyful little boy he is today. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Harriet has been an incredible childminder, and I feel truly fortunate to have her as my daughter's first caregiver. My daughter eagerly anticipates her mornings with Harriet, where she has formed a special bond that feels like family. It breaks my heart to say goodbye due to our relocation; if it weren't for that, we would have loved to extend our time together! My daughter has grown so much under Harriet's care, building vital skills through play and exploration. Harriet creates such engaging themed activities, ensuring that the children remain both entertained and enriched. It’s heartwarming to see how safe my daughter feels to explore her interests, and her focus has developed beautifully. Thank you for all your care and love 💕 We will miss you x
Since our little lad has been with Dee hes excelling in his education, learning and communication skills. He comes home and always tells us what a great day he’s had. So glad we moved him from a nursery to dees he’s come on heaps and bounds will forever be grateful to Dee for her kind care and attention to the children.
Angel supported my mum in caring for our two children with additional needs so my husband and I could have an evening out. She kindly came for dinner with us as a family the day before, which helped everyone feel comfortable. Angel was calm, kind, and confident, including providing 1‑to‑1 support at bedtime where needed. The next day both children were well‑rested and settled, and they’ve said they’d be happy for us to go out again if Angel is there. We felt completely comfortable and would highly recommend her.
Arden has been an absolute joy for our family. My son truly loves spending his days with her, especially going out and exploring — he always comes home happy and full of stories. Arden is kind, reliable, and completely trustworthy, which gives me real peace of mind. She is always willing to help, has a positive attitude, and clearly cares deeply about what she does. We feel very lucky to have had her as our nanny and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

She is a mother to all her children and an angel for all the parents. she goes out of the way to help everyone as and when she can. She has been absolutely amazing and god sent for my son. I don’t think I could’ve achieved what I needed if she wasn’t there, very dedicated , very caring child minder and absolutely brilliant person. If I could give 10 stars I would. 100% recommended.
If you are lucky enough to have Neeny caring for your children, you truly have something special. She brings the warmth, love, and magic of a real-life Mary Poppins into your home. She is endlessly kind, patient, and nurturing, while also making every day feel safe, joyful, and full of care. My child adores her, and so do we all. She doesn’t just look after children, she enriches their lives.

From the first moment I met Elena I felt very welcome in her lovely family home and knew she was the child minder for my son. Elena is so warm, friendly, caring and nurturing, she caters to your little one’s needs which is very reassuring when leaving your baby. It was important for me that my baby received good quality loving care when required, a home from home environment, healthy home cooked meals, engaging activities where he can learn and somewhere he is able to socialise and feel safe and have fun. Elena provides all of this and more with a lot of love and attention.
Since we have been going to Elena’s my son is doing very well and gaining more confidence all the time, he enjoys going to her each week and he is learning so much, he also loves her food and has a very good relationship with the rest of her family and the other children. Elena is great at following my son’s usual routine, she will advise me how he gets on through the day and if there are any issues, she is very good at adapting to whatever he needs. I feel confident leaving my son knowing he is very well looked after and appreciate everything she is doing.
Kate and her team are, quite simply, amazing. They provide an exceptional standard of care, combining high-quality provision with a truly nurturing heart.
Returning to work after maternity leave felt like such a daunting hurdle for both me and my son, but the team’s reassuring presence and professional expertise gave me instant peace of mind. My son has been with them for nearly a year now, and it has been a joy to watch him flourish both socially and developmentally.
Why We Love It:
Curious Minds: The team excels at delivering a well-structured educational programme. Their monthly rotation of topics keeps the children engaged, curious, and excited to learn.
Healthy & Happy: The nutritional standard of the home cooked meals is outstanding. It’s so comforting to know my son eats like a King every day - their well being is clearly the top priority.
Trustworthy & Kind: For any parent feeling that natural apprehension about childcare, I cannot recommend Kate and her team highly enough. They provide a trustworthy, enriching, and loving environment.
Choosing Kate was the best decision we could have made; you won't regret it for a second.
Catriona looked after our little boy on Saturday evening whilst we enjoyed a night out. She was great from start to finish, friendly and reassuring so we felt like our son was in good hands and were able to relax. Thank you so much! Will 100% be using her any time we are in Belfast
"We were very nervous about leaving our little son, but [Summayya] made us feel so comfortable. Our son has always absolutely loved going there in the morning and he seems happy reaching there .it’s a massive relief to know she is so well looked after by Summayya.."
My twins were with Tammy from 13 months old when I went back to work.
I was looking for a safe, warm and welcoming home from home environment for them where they would be able to learn through play, develop new skills and be in a calm environment, which we found with Tammy.
An experienced childminder with so many years of experience under her belt and a genuine love for kids. Tammy would get as excited as we would when the twins hit milestone goals and was the perfect transition when I came off mat leave, leaving my babies for the first time.
The kids always came home with fully bellies after some pretty great homemade dinners and made mine and my partners life and transition back to work seamless.
Tammy felt like part of our 'village' and for that we are so grateful.
It's early days, but Miri has been a wonderful sitter for my son so far and we're looking forward to continuing a long-term arrangement with her. My son is 2 years old and due to on-call requirements, I've hired Miri to help out on those occasions with nursery pick-up, travel home, putting my son to bed and staying in my home overnight in case I'm called away to work.
She's kind, respectful, understanding and a pleasure to have in my home. My son took to her immediately and I'd feel comfortable leaving her with him during the night if/when I'm called into work. Miri is easy to communicate with, friendly and has taken easily to a rather unique situation, which has been invaluable.
