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.
I put my son into childcare with Christine when starting a full time job, she was so lovely and accommodating. My son always had so much fun going there and felt like a member of the family. Gutted I had to take him out due to early education, but you won’t be disappointed if you choose Christine to care for you’re little ones 😊
Kasia is a lovely childminder. She has looked after my son since he was 1 and a half years old and still looks after him during school holidays. My son loves going to her and is always happy there.
She is kind, caring, and friendly. She always sends us photos during the day and keeps us updated about what the children are doing.
Kasia is very supportive and always ready to help. She gives good advice and shares her ideas when we need help with different situations.
We trust her completely and are very happy with the care she gives our son. I would highly recommend her to other parents.

Sarah provided a home-from-home environment for my daughter, which gave her a more personal setting than a nursery. She regularly went out with the other children to different places and activities, which I felt was an important part of her experience.
Communication was consistent throughout the day, with updates about what they had been doing, any issues or concerns I needed to be aware of, and regular photographs. My daughter also took part in a range of activities including crafts, baking and gardening.
She formed a particularly close friendship with Sarah’s grandson and spoke fondly about the other children she spent time with. Overall, Sarah provided a varied and engaging environment, with plenty of opportunities for socialising, activities and outings.
my daughter attended Sarah’s from 7months to age four 2 days a week.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kasia.
Before coming to Kasia, Kira attended a larger nursery, and unfortunately she found the experience quite stressful. She struggled to settle, would cry a lot, and as parents it was difficult to see her so unhappy.
When we moved Kira to Kasia, the difference was remarkable. Kasia took the time to slowly build trust and develop a genuine relationship with her. She created such a warm, caring and safe environment where Kira could develop at her own pace. Over time, we watched our shy little girl grow into a confident, independent and active child.
One of the things I have always appreciated is how much Kasia involves the children in. She regularly shares photos and updates throughout the day, and I am constantly surprised by the variety of activities, outings and experiences she creates for them. You can see how much thought and effort goes into making every day interesting and engaging.
I would happily recommend Kasia to any family, but especially to parents whose child may benefit from a smaller, more personal environment and a little extra attention while they settle and build their confidence. Kasia has played a very important part in helping Kira grow and bloom, and we will always be grateful for the care, patience and encouragement she has given her.

When we first came to see Chisi my son who is usually quite shy just went and started exploring. Chisi is extremely friendly and professional and I honestly couldn’t wish for a better childminder for my son.
He absolutely adores her and is so happy to go every morning. She also updates you on how your child’s day is going and if there is anything else that you need to know.
It is also extremely reassuring that she sends you a weekly recap of how your child is getting along.
So again would 100% recommend her if you want your little one to be in a safe and welcoming environment.

We have been so happy with the care our son has received over the past three years, since he was just 10 months old. Sammy is flexible, helpful and incredibly kind, which has given us peace of mind and confidence knowing he is in such caring hands.
We are very happy with how our son has developed over the years and have already recommended her to friends and neighbours, who are also using her setting. We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and reliable childminder.
Salvah was amazing from the moment we met her. I immediately felt that I could trust her with my children, especially my four-year-old. Although she was with us for only a short time, she made it truly memorable. She was kind, friendly and very attentive to my child’s needs.
Salwa travelled a long way to work with us and fulfilled the role wonderfully, which we really appreciated. She even helped with the dishes—such a thoughtful gesture that really stood out to me. Overall, we had an excellent experience with Salwa and would highly recommend her.

Louisa & Eric make a great duo. My child has been attending their setting for 2 years, from 1 years old, and they provide such a nurturing home-from-home environment. Every day there are fun activities and outings and my child even asks to go there at the weekend! I appreciate that they were both cooks, so he is fed well, and the setting is clean and homely, with a great shaded garden for hot days. Very pleased we found them.
Unfortunately, I found my experience with this childcare provider very disappointing. I was recommended her and contacted her to discuss my childcare needs, including the specific days and times I required support. We discussed what she could offer, and she said she would meet with us to discuss everything further, so we waited for this.
She later told me she would not be available from September due to a holiday, but would be available from October, which we were happy with. This was particularly important as I am postpartum and due to return to university in October, so I was relying on having childcare arranged in advance.
After waiting and believing we were moving forward, I was then told at the last minute that she had decided to take on another family, as their requirements suited her flexibility better, and that she was only available to us for one morning. I completely understand that childcare providers may choose arrangements that work best for them, but I feel it is unfair to lead families on when you are still waiting to meet other families and decide which arrangement suits you best.
If she was considering other options, this should have been communicated honestly from the beginning, allowing us to continue looking for alternatives rather than waiting and believing we had something arranged.
Being left to find alternative childcare at short notice has caused unnecessary stress, particularly as I am postpartum and preparing to return to university. Overall, I feel we were let down and that the situation could have been handled with much better communication and consideration.
Our daughter has spent just under two years with Petra, from 10 months to 2 years 7 months.
In that time, our daughter has absolutely flourished, growing in physical strength and confidence, finding her voice, developing a broad vocabulary, a solid understanding of relationships, feelings and boundaries, and an evident interest in reading, numbers, shapes and learning. And more importantly she has been happy and excited to see Petra and her friends every morning we’ve been.
Petra’s care, knowledge and communication have been second to none, and her setting has felt like a home from home. We have had total confidence in Petra from the start, knowing that our daughter is understood and looked after, and that we will receive all the information we need about her day.
We are so grateful to Petra for everything she has done for our daughter over the last two years, and truly couldn’t have asked for more.
We have a 10-month old and were visiting the UK for the summer. Jen spent approximately a month with us, and since day 1 she managed to connect with the baby and build a connection. She quickly got accustomed to the way we like things being done, and got acclaimed with all our gadgets and tools. She took care of everything related to our little one, from his clothes, pacifiers / bottles, feeding, and more. She was extremely flexible as well with us, as on some days we’d go out to London or Windsor, and would spend more time than anticipated, she was always accommodating and always had let us know ahead of time if she has any prior arrangements.
Highly recommend Jen to anybody looking for a nanny, she knows her stuff and has got a wonderful personality !
My daughter has been with Gemma since April 2026 and is thriving. She started at 11 months and her eating and physical development has really come on since being with Gemma.
The best thing about Gemma is she really loves the children she cares for and they are so well nurtured in her setting.
Gemma takes her out on lots of different outings and structures the days at home really well to ensure they are getting lots of different types of stimulation and development opportunities.
Plus her communication is excellent - seeing her updates pop up on my phone whilst I’m at work with lots of gorgeous photos helps me feel much better about being back at work.
I couldn’t recommend her more

My little boy absolutely loves it here! Staff are so kind and you can tell they really put their all into it. You are always kept informed throughout the day which puts your mind at ease and the lengths they all go to ensuring little ones are happy and excited to go is amazing. So glad I chose Bumblebees 🐝🖤

My oldest started with Nelly in August 2022 when he was just 9 months old, and I will always speak highly of the care and support she has given our family. Nelly has been exceptional with both of my children, and we are incredibly grateful for the role she has played in their development.
My oldest developed a genuine love of reading in her setting and now reads above his age level. Nelly has also been instrumental in helping both children become confident, expressive and respectful.
My youngest was initially shy, and Nelly supported him so gently as he began to come out of his shell. She never pressured him or tried to rush the process. Instead, she gave him the space, encouragement and reassurance he needed to build his confidence at his own pace.
She regularly takes them on outings, introduces them to new experiences and encourages them to explore their interests and abilities. What I particularly appreciate is the way she allows each child to develop as an individual while still teaching them kindness, confidence and respect for others.
She has had such a positive influence on our children, and we are very grateful for everything she has done for them. We would recommend Nelly without hesitation to any family looking for someone who will genuinely care for, encourage and invest in their children. She will always have our highest recommendation.
We cannot recommend Maninder and Marvellous Minds highly enough. Our daughter was with Maninder from 11 months old until she was two and a half, and it truly became a home away from home for her. From the very beginning, it was obvious how much love, care and thought Maninder puts into every child. Our daughter absolutely adored going each day, formed wonderful friendships, and always came home happy, curious and full of stories about her adventures.
The progress she made during her time with Maninder was remarkable. She flourished socially, emotionally and intellectually, developing into a kind, confident, inquisitive little girl with a real love of books, nature and learning. We always felt she was being encouraged as an individual while receiving the warmth and security every young child needs. As parents, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is loved and thriving, and that’s exactly what Maninder and her wonderful family gave us. We only wish we could have sent our son there too, but sadly we moved out of East Dulwich. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything Maninder did for our family.

I took my son to Shaista when he was only six months old, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. Shaista is incredibly loving, caring and nurturing, and she provides such a warm and welcoming environment for children.
My son developed a lovely bond with her very quickly, and now he is the happiest little boy whenever I take him there. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that he is happy, safe and so well cared for.
I cannot recommend Shaista highly enough. She is truly wonderful at what she does, and I feel very lucky to have found her.
Shree renders top-tier childcare. She's cool, calm and highly professional. Our child has been with her since he was about six months old (he sees her as his second mum). He's almost 5 years old now and starting school next month (September). The experience as a whole has been absolutely wonderful. I have never met anyone as peaceful, patient and flexible as this childminder. Her support team (mum, husband and grown-up children) are also very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Together, they have provided a safe, clean and incredibly welcoming environment for our child all these years. They have also maintained an excellent balance of fun, structured outdoor outings and educational activities for him, and we are very grateful. If you are looking for a registered childminder who treats children like family, while maintaining highest professional standards, look no further!
