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.
Chloe at CFH Childcare has been absolutely wonderful for our little boy. She took great care to help him settle in with plenty of stay‑and‑play sessions, and we felt instantly at ease in her warm, welcoming setting.
He enjoys a wide range of activities every day — from messy play and small‑world setups to seasonal, age‑appropriate learning and regular outings. Since starting, he’s grown so much in confidence, speech, social skills, and curiosity.
Chloe provides a safe, nurturing environment where children are truly cared for. We’re kept well‑informed throughout the day, and the evening handovers are always thorough. Our child loves the home‑cooked meals and has even become more adventurous with food.
The bond between Chloe and our little boy is clear, and he’s excited to go every morning. We love the photos and updates she sends — it’s lovely to see what he’s been up to.
We highly recommend CFH Childcare for anyone looking for a caring, engaging, and thoughtful childminder.

Kerreyanne and her team are one of a kind. Before we met I was so anxious about leaving my daughter but from the minute we walked through that door my daughter felt safe it was like a home from home! My son has always struggled with his eating kerreyane and the team have had so much patience with my son that he now eats full meals!
We are so happy with the care our children receive. They are always happy, safe, and well settled, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. The communication is excellent – we’re always kept up to date with how the children are doing and what they’ve been up to, when they’ve been changed it really helps to settle that mum guilt!
What really stands out is how much effort goes into making the setting fun and special for the children. Different events and celebrations are organised throughout the year, which the children absolutely love. Things like hiring bouncy castles and even ice cream vans make it really exciting and create lovely memories for them.
It’s clear that a lot of care, thought, and effort goes into creating such a positive environment. We’re really grateful and would highly recommend the setting to other parents. We would be truly lost without someone like kerreyanne thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for our children!
We’ve been with kerreyanne 5 years now and there is none one else I would rather choose! Thank you again x
Our daughter started with Claire at 18 months old. Initially, we were quite worried, as she had only ever been cared for by family and was going through a very clingy phase. However, she quickly warmed to Claire and within just two weeks she was cheering at the sight of her house in the mornings. Three months in, she walks in as if it’s her own home—always happy to be there and still greeting us with the same big smile at pick-up time.
Receiving photos of our daughter enjoying playgroups, walks, and trips to the park (when the weather allows!) really makes our day.
As an anxious first-time mum, it’s naturally difficult leaving your baby with someone new, but I have never once felt worried with Claire. She always keeps us informed if our daughter isn’t quite herself or if there’s anything that needs our attention—it really feels like having a third parent supporting her.
Claire’s home is always very clean and welcoming, and it’s perfectly set up for the children.
I would highly recommend Claire, and if our family expands in the future, we would absolutely go back to her again.
Our son started with Bernadette when he was 9 months old. He loves going to her house and looks forward to seeing her warm welcome every morning. He is absolutely thriving under the caring and nurturing support Bernadette provides. He loves interacting with the other children, they are always so busy doing lots of different activities like arts and crafts, singing, stories, dancing, baking and going to the park. We love our daily updates from Bernadette and photos and videos of what he’s been up to in the day! We feel very lucky to have found such a great childminder for our son!
Freya was great from the start!! From initial messaging to discuss my needs in more depth, to meeting Freya and her providing all documents and answers to any questions I had. Then meeting my children to introduce them to support their transitional needs. Freya has been thoroughly professional and lovely throughout. My boys loved her and although my circumstances changed last minute, Freya has remained lovely and totally understanding. On top of this she is a really lovely, kind personality who I am grateful to have met. Will definitely book her again !!x
Francesca has been an absolutely amazing nanny for our family. She has been incredible with my young son for several years and since the arrival of my newborn baby she has continued to be just as caring patient and supportive.
She is naturally wonderful with children. She is calm, kind and very nurturing. My son absolutely adores her and is always so happy and comfortable in her care which gives me complete peace of mind. Francesca is also very respectful of our routines and always makes sure the children stick to them, which has been so important especially with a newborn.
She consistently goes above and beyond to help in any way she can and truly treats the children with so much love and care. She is reliable, trustworthy and someone I feel completely confident leaving my children with and become a very close part our family.
Having someone you can fully trust with your children is priceless and Francesca has been exactly that for our family. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, responsible and dedicated nanny or babysitter.
I would highly recommend Beth. She has looked after my 3 grandchildren since they were very small and they have all been so happy with her. They do so many different activities and every day is new and exciting for them. They have learnt so much and have gained so much confidence over their early years which has made the transition into school very easy for them. They have all loved their time with Beth and love her family as their own.
I am pleased to provide a reference for Nancy Allwright, who has cared for my three children for the past seven years, precisely since September 2018.
Nancy is genuinely caring and dedicated to her job, making her an asset to any family. She is flexible, supportive, and always makes sure the children are picked up on time and properly looked after. She pays close attention to their well-being and keeps me informed, which I really appreciate.
My children enjoy their time with Nancy, and I have full confidence in recommending her to others. She has made a real difference for our family, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
Nancy has been looking after my son, Theodore, since he was 2 years old; he is now 6 years old. He is ready to take on his next year with a fantastic foundation thanks to Nancy's care. Nancy is an absolutely brilliant childminder - trustworthy, kind and deeply caring. She has been a constant and nurturing presence in Theodore's life, and we have always felt confident and at ease knowing he is in her care. Over the years, she has played an important role in Theodore's development. Teaching him so much along the way- this shows by his mannerisms and knowledge he presents every day.
From hitting key milestones to learning important social and practical skills, Nancy has been there every step of the way. Her patience, warmth, and dedication to caring for our son have such a positive impact on Theodore. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for my family.
Kerreyanne has been an absolute blessing in our lives and was, without a doubt, my first truly trusted childminder. My son had a difficult time settling with anyone before her—he simply refused to feel comfortable. But from the moment he was with Kerreyanne everything changed. He felt safe, secure, and truly at home.
Kerreyanne went above and beyond to help my son with his sensory food issues—something he was extremely resistant to at home or with anyone else. Thanks to her incredible patience and creative approach, he began to try new foods—something I never thought possible. Alongside that, she worked wonders with his separation anxiety. Where it was once overwhelming for him, he now walks into her home eager and excited.
What truly sets Kerreyanne apart is her boundless patience and all the extra effort she pours into every day. From sensory play to messy play, she gave him a world of exploration. She organized outings, gave him new experiences, and even planned special events like a Christmas party and summer holidays—every detail filled with love and care. I can’t recommend her enough. Kerreyanne is a rare gem, and I am forever grateful for the positive impact she’s had on our family.”

My son came to Alisha when he was about 18 months old, he was a very shy little boy who had never been away from me and when Alisha became his childminder we noticed a huge difference in his confidence and in his eating, she was always communicating on how well he was doing and always gave support when it was necessary. I cannot thank Alisha enough for seeing so much in my son and helping him blossom. Even after a year later my son still asks a when are we going to lisha’s house. Thank you!! Xox

Tessa is an absolute gem! She took wonderful care of my daughter when I was out for an evening, and I couldn't have asked for more. She had great communication leading up to the babysitting session, kept me updated during the sit, and followed our usual routine. Best of all, my daughter adored her - she immediately took to Tessa and seemed so happy and comfortable with her, which made the handover very smooth, and she has already asked when she's coming back! Highly recommend to anyone in need of a kind, experienced and reliable babysitter.

Choosing a childminder was a really tough experience for me. So many out there, all promising the earth. We met Sarah and instantly knew she was the one. Sarah is kind, caring, loving but professional. She treats the children like they are her own family, and I felt such a sense of love that I knew she was the right choice for my 2 boys.
Sarah looked after my boys from age 1 up until they left last year to go to pre-school, they talk about her all the time. Sarah is flexible, she always did her best to support me (changing hours at work etc) and made the whole 'leaving your children with a stranger' less scary, she was a second Mum. Her children are caring and formed great relationships with my boys, just a second family, someone I really trusted. Updates everyday, celebrating milestones together, she's brilliant and I would whole heartedly recommend her. Sarah, we miss you very much, thank you for everything, for shaping the Lads and helping make them who they are today, confident, clever little lads ready to take on school! xx
I feel that I can say with certainty that we could not have found anyone better than Emma.
I have sat here for a while trying to start this review and think of what Emma does best, but truly I think she does all of it outstandingly. Emma is very reliable and in the 3 years of being with Emma not once has she left us hanging at short notice, if at all. Emma's home is extremely clean and tidy with tonnes of fun and educational toys which are always being updated. They also spend a lot of time outside, come rain or shine, which I really think is important for children; and I have to say, my children never come home messy!
Emma's food is always praised by my daughter, and Emma has managed to get her eating things that blow my mind; "mummy, my favourite lunch is sardines on toast" - can you imagine!!! And on pick up I always get a full menu run down which makes my mouth water!
It's really clear that Emma nurtures a lovely relationship between the children too which by virtue permeates through to the parents. I really love the little community of us parents that Emma has built because as we all know it starts at home. On days when my girls are not with Emma, I regularly see her in action at a playgroup, and I can confirm she really is super woman.
My daughters communication and vocabulary as well as all the marquee and milestone events through those important early years (such as fine and gross motor skills etc etc) have been undoubtedly improved from Emma's input. Emma has the patience of a saint and really stuck by us with potty training which I was so grateful for.
When we were initially looking for a childminder, we were looking for almost an extension to our family unit as we don't have our families nearby, and Emma has absolutely met that brief. She has been so kind and helpful to us and I don't think we could have got through some of our trials without Emma's support when it comes to our girls; even if we haven't had to utilise it, its been a huge peace of mind. I trust Emma wholeheartedly, and upon dropping off I always walk away knowing that my children are safe and happy.
If Emma didn't already do enough, she makes events throughout the year extra special, including Halloween and Christmas. Those are events I really look forward to at Emma's regardless of my children!! She breeds a lovely sense of community which I think is very important for children to see.
On a personal level, I also really enjoy Emma's company. She is very personable, easy to talk to and a cracking sense of humour; which I think is really important as discussing childcare and development can be tricky, and it never is with Emma.
It will be a sad day when both of my girls have gotten older and started school and we won't see Emma any more; I'm wondering if she could look after me!
I could go on and on and I would be very happy to speak directly to any prospective parents if they have any questions, as you really are getting the very best.

Our son has been cared for by Bianca after school since September 2025. He bonded with her immediately and absolutely loves spending time at her home — he’s constantly asking when he can go back! They spend plenty of time outdoors, and he always enjoys the delicious meals she prepares. In fact, he’s even asked if Bianca could come to our house to cook because he likes her food so much!
Bianca is gentle, kind, and incredibly easy to communicate with. We trust her completely and wholeheartedly recommend her.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a more caring and wonderful place for our son. From the moment he started, it was clear how much love, patience, and dedication goes into looking after the children at Cheeky Cherubs. Our son has grown so much in confidence and happiness, and he absolutely loves going each day. Knowing he is in such a warm, safe, and nurturing environment gives us complete peace of mind as parents. It really feels like a home away from home for him.
Everyday is different for our little one , there’s always fun , educational activities planned and Krishna is always so attentive to what my son requires.( Krishna also offers a halal meal which is quite hard to find in other nurseries/settings.)
We are so grateful for the kindness, support, and genuine care shown to our little boy. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Krishna I would not change it in any way. We couldn’t recommend this setting more highly.
5 stars!!!!
Beth has been an absolutely fantastic childminder for our children. Her home is beautiful and provides such a warm, welcoming environment that truly feels like a home from home. She creates a brilliant balance of open-ended play and thoughtful learning, often planning weekly themes around the seasons or events like World Book Day and Easter, as well as her own ideas like “Space” “The Ocean” or “People who help us”, which keeps things fun and engaging for the children. We also really appreciate the regular photos and updates showing what they’ve been up to during the day. The children often go out on trips to parks, garden centres and other local places and they always come home happy with plenty of stories to tell. Beth’s background as an early years teacher really shines through in the way she naturally weaves learning and new skills into everyday activities. Her own children are also wonderful with ours, which adds to that extended family feel. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Zahra has been a great help in caring for my baby girl while I returned to work following Mat leave. She looked after her exactly the way I would, kept her fed and also helped in her development. Most of the time I didn’t even have to tell her what to do and she would take the initiative herself. She has been like a family and truly Godsend. Cannot recommend more.
