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.
Our daughter has been attending Saeeda's setting for a few months now. From the moment we met her we had a good feeling about her and our daughter has settled in very well with her. She is a great communicator and is very clear with everything our daughter does throughout the day. She provides lovely, engaging activities and takes the children on occasional outings to the park and local library. We feel very comfortable and happy with Saeeda as a childminder for our daughter.
We are so happy with the care Oskar receives. From the very beginning, he has been made to feel so welcome, safe and loved. He is always happy to go and comes home smiling, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in such caring hands.
We really appreciate the time, patience and attention given to him, as well as all the lovely activities and experiences he gets to enjoy. It’s wonderful to see how much he is growing in confidence and developing. We feel very lucky to have found such a kind, dedicated and trustworthy childminder and would highly recommend her to any family.❤️
My little one starts with Lesley when she just turn 6 months old, as a parent we worried and thought about our little one on how she’s been and all without us, Lesley updated us and we are delighted that our little one is doing great on her first day, and so the next day and forward, we know our little one is being loved and taken cared of because when we get her she has the biggest smile, and when we drop her off she just have the biggest smile seeing Lesley in the morning and i bet she cant wait being there during the day while mummy and daddy is at work. Our Little one learns waving goodbye with Lesley. Learns how to socialize, loves more outdoors ( as they always went for a walk specially when the weather is lovely) Lesley and Trevor are totally the blessing for us , we never had a tiny worry while our child is with them.
Reason for Leaving: we family decided to move up North to be closer to our little ones grandparents.

We honestly couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives from Eliza. She has been with Eliza since she was nine months old and is now just over two, and they have built such a lovely, strong bond.
What really stands out to us is her energy and enthusiasm. She gets genuinely excited about the activities she plans and takes so much pride in our daughter’s achievements and successes. You can really see how much she enjoys what she does and how much she cares about the children in her care.
As parents, one of the most important things to us is feeling completely comfortable and confident when we leave our daughter, and we genuinely feel that way. We know she is safe, happy and well cared for. If she is having a difficult day, Eliza is incredibly good at soothing her, understanding what she needs and quickly redirecting her.
Communication is also excellent. We are kept updated throughout the day about what they have been doing and how our daughter is getting on, and any concerns or issues are communicated clearly and appropriately. We also really appreciate how approachable and easy to reach she is, even outside of her usual working hours when needed. We have always felt that we can speak to her about anything.
We love the variety of experiences she gives our daughter. They are out and about every day, visiting parks, playgrounds, playgroups, museums, aquariums and so many other places. She has even taken her to places such as the Spinnaker Tower and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
There is always something new and exciting for her to experience, and we feel this has contributed so much to her confidence, development and curiosity.
We also feel very reassured by the way safeguarding is handled. Any marks or concerns are communicated to us properly, and we have complete confidence that our daughter’s wellbeing and safety are always taken seriously.
Ultimately, we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Our daughter clearly adores her, and we can see how happy and settled she is in her care. Knowing that we can leave our child with someone we trust completely is priceless, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, enthusiastic and genuinely committed childminder.
Karishma is an incredible nanny. My little girl loves to engage in pretend play & invite people into her own little world, & Karishma managed to engage her very well each & every time. She’s warm, playful, & attentive, & has a natural desire to help children with their early learning. So every now & then, a play session would gently evolve into practicing colours or reading. We can’t wait to have her again!

I'm extremely happy with how well my baby has settled into nursery. The staff have been so kind and reassuring from day 1. They immediately made us feel welcome and take great care in every aspect. The facilities are clean and well maintained, with a variety of toys and activities for babies. When settling in to nursery, they would reassure me and let me know how my baby was doing throughout the day. This has continued with daily detailed feedback. My baby is more confident around people and more independent at meal times as they have helped me on my weaning journey. I know I can speak to the manager about any worry and we can work together on my baby's care and development. I feel completely at ease knowing my baby is safe, happy and well looked after. We've had such a lovely experience, and I would personally recommend Alhudaa nursery to any parent. Ms Aisha and staff are working very hard. This is definitely an outstanding nursery, and I'm so glad I chose it for my baby!
I couldn’t not have asked for a better childcare service! Claudine and her team have been nothing but short of amazing. My daughter joined when she was 11 months old and left at the age of 3. It took her a while to settle in but Claudine and her team were very patient and my daughter absolutely loved her time there and frequently asks to visit. Everyone is friendly and attentive, I definitely felt that my daughter was nurtured and safe during her time here. The setting is clean and has an environment that feels like home. The children go on many fun trips, given healthy nutritious meals and are supported with their developmental milestones and learning. You can see that the staff here absolutely love and care for the children. Claudine engages with parents through regular updates along with hosting events such as Christmas parties and Sports day/graduation which are not to be missed. If I could have kept my daughter with CCS I would, as they have become such an essential part of my village. It takes a lot of trust to leave your child in the care of others and I truly felt secure and comfortable with CCS providing this care. Overall I would 10/10 recommend to anyone considering using CCS.
Sofia is amazing, very warm personality, clean house. She always have fresh cook food in with garden and activities for kids on any occasion. When sunny they are out and about playground too, my daughter made some good friendships there and memories. Very creative time, always recycle updates and photos what's they are up to, what they learn and how they spending time.Hightly recommend.
Finding the right person to care for my son was overwhelming, but working with mama mia has been an absolute dream. From day one, she created a warm, safe, and genuinely loving environment where my son feels completely at home.
Her setting is wonderfully engaging packed with creative crafts, outdoor play, and social activities that keep the children learning and smiling all day. What stands out most is her genuine warmth and patience,she truly treats every child like family and tunes in to their unique personality and needs.
The communication is fantastic, always providing thoughtful daily updates and photos that give us complete peace of mind while at work. Watching our little one thrive, build confidence, and jump for joy when arriving in the mornings says everything.
We couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, trustworthy, and wonderful childminder. If you are looking for top tier care where your child will be cherished and nurtured, look no further.
If you're a working parent searching for a nursery you can truly trust, look no further than Parent's Heart. Both our sons joined at 9 months old, and honestly, it's one of the best decisions we've made as a family. Being able to walk away each morning knowing they're safe, cared for, and genuinely happy has given us a peace of mind that's hard to put into words.
Our eldest recently started reception, walking in confident and settled straight into the classroom — already secure in his phonics, numbers, and reading, all nurtured over his years at Parent's Heart. Our younger son (2) is now following that same path, and it's a joy to watch him thrive there too.
The staff don't just care for our children — they partner with us. From supporting speech development and potty training, to sending weekly updates with photos, to daily lunch updates (hot meals every day!), they keep us close to every part of our children's day, even when work keeps us away.
We couldn't recommend Parent's Heart more highly. They've given our family something invaluable: the confidence that our children are thriving, and the reassurance every working parent hopes to find!
Aisha is such a lovely and caring childminder, and I feel very lucky to have found her. She is incredibly flexible and always goes above and beyond to help, even when I needed childcare at the last minute. This has given me so much peace of mind.
Her setting is beautiful, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together, with plenty for the children to enjoy. She also provides nutritious food, which I really appreciate. What stands out most, though, is how genuinely caring and attentive Aisha is. My son was happy to go to her and came home smiling.
I truly appreciate everything Aisha does, especially meeting my son's needs and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their child with.

I had a wonderful experience with Zainab. She was caring, responsible, patient, and very attentive to my son's needs. He was happy and comfortable throughout, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in safe hands. I would definitely recommend her babysitting services and would happily book again!

We have had such a wonderful experience with Christine and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she has been so warm, caring and welcoming, and we have always felt completely comfortable leaving Ezhil and Kayal in her care.
Kayal has settled in so well, and I really feel that Christine has supported her beautifully throughout the settling-in process. She has been patient, understanding and attentive to Kayal’s individual needs, which has made the transition so much easier for both Kayal and us as parents.
Communication with Christine has always been excellent. She keeps us updated throughout the day, shares how the children have been getting on, and is always happy to communicate with us if there is anything we need to discuss. We have always felt listened to and reassured, and we really appreciate the care and effort she puts into keeping us informed.
It is genuinely sad that we will be leaving, but unfortunately this is due to our family relocating. Otherwise, we would have been very happy to continue with Christine. She has been such an important part of the children’s routine, and we are very grateful for all the care, kindness and support she has given them.
I would highly recommend Christine to any family looking for a caring, reliable and supportive childminder. We have been very happy with the care she has provided and feel very lucky to have found her
Torie has been absolutely amazing with my three girls (8 years old and 2-year-old twins). My children love her and I do too! She has shown them so much patience, warmth and genuine care. They can certainly be quite a handful but Torie handled everything with such professionalism, calmness and kindness. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy nanny.
We consider ourselves so lucky to have found Fanny. She looked after our baby for 9 months and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. Fanny is kind, warm, patient, flexible and fun. She has great communication skills, her home is welcoming and filled with toys that our daughter enjoyed. Our daughter made tons of progress while going to Fanny's, she even learned to go to sleep by herself, which is huge. She absolutely loved going to Fanny's and still asks to see her all the time. I trusted Fanny just like she was family. Thank you so much Fanny. We will miss you!

As a first time mum I was hesitant of putting my daughter into nursery so I started exploring childminders and am so glad I found Lulu! My daughter started at 11 months old and has absolutely thrived. Lulu has shown an immense level of care and attention to all the children but especially for the new ones settling in. She updates me as regularly as I need and quickly made us all feel comfortable with the process as first time parents. Without a doubt having Lulu has made my return to work process alot less stressful, and I know everyday my daughter is having a great time there and even if she is feeling off, I already have so much trust they know exactly what to do. 1000% reccomend!
Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experience. I was not provided with written terms and conditions or made aware of a 24-hour cancellation policy when I started using the childcare service. This policy was only raised later when I requested money to be returned. I would strongly recommend that parents make sure they receive and understand all terms and cancellation policies in writing before using the service.

My daughter started with Carmen and Marta's at 12 months until 3 years old. Her little brother recently started there, aged 11 months. Carmen and Marta have been consistently excellent - providing warm, loving care built around the changing needs of our children and family.
We felt my daughter gained so much being there: new experiences and socialisation, but also strong relationships with the childminders. As a baby she was always cautious with strangers, so it was wonderful to see her quickly develop trust and affection for Carmen and Marta, and to see her needs met with such warmth and genuine concern for her wellbeing. Carmen and Marta have been consistently kind, patient and above all warm - helping us ride out tricky toddler patches with good humour and kindness, and supporting my daughter become the confident child she is today.
We really appreciate the small-but-not-too-small setting, which is a real strength. In particular:
- The presence of more than one childminder gives us confidence on reliability, but the small number of adults allows for consistency of care, and for the children to build really strong bonds and be known as an individual.
- It wasn't overwhelming for her as a baby, but there were several children to form a core social circle as she got older and started having friends rather than just companions - it's wonderful seeing my daughter head into her 'big school' nursery class holding the hands of her friends from C+M.
- There's really good, individual support on developmental milestones, for example around potty training. But also there were often other children at similar stages or just a little further ahead on the journey which means my daughter could also learn from her peers.
- The mix of ages (babies to 3 year olds) worked brilliantly. When she was a baby, my daughter loved having the big kids to play with, and when she graduated to being a 'big kid' herself, she learned to be kind and look out for the little ones in turn.
We also really valued the individualised support that responded so well to where we were as a family. This included things like support preparing my daughter for the arrival of her baby brother and for her eventual transition out of the setting, but also things like flexibility on our days as we managed the changing demands of pregnancy and a newborn, and kindness and understanding for us as parents as we navigated the milestone of leaving our baby for the first time.
We are so pleased our second child is now just starting his time there, so we will be part of the Carmen and Marta family for some time to come.
From the day we went to view their setting, we knew we had found the right place for our little girl. The warmth of the welcome, the calm, homely atmosphere and the obvious care they put into everything made it an easy decision. The planning and thoughtfulness that goes into each day's activities is amazing, and we can already see her developing beautifully in their care. She adores them both and is usually so excited at drop-off.
They made the transition from being at home to being in their care completely seamless. As a parent returning to work, I can't thank them enough for how much that put my mind at ease. Knowing she is so well looked after, cuddled when she needs it and encouraged when she's ready to explore, has made all the difference.
Andy and Irrah are wonderful at keeping us in the loop, with regular updates through the day, lots of photos and a detailed care diary. We feel involved in her day.
Her days are full of learning through play, fresh air, outdoor exploring and plenty of fun. Their routine shows real experience and works so well with the little ones.
What stands out most is how genuinely they care. She is treated as an individual, not just one of the children, and it shows in her confidence and how happy she is. They are professional, reliable and kind.
We are so grateful to have found them and would recommend them without hesitation. We feel incredibly lucky to have them looking after our little girl. Thank you both for everything you do.
