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.
We could not be happier with the care Claire offers. Our little boy has been thriving since starting child care here and he loves going there and it makes going to work easier knowing he is having fun. Every day Claire takes them out, does different activities and is so caring and attentive with Lorenzo.
I love that Claire challenges Lorenzo and it's really helped him develop with his speech and skills in general. The daily updates/photos from Claire makes my day.
The space is exactly how described, it is home from home. It is clean, plenty of space indoor and outdoor to play and there are loads of toys.
We could not be happier and would highly recommend Claire. From the first settling in session, Lorenzo was so comfortable at Claire's and it was lovely to see him at ease. I love that is a smaller group and I feel this suits our little one. Also every time we now pick Lorenzo up he never wants to leave, which again shows me how much he loves it at Claire's.

Aida has been an absolute gem for our family. From the very beginning, she built a natural and trusting connection with our baby, bringing a calm, warm, and attentive presence that immediately put us at ease. She is incredibly reliable, punctual, and thoughtful in the way she approaches childcare.
Aida is not only caring and patient, but also very engaged, she takes the time to interact, play, and support development in a gentle and nurturing way. She is intuitive to our baby’s needs and handles everything with confidence and kindness, even in more challenging moments.
We fully trust her and always feel comfortable leaving our child in her care, which says everything. Any family would be lucky to have Aida.

Alexa is teaching our daughter (3 and a half) music and violin. She makes them fun and engaging. She has also babysat for us (1+3yo) and she was great, instantly getting both girls attention and playing with them, doing crafts and activities and putting them to bed. She is someone with lots of understanding about children and how they behave, she is very creative and has plenty of initiative which is greatly appreciated. We really recommend her!
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Nagina as our nanny. She has been looking after our children for over a month now, and she has been absolutely brilliant from the very start.
Our children are completely comfortable with her, which speaks volumes about her warm and caring nature. She has a natural ability to engage with them, play with them, and ensure they are happy and well looked after at all times. Knowing they are in such capable hands gives us complete peace of mind and allows me to focus on my work without worry.
Nagina goes above and beyond her role. Not only does she take exceptional care of the children, but she also helps around the house and keeps everything clean and organised. She truly looks after the whole family, not just the kids.
We are extremely grateful for her dedication, reliability, and kindness. She has made a meaningful difference in our daily lives, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my daughter has received since starting in January. From day one, she settled in straight away.
Nad provides lovely home-cooked meals and always takes great care to cater for my daughter’s allergies, which gives me real peace of mind. She’s also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which makes a huge difference for our family as my job start date has been pushed back a couple months.
It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and nurturing environment.
My 20 month older daughter absolutely flourishes during her stay at Korins Tiny Tots. I love the home environment, it made settling her in that bit smoother. She loves the outdoor garden space available, with soft artificial grass, this is super toddler friendly and makes play that bit cleaner. Korin has such a variety of educational toys, blended with home comforts. It makes for such a great learning environment and feels like home. Thank you for all you do Korin!
Beth always provides such a welcoming environment for my daughter, she is so understanding of the children’s needs and accommodates wherever possible. Beth always provides lovely activities and really helped my daughter develop key skills. We loved that it was in a home setting as this was really important to us, and helped our daughter settle so well. A really lovely environment for the children and peace of mind for us as we know she will always have a fabulous time!
What can I say? Lu has been a phenomenal addition to our home and family. Not only has she supported our daughter’s development in remarkable ways, but she has also helped me find my confidence as a first-time mum, giving me the courage to navigate an entirely new chapter.
Watching our daughter’s face light up every day when Lu arrived was nothing short of magical. Lu joined us when our daughter was just six months old, at the point when I returned to work. In a very short space of time, she helped her progress from early developmental stages to sitting unsupported, supported standing, and engaging in structured, purposeful play. Lu positive influence is evident every day in the milestones we’re lucky enough to witness, as well as in the happiness she brings.
From day one, Lu seamlessly became part of our home, integrating naturally into our family dynamic. She is incredibly open and collaborative in her communication, always ensuring we can make decisions together—whether that’s navigating sleep regressions, managing teething, or introducing allergens into our daughter’s diet. Her support has been invaluable, and it’s genuinely difficult to find any area where she hasn’t exceeded expectations.
Lu shared daily updates about their time together, often including photos, which meant we never felt like we were missing out. Her communication and ability to put me at ease made all the difference in my return to work, enabling a smooth transition from maternity leave to full-time working mother.
Lu’s passion for childcare shines through in everything she does. She will be greatly missed, but I have no doubt she will be an incredible asset to any family she works with in the future.
Thank you, Lu, for being such an important part of the beginning of our daughter’s journey—we will be forever grateful.
We had an amazing experience with this Oak Glen and couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. From the very beginning, it was clear how dedicated and passionate they are about what they do. They looked after our son incredibly well, and he was always happy, settled, and excited to go each day, which gave us great peace of mind.
We always felt comfortable speaking to them and communication was open, honest, and supportive. They were always willing to listen and work together to find the best approach for our son.
Katie, Danielle, and the rest of the team truly stand out. They consistently showed genuine care, love, and attention, treating our son as an individual. What really impressed us was their ability to remember the small but important details about him, which meant a lot to us as parents.
They were also extremely flexible with timings, which was incredibly helpful for our schedule. They were able to accommodate additional last-minute days when we needed childcare, and this level of support was invaluable.
Overall, we would highly recommend this Oak Glen to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and reliable environment for their child.
We are very grateful for everything they’ve done for my son and our family.
Natasha is a very kind and caring childminder. She is very reliable. My son thinks the world of her and when I asked him what the best part of his day was, his answer was “playing at Natasha’s house”
Kathleen and her husband have been looking after our third child between the ages of 2 and 3. I had high expectations from her 5* reviews and she has more than exceeded them.
Our daughter settled very quickly and always looked forward to her days at Kathleen. She enjoyed seeing her friends, and going to the playgroups, trips to the park, the library and doing seasonal arts and crafts which were a delight to see. The meals the children received are always varied and nutritious. Kathleen herself is warm, kind, and calm with such a natural way around the children. It is evident she is really passionate about her work.
Kathleen’s place is immaculate. She is exceptionally well organised. Communication is prompt and easy. She has been very pragmatic and flexible to changes in routine, for example with changing nap times, illness or potty training.
Kathleen is multilingual, and it was such a bonus to have her immerse our daughter in Mandarin. So impressive to watch her switch between French, Cantonese and Mandarin when she speaks to the children! We genuinely think our daughter has had the best start and it’s really testament to Kathleen’s brilliant care. We cannot recommend her enough and it is with great sadness that our daughter is moving onto nursery. We will miss Kathleen and her family.

If you are looking for someone who will treat your children like their own while bringing a sense of calm and joy into your home, look no further than Abby.
Abby has been working with my boys, and I can honestly say she has become an indispensable part of our family. She has a natural, gentle way with them that is rare to find; she manages their energy with patience, creativity, and genuine kindness. My boys absolutely adore her, and for the first time, I have total peace of mind when I’m away, knowing they are in such capable and loving hands.
One of the biggest highlights of having Abby with us—and something we truly didn't expect—is that she is an absolutely amazing cook. She prepares nutritious, delicious, and varied dishes that even my picky eaters love. Coming home to happy, well-fed children and the smell of a home-cooked meal has been a complete game-changer for our family dynamic.
Abby is professional, reliable, and has a heart of gold. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!
Farida has looked after my children for over 4 years. She made me feel very welcome in to her home and family and treated my children like her own. They have loved their time with her and she has encouraged them to learn and grow in all aspects. Farida helped look after my son from 10 months old and my daughter from 2 years old. They have spent alot of time with her and her family and are very comfortable in her home setting. They are now 4 and 6 and we now think of Farida as a family member. She is very kind and thoughtful in everything she does. Having Farida helped me put my mind at rest when having to leave them for work knowing they would be cared for very well. She assisted my children with toilet training, getting rid of their dummies, social skills and learning, trying new foods, and so much more. They love Farida and I am so very grateful to her for what she has done for us over the years.

Adele has looked after both of my children. She goes above and beyond and prior to herself on the care for my little one. My little girl adores Adele and I feel very safe and comforted knowing my daughter is in her care. Is clean and tidy and homely, ensuring that the children in her care go on trips and out frequently out. The food she makes from scratch. I couldn’t ask for anyone better to be caring for my daughter whilst I work. Adele has been absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for always making my little one happy and secure.
Sheila is kind, patient, and has taken great care of our baby boy while we are trying to get his eczema under control. She has been very helpful in recommending ways to minimize his scratching and discomfort at night as well as giving us some time to recover after weeks of limited sleep.
Chloe joined us in September 2023 and quickly became part of our family. Simply put, we have all had the most brilliant three years and are very sad that our time together is coming to an end.
When Chloe started, our son was just over 8 months old and our daughter was about to turn three. Time has flown and we will soon no longer need a full-time nanny.
Starting with the professional, Chloe is:
* Extremely punctual and reliable,
* An excellent communicator,
* Adept at modelling parenting style,
* Socially thoughtful, supporting our children to build a wide network of friends
* Creative and energetic, seeking out a broad range of sporting and cultural activities for the children
Turning to the personal, Chloe is:
* A ray of sunshine,
* Thoughtful and considerate,
* Respectful of boundaries
Our children love Chloe desperately and will miss her enormously. She has been an incredible support to us as parents and a true team player – we could not recommend her more highly.

Both of our boys started with Catherine when they were just over one year old and stayed with her until school age. We often hear other parents say that we have the best childminder in the area, and we know this to be true. We feel very lucky.
Our boys love Catherine. They are happy every day and always receive excellent care. She is loving, nurturing, gentle, kind, and calm.
Our boys also attend Talbot Nursery a few days a week to become familiar with the school environment, but they are more relaxed and be themselves when they are with Catherine. The children have opportunities to go out every day, whether it’s running around in the park, visiting Temple Newsam, Meanwood Farm, or going to local libraries. They all love these trips.
We are very grateful and thankful for the care you provide for our boys, Catherine.
Our son has been attending Cherished Cubs for 4 months and is absolutely thriving there. Each morning he is excited to go and never wants to leave. He is learning so many new skills every day and he settled in so well and so quickly due to the nurturing nature of the setting. We can’t thank you enough for looking after our son and providing him with such valuable experiences and learning.
