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 Confirmed the booking for childminding yesterday and time and date and pickup location was all agreed we. With the childminder.
The childminder sent a message today at 1pm to ask if still on which I only saw around 3pm due to being away from internet connection at work.
So the childminder decided not to attend even though everything was confirmed yesterday price and times all agreed
This is very unprofessional and has cost me to loose money due to her not attending
Very disappointed
We are so grateful to have found Ellaine. She has provided such a warm, nurturing, and personalised approach to caring for our son, Dylan, always understanding what he needed as he grew.
The positive change in Dylan has been amazing—he has become so much more confident, independent, and mature. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave us complete peace of mind.
We have been so happy with Ellaine that we will be sending our second son, Alex, to her as well. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
We could not be happier with Cookie Maison. Our son spent a year there and would have stayed longer if we weren’t moving away from the area for my work. Donna and her team were amazing from first to last and we cannot recommend them highly enough. When our son struggled to settle they were patient, kind, and wise in their approach to helping him settle, and as first time parents they really put our minds at rest.

Yashwini is now a teenager, but let us roll back to 2011-2012. We found Jean through Childcare.co.uk when all three parties, Childcare.co.uk, Jean, and ourselves, were in their infancy in one way or another.
We would like to start with a huge thank you to Jean (and her family) for welcoming Yashwini as one of their own family member. Jean helped our daughter grow, develop, thrive, and express herself, even during those very early years of her life. We often refer to guardian angels as being reserved for a select few, and Jean was certainly ours during that time. Her outstanding care helped our daughter and our family so much that, even after all these years, we can still say that Jean will always remain our daughter's Guardian Angel (capitalised for a reason).
Yashwini was born with a hip condition, and unfortunately, the doctors failed to detect the early signs. We had our suspicions, but it was only after Yashwini started attending Jean's setting at around the age of one that those suspicions became a reality. With her keen eye for detail, Jean confirmed that she could see signs of the condition in the way our daughter walked. The rest is history. Today, our daughter is fully cured, but not before enduring more than four difficult years of surgeries and treatment during her early childhood.
Throughout that challenging period, Jean was meticulous in caring for our daughter, providing her with everything she needed, including nutritious home-cooked meals. We thank Jean for her kindness, generosity, motherly nature, and, above all, her ability to notice those extra little details in children that help bring out the very best in them. Jean was so caring that she even visited our daughter during one of her surgeries.
We are writing this review after all these years because we had lost contact with Jean, but we did not want to miss this opportunity to share our gratitude.
Would we recommend Jean? More than 1,000%! She is exceptional, warm, and genuinely dedicated to the children in her care. Her current reviews clearly show how she has continued to grow as a childminder, both in experience and expertise. I could keep writing about Jean because she brings positivity to everything she does. May this continue for many years to come, allowing many more children and parents to benefit from her outstanding services.
Thank you, Jean.
Best wishes
Kartyk, Vimala & Yashwini.
We recently made the decision to pull our toddler out of nursery and came across Courtney’s advertisement. Communication was super easy and we set up a visit straight away! Our toddler has since started with Courtney 3 days a week and has settled in so seamlessly. We are updated regularly on what he is up to throughout the day, and he has been having so much fun! Our toddler is usually a little uncomfortable with strangers but Courtney has made him feel so comfortable and he is now excited to see what they are up to for the day. We would really recommend Courtney ❤️
Natalie is amazing and has been such a special person in our lives. She started looking after our 1 year old daughter who would jump out of my arms every morning when we arrive. Natalie's house is spotless, she makes all of her own home cooked meals and has a great outside space for the children to play. Her communication and kindness is above and beyond. We are so grateful for the loving experience she has created and are gutted to be leaving the area and Natalie. She is an angel and we would highly recommend her services.
Echo all 2026 reviews here.
We reviewed numerous options circa 2023/2024 for Richmond/Kew/Margate/East Twickenham area for all care for ages 1-4 years; we're so glad we found Pegah and Mehdi.
We really appreciate Pegah and Mehdi's tireless efforts and their smart approach; they make the most of West London and the setting itself is very practical across the board (e.g. handy buggy parking, quiet side-road, lovely back garden area, airconditioned spaces inside).
Current 2026 cohort of children is great too, very glad to have such lovely kids.
We knew from the first time we met Chérie that she was the perfect person to look after our little one when I went back to work. Our daughter started with Chérie at just 9 months old and has now just turned 2.
Chérie is so caring, kind and patient, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for the children. She does lots of lovely, fun and educational activities, and we’ve seen such a big difference in our daughter’s development since being with her.
We feel so lucky to have found Chérie and couldn’t ask for a better person to look after our daughter, it really feels like home from home. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. ❤️
We could not be happier with the care our son receives here. He absolutely loves going to Nita and Lou’s house and is always excited to see what the day will bring. Nita and Lou clearly know each child incredibly well and have built strong, nurturing relationships with them.
The activities they do each day are thoughtfully planned, often around engaging themes that support the children's development and learning. The set up for the children is wonderful, with a beautifully organised room full of high-quality resources and a fabulous garden that the children make great use of. Our son especially loves the huge mud kitchen and often talks about it at home.
There are so many enriching experiences on offer, from growing and trying different foods to encouraging independence in everyday tasks. The children are regularly taken on outings to a variety of places, including libraries, parks, wildflower meadows, Murton Park and even local primary school events. Nita and Lou also meet up with other childminders which provides fantastic opportunities to build relationships and develop social skills with a wider group of children.
The routines they have are exceptionally well organised, helping all of the children feel secure and settled.
It is clear that all of the children love being here. Our son is never in a hurry to leave at pick-up time—in fact, he often runs back inside to carry on playing! Even on the weekend he will ask if it’s a day to go to Nita and Lou’s house. As parents, it is great to go to work knowing not only that our son is being cared for so well but that he is genuinely happy, thriving and learning every day.
Thank you for providing such a caring, stimulating and nurturing environment Nita and Lou, I would highly recommend you to all families.
We couldn’t be happier with Nina.
Our little boy started with her at just 9 months old and she made what was an anxious time for us so much easier.
She is so reassuring and caring and it’s clear how much she genuinely looks after and cares for the children.
Our little boy always has the biggest smile on his face when he sees her, which says it all! We also really appreciate the regular WhatsApp updates and photos throughout the day, which gives us peace of mind and lets us see all the fun he’s having.
We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy childminder.
My son, was enrolled with Sarah Sotiriou as his childminder as of 04/26. He was one year old then. Sarah's place was clean, well presented & had good outdoor space. She also came across as professional but warm. During our initial conversation, Sarah suggested an introductory week so he would get acclimatised to the setting & this helped put me at ease. Sarah also dealt with our complicated family situation with grace. Since then Sarah's place has become a place of comfort for him. It was clear to me he was safe and well taken care of. To do so with a child a big, strong and energetic is no small feat. However, more so I valued the genuine relationships he developed with the childminders there. I don't think there is anything that could have put me more at ease than seeing how the childminders interacted with him. The relationships & warmth they had for him was clear and obvious. Sarah also made herself available regarding advice, and often went above & beyond what I expected. I felt lucky to have found them, and would recommend them to anyone with kids who is looking for a childminder.
Halima is truly the best childminder we could have asked for.
She is incredibly patient and caring, especially when my son is feeling cranky or upset. She always comforts him with kindness and never loses her patience, which gives me so much peace of mind.
Her warm hospitality, cheerful personality, and genuine love for children make it so easy to leave my son in her care. I always know he is in safe and loving hands.
And I have to mention her cooking—it is absolutely delicious! The meals she prepares are amazing, and it’s clear how much care and effort she puts into everything she does.
We feel so lucky to have found Halima, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, loving, and exceptional childminder.

In my opinion, Tareen is a very good, hardworking, flexible, and motherly teacher. Tareen has all the qualities of a motherly teacher.
When my daughter Irha first went to Tareen, she was very conscious, but she trained her very well. I always believe in her. She is so capable.
Tareen didn’t just give Irha motherly love, but she also helped her grow at all the different stages of development that children go through.
We have a lot of belief in Tareen. She is such a beautiful and reliable person for childminding. We trust her a lot. We will always choose Tareen for Irha.
In my review, she is the best childminder in Burnage, especially for grooming and transforming a child’s personality according to the new environment.
Tareen also makes the children do a lot of activities which are very new, and the children like Irha get a great opportunity to learn.
Even now, a lot of the time my weekend baby Irha misses Tareen a lot. She wants to go there.
So she is the best.
I was very anxious about leaving my little one, but as soon as we met Cherie we knew she was perfect. Cherie is amazing ! so caring and loving. My daughter loves her time with Cherie and has lots of fun. We get regular updates and photos which is a lovely. Cherie made time to reassure me over the first few weeks when my daughter was settling in and even still now if she is having a little off day. We have been with Cherie now since April 2026 and I would say nothing but outstanding. I choose Cherie due to her exceptional reviews and I would 100 % recommend her services to other parents. 😊
Anya has been looking after our 2.5y toddler for a few times and we have been happy every time. Anya has been punctual and reliable, and she gets along with our child well. She has suggested activities and has come up with fun ideas what to do. We always get nice updates about their time together and communication has been easy. We recommend Anya if you need a great babysitter!
I can’t recommend Cherie enough! She is such a kind, caring, and amazing childminder. Since my son started with her, he’s developed so much in confidence and learning, and he’s always so happy when I pick him up.
It’s so reassuring knowing my child is happy, safe, and so well cared for. I know he’s in the best hands with Cherie, and I’m so grateful for everything she does xx
I honestly couldn't ask for a better childminder for my little boy. 💛 Going back to work after maternity leave was such a heart wrenching time, and I was filled with worry about leaving him. From day one, you made that transition so much easier with your constant updates, photos, and reassurance.
Knowing he gets so much love, care and ‘snuggies’ while we're at work means the world. It's so clear how happy, safe, and settled he is with you, and that gives me complete peace of mind every single day.
Thank you for loving and caring for him like one of your own. We are so grateful for everything you do. We couldn't recommend you enough! ❤️
I cannot thank Esther enough for everything she has done for my son and our family. She is an absolutely amazing person—kind, caring, patient, understanding, and incredibly supportive.
My son started at the nursery when he was just 8 months old, and he is now 4 years old and still happily attending. Esther has been with him every step of the way. She guided him through his first milestones, from his first steps and first words to feeding and developing his confidence.
She supported us through every stage, including bottles, milk, nappies, and saying goodbye to the pacifier. She was also so patient in helping my son learn to eat independently. He was a very picky eater and only wanted to feed himself, but Esther always encouraged him with kindness and never gave up.
Whenever my son was unwell, Esther showed him so much love and care. Knowing he was in such safe and nurturing hands gave me great peace of mind.
Every year, Esther has helped us celebrate my son's birthday at the nursery. She always goes above and beyond with beautiful decorations, fun activities, and lovely photos. Seeing those special memories displayed in frames makes me emotional and so grateful.
The nursery provides wonderful creative activities every day, including learning numbers and letters, games, dancing, arts and crafts, and outdoor trips to the playground. My son absolutely loves it. He comes home every day saying, "Auntie Esther taught me this," or "Ms Esther showed me that." It makes me so happy to see how much he enjoys learning and how much he admires her.
Esther is truly exceptional. She has a natural talent for working with children, and her dedication, warmth, and passion shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Esther, for helping my son grow into such a happy, confident, and caring little boy. We are so grateful for everything you have done, and we will always appreciate the love and care you have shown our
