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.
Caterina is the most important member of the family . She had been with us for 7 years, of which 6 full time and 1 part-time now that the kids go to school. She has been a responsible and reliable and very loving nanny, almost a grandmother to our children. She is the best investment we have done for our kids , cooks well and has 4 grown up kids of her own ( of which 2 twins ) so she knows all kind of drills

Our son has been with Carol and Billy for nearly three years now, and we honestly cannot recommend them enough. From day one, their home has felt like a second home to him – warm, welcoming, and full of love and care.
What really sets Carol and Billy apart is how thoughtfully they plan activities and outings. They don’t just supervise the children; they actively engage with them, taking them out to different places and making every day fun and interesting. We’ve visited many childcare settings over the years, but the level of genuine love, patience, and understanding that Carol and Billy show towards the children is truly special.
Our son is always happy to go there, and as parents, we find that peace of mind priceless. Every morning when I drop our son off, I feel complete peace of mind – it’s just like leaving him with family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found them. If you’re looking for childminders who will treat your child like family, look no further.

Vivian has been with my kids and family since March this year, she's my 1st babysitter and yet on the very first day my baby warmed up to her and she's cared immensely for both my kids since. She's trustworthy, dependable and absolutely disciplined and teaches my kids the same qualities. My baby's is reaching her growth milestones so quickly and smoothly with her. Her respectful management of all activities and tasks around our schedule is really remarkable and she's extremely supportive.
I'm really thankful that we have her.
Thank you so much Vivian!
Bianca cared for our daughter from the age of 8 to 14 months and was fantastic throughout.
She was brilliant at keeping her engaged with a wide range of activities, including arts and crafts, messy play and taking her to stay&play and parks around our area. Bianca was also very helpful with naps and routines.
Personality-wise, Bianca is kind, patient, calm and was very good at communicating with us. She is also very experienced. As first-time parents, we particularly appreciated that she was always happy to share advice when asked, and was reliable - we were very worried about going back to full-time work, but Bianca made that process so much easier for us.
We would highly recommend her to any family, especially new parents looking for a caring, knowledgeable and dependable nanny.
My little boy has been going to Lucy for a year now and he absolutely loves it! Going back to work when he was 9 months old was difficult but Lucy made me feel like her home was a home from home and sent me pictures everyday and gave him cuddles all day. I couldn’t have gone back to work without Lucy. Her care is turning my little one into the most amazing child. Thank you xxx
Sarah was taking care of my 7 months baby for 3 days when I attended a summer school in Musselburgh. She was very reliable, skillful, honest, and respectful. She has a lot experience with babies and young children. She is also very adaptive and full of ideas to calm my baby when she kept crying. I am so grateful that my baby was being cared by such a lovely girl :) thank you so much Sarah. Highly recommended. I wish you a successful study and career ahead!! (note: for the food review, I prepared food by myself, but Sarah fed my baby well and tried several ways til my baby ate the provided food. She has experience making solid food for children too :)).

We were introduced to Aarthi through a friend's recommendation, and from our very first visit, we felt confident in choosing her setting. Her home is bright, welcoming, and provides excellent indoor and outdoor spaces for children to learn and play.
Aarthi is professional, caring, and genuinely treats every child as her own. She provides a structured routine, encourages independence at each child's pace, and ensures children receive a healthy, balanced diet.
Our daughter, Riya, joined Aarthi's setting at the age of two. She was initially quite shy, but within days she had settled in and was excited to attend. Under Aarthi's care, Riya developed confidence, independence, and many essential skills that prepared her well for starting school. Aarthi does an excellent job of supporting children's development and helping them meet Early Years milestones.
We are incredibly grateful for the care and support Aarthi has provided to our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and trustworthy childminder.
Words can’t really do Melissa justice, she’s fabulous in all ways. The care she offered my Son Finley was second to none. She loves her role in nurturing children, building their confidence and cares deeply. Finley was with Melissa from the day I went back to work till he started pre school and he still talks of her fondly. Finley flourished in Melissa’s setting and enjoyed all the adventures! Thank you!
Melissa has looked after our daughter since she was 11 months old, and she is now 4½ years old. From the very beginning, our daughter has loved going to Melissa’s house, and it has truly become like one big extended family.
Over the years, she has made wonderful progress across all areas of her development. She comes home every day smiling, excited to tell us about her adventures and the fun she has had, whether that’s trips to the zoo, the farm, local National Trust properties, or the splash park.
For the past year, Melissa has also managed our daughter’s school pick-ups and drop-offs, and every transition has been completely seamless.
As a family, we absolutely adore Melissa. She provides a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can truly thrive. We have complete confidence that our daughter is cared for, supported, and encouraged every day, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything Melissa has done for our family.
Harmeet has Been ever so lovely looking after my 2 kids. The kids have taken so well to her just like she’s a family member. I can manage to work peacefully whilst Harmeet takes care of my kids and house. I am so grateful for her help when I most need it as a working mum. I can’t recommend her enough, I can finish work and be at peace that my kids and house is in order. She always leave the house a better state than she found it :) and my daughter says she’s the best baby sitter ever! She loves Harmeet playing with her and doing her hairstyles.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Tina over the last 4 years. From day one, she made my children feel completely at ease, and it’s clear how much care and attention goes into every part of the day. The setting is safe, welcoming, and full of engaging activities that really support learning and confidence. Communication has always been brilliant, and I love the little updates and photos that show what they’ve been up to. My children come home happy, settled, and excited to go back. I couldn’t ask for better care. I would recommend Tina to everyone looking for childcare.

Luana has been an absolutely fantastic babysitter and we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and always professional, while also being warm, kind, and genuinely caring.
From the outset, she took the time to listen to our routines and preferences, and was always respectful of our wishes. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with.
Most importantly, our son absolutely adored her. He took to her easily, was always happy and settled in her care, and clearly felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Luana has a wonderful way with children—she is patient, engaging, attentive, and naturally nurturing.
Knowing our son was in such capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. We feel very fortunate to have found Luana and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare. Any family would be lucky to have her.
From the moment we met Farhat, it was obvious that caring for children isn't just her job—it's something she genuinely loves. The love she has for my daughter shines through in everything she does, and the feeling is very much mutual. My daughter absolutely adores her and is always happy and excited to see her.
She has created such a warm, loving home environment that children instantly feel safe, secure, and cared for. As a parent, there is an enormous sense of relief in knowing that when I drop my daughter off, she is with someone who treats her with such kindness, patience, and genuine affection.
What I particularly value is the balance Farhat strikes between structure and fun. She provides the children with the routines and consistency they need to thrive, while making every day enjoyable, engaging, and full of play. The children are encouraged to learn, explore, and build confidence, all within an environment that feels nurturing and supportive.
She has a real mother's touch—gentle, reassuring, and instinctively attuned to the children's needs. She creates a sense of calm and security while also making sure every child feels special and included.
I feel incredibly fortunate that my daughter is cared for by someone who is not only an exceptional childminder but also such a warm and compassionate person.
Farhat is also incredibly accommodating and understanding of the realities of family life, always doing her best to help when the unexpected happens.
Thank you so much Farhat!!

My daughter absolutely adores Trina and vice versa. In fact, she said Trina's name before she even said "Mummy" — which says everything about the special bond they have built together!
My daughter excitedly chants Trina's name all the way there in the car, and seeing how happy she is to arrive gives me complete peace of mind. I trust Trina implicitly with my daughter, which is one of the greatest gifts a parent can have.
She is incredibly warm, caring, and nurturing, and has created a genuine home-from-home environment where the children feel safe, loved, and valued. Her house is like a treasure chest of toys, games, and activities, both indoors and outside and the children have endless opportunities to learn, explore, and have fun, as well as going out.
It's clear that Trina puts her heart into what she does, and the children absolutely thrive in her care. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and couldn't recommend her more highly.
She is always incredibly accommodating and understanding when family life throws the unexpected our way. Her flexibility and willingness to help wherever possible have made such a difference to us and taken so much stress out of juggling work and childcare.
Thanks so much Trina!

My little girl has been with Emma for six weeks now, and he loves the setting just as much as her brother did 5 years ago. I was very nervous about leaving my son at such a young age, but I needn't have worried. Emma treated him as if he were her own, providing a loving, safe, and nurturing environment. We have always been extremely happy with the care our children receive. Emma provides a safe, stimulating, and welcoming setting where children feel comfortable and happy.
We would highly recommend Emma to any family looking for high-quality childcare. She has been a wonderful support to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she does.
My daughter Evie has been with Clare since 3 years old, she is 9 now, and has the most wonderful experience. As soon as we met and welcomed into their home i just felt at ease and so comfortable a real home from home feel which is what i wanted for my daughter. Home cooked meals, always doing activities, days out in the summer holidays to the park and she has made some life long friends with the other children. I would highly recommend Clare, friendly, approachable, caring and amazing with the kids. Thank you so much for all your support and love you have given x
Antoinette did an absolutely brilliant job babysitting my daughter whilst I attended a family funeral for an afternoon. She did really well connecting with my daughter and brought some activities of her own along to entertain her even though we had provided toys. Antoinette also managed to adapt to an additional toddler waking up from a nap (unplanned) during this period and looked after the both of them, also sorting snacks and a nappy change when they were needed.
I would highly recommend Antoinette, she was reliable, easy to communicate with and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again, she did an amazing job under some quite stressful circumstances and made me feel very relaxed about leaving my child in her care.
My daughter has even named one of her little dollies after Antoinette now!
