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.
Shona looked after our 3 girls on 22nd December 2025 so we could attend a family wedding. To say Shona was excellent would be an understatement. Or children were taken to the beach, to McDonald's and generally kept them entertained all day which we felt was above & beyond, given it was a one off occasion. When we returned back to our air bnb, the children were all in bed fast asleep. Would highly recommend Shona to anyone. Thankyou Shona
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for our three-year-old daughter. We found Joshi through Childcare.co.uk, and as first-time parents, we were naturally a bit sceptical about leaving our daughter for long hours, as it was completely new to us.
From day one, Joshi’s kindness, patience, and incredibly caring nature put us completely at ease. Our daughter was always happy to go to her setting and came home smiling, chatting excitedly about her day, and clearly feeling safe, secure, and loved. Joshi provided a nurturing, fun, and well-structured environment that truly helped our daughter grow in confidence and independence.
Communication was excellent throughout. Everyday, Joshi shared updates about our daughter’s day, including what she did, what she ate, and how she was feeling, which we really appreciated as a parent. She is also very creative and constantly involved the children in engaging and stimulating activities. Our daughter learned so many new things during her time in Joshi’s care.
The setting itself is another star for Joshi. The nursery is separate from the house and provides quite large spaces for kids to explore.
We are extremely grateful for everything Joshi has done for our family and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful childminder.
I cannot recommend our childminder highly enough. She has done a truly fantastic job with my 3-year-old son, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. From day one, she created a warm, caring, and engaging environment where he has absolutely thrived.
She is patient, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about children’s development. My son has grown in confidence, learned new skills, and always comes home excited to share what he did that day. The activities she plans are creative, educational, and perfectly suited to his age, and it’s clear she puts so much thought and effort into making each day enjoyable.
What I appreciate most is her fantastic communication — she keeps us updated, shares lovely moments from the day, and always makes us feel reassured that he’s in the best hands.
Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our son. You’ve been an incredible support to our family, and we’re truly grateful. I would highly recommend you to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and exceptional at what they do.
Micky has been caring for our 2 children for over 1.5 years. She is brilliant with the children they come home chatting about something new they have learnt, made or done in their day. Micky takes children out to local groups, parks, activities and both my children thrive from experiencing different outings and settings.
One of our children has additional needs and Micky has been accommodating and understanding working with specialist support team from Surrey.
Both of our children love Micky and have both learnt and grown so much whilst being in her care. We would thoroughly recommend Micky for providing childcare, we are sad to be leaving Micky.
Sarah was the childminder for my three children over a period of nine years. She has been a god send, so flexible and kind. She has always been willing to support myself and the children even now we have finished using her services.
As she is so popular my children have always had friends going to Sarah's, so they really enjoyed the social aspect of their after school care. My daughter also loved interacting with "all the babies".
Sarah is also located in an ideal spot for Knaphill Schools which made everything so easy.
I could not recommend her more highly!
Little Duckling is a pleasant setting for young children and they are keen on providing the best possible care for their ducklings. I am happy to have had the opportunity to know and be a part of this wonderful family
My twins attended Kat’s setting for 6 months before they moved to a nursery in a different area. They were 14 months when they joined, and the progress we saw in terms of confidence, motor skill and communication skills was fantastic. They were very settled and relaxed with Kat and Beth which meant they we were very relaxed knowing they were in safe hands.
We were also happy with the value for money and the range of activities and food that the kids had.
Natalie has looked after my daughter on many occasions, I wouldn’t recommend anyone more than I do her. She’s caring, kind and loves on all the children she looks after. My daughter adores her and loves going round to hers, she’s kept entertained, feels safe, learns a lot of new skills and always comes home wanting to go back. Not only has my daughter built a relationship with Natalie so have I and I trust her with my child 100%. I will always chose to use her services in the future.
Lorena and Jim provide excellent care for my little girl. She is safe, happy and well cared for with them.
My little girl is excited to go to their house has lots of fun there. She does not look back at me when I drop her off. They do lots of different activities and take the children out each day.
Communication and updates are excellent , with lots of photo updates being sent throughout the day.
Healthy food is provided to the children as well as the encouraging other healthy habits such as teeth brushing and exercise.
I’m so happy that my little girl can go somewhere that is like a home from home and a second family for her.
I don’t think it’s possible to put In to words the caring nature and love Sarah shows. Every day over a period of 8years (two children) Sarah has helped develop, nurture and teach my children in to become well behaved, well educated, and polite children. My oldest has all ways looked forward to the holidays asking if she can go to Sarah’s.
Sarah has always shown nothing but passion for the children she cares for as I have seen over the years, daily trips out to parks, sea life, zoo, baby/toddler groups, the art the children bring home and it’s seen at Halloween/Christmas times as her home is turned in to Santa’s grotto.
Sarah has been like a second family, pouring so much love and care into helping them grow into the amazing little people they are today. From the moment they started, I could see my kids light up—whether it was learning new things, like their first words or how to share and play kindly, or just having a blast with fun activities that sparked their curiosity. Sarah has got this magical way of making every day feel special, teaching them manners, confidence, and so much joy. My kids are thriving, and I know it’s because of the heart and soul Sarah puts into everything. Sarah is not just a childminder —they’re someone who’s helped shape my kids into kind, happy, and curious little humans, and I’m so grateful for her!
I remember looking for a childminder 8years ago and being so worried about leaving my children, I very quickly realised I was leaving my children with someone who loves and cares for them as much as me.
There was nothing Sarah wouldn’t do for the children she cares for and she goes above and beyond and follows that through to the children’s family’s.
I have recommended Sarah to all my friends who have recently had babies. I have been able to go through 8years of photos, videos and art work with them and show them they will not find anyone better.
Thank you Sarah for helping my children grow each day and grow in to the beautiful children they are today!
Michelle took care of our son Eddie from 8 months, when I returned to work, until he was just over 2, when for logistical reasons he moved to a nursery. It felt so nerve wracking to find childcare, especially at such a young age, but Michelle ensured a staggered settling in period and approached everything very thoughtfully. Her home is lovely – a warm, welcoming family home. Eddie formed a strong bond with her, and her family, and it was so comforting to know that he was in the care of someone kind and caring and incredibly experienced and knowledgeable about child development. He loved the other children too – his first little friends. Michelle was great at communicating, from sending photos to letting us know if there were any issues, and I always appreciated having a quick chat at the end of the day. We’re so grateful to Michelle for all she did for Eddie – her care and attention definitely helped turn him into the happy little person he is today.
We have been incredibly fortunate to have Julie as our nanny since September 2023. I have three energetic boys who are now 9,7 and 3. Julie is calm, caring and kind and has formed a really close bond with all of them especially my 3 year old who will miss his special Julie days. She keeps things clean and tidy and always helps out at home, going above and beyond. She has always been flexible and accommodating and we trust her implicitly.
The boys will miss her a huge amount and Julie will always be a part of our family.
I left my baby Sofia with Gabriela when she was not even 12 months old Mon to Fri for the whole day. Despite my daughter was extremely attached to me and took a little bit of time to settle Gabriela was there to support me and the baby during the difficult time of going back to work to a brand new job. She has been the most reassuring, nurturing and caring lovable person that really made it easier. She is a very nurturing childminder who provides a home to home type of setting ensuring your baby is also developed and stimulated in line with the appropriate age. Very experienced and very knowledgeable her passion and dedication to children speaks volume. I highly recommend her and would 100% have continued using her if i lived closer.
As a bonus she cooks divine and healthy food for every single meal of the day.

I cannot speak more highly of Lydia and the way she has looked after our little girl Lily. She has kept us regularly updated on the app and on WhatsApp, and has developed a really strong bond with her. They go on days out to soft play, farms, garden centres, messy play and much more, as well as having play time in their purpose built childcare area in their home. Their whole family has made us feel so at ease. Would highly recommend Lydia
I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She’s looked after my children before and they absolutely adore her. She’s so caring, patient, and naturally amazing with kids. The environment she provides is safe, nurturing, and genuinely top tier — you can tell a lot of thought and love goes into everything she does. As a parent, I felt completely at ease knowing my children were in such good hands. Any child would be lucky to be cared for by her.
“I had a great experience with Natalie. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive with my children. I felt completely comfortable leaving my kids in her care. She kept them safe, entertained, and happy, and they really enjoyed spending time with her. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their children.”
We are extremely grateful to have such a wonderful childminder for my son, Ezrah. She is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in his development and wellbeing. Ezrah feels safe, happy, and supported in her care, which gives me real peace of mind as a parent. Her reliability and positive influence have made a big difference to our family, and I couldn’t ask for better care for my child.
I couldn’t have asked for a more loving and caring childminder. Natalie has looked after my child for many years and has been such an important part of our family’s life. Knowing my child was happy, safe, and genuinely loved meant everything to me. I am so grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication Natalie has given, and i will always treasure the impact she’s had on my child.
