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 have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with Roxy. Our little boy joined her and her team at 11 months old, and from the very first meeting we felt completely at ease. Roxy is warm, professional and incredibly reliable, she communicates clearly, is always transparent and responds to any questions or concerns quickly.
Most importantly, our little boy has been so happy in her care. He goes to her happily in the mornings and is content when we pick him up, which says everything. During his time with Roxy, we’ve felt very confident in his development; he’s eaten and napped well, grown in confidence and we’ve seen him play and interact so nicely with the other children.
Roxy and her team provide a nurturing, caring environment and it’s clear how much she cares about the children and the work she does. We feel very grateful to have found Roxy and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. We recommend her wholeheartedly and will really miss our time with her.
Prudence cared for my daughter for 3 days a week from when she was 9 months old. She was extremely tentative always adapting her care for her latest stage and interests.
She gave the children a stable routine, gave them many activities on a daily basis, sang and danced with them, and focused on outdoor play.
She was great at keeping us up to date with what the day entailed, what/how much my daughter ate and nappies etc.
Prudence is also great at helping us work through the changes we made to our daughters routine during her care and assisted us (eg. Dropping bottles, removing dummies, all the way to potty training). I also applaud Prudence for always remaining gentle, peaceful and patient with our daughter (and the other children) during toddler strops and all the difficult behaviours young children can show.
My daughter wakes up daily and asks if she’s going to Prudences today, she absolutely loves it there and Prudence has cared for her as if she is one of her own.
I would send any other children I have to be cared by Prudence in a heartbeat 💗
My daughters started at the beginning of the year and I couldn’t be happier with the care my children receive from Sophia and her staff. From the very beginning, she has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional, which instantly put us at ease. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children in her care, treating them as individuals and supporting their development in such a thoughtful way.
My kids absolutely love spending time here they go 3 days a week 8-6pm and always come home happy, settled, and full of stories about their day. She provides a clean, safe, nurturing environment with a great balance of learning, play, and routine since starting they’ve been on lots of trips to. I’ve really noticed a positive difference in their confidence, social skills, and overall happiness since being in her care.
Communication has also been excellent—she keeps me updated regularly and is always approachable if I have any questions or concerns I message her throughout the day and she always responds and she sends me photos of what my girls are up to everyday to. Knowing my children are in such capable and caring hands gives me real peace of mind.
We would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a reliable, kind, and dedicated childminder.
We were very fortunate to find Caroline to look after our twin girls, and it’s has been over 3+ wonderful years now.
Caroline and her family have become an integral part of the girls lives, and they constantly provide a loving, caring and true “home from home” that the girls look forward to.
Caroline has been fantastic and her constant involvement in both teaching and nurturing the girls and providing the right development input over the years and at the required development stages has been valuable.
Caroline’s enthusiasm, energy and caring nature is evident and is reflected when seeing how happy and close all the kids in her care have and do become and we are proud that our girls could be a part of this.
Caroline will be truely missed when the girls move on to their next adventure and we are very greatful for everything over the years.
Thank you Caroline and family.
Nidhi worked with our family for one year, caring for my child from the age of one to two.
During her time with us, she proved to be reliable, patient, and genuinely caring. She built a strong bond with my child and provided a safe, nurturing environment that supported his early development. She was attentive to his needs, maintained a consistent routine, and engaged him in age-appropriate activities that encouraged learning and curiosity.
She was also punctual, responsible, and respectful of our household. I always felt confident leaving my child in her care, knowing he was in capable and trustworthy hands.
I would happily recommend her to any family looking for a dependable nanny.
My son has been with Caroline for over 2 years now and he absolutely adores her. When I drop him off with her in the morning I know that he is going to be completely safe, cared for, played with and developed. Caroline is incredibly reliable, excellent at communication and provides the most lovely photos of what he gets up to when he is in her care. Caroline goes above and beyond to ensure that the children in her care are happy, and she also provides detailed explanations of activities and learning opportunities she has been through with the children each week. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and simply can't recommend her enough.
Claudine is looking after my son for 2years soon. He is in such safe hands and thrived. Claudine is paying a lot of attention of the activities she is offering to kids: physical activities, art,.. Claudine went above and beyond my expectations of a childminder: offering them the possibility to meet animals, going to aquarium, even more. I cannot recommend Claudine highly enough, so glad she is with us!!
I arranged childcare with Nancy and she confirmed she was available, but she did not turn up on the day and gave no communication at all.
I called several times and sent messages but received no response. I was completely relying on her, so this left me stranded and unable to go to work.
For a childcare provider, reliability and communication are essential. Unfortunately, this experience showed a complete lack of both. I cannot comment on her ability with children as she did not attend, but I would not recommend booking based on this experience.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Naomi! She is so warm and welcoming, and has a lovely relationship with the children. Naomi is also very supportive and goes the extra mile, helping us with pickups at times, accommodating us with switching my daughter's days occassionally, and taking the kids on play dates, softplay, Chessington Zoo, or out and about in the town. My daughter has thrived under her care and we couldn't be happier with Naomi's level of care and attention. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for anyone else looking for an experienced, caring, warm and supportive childminder.
i have known Toju since 2014, i was a university student and mother of a 4 years old son. I struggled to find a childminder near me for could of month . then i met Toju. What a wonderful warm and loving lady, she helped and supported me and my family through though times. She is like a mom to my first and second child. My kids loves her and her lovely family.
We feel so lucky to have found Marisa. She’s been such a big part of our boys’ lives and has created such a warm, caring environment for them both.
She also looked after both our newborn and toddler on our wedding day, which says everything about how much we trust and adore her!
Our boys are always so happy to see her. Especially our eldest who doesn't warm to people very easily but he just loves Marisa.
We also really appreciate the regular updates and photos throughout the day, it gives us so much peace of mind. She always takes the children out on lots of lovely outings and keeps them busy with different activities, which they love and we love to see!
At this point, she feels more like a friend than just a childminder, and we’re really grateful to have her. Thank you Marisa! Xxx
We have been with Hayley since my daughter was 6months and we now have to leave at just under 3.5years.
She was an answered prayer and I couldn’t be more thankful for the service she provided us. I use the word service loosely because, this was more than service, it was kindness, assurance, certainty, safety and technically family.
Thank you isn’t enough. I’d miss Hayley and know my daughter who absolutely loves her would miss her as well as all the friends she’s made here over the years.
Our children love to be at Clare’s and always ask when they’re going round.
Clare has cared for our kids for a few years now and they have both grown to be confident, inquisitive, happy and sociable children and have made many friends over time.
Clare has not only helped them but has also helped us by giving advice at critical times of their development.
Clare is one in a million. We’re so grateful to her and everything she does for us and the kids.
Ros looked after our little boy until he started nursery recently, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better nanny. We were incredibly nervous about leaving our boy with someone new, especially given our son’s needs. He is autistic and non verbal, so finding the right person felt even more important. From the very beginning, Ros completely put our minds at ease. She is warm, patient, caring, and built such a special bond with our son.She always took the time to understand him, engaging him in ways that worked for him with activities etc and making sure he felt safe and happy. She’s a kind and thoughtful nanny and it was clear how much she truly cared about his wellbeing and development.
We feel very lucky to have had her as part of our lives during such an important time. She is a wonderful nanny, and we’re so glad we’ll be able to stay in touch and have her continue to look after him on an ad hoc basis. We can’t recommend Ros highly enough

Very disappointed with my experience. Initial contact seemed promising, but communication quickly dropped. I have sent follow up emails but no one has bothered to reply. I am still waiting a confirmation for a pre-visit. Not sure if you have children of your own, but the whole process of finding a nursery or childminder is important and stressful as we are leaving our little ones with a stranger who we have to trust. Although I can’t comment on your actual ability to child mind, communication is really important, and unfortunately that wasn’t the case here. You lack communication skills. I hope this is something that can be improved for future families.
Part of me doesn’t want to write the review for fear of Linda getting too booked up to be our sitter again, but we would be doing a disservice if we didn’t leave a stellar review for Linda. Linda recently looked after our 10 week old baby, she was incredibly competent, nurturing and intuitive with our baby even when the schedule went awry! Very lucky to have such a natural look after our baby. Many thanks again.
Emma has been an exceptional tutor for my daughter, working with her weekly for more than six months and making a remarkable difference in her confidence and academic progress. She transformed her understanding of maths, helping her become one of the strongest pupils in her year and approach both SATs and 11+ preparation with real assurance. Under Emma’s guidance, my daughter passed all three independent school entrance exams she sat and received offers from each one. She also strengthened her English far beyond creative writing, teaching her advanced grammar, richer vocabulary, varied sentence structures, and how to write with clarity, purpose, and emotional depth. Emma is patient, dedicated, and incredibly effective — a truly outstanding tutor whom we recommend wholeheartedly.
