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.
Tracey looked after my daughter from 1-11 years old and my son from 3-11, she provided fantastic care, a loving home and they were extremely happy in her care. Tracey has a huge amount of knowledge and skills to support children to develop and to be happy and healthy, and we always felt confident in the advice she gave us. We are still in contact and will be forever thankful for the care and the loving family home she provided for our children
Karen's services were recommended to us by a parent from my son's school, who had just started working with her. Having never worked with a childminder before (only having experience of nurseries), I wasn't sure. However, any uncertainty I had was very quickly put to rest and I've since recommended her to everyone looking for a childminder, and will continue to do so.
Karen is absolutely brilliant and her setting is most certainly a home from home. My children both absolutely love her and still have occasional days with her during school holidays if Karen has space, or for a needed last-minute after school pick up - both of which speak to her flexibility. They really look forward to their time with Karen, which I believe speaks volumes.
Karen takes care of the children as if they're her own, and her setting is absolutely spotless and honestly like a mini-nursery set up with the whole of her downstairs exclusively made available to the children. As if that wasn't enough, she takes them out on so many outings. My children have enjoyed multiple parks, cinema, Horniman Museum and more whilst in Karen's care.
My children always leave Home Sweet Home with smiles on their faces and full tummies. If you're looking for a childminder, look no further and enquire with Karen today. You won't be disappointed!
Martina was hands down the best nanny we ever had. My kids are teenagers now, but we still talk about Tia fondly. She set the bar incredibly high and no one that came after came close. She is simply wonderful with children, babies and older, she is very creative herself and encourages creativity and curiousity in her wards. She is also a lot of fun, is very kind and has a great deal of patience. I remember feeling very nervous when I made the decision to get a nanny for the kids, you have to put a lot of trust in a stranger, but she came highly recommended by a friend and as soon as I met her, I knew she was the one! We were very lucky to have her - I knew my children were in very safe hands which really took the stress away from returning to work.
Dionne and her wonderful team (Crystal, Raysha and Catherine) cared for our three kids over the last few years, our eldest after school and our youngest two from babies until they left for pre-school.
As soon as I visited the setting I knew my kids would be well cared for. All of the adults are so warm, caring, and attentive, and each of our kids formed really strong bonds with them.
The setting is beautiful and Dionne makes the absolute most of the space with a lovely outdoor area. The activities the kids engage in are amazing, Dionne makes a massive effort to support their learning and emotional development. She also encourages really kind and respectful behaviour between the children, and they all have a lovely time together.
She goes above and beyond on activities outside the setting with trips to the park, play clubs, museums, and trips to lots of different places around London.
She provides amazing food encouraging the kids to get involved in cooking and preparation. Having tasted her food I can 100% vouch for it being delicious.
Most importantly our kids loved going there. We genuinely felt like we were leaving them with family and it made my transition back to work so much easier knowing my babies were somewhere so lovely. We really miss having Dionne, Raysha, Crystal and Catherine in our lives now that they have grown out of this setting!
If you're looking for a setting for a baby I couldn't recommend Dionne enough.
We couldn’t be happier with our childminder Rossi. From the very beginning, she has been caring, kind and incredibly supportive. Our child is always happy and excited to go, which gives us great peace of mind.
She provides a safe, welcoming and fun environment, and it’s clear how much care and attention she puts into everything she does.
Communication is always excellent, and we are kept up to date with how our child is getting on.
Rossi is very kind and loving mum of 2sweet children and all her family welcomed our daughter like she's 1 of them.

Tina looked after our daughter for over two years until she started school. When initially seeking childcare, as parents we were nervous with trusting someone else to look after our child but Tina made us feel completely comfortable and confident from the start.
Our daughter always enjoyed going to Tina’s and never once protested, she even asked if she could still see Tina at weekends when she knew she would be leaving to start school and this reflects the lovely relationship that developed between them both and the positive environment Tina nurtured. It was always reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our child was when being dropped off and how much they enjoyed spending time there.
We particularly appreciated the variety of activities and experiences provided, these included lots of different toys to play with at her home, arts and crafts and trips to play group and other fun suitable outdoor places that our daughter enjoyed. Tina was always thoughtful of seasonal celebrations and was very kind in providing our daughter with little gift bags relevant to the occasion.
Tina was always approachable, reliable and accommodating, which made balancing childcare with family and work commitments much easier. She was very supportive while I was recovering from a c section on the birth of my second child.
Most importantly, we always knew that our daughter was being looked after by someone who genuinely cared about their happiness and wellbeing. We are extremely grateful for the care Tina provided to our family and have many positive memories of our child’s time with them.
I would happily recommend Tina to any parent looking for a kind, trustworthy and dependable childminder.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Kim enough. She looks after both of my children, my daughter who is 3 and my son who is 1, and they absolutely love being with her.
Kim’s home really is a home from home for them. They are both so happy, comfortable and settled there, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing they are with someone who is so kind, patient and caring. She treats them like part of the family, and that means so much to us.
She always makes sure they have plenty to do, with fun activities, play and opportunities to learn and develop. My daughter loves telling me about her day, and seeing how happy and comfortable my little boy is with Kim is so reassuring.
Kim has built such a lovely relationship with both of them despite their different ages and needs. I never have to worry when I leave them because I know they are safe, loved, cared for and having a lovely time.
Finding someone you completely trust with your children is such a big thing, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found Kim. The fact that both of my children love going there says everything. It genuinely feels like their second home, and I couldn’t ask for a better childminder. ❤️

We were in Glasgow just for the weekend and Lindsey watched our almost 2-year-old son at our hotel for an evening while my husband and I went to dinner. She was wonderful; she expertly handled the meltdown as we left, then dinner and bedtime. Very communicative and reliable, a true professional. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Debbie Hunter. She is an amazing childminder. Her home setting is fabulous. And children always feel like it's there home too. Debbie is very welcoming to all parents and children.
My Daughter started with Debbie in year R right through to year 6. My Daughter loved how Debbie was always understanding, listens and treated her as one of her own children.
I knew from day one that my daughter was safe in Debbie's care.
Debbie we cannot thank you enough for all the care you did for Eloise and she still misses you today, as I do too.
If your looking for childcare Debbie is the one for your child.
Thanks Debbie 😀 🥰
We couldn’t be happier with the care and support our son receives from Lynn. From the very beginning, she has made him feel safe, comfortable and welcomed, which has made such a huge difference for him.
She is incredibly patient, caring and understanding, and has taken the time to build a genuine bond with him. She continues to make him feel happy and secure in her setting, giving him the confidence and reassurance he needs to feel comfortable away from home.
What means even more to us is the support she has given him with starting his new school. She understood that moving to a completely new school could be overwhelming for him and went above and beyond to help him adjust. Her encouragement, patience and consistent support have helped him build confidence, settle into his new routine and feel much more comfortable in his new school environment.
It is such a relief for us as parents to know that he is in such caring and capable hands. We can see a real difference in his confidence and happiness, and we genuinely believe her support has played a huge part in helping him through this important transition.
She is kind, attentive, reliable and truly puts the children in her care first. We are incredibly grateful for everything she continues to do for our son and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, supportive and trustworthy childminder.
Our son attended Faicka and Deglys’ setting from 1.5 to 3 years old, and these 18 months have been extraordinary.
Outstanding care & communication: They provided attentive, reliable care. Whenever our son had a fever, they looked after him with great compassion and notified us right away so we could act quickly.
Healthy habits & growth: We previously struggled with a picky eater at home, but their setting was a turning point—he started eating well and thriving.
Learning & social development: The mixed-age group helped him learn from older peers and engage with younger ones. His vocabulary, numbers, and alphabet knowledge developed rapidly.
A welcoming environment: He loved the company of their pets, especially Cookie the dog, who always warmly saw us off at drop-offs and pick-ups.
We will miss them immensely and fully intend to bring him back during school holidays. Highly recommended!

I really like that Marzena provides a wide variety of activities for the children, many of which take place outdoors. I especially appreciate this because, nowadays, children often spend more time indoors than outside, so I think it is really important for them to have plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh air, play and explore outdoors.
She also prepares tasty and healthy meals for the children, which I really appreciate.
The setting is always clean, welcoming and pleasant, even though the children have plenty of opportunities to enjoy messy and creative play.
Another thing I really appreciate is that Marzena sends photos every day showing the children’s activities. The photos don’t just show what the children are doing, but you can also see how happy they are and how much they enjoy the activities. It is really lovely to see them having fun and enjoying their time together.
I also really appreciate Marzena’s attitude towards the children. She is both professional and friendly, and it is easy to see how much care, passion and dedication she puts into her work. You can genuinely see that she puts her heart into what she does and really cares about the children’s happiness and wellbeing.
I've known Radia for 8 years she has looked after my daughters in her previous role. When she left the nursery to take on her new role i just had to send my daughter to be with her as Radia is such a natural not only with children she is very much as great with parents. She builds a genuine loving caring passionate raport with each individual family as a whole. I would not want or trust my children with anyone as much as I do with Radia, she is very much second mum and home for my twins currently and they love Radia dearly so much so at one point they wouldn't come to me at home time and that is saying something. Forever greatful for her and the care she has given my children.
I couldn’t have asked for better!
I had Parvish looking after my daughter for just over 1 year, and it’s been a great pleasure. From day one, Parvish has been so kind, calm and caring. My daughter was always excited and happy to go in.
Parvish gave so much more than just looking after my daughter.
There’s always fun things to do — stories, crafts, outdoor play, and she really took the time to get to know what my daughter liked and needed. She kept me updated every day with little messages and photos, which meant I never had to worry while I was at work, it was such a relief. Even now my daughter says I want to go to nani’s (that’s what my daughter use to call Parvish), my daughter felt very comfortable with Parvish.
My daughter has come on so well with their confidence, talking and social skills. Parvish is reliable, flexible, and always keeps everything clean and safe. You can tell she truly loves what she does.
If you’re looking for a childminder, I couldn’t recommend Parvish highly enough.
Thank you for everything!
Sonia is absolutely amazing! My son got comfortable with her within a couple of minutes and wouldn't want to leave her at the end of 5 hours block. 😊
She kept me posted with videos which was a massive peace of mind and reassurance whilst i was at work. Also her daughter has been amazing and kept my son engaged in activities. Giggles and laughs, you can't ask for more. I'd highly recommend her.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with Polly and the care she provides. My son previously attended another childminder setting and, unfortunately, he wasn’t always as settled. Since starting with Polly, we have noticed such a lovely and positive change in him. He is genuinely happy, looks forward to going in, and comes home happy and content. As a parent, seeing that difference means absolutely everything.
As a primary school teacher myself, I feel I can naturally recognise when someone genuinely has children’s best interests at heart, and this is something that really stands out with Polly. You can tell she has a wealth of previous nursery experience, and she has brought all of that knowledge and experience into her own setting. It really shows in the activities she plans, the experiences she provides and the way she creates such a warm, stimulating and nurturing environment for the children.
One of the things I particularly love about Polly’s setting is how much she offers the children. There are so many opportunities to learn, explore, create and have fun, things you might typically see with a nursery setting, but all within her own home. It feels like she has created the best of both worlds.
Most importantly, my son is happy. The change in him since starting with Polly has been so lovely to see, and I feel completely reassured knowing he is somewhere he enjoys being and while also receiving such personal and attentive care.
Polly genuinely goes above and beyond, and it is clear how passionate she is about what she does. I feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, professional and dedicated childminder.
