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.
Geraldine has been warm, engaging and generally amazing with our daughter Annabel who joined her full time at 11 months old. Geraldine is extremely attentive and supportive of Annabel’s needs, ensuring everything is done at her pace whilst also pushing her when she can see she is ready. Annabel has a delicious menu of home cooked food provided by Geraldine and goes on lovely trips out which she enjoys enormously.
We cannot believe the development Annabel has made. She very happily waves us off every day and has formed an amazing bond with Geraldine which is very reassuring as first time parents!
Would time and again recommend Geraldine to other prospective parents.

I cannot recommend Tracy highly enough. She has been our childminder for around five years now, caring for both of my children, and they have loved every moment spent with her.
From day one, Tracy has provided a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment where my children have always felt happy, settled and cared for. She is incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful, and genuinely treats the children as if they were her own. It is clear how much she cares about each child and their individual needs.
Tracy always goes above and beyond, whether that’s planning fun and engaging activities, supporting their development, or simply being a reliable and reassuring presence in their lives. She keeps parents updated with photos, messages and regular communication, which has always given me complete peace of mind while my children are in her care.
Over the years, I have watched both of my children grow in confidence, independence and social skills, and Tracy has played a huge part in that. They have built such a special relationship with her and are always excited to see her.
Finding someone you trust completely with your children is priceless, and Tracy is exactly that person. We have been incredibly lucky to have her as part of our lives for so many years.
As my youngest gets ready to leave for school, I know she will miss Tracy enormously but honestly, it won’t just be my child who misses her. I will too. She has been such an important part of our family’s journey, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for us.
Claims to have all these references and checks but our experience was nothing but horrendous. Disappeared on the third day saying she's going for a break and then never back and instead demanded money. We had to do most of the nanny work for her or watch her to a half job by just calling out the child's name. Wouldn't clean up after the child saying it's the hotels job. Just a lame excuse to not care for someone's child.
Aarthi has been taking care of my son Dominic since he was 1 year and 10 months old, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She treated him like part of her own family, always showing him so much love, patience, and care.
Dominic was always happy and comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind as a parent. Aarthi created a safe, warm, and caring environment where he could learn, play, and grow with confidence.
Because of the amazing experience we had with her, our daughter Chloe is now going there as well. That alone says how much trust and appreciation we have for Aarthi and the care she provides.
I am truly grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dedicated.

We cannot recommend Little Wellies highly enough. They cared for our son from just 8 months old right through until he started school and have also continued supporting us with school pick-ups and drop-offs.
From day one, they created a real home-from-home environment where he felt safe, happy and loved. The continuity of care and family-friendly approach made such a positive difference to both him and us as parents.
What stands out most is the incredible bond they built with our son and our family. His confidence, happiness and positive attitude are a reflection of the amazing care, encouragement and support he received.
Little Wellies also made learning fun and engaging, helping him develop educationally through creative activities, play and encouragement every day. It was wonderful to see how much he learned while always enjoying himself.
We are so grateful for everything they have done over the years and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for caring, reliable and truly exceptional childcare.
Nazima has been looking after my child for the past 2 years now, and I must say, I am very glad that I picked her to be a child minder to my daughter Zunairah. Nazima and my daughter has built a very close relationship and she always sends me updates of what my little one is doing through the day, there’s always stimulating activities and toys provided and my child sometimes doesn’t even want to leave!, Nazima has been the most helpful of all considering I am from south London with little to no support system In west London as a single parent. I have a very deep trust with her and recommend her services greatly. The price per hour is so low and for us single parents this really helps especially with the quality of childcare being provided it’s almost criminal to not contact Nazima for childcare. Very happy and still using her services and my child is 4.
Luzita looked after our now 2 year old for over a year. She's an extremely reliable, loving and caring childminder. Our son had no difficulty settling in and has loved his time at Luzita's. They get to visit the local park, play groups and spend significant time outdoors in every weather. Our son is always very eager to go to Luzita's as he enjoys his time there. She communicates well and keeps us informed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable loving childminder or babysitter.

We cannot recommend Paula and Shining Stars highly enough. Choosing someone to care for your child is one of the biggest decisions you make as a parent, and from the moment Luca started with her, we knew we had found someone truly special.
The progress Luca has made during his time in her care has been incredible. He has grown so much in confidence, communication, physical development and learning. Watching him flourish over the last couple of years has been wonderful, and we know that so much of that is down to the nurturing, supportive and stimulating environment she provides every day.
Paula's Curiosity Approach-inspired setting is nothing short of inspirational. The thought, creativity and care that go into creating engaging educational experiences for the children are remarkable. The resources are beautifully presented, carefully planned and constantly evolving to spark children's curiosity, imagination and love of learning. It is clear how much time and dedication she invests in ensuring every child has meaningful opportunities to explore and develop.
Alongside this, the children enjoy delicious healthy home-cooked meals, and the atmosphere she creates is warm, welcoming and full of genuine care. She strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and affection, creating a home-from-home environment where children feel safe, valued and happy.
Communication has always been exceptional. The daily updates and photographs shared through the app give wonderful insight into the children's days, while her Instagram page and monthly newsletters showcase the fantastic activities and learning opportunities she provides including outings to the local parks, forest and library. Regular progress reports have also helped us understand and celebrate Luca's development every step of the way.
Paula has always been flexible, approachable and supportive, and we have felt completely confident leaving Luca in her care. Knowing he was happy, loved and thriving made returning to work as a teacher following maternity leave so much easier.
As Luca prepares to leave for school, we feel incredibly grateful for everything she has done for him and our family. We are so sad to be saying goodbye, and she will be hugely missed. The positive impact she has had on Luca's early years will stay with him for a very long time.
Thank you for everything. We couldn't have wished for a better start to Luca's learning journey. Carly and Sean
Amanda babysat for my children recently, she was very polite, punctual and friendly. The children really enjoyed spending time with her and felt very comfortable. I came home to a calm house and everyone in bed. I would be happy to recommend Amanda to others :)
Happy has been caring for my son for several months now, and I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough. From the first day, she built a beautiful bond with him through her kindness, patience, and naturally caring nature.
She is incredibly attentive, trustworthy, and experienced, always making sure my son is safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether at home, outdoors, or during nursery pick-ups and drop-offs, she handles everything calmly and professionally. Her years of childcare experience truly show in the way she understands children and responds to their needs with such warmth and confidence.
What I appreciate most about Happy is the genuine love and positive energy she brings every day. She is cheerful, respectful, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to help. My son absolutely loves spending time with her, and as a parent there is no better feeling than knowing your child is in such safe and loving hands.
Happy has become someone our family trusts completely, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and outstanding nanny

We started our son full time with Michaela when he was just 10 months old, following a recommendation from close friends - and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made.
From the very first settling-in sessions, Michaela made the transition feel genuinely effortless. She has a natural warmth and calm that put both our son and us at ease, and I was able to return to work with real confidence knowing he was happy and in safe hands.
The impact on his development has been remarkable. His vocabulary grows week on week, and he regularly surprises us with new words and phrases. Michaela keeps him engaged with a lovely range of activities -trips to the library, local parks and playgroups as well as art’s & crafts - and we treasure the photos and videos she sends throughout the week. It gives such wonderful peace of mind to see him thriving.
Most of all, our son absolutely adores her. Michaela has become so much more than a childminder to our family -she feels like a true extension of our parenting bubble, someone we trust completely with the person we love most. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Leaving your 9-month-old with someone else for the first time is honestly so hard but from day one Adrienne and Paul made the whole transition so much easier for us.
I was incredibly nervous about returning to work and leaving my little boy so young, but Adrienne instantly put me at ease. In the beginning there were a few tears at drop-off (from both of us) but that phase only lasted a couple of weeks. Now he happily waves us goodbye from Adrienne’s arms.
The updates we receive every single day are amazing. We get pictures, videos, updates on what he’s eaten, how much he’s eaten, and how much he’s slept and at what times.
I genuinely couldn’t recommend Tiny Treasures enough. Going from spending every day together during maternity leave to returning to work was such a huge change for me, but knowing my son is with people who care for him so well has made all the difference.
He’s made his first little friends there, and it’s been amazing watching his confidence and development grow so much.
We truly feel so lucky to have found Adrienne and Paul.
We would like to thank you so much.
Gill has been my daughter’s childminder for the last two years. After reaching out and then speaking to gill on the phone, to meeting her, I knew my daughter would be in safe capable hands. It just felt right!
My two-year-old is generally excited to see her 3 days a week, we even kept gill on after moving 30 minutiae away as we were so happy with the care she gives.
Gill gives childminders a good name, we are truly lucky to have her.
She will be truly missed when my daughter moves on.
Her set up is fantastic!
After speaking to a lot of my friends and listening to their childcare experiences with others, I truly believe I hit the jackpot with Gill!

A friend of mine shared Rita’s profile on social media at a time where we were just starting to consider the thought of childcare. After meeting I instantly trusted her and knew my son would be supported and looked after in the way that worked for us. He settled almost instantly, wanders in now without even a look back and brings home little phrases and things he’s learned from Rita’s. His language has improved massively and overall he just loves it there. Thank you Rita and Chloe for all that you do.
I have been sending my eldest child to Claires Childminding for nearly 3 years. My eldest has thrived and learned so much from Claire and Ellen. She is about to go to school in September and she will truely miss attending. My youngest has been going for 3 months, and she loves attending, she is even learning to say, well shout Claires name! Prior to childcare she would not settle with anyone but her parents, now she is a confident little baby! She provides a fruit and veg snack, which she does not have too, but we are truely greatful as our chidlren do not stop eating!
Meeting Tanya is as if I hit the jackpot 😊 She took great care of my older son for 6 years and now continuing to look after my second boy since he was 8 months old (now almost 5yo).Caring ,calm, lovely,punctual and flexible,the best person in my life❣️My children love her,I love her very much too.Always there when I need her ,can't thank her enough ♥️ She helped and still helping me to raise lovely, happy and well behaved children.Thank you Tanya 😊🌹♥️

My daughter moved to Rita’s after previous setting closed and she settled in straight away. Growing smiles has a great purpose built setting with a wonderful outdoor provision. Both Rita and Chloe are welcoming and caring and my child is happy to go each day.
Isbah looked after our son from the age of nine moths old. She is an extremely caring and loving childminder. The welfare of the children she cares for is her absolute priority. She arranges wonderful activities for the children including play groups and days out, which our son absolutely loved. Our son was so happy in Isbah's care and it was a joy to see lovely photos and videos of his happy times with Isbah. We are extremely grateful to Isbah for all she has done to look after our son and bring him along so well.
We’ve been so happy with the care our child has received. Rachel is kind, reliable, and create such a safe and welcoming environment for our son. Our child has grown in confidence and always looks forward to spending time at Rachels house. I cant think of a better childminder for my first son and my new baby boy who would be joining soon.
Sara is just absolutely great with kids. She can achieve things with my daughter that nobody can (completely potty trained her in 3 days) . Loads of outdoor (garden) activities, kids love.
I can only highly recommend Sara, the kids are always having a great time with her.
Thank you for all your effort Sara. 😍
