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.
Filiz has been an absolute Godsend to our family. She has cared for both my children, and I honestly couldn't speak more highly of her. She is one of those genuinely special people who goes above and beyond her role as a childminder. Warm, affectionate, nurturing and incredibly responsive to the children's individual needs, she has created an environment where my children have always felt happy, secure and, most importantly, truly loved.
My eldest has recently moved on to preschool, but still misses Filiz terribly, which I think says everything about the bond she has built with the children. She has become so much more than a childminder to us; she genuinely feels like an extended member of our family.
Filiz puts so much thought and effort into making the children's days enjoyable and stimulating. She regularly takes them out to playgroups, parks, soft play and playdates, giving them plenty of opportunities to explore, socialise and develop. At home, she has a wonderful playroom and a beautiful garden, both of which are clearly thoughtfully set up with the children's needs, interests and development in mind.
As a healthcare professional, I am particularly conscious of safeguarding and the importance of knowing that children are in safe, responsible hands. With Filiz, I have complete peace of mind. I know my children are not only safe, but are being cared for with genuine affection, attentiveness and consideration. She takes a real interest in their development, encourages them at every stage and provides lovely, detailed daily feedback so that we always know how their day has been.
It is rare to find someone you can trust so completely with your children. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Filiz, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has made such a positive difference to our children's early years, and we will always be grateful for the love and care she has given and continues to give
Our son was very attached to us at 11 months, and it took him a while to get used to not having us around. Bella was caring and attentive throughout, and she helped us all get through that transition. She truly transformed our son: he became more sociable with other children and was well prepared for nursery.
She also cooks great food and has created a wonderful environment for the children to grow in. It’s cosy, kind and creative. The other children and their families are all lovely, and so are her assistants.
Bella is a loving and caring childminder who genuinely looks after each of the children in her care. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

Both me and my husband can’t recommend Sarah enough. We were very lucky to find Oakwood Childminding, as our last childminder retired and she had set a very high standard! After viewing a few childminders I instantly felt reassured after visiting Sarah. My little girl loved going each day and never wanted to leave. Sarah makes the children’s stays a home from home experience and she goes above and beyond to ensure they are entertained and thriving. Always educating them and ensuring they are learning through play.
Knowing my daughter was safe and thoroughly enjoying her days with Sarah and the other children made my return to work a lot easier.
We honestly couldn’t recommend Pam highly enough. She has looked after our son since he was just 10 months old and has been such a wonderful part of his life.
She provides a warm, loving and nurturing environment where he has always felt safe, happy and cared for. As parents, we’ve always had complete peace of mind knowing he is in such capable hands. Pam supported us with his milestones, walking, and potty training. Pam would take our son to a local playgroup each week, trips to the parks and he would come home with different seasonal crafts. We received a learning journal from Pam, which was lovely to look back on.
We’re incredibly grateful for the care, patience and dedication she has shown over the years. She has played a huge part in his early childhood and we couldn’t have wished for anyone better to look after him. Truly outstanding childcare!
Katie has been absolutely amazing with our 7-month-old, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly! She is always coming up with lovely activities, whether that’s swimming, walking the dog or even taking our little one along to a birthday party. She fits in so naturally with our lifestyle and is fantastic at understanding and adapting to the baby’s needs. She is friendly, flexible, reliable and so easy to arrange bookings with, making the whole experience completely stress-free. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful nanny or sitter!

My daughter has been going to Sarah since she was 9 months old and, even now that she has started school, she still goes to Sarah during the school holidays. Sarah has become such a special person in my daughter's life and has always been, without a doubt, one of her favourite people!
Sarah is amazing at what she does and has played such a huge part in my daughter's early years, not only providing the most wonderful care but also supporting her learning and development. They are always off on fun adventures, trips and doing exciting activities.
The setting is fantastic and has everything the children could ever need, including a big garden with lots of amazing equipment.
I feel so lucky to have found Sarah and I couldn't recommend her highly enough! ❤️
Sally cared for my daughter from the age of 1 for about 2.5 years before she moved onto preschool, and we couldn’t have asked for a more nurturing, caring and responsible childminder.
Sally always made sure my daughter felt safe and happy. She was incredibly patient, attentive and thoughtful, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about the children in her care. I always felt completely reassured knowing my daughter was in such safe and loving hands.
My partner and I are so grateful for everything Sally has done over those couple of years and for the wonderful care she gave our little girl. She played such an important part in her early years. From the fun activities set up throughout the day, to the day trips out, there was never a dull day!
We would wholeheartedly recommend Sally to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring and dedicated childminder.

Helen was an absolute lifesaver for our family! She started as our night nanny when my son was 6 weeks old and suffering from severe colic, completely saving us from sleep deprivation.
She was incredibly punctual, a joy to chat with, and answered all of our questions with a wealth of knowledge. Helen helped us establish an excellent routine for our baby. By the time our son turned three months old, he was able to sleep through the night without bottle feedings. It was amazing when new parents to see such a positive change so quickly!
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Helen for a future role. She would be a tremendous help to any family with a young baby!
Our one-year-old spent time away from us for the first time today, in Eunice’s care. He was incredibly well looked after and seemed very happy and settled throughout. Eunice is fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for better care and will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommended!

Dawn came to help our daughter with her first baby from August to September this year. She instigated our grand daughter into a routine from day one and gave welcome advice and support in getting everyone on track. We nicknamed Dawn 'The Brain' as we just could not think straight and Dawn would provide the answer or the remedy and helped so much with confidence in those early days of a new life being introduced into a busy household.
Our little grand daughter is in a very reliable routine, thanks to Dawn, which has helped everyone so much adapt to life with a new member of the family. My daughter especially benefitted from being able to ask Dawn every question under the sun to help her get started on her journey of being a mother. We would not hesitate to refer Dawn to another expectant Mum.
I cannot recommend Maariyah highly enough! She has been absolutely wonderful looking after my son, Julian, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so caring, kind and trustworthy.
Maariyah has such a lovely, warm nature and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. She is patient, attentive, reliable and always goes the extra mile to make sure Julian feels happy, comfortable and well cared for and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a wonderful babysitter.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Sally highly enough! She provides such a warm, loving and safe environment where my child felt happy, settled and truly cared for. This was a game changer for me as my daughter really struggled separating in the morning but with Sally this became so much easier! Her patience, kindness and dedication could be seen in the fun learning activities and all the trips they went on, as well as how happy and excited the kids always were to be there. Sally is friendly and was great at communicating with us about our child’s development and needs- knowing our child was in such caring and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. A truly wonderful childminder – five stars without a doubt! ❤️
We’ve had help from Fernanda for about 4 years now. My boys absolutely love her. She would go above and beyond to help us find the most comfortable arrangements for the boys. She is very reliable, responsible, fun, proactive. Lots of love and respect for her. Would recommend 100%

A lovely little nursery!
Little Garden Gate is such a lovely, welcoming nursery. I really love the warm, homely atmosphere and the fact that it's a small setting where children get more individual attention and don't feel lost in a big group.
My daughter absolutely loves it there, which makes me so happy as a parent. She enjoys her time there and always feels comfortable. It's lovely to see a nursery that focuses on children's happiness, learning through play and helping them grow at their own pace.
A real little gem in the Kensington/ Notting Hill area. I would definitely recommend it to other parents!
Our toddler loves being with Tulip childminder, she is very professional, kind and the activities are very educational and fun. Flexibility and updates during the day is very comforting. The house is clean, refurbished and safe. Garden is very clean and accessible for children to play outdoor.
Kemi has been caring for my twin boys for the last couple of months and they absolutely love her. She is extremely caring and loving. She plans fantastic activities for them to make sure they are always learning and have things to do. I am completely at ease when Kemi is caring for my boys. She is reliable and trustworthy
It's very hard to leave a short review for someone who had such a huge and positive impact on our youngest boy. We had bec bec as a childminder for almost 4 years and she was literally marvelous. Her home was always so inviting, warm cosy and she really became a friend. She was always wanting the best for our boy and really instilled fundamental manners and early years learning in him. I could never boast about you enough. Good luck in London and you are missed dearly.
We've been sending our two boys to Gully for years, even overnight on occasion. The boys love going there - there are always other kids around and it's a fun environment. We also feel safe leaving the kids with Gully and are confident they are well looked after. Would recommend.
Kat has been our amazing nanny for over three years now. We are moving abroad and wish she could come with us!
She's always been totally reliable, and we feel very safe and comfortable with her looking after both our children. Kat first started looking after our son when he was six months, and he's now over three and a half, and she's also more recently looked after our daughter, who is now one year old.
We'd 100% recommend it to any of our friends.
