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 are so grateful that we discovered Anna and hired her to care for our 11-month-old son, she was an amazing caregiver and a wonderful, joyful presence to have in the house. We're first-time parents and have never hired a nanny before, so we weren't sure what to expect, but Anna was incredibly professional and joyful. I am still in awe of how much attention she was able to give our son throughout the day, she just genuinely loves kids. Our visit to England really would have been impossible without her. Whenever we visit she will be the first person we call, she feels like part of the family!
In addition to caring for Geordi and cooking him delicious baby meals, she also volunteered to babysit for us on many evenings so we could enjoy grown-up time in the city. That was also a big part of what made our trip so enjoyable. Overall, we just loved Anna, and we can't really imagine hiring anyone else to look after our baby.

Nagina has been our nanny since April this year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing and has become an invaluable part of our family.
She takes exceptional care of our children, ensuring they are always happy, safe, and well looked after. She is kind, patient, and genuinely cares for them, and they absolutely adore her.
What truly sets Nagina apart is that she goes far beyond the role of a nanny. She prepares wonderful, home-cooked meals for the whole family, keeps the house running smoothly, and always looks after all of us with so much care and dedication. Her support has made such a positive difference to our lives.
She is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and has never missed a day of work. Knowing that our children are in her capable hands has given me complete peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my job. I genuinely don’t think I would have been able to continue working without her support.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nagina. She is trustworthy, hardworking, caring, and truly one of a kind. Any family would be fortunate to have her, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.
My twins attended Lakshmi’s setting four four months , starting at 19 months old.They settled remarkably well from the very beginning , thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.Every morning they went in with smiles, which says everything about the care they received.Throughout their time there, they developed strong social skills , enjoyed daily activities and were consistently happy to attend.Lakshmi and her team provides a nurturing, well -organised environment where children feel secure and supported.
She has been looking after my daughter since April, and as a first-time experience leaving her with someone other than my own parents, I was incredibly anxious and nervous.
From the very beginning, she made us both feel comfortable and reassured. She is such a caring, kind, and attentive childminder, and the difference I’ve seen in my daughter has been amazing. She is absolutely thriving.
She’s been so supportive, not only with my daughter’s development but also by giving me helpful advice on healthy eating and sleep routines. She regularly takes her to playgroups where she gets to socialise with other children, and I’ve seen such a positive change in her confidence and engagement.
One of the biggest improvements has been with her eating. Before starting, she struggled with food, but now she’s eating so much better, which has been a huge relief for us.
The best sign of all is how happy my daughter is. She gets excited whenever she sees her childminder, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing she’s happy, safe, and well cared for. Even during the school holidays, we’ve stayed in touch, which really shows how much she genuinely cares.
As working parents, finding someone we could trust with our daughter was one of the biggest decisions we’ve had to make, and we’re so grateful we found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and dedicated childminder. She has made such a positive difference to our family.
We used Little Diamonds for my first and only son from an early age, as I am self-employed and needed to get back to work early.
Kirsty is a complete delight and so supportive with caring for our son and helping him develop in all areas. She is professional, warm, caring and you can see that all the children love her and the setting she has created. My son particularly loves being outdoors so it's great to have the large garden at hand and not to mention the little outings they organise.
Kirtsy was always great at giving a full de-brief of the day, including photos and comms throughout the day if required. My son loved being there and was sad to leave, but never the less I'm so happy Kirsty was part of my son's journey and story at such an early stage.

My son attended playaway childcare for over a year and he had a great experience. The staff was really friendly and supportive. My son made some great friends and he learnt so much through play.
I would highly recommend them!
Debbie has been an incredible childminder, and I can't recommend her highly enough. My daughter has been in Debbie's care regularly from just 6 months old, and has only recently finished at 4½ years old as she prepares to start Reception.
From day one, Debbie has treated my daughter like one of her own. She has always provided a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where my daughter has felt safe, happy, and loved. Knowing she was with someone who genuinely cared for her gave me complete peace of mind.
Over the years, Debbie has played such an important role in my daughter's development. She has encouraged her confidence, independence, and social skills, and has helped prepare her with all the right foundations for starting school. It's clear how much thought and effort Debbie puts into helping every child thrive.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Debbie, and she has truly been a blessing to my family. I will always be grateful for the love, care, and support she has shown my daughter over the years. I would absolutely recommend Debbie to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated childminder.

Tina, Carol and Eloise have looked after my 2 children over the past 7 years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I couldn’t have asked for better people to care for my children.
Both of my children have loved their time here and have learnt so much. I was so happy with the care they received that I chose to keep both of them here instead of moving them to nursery, as I knew they would do so much better.
They always go above and beyond, creating such a caring, supportive and fun environment. I love the daily diary, which lets me see everything they’ve been up to each day. They also create beautiful profile books filled with the children’s work and wonderful photo albums. I still look back through my oldest child’s profile, and they are memories I’ll treasure forever.
I will always be grateful for everything they’ve done for my family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff were so kind, reassuring, and supportive, which made settling our daughter in so much easier. They always made sure she felt happy, comfortable, and included, and it was wonderful to see how much she enjoyed her time there.
Knowing our daughter was happy and well looked after gave us real peace of mind. We are so grateful for everything they’ve done and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and welcoming place for their child.
Gants Hill Playgroup has been an amazing experience for my daughter Freya all of the teachers are wonderful and care for the children like their own. My daughter has learnt so much including how to write her own name and short sentences. She has learnt a bit about the world we live in and has made some wonderful friends. If you are thinking about sending your child to this nursery then you absolutely should! I feel my daughter now has a great headstart before starting school in September! Thank you for everything you have helped my daughter grow so much! Special thanks to Dawn, Leena, Nuzhat, Nihan, and Sabrina. Xxx

Over the last 4 years Furdosa, and her team, have looked after both of my boys - both within a wider childminder environment and also at her house.
Furdosa and team provide a safe and loving environment for the children, with tasty home cooked meals and lots of stimulating activities. The kids are often outside and have very wholesome days - =going to places such as Stepney City Farm, Mile End Park, the library, soft play at Mile End Leisure Centre and various Children Centres.
She has a loving, welcoming personality - the children absolutely adore her and start and end their day with happiness.
We would highly recommend Furdosa to any family looking for a loving and reliable childminder and just want to say thank you very much Furdosa!

Maria and her team looked after both of my little boys for 2 years each. They had a wonderful time with her - always running into her house happy and leaving happy.
The kids spend lots of time playing outside and visit lots of fun local places - like Stepney City Farm, Victoria Park, Mile End Park and Mile End Leisure Centre.
Our children made lots of good friends at Maria's and they're all still friends today - all testament to the wonderful environment she cultivated.
I will forever be thankful for the care that Maria showed to my children - looking after them like they were her own. Thank you Maria, Carlos, Noel, Christopher, Matthew, Furdosa and Hannah.
I highly recommend!

Lisa and the team have been amazing childminders for my three girls over the years. From early years care for my daughter who is now going into school to after school care for my older girls.
My youngest has benefited from a varied and active early years setting where she has learnt all the skills required to get her ready for school while making some lovely friends.
The choice of activities is great for after school and they always come out happy and fulfilled.
I would recommend precious oaks childcare to any parent.
Becky is Fantastic childminder! Caring, reliable, and professional. Our child loves attending, enjoys the activities, and has learned so much. We highly recommend Becky to anyone looking for quality childcare.
Clare has been looking after my 2 x 4 year old (boy / girl) twins since Sept 2025 and I couldn't be more pleased that we found her! She has been wonderful with the kids and has really helped develop them at a key stage in their lives. They are always doing fun things, like going to the playground after school or going on picnics or adventures. Clare was also kind enough to drop the kids off to Squirrels on a Monday so that we don't have to. Her setting is clean and well catered for kids of all ages and has a lovely spacious garden that the kids have enjoyed playing in over summer. Couldn't ask for more from a childminder really and we wish her all the very best. Thank you for all that you have done for us - we will miss you, Ted and Max!

I found Jusna at a time where I was let down by another child minder. She agreed to take on my daughter who was then just over a 1 year old. Going back to work after maternity and leaving my baby was a really difficult decision for me however looking back now it was the best decision for our little girl. Jusna made the transition effortless my daughter bonded with her instantly, Jusna has an effortless calm energy and that trickles on to the children in her care. My daughter loved attending she would go to the library and park weekly and to local stay and play groups. We received regular pictures and updates on how Laylas day is going.
I am so grateful to have had my daughter in Jusna’s care our daughter has moved on to nursery but still misses and talks about ‘aunty’.
Thank you for everything you have done for us as a family.
Maria has looked after our two girls, Matilda (5) and Amelia (3), for almost two years, and we honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. From the start she’s been exceptionally organised and completely reliable. In nearly two years she has never once let us down, and when we’ve had last-minute changes to our plans she’s taken them in her stride without a fuss.
What has stood out most is her confidence. She thinks nothing of taking both girls out on proper adventures, trains, buses, days out, and she manages the two of them with real ease. As any parent of two young children knows, that’s no small thing. We’ve always felt completely comfortable knowing they were with her.
The girls adore her, which tells you everything. We have never had a single concern in the whole time she’s been with us. The only reason we’re saying goodbye is that we’re relocating, and truthfully we’re not sure how we’ll manage without her.
Maria has been our Nanny for over a year now, and was with me from the moment my little girl was born last April as well as helping me with my eldest who is four.
Maria has been an absolute life line. There is no one in the world I trust with my children more than Maria. Her care for my baby has been first class and she has treated her like her own daughter. I was often amazed how Maria could get my baby to sleep when I could not. I have also learnt a lot about looking after children from Maria, she is incredibly experienced.
There is no task that Maria will not take on. She is incredibly proactive and just comes in to my house and knows what to do. She has a great attitude and often makes me laugh.
Her cooking is amazing. Both my children love her food as do we.
Her standard is incredibly high, and I do think anyone would be challenged to find a better Nanny than Maria.
We are hoping to keep Maria on part time moving forward, and that another family will have her - a nanny share essentially - and I would be happy to speak to anyone that interviews her.
