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.
Our 14-month-old stayed with Syeda for three months and he had a fantastic time. His sleep cycle improved, his social skills developed, and he now seems more content and settled in his daily routine.
Syeda has a really warm bond with him – he’s always excited to see her in the morning and calm and happy when we pick him up. She and her team keep the little ones engaged throughout the day, so by the time they come home they’re ready for a light dinner and a peaceful night’s sleep.
I would absolutely recommend Syeda and her team.

Our son Jude joined Carol just before he turned 1 and I cannot emphasise what a wonderful time he had with her. She is such a safe pair of hands who I wholeheartedly trust. She is great with Jude supporting him at every stage of his development journey. He so loved being with her and trotted off happily every morning. I couldn't want for more and seriously considering having another child just to have Carol in our life for longer.
Kiana has been a great help to our family over the last few years. She has been flexible with our day to day needs, she is great with the children (now aged 5, 7 & 12) including managing SEN. Her cleaning was an excellent standard. We would unreservedly recommend her.
Claire worked with us from 2nd October to 23rd November 2025, supporting us three nights a week from when our baby was just one week old until she was eight weeks.
The support Claire provided during this period genuinely transformed our experience as new parents. She helped us feel confident, reassured, and able to enjoy those early weeks with our daughter.
Claire’s approach was excellent: she brought a wealth of experience and gentle guidance, while always listening carefully to our wishes and prioritising what was most important to us. Her advice around breastfeeding, expressing, and the introduction of bottle feeding was incredibly helpful and reassuring, and it enabled us to confidently establish a mixed-feeding routine that worked for our family.
The routine Claire introduced was hugely beneficial and created a sense of predictability for our baby that we wouldn’t have achieved on our own. It made life feel more manageable and extended far beyond the nights she was with us: allowing us to get out more, establish a rhythm as a family, and better anticipate our baby’s needs.
Claire is both warm and highly professional, and we always felt completely confident that our baby was in safe, caring hands. As a result, we were able to get some much-needed rest. One of the biggest changes we saw during her time with us was our baby’s sleep: she went from only contact sleeping to sleeping in her basket every night, including on the nights Claire wasn’t here. This transition would have been far more difficult without Claire’s support, and all three of us sleep better because of her.
Claire was consistently punctual, reliable, and communicative. She was always flexible and ready to adapt to our needs each night. If we were ever worried about something, she helped by either identifying issues early or reassuring us with her experience.
We would absolutely rebook Claire in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to any parents looking for expert, compassionate support. She is a genuinely lovely person who made us feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.

We have been working with Ana for almost a year. She started caring for our son when he was about 9 months old and has been an incredible nanny through many milestones and transitions. She is caring and fun and has built a great bond with our son who is always excited to see her. Ana is bilingual which is a great benefit to our son as he’s developing his Spanish and English.
Rifka has been an absolutely wonderful childminder for my son. Her environment is fabulous and truly feels like a second home for him. He is always safe, happy and completely comfortable—just as if he were with his own family. She offers a warm, loving and nurturing setting where he is always excited to go. Her communication is excellent, and she keeps me updated throughout the day with photos and activities.
She is patient, caring, reliable and incredibly attentive to each child’s needs. Choosing her as our childminder has been one of the best decisions we’ve made, and I have complete trust in her. I’m so grateful for the positive impact she has had on my son’s development. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Amy did a great job of babysitting for our 4 year old daughter and 7 month old son whilst we went out for the evening. She put both children to bed with no problems. Our daughter said she would be very happy for Amy to look after her again and especially liked reading books with her before bed.
Had our visit to Little Blossoms this morning and from the minute we set foot inside we had decided this was the place for our daughter. Emma is so welcoming and explained everything thoroughly, our daughter was comfortable straight away exploring and playing with all the toys/books. I’m normally a very nervous parent and it will be the first time leaving her with someone new and I feel very calm and happy about it. And to know she will be looked after well and will have plenty of time out in the fresh air aswell, we really look forward to her start in January!
We feel very lucky to have found such a warm and nurturing setting for our son. Eileen and the team are not just loving they instil great values and behaviours day-to-day. We were so relieved at how quickly our son settled in and felt at home. The team treat babies like babies and are really flexible in their approach in settling in, sleep etc. It's brilliant that they are all out in the fresh air every day. Now my son is beginning to talk I am hearing great reviews about Eileen's homemade healthy food. We get really regular photo updates and a debrief at the door. The team are really creative and expose the children to arts and crafts, cooking etc. Exactly what we were looking for! Thank you.
We had our visit to little blossoms this afternoon and from us walking into the door we knew this was the childminder for our little boy. Isaac loved playing with all the toys and engaged really well with emma. I can’t wait for our little boy to start in January as I know he will enjoy it so much.

My daughter is truly part of the family at Steph’s house. When Steph’s sons are around, they play with her as if she were their own sibling and she absolutely adores them. It’s clear she feels loved, included and completely at home.
Steph’s communication is outstanding. We have a daily communication book where she records everything—what my daughter has eaten from her packed lunch, how long she slept and any other little moments worth noting. It gives us real peace of mind and helps us stay connected to her day.
There are always lots of well-planned activities, including toddler groups, trips to the library and plenty of opportunities for learning through play. Steph is also helping our daughter recognise numbers to prepare her for school, which we really appreciate.
She even celebrates our daughter’s birthday at toddler group with a cake, which is such a thoughtful touch and means the world to us.
In the rare event that our daughter feels unwell or hurts herself, Steph’s communication is prompt, clear and reassuring. We always feel confident that she is in safe, caring hands.
We are incredibly grateful for everything Steph does. She is a wonderful childminder and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Wendy has been looking after our daughter since September and we couldn’t be happier. She has a wonderful setting and does so many engaging and fun activities and outings. She is warm and friendly and the communication about our daughter is great. We are so pleased to have found Wendy and can’t recommend her enough to others.
Abbie has looked after my baby from 9 months to now one years old. She is really great with her and my daughter is at ease with Abbie! I never feel anxious leaving my baby with her, she's fed well, and napped well by the time I get home. Highly recommend!
Our daughter has been with Eileen for almost 2 years, she's now 2 years and 6 months old. From day one, we knew we'd found someone special.
Eileen has supported our daughter through early development. Our daughter is thriving in her learning, loves reading, is kind, caring and loving and Eileen has been a fundamental partner in supporting us and our daughter.
What stands out most is Eileen's genuine care and attention to detail. She takes the children out to the park almost every single day, and on rainy days they're off to sing and dance or soft play instead. If we forget to pack a hat or gloves, Eileen always has spares ready to make sure our daughter is warm and comfortable. It's these little things that show how much she cares.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Eileen's and can't wait to play with her friends each day. The communication is incredible—we receive photo updates every morning and afternoon, so we're always connected to her day and never worry for a second. We have total peace of mind knowing she's in a loving, professional environment where Eileen's team are actively stimulating her learning and supporting her development.
Eileen has created something really special. Our daughter has grown and flourished under her care, and we feel so fortunate to have found them.

Lara watched my one-year old for an evening. We had never met her so she offered to come by the day before for a quick chat. My little one quickly approved of her, trusting her immediately. I had a good feeling, too. Lara is approachable and easy to work with. The evening was smooth. She played with my son as soon as she arrived and she sent us updates throughout the evening. We would definitely choose Lara to watch our little one again!

I cannot speak highly enough of Kofo and her incredible home nursery, First Path Nursery. She cared for my 1-year-old with such warmth, patience, and genuine love that it quickly felt like an extension of our own home. From the very first day, my little one settled in beautifully — a true testament to the safe, comforting, and homely environment Kofo has created.
What makes Kofo exceptional is her passion for supporting each child’s unique development. Her play-based approach is evident in the thoughtful, engaging activities she plans every day. My child came home happy, stimulated, and full of new discoveries — from sensory play to early communication skills. It’s clear that learning through play isn’t just an idea for Kofo; it’s something she implements with care and creativity.
Kofo also goes above and beyond to build strong partnerships with families. She kept me updated with daily notes, photos, and meaningful conversations about my child’s progress. I always felt completely reassured knowing my baby was not only safe, but genuinely valued and understood.
Finding someone you trust with your child is priceless, and Kofo truly provides the highest quality of care. She is warm, professional, attentive, and wholeheartedly committed to giving children the best possible start in life. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I would recommend First Path Nursery to any parent without hesitation.
Kofo is simply amazing — a rare gem in childcare.
