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 honestly cannot recommend our wonderful childminder highly enough. She has looked after Lily since she was just 10 months old, and from the very beginning she has been nurturing, caring, and so much fun. Lily absolutely adores her and skips in every morning with the biggest smile — which says everything. She has made such lovely friendships and has been given so many rich opportunities to learn, explore and develop through play. Her language skills have come on brilliantly (and as a teacher myself, I don’t say that lightly!). The care, consistency and warmth she provides have had a huge influence on helping us raise a confident, kind little girl who is more than ready for her next stage and nursery. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her — five stars simply aren’t enough.
Bea provides after school pick up and care for our five year old daughter. Our daughter relishes the time she spends with Bea and they do lots of creative and fun games, alongside reading lots of books which our daughter loves. Bea is reliable, caring, punctual and a great communicator and we would definitely recommend her to other families.
We honestly couldn’t ask for better childminders. Even though it’s never easy leaving your small child in someone else’s care, we feel incredibly lucky to have found Michelle and Richard. From day one, they have made our daughter feel safe and loved. It has now been almost a year since we started this journey with them.
The care, attention, and genuine warmth they show every single day are truly incredible. Our daughter absolutely loves going there — she is always happy and smiling when she sees either Michelle or Richard in the morning, which says everything. As parents, there is no better feeling than knowing your child is not only well cared for, but genuinely happy.
The activities are always thoughtful and engaging, and it’s clear how much effort, dedication, and heart they put into everything they do. We trust them completely and feel so fortunate to have found such professional, kind, and dedicated people.
We would recommend Michelle and Richard without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.
We honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder for our daughter over the last 2.5years. From day one, Jenny has provided such a warm, nurturing and safe environment where our daughter has really thrived. We have seen her confidence grow so much during her time with Jenny and it's clear how much care and attention goes into supporting each child as an individual.
Communication has always been excellent and we have had complete peace of mind knowing that our daughter is happy and well cared for. We will be sending our youngest to Jenny later this year which says everything about how much we trust and value her.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Jenny and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable and truly exceptional childminder.
We are so glad we had Avril as our childminder for the past year. She is incredibly caring, not just with the kids but also within the local community.
It’s been such a relief to see our daughter walk in and out of Avril's place so happily. The environment there has a true 'family feel' that made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend Avril to anyone looking for a wonderful, supportive childminder. Thank you for everything, Avril!
Pinky and her assistant Pomo looked after my son every week for 3 years since (7 months old until starting preschool). He thoroughly enjoyed each day at Pinky's, and consistently spoke fondly of Pinky and Pomo. They helped me to bring up a gentle, polite, joyous and humorous child, who has so many fond memories of playing at Pinky's house as well as occasionally going to a playground and a playgroup.
Pinky provides a great variety of developmental and festive activities for the little ones, and she and Pomo strongly supported Oscar's baby-led weaning and early potty training.
If I still lived close enough, I would send my next child to Pinky's because her childcare is inspiringly well-organised, flexible, and joyful. Miss you lots, Pinky and Pomo!

Stockton House was the best start to my boys educational journey. They loved the big garden and grounds used for special treasure hunts throughout the year. The teachers are caring and nurturing and the pre-school set up really does make your child leave ready for big school!
Laura has been an incredible support for my autistic son. Since we started working with her, he has begun expressing himself verbally and is able to communicate his needs more confidently.
We have seen clear improvements in his regulation and independence. Laura comes to every session well-prepared, bringing structured materials and thoughtfully planned activities. She truly knows how to support children in a meaningful and professional way.
My son genuinely looks forward to his sessions with her and is always excited to work with Laura.
We are genuinely grateful to have her supporting our son.
Georgia was our family live-out nanny for two years between 2021 and 2023. Georgia was the best family nanny we ever had, and we had a few. Georgia is kind, reliable, responsible and fun to have around. Georgia took on the roll with confidence. The responsibilities were considerable, including collecting our daughters from school every day in our car, preparing meals, assisting with homework. Beyond this Georgia also became a trusted ‘big sister’ character in their lives, and a welcome addition to the home. We would wholeheartedly recommend Georgia!

Where do I start. From the moment I met this lovely Sandy, I felt instantly welcomed. My little girl has enjoyed going & I always know she is fine. I get regular updates, which as a Mum I love receiving these. I couldn’t recommend this lovely lady enough. I definitely feel it’s like home from home setting & I think it’s important from a parents point of view. A+++

We’re so happy with the care our daughter gets here. She started in May 2025 when she was about 12 months old, and we felt comfortable straight away. The childminder and her two assistants create such a warm, friendly atmosphere — it really feels like a home away from home.
They take amazing care of the children, and our daughter absolutely loves going. There are always loads of fun activities planned, plus trips to soft play and the library, which she really enjoys.
We’re very happy with the service and would definitely recommend to other parents!
Vicky is my son’s childminder and she is nothing short of amazing! Never fails to welcome us with a smile in the morning and the same when I collect later in the day. A lovely homely environment with excellent resources for children of all ages and a beautiful outdoor play area. Vicky attends toddler group and takes the children on outings providing an all round varied, stimulating and very happy childcare setting. I would highly recommend Vicky to anyone looking for a childminder.
Teresa, Honey & Harmony are truly exceptional at what they do. They are caring, fun, kind, reliable, nurturing and endlessly patient… the list really does go on.
The setting itself is fantastic, with so much for the children to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. It’s such a stimulating, welcoming environment. Every day they are doing new fun activities.
My little girl has always been quite reserved and clingy, so I felt incredibly anxious about finding the right childcare for her. I am beyond grateful that we found Honez Childcare. Their patience and understanding made all the difference, we worked together to ensure she settled in smoothly and made the whole transition as stress-free as possible.
Now, she absolutely loves her time there. She is always so happy and excited when I drop her off, and as a parent, I couldn’t ask for more than that. They have exceeded every expectation I had, and I am genuinely so thankful to have found them.
I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. They truly go above and beyond for the children in their care and treat them as if they were their own. Simply the best, without a doubt!
Debbie looked after our one year old and he loved it. She has a wonderful setting with a warm, family feel. Debbie organises lots of activities of all sorts to keep the little ones engaged and entertained. I wasn’t expecting our son to run into the house with excitement, but that’s how every day started. Debbie provides great meals (ideal for a hungry little one), as well as nappies, etc. I’m sorry we were only with Debbie for a few weeks, but would definitely recommend her care to anyone looking for a childminder for their little one!
I was due to start a new job, which felt like a huge and daunting career step for me. On top of that, I had to find someone to care for my children. My eldest is nonverbal, autistic, incredibly bright, an expert escape artist, and a constant worry as he is a real flight risk. The thought of inviting essentially a stranger into our lives to care for my children — especially one so vulnerable — was overwhelming.
I spoke to Becky on the phone initially, and within five minutes all of those nerves simply melted away. I just knew I wanted her to be part of our family and to care for both of my children. When we met in person, that feeling was completely confirmed.
When you employ Becky, she isn’t just an employee — she becomes a friend and part of your family. She is one of the most kind, empathetic, and genuinely wonderful human beings I have ever met. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. The only person I might trust as much — or perhaps just slightly more — would be my own mother.
Becky is an extraordinary person who goes above and beyond anything that is asked of her. She cares not only for your children, but for you as well. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her.
Hilda has babysat for me. I would highly recommend her calm and pleasant demeanour.
Sianne has looked after my two boys since June 2023 (now 3y and 7y) and honestly could not ask for a better childminder. The range of activities they get up to is incredible and am so comforted by the fact that my children see her house as a home from home. They are looked after so well and truly believe she treats them as if they were her own. They both look forward to being at her house every week as they are always up to something fun and my husband and I don’t know what we would do without Sianne in our lives!!

Isoken is truly the best childminder we could ever have for our daughter. She’s wonderful, and our little one is always so excited to spend time at hers. We’re incredibly grateful for the flexibility she offers with our childcare needs. We especially appreciate her focus on play-based learning and the wide range of activities she plans. Our daughter regularly comes home with lovely handmade creations, which we absolutely cherish. The communication is easy and very understanding to parents. We are grateful to have found her.
