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 have been hiring Gaea since our baby was just 9 weeks old, and she has been truly amazing.
She is warm, professional, caring, and always smiling.
We highly recommend her to everyone even those with very young babies. She is really great with them.
We are so happy we found her! 👍🏼

We've been really happy with the support Clare has provided for our 7-year-old son.
Right from the start, she was proactive and took the time to understand his school curriculum, asking for details about what he was covering in class so she could tailor her lessons accordingly. That gave us confidence that the tutoring would complement what he was learning at school rather than just following a generic programme.
Clare is patient, friendly and great at keeping children engaged. Our son enjoys his sessions with her, which is half the battle! We've seen a noticeable improvement in both his confidence and his English skills, particularly with reading comprehension and written work.
She's always reliable, well-prepared and genuinely cares about helping him progress. We'd happily recommend Clare to any parent looking for a tutor.
Jamie tutored my son for his Nat-5 examinations in English, Maths and sciences. During his time with Jamie, my son gained lots of confidence and became confident in class with putting his hand up to ask questions and seek assistance from the teacher when he was wrong. He made lots of progress and I am very happy!
Kasia has been looking after my 22 month old boy for nearly a year and we've had such a great experience. She's warm and nurturing in her nature and our son settled in very quickly to a routine. Her home is a beautiful and calming environment for kids to engage in creative play. We get regular updates through the day, meal times are well planned and organised, and additional activities are also scheduled in the week for extra variety. Our boy is there full time and absolutely loves it. Can't recommend enough!

I was searching for a long time trying to find the right person/setting for our twin boys and I knew instantly that Tudor Tots was that place!
My boys feel happy and comfortable with Aimee, and they have definitely had a huge development leap since starting. We always receive lovely photographs and a thorough outline of their day. Aimee is approachable and really happy to support in any way she can. It is also wonderful knowing we can drop the boys off and not have to stress if we have forgotten anything as she has it all ready to go - puddle suits, wellies, sunhats, spare clothes to name a few! We would 100% recommend her.
I contacted Luiyana very last minute requesting support for my 1 year old daughter due to another childminder cancelling on me. Luiyana was very supportive and welcoming, she has a caring energy about her and I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in her care despite having met for the first time. She has a lovely clean home and the other children in her care looked really happy and relaxed. She gave me updates during the day which I appreciated too. I will definitely be coming back in the future if needing support with childcare 😊

Laila is a reliable and punctual babysitter who currently looks after my child. She communicates well, is always on time, and follows instructions carefully. My child is comfortable with her, and I appreciate her calm and caring approach. I am very happy with her support and would gladly recommend her to other families.
I have used Elaine since my son started in P1, and he will be leaving primary school this year to go to high school.
Oliver has really enjoyed his time with Elaine and has always been made to feel welcome, included and well cared for. As he has got older and I have been working from home, Oliver doesn’t go as often now , but he still sees Elaine and her family out and about. They always look out for him when he is playing outside to make sure he is safe and well. She will always have a special place in our hearts , and I hope Oliver makes the effort to pop in and keep in touch with Elaine over the years .
I would have no hesitation in recommending Elaine , knowing your child would be well cared for and would build a lovely relationship with her .
We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder . Elaine is generous with her time and attention to the children , and we would love to invite her to see my son off from primary school on his last day , as it would mean a lot to him for Elaine to be there . Thanks for everything !
I really appreciate Tanisha as she was my very first babysitter for my firstborn, she did an incredible job for my baby girl, always available when i needed, very caring and attentive, even buying her little clothes when she needed it or i forgot to bring a change. I trusted her out and about with my baby and she always kept a very safe and clean home for her to play in. As she already has a child it was so easy for me to trust her as i can see her experience and know she has already done an incredible job raising her son. She would always keep my mind at ease with updates throughout the day and a detailed diary of everything my baby was doing. I highly recommend her!

When I first moved to the area and was looking for a childminder, I saw Kaye at school with the children she was minding.
I saw her approach, her kindness, her undivided attention on the children and I knew straight away that she was the person I wanted caring for my children.
We have been with Kaye for 4 years now, and we love her. My girls love going to her house, they have so much fun and always bring home lovely art. Kaye isn’t just a childminder, she is very much a friend of the community.
We’ve been using Hayley’s services since 2024 and she’s been an absolute godsend. Both of our children are neurodivergent (14 and 12), and she handles everything with such ease and warmth that they genuinely look forward to her being here — they’ll come downstairs and just hang out with her, which tells you everything.
She gets them out of the house, keeps them happy and entertained, and frankly does a better job of that than we do. She’s flexible, communicates brilliantly, and is just a really lovely person to have around.
Highly recommended, without hesitation.
Wendie is a trustworthy, caring, and easy-going childminder who has an excellent rapport with children and treats each child as an individual.
Our daughter, Mia, started attending Wendie’s since her first birthday. Thanks to Wendie’s warm and personalised approach, Mia settled in very quickly and felt comfortable from the very beginning. Wendie is incredibly creative in planning engaging and enjoyable activities for the children, ensuring that every day is fun and stimulating.
She provided us with invaluable support when Mia was learning to eat solid foods and was also very helpful during the potty-training process. Throughout every stage of our daughter’s development, Wendie offered guidance, encouragement, and understanding.
Mia always came home happy and content, which gave us great peace of mind. We knew that she was safe, well cared for, and genuinely enjoying her time with Wendie every single day.
We are extremely grateful that we chose Wendie to care for our daughter and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare. She is truly one of the best childminders you could hope to find.
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Nina. Transitioning a child from home to an external environment for the first time is always daunting for parents, but we felt an immediate sense of relief knowing the decades of experience Nina brings to her role. It is truly rare to find someone you love and trust so completely with your child, and we treasure her deeply.
Nina’s standard of care is unmatched. She keeps our son spotless throughout the day—a stark contrast to a brief experience at another nursery where he constantly returned with food and paint on his clothes. In an entire year with Nina, this has never happened once. Furthermore, when our son needed extra care due to illness or a stubborn chapped lip, Nina went above and beyond to give him the attentive, comforting focus he needed.
Our son has thrived under her care. We love that he is exposed to a diverse age range, learning immensely from interacting with both older and younger children. He frequently brings home lovely crafts, and remarkably, he has learned all of his spoken English during his time with Nina, as we speak a different language at home.
Nina is extremely punctual, reliable, and works incredibly hard, always putting the children's needs first even during personal emergencies. She is highly attentive to parents' schedules and has offered us immense flexibility with meals—graciously accommodating both home-packed lunches and providing meals herself when our circumstances changed.
Nina’s entire family is lovely. They support one another, and we have built wonderful relationships with other family members who have kindly helped us out with other things we needed done.
Even as Aarav moves on to the next stage of his development and schooling, we very much wish to continue our relationship with Nina during the school holidays, if availability allows. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
I am one who is very picky when it comes to who I leave my child with. I am always worried and anxious but since I started using Bearhugs home Nursery, it has been a whole new experience for me.
I get updates (pictures and videos) of all child does and even saw a great improvement in my child’s communication and social skills.
I was greatly impressed and always looking forward to my son going there.
I am at peace whenever I am away and my son is at Bearhugs because Erica takes care of my son even more than I will as his mother.
I am super grateful for our paths crossing.
Making the decision to choose someone to care for your children is up there with one of the hardest as a parent.
You want someone who is going to nurture your children and care for them as much as you do. Making the decision to return to work was so daunting for me until I found Kathryn, dropping my daughter knowing she was safe and happy everyday made it so much easier. Kathryn is so much more than a childminder she became part of our life the care provided was explicit and I will be forever grateful for all the support for both my children and us as a family. My daughter still talks about Kathryn and the core memories made while she was in her care, to me that speaks volumes. I would recommend Kathryn every time she really is one of a kind!
I met Teecee a couple of months before I was due to return to work, and as a nervous first-time mum, the thought of leaving my baby with someone else was heartbreaking.
From the moment I met Teecee at her beautiful home, I felt completely at ease. She cares for my son exactly as I would, providing him with the same love, warmth, and attention that he receives at home. Teecee is kind, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I trusted her almost instantly, which is something that does not come naturally to me.
She keeps me updated throughout the day with regular photos and messages, which constantly reassures me that I made the right decision. Most importantly, my son is happy, settled, and exceptionally well cared for.
I cannot recommend Teecee highly enough. If you are looking for a loving, home-from-home environment where your child will be cared for as if they were part of the family, I would encourage you to arrange a visit. Meeting Teecee was one of the best decisions I made for both myself and my son
