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.
Laura has been an incredible childminder, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She has created such a warm, caring and nurturing environment, and my son genuinely loves spending time with her. Every day is filled with fun activities and adventures, and he comes home excited to tell me all about what they’ve been doing. The progress he has made since being in Laura’s care has been amazing. His vocabulary and communication skills have developed so much, he has become much more confident expressing himself, and he seems to learn something new almost every day. She has also encouraged his creativity, and it has been lovely to see skills like drawing develop through her support and patience. Laura provides healthy, enjoyable snacks and clearly puts a lot of thought into helping the children learn and thrive. She is kind, patient, flexible and genuinely cares about every child she looks after. The personalised Christmas gifts she gave the children were such a thoughtful touch and showed how much she cares. We are so grateful to have found Laura. She has played such an important role in our son’s development, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a caring, dedicated and trustworthy childminder.

Mags looks after my daughter often and has created a beautiful relationship with her. My daughter always asks about her and loves being around her, she was able to understand bedtime, bath time and meal time routines so easily and follows them perfectly allowing me to feel so happy and safe to leave her with my daughter. She made sure to tell me everything and kept in contact to let me know how everything was going. She is so easy to talk too and so loving and such a beautiful person I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my daughter. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a babysitter

My daughter has been going to Cheeky Chops for 4 years since she was 6 months old and will be leaving Sheila’s to start school this September. My little one loved every single day at Cheeky Chops. Countless happy memories with lots of creative play time, activities and learning new things.
Sheila doesn’t just take it as a job, she genuinely loves kids and really engages to their feeling and she’s full of creative ideas to play for your child’s development.
I do believe my daughter has become such a healthy, happy and imaginative child thanks to her.
Her house has such lovely and homely environment. Good space for kids to play and it’s full of interesting setups and toys, also a clean and safe garden for kids to play in any season.
Sheila’s daughter Lily is also so good with kids. Lily was also one of the reasons why we chose Sheila because you can tell a lot from her how amazing Sheila is as a mum as well.
It will be so emotional to say good bye to Sheila soon as she’s literally been like my daughter’s second mum. We were so lucky to find Sheila as our childminder and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

We are so grateful for the wonderful care our daughter received with Ellen. She has been incredibly kind, caring, and nurturing, and our daughter truly thrived in her setting. We saw her confidence, social skills, and development grow so much during her time there.
She created a warm, safe, and happy environment, and our daughter always looked forward to going. We couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would highly recommend her to any family. Thank you for everything!
My son has been in Louise and Mimi's care for a couple of months, in which time we've already increased our days at Beverley Brook Childcare and reduced at our traditional nursery. It's so heartening to see the positive impact: the sheer delight when he realises he is on his way to spend the day with Louise and Mimi, the way he now challenges himself and the new language he is experimenting with. Not only do Louise and Mimi take the children on the most wonderful adventures, they have inculcated a warm and inclusive environment for all the children. It's noticeable the care and respect they show their little peers. We couldn't be happier and would encourage curious parents to reach out and see for themselves.
My little boy has only been attending for a few months after school he absolutely loves going and looks forward to going every week, he goes twice a week which he gets collected from school and he has said many times he would love to go more days but unfortunately the availability isn’t there. He loves the combined learning with play, she organises after school activities at different places when available. My little boy couldn’t sing her praises anymore than he does the excitement just bursts out of him when he knows she is picking him up from school
Talitha was amazing with the children. She understood all of our requirements and made sure that everything was done the way we wanted. She was prompt everyday and dropped the kids to school and nursery on time. She handled the school runs and looking after multiple children with ease and confidence. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others looking for childcare.

Christie has been fantastic. Her responses are always prompt, she’s reliable and super professional. My daughter absolutely loves when she comes to mind her, which says everything. I feel completely at ease knowing she’s looking after her. We’ll definitely be using her again.

Sarah looked after both of my boys from the age of 1 and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. Both my children loved going to Sarah's and never wanted to leave! They were always doing something fun and educational ( even though they didnt know it!)
Her setting has a real home from home feel but with all the extras that you dont have at home! From crafts to den building, baking etc there was always something fun to do!
Highly recommend Sarah!
Renu has truly been a second mum to both of my sons, Girik and Harshiv.
Choosing Renu as our childminder was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She cared for both of my boys from the age of one until they started nursery, and her home quickly became their second home.
Renu has a remarkable ability to engage, nurture, and encourage children. Under her care, my boys thrived in so many ways. They developed healthy eating habits, learned new skills every day, and grew in confidence. She especially helped them discover a love for dance and supported them in overcoming their stage fear, which was wonderful to see.
What we appreciated most was the warm, caring, and inclusive environment she created. She celebrated different festivals and traditions, helping the children learn about and respect different cultures. She regularly took them to parks and playgroups, giving them valuable opportunities to socialise, explore, and learn. She also instilled important values such as kindness, good manners, and respect for others.
Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved going to Renu's house every day. They were always excited to see her, which gave us complete peace of mind as parents. The love, care, and strong foundation she provided during those early years have had a lasting impact on them.
We will always be grateful to Renu for everything she has done for our family and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, dedicated, and exceptional childminder.
❤️ Thank you, Renu, for being such a special part of Girik's and Harshiv's childhood.

I feel so grateful, to have met such wonderful staff, and to see how far my child has come , and that all down to muni bugz, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you, for all your support and dedication towards my child, it shows. Absolutely amazing.
Devon had our little girl from 8 months until just after she turned 2. She absolutely loved going from day one to the point she shut the door in my face and wanted to get inside as quickly as possible everyday!! She went above and beyond to ensure she gave her the best time there and so many learning opportunities. She regularly updated me throughout the day which as a first time mom leaving your 8 month old with someone is petrifying. From day 1 I felt comfortable Devon having our little girl, it was just like she was with family! I am so grateful to Devon for everything she has done with our little girl. She has only left the setting due to me taking time out with our second daughter so I will be looking after both myself. I was heartbroken to take her from the setting because of how much she loved it there! I can’t thank Devon enough for everything she has done for our little girl, she really was part of the family. Any child left with her would have the best time and is in the safest hands!
We whole heartedly recommend our incredible nanny, Ella, who cared for our son for over two years from age 17 months. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and wonderfully patient. Ella is knowledgeable about development and perfectly supported our son's introverted sensibilities, helping him build social skills, kindness, and confidence. She has superb judgement with health, allergies, and medical needs, and is a safe, confident driver. Ella has a fantastic local nanny network, keeping our son active and socialised and introducing us to other local families, which was so used as we were new to the area. Even our cat loves her!

Our son has been with Claire for 10 months now. He is so happy there, always arriving with a big smile on his face in the morning! It's clear that Claire and her team provide a really caring and happy environment, tending to the children's individual needs. From the daily updates and photos we can see that Robin and the other children have a lot of fun, with a variety of activities in the home and also on trips out to local parks, soft play, Ashton Court etc. There is a lovely garden divided into separate play areas for different activities, and Robin is always happy to see the rabbit!
As well as all the fun, Robin has developed so much since starting there. He is always coming home with new words and phrases, and has grown in confidence massively.
Claire maintains good communication with parents via WhatsApp for admin updates etc and an app for daily updates. She is always quick to respond to queries and her and the team are always happy to chat about any questions at the end of the day, as well as being flexible with timings if needed.
We're very happy we chose Beautiful Beginnings and are very grateful for the wonderful service they provide!
We have been with Debbie for over five years, and I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough.
She looked after my eldest son, Sarim, for around two years, and now she has been caring for my youngest, Saboor, for the past year. Watching both of my children grow with her care has been such a blessing.
Although we live in Andover and Debbie is based in Ludgershall, we happily make the drive because the trust, love, and care she provides are absolutely worth it. As parents, there is nothing more important than knowing your children are safe, happy, and genuinely loved, and that’s exactly how we feel every time we leave them with her.
Debbie creates such a warm, nurturing, and fun environment. She treats every child with kindness, patience, and genuine affection, and it shows in how excited my children are to see her. She has played such an important role in their early years, helping them learn, grow, and build confidence.
Finding someone you trust with your children is incredibly rare, and we feel so fortunate to have found Debbie. She has become much more than just a childminder to our family, and we are so grateful for everything she has done for Sarim and Saboor over the years.
Thank you, Debbie, for your unwavering care, dedication, and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of our children’s journey.

Catriona is such a natural with children! Currently caring for my 8 year old daughter, I couldn’t have got any luckier it’s like home from home! My daughter clicked with Catriona straight away, she is very maternal and has a real passion for children! I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my daughter 💜
My son has been going to Ms Yogini’s home nursery since he was 11 months old. We were nervous about sending him that young but Ms Yogi was so supportive during the transition. She gave him lots of care and attention, and we felt like he was at his home away from home.
He has learned a lot at Sanskar nursery through Ms Yogi and the other older kids around him. They always do fun, unique activities so the kids enjoy while learning. Ms Yogi spends one on one time with the children to get to know them individually, and gives us specific advice about what we can do at home to help our son develop. She makes a great variety of fresh tasty food every day so lunch time is definitely his favourite time of the day.
We feel very happy knowing that our son is closely cared for in a safe and loving environment. Thank you Ms Yogi!
Ever since my child joined the set-up we have seen a shift in his development. He is more receptive to everything we say and understands instructions at such a young age. The activities Marsh house makes him do, really propelled his interest in books and hygiene which we long struggled to inculcate. He is comfortable and happy outdoors and wants to walk. It is so refreshing to see this version where previously he would eat and sleep more at home than enjoy any of these. He comes back home and tries to tell how his day was with little words he picked from his childminder. Makes us feel very happy and secure regarding the daycare choice we made.Marsh house is absolutely the best decision we made.
Right from the start our daughter who is 4 warmed immediately to Casey. Lara loves Casey! We are mainly using Casey’s childcare services and also some babysitting which has all been so great. Casey has a natural warmth, enthusiasm and passion for children which is evident in how she comes across. Always plenty of activities and fun ones/ educational too from playing in the garden; indoors work and baking too! Our daughter always returns to us happy, even more chatty and asks when she is seeing Casey again! We feel very lucky to have found her and hope to continue to use as much as we can. Highly recommended.

Our daughter spent almost 3 years with Devon and I couldnt sing her praises any higher. She creates a warm, friendly and educational setting for the children to develop and grow safely. We have used other childcare providers and cannot even begin to compare. The communication and daily updates with pictures is so lovely to recieve, her home is safe and welcoming with a variety of toys and planned activities. Most of all the development in our daughter shines above all, she has been made to feel safe and confident to take risks. So many of the activities are educational which has meant that our daughter is ahead of all her peers in her new setting. I would highly recommend Devon as a minder, as a family we feel very lucky to have had her in our lives and we are very sad that this era is over!
