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.
Jill worked as our part-time nanny for several months, prior to our son starting school, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Our son has complex needs including Autism involving significant speech and language delay, sensory processing difficulties and no awareness of danger — requiring constant 1:1 supervision, particularly outdoors.
At the time of Jill starting with us, our 4yo son was unable to use sentences, causing him frustration and his words needed a lot of 'decoding' and guesswork to understand his wants and needs. He also has a couple of medical conditions requiring daily medication and swallowing difficulties, all requiring careful/close monitoring. Jill handled all of this with remarkable calm, patience and kindness, consistently applying his communication strategies, managing his medical needs confidently, and keeping him safe at all times, including out in the community.
As his mother I live with cancer and having someone we could trust completely was essential. Jill gave us that without question alongside plenty of empathy and humour. We think so highly of her that she has continued as our babysitter since her nanny role ended. Our son loves her dearly.

We couldn’t be happier with Claire! Both of my children attend, and they absolutely love it there. They are always happy, well cared for, and excited to go each day.
Claire is kind, caring, and trustworthy, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the children. Knowing my kids are safe and happy gives me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to any parent.
Our daughter has been in Nicola's care since she was just 15 months old, and watching how much she has grown, developed and thrived during that time has been incredible. As parents, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is happy, safe and genuinely cared for.
Nicola has created such a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment where the children can learn through play and exploration. One thing we particularly appreciate is that she doesn't rely on screens to entertain the children. Instead, they spend their days being creative, learning new skills and making the most of her fantastic outdoor space.
Every single day during term time, Nicola takes the children to local playgroups, giving them wonderful opportunities to socialise, build confidence and take part in a variety of activities. It's a fantastic part of their routine and something our daughter has absolutely loved. During the school holidays, Nicola goes above and beyond by organising trips to parks, soft play centres and other exciting outings, ensuring the children are always active, engaged and making wonderful memories. She truly makes every day an adventure.
We have also relied on Nicola to care for our eldest daughter during the school holidays, and she has always welcomed her with the same warmth, enthusiasm and care. It speaks volumes about Nicola's abilities that she is just as brilliant with older children as she is with little ones. She has a wonderful way of engaging children of different ages, making them all feel included, valued and excited to be there.
She has also been incredibly accommodating and understanding when it has come to supporting us around our work commitments. Her flexibility and willingness to help have made such a difference to our family, and we are so grateful for her support over the years.
Above all, Nicola is completely dedicated to the children she cares for. She genuinely treats them as if they were her own, and it shows in everything she does. Our youngest daughter has flourished under her care not only in her confidence and independence but also socially and emotionally. Nicola has played such an important role in shaping her early years, and we truly believe she has given her the very best start in life.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nicola and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy and exceptional childminder.
Thank you, Nicola, for your endless kindness, dedication and love. You are truly one in a million, and every child would be lucky to have you.
My daughter has been attending this wonderful setting since she was 18 months old, and she absolutely loves her time here. The environment is incredibly positive, educational, and engaging.She gets to experience so many fantastic activities, from brilliant messy play and painting to enriching sensory play. I also love that she is regularly taken out for fun adventures at local parks and soft play centers.
Communication is always lovely, seamless, and quick; any questions or queries I have are answered almost instantly. I am also regularly updated about her eating, sleeping, and potty times, which makes it so easy to keep track of her activity throughout the day. Most importantly, Satnam is incredibly observant with my daughter and truly understands her needs. I couldn’t ask for a better, more supportive childminder. Highly recommended!

Monika has been great caring for my 3 year old daughter who has allergies and ezcema. My daughter gets on very well with Monika. Monika is always on time and professional. Monika has been caring for my daughter for around 5 months now. I would definitely recommend her to other parents. Monika engages my daughter well, they often plays games l, go to the park and read books.

Fatema is an angel in human form. Her kind is rare. The care she gives to my kids is amazing. She is considerate and flexible to suit the needs of the family. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thanks for being amazing Fatema❤️
My 2 boys have absolutely loved Jos and her family childcare services. From the very beginning, Jos has provided a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where my children have felt happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They have a large homely environment where my both boys grow and explored what made the settling process so much smoother. Jo family is DBS checked and it gives me a peace of mind before I braught my children under there care. boys enjoy a wide range of activities like playing in the garden and have built great relationships with Jos, her family, and the other children in her care. It gives us real peace of mind knowing they are in such capable and caring hands.
Oh Umay! What a wonderful minder she is to my little one . He started with her when he was 9months old . Now he his 21months and he looks forward to going there everyday. You definitely do not want your child somewhere else other than with Little cubs ! She knows my son so wells. Follows routine strictly . Clean Environment , Lovely Minder !
Our 2-year-old has been with Christine since he was 10 months old, and he absolutely loves going to her house to play. He runs up to her door for a hug and happily waves goodbye to me, which says everything about how comfortable and secure he feels in her care.
Christine provides a wide variety of activities, including arts and crafts, themed projects, and regular trips out. There is a dedicated playroom, which is well equipped and she provides nutritious, home-cooked meals and snacks.
My older children also love spending time with Christine after school and during the holidays. She collects the boys from school and always puts a great deal of thought into planning activities around their current interests, which keeps them engaged and excited.
Christine has been incredibly flexible, often providing ad hoc childcare at short notice or on days she would not normally work. She has also been very understanding and accommodating when the boys have been unwell, which has been a huge support to our family.
Christine is warm, caring, patient, and understanding with the children, and they have formed a genuine bond with her. Knowing they are in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment gives me complete peace of mind.
In all the time we have known her, Christine has been exceptionally reliable and has never taken a day off sick. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I found Miri on this site to look after my friend's 13m old girl when they were visiting from the USA, whilst we all went out for the day. Miri was exceptional from the moment I contacted her. She is warm, bubbly and the child immediately liked her. The parents were very comfortable leaving their child with Miri, who stayed in constant communication throughout the day. I have already recommended her to friends and neighbours in the area and would not hesitate to use her again in future.
Wr decided to go with Harley assuming it was right fit to care for 1yr old boy and it was perfect choice.
She did a fantastic job keeping him entertained, engaged, and happy the entire time.
Even when he was napping, she didn't just sit around. She sorted out his toys, cleaned up, and made sure his lunch set-up was ready for when he woke up, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
She is proactive, caring, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and lovely childcare provider.
She always sends me photos and updates of my daughter throughout the day which you don’t get with most nurseries. 🤍

I cannot recommend this nanny highly enough. She looked after my 3 month old baby and was absolutely amazing from start to finish.
She was always punctual, reliable, and incredibly professional. Most importantly, she was kind, caring, and so loving towards my baby. Every time I checked in, my little one was content, cuddled in her arms, or enjoying playtime with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated my baby as if they were her own.
One thing that gave me great peace of mind was that she was completely comfortable with me monitoring through our nanny cam. Her transparency and confidence in the care she provided were very reassuring.
As a mum with three other children, my house can get quite messy and the kitchen wasn't always spotless. Without ever being asked, she was proactive and would help clean while the baby was sleeping, which was such a huge help and very much appreciated.
She also kept a detailed diary via WhatsApp throughout the day, updating me on milk feeds, nappy changes, naps, and anything else I needed to know. The communication was excellent and made me feel connected and informed at all times.
She is such a lovely young lady with a warm, nurturing nature, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care. I was genuinely sad that I couldn't continue using her services due to timing and scheduling issues on my end. If circumstances were different, I would have happily kept her on.
I will definitely be using her again in the future and would recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable nanny. Thank you for everything Bushra ❤️
Alex was an excellent tutor for my children. She was innovative in her approach and always tailored her sessions to meet their individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
I have two children, aged 6 and 3, and my youngest has speech production difficulties. Alex took the time to understand their strengths and areas for development, creating engaging activities that were specifically designed to support their learning and communication needs.
Her sessions were interactive, personalised, and effective, and I could see the progress my children were making. She was patient, encouraging, and built a great rapport with both children. I would highly recommend Alex to any parent looking for a tutor who genuinely adapts her teaching to each child’s unique needs.

Our son Theo has been attending since last September, and at 1.5 years old, he’s thriving with Kate, Flavio and Natalia. He’s always excited to go in the mornings and comes home happy every day. We’ve seen lovely progress in his confidence and social skills.
The home-cooked meals are excellent, and he really enjoys the activities and playing with the other children (and Bobbi the dog!). The whole team is caring, communicative, and flexible, which gives us total peace of mind.
We feel very lucky to have found them and would highly recommend Kate and her family.
We recently started childminding with Delia for our 15 month old daughter following a sadly poor experience with another childminder. We were initially worried that our daughter may find it difficult to settle in with any childminder but Delia put those fears to bed within the first day. Delia gave our daughter everything she needed to settle and be happy within minutes, and within the first week we were doing full days with no trouble at all. We are extremely pleased with the high standard of care and professionalism consistently provided by Delia for our daughter and the rest of the children that are under her care. Delia creates a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to develop confidently both socially and emotionally.
Her dedication to supporting our daughter’s individual learning and development is evident in the wide range of well-planned activities and experiences she provides. She demonstrates an excellent understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage and promotes learning through play in a calm and caring setting.
We understand that it's not always possible to send updates, however with Delia, communication with parents is outstanding. We are regularly updated on our daughter’s progress, daily routines, and achievements, which provides us with great reassurance and confidence in the care being given.
Our child has made exceptional progress since attending, particularly in confidence, independence, communication, and social interaction. It is clear that strong relationships are built with both children and families, and every child is treated with warmth, respect, and genuine care. This has enabled our daughter to thrive, and despite delays previously she is now eating, walking and babbling with the best of them!
The setting is consistently clean, organised, and welcoming, with excellent attention given to safeguarding, wellbeing, and healthy routines. We have complete trust in Delia’s professionalism, reliability, and commitment to providing the very highest standard of childcare. Delia also maintains relationships with the parents of the children in her care expertly, and she is seen as both a professional and a trusted friend who will always mention the important things.
We would highly recommend her services to any family and firmly believe she provides outstanding childcare in every aspect. Our move to her care has been genuinely life-changing for us and our daughter, we feel so supported. Thank you so much Delia!
Erica is absolutely incredible! She looked after my boy for almost 2years. Super attentive, caring and reliable. Always goes the extra mile to help in anyway. The setting area is lovely my son loved it all and we are very pleased with the progress he made. Can't thank you enough. Highly highly recommended.
