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.
My son has been with Angie and Harriet since he was 10 months old and he is now 18 months. At first he really struggled to settle in which was very upsetting but Angie and Harriet didn’t give up on him. One day it just clicked and he then started to not want to leave! He loves it there! I barely get a goodbye most days!
They do lots of arts and crafts, have plenty of toys and activities to do and are attended to properly. Angie is brilliant at giving you regular updates on how their day is going and also writes in a diary everyday so we can get an idea of what he’s been up to.
You can tell that they are very passionate about what they do and love the children almost like family. I trust them to look after our son just as we would and that’s such a rare feeling to have in this society. You can tell they are genuine people that care about your child’s wellbeing and happiness.
We’re so grateful to have found such a lovely place for our son to attend to in his younger years!
Highly recommend Angie and Harriet to anybody locally to Ware they have been amazing!

It was so important to us to find somewhere that would feel like a home from home, for our child. With Jodie, that's exactly what we found. The setting, the care, the adventures! All of them allow for our child to have a seamless transition from our house to Jodie's. The excitement that my child has about going to Jodie's house says it all. His friends are there, the fun is there and Jodie and Mollie are there! He starts his day with a smile, which is all I can ask for, and when it comes to collection, his smile is even bigger and the stories of the day are even better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend sending your child here for their happiness, safety and development!
Oh! You'll know the significance of this one too!! Our child eats EVERYTHING that Jodie cooks. In fact, seconds and thirds are even requested!!
Starting childcare for my 13-month-old was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Mavis is a gentle, kind, and amazing childminder. Who provides a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for the children in her care.
Since starting with Mavis, my child has grown in confidence and is always happy to be there. Mavis keeps me updated throughout the day, and her communication is excellent. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about every child and their development.
I have complete peace of mind knowing my child is in such capable hands. I highly recommend Mavis to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.
I arranged for this nanny with an initial agreement that she would be available for the full month. However, shortly after starting, she informed us she would be unavailable for one week and later continued to provide changing reasons for not being able to attend each week.
Communication was also an issue throughout, with responses significantly delayed or no call-backs at all. I was just told two days earlier that she wouldn't be coming. If once committed to come over, I believe that should be followed unless really important that we were okay with .
How do we trust someone who lacks professional standards and commitments.
My son has been going to Mavis since he was 19 months old, and he is now five years old and still attends after school. From day one, Mavis has been absolutely amazing.
She has cared for him with so much love, patience, and dedication that my son sometimes says Mavis is his second mum. He feels completely at home when he is with her, and that means everything to me as a parent. Over the years, she has played such an important role in raising him, supporting his development, and giving him a safe, happy, and nurturing environment.
My son has also had overnight care with Mavis, and the level of trust we have in her is incredible. Her care truly goes above and beyond, and I have always felt confident that he is in the best hands.
Her charges are very fair for the exceptional care she provides. I am extremely grateful for everything she has done for our family, and I wish her all the very best as she continues to grow and become even more successful.

My son was just over 2 years old when he went to Sam and stayed with her for about 8 months. I was so impressed by the activities Sam did with the children, she takes them out every day to local playgroups, parks and softplays. She was very kind and caring and created a very calm and relaxed environment. I was very sad to leave (due to working hours) and would have been very happy to keep my son with her. Sam sends updates and photos during the day which is incredibly reassuring. My son still talks about Sam. She is truly a wonderful childminder (and a lovely person) and I highly recommend.
Aida cared for our two boys (ages 2.5 and 4.5) for four weeks while we were staying in London, and she was absolutely wonderful. As a family visiting from Miami, FL and new to the city, we were initially nervous about hiring a nanny. Aida immediately put us at ease by providing her background check, first aid certification, and references.
She was always reliable, punctual, kind, and easy to communicate with. During the first week, she spent time with the boys in our flat, creating fun and imaginative games that kept them entertained and happy. They quickly grew to love her and looked forward to seeing her every day.
As we became more comfortable, Aida took them on stroller rides, to the park, and on little outings. She was always respectful of our instructions and checked with us before doing anything new. She even asked permission to buy them ice cream, which they absolutely loved!
What impressed us most was the genuine connection she built with our children. By the end of our time together, we completely trusted her, and the boys were always excited when she arrived. She even made their last day extra special by organizing a picnic at the park, which they loved.
Aida was a pleasure to work with, and we would not hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable nanny.

My daughter has been with Michelle for 2.5 years. It was plain to see from day one, that Michelle showed the children so much love and care. Which was important to us as a family.
Michelle always has a smile on her face and is full of energy in the mornings.
Michelle always provides so many learning opportunities, whether that be within the setting, our out and about.
Michelle provides healthy meals, snacks and a very clean environment.
My daughter can often be shy at times and finds it’s hard to leave me however, Michelle really helped her feel comfortable and it’s great with her in the mornings.

My son absolutely loves it here! He has become so confident with a lot of things since being here, Chloe always greets my son with such care and compassion and every time he’s picked up he beams with a smile. Chloe doesn’t just provide a childcare setting, she provides a loving home, caring environment and understanding to each child needs, skills and abilities.
She provides a true 'home-from-home' environment where our daughter has completely thrived. She is incredibly nurturing, and it’s so reassuring to drop her off knowing she is in a safe hand, loved, care,and happy. We get lovely updates and photos of her crafts and outdoor play
Laura is a gem, who we feel so lucky to have found via this app! She and her home are a warm, safe place and we have no qualms about dropping off with her in the morning.
Our daughter has been going part-time for 3+ years, and is always greeted warmly by Laura’s big, friendly no nonsense personality. Her home and garden are big, comfortable and contained so children can have independence and explore; or alternatively have some downtime and a big Laura cuddle on the sofa when needed.
Laura takes the children in her care into the fold and together ‘the gang’ go out and about the park/town/cafes/soft play, and they have the time of their lives.
Importantly for us Laura is also flexible, responsive/easy to contact and very open.

Vesna has been looking after my son for the past year, since he was a couple of weeks old. As a first time mom, her help and advice was invaluable. She was very warm and caring with our baby, she shared advice when I needed it, checking in even on days she wasn't working.
She ensured our son was exposed to the right toys and activities for his age to help with his development. She gently taught him how to stand, dance to nursery rhymes, walk, play with other children.
When I leave my son with Vesna I know he will be well taken care of, he will have fun and I can focus on whatever I'm doing without worrying.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Vesna as a nanny.
I cannot recommend Maloryn highly enough. Maloryn has been absolutely incredible with our daughter, providing not only attentive and reliable care but also genuine warmth and affection every day she is with us. It is clear that she truly loves what she does, and that shows in the way she engages, supports, and nurtures our child.
One of the things we value most about Maloryn is her ability to speak both English and Spanish with our daughter, which has been a wonderful added benefit for her development. Another very special thing is that our daughter always gets excited to see Maloryn every Thursday, which says a lot about the lovely bond and positive dynamic she has created. She creates a safe, happy, and stimulating environment, always going above and beyond to ensure our daughter is well cared for. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
Tabassum and her family have looked after our 2yo son (full time) and our 4yo daughter (PM) for 18 months or so. They are a very loving family whom my children adore. We get regular updates every day and they have always responded well whenever we’ve queried things. We would / and have recommend them highly.

Since my three children started with Dee, they have received a warm and positive welcome from day one. She has always been clear about her expectations and has created a caring and supportive environment for the children.
Our son was 17 months and not walking when he joined and quickly learned to walk about 6 weeks of attending her setting, which was a wonderful milestone for us to share. Dee creates a lovely atmosphere and encourages the children to celebrate birthdays together, helping them build friendships and feel part of a community.
She provides a full handover at collection each day and always asks questions where needed to ensure the best care for the children. Dee has high standards and great expectations when caring for children. The activities she provides, such as singing, tidying up together, painting, and other creative experiences, are fantastic, and the children love bringing their artwork home.
Millfield Montessori is a wonderful setting, and my children genuinely love attending. If one of them arrives upset or has a difficult moment, Dee always goes above and beyond to comfort them and make sure they have a happy and enjoyable day.
Thank you, Dee, for all that you do.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Aimee. From the very beginning, she made both us and our girls feel completely at ease. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for every child in her care, and the loving, welcoming environment she creates is truly special.
Aimee always plans a variety of fun, engaging activities and adventures, helping the children learn, grow, and gain confidence while having an amazing time. The girls come home full of stories about their day and are constantly learning new things.
One of the things we love most is receiving the daily diary updates and lots of photos. It’s so reassuring to see what the girls have been up to and how much fun they’re having.
Our girls absolutely adore Aimee and her children, and they’ve also built wonderful friendships with the other children she looks after. They are always excited to go in the morning and often run straight through the door without even looking back! When we collect them, they regularly ask when they can come back again, which says everything about how happy they are there.
We never have to worry when our girls are with Aimee. We know they are safe, happy, well cared for, and having the best day possible. The love, patience, and dedication Aimee shows every day are evident in how much the children thrive in her care. We couldn't recommend Aimee highly enough and are so grateful to have her as such an important part of our girls' lives.
As a first time mom it was a bit difficult to find a proper childminder for my son. I’ve seen some settings and I’ve been really disappointed with what I’ve found. Just normal houses which were not even clean with some toys on the floor and that was all.
When I first saw the Little Steps Childcare and Education setting I told myself “Finally, I’ve found the perfect place for my son”. The house is like a nursery. It is very clean and has different rooms according to children’s ages. It also has a nice and safe garden where children can play.
I highly recommend Esther, the childminder in charge of Little Steps for her love and dedication to children. I could see that she and her assistants work from heart and my son feels safe, loved and looked after. She is a lovely and understanding person who is always ready to help regardless of the situation. I was really impressed when she told me “it’s not just business, we are here to help each other”. I don’t know who would have said the same unless they had had something to benefit from.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your child, she is the perfect choice. You will not be disappointed!
