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.
Toyin is a great childminder – caring, flexible, experienced, and a lovely atmosphere. Our little one was with Toyin from a very young age, until we sadly had to move away. She grew so much under her care and we could feel the love she had for her. Our little one was always excited when she reached the door and saw Toyin. I always felt my child was in good hands and had days filled with activities. I highly recommend Toyin as a childminder!
Sophie has been our primary nanny/ baby sitter since the latter half of last year.
Sophia has never let us down, always on time. Flexible and available to work around our needs.
She always turns up with a smile ready to play and entertain the kids.
Couldn’t recommend her enough.
We have had a really positive experience with Twinkle Twinkle Monte Nursery. The staffs are caring, reliable, and genuinely attentive to the children’s needs. My children always felt safe, happy, and well looked after, and I appreciate the regular updates and open communication. Activities were age-appropriate and engaging, and it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into each day. I would happily recommend them to other parents looking for a trustworthy and nurturing environment.
Sheley
I highly recommend Vik She is friendly, kind, and full of energy—perfect for keeping my 3 year old son engaged and happy. She is responsible, communicates really well, and if I message she keeps me updated on how things are going. She tidies up after and genuinely cares about the children she looks after. You can tell she has experience taking care of her own sibling, which really shows in the way she handles everything. While she doesn’t have all formal checks (albeit her volunteer role would of conducted checks) - I completely trust her and feel confident leaving my child in her care.

My son started going to the Lamonts since June 2024. They have provided effective communication during his settling in period which made me feel more at ease during the day. My son now walks into the setting very happily which is so reassuring. Communication is sent regularly and often with pictures of what they have been up to that week, also including the activities they have provided and how this helps their development in a certain area. The Lamonts have also provided detailed development charts and are very welcoming in open conversations that you may have with any developmental concerns.
They are very organised with all paperwork weather that’s their policies or register.
Walking into the setting it’s very homely warm feeling and have been adapted to suit the children in their care.
The Lamonts will often take the children out on their little adventures which is so lovely to see and I know my son really loves exploring different places.
Overall great care, communication and affordable childcare setting which I would recommend.
Louise is a real life super childminder. My son absolutely loves her and her whole family. They made him so welcome from the moment he started at 9 months old 2.5 years ago. Louise always takes them to different playgroups, soft plays and lots of other different activites. My son has achieved so much in the time he has been with her. Louise has created a wonderful home envionment and it is so lovely always knowing my son is so cared for while he is in her care. I know we will all be very sad when that time comes that he has to leave but so many happy memories made for his first few years.
My daughter has been going to Louise for nearly 2 years now. She is a home from home for the children and my daughter absolutely adores her. She is so active with them and they are always out and about doing fun things. Nothing is too much trouble for her and we are kept updated on all the fun things they do. She nurtures the children well and they are all such good friends. Louise made the transition to childcare (for a very anxious first time mum) easy and supportive. I am so glad we found Louise. I can go to work knowing my little girl is having the best time in a safe and loving environment. Any children win Louise’s care are very lucky.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found happy N. She looks after our 2 children regularly and has formed a truly wonderful bond with them - they are always excited for her visits.
N is exceptionally knowledgeable and has helped us navigate illness, behaviour and development. She has all the tricks to deal with bedtime antics and pushing boundaries. Her insight and reassurance have been invaluable.
She is caring, reliable, energetic and genuinely invested in our children’s wellbeing.
I recommend N wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a warm, capable and deeply supportive childcare professional.
If we weren’t moving, Adile would have become a permanent part of our family.
She started looking after our baby boy when he was 4 months old, and he is so happy to see her every time she arrives. We cannot fault her - great communication, punctual, respectful, so caring and nurturing, clean, proactive.
She made a conscious effort to not expose him to screens, and it’s been wonderful to see their bond develop through tummy time, reading stories, walks and lots of cuddles.
I was breastfeeding and occasionally bottle-feeding when I had work calls - Adile always checked which I preferred and was ready with clean bottles to feed our baby when needed.
When we’ve needed a bit of flexibility, it has been so easy to co-ordinate. We even got to have our first baby-free date night thanks to Adile and how much we trusted her.
She is truly a gentle soul and any child would be lucky to have her as their nanny.
Payal has just started tutoring my daughter (age10), and I am very happy. She was on time, responded to all my questions promptly, organised and efficient and more importantly my daughter liked her.
I have booked Payal to continue to tutor my daughter and help get her ready for her SATS tests.
Thank you so much Payal

We felt incredibly lucky to find such an exceptional childminder. Our daughter started with Gemma at 1 years of age and stayed with her untill she started preschool. Gemma is kind, patient, and deeply attentive to each child’s individual needs, creating a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and understood. The children also build wonderful friendships while being in her setting and our daughter has kept these friendships since leaving.
Communication is excellent — we received daily updates and photos, which was always so reassuring and allowed us to feel truly involved in our child’s day. Her photos were so beautiful, we even blew some up and framed them! She plans thoughtful activities and takes the children on outdoor adventures, encouraging them to explore, learn about nature, and build confidence through hands-on experiences. Our child developed a real love for the outdoors and learned so much through these experiences with Gemma. She would teach them about different types of wildlife, insects, animals looking at different types of trees, leaves, and what grows on them, and would then read stories to support this. My daughter loved all the activities Gemma did, indoors and outdoors, she always talked about them on the way home and what a lovely day she had. Seeing my daughter excited for her day with Gemma and coming home smiling just reiterated I had made the right decision choosing her.
Safety is always her highest priority, and this gave me complete peace of mind as a parent. We saw our child grow in confidence, independence, and happiness while being in her care. Leaving your child with someone else is never easy, but i trusted Gemma completely very quickly. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for nurturing, reliable, and truly outstanding childminder.
We are so grateful to have found Emma. She is an absolutely amazing babysitter, reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive. From day one, she built such a natural bond with our children, and we always felt completely at ease leaving them in her care. She’s patient, responsible, and truly goes above and beyond, whether it’s keeping or sticking closely to routines. Any family would be lucky to have her, we can’t recommend her highly enough.Emma is outstanding and natural.
Vikki has been caring for my daughter for more than 3 years. Her setting is homely, nurturing and full of learning opportunities. My daughter has thrived in all areas of her development during her time. Vikki is caring and fun and keeps the children engaged in child initiated learning at all times. She has a holistic approach to her provision and uses the outdoor space and local environments to stimulate the children's interests.
Sidra has been my regular after school pickup childminder for my daughter who is 11years old.
She is very calm, punctual with attention to detail. She takes instructions attentively and her professionalism is just excellent. I will recommend Sidra for anyone who is in need of a reliable childminder/nanny/babysitter
Dija worked with us from December 2024 to June 2025 as a part time nanny and household help. Dija has an amazing attitude - she’s is positive, enthusiastic, punctual, reliable and extremely hard working. She came over early in the morning to help get our three boys ready for school, and stayed to help tidy the house. Then some afternoons she would cook tea, help with bath time, and look after the boys, especially if I was at an activity with one of them. She’s completely trustworthy, very professional, and a delight to have around. Would recommend!

Our daughter started with Stacey when she was 15 months old and stayed until she started preschool. Initially, we found looking for childcare quite overwhelming and quickly realised that we wanted her to be in a home setting as opposed to a bigger nursery. Luckily, we found Acorns 2 Oaks, which far exceeded even our highest expectations. Our daughter absolutely loved going there and we were always confident knowing that she was in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. We really appreciated Stacey’s knowledge and expertise of the early years framework and her wealth of experience in working with children in different settings over the course of her career. She really has a way with children - she is compassionate, caring and gentle. The range of activities and trips offered was incredible and it’s clear that Stacey puts a huge amount of care and attention into planning a stimulating schedule for the children that is both fun and supports their development. Similarly, Stacey offered a fantastic range of healthy meals, exposing children from an early age into a variety of flavours, textures etc.
The bond our daughter developed with Stacey and her family is really special - so much so that she’s recently started going there again after school and is thrilled to be back! We also loved that she was with a small group of children that she got to know really well and some of those friendships have continued to this day.
Acorns 2 Oaks is managed very professionally and Stacey communicates her policies clearly. There is a robust sickness policy in place, which ultimately mitigates the risk of children passing on illnesses. We found Stacey incredibly approachable and she was always will to work with us if we were facing challenges (e.g. when our daughter was teething).
In short, I would recommend Stacey to anyone looking for childcare in South Bristol without hesitation. Our daughter absolutely thrived with her.
I found Charlie, to be incredibly calm, reliable and supportive, and a real reassurance to our family during the early days with our twins. She has a gentle, natural way with newborns and was especially supportive to my wife, offering practical help alongside genuine care and reassurance. Her strong awareness of safety and routine meant we always felt our babies were in very safe and capable hands, and I would happily recommend her to any family seeking trustworthy support during the newborn stage.
