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.
Teresa, Honey & Harmony are truly exceptional at what they do. They are caring, fun, kind, reliable, nurturing and endlessly patient… the list really does go on.
The setting itself is fantastic, with so much for the children to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. It’s such a stimulating, welcoming environment. Every day they are doing new fun activities.
My little girl has always been quite reserved and clingy, so I felt incredibly anxious about finding the right childcare for her. I am beyond grateful that we found Honez Childcare. Their patience and understanding made all the difference, we worked together to ensure she settled in smoothly and made the whole transition as stress-free as possible.
Now, she absolutely loves her time there. She is always so happy and excited when I drop her off, and as a parent, I couldn’t ask for more than that. They have exceeded every expectation I had, and I am genuinely so thankful to have found them.
I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. They truly go above and beyond for the children in their care and treat them as if they were their own. Simply the best, without a doubt!
Debbie looked after our one year old and he loved it. She has a wonderful setting with a warm, family feel. Debbie organises lots of activities of all sorts to keep the little ones engaged and entertained. I wasn’t expecting our son to run into the house with excitement, but that’s how every day started. Debbie provides great meals (ideal for a hungry little one), as well as nappies, etc. I’m sorry we were only with Debbie for a few weeks, but would definitely recommend her care to anyone looking for a childminder for their little one!
I was due to start a new job, which felt like a huge and daunting career step for me. On top of that, I had to find someone to care for my children. My eldest is nonverbal, autistic, incredibly bright, an expert escape artist, and a constant worry as he is a real flight risk. The thought of inviting essentially a stranger into our lives to care for my children — especially one so vulnerable — was overwhelming.
I spoke to Becky on the phone initially, and within five minutes all of those nerves simply melted away. I just knew I wanted her to be part of our family and to care for both of my children. When we met in person, that feeling was completely confirmed.
When you employ Becky, she isn’t just an employee — she becomes a friend and part of your family. She is one of the most kind, empathetic, and genuinely wonderful human beings I have ever met. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. The only person I might trust as much — or perhaps just slightly more — would be my own mother.
Becky is an extraordinary person who goes above and beyond anything that is asked of her. She cares not only for your children, but for you as well. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her.
I had been struggling to find a childminder for my 10 month old son and I was due to go back to work after maternity leave. I was given Simone's number by a parent at my older daughter's school and what a blessing she has been!
Her setting is lovely, her assistants are both amazing and my son, who is now 2 has the best time there. To the point where he asks to go and see Simone even on weekends! She is also very flexible and has even managed accommodate my son last minute on the days that she is not even scheduled to have him. Trusting a complete stranger with your child is a scary thing but she made that transition so easy and my son barely even looks back at me when he is dropped off!
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare
Hilda has babysat for me. I would highly recommend her calm and pleasant demeanour.
Sianne has looked after my two boys since June 2023 (now 3y and 7y) and honestly could not ask for a better childminder. The range of activities they get up to is incredible and am so comforted by the fact that my children see her house as a home from home. They are looked after so well and truly believe she treats them as if they were her own. They both look forward to being at her house every week as they are always up to something fun and my husband and I don’t know what we would do without Sianne in our lives!!

Isoken is truly the best childminder we could ever have for our daughter. She’s wonderful, and our little one is always so excited to spend time at hers. We’re incredibly grateful for the flexibility she offers with our childcare needs. We especially appreciate her focus on play-based learning and the wide range of activities she plans. Our daughter regularly comes home with lovely handmade creations, which we absolutely cherish. The communication is easy and very understanding to parents. We are grateful to have found her.
I honestly can’t recommend Kamila enough. Our daughter has been with her since she was just 10 months old, and she has become such an integral part of her growth and development. As first-time parents, the thought of leaving our daughter in someone else’s care was daunting — but from day one, Kamila made us feel completely at ease.
What stands out most is how genuinely Kamila cares. She looks after our daughter as if she were her own, and that level of love, patience and attentiveness is something you simply can’t teach. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure she feels safe, secure, loved and truly cared for. That peace of mind as working parents is priceless.
Beyond the warmth and nurturing environment she creates, Kamila places a huge focus on development — physically, mentally and emotionally. Every week our daughter is exploring new and exciting experiences, from creative activities and sensory play to social interaction and structured learning. The progress we’ve seen in her confidence, communication, independence and overall maturity has been incredible. Kamila has hands down been an integral part of our daughter’s cognitive growth and the curious, capable little person she is becoming.
She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and deeply intentional about how she supports each child’s individual needs. Our daughter absolutely adores her and walks in each morning excited for the day ahead — which speaks volumes.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Kamila. She has not only supported our daughter’s development in the most wonderful way, but she has also supported us as parents. We truly couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Honestly, I would recommend Kamila for any parent that wants their children to develop and grow in an environment that they feel truly comfortable in.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder. From day one, she has been kind, patient, and genuinely caring towards our child. Moving into a completely new environment and routine can be overwhelming for a little one, but she made the transition so smooth and comforting.
It’s clear how much thought and effort she puts into creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating space.
What truly stands out is her warmth and dedication. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our child. Highly recommended to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring.
Our little boy has been with Fran since he was one. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him. Leaving him with Fran feels like leaving him with a family member and Fran treats all of the children in her care like members of her extended family.
Fran focuses on the important things - the children go outside, they play, they learn independence, they bake, create, draw, build dens, read stories, socialise, they sit together and eat their meals at a table. Fran is loving, caring, dedicated and nurturing, and balances this well with clear boundaries, supporting the children to learn how to behave.
Fran is also amazing with parents. Fran is flexible and reliable and her communication is excellent. She has been patient and kind and a support system for us too - as first time parents she has been amazing when we’ve needed advice about potty training etc.
Fran has had a profound and remarkable positive impact on the toddler we dropped off at her house for his first day at “Nanny Franny’s”. She has walked alongside him every step of the way, helping him to develop into a strong, confident, and kind little boy who is absolutely ready to take his next step in to Primary School. For that, we will be forever grateful and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to look after your child.

My son was with Emma for about 4 months. She was absolutely brilliant with him. He was so excited to go on a morning and was always doing fabulous activities while there. Emma is so kind and attentive. I truly felt like my son was very safe with her and was getting great care
The only reason we parted ways was due to my husbands commute. I would have happily kept my son there for years to come.
Emma really is such a great person and absolutely fab with children. She is very reliable and communicative
Our daughter has been with Sianne for the last 2.5 years and we've been extremely happy with Sianne's care and diligence in looking after her. They go on outings most days in the local community as well as having lots of activities at home for entertainment and learning. We receive lots of pictures of what they get up to each week. Sianne has been really supportive with all the transitions we've been through over the past 2.5 years from changing nap times, giving up dummies, toilet training etc. Our daughter will be sad to be seeing less of Sianne and her family when she starts school later in the year but it really has been such a great experience all round in building her confidence, competence and knowledge while knowing she is being taken such good care of.
We employed Lauren as a SEN nanny for our daughter, Scarlett, who has Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. Lauren began working with our family in February 2025 and worked three mornings per week from 8:30am–1:30pm. She was very flexible in her role and regularly stayed until 2:30/3:00pm when needed.
Lauren was with us for a year. In February 2026, when I returned to work, our childcare needs changed and we required longer hours, with someone able to stay until 4:30/5:00pm. Unfortunately, Lauren was unable to commit to this due to other commitments she had.
Lauren was exceptional in her role and developed an incredible bond with Scarlett. She supported Scarlet’s communication by teaching her Makaton and worked closely on her physical development and gross motor skills. She regularly took Scarlett to activities and assisted with physiotherapy appointments, and was insured to drive our car for this purpose. She supported Scarlett’s routine and never missed a nap.
During nap times, Lauren was proactive and helpful, often preparing healthy meals for our family. She consistently went above and beyond her role, helping with household tasks such as cleaning up after our morning breakfast, loading and unloading the dishwasher, keeping all surfaces clean and tidy and managing some laundry.
Lauren is an experienced, dedicated, compassionate and professional SEN nanny, and we would highly recommend her to any family. We are really saddened not to be working with her anymore - her next family will be very lucky.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Eva Allen. She is truly kind, patient, and professional, and from the very first day she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured.
she has such a warm and loving way with children that she feels like part of the family. My child loved her like a grandmother and was always excited to spend time with her. As a parent, nothing is more important than knowing your child is in a safe, happy, and caring environment — and that’s exactly what Eva provides.
She is not only nurturing but also very responsible and well-organized. She plans engaging activities, supports the children’s emotional and social development, and keeps great communication with parents. I always appreciated the updates about how the day went.
I truly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and professional.
My husband and myself felt instantly at ease and had a night off reassured that our 9 month old daughter Poppy was being well cared for. Poppy was completely comfortable with Zeddy and had a good long nap in her arms (something our family members have struggled with for months!). We found Zeddy to be prepared, competent and compassionate (towards us as well as Poppy), punctual and great with communication, and we hope to have her as our regular babysitter.

We have used this kindergarten for both our children and been extremely happy. In terms of our children’s development, we feel both have thrived in their own individual ways at The World Outside. Our eldest has transitioned fantastically to mainstream primary and we attribute a lot of this to their foundational stage at kindergarten. Our second child is happy and thriving currently at the kindergarten. We have noticed how the setting has really made our children confident in their abilities, embracing of risk, resilient and determined whilst having a connection and respect of the natural world around them. We feel so lucky to have found this kindergarten and it will always have a special place in our hearts. We could not recommend it highly enough and hope future families have such positive experiences as we have!
I don't like giving negative reviews or comments in respect of anything generally. However, whilst we liked Pauline, she has given us a one day notice of no longer being able (due to not wanting to work full time anymore, as she was looking after another child for the other 3 days) to look after our child which has had a huge impact on us. She was aware that we have taken our little boy out of nursery on the 2 days she was looking after him and we are both full time working parents with no back-up childcare/family around to help. The nursery was not able to take him back full time and we were left scrambling to find childcare. Extremely disappointed. She has also done this at a time in which she knew I was sick from work related stress, and nonetheless she didn't give it a second thought of adding additional pressure.

Both my children have attended Kate’s home from around 11 months until they were 2 years old when they moved to Kates preschool setting at the hut. This felt like a perfect way to start them in a homely setting and gradually introduce them to more children, activities and space as they grew. The staff at Kate’s home and the hut have been absolutely lovely and communicative and have really taken the time to get to know my children. They have gone the extra mile to help and accommodate us where they can and I’m so grateful I found Kate as knowing my little ones were safe and happy made going back to work that bit easier. I would highly recommend Kate and her team. Thanks for being so brilliant with both my little ones :)
We truly cannot speak highly enough of this nursery and the incredible team who work there. Our daughter is non-verbal and autistic, so choosing the right setting for her was a huge decision for us. From the very beginning, we felt reassured that she would be understood, supported and genuinely cared for.
A very special mention must go to Holly Foster, her 1:1, who has been absolutely wonderful. Holly’s patience, warmth and dedication have made such a difference to our daughter’s experience. She understands her individual needs, celebrates her progress, and supports her in a way that feels both professional and deeply compassionate. The bond they have built gives us enormous comfort as parents.
The nursery creates an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child is valued as an individual. They have taken the time to learn how our daughter communicates and interacts with the world, and they consistently adapt activities to ensure she can participate and thrive. We’ve seen real growth in her confidence and engagement since she started.
Communication with us as parents has always been open and supportive, and we feel genuinely listened to. Knowing our daughter is in such capable and caring hands gives us complete peace of mind.
We are incredibly grateful for the positive start they have given her and would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any family.
