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.
We really appreciate Zee’s efforts. What I really liked about her is how she accepts my boy early in the morning when I am going to work. This is unlikely for other childminders to accept kids at that time. And my boy is always neat.
I will recommend her.
Justina is looking after my son for 2 years now and since he started with her I see a big progress. She is always caring and give attention to every detail. Very creative and has great activities with children . She is a fantastic childminder and even her communication with parents is excellent. Totally recommend her ✨✨✨
I am so happy with the care Anita has provided for my 18-month-old. She has a wonderful selection of toys that kept my little one engaged and entertained, fostering both creativity and learning. Anita’s warm and caring presence made my child feel at ease, and I could tell they truly enjoyed their time with her. She also keeps me updated regularly with progress reports and photos, which I really appreciate. Additionally, Anita ensures that my child has a balanced and nutritious diet. What stands out most is how flexible and reliable she is, always going the extra mile to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend Anita as a childminder!

My son has been with Jennie & Ashley since last year and it has been the best decision I could have made for a safe, fun, caring & educational childcare provider. I was so nervous about sending my son away 2 days a week but they made not only the transition so effortless and comforting but my son absolutely loves every minute he is there! regular daily updates with photos & they provide sooo many fun days including days out etc. knowing every photo or video that is sent through with him beaming ear to ear with smiles & laughter is the only reassuring thing is need! I feel I am so fortunate to have found them!! Couldn’t recommend enough !!!
Natalie
From our very first interaction Natalie has had a warm welcoming. On our trail session there was an instant connection between Natalie and my son he was very comfortable and said he preferred the way she explained and demonstrated things more than his teachers at school.
He has developed a new found confidence in his maths and science work since working with Natalie.
I also appreciate that she takes time to provide feedback after every session which makes me feel included.
Overall I believe Natalie is an excellent teacher you would not be disappointed if you choose her for your child!
Naz has been cooking for our family for the past six months. Her meals are delicious, nutritious, and healthy! They’re much better than I could have hoped for. She has always been able to cook whatever we requested. She has also looked after our little boy on occasion when he was unwell and couldn’t go to nursery. She is such a kind, professional, smart, reliable, and trustworthy person. She has been helping us so much, giving us more time to spend with our little boy.

Danu is a kind-hearted and sweet young woman. She is both patient and playful with the children; ensures their safety and happiness at all times; makes sure that they eat healthy yet delicious food; and she is communicative with parents and children in ways that are best suited for them. Additionally, I have noticed that she pays attention to each child’s individual needs. Could not recommend a better childminder. Keep up the outstanding work, Danu!
Our daughter started her journey with Jennifer and Maria at Lullaby Lane Childcare when she was just 10 months old. As a first-time mom, I worried about everything and visited over 10 nurseries and childminders around the Crystal Palace and Forest Hill area. Lullaby Lane stood out by far, and choosing them helped ease my worries, knowing my daughter would be in the best hands.
Jennifer is an energetic, loving, and incredibly caring childminder who truly understands each child as an individual, tailoring her care to their unique needs. The setting itself is warm, homely, and always clean, with plenty of toys and books to keep the little ones engaged. Meals are freshly cooked with a variety of vegetables and fruits—something I really appreciate. My daughter is quite picky at home, but at Lullaby Lane, she eats so well!
One of the things I love most is how Jennifer takes the kids on different outings—to the park, museums, soft play, and the library—always introducing them to new experiences. The communication is also fantastic. We receive updates throughout the day, along with photos, which always brighten my day and give me peace of mind.
Most importantly, the biggest reassurance for me is seeing my daughter’s reaction at drop-off. Every morning, I worry she might cry, but as soon as she sees Jennifer or Maria, she stretches out her arms for a cuddle—no hesitation. That says it all. Kids don’t lie—she feels safe, loved, and truly happy there.
I’m so grateful for the amazing care and love Jennifer and Maria have given my daughter. Saying goodbye is bittersweet, but I know we made the best choice, and I can’t recommend Lullaby Lane Childcare enough!

Our little girl has been going to Adele since she was 10 months old. The first thing she asks when she wakes up is if she is going to "Del's house" with the most excited smile on her face!
Our daughter loves Adele as if she was family and is clearly comfortable and confident in her care, which we have seen right from the get go.
Adele has been amazing for us as a family. She has supported with feeding advice when we were transitioning from bottles to pure solid food, attempts at potty training, as well as helpful prompts for sun cream or wellies. She keeps us up to date with activities that are happening and is always planning something exciting for the children to nurture them and help them develop. Adele also provided regular updates when we were getting settled in and arranged for half days to transition to ensure a smooth handing over period in the first few weeks.
Adele arranges regular development updates and is transparent with her paperwork, reports and costs.
We can't imagine our daughter being looked after by anybody else & I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Leanne is great. Clearly very experienced. We hadn't used a babysitter before for our 2 and 6yr old girls, so were worried that they'd be weird about a stranger coming to look after them. But Leanne made the time to come round one afternoon to meet them before the first evening she came to babysit.
Each time she's come over, she immediately engages the girls - makes them feel very at ease, so much so that our eldest has asked when we'll go out again so she can hang out with Leanne!
Highly recommend 😊
We are so grateful to have found Diane!
From day one, she has been warm, caring, and incredibly attentive, creating a safe and stimulating environment where our child has thrived. Her passion for childcare shines through in the way she engages with each child, balancing fun activities with learning and development.
Communication is always excellent, with regular updates that give us peace of mind. We highly recommend Diane to any parent looking for a nurturing and trustworthy childminder!
Shannon looked after our 6 month old and was wonderful. She goes above and beyond her duties and was a pleasure to deal with.
She was very responsive to messages and made time to get to know our little one and was very caring and considerate.
I would highly recommend Shannon, she was first class.
I cannot thank you Derek enough, my son is autistic and non verbal his school mostly give us feedback that they cannot manage his tantrums but I don't know how Derek buil a good bond with him that my son stays calm with him and Derek never complained about any tantrums they get along so well.
We're absolutely thrilled with the care our daughter (15 months) has been receiving from Katarina since she started 6 months ago. It's clear that Katarina loves what she does. She's kind and nurturing and always really positive and enthusiastic. I feel that that my daughter has learned so much from Katarina and is really thriving. We've noticed how much more confident and independent she has become. She's happy to go with Katarina in the morning time and is happy and smiling when I collect her in the evening.
Katarina is very experienced and knowledgeable about child development and is super helpful with tips and advice. At collection time she fills us in on how our daughter has been and is always happy to answer any questions that we have. We are also kept up to date with photos, as well as a communication book which goes back and forth daily.
The meals Katarina provides are nutritious and well-balanced. It's great to know that our daughter is enjoying healthy home-cooked meals, and we appreciate the effort that goes into planning and preparing them. I also love that she is out and about everyday with the children exploring the local environment. I feel that she provides a wide range of fun and engaging educational activities.
I would highly recommend Katarina. She is truly amazing and we feel really lucky to have found her. Knowing that my daughter is in such safe, capable and loving hands gives us complete peace of mind.
I was nervous when I was looking for a childminder for my daughter. However, Meedah Childcare has been amazing. We met prior to introducing her to my daughter and answered any questions I had and reassured me. Further from this when she met my daughter she was warm, kind and patient. My daughter was comfortable instantly and didn’t want to leave her house.
She is reliable and flexible, especially with my busy work schedule which would be an issue for other childminders but she always adapts to my ever changing schedule. She offers school drop off and pick ups which has been a great help and I never need to worry.
Herself and my daughter have a great relationship and she never has an issue. In fact, when I show up sometimes to collect her she doesn’t want to leave.
If you’re looking for a reliable, honest and flexible childminder Shes definitely the one to go with

Julie comes on an ad hoc basis for my 2 year old. She always brings lots of toys and games. On her last visit Julie was with us all day so took George to the library and Harlow carr. George is always really happy to see Julie and I really appreciate Julie keeping me updated with photos and texts so I can see how they are getting on.
Julie has fitted in really well to our busy family life. Thank you Julie.
Uzma is very warm, kind and organised person. My son was very settled at her place and he was looked after very well. The house is very clean and the kids area had plenty of toys and access to the garden.
Our youngest son, Charlie, started with Maria and Carlos just before he turned one, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he receives along with the other children. We fully trust them to look after him, knowing he is in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. It’s become a home away from home.
Maria and Carlos are attentive and always plan enriching activities so they can learn and develop whilst having fun. We particularly like that they go out everyday for a period of time. They visit local parks, stay-and-play sessions, and city farms. This means they get plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and engaging experiences.
We really appreciate the frequent updates throughout the day, including photos and key details about naps and activities, especially when Charlie was learning to sleep in a different environment.
Maria’s place is warm and welcoming, and the other children and parents are friendly and kind too, which speaks to the kind of place it is.
We highly recommend Maria and Carlos.
