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.
Fay is a brilliant childminder
Fay offers a warm and welcoming environment with a focus on learning everyday skills (using cutlery, practicing tooth brushing(!) etc) as well as more structured learning and play which is always varied and fun.
Our son especially loves the time outdoors (walks, visits to the park, stables, gardening etc).
We are very happy with Fay and highly recommend her.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and dedicated childminder for our son. From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where he felt comfortable, happy, and genuinely excited to go every day.
What stands out the most is the genuine affection and patience she shows towards the children. She pays close attention to each child’s individual needs, encourages learning through play, and helps build confidence, independence, and good manners in such a natural way. We have noticed tremendous positive changes in our son’s social skills, communication, and overall development since being in her care.
She is extremely reliable, organised, and professional, while also maintaining a lovely family-like atmosphere that gives parents real peace of mind. Communication has always been excellent — she keeps us updated regularly and clearly cares deeply about the wellbeing and happiness of the children.
As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy when away from home. We can honestly say she has become an important and trusted part of our son’s early years, and we are truly grateful for everything she has done for him.
We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, dependable, and exceptional childminder.
Nicole has been helping us with our 2 girls, aged 8 and 5. She’s honestly lit up their lives ❤️. They adore her and look forward to their afternoons with her so much. She is kind and patient with them and always has fun activities. I trust her 100% picking them up from school and know they could not be in better hands.

I honestly cannot put into words how wonderful this person is. She is incredibly caring, loving, and attentive with the children, and they truly feel happy and comfortable in her care.
My son settled in unbelievably quickly and even slept there from the very first day, which says so much about the warm, safe, and welcoming environment she creates. The children feel completely at ease, they eat very well, and they have plenty of opportunities to socialise and interact with other kids.
Since starting with her, my son comes home every day with new words and new things he has learned. He is only 18 months old and already knows more than 15 English words that he learned while being in her care. It is amazing to see how much progress he has made in such a short time.
She also follows an excellent routine, which has been wonderful for my son because he thrives on structure and consistency. The routine is respected very well, and you can clearly see the positive impact it has on the children.
Another thing that gave me so much peace of mind is how clean, safe, and well-organised everything is. I have been to her home myself and saw how clean and child-friendly the environment is. The toys are safe, the space is secure, and she takes hygiene very seriously. My son always comes home clean, with his hands and face washed, and his nappy changed properly and on time. He has never come home with irritation, redness, or discomfort. I truly receive him back just as clean and cared for as when I leave him there.
What I appreciate just as much is how understanding, flexible, and supportive she is. She is always available to help and has never made me feel like I am asking for too much. Even in emergency situations, when I have not been able to give much notice, she has always been more than happy to look after Rareș. She has helped me so many times during stressful moments, and for that I will always be grateful.
She is also extremely communicative and always keeps me updated. At the end of each day, she takes the time to tell me what my son did, what he learned, how his day went, if anything unusual happened, and whether everything was okay. As a parent, that level of communication means so much.
She is such a kind and genuine person who radiates warmth, positivity, and care. As a parent, it gives me incredible peace of mind knowing my son is with someone who truly loves what she does.
I recommend her wholeheartedly. From one parent to another, she is a very safe and trustworthy choice, and I truly believe that any child — even one who may struggle with adapting to new environments — will settle in very quickly with her. I could not recommend her more highly.
Freddie has been going Angela's for 18 months now, like his second home. Angela is super friendly, always happy to help, Freddie is constantly learning new things. They do dress up days and special stuff like make mothers day cards. Wouldn't go anywhere else when we have our next little one
Naila is an amazing childminder. I never trust anyone with my own children but Naila. I have been with her for a very long time. I am able to leave my children with her and not stress at all. My first child started with her and now my second born is also with her. I have recommended her to many friends and family and they are all also very happy. Naila treats my children like her own and her setting is comfortable and feels like home. The first time I saw her setting my heart and mind had the same feeling of immediately saying yes! I am really happy that I have met Naila. She is an amazing woman and I really really do appreciate her so so much. I really do recommend to everyone.
Finding someone you trust with your little one is so daunting, but Dee made the transition incredibly easy. From day one, she provided a warm, nurturing environment that felt like a home away from home. My child settled in much faster than I expected, and I can go to work knowing they are safe, happy, and well-cared for. I couldn't ask for a better childminder!

Nancy has been our childminder for over 3 years, there a few words to describe how amazing she is. We have had such a wonderful experience with Nancy and when trusting your little ones to someone else it’s made so much easier when such a kind person and family step in to help. Nothing has ever been a problem, Nancy has always supported and encourage us and our child and we couldn’t have wished to have found a better person to care for her. Not only Nancy but also her children have made her home a place that any child would be happy to be a part of. It’s with a very sad heart that we part ways as our now not so little one starts her journey into secondary school.
My daughter has had Vicky childminder her for over 4 years, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds from the encouragement & learning skills, of play, outside play, days out, which she has been given in the care of Vicky.
I would recommend Vickys childminder services for your child to feel cared for and you not have any worries, she encourages your children to develop, to get them ready for school.
She is caring, patient & all round a lovely person, who will make you & your children feel welcome and safe.
My daughter loved being in the care of Vicky & we still now keep in contact.
Highly recommend :)
Raouline is a fantastic childcare provider.

She is caring by nature,very patient and i am happy i can trust her with my kids.
She still looks after my kids when im in need of childcare.
She entertains them,take them to the library,to the park/playground.my kids have learnt a lot from them.im very have with her services
We couldn’t be more grateful to Kellie and Lillie for the phenomenal care, support and dedication they provide for our son and family. Since the beginning we have found that every aspect of the care has been treated with so much love and attention. The setting is wonderful, there are always consistent routines and lovely moments that are captured and shared throughout the day which is so reassuring. The development support available is something that we are so appreciative to have. Truly blessed that we have found this setting for our son, and couldn’t be happier.
Salma has been looking after our toddler who is 2 since Dec 25 and she has done an amazing job with her. She has made her feel comfortable in her own home and has been helping her in her potty training. Salma always provides regular updates and pictures/videos. Our daughter loves going to Salma's and we would highly recommend her to any parent.
If you love and care for your child, AVOID this place!
Needless to say, see ofsted review, her license was suspended. Clear reason why this childminder do not want to publish her ofsted rating.
Child come home depressed and cannot utter a word for sometime, seems like tortured.
No activities done. In small space keeps 6 child plus 2 her own kids, whereas OFSTED reported there were 8 kids + 2 her own.
Children sleep in stroller.
During summer months, no outdoor play and keeps curtain closed with indoor light and child stays frustrated being in setting lack of space.
Her parents stay with her, So i total house was occupied with atleast 12-13 members.
House will kept clean all times, no age appropriate toys for kids, what her daughters use that all she offer.
Ties children to highchair, while she put other children to nap
She was a tourture for a 21 months old boy.

Jodie has been looking after my daughter for a while now, I cannot praise her setting enough, it’s beautiful fully equipped and the children have everything on hand.
Jodie and Megan regularly keep me updated with what my child has been doing alongside sending pictures which as an anxious mumma has been a god send.
I cannot praise them enough, nothing is too much trouble even with my fussy eater of a child. They go above and beyond and would highly recommended them.

We've been so pleased with how Louise has supported our son and how he's developed under her attention and care. We really appreciate the input and feedback Louise shared with us throughout, as this helped us to reinforce his learning back at home too. Louise's setting provides a home from home, as well as variety with the children visiting different groups each day, which allows them to socialize with a range of other children and other caregivers too.
I would recommend Louise to all, as she's a brilliant role model and builds lovely relationships with all the children in her care, helping them thrive and grow. Our son will certainly have very fond memories of his time at Louise's.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding nanny. Kellie & team did such an incredible job looking after our 4-month-old son throughout the day which meant we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding knowing he was in such safe and caring hands.
She also went above and beyond by chaperoning him to the chapel so he could be part of our ceremony, and bringing him out for photos afterwards which meant so much to us. Would absolutely recommend to any parents looking for childcare support on their wedding day ❤️
My child enjoyed very much her time at Sunshine & Rainbows with Kate.
Kate developed a good relationship with our child and us parents. My child was always excited to attend Kate’s and always interested in participating in the activities that Kate planned.
Kate is very nurturing and thoughtful and we always had an easy communication.
I recommend Kate’s setting to anyone who needs childminding services as it is a safe and nurturing environment for children and Kate does a lot of interesting activities with the children including cooking, painting, spending time outdoors, gardening, etc.
Nanny Jane is a true professional and a very kind person. She is extremely knowledgeable about babies, breastfeeding and routines. She was able to build rapport immediately with my 5yo, 3yo and newborn, helping us out on an ad-hoc basis. Trustworthy and brilliant!
I couldn’t recommend Andy and Anna anymore, my little boy has been with them for nearly 10 months and he absolutely loves it!
I was nervous to send him to a childminder to begin with however it turned out to be the best decision I have made for him! He asks to go to the childminders every day!
His speech and development has come on leaps and bounds since being with Andy and Anna, he has learnt so much!
They are always doing fun activities including arts and crafts or fun walks collecting sticks, and he loves Anna and Andy’s garden so much!
Andy and Anna are so welcoming and their home is such a lovely and happy environment!
I travel 20 miles in total in a day on public transport to take my little boy here and wouldn’t have it any other way!
I can’t wait for my little girl to join them in all the fun they get up to when she’s a bit older!

I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a caring and trustworthy childminder for my 2-year-old and 1-year-old daughters. From the very beginning, she has created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where both girls feel happy, comfortable, and excited to attend.
My eldest daughter wakes up looking forward to going to “Vicky’s house,” which says so much about the loving and positive environment she creates. Both girls have built such a lovely bond with her and are always happy and settled.
She is patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about each child’s development and wellbeing. I've seen such positive growth in both of my daughters. She always keeps me updated on their day, activities, meals, and milestones, which gives me peace of mind.
I especially love how much she encourages the children to explore outdoors, take part in activities, and learn through play and new experiences. It’s wonderful seeing my daughters grow in confidence while enjoying nature and being active.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, loving, and professional childminder.
