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 have had a wonderful experience with First Class Kidz. The staff are caring, professional, and always make the children feel safe and happy. Communication with parents is excellent, and it is clear that they genuinely care about every child's development and wellbeing. I highly recommend First Class Kidz to any family looking for high-quality childcare.
I used Mrs tessy in minding my two girls some couple of days ago and, they never stop asking to
go back … She took good care of my girls and i could tell when my kids are well taken care of
by someone else ( Mother instinct )
She discovered new meals, snacks and activities they enjoy and shared it with me . This discovery has been so helpful 🙈
She did the job effortlessly, played with the kids like she was playing with her age group 😂😂😂and they loved it 🥰
I am 💯 happy with the service she rendered, she’s really doing a good job with the kids .
I am definitely coming back, you just gained another client😊 Keep it up ma !
If you are looking for an exceptional, trustworthy caregiver who will seamlessly elevate your family’s daily life, Gemma is the absolute gold standard. Beginning her role with us when our children were just 7 months and 5 years old (now 3 & 7 years old), she has proven herself to be an extraordinarily reliable professional who never misses a day of work and consistently takes the ultimate care of our little ones.
Beyond her deeply nurturing nature, she is a logistical powerhouse; Gemma handles diary management flawlessly, stays completely on top of all classes and schedules, and provides invaluable reminders that have taken a massive mental burden off my shoulders. Her incredible proactivity and initiative were fully on display when she helped to organise fantastic birthday parties, proving she is a self-starter who confidently takes control and suggests creative ideas. Energetic, engaging, and genuinely active, Gemma loves to run around with the kids and take them out on adventures, supported by the fact that she is a highly confident driver.
Hiring Gemma means gaining a proactive, capable partner who protects your peace of mind and brings joy, structure, and unparalleled support into your home.
I honestly can’t recommend Monica anymore!
I’m genuinely so sad that my little one is starting school in another area so can no longer go to Monica’s.
So initially we were only meant to be with Monica short term until my son started nursery but we loved her so much that we continued sending our son to Monica from age 1 to 4 years old. Monica has become like extended family, she’s so attentive, warm and caring. Her family are also terrific! My son absolutely loved going Mons and even still asks for her house now. She’s professional extremely clean which was a huge thing for us and just outstanding in every area!
My son always came back home immaculate too! She pays attention to little details and will always check in to see how they’re doing even when not at hers. I highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. She looked after our daughter from the age of around 2 until almost 5, caring for her every week over the course of three years.
Rachel has been absolutely wonderful - kind, reliable, trustworthy. She collected our daughter from nursery, prepared her meals, bathed her, and put her to bed, giving us complete peace of mind. She also spent quality time with her, planning fun activities, reading books, and encouraging conversations and learning through play.
Rachel is moving away now, and we will miss her a lot. If one day she returns to the area we would love to have her back caring for our daughter again.
Our two daughters attended Eugenie's childcare first my older daughter then younger, and we couldn't have asked for a better childminder. Eugenie provided a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where both of our girls thrived. From day one, they were happy, settled, and excited to go each morning, which gave us complete peace of mind.
Eugenie is incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated. She always made sure the children felt valued, supported, and encouraged to learn through fun, engaging activities. We saw such a positive impact on our daughters' confidence, social skills, and overall development during their time with her.
Communication was always excellent, and it was clear that Eugenie genuinely cared for every child in her care. We will always be grateful for the love, attention, and support she gave our daughters. We wholeheartedly recommend Eugenie to any family looking for an exceptional, trustworthy, and nurturing childminder. Thank you for everything you've done for our family!

I feel completely at ease dropping my two children with Erum. They come back happy and are excited for the next day due to the myriad of activities that aid them in all aspects such as sensory, motor skills and creativity and cognition.
The attention to detail is also great as she creates activities based on their interests and my two very introverted anxious kids quickly built a relationship with her and staff.
Will definitely recommend for all ages.
Francesca cared for our daughter from infancy until she started nursery and has been an exceptional nanny. She is warm, reliable, patient and genuinely passionate about childcare. She built a wonderful bond with our daughter, supporting her development through engaging activities, outings and plenty of fun, while also introducing her to Italian through songs, books and everyday conversation. Francesca gave us complete confidence that our daughter was safe, happy and loved, and she was also an incredible support to us as first-time parents, always offering reassurance and practical advice. We are only saying goodbye because our daughter is starting nursery, and we would recommend Francesca without hesitation to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy and dedicated nanny.

We couldn't have asked for a better nanny than Helen. She joined our family when our boys were just 4 and 6, and over the past two years she has become such an important part of their lives.
Helen is incredibly kind, calm and seemingly endlessly patient, creating a home environment where the boys feel safe, happy and encouraged to explore. She has a wonderful way of making learning fun, whether that's through imaginative art projects, painting, poster-making or introducing them to new foods with her famous "Bush Tucker Trials"—which have become a family favourite!
She is also a fantastic cook and has helped broaden the boys' tastes enormously. One of the things we have appreciated most is the support she has given them with their reading. She has nurtured both their confidence and enthusiasm for books, and we've seen such wonderful progress over the past two years.
Helen is reliable, thoughtful, creative and genuinely invested in our boys' development. She has cared for them as though they were her own, and we have always had complete confidence that they were not only safe, but happy, stimulated and loved while in her care.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Helen. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

Maddie has been great helping our daughter, who is in year 5, with her homework, particularly with Maths and English.
She built a rapport really quickly and my daughter is always happy to spend time doing her homework with Maddie, which is certainly not the case with her parents!
Maddie is very conscientious and the communication between us has always been excellent. We’d highly recommend.

My son joined Pegah's setting when he was around one year old, and it has now been almost two years.
Before choosing Pegah, I visited six different childcare settings. The moment I visited hers, I knew I had found exactly what I had been looking for.
To me, choosing childcare for a child under four is about much more than finding somewhere safe for them to spend the day. It is about choosing a place where they will be loved and cared for as if they were with family. Pegah, Mehdi, and their wonderful team truly provide that kind of environment.
Originally, our son attended nursery three days a week and spent two days with Pegah. When he turned two, he surprised us by saying that he didn't want to go to nursery anymore and wanted to go to Pegah's every day instead. We listened to him, and since then he has attended five days a week. For a two-year-old to express that preference so clearly says more than any review ever could.
Every day, I share the beautiful photos Pegah takes with our extended family. We have a very large family, and almost everyone comments on how amazed they are by the incredible experiences the children have.
They explore Richmond Park searching for wildlife, listen to stories about bees at Kew Gardens, watch swans and ducks at the Wetland Centre before enjoying the splash park, visit zoos and farms to learn about animals, and discover countless parks, museums, and nature spots around Richmond. Honestly, thanks to Pegah, my son has explored more of London than my husband and I have! Every evening, our whole family looks forward to seeing the day's photos. They have become some of our most treasured memories.
Pegah has also created the most wonderful home and garden for the children. This summer, they even built a little "car wash" in the garden where the children could splash around and play with water for hours. Every birthday is thoughtfully celebrated with beautiful decorations that make each child feel special.
One of my favourite memories was last Christmas. Pegah and Mehdi spent weeks transforming their home into a magical Christmas wonderland, complete with a gingerbread house, Santa's sleigh, and so many thoughtful little details. I honestly remember thinking that if I could be a child again, I would want to spend Christmas there too.
Even on days when they stay at home, which actually isn't very often because Pegah places such a strong emphasis on outdoor learning and exploration, there is never a shortage of engaging activities. there is never a shortage of engaging activities. My son regularly comes home proudly carrying little cakes he has baked, paintings he has created, and all kinds of crafts. For Mother's Day, Father's Day, and other special occasions, the children make heartfelt handmade gifts. Every single activity reflects the incredible amount of thought, care, and creativity that Pegah puts into what she does.
What I appreciate most is that Pegah truly sees each child as an individual. She understands that every child develops differently and creates an environment where they can grow with confidence while providing them with wonderful experiences and opportunities.
Since joining her setting, I have watched my son become more confident, cheerful, imaginative, and sociable. His language has developed remarkably, and he now happily introduces himself to new children and makes friends with ease. Watching his confidence grow has been one of the greatest joys for us as parents.
Every morning, dropping him off at Pegah's front door, and every evening, watching him run out with the biggest smile on his face, fills both my husband and me with happiness and reassurance.
Meeting Pegah and Mehdi has truly been one of the greatest blessings for our family. They have supported not only our son's development, but also our journey as first-time parents, giving us confidence, reassurance, and complete peace of mind.
I don't really think of what they provide as simply childcare anymore. It feels as though they have become part of our family. But if I had to describe it as a service, I can honestly say it is the service we have been happiest to pay for, and without question the best value we have ever received.

Jackie looked after my daughter one day a week for just over a year. But she has also looked after my son for 2 years previously. Jackie has been absolutely brilliant, and my kids loved going. So much arts and crafts happen, and their development since going has been incredible. My children have both left now to start big school but I’d highly recommend Jackie to anyone needing her service.
Our family is visiting in London for the summer and my wife and I wanted to go out for dinner without the kids for one night. We found Helen and she was amazing. Kept our 3 kids well entertained (without devices) and in bed before we got home. All before 9pm. Helen came prepared, ask about our kids before coming and brought arts and crafts bits to keep them focused on a task and curious. Helen is very friendly and has a very motherly demeanor. She is calm and exerts a peaceful energy. Our kids are already asking if she can come back to help again before we leave for the summer. Needless to say, we will ask for Helen if and whenever she is available. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a short-term or last minute nanny.
Lizzie has been warm and welcoming to our boy for over 4 years, providing not just an education but a kind and positive relationship. Both myself and my wife often refer to Lizzie as our boy’s ’second mother’. We are kept up to date on a daily basis with messages and pictures so that, as parents we can share in the learning of our children. The setting is ideal, with beautiful countryside and garden that provides hands on learning and fun activities. She provides healthy and nutritious home-cooked meals for the children in her care and to see the progress that our son has made during his time there has made us see how ready he is to begin school in September. We are that impressed with her services that we are sending our daughter there next year. Our son is already excited to see you at his little sister’s pick ups. Thank you for everything you’ve done Lizzie :)
Mandy and Kev were out daughters childminders for 10 years. They were more than childminders to us, they were like family. I can't recommend them both enough.
Both of our children have attended various nurseries, but when we decided to move our youngest, we changed to a child minder instead. We are so glad we found Amy and feel extremely lucky to have found a place with her. Our youngest was 2 when he moved and his speech and language has flourished with Amy. In the space of a couple of months, he went from saying the odd word to speaking in full sentences. He is excited to go to Amy’s house in the morning and is very bubbly and chatty about his day once he gets home. We have also seen an improvement in our son’s understanding and curiosity, and he has made some lovely friends. Amy provides lots of stimulation and learning activities for the children and Edward particularly loves playing in her garden on the slides and trucks. Amy works with other childminders in the area and our son enjoys going to play with the other children.
We would recommend Amy to other parents looking for childcare and have been very pleased with our child’s progress and happiness in her care.
