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.
Grace is an amazing babysitter. She has a calm personality she super sweet and kind. My boys can't stop laughing and playing when she's around. I can see she takes great care for them when I leave for work because my boys are elated once she enters the door. I love how she takes the time to play with them even tho they are so hyperactive. š

Sending our little one to Annabel has been one of the best decisions ever. The care and attention she receives daily has exceeded our expectations in every way.
Annabel is remarkable at addressing developmental milestones with such thoughtfulness and creativity. Whenever our little one faces challenges, Annabel finds subtle yet impactful solutions that make a real difference. Her approach to early childhood education is extraordinary - blending nurturing support with age-appropriate learning opportunities.
The entire staff shares Annabelle's dedication and warmth. The nursery environment itself is immaculately clean and beautifully arranged to inspire curiosity and independence in the children.
We wish this wonderful Montessori setting was available when our older child was this age! We couldn't recommend Annabel and her nursery more highly to parents seeking exceptional childcare with a genuine Montessori philosophy.

Lynn cared for our 8-month-old daughter for a few hours over the past two days, and we couldnāt be more impressed. She was incredibly warm, friendly, and engaging, creating a positive environment for our little one. Lynnās knowledge of sleep training was evident, and she handled multiple meal times with ease, even taking our daughter on a local trip to the park. Our daughter was clearly relaxed and happy in Lynn's care. We would absolutely recommend Lynn and would be more than happy to work with her again if the need arises. Please note that we have not rated 'setting', 'cleanliness' or 'food' as Lynn was working at our home and we provided food for our child.

ā¼ļøThis is my LOās first time attending childminder (She is 2y/o) and has never been away from us, but Emilija has been so patient and caring towards her, and always updates us of what their activities for the day.
ā¼ļøI have a very good experience with Emilija and so is my daughter, the settings and cleanliness of the area is superb.

Jenny has been our son's childminder for a year now and I can't recommend her highly enough - my son loves her! There are never any tears at drop off, and he always confidently wanders in - which shows how safe he feels in her care. Jenny has a very kind and nurturing approach and my son is thriving under her care. She is always happy to support when needed and has been really helpful when any issues have arisen.

Adele is a fantastic childminder to my son who has been going to her since he was about 9 months old and is now almost 3. He adores her she's like an extension of the family.
Her home is a lovely warm environment where all the children seem to learn so much. My son's language developed so well with Adele and he's always excited and happy to go to her house which makes it a million times easier as a parent to send them somewhere they love while you're at work.
Adele always seems to have fun activities and trips out planned, they go to lots of different toddler groups and they have fun playing in her garden loads when the weather is better. She's great at communicating with us, keeping us up to date with what they're learning, what and how much they have eaten and she was so helpful and supportive during potty training, it was made much easier than expected! I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a childminder to any friends or family.
My daughter loves her and adores her. She is a great person. She helps my daughter with her food which my daughter doesn't like eating at home, but when she comes to Pranali she finish all her food i have pictures and videos of it.She is a great support system for my family. My daughter used to be shy but now she's outspoken and active. I will recommend her to everybody who needs child minder . She is gentle and caring for my daughter
My baby attended Charlie Bears for 9 months until we relocated and unfortunately had to move him to a setting closer to home. We loved Charlies, and were devastated at the move. He absolutely thrived under their care; his development had come on in leaps and bounds and they were a huge contribution to that. The staff are just wonderful, and attentive, and extremely understanding at providing photos and updates throughout the day. There is nothing like Charlie Bears out there - it's all the best parts of a nursery and childminder rolled in to one.

My son in is year 2 and having Emma tutor him every week has made the best difference in Maths, Reading and writing. We had his parents evening and his teacher mentioned what an amazing improvement he has made in all areas with Emma and is exceeding all areas and his confidence is so much higher. She also said there is always a difference when having a tutor but with Mason she has seen a massive jump and thatās down to the right tutor.
Mason enjoys his tutor sessions and looks forward to them, homework is no longer a āchoreā to him. Emma has really tailored her sessions around him and kept him engaged through out, which anyone with a child knows how tough this is to do after school for a short time let alone a whole hour, twice a week.
Thank you for your support and encouraging words with Mason, you always go above and beyond. We can see the difference and no doubt thereās a lot more to come.
With love from the Sidhu family

Lyndsey is an absolutely fabulous nanny to my two sons (5 and 9). She's patient and kind, super experienced and comes with a wealth of knowledge regarding caring for SEN kids. I feel very secure leaving them in her capable hands. I cannot recommend highly enough!

We were recommend Annabel following a terrible nursery settle in experience and itās the best decision we ever made.
I was very apprehensive returning to work following that traumatic experience, but meeting with Annabel, we were reassured from the get go that she was the perfect caregiver for our son.
Annabel is a wonderful, caring, kind and dedicated caregiver. She provides a personalised settle in experience for your child in a nurturing, warm and fun environment. Our son has made wonderful friends and feels very safe and happy with his carers. We can see incredible improvement week on week with his confidence, speech and learning, and itās so lovely to see him excited to spend the day there.
Annabel and her team are incredibly passionate about early years learning and we couldnāt be happier with the exceptional service they provide. We wouldnāt hesitate to recommend Annabel and are so grateful to her for making our first childās nursery experience such a positive one for the whole family!
Sarah has been the nanny to our daughter for nearly 3 years. She is a wonderful nanny and we're so sad that she will be leaving us when we move. Sarah is kind, professional, very knowledgeable about things to do for children in local area, and cares deeply about our daughter's development. Sarah has never been late nor taken a sick day, and is amazingly reliable. Our daughter adores Sarah, and they have a lovely bond.
Zaynah is the best childminder I could have for my son. She is the most calm and patient person I ever met, she is very supportive and helpful.
I never worry when my son is with her, she keeps me updated all the time.
They do lots of activities together, crafts, painting, going to the park, farm, soft play.
I can only say how grateful I am for finding her.

Jemma is a wonderful childminder who goes above and beyond for our daughter, nothing is a bother and she is always happy to help, give advice or answer any questions we ever have. We are really glad we chose Jemma, she does lots crafts, activities, educational learning and classes with the children and takes them out for the day which we are grateful for.
Currently our 2 children attend Jennys and they are both thriving and happy in her care. Jenny is loving, caring and patient with them both and they have come on in leaps and bounds in her environment. They have home cooked meals and attend clubs which is such a lovely bonus and the learning and fun they get up to each day is amazing to hear about. Jenny has been really accommodating with our needs and we would highly recommend Jenny to anyone.
Over the past three years, Cristina and Reza have become an integral part of our family. When we first faced the challenge of entrusting our 11āmonthāold daughter to someone for an entire day, five days a week, we were naturally apprehensive. However, we were incredibly fortunate to find Cristina and Reza. They cared for our daughter as if she were their own, and their warmth and professionalism quickly put our minds at ease. Their commitment to nurturing and supporting our little one has been truly remarkable, and it is with deep gratitude that we acknowledge the love and care they have given. I couldnāt recommend them more highly.
My daughter Fiia has been with Karen since October 2024 when she was just 10 months old. My husband and I don't have any family in the area, so Fiia was a bit wary of strangers. But the first day she met Karen, she instantly warmed to her. Now, every day that I take her to Karen's house, Fiia reaches out for a cuddle and is always so content. I feel so secure knowing that Karen is looking after her. Karen sends me regular updates and pictures throughout the day, and lets me know if she has any concerns about anything. Fiia has been thriving since attending Karen's. She socialises well with the other kids, she shares, and she is always smiling when I drop her off and pick her up. I feel so blessed that Karen was able to take Fiia on and I couldn't have asked for a better childminder. We are moving away in June back to Australia and it was such a hard decision because I really didn't want to separate Fiia from Karen. I would recommend Karen to anyone and everyone. You cannot find a more caring, cheerful, trustworthy, thoughtful childminder for your child. If she has space to take your child on, do it, you won't regret it. xx

Our daughter has been with Caroline for 1.5 years now and has loved every minute. She will sadly be leaving to go to farm school in September but we think Caroline is so amazing, weāre sending our other daughter there to start as our older one leaves. Our daughter has learnt so much with Caroline, she always comes home having learnt something new and has so much fun with her little friends. It is even nicer that there is a smaller group of them, as I know some childminders can have more but Caroline tends to keep her little group small which I think is really beneficial for them all. Caroline accommodates naps accordingly after liaising with parents and offers advice and works with parents through transitions such as stopping naps and potty training. Carolineās takes them out a lot so they get to explore, go on adventures and experience the world around them. Closer to home, they get to enjoy nature outside, with different animals and learning lots about how to grow things in the allotments. Sometimes I think my daughter comes home and teaches us a thing or two! Caroline is amazing at keeping in touch with parents, holding regular meetings for updates on our daughters progression, what sheās doing well at and where we can help her to excel further and develop new skills. She also posts daily updates on the app which is lovely and so nice to see some pictures of the fun theyāve had that day. In all honestly, prior to my daughter starting I was a bit dubious about sending her into any sort of day care, but I am so thankful we found Caroline, she has been absolutely amazing and also given us advice on the next steps and when to think about schools and which schools would be best for our daughter. Would absolutely recommend Caroline to everyone!
