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.
Gosia has looked after both my children and she was very good with them.She is lovely,patient and very caring.Both my children loved and still love her because she played a huge part in making their life happy and comfortable while they were in her care.She is lovely and I would sum it up by saying childcare is her calling,she is so good at what she does and the children love her .
Noreen has looked after my baby on several occasions, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is kind, caring, professional, and genuinely attentive to my little one’s needs.
From the very first day, she built my trust and made me feel completely at ease. She has quickly become my go-to babysitter whenever I need someone to look after my baby. She takes the time to understand my baby’s routines and habits, and is always willing to be helpful and supportive.
She also keeps me updated while I’m away, which means so much to me, especially as I’m quite sensitive and naturally worry when I’m not with my baby.
I would highly recommend Noreen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable babysitter.

We have had our two girls with Karen for over a year now and could not be more impressed.
She constantly shows patience and love to our little ones, sings songs, bakes amazing cakes with them, and gives them memorable outings.
We were a little worried about her having dogs before the children went there, but now having seen how well trained and looked after the dogs are have no worries. An added benefit is that our children are now comfortable and confident around dogs having not grown up with them.
I would recommend Karen to everyone!
Marie was very welcoming from the start, we secured a space when my daughter was only about 6 weeks old to start at 9 months old as we knew the space would be snapped up quick!
Marie's house was very clean, tidy and welcoming. Lots of different range of toys for the children. We are very happy we chose Mia to spend her time there and very happy with the care received.
I received photos every single day and I knew Mia had a lovely time there and had such a close bond with the other children. Marie always took the kids out to do different activities each day whether that was the park, play group, soft play etc
Thank you so much for looking after Mia ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to Janine for the exceptional care, love, and dedication she provided to our daughter Hallie over the past three years.
Leaving your child with someone else is never easy. From day one, Janine created an environment that felt safe, warm, and loving. Our daughter did not just go to childcare; she went to a second home where she always felt completely secure.
Over the last three years, we watched our little girl blossom under Janine's guidance. The creative activities, outdoor adventures, and structured play directly shaped her confidence and curiosity. She learned to share, kindle friendships, and explore the world with absolute joy.
The balance of professional reliability and genuine affection Janine offers is RARE. We always received regular updates and photos that kept us connected to Hallie’s day. The patience, kindness, and individual attention given to her were truly remarkable.
We are not saying goodbye to Janine and her beautiful family quite yet. Although bittersweet as our little girl prepares to start preschool. The incredible foundation Janine provided has given her the best possible start in life and the confidence to take this next big step.
In Hallie’s place, Janine prepares to start the journey all over again with our 10 month old son Jaxon.
We highly recommend Janine to any family seeking a nurturing childminder and look forward to the next three years.❤️

Sent my boy to Ana from 18 months to until he started reception in 2026. My son adores her. She disciplines children really well and becomes like family instantly. Children are very well fed and cared for. She always goes out of the way to help families. Highly recommended.
Caring, kind & nurturing yet firm, Mel is an exceptional childminder & babysitter. She has been my 5 year olds childminder since she was one & is completely adored. Mel always ensures that a child's needs are met, not just educationally but also emotionally. Mel has also babysat on many occasions for my disabled daughter and her empathy, whilst also being pragmatic, is second to none. Mel is always one to go above & beyond & we see her as part of our family.

Rachel and Elle are just fantastic!
I can hand on heart say it was the best decision we made to place our twins with Rachel and team. They have been with Little Rays since they were 12 months old and now just leaving to start school, they have been such an import part of their lives!
They will be so missed (until half terms when the twins have requested to go back to RayRay)
The care and support they give the children is unmatched!
Thank you xx
I have known Jacky for two months, during which time she has looked after my 9-month-old baby on an ad hoc basis at our home.
She is committed to engaging my baby through play and interaction.
Jacky has been patient when my baby has experienced separation anxiety and has respected my requests and preferences around feeding, naps and activities.
She has provided helpful and timely updates and has made an effort to tidy away baby toys and cutlery before handover.
I appreciate Jacky’s reliable approach and look forward to continuing to work with her in this way.
Reuben has attended Samantha’s setting for over 3 years and has built a fantastic relationship with him, creating a real home from home
.
Samantha has taken him to a fantastic variety of activities, including local play groups, parks, soft play, museums, which have both been educational and lots of fun!
Since attending she has helped encourage and develop his confidence and language skills hugely , as well as life skills and creativity.
We really appreciate her flexibility and communication and we will al miss her!

I honestly cannot recommend Ellaine more highly. I sent my son to her when he was six months old, and he's now over two, and during that whole time there has not been one occasion when she hasn't shown him total love, care and attention.
When I went back to work, knowing my son was with Ellaine made everything so much easier. Her house is absolutely lovely, her garden amazing, and she takes the kids on great trips and makes everything so fun and exciting for them. I am just so glad and grateful to have found her, and really genuinely feel she has given my son a really great start in life. He loves the friends he's met there, talks about Ellaine all the time, and demands I take him there even on the weekends!
On a personal level, Ellaine is relaxed, easy to chat to, and has a good sense of humour! Her husband is also great, and their house has the feel and atmosphere of a truly happy family home.
If I have another child, I will definitely be sending them to Ellaine's!
I honestly don’t know where to start - our decision to include Gigi & Dodo in our family has been one of the best we’ve ever made. I am American and came to Gigi & Dodo as a new mom, so navigating the childcare system here was intimidating, not to mention how many childminders there are in London. When we met Gigi & Dodo for the first time, I got emotional bc I immediately felt relaxed the way I would with my own family - I just had this overwhelming feeling that we were meant to find them and add them to our village. My daughter has thrived here - she is a little thing and came into the world early, but she is fierce in her personality and I attribute that in large part to the confidence she’s gained here with such wonderful female role models. Gigi and Dodo also put my cooking to shame - I’ve asked for lunch leftovers more than once! Even in the morning, my dog pulls me and the stroller down the street just so she can get a cuddle in the morning from her favorite people, and I’m just as eager when I get to see them in the morning and at pick up. They’ve also made us better parents and me a better mom - they’ve given me so much confidence and they were the first people we told when we found out we were expecting our second - I have already asked to secure a place for our second baby end of 2027 bc I won’t send my kids anywhere else! We consider them family and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else the way we trust and love them. You’d be doing you and your family a disservice going anywhere else!

I couldn't be happier with my experience. My little one is absolutely thriving here and is always so settled and happy to go. Mel is very professional, caring and goes to such lengths to understand the individual needs of the children. Would recommend to everyone and anyone!!
Jo and Ryan looked after my child from when they were 11 months old and I returned to work up until starting school. I was extremely nervous about leaving them and as a first time Mum still finding my way. Jo and Ryan are extremely caring and supportive. I never had any worries or concerns about leaving my child as I knew they would always let me know if there was anything I needed to know.
My child loved going to there. The experiences they provided as a childminder was exceptional - bouncy castle, water fun, large garden play area, play house, large sandpit, pet hamster, role play area, lots of seasonal activities like visits from Santa and an Easter hunt, lots of arts and crafts and fantastic story sacks, that my child absolutely loved borrowing. All the same experiences that they would get a large nursery and much much more in a smaller more caring environment.
Anyone who is considering sending their child to Jo and Ryan’s make sure you go and visit to see the amazing setting and meet them in person.
Choosing Estelle as our childminder was honestly one of the best decisions we ever made. She looked after our son for four wonderful years, from when he was a little toddler through to starting school as a happy, confident five-year-old.
Estelle became such a special part of his childhood, and of our family. She has a real passion for the outdoors, and our son absolutely loved his adventures at Forest School and exploring the Rose Garden. He came home with so many stories, muddy clothes and wonderful memories!
What makes Estelle truly special is the love, kindness and patience she gives to the children in her care. She created such a warm, nurturing and happy environment where our son felt completely safe, loved and encouraged to be himself. As parents, knowing he was so happy and so well cared for meant absolutely everything to us.
Saying goodbye after four years was incredibly emotional. Estelle is so much more than a childminder to us, she genuinely feels like part of our family. We will always be grateful for the love, care, adventures and memories she has given our son during such an important part of his life.
We cannot thank Estelle enough and would recommend her from the bottom of our hearts. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their child. ❤️
Katie is a wonderful woman and our daughter felt as she was at a second home when Katie looked after her over the past 2 years. She is very caring and knows how to look after such tiny children. Our daughter learned perfect English manners, her vocabulary enriched and she was always happy to go to Katie's. Our daughter also learned to draw shapes, knows the colours and how to count - Katie is a wonderful educator, too!
It will be very hard to find a childcare professional as dedicated and intellectually stimulating as Katie.

Such an amazing babysitter, soo kind and lovely. She looked after my son who is autistic and he was well taken care off. She kept me updated throughout the day and I came back with my son looking all happy and settled. I will highly recommend her and definitely use her again anytime am in Manchester. She was really warm and nice to my other children as well and very well spoken approachable. She provided an excellent care. Thank you ever soo much 💓 ❤️
