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.
Hayley is the most caring and loving childminder you could ask for! Both of my girls have been with Hayley since they were 10 months old and they both truly adore her. The ways she teaches the children is incredible and I believe that both of my children have learnt the best foundations in life from her. Even their pronunciations with speech are incredible from Hayley’s persistence and love of teaching them. We are so sad to leave Hayley and the girls will truly miss her but we will never lose contact. The range of activities and days out they have are endless and they are always learning something new. If I could have Hayley with my children throughout their entire education I would. If you are looking for someone to trust, care, support, teach and nurture your little ones then Hayley is the lady you need to contact. Thank you Hayley it’s been such a pleasure and we will always be in contact.
My daughter has thrived under Sophia’s care. In a short time, her language has improved noticeably, and she enjoys a wonderful variety of activities and trips. Sophia consistently goes above and beyond, creating a nurturing and engaging environment where I feel completely at ease knowing my daughter is happy and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

My son is thriving with Hollie and Mel! Despite struggling a tiny bit with drop offs, he is getting increasingly confident and the communication is excellent! When you’re at work but wondering how they’re getting on it’s great have frequent actions updates, knowing they’ve settled in seconds and happily playing is so reassuring! There is an array of toys and activities on offer, a wide range of foods and excellent level of care provided.

Sarah is a wonderful nanny with many years experience. She looked after my two boys for several years and they enjoyed their time with her. With the eldest autistic boy she takes to him and has him confidence and with the younger helped him academically with phonics and spellings. Kind friendly and SEN friendly we greatly valued her input and reliability over the time she was with us.
I am very selective about who I leave my 18 month old son with as I have levels of anxiety surrounding leaving him.
When I have left him with Jemma, she has given me plenty of reassurance and updates. Jemma provides nurturing child centered care, which is something I appreciate as I know I would always be contacted in the event of him being very distressed. She listens to my preferences in terms of how to proceed with nap time and what creams I like to use use etc and she takes time to really get to know the individual needs of your child. I feel so confident leaving my son with Jemma, knowing he is in such a safe and nurturing space. Additionally, the setting is incredibly clean and the food provided is healthy and fresh.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Emma who is such caring and dedicated childminder for our daughter. Initially we were not sure and nervous like any other parent but soon we realised that she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that immediately put us at ease.
Our daughter absolutely loves spending time with her and other children in her setting. Communication has been excellent throughout, she keeps us regularly updated with how the day has gone, which we really appreciate. It’s reassuring to know our daughter is in such capable and attentive hands.
We couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about childcare.

My child has been with Maria since she was 8 months old, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she has received. Maria and her team are truly amazing. They use an app that keeps you updated daily with details about meals, activities, toileting, as well as craft and cookery sessions, which is incredibly reassuring.
The love, attention, and learning environment they provide have made such a positive impact. My daughter is a credit to the care she’s received from Maria and her team. Thank you so much.

Draga appears caring but initially disorganized. She cared for our 3-month-old girl over five weeks.
What I found particularly unprofessional was her arriving at work with a cold, including a fever, cough, blocked nose, and no voice. We sent her home and paid her for her time, but then she was absent for more than three weeks, often sending late afternoon messages to inform us she couldn't work.
In a professional setting with a contract, typically, a medical certificate confirming incapacity for extended periods would be required.
Regarding financial matters, she repeatedly stressed the importance of having a contract and expressed worries about her financial situation due to unemployment and the need for new housing. I even offered her temporary accommodation at our home as a last resort.

We had a really positive experience with Fizz & would happily recommend her. She looked after our 9 and 12 year old and was consistently kind, attentive, & generous with her time and energy. The kids genuinely enjoyed being with her, she kept them engaged with a great mix of activities, from baking and board games, to trips to the park, as well as hairstyles and gaming. It felt like a really thoughtful balance that suited both ages well. We always felt confident that the children were safe and well cared for, and that peace of mind means a lot.
She is a lovely person who clearly cares about the children she looks after, and we’re very grateful for the support she gave our family.
Thank you Fizz.
Sarah
When we first considered childminders instead of nurseries, we were a little unsure whether it would be the right decision as first time parents. However, upon meeting Sarah we were immediately reassured by her calming presence aswell as her clear knowledge and experience with children.
River has flourished in so may ways since being with Sarah and often talks about how much fun he has with her. His speech has improved considerably and Sarah pays special attention to any area that needs working on, as well as ways we can help with his development at home.
Sarah is attentive, caring, understanding and flexible. We really appreciate the many outings she takes the children on, the focus on practical activities and fresh air! She has been incredibly adaptable to our son’s allergies and dietary requirements and always provides nutritious meals.
We would highly recommend Sarah to any parent considering a childminder environment!!

Maria has been looking after my daughter since July 2024 and I cannot fault her. My daughter absolutely loves going to Maria’s and I have never had any issues with her since being there.
My daughter is always so happy upon pick up and tells me all about all the lovely activities that have done from going to the park, making cakes and treats, dressing up and playing play doh!
I never have to worry about my daughter whilst she is in Maria’s care as Maria keeps us regularly updated via the app and will always check in if needed. Maria updates the app regularly with nappy changes, pictures, meals and nap time. It’s so reassuring to know your child is really looked after whilst not in your care.
Maria and the team are super flexible on the odd occasion I have been caught at work and nothing is ever too much trouble. We truest value Maria and her team and would be lost without them.
I cannot recommend Maria enough.
We’ve used Motia for years now. She has looked after all three of my little girls and they absolutely love going to her for the day. Motia does fun things with the children everyday from groups to planned crafting sessions. The girls always come home with lots of art work and beaming smiles. I’m regularly updated throughout the day with photos and they’re always so happy! It’s been wonderful having a local childminder and we couldn’t have been happier with Motia. If I could give her more than 5 stars I really would. She goes above and beyond and we’re so happy to have her in our lives!

We are truly grateful we found Amber
Her home is welcoming, nurturing and a safe environment for children. Her main focus is making sure that the children feel loved and safe and feel that they are in a home away from home, my little girl was a bit nervous about going but Amber was incredibly patient, reassuring land attentive and she soon settled, and now gets very excited when we pull up outside.
Amber always ensures the children have plenty and a variety of activities for them to get involved with every day whether that’s at home or out and about at a farm, baby group, softplay or nature walk.
We’ve seen such a positive difference in our child’s social skills, and is really starting to become independent and enjoying getting involved in different activities.
We have had top form Communication from Amber we are always kept informed about daily activities, meals, and progress, with photos which is a joy to see.
Overall Amber has made this whole journey for us as parents and our little girl a whole lot easier and would highly recommend her!
I met Raheena face to face last week for a stay and play session. Raheena was very pro-active in having a wide variety of activities available and encourage child led engagement so she could identity the best way to understand and support my son. Raheena was very open and honest during our discussion about the setting, skills amd abilities.
My son is 8 years old and has ASD as well as some other additional needs. During our conversation and seeing her interact with my son, it is very clear Raheena has extensive knowledge and experience in which she applies in her practice.
My son is currently going through his settling in transition, and is engaging in so many different activities that support his learning and independence.
Raheena has a lot of valuable resources to support the children with routine and structure. I highly recommend Raheena :)
Mamit was our daughter’s childminder for 9 months and we had such a lovely experience with her.
From the very beginning, she was warm, kind, and professional and it was clear how much she cares for children. Our daughter settled in quickly which gave us great peace of mind.
She provides a safe, clean, and welcoming environment, with lots of fun and engaging activities that support learning and development. We really appreciated the balance of playtime, quiet time, and regular outdoor activities.
Communication was always excellent and she was very flexible with our schedule which was a huge help with our work commitments.
We feel very grateful to have found Mamit and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable, and high-quality childminder.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives at Daisy Daycare. The staff take such wonderful care of him, and we’ve seen incredible development in his independence, speech, counting, and sharing. He even knows every action to every nursery rhyme, which is such a joy to see!
It’s clear that the team truly care for the children so beautifully. We’re always kept up to date with how his day has gone via the app, and we receive plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day, which is so reassuring. As the children get older, they make great use of the outdoor space and playground on the ground floor, which is fantastic.
The termly trips are amazing and really set Daisy Daycare apart. The team has taken our son to places like the London Aquarium, Vauxhall City Farm, and even the local fire station—experiences we really value.
The setting itself is always very clean and well-organised. Sophia regularly introduces new toys tailored to each child’s interests. For our son, this included a builder’s toolbox with wooden hammers and screws, which he absolutely loved.
Our son also eats very well at Sophia’s. The food is thoughtfully planned, homemade, and encourages healthy habits. He’s even learning to use cutlery from a very early age, which has been wonderful to see.
Another huge advantage is Sophia’s flexibility with days and drop-offs/pick-ups, which makes a big difference for our family.
Overall, we feel Daisy Daycare is a hidden gem, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to watch our little boy thrive there each day.
Elsie started with Michelle in September when she was two and a half, after her previous childminder had to cut down her hours. Elsie can be very shy when meeting someone new, but Michelle immediately put her at ease and made her feel so comfortable and welcome.
Since starting with Michelle, Elsie has grown so much. Her confidence has blossomed, and now she happily runs over to Michelle and straight into the car each morning without hesitation. Seeing how happy and settled she is speaks volumes about the care, patience, and kindness Michelle shows her.
As a parent, it’s the most reassuring feeling knowing your child is safe, loved, and in such good hands every day. We are so grateful to have found Michelle and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and trustworthy childminder.
I cannot recommend Uzma enough. She has been absolutely amazing and truly cares for my son as if he were her own.
When my son started with her, he was over two years old and non-verbal. Within just three months, he began saying his first words. Before six months, he had learned all his alphabets, phonics, and numbers from 1 to 10, and has even started spelling. The progress he has made under Uzma’s care has been incredible.
Uzma is kind, patient, and very accommodating. She is also flexible and understanding, especially when unexpected situations come up and adjustments to drop-off or pick-up times are needed. As a student-parent, this has been such a relief, knowing my child is in a safe and nurturing environment while I attend my classes without worry.
She provides a wide range of toys and activities, and her large garden gives the children plenty of space to explore and play. She pays close attention to their feeding, ensures they are always clean and well cared for, and regularly sends updates and pictures throughout the day, which I always look forward to.
Most importantly, Uzma has made a life-changing difference for my son. He is now more confident, communicates better, says “please” and “thank you,” follows simple instructions, and is gradually learning to interact and play with other children. He genuinely enjoys his time with her and often misses going there.
I am incredibly grateful for everything Uzma has done for our family. She has made a lasting impact on our lives, and we will never forget her. I highly recommend Uzma without any reservations!
May God continue to bless her always.
