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.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Donna. For three and a half years, she has been a constant source of joy, comfort, and stability. From the very beginning, she created a place where our little ones felt safe, loved, and completely themself. There was always so much excitement for “Donna days,” and the happiness afterwards said everything — the crafts, the games the adventures, and all the funny moments with the other “little pickles.” These memories will stay with us forever. Donna helped our child grow from a 9‑month‑old baby into a confident, sassy, hilarious little person who’s ready for new adventures. She isn’t just a childminder — she’s part of our family, someone we trust and appreciate more than words can say. You can tell that she genuinely cares about the children and loves what she does.
We came to Mill at short notice and really lucked out. Our toddler took to going to Mill's very quickly and was always well fed, well napped and happy at pick-up. She loved having care and attention from Mill in a smaller setting, as well as the chance to play with others her age and go on fun excursions to city farms, play groups, parks and more. Mill kept us up to date with her progress, messaging us with what they had been up to that day, what and how much she had eaten, how much she had slept, where they had gone and what educational worth activities had - as well as all the fun. Mill really helped us out and helped our little one grow in experience and confidence. She was accommodating of our haphazard schedule, agreeing to occassional days after a regular routine that fit around nursery. Thank you so much Mill!
My son started with Kayleigh when he was a baby and he is now 3 1/2 years old. We have only left Kayleigh’s setting because we have moved really far away. (And even then I did the journey 1 day a week for 1 year as we didn’t want it to end)
If we hadn’t have moved, we would have stayed right up until school age.
Kayleigh is a wonderful, warm hearted, experienced, professional Childminder. She is extremely easy to build a rapport with and my son absolutely adored her.
My son always came home smiling and he always looked forward to his days with her.
Kayleigh is a natural when it comes to caring for children , her setting is a beautiful garden cabin with lots of toys and sensory equipment.
Kayleigh shared all the similar values as me and this made our experience just perfect as for me this was very important.
Kayleigh was not just our Childminder she was more like a surrogate mother to my child and I know myself and my son will always have very fond memories of our time with her.
We already miss you .

I am very satisfied with their work.
The children are constantly involved in activities, studying, playing outside, cooking and developing. It was difficult for me to cope with my boys at home on my own, because one is 2 years old, the other is 3.5 years old, and Irene did it perfectly.
I sincerely recommend this institution
Jo is a fantastic childminder who has looked after our daughter since she was 11 months old. They regulary get out in the community to playgroups and visit the library and local parks. My daughter’s confidence and speech as developed massively since being with Jo. She has a warm and welcoming environment where my daughter confidently goes in every time. She will send us pictures of different things she has been doing and her communication is fantastic.
I would recommend Jo to anyone who needed a childminder. She is flexible when needed and understands our daughter’s individual need. She is amazing!

We are so sad to be leaving, and if we weren’t moving, we would absolutely continue our daughter’s care here without hesitation.
After a difficult experience with a large nursery and after viewing several childminders in the Harlow area, I was looking for someone with a genuinely warm and loving nature, someone who would comfort and nurture my daughter just as I would. From day one, I felt completely confident that we had found exactly that.
Moa creates a caring, safe, and happy environment, and it’s clear she does this job out of true love and passion. Her supporting childminders are just as kind, attentive, and clearly share the same values.
I think the days are well structured with lot of different activities, and I always receive regular updates, which is reassuring. It’s also a lovely setting in a beautiful area, which is a great bonus!
Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loved it here, which says everything. We couldn’t recommend Moa highly enough.

As a first time mother I was extremely nervous to leave my first born daughter under the age of 1. Laura has a beautiful calm nature and attends to babies individual needs.
As my daughter grew, Laura provided stimulating, educational activities as well as promoting life skills and experiences which I believe you would not experience in a nursery.
We loved Laura and her work ethic so much our second daughter now attends.
Laura provides a safe, positive and encouraging environment that allows children to flourish - my girl’s confidence physically and mentally has grown due to Laura’s kindness and encouraging attitude.
I will forever be grateful for the care Laura provided for my children.
My son spends three days a week with Elaine and has done since he was 11 months old. He's now 2 and a half and is absolutely thriving, he's constantly learning something new. Elaine's setting is the perfect set up, the children have access to an array of different activities and George is always getting up to something different.
He loves goings to Elaine's, she is a fabulous childminder and it's a massive relief knowing that George is so happy there. I get regular updates with pictures and videos to show me what him and his little pals have been up to throughout the day. I couldn't recommend her enough, I dread the day he leaves for school!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Angela and Cam highly enough. They have looked after both of my children, my eldest who is now 4 and my youngest since he was just 11 months old, and they have become so much more than childminders to us, they feel like part of our family.
From the very beginning, Angela and Cam have shown my children genuine love, care and kindness, treating them as if they were their own. Knowing my children are safe, happy and so well cared for gives me complete peace of mind every
They provide delicious, fresh home-cooked meals, and every day is filled with fun, learning and adventure. Angela and Cam put so much thought into supporting each child’s development through creative activities, play and new experiences that help them grow in confidence and reach important milestones. They enjoy regular days out, have built wonderful friendships with the other children, and come home full of excitement, eager to tell me all about their day.
One of the things I appreciate most is receiving regular photo updates throughout the day. Seeing their smiles and everything they’re getting up to is so reassuring and always brightens my day. They also make birthdays incredibly special, celebrating with thoughtful little parties that create such lovely memories.
The love, dedication and care Angela and Cam show every child is truly exceptional. They have created such a warm, nurturing environment where children can thrive, and I couldn’t ask for more. I honestly can’t imagine leaving my children with anyone else, and I feel incredibly lucky that they have been such an important part of our children’s lives. Thank you both for everything you do, we are so grateful for you.
Jess is absolutely incredible in every single way. She has been so much more than a nanny to our boys but become part of the family. We all adore her and she has shown the boys so much love, care and attention. She has an incredible bond with the eldest who is 3.5 years and he is always so happy to see her. She has also formed a great bond with the 16 month old twins. She has gone above and beyond for our family and I am gutted we can’t keep her on!

My daughter is beyond happy at Elaine’s. She is kind, caring and wonderful and I trust her with my daughter fully. My daughter does lots of amazing things at Elaine’s and learns so much. We moved further away but no part of me wanted to change childminder so I will drive any distance for my daughter to stay this happy somewhere. I cannot recommend Elaine enough! My daughter was 10 months when she started and I was very nervous about being back at work but after day 1 the nerves left and she has the best time. I get lovely pictures of my daughter throughout the day and she has a constant smile on her face. Elaine is just wonderful.

Maloryn has cared for our daughter from when she was just 9 months and it was clear from our initial meeting that she has a genuine passion for childcare. Since then they have developed a loving bond and she looks forward to the days when they can spend time together. We have always found Maloryn to be very kind and caring, well prepared and professional with communication. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her skills.
Both of my children have been with Annie since they were one year old, and my eldest is now just about to start school. I’ve recommended Annie to everyone I know, and several of my friends and family now use her too.
She provides a true home-from-home environment, and my children see Annie and her family as part of our extended family. They enjoy so many amazing day trips and enriching experiences, and I always know they are happy, safe, and well cared for.
Annie is warm, kind, and caring—everything you could hope for in a childminder. Her staff are fantastic too, and it’s clear they’re happy working there, as there’s very little staff turnover. The consistency has been so valuable for my children, allowing them to build strong, trusting relationships with the whole team.
I couldn’t recommend Annie and her team more highly.
Our daughter started at Emma's after a difficult few months with another childminder where she really struggled to settle in, so we were apprehensive about starting over again, but Emma and Charlett were wonderful. Everything they do is done with such kindness and care, it is such a gentle and nurturing environment. The playroom and facilities they have are fantastic, and they do great activities and days out with the children. Our little one loves the days she spends at Barnie tots, can't recommend highly enough!
Amanda has been a reliable, fun and organised nanny to two young boys (aged 3 and 1). She has been the sole carer for them; taking them to age appropriate and fun activities, preparing healthy meals, ensuring their safety, teaching them new skills. Her key strengths are being reliable and attentive. She has spent a lot of time reading and singing with both the boys, and playing creative games. We will be sad to no longer have her as our nanny and are simply no longer in need of a nanny. I highly recommend her, particularly for someone looking for a dedicated and organised nanny who has a warm personality that has made my two boys feel very secure.
We have been lucky enough to have Maloryn as part of our family's life for the past two years, and we honestly couldn't be more grateful. When we first moved to Kendal, we didn't have much of a support system, and finding trustworthy childcare felt overwhelming. Like many parents, we were anxious about leaving our son with someone else. Looking back now, choosing Maloryn was one of the best decisions we could have made.
From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and supported. She didn't just take wonderful care of our son, she also helped us adjust to our new life in Kendal. She shared helpful contacts, recommended places to go, gave us advice whenever we needed it, and was always willing to help in ways that went far beyond what we ever expected.
Our son absolutely adores her. Every time he knows he's going to see Maloryn, he gets excited. She has spoken to him in Spanish since he was little, and it's amazing to see how much he has learned because of her. More importantly, she has built such a beautiful bond with him that today he sees her as family, like an auntie he loves very much.
What we appreciate most is the genuine love and care she gives him. She is patient, kind, attentive, and always puts his well-being first. As parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your child is with someone who truly cares about them. Over these past two years, communication has always been easy, honest, and respectful. We have always trusted her completely, and that trust has only grown with time.
We recommend Maloryn wholeheartedly and without the slightest hesitation. She has been so much more than a caregiver to us,she has become an important part of our family's journey, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. We truly hope she will continue to be part of our son's life as he grows up.
