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.
Our little boy joined Amelia’s House in May and we couldn’t feel luckier to have Annabel and the team care for him. Everything Annabel does has been thought out with so much care, consideration and thoroughness, meaning our little boy is thriving and so happy. It is a lovely setting which is like a childminder/nursery hybrid and this means he gets the perfect combination of structure, interaction, consideration of child development and love. Since the beginning, we have felt so confident leaving him with the team thanks to the considered settling in period and how well Annabel and the team got to know him so quickly. The community events including park trips, fun days, family breakfasts and even sports day are such special memories to have together and to see him in the setting. As well as this, we have already had a detailed parents meeting setting out next steps to work on together.
I could go on and on, but we are just so grateful our little boy is in the most perfect setting and we can’t wait to see what the next few years there brings.
Atefeh and her team have looked after both my children over the last 10 years, and I can honestly say we are so grateful. She is dedicated, thoughtful, and kind, organising brilliant engaging and educational activities for each day, as well as many fun outings which my children have really enjoyed. The food provided has been excellent and plentiful, and her setting really feels like a home away from home. We now count her as family and will be sad now that my youngest is heading to school as she has been instrumental to providing a loving environment whilst we work. Thank you Ati, Hassan and all the wonderfully caring team members.
My daughter was cared for by Carla & Luis from 11 months to a month short of her 3rd birthday. The care provided was outstanding and Carla treated my daughter like her own- very kind, caring and loving. Lots of support given to her for key milestones such as speech and the children have access to many toys and activities. The only reason we moved was finding provision nearer to home to reduce commute. Carla is a kind woman who proactively seeks positive relationships with parents and to make the child’s experience the best possible.

Sally-Ann her amazing team looked after my son for over 2 years, he has loved his time at the setting. He has grown in confidence so much under her care. He’s excited to go in the morning and talks for ages about what he got up to, her allotment, his friends and the staff with such enthusiasm. I would recommend the team very highly.

Shadia has been such a wonderful help to our family. She is warm, kind and caring with my two young children, and having her around has made our mornings so much easier. She is reliable, hardworking and always willing to help with whatever needs doing. My children are very comfortable with her, and I really appreciate the genuine care and patience she shows them. She has been a lovely, supportive presence in our home, and I would happily recommend her to another family.
Lulu looked after all three of my boys over the last 8 years, from when they were 1 years old up until they went to school. My youngest is now heading to school and we’re really going to miss her!
She’s offered so much love and care, they all settled well and enjoyed their time with her. Lulu has a great playroom for the children, and offers so many fun activities for learning development. She also takes them on outings such as the library, farm, Air Museum.
I highly recommend Lulu if you’re looking for that home from home for your little one where they’re supported to thrive and develop in their own time. Plus, every week she send lots of photos so you get to see what they’ve been up to!
Shazia and her daughter looked after our daughter from when she was 10 months old until she turned two, and we were very sad to leave them when the time came! They both have such a naturally warm and calm presence and we always felt like our parenting values aligned with theirs.
There was always great communication, especially in those first few weeks, we felt very reassured that our daughter was happy and settling in well from the pictures that Shazia sent us.
Before we started with Shazia, my daughter had only ever been breast-fed to sleep for naps, so I was nervous about whether she'd nap with a childminder, but Shazia couldn't have been more reassuring, and from Day 1 our daughter napped happily in her setting.
Shazia's setting was always clean, and she creates lots of activities to keep the children entertained, including trips to the local park, or the Wetlands in nice weather too.
All of this to say that we couldn't recommend Shazia highly enough!

Carla looked after our 7yr old daughter whilst we attended a wedding.
Organising to have Carla babysit for us was a breeze and she was accommodating of our Airbnb location changing.
Our daughter loved having Carla look after her and happily told us of all the fun things they did.
Booking a babysitter when travelling from overseas can be a bit daunting but I would highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for someone to care for their child/ren.
Louisa was an excellent babysitter, obviously very experienced with children and won my 4 year old over immediately- he couldn’t wait to chase us out the door for our night out 😆. She even managed to get him to go to bed and sleep by a decent time which was a minor miracle as he normally doesn’t go to bed for anyone but us!
My daughter is ALWAYS excited every day she is going in, she settled in very well and fast, she has made so much progress with learning, socialising and individual development. we are always at peace knowing she is somewhere she is been looked after. Val is an awesome childminder.
Hayley and her mum, Jan, were absolutely brilliant with our daughter during the 10 months she attended their setting. She quickly became very happy, comfortable and settled there.
The setting is always clean and welcoming, and Hayley regularly takes the children to playgroups, parks and other activities, giving them lots of new experiences. Our daughter learned so much during her time with them.
We only changed childminders because we moved to a different area otherwise, I would never have chosen anyone else. We will always be grateful to Hayley and Jan and would wholeheartedly recommend their setting to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing place for their little one.
We arranged for Jamie to take care of our 5 month old son whilst we attended our friend’s wedding. We met the day before for a coffee and to discuss his schedule, this instantly made us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she arrived early and took care of our son like he was her own. Updated us with pictures and messages (a god send to me who’s obsessed with my son).
Will 100 percent book again when we visit south wales again.
Thank you Jamie!
We booked Jamie as an event nanny, and she was an absolute dream from start to finish. Her kind, caring nature made us feel completely at ease right away, and our son adored her instantly. She kept him happy, safe, and fully entertained throughout the event, allowing us to relax completely knowing he was in the best hands.
We only wish we could have her full-time! She is truly the best, and we couldn't recommend her more highly to any family looking for exceptional care.
We are incredibly grateful to Judy for the wonderful care she provided for our little one over the past two and a half months. She was professional, punctual, reliable and excellent at communicating and coordinating with us. She was also very flexible and stepped in to support our family when our previous childcare arrangement unexpectedly came to an end, which meant so much to us.
Judy was wonderful with our little one and showed great patience, warmth and understanding. She took him to different places, encouraged him to explore and enjoy his surroundings, and adapted activities to suit his interests and individual needs.
We particularly appreciated how attentive she was to his personality and the way he experiences the world. She took the time to understand him rather than expecting him to fit into a particular routine.
We are very grateful for all the care, patience and kindness Judy showed him during her time with our family. We would happily recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, professional and genuinely committed to the wellbeing of their child.
We have had the pleasure of knowing Stacey for a few years now, and she has had both of our girls in that time. We really do appreciate what she done for them and would recommend her if asked. Our girls have even caught up with Stacey and her boys even after childminding and once they joined school.

Pavlina looked after my little girl overnight regularly for the first couple of months. She was brilliant with the baby (helping my daughter to settle), friendly and reliable. She immediately put me at ease. I also appreciated her flexibility when my schedule was uncertain. I highly recommend Pavlina for anyone needing overnight help!
