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 have a very young baby (7 months now) and Jess has been an absolute treasure since we contracted her services.
She's so good with our little one! She focuses on chemistry first and then takes care to ensure the baby is well fed, well entertained and walked (in a pram).
She does everything I would do with her, including nappy changes and songs!
I can't recommend her enough and our baby agrees.
We're now on our third week and we want to continue with Jess as long as we can :)
Ps. She is as punctual as a German and very tidy
Thank you

During a very difficult period for our family, my wife has been struggling with depression, while I have been trying to work from home and take care of our daughter on my own. We were looking for support and reliable childcare to help us get through this challenging time.
Unfortunately, our request was rejected by CJ One. We only mentioned that we might consider switching to nursery in the future, but we also would be happy to continue with their service for as long as they could provide the right support for our family.
We were disappointed that our situation did not seem to receive much understanding or flexibility. It felt as though the focus was more on protecting long-term financial interests rather than offering a helping hand to a family going through a difficult period.
Saffiya is an experienced, qualified, dedicated, hardworking, honest, punctual and intelligent care giver. She has been tutoring my autistic non-verbal son for a while, and we have already started seeing improvements in his speech, learning, behaviour, self help and motor skills.
This is because she puts a lot of effort and insight into her work. She is a good listener and a good communicator, and resonates with our thoughts.
I would like to continue longterm collaboration with her for my son's progress. And I totally recommend her.
Our son started attending Pegah’s when he was 12 months. I was really nervous about him going to childcare and couldn’t be happier that we found Pegah and the wonderful childcare she offers. There are really no words to explain how great I think Pegah is, but I’ll try…
Pegah, Medhi and her team are incredible with the children. It is clear that they love the children and they are looked after with absolute love and care in a wonderful home and nurturing environment.
There are amazing trips almost every day to a huge variety of places which are enriching for the children: the local farm, Kew Gardens, the Wetlands Centre, soft play. Every afternoon Pegah arranges amazing activities for the children, based on different themes each week (for example, for “ocean week” they made and painted a wonderful seascape, and since “bee week” my son has adored seeing bees). She clearly spends a huge amount of time and energy planning and executing the activities for the children and I’m amazed every week at what she plans for them.
Pegah puts love and care into the food the children eat and I’m always impressed by the wonderful homemade menu she creates for the children. There is never anything unhealthy or processed.
Pegah has managed to help us along the way with what feels like incredible individualised care, such as helping with his naps and helping him to settle when he started.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Pegah and what she offers. I don’t see any other childcare which comes close to offering what Pegah does and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a loving and enriching environment for their child
We honestly could not have hoped for a better childminder. From the very beginning, she has been caring, kind, professional, and incredibly organised, giving us complete confidence that our son is in the best possible hands.
She has such a natural way with children, and our son absolutely loves spending time with her. It’s wonderful to see how happy, comfortable, and excited he is every time he goes. She takes the time to understand his personality and always makes him feel safe, valued, and encouraged.
Her communication with us is excellent, and it’s clear how much thought and effort she puts into planning activities and creating a nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and develop. Nothing ever feels rushed or overlooked.
As parents, there is no greater reassurance than knowing your child is being cared for by someone who genuinely loves what they do. We trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have found her.
We would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a childminder. She has exceeded all of our expectations, and we are so grateful for everything she does.
We have been with Nina for 8 years, first with my son Martin and then with Gabriel, who is starting Reception this September. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder.
Nina and her team are like a family-run business. They care for every child with so much love, kindness, and attention. They always take the children's feelings into consideration and make sure they feel safe, happy, and valued.
The children enjoy so many wonderful activities, including baking, building, trips to the park, visits to see animals, and even planting trees. Every day is filled with fun, learning, and new experiences.
Nina is one of the most caring people I have ever met, and the rest of the staff are just as amazing. She has always treated my children like they were her own, and she was like a grandmother to them. Knowing they were always safe, loved, and well cared for gave me complete peace of mind.
If you are looking for someone who will care for your child as lovingly as you would yourself, I cannot recommend Nina highly enough. She has been such an important part of our family's journey, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for Martin and Gabriel.
Amir has been attending Tiny Treasures for a few months now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care he receives. He absolutely enjoys his time there, and drop-offs are always smooth, which gives me so much reassurance as a parent.
Erum treats Amir as if he were her own, and you can clearly see the lovely bond they have built. He is always happy to see her and comes home smiling, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and well cared for he feels.
The setting itself is always clean, welcoming, and well organised. Although it’s a cosy environment, it has a huge garden where the children have plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy outdoor activities.
The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Communication is excellent, and it’s lovely to receive updates and know Amir is happy, safe, and learning every day.
I would highly recommend Tiny Treasures to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and loving environment for their little one. Thank you, Erum and the team, for everything you do!
Great care provider, safe, hygienic and overall perfect communication with parents!
Our son has been with Sara for almost 2.5 years and she has been an excellent care provider throughout this time. We feel very fortunate for the great start she has provided him.
Her communication has been brilliant - updates throughout the day as well as end of day summaries, and reviews 2-3 times a year to discuss progress and next steps. She has even liaised with his preschool to support his transition and to ensure cohesion with potty training.
Over the last few years we have regularly been told how advanced our son's skills are, especially his speech, and Sara has had a big hand in this. Following development schemes which focus on a wide breadth of skills (physical and emotional as well as educational) she creates fun and interactive activities for the children. But she is also considers their interests, setting up dedicated activities for them (for us that has involved dinosaurs and bugs). Our son particularly enjoys the learning walks they go on, and going to the local playgroup which Sara is a keen supporter of.
Our son has thoroughly enjoyed his time with Sara and I know he'll miss attending the setting. It was a bit of no brainer when we needed childcare for our youngest and we feel very fortunate that our youngest is able to follow in his brother's footsteps.
We were looking for a temporary Nanny in the northeast of England for our holidays and were very fortunate to come across Kelly. Before we even arrived, she had laid out some ideas for an itinerary for our two year-old. She was very flexible with our schedule and really engaged with our child. She put safety first and was very engaging and I really recommend her.
Steph has been fantastic with my 4year old daughter. After having lots of life changing events, Steph has made her feel welcome and secure. She takes the children on outings and ensures they get plenty of outdoor time or exercise. Over the last 2 years I've seen amazing development in both my daughter's social and academic skills all thanks to Steph's patience and experience.
Steph's communication is excellent and she always provides updates and a detailed handover at pick up. As a single parent, I also appreciate her flexibility, it's been a lifesaver.
Steph has become an extension of my daughter's family and even now she's started school she still talks about Steph's house and how she misses it!
My son has been with steph a year, and she is incredible.
An outstanding childminder who truely goes above and beyond! My son is always happy, well cared for and excited to attend. The environment is warm, safe and welcoming, with plenty of fun and educational activities. Communication is excellent, and i always been confident when my son has been with steph as ino he is in great hands. I woulr
Highly recommend steph to any parent looking for an outstanding childminder.
My son has come on so much this year whilst being with steph, he is very well
Spoken, has good communication skills and is thriving. Steph treats my son like one of her own children and thats amazing to be able to witness. The children are always on a little adventure with steph taking them nice
Places, not only does steph care exceptionally for the children she cares for, she is also on top form when it comes letting me no, how my sons day had been, what he has been up too, nap time etc.
Thank you so much steph it has been a pleasure you looking after my son
Finding someone you trust completely with your child is one of the hardest parts of parenting. From the moment Maria joined our family, however, our worries disappeared. She cared for our daughter from age 12 months to 15 months, and we could not have asked for a more loving, capable, and dedicated nanny. We would have kept Maria with us long term if we could, but our family circumstances changed, and she will be sorely missed.
Maria joined us during a major developmental stage, as our daughter progressed from taking her first unsteady steps to toddling confidently and exploring the world around her. Maria celebrated each milestone, encouraged her curiosity, and nurtured her independence in a safe, loving environment. She also played an important role in developing our daughter’s speech and encouraging her to use words to communicate.
Maria actively engaged our daughter with age-appropriate sensory play, reading, outdoor walks, and fun learning activities that kept her happy and thriving every single day. She is always punctual, trustworthy, and well organised. She maintained our daughter’s nap and feeding schedules effortlessly, leaving us completely at ease while we were at work.
Above all, Maria’s warmth is unmatched. Our daughter’s face lit up every time Maria walked through the door, and she would run to Maria for a hug. It was incredible for us to see our daughter bond with Maria.
Maria wasn't just a nanny; she truly felt like an extension of our family. Any parents would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their little one. We give her our highest possible recommendation!

Rachel has been amazing for our family when we need to attend an event or have a date night.
Our little boy, who usually takes quite a while to warm up to new people, went straight to her without hesitation. Seeing how comfortable and happy he was with her from the very beginning made us so happy!
Rachel cared for our 2-year-old with so much patience, warmth, and love. She spent time doing activities with him, reading stories, feeding him, and settling him down for bed time.
As parents, there's no greater comfort than knowing your child is safe, loved, and happy, and that's exactly how we felt every time he was with Rachel. She is reliable, trustworthy, and her communication was always fantastic, which made leaving our son in her care so much easier.
If you're looking for someone who is kind, nurturing and dependable, I can't recommend Rachel highly enough.

Taty is one of the most experienced, kind, loving people that I have ever met. I took my two daughters to London, a little nervous as to how they will adjust to a new country, new environment and a new day care! But, Taty made it all so smooth and loved my both daughters so dearly, they now speak about her all the time and want to go back to her. If we could, we would take Taty with us, she's such a wonderful person even to be with. I recommend T-house in a heartbeat and very glad and grateful to all the staff at Taty's place who take exceptional care of children. The food is amazing, cooked from scratch, she takes them to wonderful places and experiences like every Friday Costa Coffee, then the London Zoo, Kew Gardens etc. My daughters settled within just a few days and enjoyed every minute there.
London means Taty for my daughters and I look forward to visiting her more in the coming years.
Thank you so much Taty for everything!
I am so grateful to have found such an amazing babysitter. As a teacher, she brought so much more than just childcare. She was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with my son, who has special needs, and quickly built a wonderful connection with him.
She always went above and beyond to make him feel safe, engaged, and happy, adapting to his individual needs with genuine care and professionalism. Knowing he was with someone so compassionate gave me complete peace of mind.
I would highly recommend her to any family. She is truly exceptional!
We are so grateful for the amazing care our son receives. Kim and Leanne are genuinely lovely and have created a warm, happy environment for kids. They take the children out almost every day, exploring parks, soft play, farm, and fun activities like strawberry picking or messy play. It’s a fantastic place for little ones to grow and enjoy themselves. Our son is always excited to see them and comes home full of stories about their outings.
My 2 children (age 1&2) have been going to Dawn for the last few months and I honestly couldn’t have picked a better or more trusting women to leave my children with. My children absolutely love going there and going on all their adventures with Dawn. It’s only been a short time but feels like we have known her years, like she’s part of the family❤️ so flexible and helps us out where ever she can! We could not have moved house if it wasn’t for her having the kids longer hours at such short notice, absolute lifesaver! Both my kids have come on in such a short space of time, my little boy is counting up to 20 and singing his alphabet and also started wearing big boy pants full time, all with the help of Dawn. Honestly couldn’t fault her in the slightest! Shes just so loving and welcoming❤️
We are a family of 5 who spent one month in London this summer and heavily relied on the support provided by Maddy over a 4 weeks period, 3 days/week.
We are very grateful for everything that Maddy and Violet have done for our family over this period as it allowed us to focus on work while our daughters were well looked after.
The girls have absolutely loved every minute they spent with them. They came home every day excited to tell us about the parks they had visited, the games they had played, and all the fun they had together.Maddy has really made this summer incredibly special for them.
Violet, her daughter, is such a kind, thoughtful, and wonderfully raised young lady which is of course credit to Maddy. They both welcomed the girls from day one, included them so naturally, and were incredibly patient with them. We know that communicating wasn't always easy with their modest English, and that they were sometimes a little fussy simply because they were tired, but both Maddy and Violet always showed so much understanding, kindness, and care.
Knowing the girls were in good hands allowed us to focus on work without worrying, and that peace of mind meant more than one can imagine.
We were impressed by the energy, the warmth, the patience they have shown and for creating so many happy memories for our girls. We will all remember this summer with great fondness, and we hope our paths cross again!❤️🙏🙏🙏
