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 Pooja. From the very first day, she has provided a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment that has made our child feel completely at home. It’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. Our child comes home from Pooja's with a big smile, new stories, and often new skills – from songs and crafts to improved communication and confidence. She provides thoughtful updates, photos, and feedback, which gives us such peace of mind. Most importantly, we know our child is genuinely cared for and valued. Highly recommend.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Alex, who looked after our son for 3 years from the age of 15 months. From the very beginning, her setting felt like a home-from-home – warm, nurturing, and filled with love.
Under Alex’s care, our son thrived. He learned so much – from developing confidence and strong social skills to even picking up Spanish! There was always a perfect balance of learning, creative play, and lots of time spent outdoors exploring.
We really appreciated the regular updates and especially the lovely photos she shared – it gave us such peace of mind and helped us feel connected to everything our son was experiencing during the day.
What really stood out was how genuinely cared for and secure he felt and even now, as he's coming to the end of his first year at school, he still talks fondly about his time with Alex.
We couldn’t recommend her more highly. She’s made a lasting, positive impact on our son’s early years, and we’re so grateful for the loving, engaging, and supportive environment she created.

Erica looked after our daughter twice while my husband and I were out for dinner during our holidays in the Lake District. She got her back to sleep easily when she woke up the first night and was very sweet to her. We felt our daughter was in good hands and would happily book Erica again if we're back in the area. Thanks Erica!

I don’t say this lightly… Aga is truly a wonderful nanny!
She is intuitive and gentle. She is fun and playful. She has so much energy and knows so much about child development.
My son has ASD & her knowledge of communication styles and patience have really helped my son. Whilst also taking the time to talk to me in detail about her observations.
But most of all... he loves her! My son is wary of people in our home, but has so much fun and plays freely with Aga.
I am so happy we found someone like her… trustworthy, reliable, kind, honest, playful, gentle. I couldn’t recommend a better nanny / childminder / babysitter!

Roxy and her team was looking after my daughter more than a yerar and we consider ourselves very lucky to have found her. I am still taking my daughter to Roxy's house during the schools holidays. Roxy is very warm and loving towards the children in her care - she seems genuinely pleased to see my daughter and my daughter loved going there too. Roxy is very friendly and Flexible. My daughters development was always improving due to being at Roxy's home, she came back with new words and actions that we haven't taught her before. Roxy was sending me photos , and i could see that there is a never-ending supply of toys and activities being made available. Childrens were taken to the park and library. I highly recommended. Roxy is amazing
Our Son has been going to Suzanne’s since last year and he loves it! Suzanne creates a very welcoming environment. The children are always so happy to see her and our son is super excited to go there in the mornings. She keeps you updated with how they have got on that day with the app. Highly recommend!
Tiba has been looking after our son since he was 1 year old, and for the past two years she has truly been a blessing to our family. From the very beginning, she created a warm, loving, and stimulating environment where our little one thrived.
Tiba is incredibly attentive, patient, and caring, you can see how much she genuinely loves working with children. Our son absolutely adored his time with her, and we saw so much growth in his confidence, communication, and independence during his time in her care. She always made sure the children had a great balance of learning, creative play, outdoor time, and rest all at a pace that suited each individual child.
One of the things we especially appreciated was the effort Tiba put into providing nutritious, homemade meals every day. She made sure the kids had a variety of delicious, healthy food and our son would often come home talking about what he ate that day.
Tiba kept us updated with lovely messages, pictures, and thoughtful feedback, which made us feel so connected and reassured throughout. It’s clear that she puts her heart into everything she does.
We’re genuinely sad to be moving on now that our son is heading to nursery, but we’ll always be so grateful to Tiba for the incredible care and support she’s given him and us. She has played such an important part in his early years, and we couldn’t have asked for more.
Thank you Tiba, you’ll always have a special place in our hearts!
We moved our 11 month old son to Nicky after 1 month at a nursery, where we were really unhappy with the care Jude was receiving. After only a couple of days with Nicky, Jude was so much more settled. 3 years later we are gutted to be leaving as it honestly felt like we were leaving our son with family. Jude comes home smiling every day, with lots of stories of adventures. We also have a WhatsApp group which tells us of everything Jude has been up to, as well as lots of photos and videos every day. We couldn’t be more grateful that we found Nicky and could not recommend her more highly!

Motia looked after my now 6 year old when he was preschool age, when it was time for him to move onto primary school I was pregnant and was lucky that Motia was kind enough to secure a place for our youngest when my maternity leave ended. He has been with her for nearly a year now and absolutely loves going there. Motia sends me photos during the day so I can see what they have been up to and he often comes home with lovely creations he has made, they go for days out and enjoy lots of different activities.
I highly recommend Motia to anyone looking for a childminder!
Donna has been caring for our son for last 7 months after end of maternity leave. The return to work is a especially hard stage for any parent. Donna has not only made that easier (no mean feat), but we have seen our son thrive in her care.
Donna is so kind, thoughful (to each childs needs) and genuinely believe the best in the business! We cannot rate Donna highly enough and so thankful she is part of our child's life.
Zakiya has been looking after my son since just before his second birthday. She provides a warm and nurturing environment in her lovely home which is stimulating and safe. My son is very happy in Zakiya’s care and I have total confidence that he is being well cared for. Zakiya provides daily updates and photos which I love and find really helpful when I am talking to my son about his day. I know exactly what he has eaten, how he has slept and what learning experiences he has had. I feel very lucky to have found Zakiya and would recommend her to any other local families who are looking for a ‘home from home’ environment for their little one.
Helen really is the most lovely, amazing childminder we have come across. She makes all the children feel safe and secure and treats them all with respect and care.
Our son has been attending since Sep 2024 and his development, speech and overall confidence has increased. We love that he has an equal amount of time for indoor and outdoor play at Helens house, along with going to external places and having the opportunity to socialise with other children outside of the ones Helens directly support.
Every morning, he’s always happy to go inside Helens house which gives us so much confidence that he is happy within her care.
We receive seasonal timetables showcasing what will be covered throughout the months. More importantly seeing that birthdays, cultures and festive seasons are all celebrated too.
We also have updates in our WhatsApp chat, which provides us with reassurance and treasured memories for us to keep hold of and show him!
Alisha is amazing with my two little boys! I was quite sceptical at first as the only childcare providers they’ve had was their nursery staff but they have really drawn to her, they are taken care of well in her care, my little ones are always excited to see her and really enjoy being with her. She is very friendly, and always smiling aswell so she’s easy to get along with which is another positive.

Our 3 and a half and 1 year old children have been with Jessica since they were 7 months old each, five days a week, nine hours a day. As parents, couldn’t be happier. Our children love going there every morning and staying with Jessica. The communication with her is always great and she has accommodated to the needs of our kids.
It’s reassuring to know that they are well cared, happy, and developing their skills and values.
We are not native English speakers and only speak Spanish and Italian with our kids. Yet our older child speaks perfect English, sings songs, and reads numbers and letters in English without problem. The fact that at Jessica’s home is the only place where he is exposed to English on a daily basis is clear evidence that our children are not only well cared for and given a joyful environment, but also that Jessica supports their development.
Akba has had my little girl for the past 3 years. She has provided exceptional care for my child in a home environment that truly feels like an extension of our own family. She is deeply caring and attentive to each child’s individual needs, and it shows in how happy and excited my child is to go to her each day.
Her home is warm, welcoming, and full of love—not only from her, but also from her older daughters who are equally lovely and supportive. They’ve even helped with home babysitting on occasion, which has been such a blessing.
She offers a wide range of enriching activities, including regular trips to the park, playgroups, the farm, the library, and fun picnics. There is always something new and engaging for the children to enjoy. She also encourages creativity and fun at home by baking delicious treats with the children, which they absolutely love.
One of the things I value most is her dedication to providing healthy, home-cooked meals. She not only makes sure the food is nutritious, but also goes the extra mile to cook my child’s favorite meals, making her feel truly special and cared for.
What speaks volumes is the affection my child shows—hugging her every day when we leave. It’s clear that she is not just a childminder, but someone who genuinely loves and nurtures the children in her care.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and deeply committed to their child’s wellbeing and happiness.
Joy is an exceptional Childminder. From the very beginning she cared for both my children like they were her own. Very flexible, always available to help out more. My 2 children couldn’t have been happier than when they were at joy’s house. They were always safe, happy & loved.

Abi has been absolutely amazing for our family since we moved to Royston in 2021. Our oldest boy went to her for a year when he was 2 and our youngest is still with her sadly due to finish in September for school! Both boys have loved being with Abi - she’s incredibly kind gentle caring with them and all the kids. Abi takes them out to fun groups and they have a lot of fun going to parks and having little picnics etc. my two boys were very happy with her and my youngest who only goes 2 days a week at the moment keeps asking to go 4 days:-) I would highly recommend Abi if you are looking for an excellent childminder - we are so grateful we didn’t need to send the boys to a nursery setting when they were so young ( under 2) I believe they got so much more one to one care and love at Abis. You can tell she cares so much for each of the kids that attend too which is lovely. Lastly Abi has helped us out a few times outside of the normal hours when we needed help so badly
( no family near by) like when I I was in labour with
My youngest she helped with my oldest boy and we were so relieved he was with someone he trusts. Abi is excellent - don’t hesitate! We will miss her so

Felicity offers a safe and engaging atmosphere for my baby boy. She heads out to soft play and playgroup activities throughout the week. Felicity keeps us updated with our baby’s progress and gives us advice when we ask for it.
Felicity’s hard work is enabling our baby boy to flourish!
